How significant was the transition from Windows 98 to Windows XP for gaming? In what ways did it shape PC gaming, and do you have any personal experiences from upgrading that stand out?
>>12028584Yes. Australia was just getting colour TVs in 2003, the intarwebs came much later.
>>12028648I had dialup until about 2005, that was the norm in Australia for quite a while. We got ADSL, that was still only 2 or 4 mbps and that was a lot faster at the time.
>>12028584i just had norton antivirus, never got infected by any virus because of it. back then antiviruses actually worked and were necessary because viruses aimed to destroy your pc instead of "harmlessly" stole your data.
>>12028716Yeah I used an antivirus, I can't remember which one it was though. I used McAfee for ages, but the one before that idk.
>>12028716That's when hackers were doing it for fun and not for money.
I am playing Earthbound, and i am having fun.Thanks for listening
>try Mother 3>get turned off by the kiddie shit atmosphere>turn off game>years later, try again since it's a "cult classic">get turned off by the kiddie shit atmosphere>turn off gameit keeps happeningi never had this problem with earthbound btw
>>12028179You're just too mature
>>12028182ha ha, very funnyi'll give it a proper chance some day, but the intro sequence has filtered me like three times now
>>12028179for me its the shift from genuinely funny and clever writing to straight up reddit tier humor, the boring generic setting compared to eagleland, the heavy handed attempts at melodrama that come off as pretentious and an annoying battle system that makes you play a really shitty rhythm game to do any kind of decent damage.
>>12028713oh and forgot to mention that terrible intro sequence and awful pacing before you finally start the game about 7 hours in.
SNES or DS version? I hacked my Wii U and kinda wanna use the touch screen.
>>12028209It created a plothole since no one talked like that and he didn't sound like that when he was younger so where'd he get it from?
>>12028358I always thought he was putting on an affectation that he felt would help people take him more seriously despite his goofy froglike appearance. He goes out of his way to speak in an extremely formal "knightly" way out of insecurity.
>>12028073>There are *some* configuration optoins for how to deal with the multiple screens and screen filters, but we're miles away from what Retroarch offers in that regard.It's been a long time since I did DS injection but I remember using a custom archive done by the community with 20+ additional screen options. It covered pretty much everything, even for tate mode. I got it from gbatemp, might want to look into that if you're doing injections.
>>12028209Because they're FUCKING stupid and don't understand why Chrono Trigger is an all time classic.
>>12028654It's clearly Woolsey replicating the success of Cyan (which, BTW, was a *fantastic* translation choice since that character supposed to be an old-fashioned, samurai retainer -- funny how well that fit his vibe).It's kind of like Woolsey had FFVI fresh off his mind when he hit that part of the script early on and thought, "oh, he's the queen's retainer, I'll have him sound similar." Frog, despite his insecurities that he overcomes, is SUPPOSED to sound direct and a little crass. Take good note of his cocky victory sprite, and tell me that fits the downright fussy Cyan "''twas most improper!" Garamonde archtype.
>2025>still hasnt been stopped
I'm going to offer Robot Pit. Nothing crazy but a solid early title about building robots and fighting with them that is lesser known.>>12027827The soundtrack to that game is really good. Sadly nobody played it because lmao tomb raider. I like this tune myself for nostalgia reasons and it isn't even the best on in the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y9nwXIL5TU
>>12027992I remember the sequel to this coming out in Europe ridiculously late, like in 2003 when it originally came out in Japan in 1997 or earlier.
>>12027992Hell yeah it's underrated
These games were badass
you tripping balls
>>12028528The SOCOM games after SOCOM 3 weren't all that great

>>12027753It's the same game though
>>12027753Mouse controls are a suitable substitude for soul.

>>12028598I like to slap anime girls.
What's your favorite Pokémon from the original 151?
Saw it as a kid and have liked it since, it's so symmetrical and it has a pretty gem stone.
>>12021272This."Trade Pokemon are a scam" is 100% something only people who didn't play Pokemon in its prime say. Unless you were a homeschooled kid in the Bible Belt, there was always some kid with a link cable at school, in your neighborhood, or at the mall for you to trade with.
>>12020271>Had Blue version>Bugged my folks to take me to KFC when they were doing Pokemon toys>Get the fake trading cards they were putting out>See Scyther>"Who the fuck is this fake Pokemon???"
>>12028487Nobody in my school at my age or my brother's had a link cable. Only person I knew with one was a rich kid that had two gameboys and red and blue for himself. I wasn't allowed to bring my game to his house because my mom didn't want me to lose it. He did show me the cinnabar glitch though so that was pretty cool.
>>12028527That in no way refutes what he said. You knew a kid with a link cable, period. Most of us weren't allowed to bring our games to school, but we did it anyway. My best friend and I met in 6th grade because he was part of the Mew Train we had going on at our school.
Is Crash Team Racing the greatest retro racing game ever made?
>>12027032My cousin was absolutlely convinced as a kid that N. Gin's voice clip was "One fuckin' road!"
>>12025429i guess but those boost mechanics are silly to the point of feeling like you're not even racing anymore. i'd rather focus on smooth lines and feel realistic weight and control than have to constantly drift/bunny hop to max my boost. there comes a point with these games where it's just not fun anymore, it's made to be casual.
>>12028354I can hear it, yeah
>>12028354is "one for the road" an incomprehensible phrase for ESLs?
>>12028580He was 6, not brown.
A different era
>>12021176a rough transition to chris chan
>>12025106its cuz the gays ruined the rainbow
>>12021158>elephant sonic is a cartoon hedgehog though
>>12021475that road is kinda weird, makes me imagine a giant sphere made out of asphalt
>>12022097Probably.

>>12028242Crossed Swords
>>12025751>what are the best first person slashers? Mostly just Dark Messiah if you're limiting it to 7th gen first person games. Jedi Outcast 1 + 2, Jedi Academy, Rune, Severance, these aren't firstperson but the melee is still fun.
>>12025751The Elder Scrolls series definitely have a lot of entries here, Daggerfall is probably the first that springs to mind as a genuine 'slasher' (i.e. you actually have to slash with the mouse to do melee damage).Also - it's not the core mechanic, but Thief does a similar thing with swords.Hexen and Hexen II sort of count? You can definitely melee it up amidst magic and the classes that rely more on ranged weapons.Ultima Underworld should probably also get a mention.Maybe Jedi Knight if you play lightsaber in first person?

Why did this manage to become a cult classic despite both Dark Seed 1 and 2 being janky shit? Did Dreamers Guild salvage it from Cyberdreams?
The novel the game is based on is a classic which won awards, so that definitely helped. The game also vastly expanded on the story with help of the original author. It tackles heavy subjects and its theme is very dark with no happy end, at least for the main characters. The good ending itself is very hard to achieve and even if you manage to get it you basically have to wait around 500 years for Earth to become habitable again.tl;dr it's bleak and depressing shit.
>Dark seed 1>shitDark seed 1 is actually pretty good, 2 is pretty garbage thoughNo mouth has some jank, but ultimately the general consensus is that it's good
Does it really deserves to be called the best game of all time?
>>12027720She looked ok when I found her. May I ask what these stones want from me? It just says it senses that spirits are nearby and that maybe I could do 'something' to get them to appear.
>>12011818OoT (and aonumaslop in general) is anti player, it's not gaming perfection, it's gaming poison.
It's not even the best Zelda game or the best N64 game.
>>12028003Exactly.
I'll take Metal gear solid 1 or 2, or ncaa 2006 on xbox.
How long do you think it would take to beat every game ever released on Virtual Console?
Virtua Console was great. I played Zelda II on my Wii when I was 13yo. Without I wouldn't troon out as a Zelda fag.
There were 660 VC games released in Japan. I'm assuming the other regions don't have things not released in Japan but that could be wrong.Honestly even assuming that skill is not an issue and that you can beat something like Adventure Island, it'd probably take at least 3 years even if you play 24/7
>>12028406For you? An infinite number of lifetimes. Not even accounting for tidepods.
Do you think Sega 32x and Sega CD exclusives would have fared better as Sega Saturn games?
From 32X to Saturn... Sega was the dudeweedbruh platform. Their shit was not that good but it was experimental and fun enough if you high as a kite.Volume IV is going to be about 32X and drugs.
>>12028347People that bought a 32x would be furious
>>12028442Yup. I owned a 32X and I would have sent Sega a strongly worded letter telling them to stop.
>>12026751Sega cd good. Sega 32x should have never existed
>>12026751>>12028151
