Is this game still enjoyable if I'm almost 40 and have no one to play it with co-op?
>>12072473Yes but the desert area isn't great. Everything else is kino.
>>12072473Yes, I was 45 the first time that I played through it.Also, the PSX version is the most fun. The PS2 and GC versions didn't keep me interested enough to keep playing.
playing games with another human being, whether competitive or co-op, has never improved any gaming experience.if it's not worth playing single-player, its not worth playing.
I was never able to convince any of my faggot friends to play this with me, but when I was 25 I was morbidly obese and I lost 130lbs in a year by playing this on a wall-mounted TV while walking on a treadmill.
>>12072473is it just me or do the different classes play virtually the exact same as each other
>>12072845whats the difference? I played it on ps2 growing up and wondering what version I should nab for a nostalgia bait sesh
>>12072473If you can enjoy something repitive ya. It truely is the best with friends. To this day me and ny cousin will bust it out to make new characters and play through it om the gamecube
>>12073038PS2 is the best version overall.
>>12073150erm no sweetie that would be xbox. you dont even have an inventory on ps2.
>>12073150>>12073191I cant really give an opinion on those two, but i can say the GC version is definitely the worst due to its many glitches. The bosses are all glitched and half the boss items dont work. And whatever item you get 11th will be perminantly locked out from ever using for tbat character due to an inventory glitch that can only be fixed with an actiom replay. Im sure theres at least a dozen other issues. Still some of the best gaming times of my life playing it with my cousins tho
m-mummy!
>>12073202Xbox has the same glitches as gc, ps2 has no problems like this.
>>12073203Impressive mana containers.
>>12073035starting stats are different, abilities are different, super moves are differentthe differences aren't drastic per se but do make a difference in gameplay nonetheless
>>12072473No. Why would you ever play Gauntlet alone?
>>12074107It's a good game and it's fun. You're not fitting in yet by the way.
>>12074126In a related note if anyone wants to play Gauntlet Seven Sorrows on Xbox over Insignia reply to this post
>>12073150N64 actually
>>12072473https://soda-arcade.com/I've seen a lot of people play Gauntlet Legends over the years. I'm pretty sure you'll find some people on here to play this game with desu
>/v/ had a gauntlet thread the other day that hit 300 posts of people talking about how much they loved Gauntlet>/vr/ only has a Gauntlet thread for console war retardation over which port is the least shit 30 years later
>>12074960And people laugh when I say /vr/ is really a retro tech/history board.
I really want to play one of these again. I can't remember if it was the N64 or this PS2 version I co-oped with my neighbor buddy. >mfw whenever the grim reaper would appear and start sucking the life out of us
>>1207496080% of /v/ is polbait or coombait or sales figure trash threads but the minority of threads where people actually discuss vidya is much higher quality than this place for sure. im so fucking sick of the console warrior retards, no one fucking cares about your epic brand allegiance and they cant help but shit up EVERY FUCKING THREAD
>>12075980I have to agree. Niggas need to let go out 20+ year hardware debates
>>12075031The funny thingnis the amount of health he takes is literally nothing by the time you finish the first realm. Which is clearly why they added the level draining one.
were there ever any arcade exclusive gauntlet games? it's kind of a shame we only ever got 2 really great games in the series on consoles.
>>12076632Not exclusive exactly but the arcade versions of Legends and Dark Legacy differ pretty heavily from the console releases. Thr arcsde version of DL for example has different level layouts and a totally different progression system (no hub, you can play any world in the order you want).
>>12076639is there any decent emulation of them?
POST YOUR COLOR/CLASSBLUE KNIGHT REPRESENT
>>12076647I can't speak to Legends but I played DL on MAME a few years ago and it was great. Getting it to work is a bit of a hassle but that's just typical MAME shenanigans.Honestly though, if you've never played the games before, just start with Gauntlet Legends on the N64 and then play DL on the cube or Xbox. If you've already played them and want the arcade experience then MAME is your only option outside of hunting down a machine.
>>12076687what's wrong with the PS versions?
>>12076672>BLUE KNIGHT REPRESENTMy man. Blue Knight is the thundercock choice.
>>12076687Please avoid the gc version, it runs at half the frame rate. (15 instead of 30.)
>>12076690PS1 Legends is butchered. Worst graphics, reduced enemy count onscreen, easier gameplay in general and no 4 player mode, only 2. N64 version is the original console release and mostly faithful to the arcade version aside from new features like hub world, having an item inventory and some other small changes.DL on PS2 is mostly fine but it's the only console version of DL that doesn't give you an item inventory, has the worst graphics of 6th gen versions and none of the extra items and features from GC/Xbox.
>>12076701It's only 15 in the hub area, gameplay is 29.5
>>12076687I played them back in the day, i've still got my DL case for gamecube but the disk i lost like 16 years ago
>>12076709Feels like shit, and the button combos are all off. Turbo requiring two button presses is so stupid, makes the robotron control scheme feel like shit and the inventory system is crap.
>>12076736Also the broken transparencies make the gamecube version the worst looking one by far.
>he's still goingmuh green jester's weapon trail... muh precisely places and perfect item pickups... ugh, so much soul from top-tier video game developer MIDWAYâ„¢
>>12076738I will 100% take a shitty transparency effect (all the ones you care about like crystals and explosions are fine) over 320x240 field-interlaced vomit.
>>12076736>Turbo requiring two button presses is so stupid,
>>12076740vgh...why can't you just be disaffected like a good nintendo fan....why are you arguing with accurate points and honest flaws...don't you know it's making the ps2 look....good.....>>12076743Tons of broken transparencies. Awful looking. Game runs at the same resolution as PS2. Just be honest, you're a retarded fanboy and that's why you're on 4chan because you want to be around other likeminded fanboys.
>>12076751>Just be honest, you're a retarded fanboyoh the irony
>>12076760>everyone who disagrees with me is a fanboy>no I won't look at the evidence or even admit they're flaws. Now use the broken inventory, bigot.This conversation is going places.
>>12076701>direct port of an N64 game with models made of 27 polygons can't even hold a steady 30FPS on the Emotion Engineâ„¢Maybe it's just a bad game regardless of whether you need a Multitap for 4-way or not.
>>12076780PS2 version has no problem with framerate.
Can somebody explain the MAME thing to me, last time i used it was in like 2002 to play dig dug. you're telling me it can emulate 3d games like Gauntlet Dark Legacy now too? the same emulator?>>12076763you're just shitting up the thread with your raging retard, nobody cares.
>>12076239lol I probably never paid attention to how much he was stealing. I just always panicked when he turned up.Is he in all of these games?
>>12076835MAME is the biggest fucking piece of dogshit ever, it never fucking works, or if it does work you need to unzip like 100 different fucking files for it work
>>12076860weird, i remember downloading some zip with MAME and like 200 arcade classics in maybe 2002 and playing them with no fiddling with settings at all. that's the only experience i have with the emulator. i always just assumed it was for older arcade emulation
>>12073150I do like how every single version has something wrong with it
>>12072845>>12073038>>12073150>>12073191Pretty sure Every console back then had a port
>>12074656Gauntlet Dark Legacy never had an N64 port.
>>12072473So many great memories of me and my buddy grinding levels in this game. Play it anon, it's fun.
>>12076672Yellow Dwarf
>>12072919Based
>>12076850Yes but him taking 100 health was a much bigger dealmin the arcade wherr your health ticked down at all times to force you to feed it coins.
>>12076860Thats really a small minority of games and you cant blame MAME for arcade games having wildly different infaatructure between companies and boards
>>12072912most autistic post I’ve seen today
>>12077050>Red Dwarf
>>12072473No, after 35-36 it no longer provides entertainment. 37.5 in edge cases
