Why were retro mobile games so fucking soulful?
>>12197484I only remember Paid to Kill. It was similar to Metal Gear on NES
>>12197484I wonder what game this thread is about
>>12197484What a shitty ass example of a zoomer meme.How about showcasing screenshots of what actually makes whatever this image is talking about so great instead of random ass pictures that mean nothing to anyone who's not brainrotted?
>>12197484They were by and large awful, you were just young and the novelty of having a mobile phone was incredibly potent at the time.
>>12197623>they were Le bad!!!you never played them you faggot, and neither OPoser did too
the only game anyone ever played on that phone was snake
>>12197623Postal Gals was pretty good
they were all terrible. they just seem "soulful" to you because you are a retarded gaijin zoomer who never actually played them.
>>12197484Literally non of mobile SMT has english so i don't care
>>12198895The persona one with 10 lines of dialogue is on english
actual nokia 3310 game
>>12198923Yeah but the one that matters which is the Hazama scenario SMT If... game isn't.
>atlus>four sufferings>eva>untranslated gameso which faggot made a video this time
>>12199510>every thread is made because of a videoYoutuber derangement Syndrome
>>12199565>nobody made a video teeheenobody is watching your faggot video
I bought Modern Warfare 2 on my mom's flip phone. Game was like $20 and had three levels.
>>12199510I've never watched this guy but I listen to a shitton of SMT music regularly, pops up in recommended regularly. >>12199565How does it feel to be BTFO?
God I hate fatlus fags, just play Wizardry instead of its gay weeb clone
>>12200047Wizardry is okay but Atlus's non retro dungeon crawler Etrian Odyssey is 10000 times better
>>12200073EO is just yet another weeb wizardry clone with filler and dumbed down shit
>>12200264>dumbed downIt's more complex than wizardry, not that being more complex than wizardry is hard, you just need to make fighters more than just retards that can only perform normal attacks
>>12200452>muh complexityIt's all filler time waster trash, the most fundamental part of Wizardry is missing your party and rng stakes, can't have those in your gay ass modern weeb game.
>>12200482Nobody actually wants that, sounds like you never played Wizardry
>>12197631this
>>12197623thisWAP was shit too
>>12200632>no one wants permadeaths and real dice rolls in a rpgThis is what retarded weebs like you actually believe, god jarpigs are a disgrace
>>12201804>muh jrpgsAs if wrpg have permadeath, in fact wrpgs are way less punishing than your average retro jrpg as they allow you to rest and save anywhere
>>12201818>As if wrpg have permadeathWizardry and roguelikes do, now go cope with your pussyfied weeb clones for pedos failing to beat a 30 yo game
>>12201838I think you're failing to understand it doesn't add anything of value to the game besides wasting the player's time.
>>12202456You're too retarded to get it anon, Wizardry and rougelikes aren't some +100 hours long time wasters jarpig, you can finish those games in a few hpurs if you are good enough. You're too much of a weeb pussy to handle real games tho.
>>12202480You don't even understand how roguelikes work, they are supposed to be +100 games that incentive multiple playthroughs by default, and what you call "permadeath" is here to make you start over with NEW/RANDOM content, it actually has a function.Wizardry however is not a rogouelike and the whole permadeath shit is just there to be a time wasting mechanic to make the game longer.And yes I beat Wizardry is a short game, and that's why I say the permadeath mechanics adds nothing.
>>12203091>they are supposed to be +100 gamesNo roguelike is +100 hours a run you retarded fuck, otherwise they'd just be bloated jarpig trash.>Wizardry however is not a roguelikeRoguelike is just a RPG subgenre, and Wizardry has plenty of rng and customization elements to keep things fresh for a while, it has real dice rolls and more erratic encounters and mechanics than your weeb garbage. "Permadeath" wasn't even exclusive to roguelikes, it was a common in most games from the 70s/80s, you're supposed to start fresh after dying. What jarpigs and modern gaming did was trivialize death while bloating games with meaningless content, and low iq retards like you totally bought into it.
>>12200042It hurts my ass
>>12200042Lol. I see western insect söytubers have finally “discovered” garakei games and are now farming keitai wiki for content. This is why we need gatekeeping.
>>12203135If a rogouelike doesn't has 100+ hours of gameplay then it's a fucking failure of a rogouelike.>Wizardry has plenty of customization elementsYou obviously never played Wizardry or a game with actual customization
>>12203257The average roguelike is like 10 hours long a run you retarded cunt>You obviously never played WizardySaid the weeb shitter coping with a pedo game because a Wizardry filtered him, bet you used save-states too and pretended you "beat" the game you fucking shitter.
>>12203320Yes a single run dumbass, now count actual play time>>12203320How the fuck did it filter if I won the game? I'm not even saying it's a bad game but pretending it has customization is retarded
>>12203330>single run dumbassNot an excuse, jarpigs trash are 100 hours for a single run, they are a boring slog and you never touch them again after clearing unless you are autistic >le customizationWizardry allows more customization than the average jarpig with fixed parties and characters, dumbass shitter. Fatlus just happens to be one of the few that tries to make a decent Wizardry clone and even then they fail with piss easy gameplay and bloated length>I won the gameNo you didn't you pathetic save-state shitter
>>12197529This is a pro LGBTQIA board. Take your homophobia back to /v./. >>>/v/>>>/tv/>>>/b/>>>/ck/ Pick a board and FUCK OFF.
>>12203371I don't know why you are so mad about games giving you more play time.>Wizardry allows more customization than the average jarpig with fixed parties and charactersFF7 alone has more customization than Wizardry and I think that's an overrated piece of shit too.Yes the number 1 is higher than 0 but it's still nothing compared to 10, again Wizardry isn't as "customizable" as you make it out to be, you would know this if you had played the fucking game.
>>12203429>I don't know why you are so mad about games giving you more play timeNot as mad a you seething over real rpgs having real deaths, pathetic shitter. You can cope all you want with your bloat content, it's still garbage if it allows you to save every 5 minutes, this shit killed gaming.
>>12203459I'm just saying it's pointless in Wizardry, in games like rogouelikes and Fire Emblem it actually makes sense but in Wizardry it is just kinda pointless feature copied from DnD, oh no someone failed to revive? Time to fuck up Murphy's ghost for a while.>it's still garbage if it allows you to save every 5 minutesYeah that's mainly wrpgs, jrpgs you seethe so much over generally have savepoints and you can't savescum battles.
>>12203481>it's pointless because it filters meNot how it works.>Fire emblemIt's just a silly jarpig, you can just load your previous file, not mention later games got rid of it.>that's mainly wrpgs, jrpgs you seethe so much over generally have savepoints and you can't savescum battlesIt's the same silly shit, actually it's more dangerous in wrpgs because you can save in a risky situation, no such thing in casual jarpigsUltima might've contribuited in ruining rpgs but Dragon quest was the nail in the coffin.
>>12203528>think it's pointless =/= filteredLiterally beat the game, what's next? you are going to praise the double tapping in Cotm?>, you can just load your previous file, not mention later games got rid of it.Yeah you know what other series did that? Wizardry>It's the same silly shit, actually it's more dangerous in wrpgs because you can save in a risky situationWell that's entirely on you for being a massive retard and only using 1 saveslot when the vast majority of these games even have a quicksave button that's a different save from your main save so you don't fuck it up, if this ever happened to you then you have double digit IQ>Dragon QuestLiterally a game where resource management matters more than the average, "rest anywhere and be completely healed" wrpgs.
>>12203552>beat the gameYou didn't, you used save-states, until then you are a pathetic mega shitter, worse than not touching the game at all.>CotmSorry I don't speak tranny>Wizardry did itOnly the late games that weren't even made by the same guys>just make 20 save files broShitter sure knows how to cheat.>piggy really trying to defend baby's first jarpigWhy am I not surprised?
This is the single worst thread I've ever seen on this godforsaken board.
>>12203596>you used savestatesSounds like projecting, why you keep insisting this? Can't believe someone can beat a short game like Wizardry 1 without savestates?>Only the late games that weren't even made by the same guysAgree, Wizardry 6-8 sucked ass>>just make 20 save files bro>Shitter sure knows how to cheat.How is it cheating if the game literally allows you to do so?>just seething about jrpgs againIt's a shame your autism won't let you enjoy both
>>12204535>why you keep insisting this?maybe because you're so incredibly anal about it? If permadeath wasn't such a big deal you wouldn't whine like a bitch about it.>enjoy bothLeave japs the action games, they can't make real rpgs for shit
>>12197629most of them were bad, and OP never posted a nokia atlus game.
>>12199465good game but not atlus.>>12200042>Last Bible 2thanks, i still have not played much of it on my GBC emu. i thought there was a GBA version too?
>>12199510>pretending not to know
>>12197631>>12198884>What is gameloft kino>Anything that's not a gayboi is automatically shitYup, tendo gaujins seething at based euros again.>>12200073>>12200264Lol at the war/jarpig burgers aruging over basic ahh dungeon crawlers that play exactly the same as all of them. I can see why germoid and russian devs laugh at you two. THIS, is what real mobile rpg kino looks like.
>>12205605Not j2me, but see how much effort went into this compared to even ds rpg's? Mobile fuckin nutted on handhelds.
Another eurorpg that makes war and jarpig burgers squirt anal liquid. Based on a movie but entrusted to a bVASED french studio
>>12205617>Checks devYup! Another winner for euros
>Real time combat>Choice and consequence>Multiple endings>Platform: J2meSneedc fags only had nu might and magic. Keksole fags had tales of. Mobilechads had everything.
Gon take a break from bullying burger and ricecake rpg fans for a sec. People in this thread reironiclly think resident evil ds or 3 emulated on psp is better than zombie infection. The iphone version? Sure. But the original feature phone? Fuck outta here.
>Nothing but nonstop metroidvanias from konami on tendo handhelds.>Indies copied that shit bcuz, sympathy of the night was leh based or some shit>Gameloft makes a classicvania while including the ONE good thing the metroidgoynias introduced >Better than even circle of the moon. >Better than any indieshit metroidslopniasHow the FUCK did they do it? Gameloft couldn't be fucking touched in the java days.
>>12205605>>12205616>>12205617>>12205620>>12205627>>12205641>>12205648All these game very likely play like shit but I can respect the ambition of wanting to make actual games for phones instead of waifucollector#102 or pay2winonlinemultiplayer#108
>>12205668stop samefagging, euro racist supremist.
>>12205668They don't and pre android mobile gayming wasn't gay. I don't mention iphonr because early paid ios games were just beefed up brew games. Think of brew as another platform along with Symbian which is nokia, Imode which is jap, J2me which is java.
>>12197623>you were just young and the novelty of having a mobile phone was incredibly potent at the timeBold of you to assume OP was even around for pre-iPhone mobile games
>>12197484I have literally never met anyone who played mobile games in the flip phone sense, and I was in elementary school in the early 2000's during the peak mobile game era so I was actually there for them. Kids never played them because most stuff on the GBA was a better time, and adults never played them because adults didn't play vidya in general at the time. I never figured out who actually bought these, the most you'd see is people playing the demos that came with their phones once or twice.
>>12206630How many kids have phones? Nowadays every kid but back then it was different only adults would have phones, you should know this if you were in elementary back in the 00's, only people that actually needed phones had them back then.
>>12199465You need more?
Does anyone here played a silent hill clone called "Nowhere"?https://youtu.be/fklM2nAxOdo
>>12205331>Last Bible 2Shinyaku Last Bible is not the same series.
>>12200042Tldw?
bro imagine taking fucking bidya so seriously you get mad at people online for not agreeing with you that's some redditnigger shit
>>12197484>Why were retro mobile games so fucking soulful?It was a brave new world uninhibited by console censorship and QA policies. Brand new studios hoping to make a name for themselves set out to make actual games as best they could with art direction and game design. Unfortunately the market for mobile games was not the like the market for console games and eventually the industry would find its footing with ultra casual slop with near constant MTX spending. Apple tried to undo some of the damage they were responsible for by hiring real game devs and funding their entire development to get real games for apple arcade, but it didn't work. Gamers don't want to play on mobile and mobile gamers don't want gameplay, they want time wasting and gambling.
>>12205648>Gameloft couldn't be fucking touched in the java days.It always bothered me that we were stuck with J2ME. Like the hardware in these phones was decent, I always wanted to know what they could do when not doing JIT and passing everything through a generic display API not optimised for anything. I kind of got my answer with DoCoMo where in Japan they'd make games just for specific handsets using something closer to the metal.Hell, I remember being incredibly disappointed the day I found out that the first model of the RAZR had a display chip by nvidia but all the 3D acceleration was dormant because all you could run on it was J2ME software rendering.
>>12210042I will summarize the game for you, don’t read if you’re playing to play it for yourself> this game assumes you finished the first game> things play out like last time… for short minutes> shit goes out the window the moment you hear a shitty pixelated version of “twinkle twinkle little star” .. you can hear it at very last second of the trailer on Steam> a demon named “The Piper” eats your sister, parents and whatever child he comes across, completely different of how shit was handled in all Last Bible games so far> a goddess shows up early with the player, she starts nice at first but loses her shit the more evil she witnesses> she decided at one point to choose the Piper himself as worthy and fuses with him resulting Metatron…for some reason> Arangel Michael from the previous game - with all his memories intact- didn’t have any of it and still loyal to the old god> your ass go to the moon to take down the fused Metatron with the help of Michael … kinda> fucking end of Evangelion soundtrack plays when you fight the final boss, how they survived a copyright claim is beyond me> if you lose, the music will continue playing with the only English text in the entire fucking game displays on screen> if you win, a quick event suggests “we will meet again in the Third and final game”> you get the choice to kill the Piper or spare him> here is a post game content if you are insaneI had a 7 hours long trip and had to watch something
>>12200042>>12199565>>12197484It's cute how this place is more a slave to what goes on youtube than /v/ is.
>>12200042youtube videos always invite the normiest of faggots
>>12211819>>12212489As if you guys don't watch youtube
I got an Ngage recently, anyone wanna see it?
>>12203382You are severely retarded
