>Panzer Dragoon Zwei (honorable mention to the music from PD1)
the music is so good, the characters are very distinct, the story is literal insanity blowing my mind watching the northern crater fuckery go down, tifa and cloud exploring cloud's mind in this abstract as shit segment
never something I would have expected from an rpg from the 90s
and the gameplay is this great tried and true lego playset snapping orbs from one character to the next messing around constantly experimenting
so much side content too with meaningful rewards
this shit? GOOD
protagonist was in a damn wheelchair and still captivated me more than most other game characters
It has a good variety of levels, an ok story, good combat and cool guns.
But WOW did cliffy b FUCK IT UP that fag was OBSESSED with GREEN! Seriously who the fuck gave the OK to put green water acid with green lights in a green room with green enemies and green projectiles? Ok no one actually used the shitty bio rifle so I'll give that one a pass but come on man this game is as obsessed with green as Blood was with brown it's absolutely ridiculous.
Now the music, I had to turn it off and put on something else, occasionally it's got some acceptable enough sounding orchestral type music but good lord the gay nightclub techno bullshit you hear through out 99% of the game is so bad easily one of the worst in gaming they could have gotten some rock music in there to make you feel badass while you gun down those alien bastards.
Lastly one of the biggest issues with Unreal and it's not exclusive to it but does Cliffy B love his fucking elevators, this fucking game is 50% elevators you go up down up down up and down multiple times in every single level of the game you could almost say it's Unreal how many it has. Plus they are either slow as piss or just plain annoying. Who wants to go up an elevator or worse down one in the middle of a firefight, it's just plain awful! Would it have hurt to put in these things called stairs??? I get it's the future but these alien dudes still raise cows and rabbits and have a handful of stairs in the game.
Anyways this game is alright but FUCK CLIFFY B!
Dunno how many played Lode Runner 3D but I have been playing it and its fun even if hard as shit, would recommend if anyone wants to play a lesser known N64 game.
Also been using Neon64 to play some NES games.
The fan translation group Hilltop Works has announced that it is translating the Japanese-exclusive prologue to Mega Man Legends 2 into English.
If you're a Mega Man Legends fan, you might already be aware that Mega Man Legends 2 has a somewhat unusual name in Japan, being released in the country under the title Rockman Dash 2 - Episode 2: Ōinaru Isan.
This title came about as Japan actually got its own exclusive prologue to the game, which was first distributed as a bonus disc for the Mega Man Legends spin-off Tron ni Kobun (under the title Episode One: Roll-Chan Kiki Ippatsu) before later appearing as part of the 2005 PSP port.
I love stepping on tiny men
Fuck magical crossdressers.
Fuck effeminate swordboys.
And most especially, fuck stupid gay balloons with eyes.
Link is the most fun character to play in Melee, and that's a fucking FACT. This is a hill I'm willing to die on.

Always tricky bastards figuring out how to beat them.
I'll start. Pac-Man RPG. You'd have Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, a ghost that switches sides and joins your team, idk maybe some random alligator party member. Magic powers are charged up by the dots you eat in the overworld. You've got the four ghosts from the first game as the big bads and then the final boss is the four of them combined. Too kino for this world.
>GeForce 256 DDR

In terms of theoretical specs(eg. no OS overhead, games are optimised for the hardware) how good would this setup be compared to Dreamcast/PS2/Gamecube/Xbox?
>"saturn was not built for 3D"
when will this meme end
http://n64vault.wikidot.com/ssb-tools:smash-remix-cut-content
Thoughts?
>Was the Saturn originally intended to be a 2D console? Or a 3D one?
>Sato: To be honest, in the beginning, I wasn’t thinking of 3D capabilities for the Saturn at all. This was partially my fault, but additionally, the game developers at Sega at the time had basically no knowledge of 3D game development. They had all been raised in the environment of 2D sprites and backgrounds, and the only developers who had any real experience with 3D were Yu Suzuki and AM2 with the Virtua series. >Actually, all of the other developers wanted to continue developing using the same system they were used to. If you looked at every single Sega employee within the home console division, there were practically no programmers or designers who had any knowledge of polygon technology.
>I had taken a look at Sega’s development teams at the time and concluded, “It’s going to be impossible for them to do 3D games.”
>I concluded that there was no way Sega’s development assets would be able to do 3D.
>However, the PlayStation completely embraced polygons.
>When we found out about that, we realized we were in trouble.
>Thankfully, the (Saturn) SH-2s could be linked in a cascade connection. A large amount of geometry calculations are required to do polygon graphics, and a single Saturn SH-2 was completely insufficient.
>With all the CPUs in the Saturn, only a tiny fraction of developers at Sega were able to make sense of them all and actually put them to use. For third parties… well, there was no way.
>I’m not sure if you call it a memory, but a regret I have is not going with one of our options to use the arcade system Model 1 as the base for the Saturn.
>We could have gone with 3D polygons with that kind of force.

I live in a studio apartment and am looking for a better approach beyond just tossing them all in a giant plastic tub.
If I see that fucking waterfall one more time...
>Bad enemy design
>More reliant on jumpscares
>Repetitive dungeons
>Weaker atmosphere
>Hastly put together non-sensical plot
>Too hamfisted, subtlety and deeper themes from previous games are gone
People give Silent Hill 4 alot of shit, but 3 isnt too far behind
aka Blood Will Tell on western release. I need the Sylwahan version UNDUB release and cant find it
Bonus points if the combat isn't
Turtles in Time is now perfect.
Wii version is like GameCube version. 640x360... and the widescreen just zoom it.
There was an Aero Fighters cabinet at a bar close to where I went camping as a kid, and I played it every time I went. They also had Capcom Bowling, and that was fun, but the variety of different ships made Aero Fighters more enticing.
Video cutscenes on retail copies work fine.
Anyone else have this issue? Do you use a different DVD brand or burner?
The lack of an item box and having to command a second character makes the game more busy, which after playing REmake on autopilot for years, is a nice change of pace, and it's sort of why I suspect people who only ever play Jill in RE1 with her 8 inventory slots instead of suffering as Chris with his 6.
Really, my only problem was how difficult some of the puzzles were, which only were difficult because I'm trying to rush the game and not spending 10 hours on finding a single solution. (For example the animal puzzle I'm sure I could have figured out if I gave it a good crack)
Sega had sold probably something between 4,5 to 5 million Saturn's in Japan by the time of its released yet it didn't even manage to sell a 100K.

I have no idea what the fuck is going on. I'm using the USA rom from vimm. Fails. I'm using the rom from CDRomance. Fails. I'm using the rom from wowroms. Fails. I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing wrong; can somebody please help me? I want to fucking play this game but this shit keeps failing me no matter what

Try pressing them when the icon overlaps the button, don't work. try to press it slightly after, don't work. Try to do it slightly before but only sometimes works. What's the correct way to play this game? Also no, i'm not emulating, i'm playing on real hardware
Reminder that "beat" means one credit, no continues, and no cheats or rewind/save states or anything like that. Stuff like emulation and autofire is fine of course.
>in the year of our lord 2024
I shiggy diggy
>apparently because they got the usual Japanese complaints that MM1 was too hard since they hate difficult games
MM1 wasn't _that_ bad, I've beaten it a few times (yes with the pause glitch, sue me). Pussies.

Also, the main character has sexy with a big boobed evil Native American girl.

Are we meant to spam weapon swap? It seems like it should be an exploit, but the enemies have an absurd amount of HP on Hard if you don't and just never fucking die and how could you not figure out that weapon swapping does way more damage naturally during play? I'm about to just throw autofire on weapon swap just so I can stomp this kusoge and be done with it.
I got to the room before Ghoma but was walled by the 3 deku scrubs. Tried all possible combinations (I think? I admittedly am bad ar math but I'm sure I tried 231, 312, 321, 123, 213, 132) and none worked. I realized that during all the dungeon, I never came across picrel. Is it not on MQ? Do you need to talk to this guy in order to trigger it to work?
I was running around trying to find this deku scrub in picrel but I got a bit careless and a few bats hit me and then a piranha plant gave me the fatal blow, kek.
>It is one thing to hear/read about how well we are doing in Japan vs. Sony, it's another to personally witness it. | just visited 10 retail stores in Tokyo (most in Akihabra); it's now spring break so the crowds of teens/college kids are huge. We are killing Sony. In every store, Saturn hardware is sold out and there are stacks of Playstation. The retailers commented they can't compare the true sales rate because Saturn sells out before they can measure accurately. Our interactive displays are better, our software displays and stocking far superior. It is not unusual to see 40-50 copies of Panzer Zwei or Virtua Fighter 2 stocked in even small stores and they are selling fast. I wish I could get all our staff, sales people, retailers, analysts, media, etc. to see and understand what's happening in Japan; they would then understand why we will win here in the U.S. eventually. How do we show that at E3? - Tom
It's kinda jank in the combat department, but thankfully the combat's not too demanding, and once you learn to avoid getting stunlocked it's decently serviceable. The atmosphere's great and the puzzles are very reasonable and even satisfying overall; the only one that feels somewhat obtuse was how to deal with the evil tree at the very end of the game. I can definitely see myself replaying it at some point.
Too bad the sequels are so shit.
The arranged soundtrack is super good.
I like playing on extra easy because I’m a gay faggot.
I didn’t like this kind of sunny happy Sega game when I was younger, but now I realize the real world necessitates games like this.
How did they do it?
I just wish they were used for better gameplay.
I've had a look around, but all I can find are retards selling hard drives for 2 grand FULLY LOADED with shitty hyperspin wheels. All I want is a window designed for mouse selection, I want a grid of game box art or whatever I can just point and click on the game I want to play and the bat file will boot up and start the game for me. I don't need the fucking video bloat or eight pages of screenshots to remind me what Time Crisis is about, and I don't want these god awful wheels you have to slowly scroll through to find what you want to fucking play, I've got a big screen, I can fit 50 titles on it and just shoot the one I want to play.
What's your favorite game from the Gooch?
I'm nearing the end of Wise Owl Forest and I wanna know if I should gice Fruits of Eden to the other characters, or should I just pump up Toan
>YOU CAN LOOK BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH

also Gran Turismo 2, Jet Set Radio, and Twisted Metal 4 both had Dragula by Rob Zombie.

>"HOLY SHIT"
not sure to put this in /vr/ or /vrpg/ but they'll probably scream its not an RPG over there.
whats the best machine version to play this on? looks like the Amiga but correct me if I'm wrong.
https://youtu.be/oouUI13Xhcg?feature=shared
it seems to be on some obscure systems like the Thomson.
-reimagining of DK 64
-8 kongs
-300 gold bananas
-pause to enter tag barrel
-select a team of up to two kongs each time
-no loading screens
-DK Isle has 10 interconnected levels
-two multiplayer modes
--Mario Party like game with all the mini-games from the singleplayer campaign
--Diddy Kong Racing like game where you race through tracks that loop through the different levels
Please let me know if it's just the first guy who's particularly bad. I can't find anything about an undub anywhere, so I'll probably put this game off until somebody makes one or my Japanese is good enough.
