Who thought this made sense?
>many "classics" for "adults" such as Resident Evil 2 and Symphony of the Night are just as easy
Explain this discrepancy
Why did the Japanese never tried to make one of their own?
I think it's one of the best and most fun genres of videogames but it seems people only give a fuck about it during the 5th gen and very early 6th gen
Post memories, pics, share the emotions of a distant past world where being able to take digital pictures was new and exciting.
Have you bought any arcade hardware recently or at all?
I always thought Rise of the Triad would make sense on 32X. It's in that sweet spot where if Doom Resurrection is possible in hi res mode at a decent framerate, ROTT should run even better. Besides that, and finishing all the unfinished prototypes, Sonic Mania would be an awesome get. If not, then an original Sonic made using the Chaotix assets but with good level design, more badniks & no rubberband.
I just don't get it. What's the point? How are you supposed to know? Is it just a cheap gotcha that you reload and then avoid them? Is there some cheese method I'm supposed to know to kill them? It just really annoys me how unbalanced the damage of random trash mobs can be.
>it was all a dream
>shyguy, ninji, bob-omb, pokey, birdo, and other enemies appear in later mario games

The real heroes of this thread keep delivering
I have never played Sonic games in my 30 years being on this accursed planet, yet I'm actually very curious.
It's so over Crocbros
This thread is dedicated to the discussion of any classic games made by Blizzard Entertainment; those being every game released from their early days as Silicon & Synapse to the release of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (2003). Fans of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and even older series like The Lost Vikings, Rock N' Roll Racing and Blackthorne are all welcome here.
For a short history of Blizzard and a list of all their games, check out this wiki:

Relax, talk and play. Let's have a good thread.
Never played pic related but I heard good things about it.
How autistic do you have to be to get into it and how steep is the learning curve?
Medabots AX was great and i thought there was a lot of potential like if they made a sequel they could have really built on it and added more
it's basically like Smash Bros but custom weapons
now recently i finished Thief Deadly Shadows (best Thief game btw) and found out it was developed by the same people who made IW so i said why the hell not and let's give the infamous Deus Ex game a try to see how it like then unistall it once my curiousity is satisfied but i ended up hooked this game is actually good, obviously not close to HR or MD level of good and certainly not in the same level of the best WRPG if it's era (VTMB) but it's better than the overrated original Deus Ex
Invisible War? more like Invisible Kino
fuck all of the nostalgia blinded posers and pseuds treating Deus Ex as the messiah of gaming while shitting on it's superior sequel, i now will have to check many other overhated games i skipped over because the ''fanbase'' said it's shit
if anyone else never got to play Invisible Kino due to similar reasons of mine then i implore you to reconsider, PS: make sure to install Visible Upgrade patch
What y2k games do you like?

DOA: Ultimate, 3, 4, Xtreme 1 & 2
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Double Agent V1 & V2
Ninja Gaiden: OG & 2 (Black is too fucking expensive, will eventually play it when Xemu no longer sucks ass)
Burnout 3 Takedown & Revenge
Maybe a few others I can't think of right now.
Xemu is slowly improving over time but currently still finnicky as hell and as far as 360 goes Xenia is still dogshit and it seems a long way into the future before we'll get XB360 emulation as stable as PCSX2 or Dolphin.
I've done a bit of research and it seems there is no ideal all-in-one xbox system to get because the backwards compatibility is flawed on all the later xbox systems with some of those titles.
Seems the best thing to do would be to try and find a good deal on an OG xbox (because that's the system which has the most games I want to play) and wait for decent 360 emulation for those few 360 titles or just don't get anything and wait for better xbox emulation in general.
I like the idea of being able to get a good used deal on one and I've always liked collecting games and having physical copies of things.
However I also like being able to DL and play them for free as well as not having an extra console taking up space on my entertainment unit which I'll end up getting no more than 20 games for.
Initial impressions from a few hours of TR4:
>Nice that you can uncap the framerate in classic mode now (not sure why you'd want it in the first place) although its still not completely smooth as Remastered Mode. I think the camera might still move at 30fps or something odd like that.
>Lighting is much more faithful this time around in Remastered Mode.
>Can't remap controls for some reason. Don't like how Quick Save and Quick Load need a button combo now instead of thumbstick clicks.
>Young Lara has cleavage covered up, which is more faithful to the original FMV model but not the original game model. Already a mod for it regardless.
Pleased with it so far. Anyone tried Angel of Darkness?

Ever since i've read the "Squall is Dead and everything is a before death dream" theory i can't play past disc 1.
The dev even said that it plans to make it canon in a future remake.
I love this stupid-looking sword.

Prove me wrong.
Mine was Zelda TP. I grew up around Zelda (LTTP onwards) but never really invested in the series. Then I got a cheap gamecube, picked up WW and loved it. I waited and waited until TP came out. Checked for news about the game daily. Thought the early screens looked great. Never had been hyped like this before. Then it came out and it sucked.
Lots of people complain about the slow start. I didn’t mind that. For me, it was the empty over world, shitty dungeons and bosses, and the lame items, oh the lame items. A spinning top, gay. I never finished it, I think I got to the yeti and never went back.
What a pile of shit. I don’t think I ever got hyped for a game like that again. I also don’t think the series has ever really recovered since TP too.
Anyways, whaat was yours, /vr/?
>No English patch

and now I proceed to use google translate over my phone to translate menu moon runes
Bison has pretty bitchin' moves in a series that has a lot of generic fireballs, but I think he didn't really hit that peak of being "intimidating" till the Alpha series especially "Final Bison". Shao Kahn, has kinda generic moves aside from his hammer, but he's always been extremely badass and alpha male with a sick design.
I am already 30 missions in, but I honestly don't know how ranged weapons work in this game. Sometimes I can attack when I am 4 tiles away, sometimes it just doesn't work.
Walking to a certain distance away from the enemy doesn't necessarily allow me to shoot, but on the next turn I can when nothing has changed.
I know the difference between anto-ground and anti-flying, so it's not about that.
>decent difficulty. Not too hard but not pushovers either
>good soundtrack
This and Castlevania 64 are actually good games. Why are they hated so much? They are pretty much what a 3D Castlevania game should play like. Were people filtered that badly by the camera and controls?
it got me thinking they were meant to be the same stages just set in different seasons.
maybe Bob-Omb Battlefield II, Whomps Fortress II and Jolly Roger Bay II would be set at night, while Cool-Cool Mountain II would have clear weather without any presence of a harsh winter's snow and the Bob-Omb Battlefield music to go with the seasonal change.
Are consoles such as og xbox or ps2 any better for watching DVD movies than a dedicated DVD player in terms of image quality and such? My DVD player also has component and SCART outputs and from what I have seen from the reviews, also pretty nice picture quality.

A normal human can carry maybe 10 potions and it would still be challening to fight with it and walk huge distances.
Not only do they carry thousands of fucking objects, they also travel half the world and fight non-stop.
It's not fucking realistic.
Mission 4 (defend the ship) is where I always lose 2-3 continues, what a pain of a mission
Not that I mind though, fun game

Any of the installments. I'm glad Moonlight Museum and Klonoa Heroes are now translated in English.
Wahoo.
Blow it up again

... was this game even any good or was the only memorable thing about it the commercials? People always seem to remember those but not the game.
I have been trying to find videos about it
I can't help it...

also 64 romhack general, what are your favs?
