Are you serious? At least tell us you played the battle arena with friends.

On topic: FF6. It doesn't hold up the same way 7 and 5 do.

opposite situation for me. as a kid i was shit at this game and couldn't really get anywhere. Now that i know all the cool bomb jumping secrets I managed to 100% it.

>At least tell us you played the battle arena with friends.
Yes.

Now what?
>>
Nah, Bomberman 64 is still as great as I remember.

Now, this is a shit game. Not sure how much of my newfound hate for it is due to it always freezing, or that it fucked up my Xbox Hueg hard drive (I was running an iso of it). I had it on Gamecube as a kid, and I don't remember it freezing and forcing a hard reset every time you ran it.

Now I have to buy another hard drive and redownload all my isos, cause I didn't keep backups. Was the Xbox version just buggy as shit, or did I get a bad dump or something?

I was robbed of a childhood and never really got to play this growing up so to this day I'm oddly still hyped to one day own a SNES and play it.
At least if I don't like the gameplay I know I'll still like the music.
>>
>>334999340

Fuuuck, I was so hyped for this game as it was going to come out, it looked like what would be the only decent RPG for the N64.

The whole thing was a half-polished grind fest from beginning to end. Two words capture my disgust for this game: Blue Caves.

Hold B and press A to start with a bomb in your hands. Far superior to chuck bombs than set them at your feet.

Or was it hold A and press B? Either way, there's subtle ways to improve the base experience.

I can't remember, the last time I played it was five years ago. I just remember playing it and thinking "holy shit, this is so clunky."

>>334999314
I recently played chameleon twist 2 again and its not bad. The tongue controls are weird but once you get the hang of it it's a fun mechanic. The graphics are awful and the levels are generic but it's challenging. Minigames are fun too.

Some Super Duper Sumos for the GBA. It was a lot more boring.

Really dont need to play it twice to know that, but it was pretty fun discovering all the spells, as well as traversing the unpolished desolated and eerie environments.

MP2 has the best gameplay imo, really under-appreciated because the story is weird and confusing.
>>
>>334999340
I remember playing this. I got to the first battle and died. Then I did that twice more. It was my first RPG outside of Pokemon so I guess I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing.

While we're on the subject should I play the first Rayman through or just skip it?

I actually never played it as a child but the newest installments look fun so I got the collection.

But goddamn, the first one feels so awful and tiny too. Like the camera is zoomed in too close.

Any recommendations?

This is why I've only ever played Dragon's Crown and EDF once.

I still have both though. I'm going to force my sister to play the latter with me this summer.

If you don't enjoy it then try Origins.

If this is the one where you have to pump the bombs up I hated that game so fucking much! Fuck that game. Fucking killed Bomberman.

If you haven't already found it, there's a setting to zoom the camera out. I played through the first through levels struggling horribly, then found that setting. It's much less unfair that way.

My favorite level was Area 6. That wasn't as good as I remembered but everything else certainly was the last time I played it.

In terms of content I'd take Melee over the rest of the series but Brawl and 4 really did ramp up the roster quality exponentially.

Honestly my only real gripe with Melee though is that there was no random character selection option yet.

Pokemon gen 2.

Playing HeartGold made me realize how fucked the actual region and progression were. Everyone creams their jeans over following pokemon but the actual problems GSC had were mainly the garbage pokemon distribution and the terrible level scaling and despite all the fun stuff HGSS added it didn't fix those so it's still a chore to play.
Sure there was the pokewalker but you had to grind that to get decent pokemon too. I walked home from school so it wasn't really that much of a problem at the time

Personally the experience for me is largely the same, only difference is I've gotten better because I play a lot.

I don't mind the Sonic/Shadow stages. I enjoyed them and can appreciate them given the time the game was released; the rest of the game, however, is irredeemable trash that servers no fucking purpose but to pad the game out.

Treasure hunting is boring, tedious bullshit with a radar system that doesn't even work. Mech sections are literally hold B to win. The story is retarded deviantart-tier shit before deviantart was even a thing. It's like they ran out of ideas for Sonic/Shadow and decided to cram the came with as much bullshit as possible.

>>335003682
If you hit the little icon in the top-right corner that chooses whether that player is a human or CPU, I believe it cycles through different characters each time it sets to CPU. It's not random in the sense that you don't know who you're up against until the match starts though.

The first Fable game.

I played the remaster or whatever that came out on Steam. And ignoring the issues it had, I was really fucking bored while playing through it. Maybe its not really a game for replaying, but I couldn't get into it again. I think I uninstalled before reaching the prison part.

It is. The level design is boring, and the pokemon clones in the game are not implemented well

>>335013496
Alright, I was confused there for a second.
The level design is good. The movement and controls are more fluid. The bosses overall are certainly more well-designed. It's a mechanically superior game. 64 was good for its time but improvements have been made.
