What is your personal stance on using guides, specially on /vr/ games?
I think is OK, I mean. You don't look down on someone for using a cookbook to make a meal.
Only if I own it physically.

I try to play as blindly as possible but if I get stuck for over 15 minutes I'll usually resort to one.
I don't have dozens of hours to blow on games anymore so I use them when I start getting frustrated.

who?
>>3230009
Those aren't intros. Just the shit before/after the menu. Usually a condensed version of the actual intro.
>>3230015

>The cartridge/label shows obvious signs of tampering.
>Obviously technically impossible stuff, such as games that delete themselves in such a way that you can't recover them, or games with "perfect" copy protection. (Such as Killswitch, which is both.) This includes older games having graphics/sound/visual effects beyond the system's technical limitations.

That game would actually be creepy as fuckif it was just a generic mascot

No I don't think it's haunted. My DoA Xtreme Beach Volleyball does that too.
How come dungeon crawlers, a genre born in the west and so immensely popular in the 80s and early 90s fell into obscurity and is basically dead nowadays while it thrives in Japan of all places? It just boggles my mind how one of the forefathers of the genre, Wizardry, is a Japanese property now.
>>3240720
They evolved into things like Elder Scrolls. Japan likes clinging to the past when it comes to video games.
>>3240771
I kinda wish Square would cling to the past in ways beyond ps1 era fanservice.
I much prefer the their older turn based games to how they're trying to make their new FFs Kingdom Hearts style ARPGs.

Then turn your sights to handhelds
So, I never actually beat Sonic 2. I'm gonna play it, but I just realized something.
You can disable Tails being in the game, which would make special stages WAAAY easier, but I feel like I shouldn't because it's supposed to impose a challenge.
What should I do?
>>3240471
>You can disable Tails being in the game, which would make special stages WAAAY easier
How so? I didn't think Tails can take damage and cost you rings. If anything, I thought playing WITH Tails makes it easier because he can help you collect rings you miss.
>>3240484
I just remember losing rings because of him. Pretty sure he can help you lose them, but he can also collect them.
>>3240484
he collects the rings you miss because his reactions are slightly delayed compared to sonic's.
same way he gets rings is the same way he gets hit, often. bomb groups are way harder to avoid due to precise timing
Is it just me or is this game a bit overrated?
>Clunky combat, not allowed to just run away, it's always just a series of baby-steps until you can make your way off the screen
>Ugly graphics, everything looks the same, small interiors are basically a mess as only a small section of the wall goes invisible to show what's happening
>No quest screen of any sort, you need a guide to know where to go for even the simplest quest (case in point, whiskey bob)

I didn't even realize Fallout 2 had a time limit. I looked it up and it's something like 13 in game years. It definitely doesn't force you to rush.
I've heard Fallout 1 has a pretty bad timer but I haven't played it.
I don't mind criticizing Fallout 1 or 2 but you're ruining your case.
Having to move away instead of pushing a flee button with a random chance on escaping or getting attacked isn't that bad.
There is a quest screen. It's kind of broken like many other parts of the game but it exists. Most games before that time didn't even have that much.
Fallout 2 has no practical time limit.

Seems to me like you're just assmad that people like stuff you don't like. You don't have to call people contrarian faggots because they literally enjoy something that you don't. Chill out nigger.

Nice shill thread.
I've had a copy on my Dreamcast for over a decade.
>>3238669
>Nice shill thread.
because pointing out a retro game is getting an online port makes a shill.
how the fuck do you faggots talk about anything if all you're gonna do is cry shill every time someone brings something up

Based on past experience with other games, it's probably going to be pretty lonely online

Am I the only person who thinks this game is really difficult? I just started playing it about an hour ago and I'm having trouble playing it.
>>3238503
yeah its hard... my dick that is for Shantae.
>>3238516
Hey we're talking about the game here! No funny penis business.
>>3238503
It was hard, yes, and I remember not liking it because there was a lot of cheap hits. It was a combination of the screen being too zoomed in and having to be very precise with how you whip enemies. I remember some harpies fucking me up pretty bad, and other things that just approach at a weird angle where you can't hit them properly without taking some hits a lot of the time. I played it like 6 years ago so I don't remember specifics but I didn't like it, I remember that. I played Risky's Revenge...

What is the hardest NES/Famicom game that isn't shit?
Pic not related.
doom 3
Tower of Druaga
>>3238452
Hardest one I can think of is Wizards & Warriors II: Ironsword. It's pretty much impossible to beat it without either cheating or knowing the game like the back of your hand.
I just played through this beast for the first time and I absolutely loved it. Probably the best FPS I've played. Everything about the setting, the weapons, combat, monsters. It was all so fucking tightly built.
What are the best fan made levels and how do I get them? I need more of this. Immediately.
Look up Malice.
Look for the custom gamer channel on youtube, there are plenty of custom single player maps displayerd there.

Am I the only one that prefers Super Mario Bros. (and its ROM hack sequel in Japan) to the later games?
>>3238084
This game is better.

Bretty gud
One of my top 5 Marios probably
Hello /vr/. I just noticed there's an English patch for Echo Night 2, and I was wondering if it was necessary to play the first one.
http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2380/
I played the PS2 game and, though I don't remember ever finishing it, I do remember enjoying it.
>>3237997
Aren't tehy all stand alone stories?
>>3238168
Well, I have no idea.
In fact when I played the PS2 game I didn't know it was a full series.
All games in the series are standalone, but you should play the first one either way. It's good, and the cruise ship is a very nice haunted house.
