I hear "seh gah", not "say gah"
What video games do you consider to be overrated and/or have aged poorly, /vr/?
Not even trolling. I loathe this game.
>>3193785
Came in having seen all the praise on the internet, came out empty handed.
+1 on this bore-fest.
What do you guys think of run 'n gun shooters?
They're fun
Best genre, but often feels surprisingly limited in games developed compared to other genres.
Am I the only one who really enjoys top down run n guns?
How come every other SNK game was a fighting game?
They had more non-fighting games than fighting games

Not in any top 50 list.
Hands down, the best 3D retro platform game

Play one game and post your score.

Saw this on Woot, wrote it off as garbage. But then I got to thinking, if the native resolution of the projector is 320 x 240, would it be perfect for retro systems that output around that exact resolution? Anybody have experience with this device in that capacity? It's cheap, but I don't want to buy another piece of junk that's going to take up space. You can't look at reviews because they're evaluating it as a standard projector for modern content (which it's absolutely horrible at)

honestly you'd be better off just finding a second hand CRT with better input options, even a pretty basic one. The picture from that will be pretty weak, you're right though, it'd still be better than a modern lcd tv.
>>3206172
Right I get that CRTs are better, that's why I have two of them. I was just curious about it from the stance of big-screen gaming when friends are over, just point it at the wall so no one can complain about a 27" TV or such. Looking to see if anyone has insight on this before I drop $40, who knows it might have hellacious input latency, even if it's marketed to "gamers"
>>3206156
I got 480p one, its nice for retro games and old TV shows. Brightness is really bad tho, you'll need a dark room
So, yeah, ecks cawm thread.

is the Playstation version ok?
>>3205992
iirc sectopods are vulnerable to lasers? but i dont remember there being gauss weapons in the original, so you are probably on a modded version? at which point who knows if any of the traditional strengths and weaknesses i only half-remember still apply at all
>>3205992
also by god do not let pros handle the scene while leaving rookies to sit. if a higher-ranked person bites the dust its ruinous for the morale of lower-ranked ones, you could have a plane half-full of panicking rookies murdering each other if even one of the experienced troopers goes down. some people have their single highest-rank soldier hang back or sit in the skyranger for this reason, to minimize the risk they'll die and ruin the rest of the team's morale
if a rookie is sent on a mission this...

Anyone have any experience storing video games in an attic? Had to move recently and lost a bunch of space. Was able to store some things at my sisters, but only in the attic. It gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Storing my snes and 64 and games amongst other things. Have the games and consoles in rubbermaid containers. Will they get damaged after so much time? Anyone store their games in an attic for a long period of time? Not ready to get rid of them yet.
Het is super bad for electronics bro. You're looking at serious stress on electrolytic capacitors, warped discs, brittle plastics...
I live in the northwest. It's probably gonna be about 100 at the hottest during the hottest days of the summer. You think it's still too hot?
I know it's not the greatest place to store them but just was hoping someone else had any experience storing them in similar places.
Unpopular opinion thread?
I think Blue Shift is better than Opposing Force because it has better levels, even if it lacks the additional weapons and enemies.
Blue Shift wasn't designed as an expansion, it was originally a third campaign in the Dreamcast / PS2 version along with DecayI think.
I see your point. But I think it comes down to Enemy/Weapon diversity vs. Level design. I'd also add game length because it is a very significant difference right there.
I can't offer an unbiased opinion because Blue Shift was the first Half-Life game I played. I love the game. Dearly. From the bottom of my heart. I've loved Opposing Force and I've loved Half-Life (which of course turned to be my favourite), but Blue Shift is like my first love who did nothing wrong and yet it could only give so much.
A bit more objectively, I'd say I...

They both had the trappings of the entire HL series -- linear style-over-substance setpiece-based FPS where you go from one little designed section to overcome to another.
Incredible how people will deride Halo as being a horrible, derivative shooter but put fucking Half-Life on a pedestal.
I've had a Sega CD since the early 90s but I never did all that much with it. I've got Sonic CD, Sewer Shark, and both Ecco Games. I had Spider Man vs the Kingpin at one point but the disk cracked.
What are some recommended games for it? I'd really like to get more use out of it.
Lunar
A Saturn
>>3205119
robo aleste and android assault are pretty boss.
Really want to region mod my mega cd so I can play lunar etc but i'm not sure how to do it.
Hey, /vr/,
I wasn't on the internet before 2004, so I don't really know of any truly classic online games. Someone posted a thread for Endless-Online here last night and that piqued my interest for something of that vein. Can anyone recommend me some games of the late 90s, early 2000s that still have at least 10 people playing?
wouldn't let me post without an image

Welcome to 4chan
Maybe try Everquest
It's not worth it. They're infested with slavs and sugarcane noggs.
The only way to do it is if you have a group of buddies. Since clans also are basically a thing of the past.
Welp I just sold all the junk genesis games I had for a cool $100 and have a deal pending on the cased set for $150, ordered an everdrive. what do I do with the rest? sega cd2 or 32x? get a different console? buy a stack of 3do games?
save your money for your wife's sons college
What's supposed to come with a 32X, it's got it's own power supply right? Anything else?
I'd say 32x, better games than the CD imo. The Everdrive is compatible with the 32x iirc (correct me if I'm wrong), so you'd have all the games you need right out of the box.
What are some franchises that were apparently big during 5th and earlier gens that failed to make it to 6th and later gens?
Stuff like Battle Arena Toshinden.
