Is the stealing really overpowered in this game? I'm only at 30-40 for this skill and I'm taking almost everything from everybody I meet. Comparatively, the other skills don't seem to do very much.
It's really not because it basically makes no difference, your odds are about the same no matter what unless your steal skill is obscenely high
thusly you can have 10 steal skill and still steal a bozar off that one guard in NCR, only reloading maybe 3-6 times because the bozar is so heavy.
wanna steal a stimpack off someone and it'll work 80% of the time
so don't bother raising it anymore unless you're playing ironman or something in which case why are you stealing
You're savescumming though

Would anybody steal otherwise?
Gentlemen, /tv/ has the movies to debate. Now let's have our rightful debate. Which of the Super Star Wars trilogy is the best?
My vote goes to Jedi. By then the devs had making these games down to a fine science. The levels - both the regular and Mode 7 ones - had the most polish. There was the return of character select which had been stripped from Empire. And best of all was the character select mode which let you play hilarious scenarios such as Wickett (who had the strongest attack power of any of them) against the Emperor.
A great series in general, anon. I'd agree, Super RotJ is the best. Fantastic boss fights, great gameplay. Other two were also much fun.

I'm not more interested in the development of these games
Not on the snes, but damn, I still haven't been able to complete this game. I'm getting stuck at 26:25.

Just played this game, it was pretty fun, not as hard I imagined it would be, although I looked at a map for the final level.
How are the other Xanadu games? Worth giving a shot? And the Dragon Slayer games they originated from?
They're pretty great, though Faxanadu is a bit "casualized" if you will. You might also want to check out

Welcome to Heaven (MSX)
There seems to be quite a lot of these games on the MSX which is why it's starting to surpass PCE-Duo on my list of next console to buy.
The Dragon Slayer games are all pretty different from each other. Faxanadu is closest to Romancia, Drasle Family and Sorcerian.
Xanadu is a top down RPG with just a side scrolling overworld.

PC-88 is what the games were made on.

Kabal is far and beyond the #1 character in UMK3. Prove me wrong.
>>2926821
He's my main as well.
Kabal had one of the dumbest goddamn fatalities to ever grace MK, and that's saying something.

Kabal is always a broken OP character in every mortal kombat game, this isn't news. stop acting like you had some amaZing revelation nobody else had, OP
Thoughts on this game? Never played it but it's out on PSN Plus this month. It's downloading now brehs would like a general on it while I go through it. Didn't know that the Full Throttle and DOTT guy made it until literally this moment that I googled pic related for thread picture so I'm kinda hyped.
It's good if you enjoy that sort of thing. I'd rate it 73%.
Really cool game
Don't know what else to say about it really to someone who hasn't played it. It's a point & click style game with a neat story and characters
If you're a fan of Full Throttle you'll love it.
Anyone know where's the music of this trailer from? It's not in the game and I was wondering where did they get the song.
http://youtu.be/8J6J77XHLqY
This video was on a demo disc I got back in 2000 and the music always fascinated me. This month I finally got the PSP version.
What an awful video. Makes a great game look boring. As for the music, it might just be a public domain song, since it's clearly not related to Star Ocean.
So I just learned that if you hold start as the N64 turns on you enter memory card management mode.
When I use my old memory card, it says that it's damaged and cannot be read. Is there any way to try fixing it, or is it busted for good? It's no big deal, but I'm kind of interested in seeing what save files are still on there from games I rented from blockbuster.
>if you hold start as the N64 turns on you enter memory card management mode.
Thanks for the tip OP. I always wondered how to use that thing.
I'm waiting on my friend to give me Mystical Ninja before I drop a gad on a Memory Card and Goemon's Great Adventure.
Looking back, it's kinda funny that you had to drop extra to be able to save your game to lower the cost or make room in some N64 games. Makes you wonder how much better Nintendo could have made their games if they had just bundled a memory card with the...

No idea if it can be fixed, but here's a wild guess, if it says it's damaged, probably the save files are lost. If you manage to fix it, there won't be any of your old files there. I wish you luck though.
Also, is it a legit one like the one in the pic, or one of the 3rd party ones?

>is it a legit one like the one in the pic, or one of the 3rd party ones?
Not sure... it's red instead of gray, and says DOCS on it,
Is it just me or did n64 games not age well at all? I got a everdrive 64 recently and most of them are just terrible games.
Haven't you got the memo? Every game has aged bad. Doesn't matter if it's Symphony of the Night on PS1, Goemon's Great Adventure on N64 or Guardian Heroes on Saturn. They ALL aged BADLY! Like MILK!! XD
I'm from Australia btwn
Pretty much that, N64 is a meme.
>I bought an everdrive

Ok, but I'm still confused as to why you feel the need to tell everyone about your fuckup.

Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy, Mario and Metroid just too name a few. I don't think these titles have been done to absolute death yet.
After Burner 2, Castlevania Rondo of Blood, Asterix, Knight Lore.
Turok 2 remaster hype!
Going to play this game on the NES tomorrow. What should I know, lads? Also any other dungeon crawlers? I like Daggerfall, but the dungeons for me were too hard in some cases and I guess I just want to play something more...beginner friendly?
>>2937210
read the manual. some of it's basic stuff you can skim over, but it'll give you a good overview.
Why would you play the American NES version of Wizardry?
Go for Might and Magic 3 or 4+5 for something beginner friendly.

Be prepared to spend an eternity rolling for decent stats to your characters, while this is boring and takes forever it saves time in the long run and also prevent shitloads of frustration.
Also the game autosaves your game after every battle. Why knowing this matters? If you find yourself brutally massacred in battles (this WILL happen a lot especially early on) hit that reset button before all your characters are kill and you don't have to spend all your money to revive your death characters or spending...

What were your first games for the Genesis?
I had this, Shining Force, Ecco the Dolphin and Rocket Knight Adventures
Thunder Force III and Sonic 1
ib4 australia-kun posting to say that "Exodus" is not the real name of the console
I received my genesis from my cousin when his parents bought him a playstation back in like 97.
Got a decent amount of games, but the stand-out ones to me were sonic 1, gunstar heroes, shinobi 3, and decap attack.

watching a vid now of Thunder Force 3 and I would've loved this. I had a cousin with an R-Type game on SNES that I couldn't get enough of
What does /vr/ think about themed worlds/levels?Has there ever been such thing as good water based world/level?
>>2935974
>Has there ever been such thing as good water based world/level?
Pic related if that fits the bill.
I think they can be good as long as there is enough variations in the levels to stay interesting. Like if you go between snowy overworld, ice cave, blizzard, etc. then you've got a pretty cool ice world. SMB3 may not exactly do that, but it's still broken up by underground levels and they're able to do some neat stuff with the ice block that's introduced in that world. The level design also changes pretty significantly in each level so I'd say even if it doesn't spin a ton of variations on the theme, it's still an example of how a themed world...

We need to cut this faggot bullshit out. Stop taking your opinions from ecelebs.
Best way to use a SFC controller on PC? I want to use mine to play emulators because I no longer have a SFC.
Get a USB adaptor off eBay, search "SNES USB". The best one looks like a black box and takes two controllers. I do all my gaming with this on a Pi.

Have you ever had to buy replacements? Cheap chink technology on Ebay almost always involves having to buy more after a few weeks when the first one breaks.

Um...
"To celebrate the launch on Steam, we're holding a release party on IRC.
Date: Friday, January 22nd, 2016 at 6:00 PM EST"
"The exact time of release will be announced during the chat."
We still have over 24 hours before release. Besides, wouldn't it have made more sense to post a thread about this once it releases? Can't download it till then anyways.
