Completely disregarding the rest of the series, do you think Sonic 1 is a good game?
>>3332537
It's a good game but
>Completely disregarding the rest of the series
Sonic 2 and 3&K are also good.
Yeah it was beautiful for the time it came out and can be a pretty fun game for sure. The sequels did build upon it but Sonic 1 is still a great game for its time and I think it has aged pretty darn well.
Hell yeah, but Sonic CD is the best

Name a flaw

The Gold X Award wasn't a real award, and the reviewer on that disc wasn't a real reviewer.
It sears my fucking eyes.
It strayed way too far away from what made the original two games magical.
It tried too hard.
Just look at that astronauts face. He means business.
>>3332517
His face looks like a smashed pie.

ITT: TV shows you were to young to experience and thus didn't get the reference the game was making.

Just don't go to college then.

Fuck Metal slug 3. Tried playing it with a friend on fightcade and it just... It feels like the difficulty was turned up to 8 and it just wasn't enjoyable at all. Then I tried playing X with a stranger and it felt GOOD. It felt fair and fun.
So let it be known that three is a pile of horse-shit on co-op
Git gud
>>3332413
It's tolerable alone. I can 1cc it alone
It's when it's co-op that it's just too much
RAWKET LAWNCHAIR!
What are some of the great PSX JRPGs? Or RPGs in general? Like a lot of people, I played Final Fantasy and a bit of Chrono Chross, but not much else.
I never finished Chrono Cross or FF9.

With the CD add-on it looks like a toilet, but that's okay because the toilet is a place to relieve yourself and have privacy.
The controller is unique.

The box it came in is very cool. It was a novel idea to try and use two 32 bit cpu's in tandem to have a "64 bit" system. It was competent at sprite scaling.
What is the oldest remake of a game that you know?
prob Super Castlevania IV
>>3331212
>Ueno only considers Super Castlevania IV a remake of the original Castlevania to some extent
it was more of a overhaul of the original game than a brand new game
"Lesser" versions of games/franchises that are actually worth your time.
I've been playing trough the 8-bit Game Gear/Master System Sonic games lately, and with the notable exception of Sonic Blast, It's struck me how good most of them are. They put the formula at its most basic, yet often feature elaborate level designs and ideas that could and would work itself into the "main" series, and I like searching for the emeralds instead of having to earn them trough bonus stages.
Also, the music has that 8-bit whistle in the shower quality to it that just adds to the charm.

Chaos is pretty crummy as well imo, but I do love the first two.
I play the Genesis originals every now and then, but I usually just get tired, bored or both at some random point (I'm a bit more tolerant for S3&K). The 8-bit ones are just way more fun to play all the way through somehow
Heiankyo Alien, Lock 'N Chase, and Shamus for Gameboy. I also prefer the GBC version of Azure Dreams to the Playstation version.
It's not a demake of the original like the western marketing campaign wanted you to think, it's actually a separate game in the series called "Ghost Babel" in Japan.
But it successfully marries the gameplay of the previous 2D Metal Gears with innovation made in the Solid series, and is honestly one of the better titles in the series.
While I'm waiting for the game to download.
How do I Evil-ish party?
My idea was:
Protagonist (Fighter / Mage)
Kagain (Fighter)
Viconia (Cleric)
Shar-Teel (Fighter switched to Thief)
Edwin (specialist Mage)
Branwen (Cleric)
Other Infinity Engine games are welcome as well.
>>3331002
That's pretty much it, you have a solid fighter, a great cleric, and a great mage.
>>3331002
I think i used Tiax for Branwen and Jan Jansen in 2, just for the fun.
It took me about 5 playthroughs to even try Kagain. Fuck, I'm stupid. Easily the best tank in the entire series.
Let's talk about hidden, often beta and debug content that went unused in the finished game, but was still left on the cartridge/disc.
What are your favorites?
Gran Turismo 2 has tons of hidden content and unused things, it's a shame as lots of those things are actually pretty good.

FF7 had a debug room you could access with gameshark type modules.

I remember spending quite some time in that dungeon, whacking at shit, before I realized I didn't auto-equip my only gear. I went bare knuckles for no reason. Next time I go I need better mapping hardware, and I want a party, dammit
Fuck yes JON. Shining in the Darkness is great, but I still have to beat the labyrinth proper. Replaying pic related right now. I don't remember it being this easy, but I do remember the soundtrack being this good. It's a shame more of the Hunter Missions weren't Silver Soldier-tier.
