I've been trying to get The Abyss: Incident at Europa working because it looks pretty dank.
You're using the word vaporwave wrong, surreal yes, vaporwave no.

Oh shut up internet expert
Favorite games?
Whatcha been playing recently?
Best OST?
Most polished combat?
Wall of shame?
I have been playing the D&D games a lot recently, they are both quite fun. Tower of Doom is very solid and challenging, it's the perfect balance between melee combat and RPG elements. Shadow over Mystara has more content and variety but is kinda broken. Still, it's quite enjoyable.
King of Dragons > *
Guardians is fucking fantastic its find like a fighter which I love
Battle circuit is also fantastic, the buying system is great and I love the theme and aesthetic
>>2863419
King of Dragons is great too, after all it's pretty much the predecessor of Tower of Doom.
Was it murder?
>>2863131
no, because murder only applies to humans. it did nothing wrong though.
It wasn't against the law, so not really. But the whole point of Metroid games is that you run around killing random wildlife in your quest to exterminate Metroids.
>>2863149
Okay, but that would at least make it highly immoral.
>>2863151
>But the whole point of Metroid games is that you run around killing random wildlife ....
....yes wildlife which is hostile towards your, in this case croco was just standing there minding his business, even being scared of you maybe.

Could the Saturn with a 4MB or more RAM cart handle this game?
I'm not talking 3rd Strike, just vanilla NG.
>>2871352
It doesn't look like anything the saturn couldn't do, but the whole III series flopped so I'm guessing that's why it wasn't ported asap.
3S didn't blow up until after the daigo video, and thats when the ps2\xbox port came to the west
Is New Generation supposed to be less demanding on the console? I always thought the three SF3 games were mostly the same.
>>2871365
I just figured that since it had less characters, it might be less hardware intensive. Then again, if there is a difference between all three games it's negligible.
What are some of the most memorable vidya moments to you, /vr/? And I don't mean personal moments like when you and a friend double KO'd each other three times in a row in Street Fighter II. I mean plot point kind of moments.
When Master Miller takes off his glasses.
>>2854014
End of PDS when (major spoiler coming up)you find out that you(the player) are the "divine visitor" who was the external outside force guiding Edge thru out his journey. Broke the 4th wall in a very "whoa!" Kind of way.
>>2854014
>I don't mean personal moments like when you and a friend double KO'd each other three times in a row in Street Fighter II
But that was pretty fucking dope, though.
For those who own an Everdrive 64, would you say that you are happy with your purchase?
>>2872216
Yeah, works great and I don't have to support the retro jews to play games.
>>2872216
Yes. Mainly because N64 emulation is still shitty enough for it to feel like a worthwhile purchase. I got a V2 because the few extra games supported by the V3 aren't worth the extra cost to me personally.
>>2872276
Do you know why there are compatibility differences between versions? The N64 didn't have any coprocessor chips. Memory too small? Seems unlikeklyu.

I'm thinking about picking up a Saturn but I was a PS1 kid. I only had 1 neighbor with a Saturn and I remember it being pretty impressive.
Anyways, I know next to nothing about the console itself. I plan on playing on an HD TV, if I don't mind how my PS1 games look on my TV, will I find Saturn games to look terrible? Especially worried about the 2D games looking bad because the Saturn seems to have a lot of good 2D games.
Second, I plan on getting some Japanese imports because there was only a handful of games that came Stateside. Is the Saturn region-free?
Third,...

>Is the Saturn region-free
No, you'll need a 4-in1 Action Replay. It fits into the cartridge slot in the back. It'll bypass region lock, give you cheats, act as a RAM expansion for games like X-Men vs Street Fighter and give you a lot more room for save data
>what's the difference between model 1 and model 2?
Pretty much just cosmetic.
Enjoy the Saturn bro. It's got a great (albeit expensive) library!
>>2871791
If you don't mind the way PS1 looks on your TV then Saturn won't bother you either. I couldn't stand it without an upscaler personally, but you're not me.
Saturn isn't region free but apparently quite easy to mod to play imports. I'm sure someone will post links soon. That's the better way to go anyways since the consoles are fairly cheap, but you'll be paying an arm and a leg for any game that's not shit.
Gongrats, you're in for a treat. Saturn has...

Thanks, I'll be sure to get the Action Replay. Any good site for cheats as well?
>>2871803
I've been watching a lot of Youtube videos, most of the games look pretty fun. I'm mostly a fan of platformers but I also like a good arcade style game (like arcade racers, fighters, and shooters).
I'm not too excited about the prices, but I guess that's what makes collecting so exciting.
I was in Goodwill today and I saw an NES Advantage controller for sale for $15.
I didn't get it. I was kind of scared to buy it, Goodwill doesn't do refunds on electronics and I had no way of knowing whether the joystick was adequately responsive. The controller was so huge, I couldn't imagine playing a game with it.
What does /vr/ think about the NES Advantage? Yea or nay?
>>2871238
you shoulda changed the tag dummy
>>2871245
til you get a shithead who cares about theircommunity serviceand calls you out like a fatboy
>>2871245
If I was going to steal I would probably just grab something small and put it in my pocket.
I doubt they have cameras at Goodwill, at least ones that aren't on the registers.
Can we have a thread about games that are in first person, but aren't necessarily shooters? Pic related is pretty awesome and one of my favorite DC games. Shame that not many people played it as it has some unique gameplay features and branching paths that lead to 7 different endings.
>>2871054
Only thing I know about this game is the amazing as always art by Kazuma Kaneko. I really think some of his ballsiest and crazier designs are in this one. The game seemed okay, the first person sword gimmick was kinda neat.
Only other game like this, as in first person with a sword, that I know is probably some samura/ninja-y arcade game.
I'd also put Jumping Flash forward because while there is some shooting, just the movement and environments set it apart from your general "FPS"es as most know them.
>>2871057
Grow up
>>2871054
Try the King's Field and Shadow Tower series.
Also Baroque on the Saturn.
Hey /vr/, I started playing Star Control II. I read that I have limited time to finish the game, but is it enough to explore every galaxy?
Also any tips? For example, should I try to destroy as many ships as possible for RUs or just stay with mining minerals?
>>2870593
>is it enough to explore every galaxy?
There's only one galaxy. And no, you don't have enough time to explore every star system. The time limit feels a lot like the time limit in Fallout 1. It's strict enough that you can't ignore it but not so strict that it's excessively limiting. If you're concerned, there's something you can do to make it much less pressing (spoilers from mild to explicit):Found the Melnorme yet? Check out gas giant starsTrade...

>Any tips
I don't want to spoil the game for you so I'll give you my patented Best Star Control 2 Newbie Tip:
If you get your ass kicked in ship combat learn to fight in a cowardly fashion with a Spathi Eluder. It is very safe if tedious to destroy even Ur-Quan ships by fleeing, dodging everything and launching B.U.T.T.s.
You can obviously find other ships and learn to fight with all of them but early on you can feel pretty weak with the starting selection.
If you want more time to explore every system/play at your own pace without the clock ticking down on you (and if it's your first playthrough, you WILL run afoul of the death march) then download the time dialation mod, or the delay mod. The dialation mod makes the game go much slower overall so other timed events also take longer to manifest, while the delay mod just puts off the final deadline without affecting any of the other events/general timeflow.
What does /vr/ choose?
>>2870454
Been awhile but I'm almost positive the plane is completely better in that situation.
>>2870454
It's pretty simple op. Hipsters choose the jet and real men choose the attack heli.
>pic related. Even when we move planes we use helicopters, that's how much more bad ass they are.
>>2870729
yeah, but then what do they move that helicopter with? this could easily turn into the crane copypasta.

Jesus, why is this game so hard?
I don't know, James
I remember this game having the most retarded control scheme ever conceived.
Did this game have any relation to Batman Forever on snes? They seemed very similar.
I just found this over in /t/ and thought you might enjoy it:
>>>/t/686313
Also Magazine/Advertising thread? I used to read the Bravo Screenfun alot because it was the first mag here in Germany wich had covered all consoles and PC and i liked to read about games i couldn't play because i didn't own the console.

>>2867851
most computer platformers at the time were single static screens like Prince of Persia, just having screen scrolling was already a big deal.
