How scary is this one compared to SH2?
>>3309403
Much scarier. SH2 is much more emotionally tiring, though.
>>3309403
The soundtrack is much scarier than anything SH2 had. It fucks with you too like playing frantic metal clashing in big dark rooms where there are absolutely no enemies to hurt you.
The Sewer theme sticks out to me due to the distorted goose call.

The game itself is more Mystery/Horror than SH2 depressing atmosphere. "Nowhere" is the greatest horror game location that I can think of.
I've never played the first silent hill, but I found 2 really terrifying. I love 3's aesthetic and a lot of the choices too. 4 is a mixed bag, I think it's got some great individual moments that you can point out, and everything within the room itself is absolutely perfect, but most of the mechanics outside the room are overdesigned and cumbersome.
Should I go back and play the first game? I've played Shattered Memories, which I liked but I know it's supposed to be way different.
/vr/ banner?
>>3308815
Try making a banner that doesn't look awful by keeping the original aspect ratio of elements.
Here's a tip: keep the native size of all of the elements and manually add tiles in the appropriate places and frames to make it look great.

Nope.
some old ones I saved
Posting old pic with the strongly encouraged "rules" (still working on updated pic):
1. New suggestion: have both email and date in your time stamp. This way you don't have to include it in your text as people will see it in the pic, and the pic would be harder to steal.
2. Prices should include shipping and fees for CONUS; if you're international, prices should include fees and you can work out shipping details with the seller/buyer.
3. /vr/ stuff only, although /v/ stuff *may* be allowed if you have /vr/ stuff to sell first.

What are some bizarre rumors you came across online when you were young?
I read one where the result was that when you met Saria in the Lost Woods, she would have a fish on her lap. The author seemed to think it was an intentional easter egg by Nintendo, and said it was a dirty joke by Nintendo and that he didn't want to explain it. At the time I didn't understand, but later realized maybe the fish was supposed to be sperm? The way he insisted it was vulgar joke and refused to explain it made it seem like it was true.
Anyway I just looked it up and it...

Pokemon Mew truck rumor.
One time the gamewinners website told me you could unlock Pichu in Mario Kart GBA.
>>3306130
>but later realized maybe the fish was supposed to be sperm?
What? No, man, it's like a common joke that vagina smells like fish. She had the fish over her crotch. I don't know if it was an intentional joke on the part of nintendo, but the author you're talking about almost certainly was implying that the joke was about pussy smelling like fish...
Thoughts on the Babylonian Castle Saga? Never played any of these, but they seem interesting. Worth my time?

I feel sorry for you man. First taste of Full Tilt Pinball was XP. Sad.
>>3304493
Not to mention that Space Cadet was the weakest table in Full Tilt. It's all about dat Skullduggery, nigga.
>>3304516
huh that does look cool. never knew, i just played space cadet.
by the way, why doesnt the 3ds have any pinball games. i feel like it would be perfect for it. shoulder buttons for flippers, touch screen to pull back the ball, and gyroscopic sensors for tilt.
fund it?
What are some good ZX Spectrum games that are still worth playing today?
I never really tried the system and whenever I talk to anybody about it, they always reference ports of games that we are undoubtedly better off playing in other systems.
So I'm wondering what exclusives are actually worth looking into today.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Play_the_Game
>>3304175
The greatest Castlevania game of all time is exclusive to the Speccy.
>>3304175
>So I'm wondering what exclusives
No such thing. All games came out for the Spectrum, Amstrad and C64 at the same time, and the ZX version was only the one to go when the rest of them were direct ports of it.
Do you think the retro "bubble" is a thing, or are the massively inflated prices of old games here to stay? If so, have the prices plateaued, or will we really someday see a future where an NES averages $500?
Is this going to affect non-/vr/ consoles at some point? Would it be wise to start stocking up now?

>Is this going to affect non-/vr/ consoles at some point? Would it be wise to start stocking up now?
Good luck playing DLC heavy games in the future, when discs go bad and their servers have been long offline.
>>3304116
Well, I'm thinking more GBA/PS2 era. Maybe some PS3/360.
>>3304090
Probably not for a long while and it'll only collapse to like what we're payong about now. We've got thevretarded Jew collectors and shit. Baseball cards stamps and comic books both dealt with this shit already. A few things retained their value but most went to shit at some point... But it was a pretty long ride
ever experienced motion sickness in retro games???
Maybe once when playing NiGHTS.
>I was also very drunk though, so maybe it was that.
went to jail for 4 years and when I came out played 007 immediately but hurled after running around
Occassionally with fps games with a hard coded low FOV below 90. More eye strain than nausea tho
These games are so great.
>>3303036
>Fever
Get that trash outta here.
Puyo Puyo 2 is the real deal.
>>3303838
All of them are the real deal.
'cept for those Lion King and whatnot games, because they're rip-offs/reskins.
>>3303856
Nobody plays Sun or Fever rules because they're complete garbage.
Tsuu is the King.
Are you ready for brand new Amiga 1200 cases to be readily available once more, /vr/?

C64 welcome as well.

The new c64c cases in various colors have been made from the original molds.
This is to replace yellowed cases I take it?

Been a while since we had one of these.

I need to finish SS1, I like it so far though
Haven't played SS2
I've probably played Deus Ex at least 4 times by now.
>Are you looking forward to the upcoming SS1 remake and SS3?
SS1 remake could be good, I'm not sure. SS3 having Spector on it is a good sign, but you never know about big brand projects these days, I'm cautiously...

Deus Ex>SS1>SS2
They're all amazing though
Not sure about the remake or SS3. I know I'm in a minority on this but I don't want SHODAN to return, she's had her shit pushed in twice now and is beginning to look like a moron. The metaphor she uses at the start of SS1 about citadel being her body, with the cameras being her eyes and the nodes being her brains is hilariously disturbing when you think about it and realize that the game is I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream but with the roles...

I'd really like to play some kind of space opera game where I can kind of get lost in a fictional universe with aliens and political intrigue. A big, complicated, deep game, preferably turn-based. PC preferred. I know Star Control and its sequels, but its combat is real-time.
Simulation levels of detail might be a bit much, but I do want some weight to the game. Basically, the more engrossing it is, and the more I can feel like I'm learning about a whole new fictional world, coming to love or hate NPCs and have views on fictional politics, and so on.

Some day. Some day!
In the meantime, I'm finally trying my luck against the Jewel Beast's Pillars.
... and soon enough I gave up on trying to do it "legit" at a low ER and just synthed Overdrive+Chalice. It felt cheap. But after 2 hours of failure, well...
I know a lot of retro games kinda looked similar to this, but I'm talking specifically about games, mostly modern, that incorporated this point of view to the gameplay as well, or as a big part of the atmosphere.
This? Maybe Bonanza Bros?
Elevator Action Returns!
