What is the best video game based off a movie and why is it Little Nemo?
Because it predates the movie I guess
Not better that Terminator 2 NES tho
>>3190530
Aladdin (Genesis, not the shitty SNES game made by gooks).
>>3190530
The Nemo arcade game was awesome. See also Willow.
Capcom were on-point, on all their bases.
Was I supposed to feel bad for these fucks?
The nose knows.
Im acturally playing through chrono cross for my first time. The dwarves are fucking assholes.
But yeah, i think so
>>3186737
I didn't feel bad for any of the demi-humans.
That whole subplot was full of terrible characters.
Well /vr/, Mother's Day is this weekend and Father's Day just around the corner. Most of us got into gaming partially with the help of our parents. Many of who also loved games and shared their love of them with us.
So I thought we could have a thread in appreciation of all the gaming moms and dads out there that helped us get obsessed with them in the first place.
My parents were always really cool with getting us games and stuff, despite not playing much. My dad really liked watching us play though, I think it was just nice for him because he could rest/fall asleep while being around us after shift work. They're good people, I probably could never be as kind as they are.

I remember the day my dad brought an NES home. It was in November and said he had an early xmas present that couldn't wait. We played until I couldn't keep my eyes open that night and fell asleep to him playing Mario. What memories!
>>3186593
My dad had been really against video games. He would play a round of Wrestlemania sometimes but just spend the whole time running away.
Then I showed him Tetris. At first he was annoyed and didn't get it. "Why would I want to complete a line if it just disappears?" Then he "got" it and was hooked for years and years. Played it every night before bed for almost 15 years.
Anyone else play this recently? Saw a thread on here about it before.
>>3183808
Haven't played it in a while, but I did a dozen playthroughs. Fun little game with great visuals.
And what are your best/favorite endings OP? Mine were General and Court magician.
I can't get back into 2 because I know the system too well.
I should be playing 3 more but I have trouble warming up to it.
>>3183823
I'm a big fan of the combat related endings, first time playing got the Hero warrior endings I think and then tried to get all the other fighting type endings.
Why don't more RPGs, retro or not, elaborate on Chrono Trigger's battle format? The idea of menu-baded battles where enemies reposition in real time, and special attacks have AoE properties dependent on that positioning, is a really cool concept that CT didn't fully capitalize and Cross abandoned completely. Are there any other good games that employed this concept, preferably more strongly? (The closest out of anything I've played is Grandia 2 but the game outside of battles is kind of ass.)
Idk, try Live A Live -enemies and characters move at the same time
also, if movement, range and positioning is an important part of the battle system, the game should let you decide where your characters move IMO, it should never be under A.I. control
SRPGs usually implement movement and positioning, but not in real time as far as I know
It's a ship. Towerfags need not apply.
Lunar does this. Combat takes on a sort of puzzle-like aspect where you try to align your timing and positioning in order to do it most efficiently (and then inevitably have to come up with new solutions each time someone levels up and your battle order changes).
I have finished both Diablo 1/2 and want to replay one of them modded again but which one is better?
Diablo Belzebub or Diablo 2 Median XL ?
I can't decide...
Look up the mod called "Path of exile"
Belzebub seems more true to the original games, it's basically an upgraded D1 with a bunch of shit from D2.
Median XL is the opposite of that. Nothing is there from the original game except the art assets. All the items, quests, skills, etc are new. And the game is pretty hard. More is more and the entire screen is just a barrage of colors later on.
If you want more of the same, play Belzebub, if you want something totally different play Median.
Not retro but maybe try Grim Dawn or PoE. Even D3 is pretty fun for a play through.

Castlevania thread: No Shitposting edition.
Let's see if we can do it, /vr/.
If you see Australia-kun doing his usual stuff, ignore and report his posts.
To start off the thread, what do you guys think of Kinuyo Yamashita, the composer of the original Castlevania?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Y4qqico3I
She forgets some parts but it's cute! Also she isn't really professionally trained in piano, she just learned a bit when she was a little kid, she joined Konami when she was freshly graduated as a sound engineer and came up with all the classic melodies on Castlevania 1 herself, without composing anything beforehand. Impressive, isn't it?
>>3170012
Do we really need 3 Castlevania threads in the catalog
>>3170012
>complains about straya-kun
>posts SCIV as OP
You're not very bright are you.
>>3170037
He will come whatever picture I use as OP, so it's the same. The point is to ignore him and try to have a civil CV thread for once.
What does /vr/ think of Secrets of Mana?
I don't know. I've never heard of Secrets of Mana.
>>3197621
>Secrets
>pic unrelated
wat
or, if you're serious, "SoM felt Unfinished"
One way to troll /vr/ I guess.
Let's get a developer interviews thread going. Can someone here who knows JP translate what he's saying?

Fuck off E-Celeb cancer.

Is there any way to build a RPG with action combat?
combining it with Mugen will be aces
Yeah, Secret of Mana. Don't know why square is too retarded to at least put multiplayer on all their rpgs.
Learn a programming language.
Use the more flexible engines like Game Maker.
Also I found this after a cursory googling: http://www.engine001.com/
Learn Ruby/Javascript and spend so much time making scripts for RPG Maker you could have as well made a game from scratch.

This is a thread for the games of the awesome Model 2 arcade hardware from Sega. I played a lot of these games growing up, and still love to play them when I find them, or on the Model 2 emulator.
Motor Raid is an excellent combat racing game that was released as a conversion for Manx TT Superbike, and never ported. The handling and sense of speed are great, you can use a lot of different melee weapons, and the track environments are stylish and colorful.
What Model 2 games do you like, /vr/?
>>3196105
>Motor Raid
Gonna look this one up, looks interesting.
Easy mode answer, but still one of my favorite games of all time.
I recently touched the first DOA, just because I could. It was ... interesting.
Lacking arcade history/knowledge I don't even know what the system has to offer though. Quick glance around the web suggested a lot of fighting games and "shallow" racing games. Oh right, Sega Rally was the reason I obtained the Model 2 emulator to begin with. Need to hook up an analog controller for it though, and wrestle the stupid resolution issues of the emu. I only remembered Sega Rally from a demo back on Windows, and tried to recapture that.
Not sure what I'm looking for, but I think the system can do more than I'm aware of.
Is the PSX version really bad compared to others?
It's not the same game. Large portions of levels were taken out. The N64 was well-suited for 3D platformers, on PS with a few exceptions they look like ass. It was going to be an N64 exclusive at first and it shows.
>>3196093
But the Dreamcast is the definitive version.
>>3196098
or PC. it supports both directx and glide.
What is the best retro class-based RPG?
Fft
>>3195571
Depends on what you want from the game.
Most people are fine with class systems where the class is basically a label for the abilities you're going to learn and little else, others prefer more rigid rules such as penalties on equipment/abilities/stats, others prefer a design based purely on stats and/or embedded, non modifiable abilities.
I personally prefer the third model, so games like Romancing SaGa 2, Dark Law or Der Langrisser are probably some of the best in terms of RPG with classes for my taste.
I don't like the first model because at the end of the day classes mean nothing when you can modify stat growth and toolsets as you see fit like in FFT, it ends up being a game of super hybrids and overpowered specialists with no weaknesses or downsides at all in both cases, the only advantage is almost purely cosmetic since you can choose the sprite you like the best for our generics, which isn't bad for me since I'm more of an aesthetic>efficiency guy.
The second model is fine but it's usually ridden with stupid rules such as equipment restrictions that make little sense for me, I get that mages couldn't have the physique du role for a full plate, but I don't see why they can't equip a short sword or a crossbow and are forced to use staves and if you're lucky, daggers.
Though one class based game that I really appreciated in it's simplicity and rigid ruleset was Vantage Master, it has its flaws and ends up being more of a game of chess than a RPG, but it's pretty addictive once you get into it, even though it wasn't really my thing in regards to some class restrictions rules.
>>3195571
Final Fantasy 3 or 5.
When it comes to FFs, the ones with the job system are consistently awesome (Except X-2, that one is average)
Can we get a Bionic Commando thread going here?
Sure, no problem.
Sorry, I'm not feeling like it.
>>3195225
That's not Bionic Commando.
I'll start with:
Starfox 64
Mario Kart 64
Kirby 64
Bomberman 64
Pokemon Snap
Yoshi's Story
Mario Kart 64 and Starfox 64 were pretty much the only N64 games I thought were anywhere near good.
>>3195204
Super Mario 64
Banjo Kazooie
Donkey Kong 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Mario Tennis 64
>>3195204
http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Nintendo_64
Basically everything on this list, we have enough n64 threads.
