What are your /vr/ goals for this year?
I saw another anon post something like beating all the games he couldn't beat as a kid so it got me thinking what I should focus on this year. I'm going to try to wrap up some games from classic series I failed to ever get around to, tie up loose ends you know.
I got like three Mega Mans left I could realistically beat. I've beaten the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy but never the SMS one, so I'll wrap that up. I want to beat the Genesis Ghouls and Ghosts since I finished the NES one years ago but didn't have the energy for the sequel at the time.

In terms of gaming and related to games:
>1CC Sunset Riders and Metal Slug
>Work hard to get content on my youtube channel
>Play more games from genres I'm less comfortable with
>Beat more games than I did last year (something like 65)
>What are your /vr/ goals for this year?
Watch and laugh as the video game prices keep going up.
Maybe make fun of the palkids a bit.
I just need to start clearing out my backlog of games I actually own.
Post some retro gaming youtube channels you think are good that haven't been discussed to death like AVGN, Gamesack, CGR, etc.

Is JonTron obscure enough?

Who has played this amazing gem of a game? It's one of the few retro games I still enjoy today. It also has an amazing kickass soundtrack, and I mean kickass. It's so good they released it as a CD.

nice filter you mouth breather
What are your favorite ARPGs?
Were Secret of Mana and Zelda games the best of this genre?
>>3091819
>Zelda games
There was only one Zelda ARPG, Zelda II.
>>3091825
yah this
those are adventure games op
Zelda is more of a puzzle adventure game. Combat is sort of minor compared to the puzzle aspect, and in fact the way you defeat enemies (bosses especially) is more about figuring out the correct method of dealing damage. So I think calling it an RPG is a bit of a misnomer.
I think we can all agree this is the worst Castlevania.
>sluggish pacing
>low-quality audio
>casualised the whip
>casualized the movement
>gimmicks, gimmicks everywhere
>easy as pie bosses with simple patterns
>level design doesn't pick up till 9 stages in
>graphics/art assets are muddy, mundane and ugly
Super Castlevania Bros. was a fucking mistake.
SNES in general had weaker game series than NES.
>Mario
>Metroid
>Castlevania
>Mega Man
>Dragon Quest
Only Zelda and Final Fantasy equaled or bested their 8-bit predecessors.
>>3087918
I wonder why this was?
>>3087926
My guess? Most of the major NES series came out in 86-89 when the console had already been out a few years and programmers had more time to familiarize themselves with the hardware. The SNES came out in 90 so you had devs right away rushing into large-scale projects on a brand-new system that they didn't know how to get the most out of.
Remember those old WWF/WWE games that let you make custom superstars?
WWF No Mercy
WWF Wrestlemania
WWF Smack Down 1 and 2 ect?
As long as it's wrestling and has a character creator it counts.
Why don't we post some of our creations?
As for me I wish I had some to post but I only have this guy.
No idea who he is or where he came from he just fucking showed up in my custom superstar list and i don't remember making him.
Apparently his name is Hulk Hogan or something?
>>3034621
Who?
>>3034649
Hell if I know, like I said he just fucking showed up.
No explanation he was just there.

you've tried this thread a few other times and it went nowhere. please stop shitting up the board.

Has the PS1 fallen victim to retro price gouging yet?
Are there any consoles that haven't?

>Has the PS1 fallen victim to retro price gouging yet?
Not yet i guess.
>Are there any consoles that haven't?
Atari 2600
Only for certain games. The majority of PS1 titles are still reasonably priced.
Where do you guys buy US Ps1 games?
Here in Europe Ps1 has been expensive as fuck for years, with the infamous FFVII as a classic example.

To submit news, please reply to this post.
also what the fuck why did no one create a new thread till now
>>3099169
Thanks Doc.
But in all seriousness, literally NO ONE else made a new thread until now. Did something happen? There's always a new thread made just as soon as the old one is about to die. It makes no sense.
What's the hardest minigame you've ever faced?
Did you beat it?
Put that shit behind spoilers, OP.
I just had a Nam flashback to that shit.
Not /vr/ but true nonetheless.
If /vr/ minigames only, probably the races in San Andreas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4D6wjdhGxY
it's been ten years and i still do
What do you guys think about the Oddworld series? Played the shit out of it as a kid, just recently picked it up. I've heard some negative things about New n' Tasty
>Oddysee
amazing
>Exoddus
FUCKING AMAZING
>everything else they ever made
what happened???????
In all seriousness, the two games have great atmosphere and a unique game mechanic. It's as if every single scene is polished to the pixel.
Also, while this is an entirely personal opinion, Oddysee and Exoddus are one of the few games that have aged so well that no matter how often I return to them they always blow me away.
>>3098818
>>3098837
The two first games hold the trophy for most vivid concept art ever.
http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/togg/
I want that fucking artbook, fuck.
>>3098837
>>everything else they ever made
>what happened???????
>not liking stranger's wrath
I don't like you too.
Do you like Racing Lagoon /vr/?
>unique racing + RPG hybrid
>great car selection
>sweet jazzy soundtrack with 62 tracks for over 2 hours of music
>AESTHETIC cityscapes
Apparently jap critics panned it upon release but nevertheless it sold a hundred thousand copies and nowadays there are still people who demand a sequel.
>>3098684
Didn't know this existed, looks awesome.
>>3098684
>Do you like Racing Lagoon /vr/?
It was literally Running in the 90's: the driving RPG, what's not to like?
I like it but it fucks with me in the worst way that japanese RPGs ever do in that I can grasp enough of the story that I don't want to read FAQs due to spoilers but if I don't read the FAQs I trigger events at the wrong time before I "grind" enough from random headlight races OR I trigger events in the wrong order and "fail" which was frustrating because it took a while to get used to the save game mechanics too. I should really go back and give it another spin because the gameplay is so cool.
Why were NES games so colorful, bright and crisp?
Compared to what?
>>3098580
NES had no yellow color.
>>3098582
well look how they try to make 8 bit games today and they look like shit. NES had a difffeel to it
May we have a nice little TA thread, /vr/?
Why play this shit when Brood War is hundreds of times better?
>>3098368
Why play Super Mario World when Sonic 2 is hundreds of times better?
is it just me sucking at RTS or is the single-player campaign in this game fucking hard as hell
