What classic videogames do you consider to be overrated and/or to have aged poorly, /vr/?
WE HAD THIS THREAD ALREADY
>>3089703
Do you ever get tired of being a faggot?
Reminder

>"/v/ leak over isn't a thing"
Bring your repair, mod, and other technical questions here. What are you working on?
Don't forget to check the wiki:

Dualshock 2 controllers should be compatible on a PS1. But for some reason only the d-pad, start and X work (for some reason X functions the same as start). How can I fix this?
>>3089318
So it works with a PS2 but not the PS1? What is the effect of pressing the analog button?
>>3089328
Doesn't do anything, also I was wrong. Every button + d-pad and analog sticks don't work. It just does things from itself. Other Dualshock 2 controllers seem to work.
With the FF7 Remake coming out, how do you think Square Enix will fuck up the combat system?
It looks like a real-time game now.
What will the filthy SJWs have to say about Cloud crossdressing?
Inb4 muh privilege
>>3088993
It is going to be shit, I don't understand how they so misinterpreted the fabs request for a remake, obviously people just wanted new graphics with the old mechanics.

>how do you think Square Enix will fuck up the combat system?
As hard as Cloud's redesign.

ITT: Legendary soundtracks.

Just now getting into the Ys series, but its soundtrack has already gripped me. I had a lot of fun starting with Origins, and I'm looking forward to the rest of Ys 1.

Easily among my top best soundtracks of all time. Nobody since Hwang has came close to encapsulating the essence of Mechwarrior. His Mercenaries soundtrack is equally unparalleled:

Turok was the first game in its series, yet I still believe it to have the best music. It managed to absolutely nail the feel that Turok should have. Hard hitting tribal drums mixed with dark synth sounds that paralleled the lost world and the Campaigner's technology that invaded it. Here's a game that feels totally wrong when stripped of its music.
So /vr/, what are your all time favorite soundtracks? Not just good music, but soundtracks are so great and fit so well that the game would be worse for wear if the music wasn't there.
>Easily among my top best soundtracks of all time.
I love how these lists never have any Sunsoft games in them.
Man I love ys ost.
I know this is kind of /mu/ territory,but anyone know where to find the chords for dreaming?

well, post some plz
MOTHER/EarthBound General
I'm creating this thread so that we don't continue to repeat ourselves with giant spurts of Mother/Earthbound shitposting on this board.
It seems that the trend here is whenever one MOTHER thread pops up, at least two more follow. Hopefully with this general we can condense it all into one discussion thread (I've specifically waited for the board to be free of these threads to create this general)
So, this is a MOTHER/EarthBound general thread, feel free to discuss the series' music environments or characters, post art, and discuss personal feelings about the games.
My feelings about the games are that they're subpar and all three put together were less successful than the least successful Dragon Quest game.
My favorite thing about them is how they so easily ferret out newfag bandwagon retro gamers.
MOTHER 3 > MOTHER 1 > MOTHER 2
Debate me.
>>3087778
>subpar
Explain
>all three put together were less successful than the least successful Dragon Quest game.
That doesn't really mean anything.
>My favorite thing about them is how they so easily ferret out newfag bandwagon retro gamers.
It's like someone threw all of the meaningless elitist /vr/ buzzwords into a sentence but forgot to include 'hipster' and 'cuck'.
Do you have anything constructive to say about the subject matter or are you more concerned with superficial things like fanbase and sales numbers?
Anyone else grow up with this classic?
I know vr hates this word, but Spider-Man 2000 has not aged well
A shame, because neversoft's tony hawk series is still amazing today
>>3087693
I was playing it the other day and while it wasnt as fun as I remember, its still a great single player game. The second one for the PS1 was really good as well.
>>3087675
>grow up with
>2000
RIP most overrated classic games studio.

>Shrugs
They made some of my favorite games ever, but their quality has been in steady decline for years now. I'd rather see them just die outright than limp along shoveling out terrible parodies of what their games used to be.
They were smart to leave Konami when they did and probably smart to shut up shop when they did.
>Rumor
>source is NeoGAF
>All it says to back up the "rumor" is that Treasure hasn't made a new game since Gaist Crusher but they still license their works like Ikaruga and Gunstar heroes
Wow, it's fucking nothing.
All stuff we've know for a while, Treasure is not dead, they're a group of freelance developers that usually work for other companies and work on Treasure every now and then, usually under contract by major publishers.
>>3085489
Not OP but it looks like the real source is Mark McDonald and if he says something publicly I tend to take it seriously.
>He says he beat a game
>He used quicksaves while playing it
You didn't actually beat it, go back and do it again
>>3083974
Would you count it if the game has no save feature and I use save states as saves?
>>3083974
IMO, loading saves in old school FPSs is only acceptable if you just started it up to return to playing.
I seriously don't get the appeal in quicksaving and loading after every death. It just takes away the punishment for dying, and takes away the feeling of accomplishment for surviving. Its just boring.
>>3083974
i only save at the start of levels on the hardest difficulty, but DAMN if extra crispy is testing my limits and im an old school arena shooter player and beat lots of other FPS on the hardest settings.
What retro games feel and look the most like modern indie games?
I'm not talking about classic games that have influenced indie games, many indie games start out as tributes to retro games but in the long run screw up certain styles or elements of the games that originally inspired them and thus turn into something unique - something which is now refered to as the indie style. So I'm asking about retro games that feature this indie style before the indie style became a thing.
Enemy - Tempest of Violence for the Amiga is one such game.

Shit.
Resident Evil is 20 today, Any no Resident evil memories thread? Or is it because we're always talking about Resident Evil on here?
Lets reminisce, I'll start.
"why can't i hold all these keys"
still a great game tho, also maybe its my nostalgia but it still holds up today.
Not played REmake tho. should I?
I like it. Never saw the replay value that other people do.
I do wish they kept the horror b movie vibe.
>>3083167
>mom bought me Resident Evil 2 for Christmas
>never played RE1 but okay, games are games
>holy shit this is great!
>next year discover Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 3 solidifying love of genre
>it is time
>acquire and play Resident Evil 1
>...oh
I never really cared for the game. Admittedly, it suffers from not having been the first in the franchise I'd played.
Had no idea. Actually just started a new playthrough on the Saturn with a buddy the other day. We get too drunk and blow all our bullets. He claims I should be stabbing zombies upwards to hit their heads with the knife. Is this correct?
Can we have a gaming setup thread going
Not bad for a modern history teacher.

And how can we go without pic related?
Post characters.

>can never wear Dwarven armor to complete the golden wardrobe
Why live?No, really. There was no more reason to live so he died and joined the Anthotis family.
I've always been fascinated by these all in one behemoths. Not very practical really but still very appealing.
What are your opinions on them?
How many can you think of?
I think the Wii does a pretty good job. Xbox too.

didn't know this existed, cool
Danish designer tv with built in CDI.
NEAT!
So which one do you prefer?
I mostly prefer Sprites over Polygons
It depends, but mostly sprites just look better if made correctly. Early 3D looks terrible by comparison and only a few games did it right. They would've looked better in 2D.
>>3096467
Sprites without question. But I think the bar is higher with sprites, it's harder to make them look amazing.
>>3096467
Polygons have started to look way better than sprites in my opinion, especially with all the variations that shaders can provide. For instance, see pic.
I still am a sucker for some good pixel art though.
Daily reminder that this is still the GOAT retro belt scroller.

Yeah, I like BSAGs.
Punch Walkers aged poorly
