Why'd they drop the sim aspects for the sequel? Hell, its even a big selling point on the box.
Did people not like the sim parts? I always found them pretty fun.
>>2871927
2 sucked compared to the first one. Without the sim aspect it's basically any other platformer out there.
The sim tied to the combat sequence is what made act raiser so badass in the first place. Made you feel like you were actually defending your subjects since you always had to go stomp the ass of whatever monster that eventually was discovered through building the city.
>>2871963
I don't even think it's as good of a platformer, the hitboxes seem fucked up compared to the first one. Soundtrack isn't as boss either

Your favorite Game Boy Color game?
>>2871863
That one is up there. It's my favorite panel de pon variant.
I'd say it's a toss between Poke Crystal and MGS Ghost Babel.
>>2871863
Oh snap, I love that game.
>>2871883
I would probably say Crystal for me as well. I've probably played through the game at least half a dozen times.
I absolutely loved Mario Tennis too, but the story mode was incredibly easy. I didn't drop a set in singles the first time I played though the game even though I didn't know the rules of tennis very well.
Why did the Rareware developers decide to make the unarmed striking animation in Goldeneye a karate chop? This is something I've always wondered. Why not a regular punch, like in Perfect Dark and TWiNE? Is it a reference to one of the films?
Feel free to ask questions about extremely minute things in games here.
Another thing I've always wondered is why, after acquiring it, you instead use the sniper rifle's stock to attack enemies when unarmed. It's such a strange detail. Why the sniper rifle out of all guns?
Man, if only I could meet the developers. I'd have to so many autistic questions to ask them about this and Perfect Dark.
Because Bond chops Xenia in the movie.
I wonder if the Austin Powers director played Goldeneye
Why didn't this game get any sequels?
Such a fun game.
Because SEGA.
>>2868434
came out in 1995, mascot craze was dying down in favor of 3d
>>2868438
That helps, they had plans for new characters and everything.
Post some 10/10 retro videogames.
I've never played a 10/10 video game.
Terranigma is an 8.5 though.
As close to perfect as any game I've ever played.
>>2867684
Sorry anon, it's missing 2 seven force forms due to time constraints
What games actually used the right stick on the original PlayStation (besides Ape Escape)?
>>2867396
vagrant story used it in a weird way to switch on the first person camera, but that is probably not what you are looking for.
Just off the top of my head:
Colony Wars
Medal of Honor
Quake II
Ace Combat 3
Syphon Filter 2 (this was used to move your character but have the camera stay locked, I used it quite a lot actually)
Alien resurrection had a modern control scheme and got panned in reviews because people didnt get it lol.

I played it the other night and thought it was amazing. Much better than the first one but sucks this game was never released. What do you think of this game?
>>2865803
I forgot this existed, I really wanna play it now.
Two thumbs up
>>2865803
I really wish Nintendo would either put it on the eshop or even better reskin and put it on 3DS like starfox 64
May we have one, /vr/? It's nearly impossible to discuss anything AoE proper on /v/ without shitposting now and you lot have better mods
What's your favorite
>Civ from the base game and each expansion
>Campaign
>Random map type
>Iteration of the game
>Dickass strategy
>>2821734
>May we have one, /vr/?
I give my blessing.
Tribute a bump
>>2821734
On /vr/? Sure why not.
The vanilla game was good but 1st expansion made it an all time favorite for me. Plus it probably has one of the best opening cinematic as far as games go.
Byzantines best race.
Can someone tell me why SNES games are so expensive?
because ppl in their 30s like me don't know what to do with their money and wanna sink into nostalgia from the 90s
>>2875910
way too damn true
>sold a lot of my SNES collection when I was a dumb teenager in the late 90s
Fuck.
At least I got to buy some good shit in the early 00s when prices were mad cheap
Let's get a BST going, huh?
would anyone be willing to swap mario party 2 for 3 straight up? I have 3 but I prefer the second one
Also buying F-zero X, if its cheap enough
I'm looking for an original NES controller.
As long as it works, I don't mind its physical state.
Man these always die so quickly. I've had nothing but good experiences with these.
Why is there so much information about Sega Saturn emulation?
SSF works great for 99% of games but people are constantly saying that saturn emulation is shit, is it just because they are mad that they bought the console thinking that it wasn't possible to emulate?
I don't think there's any cohesive website that discusses the state of emulation in general, so people are confused, very confused. Like thinking N64 emulation is good.
>>2872363
I wonder this same thing for the Nintendo 64. In my experience, with a Dell Inspiron from 2008, I'm able to emulate the majority of games without a hitch. Sometimes it crashes, and slows down, but it's very easy to see past that when you have tons of games to play. I've been able to emulate approximately fifty games for n64 nearly perfectly, since 2006. PJ 64 1.7 has worked fine. People are just too stupid to adjust plug ins. Or a variable framerate is too much for them. In which case they shouldn't play n64 games anyway. Or any fifth gen games.
>>2872376
agreed
So all the good Star Wars games are no longer canon?
they never really were
>>2864363
who fucking cares what george said they are cannon anything made after return cinema wise DID NOT HAPPEN though i have not seen the new one yet
>>2864363
You forgot to include a picture of a good Star Wars game.
Why did Link have pink hair, and why didn't Nintendo keep it for further iterations? Personally, I think pink hair looks awesome on him.
Bumping with more pink haired Link.
cute pictures

The last Parasite Eve 2 thread made me want to replay the game, which I had never beat (years ago it used to glitch out at the end boss on my emulator... it's fine now).
So I finally beat it yesterday night and I enjoyed it a lot, probably more than 1, and I'm looking into replay modes.
I think I got the normal ending, and I unlocked 2 modes : what seems to be a new game + with the same game; and Bounty Mode.
Would you guys recommend Bounty Mode? Or the new game + ? what's the most fun? Is it doable to get the "good ending" without a guide or does it take some bullshit stuff to do that noone would have a chance to figure out on his own?
>>2853616
You saved the dog right? Because if you didn't then you really should just kill yourself
>>2853616
I can't remember exactly because it was so long time ago, but definitely check out differences between those two new modes.
Game is insanely replayable, shit loads of ranks that net you different weapons.
If I recall Bounty is classic new game+ where you get to use everything you unlocked so far in the game. But it gives you less points for end game rank while scavanger is quite brutal at times because there is so few ammo to be found.
There is also one mode in which enemy placement is completely changed and you end up fighting golems right from the start. Its actually great.
>>2853693
I save the dog but not Pierce apparently
>>2853721
Actually Bounty is harder difficulty. The first mode you're referring too is the classic new game+ which name escapes me.
I'm gonna give Bounty a try though it seems challenging.
My stats for my previous play
Reccomend me obscure Playstation games,any genre is fine
Incredible Crisis.
RC de GO!, an excellent racing game.
Super Bubble Pop. Mostly for the soundtrack
