the genesis Aladdin game had floaty controls and poor backgrounds.
>>3077078
I don't think I ever enjoyed that level. It's not bad, but it just feels like I should be done. Next zone please.
>>3077078
The dreamcast isn't very good, it was underpowered and had no good exclusives.
Psychonaut's Meat Circus
>>3077108
>Skies of Arcadia
It had ONE good exclusive, and that's good enough for me.
I talk endlessly about how much I love the Dreamcast, but it's basically just because I have wicked nostalgia for it. The summer I bought it with my own saved up cash, I remember Sonic Adventure blowing my mind, and Skies of Arcadia was probably the most fun I ever had with an RPG. Those two rose-tinted scenarios are all I need to make the Dreamcast one of my favorite systems, and while I admit it, I am not ashamed of it. I feel like the Dreamcast had a lot more potential, and it was cut terribly short.
>>3077086
Sonic 2 was my first Sonic. After that, I felt like every Sonic game that had 3 acts per zone was insane. I still do. 2 is the perfect number.

The sad fact is that it's true. The Sega Dreamcast was a tremendous step in the right direction, and it had a wonderful launch line-up and showed a lot of promise. Unfortunately, it was undone by Sega's previous missteps. Consumers who felt burned by the Saturn and the 32X turned their back on Sega's next effort, regardless of what it offered, and because of the success of the PS1, the PS2 had cadre of massively loyal Sonyfans who bought it without question. Plus there was the added appeal of the PS2 being a DVD player. The cards were stacked against the Dreamcast in almost every way possible, except for the fact that it was actually a great system.
The reason the Dreamcast resonates so strongly with passionate gamers is because it represents one of the first times in gaming history that marketing trumped actual hardware quality.
>>3077156
>Cuz golden sun was the best thing to happen to hand held.
ARE YOU HAPPY?
>>3077156
I'm new here, are they actually adding those next month?
>>3077156
>Cuz golden sun was the best thing to happen to hand held.
Golden Sun was pretty great back then. Probably the best handheld RPG, it's not hard to see why it was so revered. I didn't have much experience with RPGs back then, feel free to prove me wrong.

Modern games are horrible and outdated. They are glitchy, poorly designed, and often way too difficult, with the difficulty not being a kind that is surmountable based on skill level, reflexes, or thinking, but rather random luck or rote memorization of hidden factors.
No one who can afford better should play them anymore.What? You said trigger /vr/.
>>3077237
>modern
>>3077237
*retro
not modern. retro.
dang. it's so wrong, my subconscious wouldn't let me.
>>3077237
Well, they were designed in mind to take quarters from kids. It just took a while to get over that mentality
>>3077279
Oh and, either the developers played the game a bunch and got good and felt it wasn't hard enough anymore, or they didn't like video games themselves so they played with some sort of cheat or code on just to bug test it, not try the difficulty.
>>3077207
Just a follow up: This isn't to say that the PS2 didn't eventually become a fantastic system, but its launch was pretty pathetic.
Yoshi's Island is great but that crying baby is annoying as all hell and completely ruins the entire game.
>>3077283

For the record, he's excited about having an attack button because the previous installment didn't have one.
Not gonna lie some of those games on the commiedore feel like they were designed to be played with exploits and savestates, just like romhacks. It's not bad design, just not something we're used to seeing.
>>3077324
This hardly works because most of /vr/ are plebs who don't like Yoshi's Island in the first place.
>>3077324
>>3077361
It's not "triggering" if it's a true fact. Until you get good enough to not get hit, you're going to hear that fucking baby until you want to die. What's the point in having good music if there's wailing ruining it?
Somebody needs to make a romhack that removes that sound effect from the game. i don't need the crying to know the kid isn't on the dinosaur.
This is a set-up /vr/, I just posted this freaking thing in an almost perfect situation
>>3077207
What's so tremendous about it? The hardware isn't even that good. The nice thing about it was the arcade-perfect ports.

counter-baiting, to create a reaction that then baits itself.
genius.
I know a bunch of you will erupt at the phrase "this hasn't aged well" because either you'll take the words themself absolutely literally and say something like "What, you're saying the 1s and 0s have changed over time, huh, HUH? Insinuating that the game isn't exactly the same as when it was released, huh?" or "Y-you're just underage!"
>>3077180
I'm confused.
What is it
Now that the dust has settled, did this PS2 remake of an overrated PSX game age badly?
>>3077196
You wanna REALLY trigger /vr/? Mention that you like this game.
Just bought a Retron 5, my wife loves it
>>3077404
>What's so tremendous about it? My knowledge of it is limited to YouTube.
>>3077113
I remember spending days on this level. I did beat the game though. I was 7
Holy fuck the memories
>>3077113
I played this for the first time a few months ago. The Dam wasn't really that bad. I failed the first time, but got it on my second try, and now I can do it first time pretty reliably.
I'm not gonna lie and say it's not demanding though, I only got through easily because I'm an adult who's been doing this stuff his entire life.
I still haven't beaten this game, last time I played it I got to the Rope city and I couldn't figure out from the in-game text or from the manual where/when I was supposed to use the rope, so I stopped playing.
>>3077195
cave sucks more
shooters died with bullet hell nonsense
>>3077228
game plays like shit and has way too much dialogue yet somehow says nothing. only good part about it was the graphics.
>>3077361
I don't actually, it's good and the visuals are great but I don't really like it. I think it's because the amount of shit to collect really drags me down, it shouldn't but it does, maybe because it feels like I should be doing well but I'm not? I think something about the game just frustrates me.
>>3077586
Maximum triggering achieved
>>3078168
Really? I think the gameplay is very strong. The collectible Djinni system was fun, the way they could be equipped and unleashed to change stats in the middle of battle, and how multiple unleashed could then be combined to perform a summon... it beats the shit out of most old school JRPGs in terms of depth.

Brutal Doom is better then the original Doom
The only consoles I own are the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. You fags are getting ready to scream "NOT RETRO!". I calmly say if I went back to the past and showed your 10 year old self those consoles and their games you would put down your NES, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600 or whatever other console you owned at the time and pick up that Dualshock controller and play some Dark Souls, Motorstorm, GTA 4, or *gasp* even Call Of Duty.
SNES pales in comparison to the Genesis.
Why in the holy mother of ass would you want a CRT television set.
Nintendo's only great console was the NES. It all went downhill afterwards.
/vr/ are a bunch of plebes for not talking about the Atari 2600 and older consoles more often. They insist on talking about their infantile Dreamcast or SNES.
Nintendo is worshiped far too much.
One of these is the most overrated game of all time. Which is it?
>>3078451
Only literal retards or yuppie investors would ever consider buying those. Absolute waste.
The PS2 is better than the Dreamcast. Sega deserved to become Sony's bitch. Nintendo is next.
>>3078451
People actually buy these?
>>3078405
Brutal Doom is the only reason to why Doom is relevant now.
>>3078463
neither
>>3078451
Ha ha! Not only Is that Mario 3 entombed, it's also framed! Next step is to put it in a 1-ton safe.

Ocarina is shit, I'd rather play Quest 64.
>>3078467
Did you know that the real super mario bros. 2 didn't ever get released in America? What we got instead was a clone of a whole different game called doki doki panic. What the shit??
Nintendo is the only game company that matters. Shigeru Miyamoto's brilliance has been gaming's guiding hand for decades, and no one can surpass him.
>>3078463
The correct answer is Final Fantasy VII
Sega > Nintendo
>>3079154
It has been released in America, though. Both on SNES, and Wii's Virtual Console.
Super Mario 64 has objectively more depth to its movement than any video game released before or since, period.
This thread is kinda sad.
>>3079161
The truth triggers people.
>>3079164
But this is true. Since then, games have become far less about the player having control and movement.
>>3079185
It's true, but it's almost certain to trigger some retards.
Earthbound is a good game.
Retro games are outdated compared to modern games.
>>3077139
Good God, I only played through that game once about 3 years ago, but even reading "bloody swamp" still makes me cower in fear.
2004 is objectively best year for video games.
>>3079207
There are literally no games on that image that I like.
>>3079214
>not enjoying mgs3
are you some sort of faggot?
One of these days, I would honestly like to save up enough money and buy Earthbound.
>>3079185
>>3079191
Mario 64 was such a ridiculous effort. They just went all-out. Mario has so much mobility and so many moves, the game doesn't even require half of them. Meanwhile, modern games have moved towards having context-sensitive movepools for their characters, where all you have to do is push a button in the right situation, and the game uses the move for you.
>>3079207
There are three games there that I absolutely love, and a bunch more that I at least like, or recognize that they deserve the praise they get.
>>3079214
You literally don't like vidya then.
>>3079251
Ironically enough pioneered by the same people on the same console with the company's other sacred cow franchise.
>>3077695ChronoTriggering /vr/
>>3079160
True. Consider that FF7 is a franchise unto itself, whereas OoT and MM, together, have pretty much just remained a self-contained installment in the series.

dreamcast > gamecube
saturn > n64
genesis < snes
Two out of 3 but not for the generation that actually matters. The only true generation is the 2D generation, and saturn wins because it had great 2D titles and n64 just had ugly polygons everywhere.
3D killed gaming.
>>3079371
Master System > NES
>>3079292
True, but to be fair, Ocarina of Time was not a platformer, and the focus was elsewhere. Link's moveset was limited, and the context-sensitive button and auto-jumping allowed them to focus on the array of items and puzzles the game offered, which was definitely where they were better off focusing. I think Ocarina would have lost its appeal if half of every dungeon was bogged down with you trying to figure out what kind of jump or stunt you had to pull to reach a new area. Then the game would have been far too much like Mario 64.
I suppose my real issue is that 3D platforming debuted at its peak, and only went downhill.
>>3079397
Pink Floyd reference. Kek.
>>3079418
Yeah, not saying Ocarina of Time is a bad game for using context sensitive controls. Just that it pioneered them, and they killed elaborate movement schemes.
Though given the way things were going at the time, that's probably fine. The lesson the rest of the industry seemed to learn from Mario 64 was "Milk your 3D setpiece levels with lots of abilities and lots of collectables" in the Banjo Kazooey style. If they kept going further down that path it would have sucked.

I still wonder why jon left the game grumps, i mean, he is still wildly open to cooperate with other lets players, so why can't he just go back and play together with the rest of the team. Heck, he even did a spin-off with the angry viedo game nerd (aka AVGN), which seemed to be very popular... i hope they get their act together and start playing vidya again at some point
>>3077237
Well, modern games are glitchy and poorly designed skinner boxes, so you are half right. Most of them are easy though.
>>3080256
>ubisoft and bethesda are the only game devs
Sure whatever.
I make a new James thread whenever the old one is even close to auto sage.
>>3080256
Don't judge modern games how the e-celeb kids judge retro.
Not all modern games not even most modern games are near as bad as this board makes them to be.
It's the type of games you are looking at and buying that make you think that.
>>3080265
Because Ea and activision are better? What is the big AAA developer that doesn't use arbitrary rpg elements and boatloads of dlc?
>>3080272
Nobody mentioned DLC.
Or RPG elements.
And AAA doesn't mean anything.
>>3080272
You throwing out buzzwords.
Remember when we was young?
We didn't care about the developers.
Hell sometimes we didn't even care about gameplay we just wanted it to look cool to show off to friends.
>>3080269
Modern games aren't shit, modern AAA games are shit. Every single one of them.

I thought the swimming section was terrible until I looked at a map. Now it's not bad at all. Start this part with your least favorite turtle, and be sure to switch turtles when one is about to die.

I guess we should also get rid of the phrases first-world and third-world because all countries have more money than some retarded McDonald's employee on 4chan will ever make.

>>3080246
he wanted to go back to making his own stuff, and couldn't while working on grumps stuff.
No reason he can't go back as a guest star, except that people would remember how much better he was dynamic-wise than a lot of the current cast, so it' be a bittersweet reunion that reminds people how much worse things are right now, possibly making some fans realize they've been along for the ride long after they were actually enjoying themselves and go off to search for greener pastures.
>>3080256
Shovelknight was glorious.
>>3079437
I think I smashed my cart to pieces on account of this level. Such a great game until then. What a kick in the teeth to all the people who spent money on it.

>>3087073
Iron Giant is really a pushover, if only for the fact that you've likely grinded a ton before you encounter it. You can vanquish it with a couple of well-placed attacks.
FF1's grinding is much more restrictive since you have level up tables. Your warriors can be only as powerful as their classes allow, and the WarMech's Nuclear attack is devastating at any level.
