PANASONICBROS WE EATING GOOD

>3DO had its own niche in Japan until it got massacred by PS1 and Saturn
It was competing with the PCD and to a lesser extent Mega CD.

>>11527576
The point is that 3DO was starting to receive next gen games which were above CD-ROM-ROM/Mega-CD capabilities, until better consoles took its place. Without PlayStation, 3DO either lives long enough for Panasonic M2 to become reality or it gets stomped hard by Saturn alone.

>>11527595
why couldn't we have at least seen nec, atari, 3do last into 6th gen. So many potentially interesting timelines and we got seemingly the blandest.

>>11527406
Sony still enters the market in 1997 and crushes all resistance.

Crocomire did nothing wrong.

Looks more like Ren & Stimpy

>>11527625
I love that the color palette is treated with a logical design rather than "this looks nice". Having every unit have a piece of flare in their texture art that pops with their racial color made everything so readable, combined with smart particle effects and the big selection ring--you can glance at a WC3 screen and immediately know who is who. Their silhouettes are also so memorable. You can easily call out every unit just by their silhouette alone.

You'll also see that they used a lot darker blacks and shadows in WC3 textures, way more contrast on the textures than WoW where everything is a bit softer.

>>11527636
this face has more charm, personality and movement than all the NPCs in Starfield or Skyrim or Witcher 3. It's crazy how good Blizzard was at characterization.

>>11527639
No problem. It's nice that author recently added the option to switch off things in there, so you can opt out for more extreme gameplay changes.

>>11527636
>that camera pan down for the sorceress' portrait
It would also be less fun.

>>11527645
it looks like dogshit. coming from starcraft prerendered portraits and the war3 opening cinematic to this was both comical and horrifying

>>11527232
I thought it was completely random

The concept is basically Mansion of Hidden Souls++ except it was ahead of its time in terms of 3D rendering, a small studio putting to shame every big publisher out there. Hence why it did so well and got all those awards.
This game is just a footnote now but it was a pioneer then

The knight fucked me up but it's a really cool game. Love time limits like that in puzzle/story games

>>11527257
I haven't played it in years but I believe there are corresponding points.

I wish there was an actual survival horror game that felt like D. Haunting Ground is the only thing in gaming that is somewhat similar but it's still not the same

>>11527056
Cover would always give me a boner back in the day but I never got around playing it

>>11527056

Runaway 1: StarForce
Runaway 2: TAGES
Runaway 3: SecuRom

Didnt get them until years later when they ended up drm free at gog, but by then I stopped caring and fans were making better adventures with AGS.

By gum, I believe you’re correct! I doubt the spam is that coordinated, though. They just have a general license to flood most boards on this site with trash.

there's a guy on this board, i don't know if it's "auster" or somebody else, but he will deliberately make threads about things people are talking about in other threads to fuck with everyone. these two WC3 threads popped up right after blizzgen anon said he'd post the gen last night/today. believe me, he will continue to be a faggot until he moves onto his next target. just ignore it though, the real gen is up now so go post there.

When this came out I wasn't really a Mega Man fan, but I remember people lavishing it with praise. The Sonic one the guy did next got a lot more flack.

>another thread of OP talking to himself

Sonic fan gets tired of his fanbase being called autistic, so he lashes out at Mega Man fans - the thread.

>>11527003
It can make for fun discussions. Autistic discussions, but fun nonetheless.
But in the case of Mega Man, most of the "lore" started in the X series. The Classic games have some (the robot master profiles, Proto Man being Mega Man's brother and his arc), but around Mega Man 7, Capcom pivoted to what-may-or-may-not-be X series bait (Mega Man considering killing Wily only to be stopped by his programming, King in MM&B appearing to rebel against humanity).

> We didn't get ANY justice league games
There was a good one

Blame Arkham Asylum. That was the first high budget AAA licensed game and turned every other licensed game into a big pissing context

>>11526868
I think that wasn't really a thing with the 5th console gen or older. Games based on existing franchises were pure garbage aimed at stupid kids that didn't now any better. Beastwars for N64 was a piece of shit and I enjoyed the TV show.

>>11526906
This. Licensed games were a scourge basically up until very recently. Basically from the 80s up until the 2010s, 95% of licensed games were total cash-grabs, even in Japan just in case anyone thought they were immune to it. People fondly remember the 5% that were good because they completely defied expectations, and honestly a lot of licensed games kinda get overhyped solely because they're not outright shitty.

>>11527139
The only good black

>>11526795
It went something like this.

>>11526812
We also have Miyamoto to thank for this. He wanted to add "sex appeal" to the franchise.

>>11526845
Human Midna is sexy as fuck, looks like an arab hoe 100% hard smash. I will never understand Imp Midna enjoyers.

>>11527151
Ya it's just hips and ass, every women has them

>>11527476
Midna had the largest canon breasts of all Nintendo ladies, until the robo-waifus from Xenoblade 2 happened.

>>11526789
I'm terrible as well but having fun. I wasn't enjoying the first few levels of 1 too much so I'll go back once done with 2.

>>11527047
It's some multiplayer maps with enemies in preset locations. The single player is an obvious afterthought.

>>11526882
Call him a noob

I beat that game the first month I bought it as a teenager. There were games way more difficult than this

It's a medium hard level difficulty at best

>>11526789
Just use save states bro

>>11526789
Let me guess, Mansion? I don't remember anything as hard as that, not even the challenges. Overall, it's an easier game than 2.

>>11526716
no idea, but there is a repack that works well

>>11526823
Thanks, Dave, but it looks like proton provides the best experience.

>>11526702
RE1: Original, REmake sucks.
RE2: Remake, but both are great
RE3: Remake, both versions are C-tier cash in games though
Haven't played the remake of 4 yet.

>>11527057
I kneel

>>11526702
I think people should play both. The original has night-perfect pacing and the remake did a fantastic job with the graphics and gameplay.

>>11526702
Just play the remake. Is fantastic.

They're both good
Original feels more replay able to me tho

>>11526682
>REEEE fanbases do not exist
Amazing!
Is this how the megaman fanbase stays hidden?
You fucks are the most autistic thing I have ever seen in my life!

>>11526685
>All games invent lore to justify gameplay,
True especially for 80s and early 90s games.

>Mario
LOL perfect example there is no lore
1) Bowers did bad thing
2) Stop him by completing multiple levels!

More modern games started to include real lore like Halo. Halo has real lore and a world that is not
>Cartoonish bad man did bad thing.
>Complete levels to defeat him!

PS: The lore deteriorated in every future halo game to the point that it is some incest based fat sniffing lobotomy at this point.

>>11526676
>The story is a excuse to push a game, the guy tries to find some deep lore of what essentially is a nonsense game.

This is every faggot online though.

"Lore" has terminally crippled people's ability to be interested in a form of fiction.

>>11526695
>This is every faggot online though.
Hmm debatable.

There are games who have deep lore I can not think of a good example right now.
System Shock?
Bioshock 1&2 ?
DOOM3? (the game play was ass)
Elder Scrolls???

There was a shift from non story based games to minimum excuse story games like in the 80s to games who take themselves seriously, I think System Shock was the first however I think halo actually was the most popular one out of them all.

You can try to say Half life however there is no real deep story in half life other then
>Wow things exploded and aliens!
>Also strange suitcase man!

Halo actually talked about the covenant as a real force.

>>11527548
It's dodgeable, I've done it without healing

>>11527528
*I'm grandfathering in twin pyramid heads since it occurs so close to the end of the game.

>>11527551
Yeah I know but it's really hard if you don't know what you're doing. I usually just use a medkit in the middle of the attack and then again when he stops. I think you need to tank through like 3 of the attacks to win, so that means 6 medkits?.. That's if you only use the rifle though. Actually scratch that, not a collectathon, feels more like a JRPG boss

>>11527569
The trick about dodging the lightning is that you have to use the strafing run (Strafe button first, THEN press run button), something never needed in the entire game and most players probably either forgot or never even knew existed

>>11527571
You mean like you should be holding both the strafe and run buttons? Nice. For some reason I feel like I read about that ages ago somewhere on the internet. Next time I replay SH1 I'll try beating the final boss without healing that way

>>11526776
That's more of an expansion pack.

>>11526958
>saving

>>11526571
What about all those fucking atari 50 games in 1 bullshit cartridges that just aped an ass load of other atari games, but worse

>>11527058
That's a lot more reasons than it having more bits.
