>Expresso because she can't jump on enemies
are you sure of that? Or is the collision detection just fucked making it really hard to do?

>>5526896
meant to reply to >>5526882

>>5526896
Nope, Expresso literally can't. It was like that in the original game, as well.

>>5526905
damn.. all these years of trying..

no

Not really, especially if its just dist2, italy, and standard maps. Might be fun if there was like knife arena, climbing, or other fun maps. Would rather it be something like sven coop.

It's not nice to shoot people.

>>5526808
I'm personally more oriented towards "standard"/defusal/hostage stuff but it'd be more stuff like Mill, Strike, Lite, Fire, Oilrig etc. with some NIPPER maps and other slightly less serious custom stuff thrown in.

I like fun maps/gamemodes too but would prefer having those as options that players can nominate in chat, then the majority of the server would have to vote for them in the RTV or end-of-map vote.

>>5526808
>Might be fun if there was like knife arena, climbing, or other fun maps.
jesus fuck no
left classic CS exactly because there were no more normal servers, everything was either meme mod-ridden or 24/7 dust2

what would be actually good is a server with normal Counter-Strike gameplay but with both standard and custom maps (that still play like normal CS)

Not really. Vehicular combat games were a direct result of 3D hardware being standard but dual analog controllers not being standard.

Twisted Metal 4 is a pretty good album, that also comes with an alright game. I got a multitap for it, but I usually couldn't get my brother and the kids across the street to all sit down and play it. The special kids down the street decided Dragula was called "Dog Pounder", because they interpreted some of the lyrics that way:
>Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry

I hated having them over because they wouldn't stay still and let me play Neopets, even if I put them in front of another game. I think one of them scribbled a whiteout marker on the door of my GX TV.

The genre never really went away, if you count games like World of Tanks and WarThunder. Planes are more fun. I started playing WarThunder just because there wasn't a Star Wars game to play. Disney really fucked up there. A whole crop will not have xmas morning video game nostalgia for their product. The episodes are pretty good tho.

Before rocket league I would have said absolutely fuck no, but I wonder if that game helped bring back the car action genre back.

>>5526593
I did, I always did. I took the time to carefully read every word in the manual before I put the game into the machine. It was like a ceremony I conducted before playing a new game.

>>5526715
Because you haven't made it yet.

>>5526593
Depends on the situation, I prefer to read the manuals if available. Sometimes it's hard to find them, for example, I find FDS game manuals aren't easy to come by.

>>5526593
Exactly what kind of casual do you think I am?

>>5526715
Because poor bandwagoners haven't made one and also teh law?

>>5526593
Definitely not before first play, but I would regularly page through the manual the same way a kid pages through a comic book, they were an endless source of imagination and entertainment for me even before I could really understand them.

>>5526529
Tomboy would make more sense as the default personality since almost every NPC in the game treats you as a boy.

>>5526529
Accurate description of my GBC playthrough

I hate waifufags with passion. They aren't any better than furrys.

>>5526575
Sexy is the strongest one

>>5526784
Obviously, but not exactly the one that makes sense plot-wise.

>>5526458
>When people give me strange
lol When people give me strange

i would like to see that

>>5526471
MAYBE YOU GET CHANCE! :)

Are you using the Rags 2 Riches mod?

>>5526351
you are not supposed to kill everybody

>>5526351
is this worth playing? all I remember is everyones face looked wobbly.

>>5526293
I've been trying to do similar stuff for games myself. If I play anything now, I limit myself online to tools that I would have had at the time-- the manual, scans from a magazine, etc. It's fun, but I don't know if I could go full media blackout like OP.

OP was never heard from again.

>>5526258
Only casuals play by 20th century rules tbqh

>posts game released in 1982

If you want RPGs that are authentically 70s you're going to want to learn about PLATO

He's more of an attention whore than Sevenleaf

Genesis was the original apparently, I beat it several times as a kid but now i doubt I could

The Genesis version is definitely the better of the two especially the music--way funkier. I also noticed the SNES version is pretty rare and cartridges command a rather high price while the Genesis one is easy to find and cheap.

>>5526305
>>5526753
I tried savescumming a roguelike with git and I still couldn't win.

>>5526249
This. The other available PCs becomes NPCs in competition with you and they level up parallel to you so that if you get in the wrong position with the wrong NPC you can have a basically unwinnable battle on your hands

>>5526251
This is also true although my mind went the other way towards thinking OP might like some of the old school point and click adventure games where you absolutely have to keep track of branching paths and multiple saves to backtrack if you don't want to get stuck

He's more of an attention whore than Sevenleaf.

>>5526206
7th saga

>>5526762
You have to embrace losing. That's sort of the point of the genre. It's not necessarily that much easier to win with save scumming because you can still permanently fuck yourself over. Bjt it sucks the tension and actual fun out when you approach it like an rpg with save states.

Each time you die, you learn something from that failed run and figure out new kinds of strategies to deal with the shit you run into. At first they can seem like slot machines to get the right skills or items, but over time you realize it's really your skill as a player at working with what you do have on hand that is what gets you wins and really shows how incredibly fun the genre is. Bear in mind when you're playing Nethack and want to rage quit because you think the RNG is the reason you're losing, there high level players can have win streaks of multiple games in a row. The best player's is 38 ascents consecutively if I remember right.

>>5526760
sorry retrobit shill I'll let you get back to work

>>5526198
This seems like a better purchase pairing with the Mega SG than the shitty 8bitdo controllers. Are they really as good as they seem?

>>5526198
>the word
Shit?

>>5526852
8bitdo controller is amazing. Quit being so dramatic.

What truly matters is that it can last. No matter how good a controller feels and performs if it's gonna shit the bed quickly it's not worth it.

>>5526174
It's also my favorite and probably my overall favorite NES game. I think the Sypha ending is the best one. If you can get Sypha's lightning orb weapon and hold on to it, some difficult later stretches become much more manageable.

>>5526210
Grant is definitely a lot of fun. I can't wait to try him out some more.

>>5526242
Yeah, it might be my favorite nes game too. Thanks for the advice on Sypha as well.

>>5526174
nes or famicom version?

>>5526354
nes

A new one of a series that already had a thread!
>>5526529
Don't you love jarpigs?

>>5526538
You're not making your case well with your obvious hatred of the genre. RPG generals aren't a bad idea - keep it civil and you might get your wish

>>5526160
Honestly if the mods would just prune some Stale bait threads and make an emu general it would really up the quality here.

We don't need an "emulation" the lead for every post 5th gen console and hand held.

God damn I fucking despise /shmupg/. those faggots don't even fucking play shmups, they jerk off iconoclast constantly as if he represents them all. Besides they're so retarded they get mad at someone called ICONOCLAST not conforming to their idiocy lmfao

>>5526543
>how dare you dislike the best genre ever!

>>5526172
what
>>5526113
it's ok, is not better than goldeneye
also check the ps1 version, is a different game

>>5526113
If this is the game that I think it is, the starting pistol is very satisfying. You could also play against AI in multiplayer right?

>>5526586
yes, it supports 4 bots

>>5526113
They did their best to copy Goldeneye, while bringing Perfect Dark improvements like bots for multiplayer. Never got recognition for some reason.

The single player experience was not very good. Classic EA outbidding on a license and fucking it up

>>5526868
Resurgence in bad indie platformers that need to pretend there is a reason for new 2D platformers to be created when the genre has already been perfected and any sane person would just play the already perfect 2D platformers and seek novelty in their life elsewhere.

>>5526550
>still not including the lakitu cloud as a SMW powerup
yawn

It's just fun to play.

>>5526868
The internet generates contrarianism. People need to have "hot opinions", etc.

>>5526029
>laughably easy
Are we including the Warp Levels here? I could never clear Totally Tubular, nor could anyone I knew

>>5526039
Wow you are smart and the life of the party.

>>5526058
I forgot to turn on my trip. Feel free to filter it.

What is the point of a copypasta if half the stuff isn't true and half is?

>>5526097
I just copied it from https://www.reddit.com/r/GloriousCRTMasterRace/wiki/misconceptions

You know I had to sage and report it to em.

>>5525802
A better question would be: what HAVEN'T RPGs ruined?

>>5526028
Buy usbgdrom or Chinese clone gdemu and stop the collector retardation. You can sell 1 or 2 games to pay for it.

>>5526028
>but being a collector is so god damn expensive.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Would you go to a vintage car museum and tell the owners "you spent HOW MUCH?! They're old cars retard, why would you preserve that 1971 Plymouth GTX?"

>>5526849
This

I spent $1,150 to complete my Sega Saturn collection but that's only because I recently received a 6 figure settlement from milk truck accident when I already make $68k a year. No kids, no wife. Thank god.
