Duh. It's an arcade game.

wish people didn't just reply in memes around here

>>10880697
Maybe you wouldn't get "meme" answers if you were not being retarded about very basic things you should be aware of.

>>10880728
>hurr durr all arcade game munch credits

>>10880731
yes thats pretty much the point of arcade games and before you can 1cc any given game you are gonna credit feed like theres no tomorrow

I wanna get into GnG. Going to play the Wii VC version of Makaimura Arcade. I wonder if I'm even able to get through 1 loop of this

This is what bullet-hell fags believe to be good design

sega gamers are just superior and require extra challenge

>sir, the PCE and AC testers are in the fetal position and crying but the MD testers have already beaten the game twice and are demanding you "make it harder", what do we do?!

I don't see retro gaming as a vehicle to inject nostalgia into your brain. The best 3rd/4th/5th gen games are way better than just calling them le comfy nostalgia fests. I personally see it as disrespectful.

>>10880415
You got me until the

I always wonder how would have been if I had choose the Saturn over the PS-of-shit back in the day.

>>10880435
Saturn is a failure of a console with shit games and nothing will change that.

Why are Saturn fans so sensitive? No one even mentioned Sony.

>>10880418
The shitposter was obviously ready: >>10880391

>>10880420
That post was in reply to a Saturn fan bringing up the Playstation completely unprompted (as usual).

>N64 games like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are getting romhacks to this day, to the point where SM64 has become the DOOM of 3D platformers
>Saturn and Dreamcast homebrew scenes are pretty lively too
>PS1 scene is dead and forgotten outside a bunch of translations per year
Goes to show that snoy consoles are soulless and not worth going back to

>>10880370
not even close to use full potential.
>game could look better and similar to DS titles with higher quality.
>It look as a first release title instead when no one knew what saturn could do.
the game on the pic is made on a console quite inferior to the saturn and looks better,so in reality saturn could do better stuff with the proper knowledge (specially handling dual core CPU/GPU which no one knew how to handle back then)

Well, youtubers said nintendo are evil monopolistic demons that never allowed anyone to ever port any of the games on their systems and also tortured devs who tried to do it with WWII interrogation techniques. Was I memed?

>>10880337
>You’d think Nintendo would have copyrighted their game engine
mate the devs wrote these games from the ground up in 6502 assembly

I'm assuming you're pretending to be retarded, and won't be playing with you anymore

>>10880351
>>10880340
They're using button "A" and "B" and "Start" and "Select", and the Nintendo color palette. If they wanted to, they could prevent the games to be on these systems.

>>10880374
Mate, Nintendo doesn't have ownership over:
>the alphabet
>"Start" and "Select", which Playstation uses anyhow
>6-bit colour

It's painfully bland

>>10880434
It's bland yet weird enough to be interesting at the same time. It's also unusually difficult for an SNES era jrpg which is the real draw here.

>>10880434
Fits right with jarpigs then

Post a thread without talking like a fucking retard next time, or don't post at all.

>>10880310
spent FOR-EVER grinding levels at some points in the game. it's alright

>>10880142
From those few years where a bunch of white boys who watched Ghost in the Shell got to make games with decent budgets

>>10880142
>sometimes it looks like you're in an fmv

Because it literally uses FMV backgrounds instead of static images. Shame gameplay is thrash with MGS tier depth but aesthetic is nice and some puzzles are really difficult

I love action games which use pre-rendered backgrounds, but I hate this series. It's all trial & error bullshit and coomer bait.

>>10880642
thrash is awesome so is death>>10880716

>>10880716
Youre not wrong, but games with PRBGs are automatically elevated nowdays and there's worse ones in this genre and gen

>>10880236
The other flavor of famibot should just get off /vr/ and do youtube videos

>>10880231
Yeah, how is he even allowed to have like 7 active threads that are just the title of the game or "yet another [country]jank"?
Shit gets as bad as "how can we save the saturn" or "n64 sucks" spam.

>>10880242
mhz autist, is that you?

>>10880249
/vr/ needs better jannies, I'm tired of regurgitated shit, famibot threads, famibot thread: commentary edition and /v/ level shitposts, and reporting does jack shit.

>>10880140
I had a lot of fun with it as a kid. Not only was it simple enough for me to understand but it a great two player game to play with my parents. Lots of good memories with this one.

>>10880079

Maybe the castle inspired the style and not the other way around.

>we don't know religion what the real vlad tepes was
We do know, he was Orthodox but later converted to Catholicism, albeit that may have been part of a deal to be freed from imprisonment.

This thread is made by a retarded mentally ill Colombian NEET in his 40s known in /vg/ as Cris and in /int/ as 0n. He’s an “aspiring” gamedev who has been working in shitty tech demos for more than a decade and has made zero progress. He’s an extremely pathetic version of that kid who called himself a “lazy genius” back in middle school.

This is who you’re talking to.

>>10879984
Vampires are libertines. An interest in the modern decadent movements in the West makes perfect sense. You’re illiterate, uncultured.

>>10879943
Wait?
Is it really?
30 FPS is especially bad on modern displays, at least they have no motion blur on CRT when playing 30fps

If you can’t tell the difference between 30 and 60 you’ve been lobotomized

Still the GOAT JRPG, one of the few (the only one maybe) Tales of that doesn't aggressively waste your time with random encounters or huge hallway corridors and ridiculous backtracking (second half of Abyss)

Nice story focus but still very gamey and nice quick Zelda-like dungenons. Cool action combat but still rather clunky and methodical and not too obsessed with trying to be DMC-lite

Maybe THE "shonen style" JRPG cast and an actually normal Chad protag who doesn't have long hair in his face, isn't an emo, doesn't wear girl's clothes, isn't an edgelord (not a total idiot either)

The 30/60FPS thing isn't that bad unless you literally play one right after the other, side by side.
I've played through the PS2 version countless times and grew up on the GC version. I'm content to play either at this point, but my annual playthrough is usually on the PS2.

It's a still from one of the fmv movies. Probably no spooky looking Maria ones.

>i was ''Le Raped'' and now am depressed and suicidal: the character
she is a prototype for all the shitty characters you see in the ''psychological'' indie games

>>10880208
True

>>10879907
These are good covers.

>>10879907
You can see where they had redraw the trace on his Buster arm on the EU cover to 4 but it's so weird how they re-drew his other hand to have 5 fingers.

>>10880818
I'm surprised he was allowed a gun on the cover in the EU.

>>10879907
He looks like a stoned retard in the euro releases. It's better for marketing to have him look determined.

>>10880845
Why?

>>10879819
was this the first ultima to not have a retarded camera perspective?

>>10880893
in isometric view, yes.
graphically this was the best Ultima of all, the animations are great.

>>10880869
Running and jumping bits are doable with a mouse, if you play the patched version.

>>10880198
fuck the rules

>ah yes thats what Ultima Needs, to become Super Mario!
the exact moment I knew Rich Garriott had gone insane

>manufacture and distribute own equipment
>huge advertising budget
Some other factors helped but these are the big ones

Checks out. Codify it into the cultural lexicon, it's the objective truth now.

Wonder how much worse it's gotten.

>on the system for westerners.
what does this even mean

where does the maybe come from? was it a traslation error?

>>10880160
The codriver prepares notes before the race. If there’s some uncertainty about whether the driver should actually take the turn at the expected speed, then it’s a maybe.

>>10880002
Wrong. Need for Speed port is great. F1 Challenge is great. Manx TT is great. Picrel is great but makes daytonafags seethe for taking more skill than the arcade version.
Also it's forgotten now but Andretti Racing was a big deal when it was new.

i love golbez battle sprite in ff4 however any 3d stuff you see if you google him looks gay as fuck, just generic overdone fantasy armor

>>10879858
Shut up boomer, your sperging out is worse.

"Post characters you think look cool" doesn't have the same meaning.

HNG64 was extremely expensive and the graphics were dated on arrival. They would need to redsesign the whole thing and release some actually excellent games. Even in the arcades that did carry HNG64 games, the titles were not popular.

And with 3D games you're talking exponentally more expensive cartridges than MVS/AES. A HNG64 console cartridge would be bigger than the biggest AES game and make those look inexpensive. Buriki One is double the size of KOF 2003--around 1300 megs. SNK did plan for a HNG64 home console that would have used CDs but even if the HNG64 was successful I doubt it would have gotten much traction when arcades were stagnating and the fighting game boom was ending. Seems like they were fucked no matter what they did.

>>10880867
The Hyper Neo Geo 64 didn't have time to mature. The developers didn't have time to learn and fully push the hardware to the limits. Just look at early MVS games compared to later MVS games. Huge difference once they mastered the hardware.

Yes the HNG64 wasn't perfect. But the main issue was that Arcades in Japan didn't like the Hyper Neo Geo 64 because it wasn't a multi-game cabinet like the old MVS. Space in an arcade in Japan is at a premium. When SnK launched the MVS, arcades gave it a chance because it could hold up to 6 games per cabinet. It was never done before. Multigame cabinets was SnK's signature thing, and what they were known for at the time. Getting rid of that was dumb.

Not sure what the issue is with cartridges for home consoles. They could just use Zip Disc cartridges or something similar. Those max out at 1GB or 2GB . Much bigger than a CD which is 700mb limit.

>>10880730
>PCFX
Didn't NEC initially intend to release a 3D video card for it? Only to drop all plans when the PC-FX bombed hard?
IIRC it was built like a PC on the inside, with expansion slots.

No one mentioning the lack of RAM causing animation cuts to any game over 96mb?

>>10880674
You're thinking of the Saturn.
