games that have a split screen even in single player. Half the screen is basically wasted. Mario Kart with the map on the bottom half though I think is acceptable

fag op didn't accept the inevitable

>>10921293
Well that's not an "idea" as such; those games are designed around that scanline-based visualization region. There's nothing "more" really to display so they made the most of it, granted in a somewhat lame way. Mode-7 games are a different matter but even then a cropped region usually helped performance

>>10921364
top gear 2 doesn't have the split screen and it's a lot nicer to play

FPS games with gigantic maps that are like 99% empty. Like in Delta Force. There's huge maps with occasional buildings and stuff around the place but all of them are empty except the ones containing main mission objectives. You explore a lot the first time you play it because the maps kind of make you feel like exploring but by the end of the game you realise you were wasting a lot of time

>>10920487
Holy shit that is a good choice

>>10920469
It will look worse than a modern display.
It is just text so there is no advantage.
What is the objective here? You aren’t trying to enjoy the game by doing that.

lunar lander, also known as rocket sometimes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lander_(video_game_genre)
you can see it running on one of the screens here >>10920742

hamurabi was also a very common one at the time. not really my kinda thing but its not a bad game.

>>10921010
That depends, most versions of Hamurabi will require a famine to hit you to get the highest rating as technically you didn't starve them which is pretty shit design.

>>10921003
You think I haven’t used a display like that before? You’re mistaken. The green glow is everything.

For me it's,

The general feeling for some people (which I'm on board with) is that Fallout 2 is more open world, bigger and with a deeper story, but the gameplay is less well focused.

Fallout 1 has a more clearly focused world, story and gameplay feeling that just feels like a more well put together package.

Lots of people like Fallout 2 better though because of it's expansiveness and wider lore.

>>10921339
Mrs. Stapleton, no contest.
Her resourcefulness as Hub's librarian is invaluable.

I like 1 better since fast shot applies to melee attacks so it's really fun to play as a punch retard

great criticism, very insightful

>whittu piggu go homu
Even ignoring the forced meme-ness of this sentence, it comes off as child-like in its demeanor.

>>10920264
Loved their translations for the PSX versions of Lunar 1 and 2, they truly managed to make livelier dialogues. Some things, like the ABBA jokes, were probably out of place, but most of the time they were told by unimportant NPCs that would otherwise be talking about the weather, so it's not a big deal.
Their translation for Alundra was also very good except for things like the surfer guy, although in this case some of the jokes were misplaced in dark moments.
They seemed to be more restrained with the translation of Arc the Lad, but it was well done anyway.
I don't think their difficulty changes were really that needed, as they mainly resulted in enemies becoming damage sponges. The lizards from Alundra or the bosses from Lunar would never die regardless not being that dangerous.

>muh deadenders
Millions of males are "deadenders", that's why they need guaranteed access to subsidized surrogacy right now in order to secure their basic rights.

Said the person who celebrates the suffering and abandoment of countless human beings.

>TRANSLATIONS MUST BE 100% LITERAL EVEN THOUGH I DON'T RELATE TO JAPANESE CULTURE AT ALL AND ALL THEIR JOKES WOULD BE LOST ON ME REEEEEEEE
While some of the pop culture references were kinda cringe and obviously didn't age well at least they were fun. Politics and zoomer-speak are the domain of the troon, not jokes.

Im glad the old Nancy engine games are runnable on SCUMMVM. Got Stay Tuned for Danger to work and maaan the old 3d on the earlier games aged like milk but it still holds up.

Postan for HE

>>10920035
Thanks for posting, Cobb.

>>10919960
In Full Throttle, he isn't saying "I don't spelunk." He's saying "I dont's belong" in a Popeye accent. He doesn't feel like he should be in the game. This was before video game unions when you can force characters to do whatever

Monkey 3 supremacy

>>10920370
anon im whiter than mayonnaise. sorry to have triggered your fragile ego

lack of mirror ability is kinda crazy desu

>>10920096
Isn’t it not actually that great to multiplayer? It gets laggy if you split up

>>10920679
never noticed it as a kid but i have heard emulators struggle with it still.

>>10919958
I agree but I'm a Sakurai-purist so I don't know if my opinion matter. I genuinely tried all of them before I knew there were different directors and I just didn't enjoy any of them outside of Dream Land 1, 3DS Kirby's Adventure, SNES Super Star, and Air Ride. It's weird because I very much dislike Smash too.

>but it could've at least sat comfortably in second place
Anon it did sit comfortably in second place already. It sold almost 4 million units compared to the Master System's 2.2 million. (US sales only of course)

>>10919952
Europe and Brazil gave the Master System more worldwide sales, didn't they?

>>10919921

this is more advanced that gran turismo wtf

>>10919831
more like regular patches and needless civs to change things for the sake of change and for e-sports cred

still love it and am happy its still so popular tho

>/vr/ is anti DE
you retards would be lmfao

>Who cares if the game plays 100 times better and you can mod in the old campaign cutscenes/voicelines/ost? it's SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT

>>10919831
this game is very good but i get oiverwhelmed while playing by the amount of things i havo to do. in fact i just finished a game that won as italians
>>10919907
>yes

>>10919831
Balance patches are cancer

>>10921479
that is how RTS games work if you aren't playing vs a disabled person. it will always feel like you are struggling to do things fast enough because there is too much for a human to manage perfectly in a good RTS

>>10919923
You start over from the beginning when you get a game over. Each attempt you get a bit further.
It can be frustrating at times, but the sensation of slowly improving and mastering the game is incredibly satisfying. Even though you lose a lot, each new stage ends up feeling like a massive victory.
As you practice more and 1CC more games, your skill improves. Much of this skill is actually transferable. You eventually reach a point where you're so skilled you can 1CC a new game in just a few attempts or even on your first try.
As long as you play good games that reward skill, the process is quite enjoyable and fulfilling. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

>>10919697
Haven't gotten into many of these games because I never felt right playing a game with infinite credits.

1CC sounds way too sweating, but I don't know where to draw the line after that.

Some games are easier to 1CC than others. Contra and Super C are supposedly-hard games that are actually pretty easy to 1CC.

>>10919697
>Is it a realistically achievable goal for the average player?
If "the average player" is a shitposter asking "can i has 1cc" then no. Totally impossible.

>>10919697
i have 1cced most fighting games that i have really really liked, i have come super close to 1cc super turbo, jap edition but for both times gouki ambushed me,

for shooting games, the only one that i have managed to 1cc was twinkle star sprites, which happened automatically, i would play it with my neighbor a lot, who loved it, and so i would play alone too, and one day i managed to complete it, fully

Why do you care?

Anything Nintendo

>>10919675
Anything Nintendo, basically. SNES.

>>10921297
>>10921313
And yeah, what is the trick to driving the EO?

>>10921326
The trick is to learn the tracks and get used to start turning earlier in the corners. If you are emulating, you can map gas and brakes on the analog triggers of a modern controller. It is possible to do small drifts that last for about 1/2 second by slightly releasing the gas and quickly pushing again.

What does /vroom/ think of jogcons? Ever used one?

>>10921374
Interesting gimmick but NegCon is much more useful

>>10919527
>NeoPocket Gamedrive
Isn't this also limited by the fact that you have to install games to the 15mb flash memory?
Sure you can just put every game on the SD card, but it isn't click and play like with other systems.

>>10921275
You are right it isnt click and play you have to wait for the game to transfer from sd card to ram
Quite lame but its the only good option on og hardware

>ram
Flash memory

>>10921275
IDK, I'm fine with waiting 30 seconds every once in a while.

>>10919461
I got this same NGPC but I left it on a shelf and now one side is yellowed by sunlight. Always put your handheld consoles away from the sun.

>>10919413
get your thumb involved in the keys, start scratching with your pinky. beatmania is hard but stick with it

>>10919413
Rhythm game fanatic or just starting? It may take years until you can actually reach the higher levels

>>10919413
Lots of variables here...the ascii controller sucks and makes the game harder. The iidx "Konami official controller" or KOC is better, but acts weird with the PS1 games(besides 6th mix). Also if you're emulating and not playing on a CRT, you're likely experiencing lag. As the others mentioned as well, these games are just hard. I've been playing iidx for over 10 years and have never cleared a 12. The best advice I can give is to love to hate the game; you WILL keep failing and you WILL get mad, but if you can persist and improve, it is very fulfilling.

>>10920130
Thankfully, playing on a CRT through MiSTer with the controller plugged via SNAC, so no extra lag involved. As for controller, I live in a sanctioned country, so importing is not an option currently. ASCII is the only controller available locally. I used to play on a gamepad before, but at certain point it becomes too hard to remember what button does what. I have the same issue with Pop'n Music, but that's even worse there.

>>10920394
Ah okay, honestly you'll just need to practice then. The Ascii controller is stiff but not unusable. If the pic in OP is the only game you're playing, try to get more games to play if possible, because playing the same group of songs over and over can drive you crazy.

>>10919353
Timeline fuckery is old hat. The golden age of scifi was in the 50s-60s and you'll find 99.999999% of all scifi stories after that period are derivative. Go read some Harlan Ellison and Isaac Asimov, moron.

>>10919353
Whatever...

that's weird, because VIII's storyline is more complicated than most FFs before it, but the characters other than squall and rinoa are unmemorable

The story is pretty simple. There is an evil sorceress trying to compress time. Obviously that is a complex concept but that doesn't make the story itself complex.

I know it's technically 'Knuckle's' game, but it just doesn't feel like a Sonic game... can't explain why. The special stage is cool and a lot of fun tho.

The people shitting on the tether mechanic are either incels or grew up without siblings. It makes two player so much fun.

It's genuinely great. The reason so many people shit on the controls (which is why the game is fun) are probably the same people who think classic Resident Evil also has bad controls. That is to say, they're not very bright.

>>10919683
>Strange that this was the only half attempt at a Knuckles game.

sonic blast?

>>10919284
I prefer Sonic Crackaz
