/vr/ - Retro Games

For retro some stuff I suggest:
Metal Max Returns
Breath of Fire IV
Shin Megami Tensei: Soul Hackers (3ds)
Romancing Saga
Live A Live

Not retro but I really can't suggest the ps2 and ds Shin Megami Tensei games enough, they're really why I love this genre so much in all honestly.

SMTI is better. Despite SMTII having somewhat better mechanics and interface that doesn't save the fact that it is ten time more tedious to actually play through. SMTII's backtracking is already shitty and when the combat is only barely better then SMTI it doesn't justify it as better. Both have shitty combat but SMTI doesn't have bullshit like the twelve pillars.

From a plot and atmosphere perspective both are excellent though.

Good game but its actual rpg mechanics are rather shallow. It does a lot of cool things and was the main inspiration for Resident Evil so I say give it a try.

>Does zelda on the snes count? Regardless that's a must play. Just for the epic title screen.
I feel like I was transported to 2005 after reading this. I didn't know someone could use epic unironically at this point.

What is your favorite old school character design?

For me it's Aleph from SMT2. He just looks fucking awesome.

Shin Megami Tensei II is pretty cool if anyone wants a cyberpunk dungeon crawler.

Actually, it's this dude.
