/vr/ - Retro Games

Never played it, but I remember when the media kept trying to make scratch 'n sniff a thing. And to think, kids today think 3D glasses are gimmicky...

What's the point of scratch 'n sniff in a game about getting pussy? The smell is the worst part of getting pussy.

>>2180961
hey I liked scratch n sniff stuff

>>2180963

>Not liking the fresh stonk of a dank ass puss

Makes my mouth water.

>>2181007

You probably like going down on girls, I assume?

I hate it so much that I don't even care that it means I hardly ever get a blowjob. I actually find it a worthwhile sacrifice if it means I don't have to deal with a dank ass puss. Stink vag kills my boner every time.

>>2180963
there's a smell for ass, too.

>>2181103

>somewhere a 10 year old boy was smelling artificial ass while stroking his cock to pixel babes

I'll confess, it was me. Anyone else?

I still remember the smells of that card.
2 smelled like sunscreen lotion
8 smelled like rotten cheeze
4 smelled like the ocean
9 smelled like chocolate
and 5... we don't talk about 5

>>2181086
Believe it or not, some girls don't smell and don't taste like much of anything either.

best girl coming through. I remember I used to do her route first so she'll just be in my shower for the majority of the game

>>2182076
>do her route first so she'll just be in my shower for the majority of the game
dude, that's brilliant. can't believe i never thought of that during all the times i've played it back in my teen years

Leisure Suit Larry games: the ultimate Seinfield effect.
somehow "it wasn't that bad" turned into "this was a classic"

>>2182140
She was even there when Annette was blowing Larry. awkward....

>>2182149
Not sure what you mean? Seinfeld was considered a classic even as it was airing. If you're old enough to remember the insanity that happened before the finale, you'd know what i'm talking about.

As for Larry, I personally think Larry 7 is not only the best Larry game, but I consider it the ONLY good Larry game. I never liked the other games in the series. They always felt very amateurish next to the other main Sierra titles. (I still can't believe the awful Larry 6 was in production the time as KQ6 and Gabriel Knight)

i genuinely enjoyed Magna Cum Laude and it's my favourite Larry game tied with Lounge Lizards

I'm sorry, /vr/

>>2182172
I just started it a few weeks ago and the whole mini game extravaganza isn't really for me. does it become actual adventure-esque at any point?

>>2182168

What makes Larry 6 so bad?

>>2182180
the same thing that makes them all fucking terrible

>>2182208
which is the male chauvinism

>>2182180
I don't wanna go into detail, but in general: The music is annoying and repetitive (the Bolero rip-off tune gets really grating really fast). The gameplay mechanics are terrible (separate icons for use and pick up is stupid, having to look AROUND certain objects just to take something off it is needlessly annoying). Graphics are just a jumbled mess of photorealism and overly saturated color pallets (which makes the pixel hunting all the more frustrating). Voice acting in the hires version (or I should say voice directing) is sub par. The layout of the hotel is needlessly confusing. Some puzzles are just lazy ("Larry please get me an orange because reasons."). Larry comes off as a total creep throughout the game (his little giddy cheer when he finds out Shamara's a virgin is the worst) and overall the game is just crass without being funny enough to get you to disregard that.
That's just my take.

>>2182273

That's good enough. Will probably never get around to playing any of these but I always found the various ups and downs in a long running game series interesting. Which game would you say is the best in the series?

Did everyone else have seperate save files for each time you got to see nipples for fapping purposes?

>>2180963

What kind of nasty un-hygienic slobs do you hook up with?

>>2182149

>no liking Seinfield

>>2182747
I already said it. follow the quote line.

What about Magna Cum Laude?
I loved Love For Sail and i'm mad about Sierra deleting Larry's next game and then left Al Lowe like he was fucking nothing.
I asked about Al Lowe about Magna Cum Laude if the game was fun for him, and he actually replied, saying that some parts of the game were actually pretty good.
It was a Q&A on reddit when he was involved on Larry's 1st remake made on kickstarter.

>>2183010
didn't he post a quick review on his website back when it was out, saying it was shit?

>>2183020
Yeah he did, he just said that some parts were good on Q&A, the rest is utter shit trought, especially the gameplay.
But i still like it because it was one of the my first games played on PS2, then playing on PC and found out that loading screen were completely fake and they were there just for the pictures

>>2183020
Found it

>>2182752
no, but i did have a save for the Clinton comedy routine. seeing as you had to sit there for 40 minutes just to get 5 points, i decided that every day i would start up the game, give it 5 minutes, then save, quit, and do it again the next day, until i got them points. In retrospect, it wasn't worth it. the only real incentive to getting 1000 points + all the dildos + all the easter eggs was you got to see the secret scene at the end, which you could have just as easily see by renaming some video files in the installation folder.

On a different note, i've noticed a lot of people didn't know they can put their face and voice in the game.
protip: inside the cd there's a file called beastar.txt. read it

best.

>>2182149
Larry 7 was always awesome, especially with that awesome original jazz soundtrack and humour.

Can't speak for the other games as I never played them properly.

>>2183657
try Larry Reloaded. It's still not as good as 7 but at least the art style is similar so it'll feel familiar.

>>2182149
What the hell are you talking about? Seinfeld is one of the greatest TV shows of all time! Don't know about the reputation of Larry games because the only people I know who know about Larry is my Dad and my older brothers.

Seinfeld is pretty much the Leisure Suit Larry David, the show.

>>2183815
No no no. Seinfeld was the most annoying show of all time.

"Do you want to order a pizza?"
"Sure, lets order a pizza."
"What do you want on your pizza?"
"I don't know, what do you like on a pizza?"
"It doesn't matter. Anything is good on a pizza."
"Well who's going to order the pizza."
"You order the pizza."
"You want me to order the pizza?"
Then Kramer comes scooting into the room.
Not classic.

>>2183818

>Take worst part of a show
>Don't call it a classic because of that

Yeah, well you can look at the last 15 years (most) of the Simpsons, and then not call it a classic, but that'd be fucking retarded. Because, it is a classic. As much as anything else. Everything is kind of shitty, just the least shitty things humans make are considered good.

I bet your favorite video game sucks in a lot of places too.

>>2183815
>Leisure Suit Larry David, the show
fund it.

>>2183818

protip: the DRV files inside the DRIVERS folder in the game directory are actually BMP files.

>>2180897
>Also, most 'passed the test of time' Sierra game.
That's not Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.

>>2184210
any sierra game you can get a dead end in does not pass the test of time.
you can't get a dead ends in Larry 7.

>>2184258
You can only get dead ends at the very end of the game, on day 10. That's pretty good for a Sierra game.

Don't get me wrong, I like Leisure Suit Larry 7, I just think that Gabriel Knight 1 has a better atmosphere and story, etc. I'm not going to bother even trying the remake though. The graphics look okay (though they have much less charm than the original), but the fact that they redid the voices and replaced Tim Curry and Mark Hamill is asinine.

>>2183861
What about a Curb Your Enthusiasm point and click adventure? Everything you do results in some confrontation where someone cusses you out and calls you a bald asshole.

>>2184546
>on day 10
what the hell are you even talking about? "Larry 7 - love for sail" has no dead ends. and it has no "days". maybe you're thinking about some other game.

>>2184546
>on day 10
i got a dead end in day 3. because the dude that came to buy my painting or whatever came on day one and i told him i'm not selling, and he never came back. ergo, i didn't have the money, and couldn't finish day 3. dead end.

So we all in agreement that Reloaded was shit, right?

Anyone knows where i can download the full Larry Casino? i found a download but it's only like 500kb, which doesn't seem to make sense, since the game has voice acting...

>>2185527
eh, it was adequate. But really the first one is not the game I would have remade.

>>2186716
well they remade it 4 times already, so obviously they disagree with you ;^P

>>2186716
which one would you have remade, then?

>>2184173
For which game?

>>2188501
the one in op

>>2183818
Stop, you can't write comedy, don't blame Seinfeld for your poor skills.

I'm one of the few that preferred the games that used a text parser.

>>2189827
Larry 7 has a sort of a parser.

>>2188474
Four.

>>2189827
>that comes later
So do I, I hope.

>>2181535

What's 5 ?

>>2185527
It was good, or rather, it wasn't bad. It's just that at the end of the day it's still the same game you played 20 years ago.

>>2191751
Except it has some new puzzles and a new character.
It was also pretty lame they didn't have voiceovers in the inventory.

i'd personally give a 6/10.

>playing Larry when I was about 8 years old
>didn't get any of the sex jokes
>playing Larry now when I'm 22 years old
>tfw still don't get any of the sex jokes

>>2192529
Maybe you should go have some sex.

>>2185527

i just really hate how it looks

>>2192840
well unfortunately, 2d graphics these days is almost synonymous with 'flash games' and 'mobile casual shit', so it's hard to shake that image when you see this type of remake, especially with the low frame sprites.

>>2193406

Probably right. Phone games have ruined a lot. It can still be done though. For example, I really like the look of the Deponia games but I can't put my finger on why I prefer that so immensely over the LSL remake.

>>2185527
I loved how Eve in the 91 version was a beautiful black woman, why would they change that??

is this the only Sierra game that lets you have speech and text at the same time?

>>2191032
Is the craps dealer's voice actor the Spy or is it just a similar-sounding accent?

>>2183818
Let me guess, you're 15 years old?

>>2182168

>tfw Larry 6 is one of my favorite games of all time

>>2183010
That's cool, he answered one of my questions on his AMA too.

>>2198172
it's alright bro. in /vr/ we respect different opinions ;^)

>>2183010
I actually really enjoyed Magna. My favorite part was the Summer Nights parody in the gay bar.

iUnderstoodThatReference.webm

Boy did I get in trouble when my younger brother saw me playing the game once I unlocked the nude girls.

Fuck quarters, though.

>>2197721
>you need to be at least 15 years old to appreciate comedy
not even him nor underaged, seinfeld sucked shit and there are much better shows with mindless laughing cues in the background available today.

>>2200315
there are barely any sitcoms with laugh tracks these days.
