/vr/ - Retro Games

Soundtrack makes it unplayable.
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

The soundtrack is precisely what makes it replayable.

Quake 1, Team Arena/Team Fortress mods by faaaaar

>>2727124
WoW... thank god I finally escaped my raiding guild back in 2008. I think I had some 300 days of gameplay total. Granted most of that was just being logged in to chat while working.

>>2727138
It's only good to pick up once a year for maybe 30 minutes at a time.

>>2727124
>GameCube
>best port

How? Dreamcast is a portable NAOMI, which is what the arcade version runs on. GC and PS2 versions suffer from slowdown and worse controls.

>>2727315
I have more slowdown on the dreamcast verison than my gamecube version, might just be my dreamcast tho

gran turismo 2 for sure

>>2727315
well the dreamcast has less ram than the naomi iirc

>>2727124
Probably Phantasy Star Online

>>2727315
This

>>2727324
I'm sure it is

wipeout 3 special edition & wipeout pure/pulse

The only thing that stopped me from playing, was Fire Pro Returns for PS2

Over 100 hours in this fucker, don't ask me how.

>>2727315
It's because OP secretly wanted to make a gamecube thread.

>>2727417
Good choice friend.

>>2727124
Mine

>>2727417
how?

Tied between metal gear solid 2 and Final Fantasy X. I really like/liked the story..

>>2727472
You would love Star Ocean: Till the End of Time on PS2. I love Final Fantasy but it had nothing on that rpg.

This has to be a troll thread. The GC version has slowdown in areas that the DC doesn't. Plus, with the DC, you can use that sweet VGA.

>>2727124
Phantasy star 2 hands down.

Gran Turismo or Gran Turismo 2.

>>2727124
Couldn't tell, maybe FF6.

Or Super Metroid.

Probably Tekken 3.

I did play Pokemon Silver until the battery died at about 350 hours, but I still think it's less. I've played Silent Hill for hundreds of hours as well.

>>2727124
I must have at least a good 70-100 hours into WipEout 3. Probably 50-70 in 2097.

>>2727858
You can do 480p over component on the Gamecube version when you pay it on a Wii but still you can't beat Naomi games on Dreamcast.

This by far. Still play it once or twice a week to this day. Love trying to shave milliseconds off my records and the power sliding and controls are just perfect.

Well as far as retro goes yeah probably Sonic Jam, which is kind of cheating since it's a lot of different games.

>>2727124
FFVII

SSBM, Resi 4, Halo 2.

Also Super Mario World.

>>2727124
Super Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium.

I've been playing it for decades and still would take it for a desert island if I had to.

This right here. The only true answer.

>>2727221
There's a point where quake becomes like a second home.
I feel more familiar with most quake maps than with almost any real life location. Especially the many bases from Team Fortress.

>>2728503
Good taste

>>2728534
Blizzard are specialists in making those "suck in a large part of your lifetime" games. For me it's Warcraft 2 battle net edition, but played a lot of diablo 1 and starcrfat too.

I've put an absolute ton of time into this game (still working towards that 20k CRAZY ranking, my highest so far is 14k and I need to study a better route than my usual).
but it's probably not my most played /vr/ game

my most played /vr/ game is probably one of the KOFs, 98 or '02

>>2727129
I don't even like the Offspring (actually, I think most of their songs are kind of shit), but All I Want is a thing of beauty.

but if the soundtrack really bothers you, it's not too hard to replace the ADX files and burn a disc with your own soundtrack
there's other issues with that though (your disc isn't as nicely optimized anymore, DC's 6x CD vs 12x GD read speed and Crazy Taxi streams level data constantly, etc)

Operation flashpoint and homeworld 1&2 for single player and medal of honor 1 in mp

>>2727124
Really got obsessed with this online play. Counterstrike was another one that ate an absolute ton of time.

>>2728629
There are still people playing Myth II online and it is amazing.

I think it's got to be Super Mario World.
This game is my own miniature garden, I can always come back to it and have fun playing for hours, even if I already know the whole game by heart.

I have completed 100% files several times.

Other than that, I can imagine some fighting games I'veplayed for hundreds of hours as well, mainly playing VS with friends for hours and hours, stuff like SF II, Alpha 2, Fatal Fury Special, but I think nothing tops SMW. I still do a yearly playthrough, sometimes several times. It has something that makes me want to keep playing, a mixture of thick nostalgia and really good gameplay and design. Even if I know the game by heart, I can always take different routes through levels and on the map, so it's not always exactly the same thing.
For some reason I never got into SMW hacks. I figure I'd rather play other games instead of romhacks, but I'm sure I'd enjoy these, too.

>>2728654
Anon, you've just made my Friday.

Either >>2728474 or pic related. I would love to play these games for the first time again, what an experience.

Super Hang-On is an honorable mention, but I stopped playing when I beat all of the courses. Lumines or SSB:PM are probably my most played modern games.

Overall, retro only, some candidates are

SMB1
Nethack
F-Zero X
Mortal Kombat 1&2

In the last year I dunno how much time I've sunk into World of Xeen but I don't feel like I'm anywhere near the end, for time spent on a single play through this may take the cake.

>>2727129

You must not have played Jet Set Radio Future.


UNDERSTAND UNDER-STAND

Have fun. I get curbstomped in competitive but people still play coop missions. Just beg them to not give you the dwarf because you know you'll fuck up and bring shame to your family.

This. Even just looking at this picture puts the battle mode theme into my head.

>>2728701
Jet Set Radio has a large and great soundtrack though SWEET SOUL BROTHA.
Crazy taxi is repetitive as fuck.

>>2728594
>but if the soundtrack really bothers you, it's not too hard to replace the ADX files and burn a disc with your own soundtrack

may try that one day

>>2728693
After almost twenty years playing nethack I think that one takes the top spot for me.

Either Unreal Tournament or Age of Empires II

>>2727124
This and every other version.

If mods and sourceports count then Doom, I've been playing that pretty consistently on and off since 2008.
