TOP DEFINITION
Hydlide
When two dicks merge into one. This only happens in the abyss.
"Holy piss! Those two penises just Hydlided!"

"Hydliding sets bushes on FIRE!"

"Naaaw, Hydliding in the midnight hour?!"
#hydlide#hyd#lide#merge#merging#dick#penis

>>5072610
The... abyss?

Does anyone have the Windows remake of this game? I have been trying to find a download link for a while, but had no luck.

Do I feel accomplished? No. I feel like this game just wasted my fucking time.

Virtual Hydlide was okay.

Hydlide 3 was okay-ish, too.

>>5072663
Original Hydlide can't have been THAT bad if it got all these sequels. Bet you it's one of those games where westerners hate it and Japanese people have no idea why the fuck they do.

>>5072674
It was originally made for computers and was pretty good there from what I've been told, but then it got a really shitty console port, and America only got the console port.

>>5072663
3/Super was actually kinda good, if flawed.

>>5072616
The stygian abyss maybe?

>>5072563
>Maybe it's pronounced

Hide Lied ハイドライド

>>5072801
Yeah, apparently he gets it correct. I think he must have known beforehand and just wanted to make that joke.

>>5072782
The console port isn't bad, it's just that it was a 5 year old game at the time burgers got it.
Super Mario Bros would've looked pretty fucking primitive had it been released in 1991, too.

>>5072832
>The console port isn't bad, it's just that it was a 5 year old game at the time burgers got it.
This. The only thing that sucks about Super Hydelide on the NES is the goddamned annoying as hell music. It does not have the scope or the polish of Legend of Zelda (which came years after the original Hydelide), and compares somewhat poorly.

Hydelide 2 is even better, and 3 is even better than that.

I haven't played Virtual Hydelide (it looks terrible), but my understanding is that it is very much like the first game, but with a randomized map. The first Hydelide game does not have a whole hell of a lot of replay value, once you solve all the puzzles and beat it, it is basically speedrunning time. Randomizing the placement of shit would give it more replay value.

Also, Jim's final resting place is in Melmond.

>>5072840

Virtual Hydlide looked good in magazines. The framerate is really low, and you often have troubles telling how far you are from the enemies.
The map is indeed randomized, but so are all the items except the importants ones (that you get after each boss), and even then... after you beat the first boss (a vampire, whose voice in a japanese commercial in reverse I think) you get a lamp, but sometimes you get a DX lamp, which is absolutely the same except it weights more. It's really puzzling.
And you'd better be lucky and find the dark sword for the dragon boss, or you're in for some really long fight.

But why did Hyde lie?

Zelda is a Hydlide clone

>>5073684
Zelda II is a Xanadu II clone.

>>5072840
Virtual Hydlide is pretty boring. The only thing really notable about it is that it's a full RPG made on a game engine meant for golf games.

I don't give a shit about the NES game because I don't like it, but this right here? This is my shit.

How odd.

>>5073965
What golf games are made with that engine? I've been in a golf mood lately, wouldn't mind checking one out.

>>5074043
Love it as well, bro.

>>5074043
Dunbine as fuck.

>>5074043
Same, man. I mentioned before it's flawed, but it had a certain something to it.
- The bizarre setting with craters to motherfucking space.
- The music being catchy as fuck. From the more rock-ish themes to the more solemn track at the tower of Habel, it just feels good.
- The (at the time) super nifty daytime transitions giving it that extra ambiance (even if it made shopping a pain at times)
- The open yet barren yet not empty world with enough stuff to reward exploring, specially when you don't know where to go the first time. The right size to take some time but not big enough to make navigation tricky.
- The storyline is nonsensical, barebones and far from engrossing but I find some amusement to it. Specially the space rescue part with the compass.
- IT'S A JOKE
- Sadly the Genesis versions uses a very brown and dead palette for the overworld compared to the other version's more lush green, but while I prefer the green, the dry panorama kinda makes it more poignant.

Lol
You know, as many times as I rented it, I could have bought it outright. Beating Super Hydlide without any guidance as a kid was pretty satisfying.

>>5075445
What the fuck, I had no idea there was a shmup called Undeadline. I wonder if that's where the indie game GundeadliGne got its title from.

Funny I'm still learning new things about old games all these years later. Gaming history is quite vast.

Hm.

Dieses Spiel ist Scheiße. Dieses Spiel fickt dich härter als das Leben!

Ugh.

Hm.

Easily the worst game I ever finished.

>>5081028
For me it may have been Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy which was thankfully extremely short.

Uh, yeah.

>>5077837
I know the feeling. I only just yesterday learned about the ST Falcon, a mecha from a Super Scope game. Looks cool, I'd like to see it make a WTF appearance in super smash bros someday. But yeah, I thought I knew basically everything there was to know about Nintendo history at this point. They still throw me a curveball sometimes though.

I really enjoy T&E Soft's "Golf" for virtual boy. Has great 3D effects. If you want a golf game, I really recommend NES Open Tournament (very hard for newbies to golf games), Hal's Hole in One Golf (also not very easy), or Wonder Classic on the wonderswan. Have fun mate.

>>5081663
You're very knowledgeable on 2d golf games, that's actually pretty awkard.

>>5081997
desu he's a lot more interesting than you

>>5072563

Hydlide 3 has good music at least: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn_AsVeqaJk

>>5081663
>I only just yesterday learned about the ST Falcon, a mecha from a Super Scope game.
Wait a minute, so did I. Were you in my retro rep thread on /v/?

>>5082102
Virtual Hydlide has a kickass menu theme, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1oTfdjFWKE
It has that somewhat melancholic Gargoyle's Quest feeling.

>>5082835
Gargoyle's Quest is melancholic? Huh.

>>5082191
Probably was that same thread, because it was someone recommending them for Smash, and I thought it was pretty cool. Hence why I went and ordered a super scope and some games (including ST Falcon's game, Space Bazooka). It's one of the few Nintendo hardware pieces that I've never used, so I'm excited to give it a try.

>>5081997
It's a genre that grabbed my attention recently. I like golf games, they're pretty enjoyable and can be a nice way to relax.

I mean to be honest, you're saying that it's awkward for someone who is on a retro games board, on a website for shut-in obsessives, to have an unusual amount of knowledge around an obscure or unusual topic? I don't know what you expect of /vr/, but a lot of the people here actually do play a lot of games, and consider it important to know a lot about the things they find interesting. If anything, it's worse that you would point out this kind of knowledge as being something to be taken in a negative light. Maybe you would have some ground to stand on in a more "normal" environment, but this is not that environment.

>>5083419
It was just a light joke, senpai. It's fine to be very well-versed in things you like.

>>5083429
smells like a backpedal but I'll accept your concession, all in the name of the game

>>5083448
>implying I would backpedal on 4chan
>implying I would even care

smells like a newfriend.

weird story, but a couple years ago i got hired to make lyrics and vocals for a swedish melodic metal band's demo they were label shopping, and I made one of the chorus of one of the songs with the lyric "we're living in a hydlide"

>>5081663

So DOES anyone know what Hydlide means? Is it the name of a place or something or is it completely inexplicable? I don't really want to play the game to find out.

>>5087485
The world is named Fairyland. I don't think the game explains what Hydlide is but I don't think it's a bad experience.

Hm...

Hm.

Hm.

Fuck.

URGH

THWOMP

>>5087485
Tokihiro Naito has said it's just a fantasy-ish title for the game/franchise, and that the word was taken from the names of two constallations. He's fairly certain the first was Hydra, but he can't remember what the second was.

>>5093038
That's interesting. At least there's actually an official explanation out there. I looked at a list of constellations though and cannot find a single constellation with anything that sounds remotely like "lide" in its name though so no wonder he can't remember a second one.

>>5072563
Hydlide, shadow of my life, ice of my loins. So wretched, so foul. Hy-dli-de: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Hy. dli. de.

>>5094101
This looks exactly like the kind of game that would inexplicably have a fan translation from years ago.

And it seems that it is.

Basically, yep.

Hm.

Yep.

What's with these weird bumps as of lately?

>>5096528
Who knows?

>>5094101
If you look at the cover it is obvious that the large L implies the start of another word. so, its a compound word that could have a few different pronunciations.

Hid-Lyde or Hid-Li-day

>>5096772
True but the nice thing about the Japanese language is that it ensures that all words have only one single pronunciation so we know just by looking at the katakana how Hydlide is pronounced and it is the way James Rolfe pronounces it in his video.

>>5072563
Mmmmmmmhhhmmmmnookahhhhhhhmmmmmph

>>5097098
Bane?

Kek

>>5096772
>>5096995
As a dumb child when I owned this game, I just said "hy-lide". Entirely incorrect but easier.

>>5098990
I also had some weird pronunciations for words like ocarina and Goemon among other things. It's like the child mind insists upon it.

>>5099004
I remember dumb kids having endless discussions about whether ocarina is pronounced "okarina" or "osarina"

Hm.

I thought that "Vs." was actually pronounced like "viss," and I guess when I said it, it sounded like piss, so I asked my mom for "Mario Piss Donkey Kong."

>>5100296
Still better than the idiots who pronounce every game with "Bros." in it as "Bros" instead of "Brothers." I remember someone in middle school who did that and he even said it for Super Smash Bros., where the announcer LITERALLY says the title in the game.

>>5072663
>Virtual Hydlide was okay.

>>5100450
Has anyone actually played it?

Maybe?

>>5100374
Also, for the longest time, I thought Bob-omb was "Bomb-omb" because that makes more sense, doesn't it?

>>5101090
Yes, actually. It's barely playable.

Hm.

Wonder how popular it was at release. Since I can see this as one of those games that just had an insane influence but it's unplayable after those influence happened. Tower of Druaga, Zelda, Ys, Dragon Quest. Sadly that's kind of the issue with super early 80's games. They tried to add weird mechanics that doesn't 100% work but others took it and fixed it.

Why are all Youtube video game people fucking weird? It seems like there's something legitimately wrong with this guy. Is there a single normal, well-adjusted video game person on Youtube?

I guess besides Classic Game Room.

I have no idea what you're talking about. ProJared is one of the more normal youtube gamer personalities, especially compared to people like Egoraptor, Caddicarus and PeanutButterGamer.

>>5103780
I used to like a guy called the Happy Video Game Nerd. Yeah obviously the channel idea wasn't very original but he had a good attitude. I think he changed the name to Stop Skeletons From Fighting and changed his focus to distance himself from James.

>>5104030
I think he’s one of the only youtubers that James actually subscribed too, or at least put on his recommendations

>>5109146
Makes sense, back then shitty imitators were popping up all over Youtube, and then suddenly comes this guy whose gimmick is basically just a love letter than AVGN.
He was pretty cool, I wish he had continued the HVGN thing.

>>5109520
:D

>>5086762
the manual for that game was so fucking cool as a kid. pro tip: on the title screen, disable one of the background layers or sprite layer to see the Falcon in the background. For some reason the title covers up the awesome artwork.

>>5110814
Oh, nice one, thanks!

>>5072563
I will say it now, the only legitimately decent hydlide game was super and the other ones simply never happened.

>>5073684
Zelda is more of a Tower of Druaga clone.

>>5072674
It's a nice precursor to Zelda and Ys. Basically a 20 minute game padded into a few hours by some grinding, some gotchas and some cryptic bullshit.

I've played both PC and NES versions, and they are fine.

For some reason people think that AVGN is a serious game reviewer though.

>>5111051
Having played Tower of Druaga thanks to the anime making me realize it exists this statement seems disingenuous because if anything ToD is similar to Bomberman.

>>5111321
Most people don't recognize satire unless there's a big neon sign saying "THIS IS SATIRE", and even then they have to look up the definition of the word.

>>5111602
Druaga was an influence on Hydlide with stuff like the slimes and combat mode.

>>5111636
Slimes came from Wizardry which pretty much everyone with a computer in Japan was obsessed with.

>>5111754
Wait, really? Wizardry invented slimes? There wasn't anything else before that? It just seems like a concept that's been around forever.

>>5111754
Wizardry had bubbly slime opponents but they weren't the default entry level enemy like in Druaga, Hydlide or Dragon Quest.
You'll encounter a lot more undead kobolds and kobolds.

>>5111767
I mean they got it in D&D with normal slimes and gelatinous cubes. It's just not a lot of Japanese people in the early 80's played D&D (hell I feel most of them didn't know what D&D was back than) but pretty much everyone there played Wizardry which was one of the biggest influence in Japanese games. So Hydlide having Slimes most likely came from that.
>>5111790
You fight them in the first level. Yeah you see more Kobolds and Skeletons but they are there.

>>5111809
D&D slimes are tough shits.

I struggle against despair.

>>5111809
>It's just not a lot of Japanese people in the early 80's played D&D (hell I feel most of them didn't know what D&D was back than)
Isn't Final Fantasy just D&D and the Monster Manual copy and pasted into a cartridge? Castlevania 2's japanese box art a D&D module?

>>5112563
Don't know about Castlevania 2. But yeah FF is just D&D in JRPG form with the monsters and spell charges. Hell Akitoshi Kawazu of FF2/SaGa talks about his love of board games which is why his games are all levels of fuckery. Just never really hear many Japanese developers talk about D&D just Wizardry over and over again with a tiny bit of Ultima as well.

>>5112596
Dragon Quest was based on Questron.

Oh!

>>5074043
i had this back in the and i never knew if i had a broken copy or not, but when chatting to other people would often require repeated tries to dechiper what was actually being said?.. i also had shining force 2 around the same time.. needless to say shining force 2 won me over compared to this shit.. was i just too lazy?

>>5114101
Well I wouldn't know but you'd be forgiven for being more enticed by a game as great as SF2.

>>5111790
Bubbly Slimes were encountered on the first floor of Wizardry, and were the weakest enemy in the game. It was the first game to use slimes as a weak monster, D&D and those mainframe RPGs inspired by it used slimes as acidic motherfuckers that could melt your weapons and all kinds of other nasty shit.

Hm.

>>5114101
why the FUCK does this board love ellipses so god damn much?

>>5116254
...And... What's the problem with them...?

>>5114931
This is something I feel like a lot of computer RPG's fail to effectively capture, is just how terrifying the classic D&D monsters were.

Like, when talking about D&D monsters, it often gets overlooked that about half the enemies in D&D are just regular things that exist in real life. Bandits, packs of wolves, bears, crocodiles (along with larger and more aggressive "dire" counterparts).

The actual "monster" monsters in D&D tended to be horrifying monstrosities that should be avoided if possible. Like, slimes are scary. They're big and squishy, but lack any internal organs so there are no obvious weak points. Pretty much the only way to fight one is to blast it with magical attacks, try to freeze it or burn it and hope it can feel pain.

>>5116254
...you... got... a... problem... with... that... buddy?

Hm.

>>5118596
Even when he over acted in Twilight Zone it wasn't nearly as bad as people love make fun of. Also while there are some nice Next Generation episodes overall I really feel Original is the only Star Trek that truly holds up fully. Helps how 2-4 movies are all amazing (1 has a good idea but it's just a tv show stretched to movie length so there's just a lot of pans of the ship and nothing else for long periods of time).

Hm.

Hm.

Is there any way to stop ghostbumping?

>>5121041
There is one, but it's not very effective considering I'd just repost the thread.

Furthermore, I doubt you can find a rule that it breaks.

>>5081663
Metal combat, Falcons Revenge is in my top 5 SNES games. I highly suggest trying it out. You can emulate and set your mouse to act as a super scope.

>>5121050
Low quality post always fits.

>>5121379
And never gets enforced. Plus, can't do anything about a post that has been deleted. I've saved myself a few times by doing this.

>>5121964
The system should keep count on how your post deletion and just ban you if you do it too often/too quickly.
Then again bans are already rather weak.
You have to wonder why somebody goes through all the trouble just to keep a thread like this alive.

>>5121978
There's actually already a system in place to stop you from deleting posts if you do it too often.

>>5122157
Doesn't stop ghost bumping on slow boards. "Once a day" will never be "too often".

>>5122331
Then I guess you should just hide the thread and ignore it.

Mmmhmhm.

VIRGIN BEN

fuck you guys for bumping this thread with shit when I'm genuinely excited to see some Hydlide discussion

God damnit, now that the AVGN is gonna review Super Hydlide it's gonna become a meme like Castlevania 2 or such. Fuck.

>>5125263
I'm genuinely surprised he's doing it after all these years.

>>5126056
Yeah, he's still doing it. Not well. But he's still doing it.

>>5126060
I guess I can't blame him for continuing to play the character that gets him the most views and thus the most money, but his heart just hasn't been in it for years. He should stick to doing stuff he likes, like horror movies.

ARGH!

Of coursh.

>>5125263
Castlevania 2 isn't a "meme"

Any and all ire towards that game is entirely deserved. It does much more wrong than it does right.

Wasn't his best episode but it sufficed

>played hydlide about a week ago on the nes
>it was genuinely alright
It was nothing groundbreaking, sure, but I don't see what's so offensive about it besides the grinding at the start and the Indiana Jones music.
Plus, the grinding can easily be fixed by turning on the "High-Speed Mode" in the menu, which doubles the speed. We also live in the 21st century, you can mute the game and turn on some of your own music.

>>5129413
It's just a meme because of how thoroughly James eviscerates it, even though that's literally part of his character as the AVGN, to nitpick okay games as if they're the worst things ever.

>>5129572
Hydlide was considered part of "the unholy trinity of bad NES games" alongside Deadly Towers and Heroes of the Lance long before AVGN was a thing, you newshit.

>>5129580
Nah, I don't think that's true. I've also literally never heard of those other two games.

>>5129590
AVGN even reviewed Deadly Towers, zoomer-kun

>>5129580
>long before AVGN was a thing, you newshit.
No it wasn't, you literal retard.

>>5129594
Why do you memers always use Japanese honorifics when you're trying (and failing) to be condescending?

>>5072563
Hyrule > Hydlide

>>5129612
Because they've sworn their allegiance to down syndrome-sama.

>>5129580

>>5129597
He's not wrong though. Seanbaby ripped Deadly Towers a new one back in the day, and Heroes of the Lance was infamous among "fantasy book nerds" back in the blog age.
While >>5129727 is absolutely right, it's pretty normal to take someone's word as fact unless you are very into some topic or got enough curiosity/patience/time to try for yourself.

>>5130928
You know what I'm curious about? Who the fuck is this "Scorpio" woman and what happened to her. Is she just an original contrairian that someone is meme spamming all over wikipedia or was it an actual interesting person. If she was any way decent she could probably make it as a meme youtuber now.

>>5130950
Skorpia? A reviewer in dragon magazine or something like that. I'm not from the US so only heard second-hand info about her.
She's an enemy in might and magic 3 though, heh, JVC was salty apparently.

>>5131361
>>5130950
What's this about?

>>5131925
As I said I didn't grow up with that so I only got second-hand accounts, but seemed to be a (somewhat?) famous/influential reviewer. I only hear her mentioned in older western RPG discussions though, so I assume this was like up to the early 90s?

Really drives one's mind to thought.

Janitor, if you're watching maybe you should just delete that post so that people stop it.

My fans out in full force it looks like

https://youtu.be/HOccLSB9EU8
It's up

>>5148196
it begs me to wonder when someone will suggest James to play STONEKEEP after Saturn Hydlide

>>5148196
That was... actually a good episode.

>>5148262
Better be, you wrote it Anon

>>5148269
h'haaaaa gotem
you're implying he's that youtuber, right ? shilling his own video?

>>5148269
It's a classic Nerd episode. I thought it was smart and I liked that focused on the games rather than doing skits. Except for the "On Bullshit" reading, but that was actually good. The nerd has ascended into scatological literature and philosophy.

>>5148272
No, I'm presuming Rolfe is stealing material from /vr/ (again)

MEANWHILE
the weirdest of things is that Joe from Gamesack was interested in this girl, too. And in the new Nerd episode, there was an "ASSSSSSS" scene that seemed like a reference to the parody Gamesack made of AVGN. what the fuck is going on

>>5148302
Wait what?
I never hear about Gamesack in any of this e-celeb drama. I hope they aren't subjecting themselves to some shit for relevancy. They are too good for that.

>>5148318
look up "gamesack parody" or whatever.
notice how he's mostly mocking these e-celebs in a friendly way, but the avgn part seems a bit more vitriol-fueled. Word is that Joe approached Cinemassacre and (Mike, who is the one that manages PR online) told him they weren't interested in appearing on the credits of the video or whatever (the other guys like MJR and HCG were cool with it).
Fast forward last year, this hair color bitch was doing a livestream of Castlevania IV, and Joe from GS was talking to her in the chat, giving him advice and white knighting her from the people who were calling her shit at the game.
Then fast forward to halloween 2018 and Mike Matei appears openly displaying that he's dating this girl.
There were rumors about him dumping Claire (his blond ex), but now it's confirmed.

>>5148332
I knew about the parody episode, I just never heard the other stuff. Joe seems like the "I really want to be e-famous" part of gamesack when Dave just wants to steal games from Joe.

It is what it is I guess. Isn't Joe married to some asian woman?

>>5148342
>Isn't Joe married to some asian woman?
it seems lately being married doesn't stop e-celebs from flirting with younger ladies

>>5148345
Why is Shaun King lusting after Lucy Lui in a cheerleader oufit?

>>5148345
he should take a cue from dave and hook up with some milfs

>>5148302
>>5148318
>>5148332
That bitch was on every Cinemassacre's video top comments years ago.
The absolute madman dumped his old gf for her. I bet he found her through the comments too.

>>5148456
They strangely resemble each other.

>>5148456
She's obviously trying to latch onto the Cinemassacre/james success by dating Mike. She would be on James' dick if he was available.

>>5072663
Virtual Hydlide looks cool because of the graphics and the random generated world. unfortunately don't own a saturn though

>>5148508
Saturn's emulator is pretty good last I heard. While you're at it you should also play Burning Rangers.

>>5148472
how and when did these two hook up? i swear i was watching her and she only had about 1000 subs

HE'S GONNA LET YOU FUCK HIS WIFE'S ASS

AVGN is an embarrassment now. Like an old clothing fad that never makes its way back into ironic territory. Shit is cringe. I can’t believe you never grew out of it

>>5148993
I actually hated him originally but have grown more tolerant of him over the years.

Am i the only one who watched the AVGN video and everything he bitched about i thought actually looked kinda neat.

>>5149063
Yes, we don't watch that shit.

>>5149058
Same. When I realized the swearing was just an act and there's actually a nice person behind all that I came to like his videos more.

>>5149063
His whole schtick is he bitches about things that aren't actually major issues. It's a satire of nitpicky gamers.

>>5149072
Except....ya know ....you do.

I just found out about this loser this year. You have been watching for over a DECADE!

>>5149101
how do we know hes nice

>>5147223
>Doom is gud
Ask yourself the same question, mate.

>>5149063
No you're not, especially in regards to Super Hydlide. I figured thst the fucking half wit was going to quit SH before even finishing it. When it comes to playing games, this guy is only slightly higher than DSP.

>>5149063
I think I would've loved Virtual Hydlide if I had it as an 8 year old.

>>5099004
>>5099135
>that dumb kid who kept calling it "ho ho" instead of "ho-oh"

there was always at least one, at school, at summer camp, at daycare...everywhere

>>5149063
>actually looked kinda neat.

keyword: LOOKED

try actually playing the game for yourself and you'll know how fucking awful it is

>>5149063
Honestly I want to try it but I never figured out Saturn emulation.

Even though the graphics are bad by today's standards, I think digitized photo graphics are pretty neat and I like the idea of fourth-gen game design in a 3D environment with sprite characters.

>>5074043
Own it but haven’t fired it up yet.

Seasick crocodile

Hm.

Thats right I got the material from here and theres nothing any of you can do to stop me. I will piss in your shit and shit in your piss and make you suffer from the pain of a thousand rejections a thousand failures thats your life.

I'd rather eat the roten asshole of a roadkill skunk and drown it with beer than be one of you.

>>5111809
>not a lot of Japanese people in the early 80's played D&D
Wasn't Records of Lodoss War was literally the author's D&D sessions dramatized?

>>5126069
The rental review videos are great because you can tell that he enjoys making them.

>>5152453
I heard that about Malazan so if both of these are true people sure like turning their D&D sessions into great novels.

>>5152453
Lodoss started out as an introduction to D&D via published transcripts in Comptiq magazine.
Then came the novelization, followed by computer games, manga, their own pen and paper RPG, anime etc.
Ryo Mizuno already lot of the setting and plot laid out before that.

Ah.

>>5149063
I mean sure it looks neat if you're a dumb 13 year old asshole who knows nothing about the state of the art of rpg/dungeon crawlers circa 1995. Believe me, it was shit in its day.

>>5153015
Sure it was, dude. Sure it was.

I hate this game...

>>5153147
I actually owned the NES Hydlide growing up. As simple as it was, child me just couldn't wrap his mind out of a proper RPG so grinding for EXP was something I just couldn't fathom. I don't think I ever even beat the vampire.

>>5153152
You got rid of it? I'd think it would be pretty rare and expensive at this point.

>>5103737
It literally is. It is the first game that ever actually tried open world mechanics halfway decently. Sam Houser once said "Every game developer who said he doesn't copy from Zelda is a liar". Welp, guess what, the first Legend of Zelda literally copied Hydlide and fixed a shitload of the early mechanics of the game. So basically, the open world genre exists how it does right now because of the existence of Hydlide.
That it get so shat on from e celebs is kind of a douche move. It probably plays like shit for todays standards, because Nintendo took the game, polished it and brought it out as the objectively better Legend of Zelda, but back when it came out it was praised because everything was new. You can't judge games from back then for todays standards, if we does such stuff, we must also rate "Untouchable" classics like Tomb Raider or Wolfenstein 3D lower and ignore everything they did for their specific genre, because the games after that did it better.

>>5118596
That's one of the reasons why the Abrams movies were so shitty. They are literally just a Star Trek version of someone who just know the memes. And is an awful director on top of that.

>>5074043
i should actually give it another shot again
the grinding feels enjoyable

>>5081663
>I'd like to see it make a WTF appearance in super smash bros someday.
it's a Spirit in Ultimate

>>5125146

>>5129657

>>5153172
I don't any of my NES games anymore. I had a few disaster moves and in the end, I didn't even have a working NES anyway.

>>5104030
He also got married and brought his wife into the videos he makes now, terrible idea. Just watch her video about DQXI's music, it's full of factually wrong information and political opinions.

At least James knew better and so far has kept his wife mostly isolated from his work.

>>5153971
To be fair Sugiyama is a fucking asshole for denying the Rape of Nanking. Every single sane Japanese person admits it happened. It's like if Germany were to deny the Holocaust and yet nobody ever takes old Japanese racists to task for this.

>>5154634
Oh shut up, if you study the history of the area you'd know mainland raped naking just as many times.

>>5154638
Boy you sure had a quick response to this, are you by chance Japanese?

>>5154640
Grorious Nippon Spilit.

>>5154638
Nice try at saving face, Kato

>>5154646
Suck my borus オカマ野郎.

Hm.

Hum.

Hum.

>>5147550
I find it funny that whenever someone says something about this particular tripfag they catch a ban.
I always get one when replying to this fag.

>>5152271
Here, you need this more than I do anon.

>>5154634
Nobody fucking cares.

>>5158148
t. Sugiyama

Hm.

>>5154638
>stfu people have been murdered in past so I can get away with it without admitting - Ted Bundy

Hm.

Sugiyama did nothing wrong

>>5159835
Even if he hadn't done the Nanking shit he's also a xenophobic asshole who replaces Dragon Quest's music with shitty MIDI music for the non-Japanese releases.

>>5159848
And where did this happen?

>>5159867
DQXI, most recently.

>>5159878
But the music is the same as in the Japanese version

>>5159938
Okay, maybe that's true, but he did make a symphonic soundtrack for DQXI which people have already made a patch for so in that case he's an even bigger dick for keeping that out of the game.

And it is DEFINITELY the case that he ruined the 3DS ports of DQ7 and 8 with this shit. Thankfully those have patches too but something needs to be done about this grumpy old fart.

And let me just add that while some of his work is good the original Dragon Warrior has the worst fucking battle theme I have ever heard in my life so it is fucking astounding that this man somehow built a career off that. He's no Uematsu, who was damn good from the start.

Hm

>>5160136
Okay and I just found out that the Japanese 3DS version did in fact have orchestral music which is why an orchestral soundtrack exists so >>5159938, fuck you, you are full of shit.

Huh.

FUCK Sugiyama.

Ha ha.

Ha.

Hm.

>>5114101
Shit, me too. I found this in a thrift store cheap years back and bought it cus woo, cheap and an rpg, but it has that issue. Always wondered if some chip in the cart was fucked cus text displays fine on emulators. It gets good later on too, sad my cart's weird.

>>5153614
Hydlide was always shat on in the west because it took so long to come out everyone had already played Zelda and thought Hydlide was just a crappy clone of it. Yeah, it's stupid, but it's not really an eceleb problem this time.

>>5160136
the original DQ/DW soundtrack is fucking great you pleb

>>5165279
It's garbage. This is how you do a NES battle theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsUdzKuXMFg

>>5161435
DQXI 3DS has midi songs like PS4 version.

>>5165325
Doesn't sound right.

Yes, yes, well done

>>5165298
you have terrible taste in music

>>5167150
Coming from the guy who likes Dragon Shit music that's meaningless.

>>5167162
>no u!
lol ok buddy

>>5167169
>getting so desperate that you read a "no u" in that post
Yikes. Someone's feeling insecure.

So Hydlide is when two dudes perform a double-anal on someone?

>>5167367

No, that's a O.M.I.S.E.

Yes thats enigmatic.
are you he? you re a pimp!

>>5169092
Quite possibly the only funny thing ProJared has ever done.

>>5103793
I don't know about what y'all's bar for abnormality is, but he's definitely cringy as hell. I've read the shit he deletes a day later on tumblr and was reminded of, like, nerds on mid 2000's anime forums convinced they're gonna eventually get pussy there. The fact that he looks like a flightless bird adds to the effect.
I don't know those other guys so maybe I'm just describing a tree in a forest.

Good ol' Hydlide.

>>5169912
Your guess is correct, they're all fucking unhinged. Anyone who makes their living off YouTube gaming videos is not going to be a socially adjusted person. The enjoyable ones are the ones who accept they're going to be nothing more than that and fully embrace it, instead of trying to convince themselves they're normal.

Sage

Huh.

Huh.

...

PAY THE TOLL

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Ugh.

>>5081032
collection-fags will say it's worth the money

>>5178327
Yikes. But I pirated it anyway, so whatever. Nice thing about piracy is you can't make the excuse "Oh, I wanted to play this game but it's so expensive to buy a physical copy!"

>>5178327
I actually own this. I had no idea it was worth something.

Hm.

Creepy stuff.

>>5178793
It's certainly not worth playing, that's for sure.

Yeah...

Yep.

anyone like the nes hydlide?

>>5182973
James sure doesn't.

>>5182973
I do. It's not a great game, but that's not really its fault. Newer games took all of its ideas and expanded on them. Of course Hydlide looks like crap next to Ys and Zelda.
Play it with the sound off.

>>5183407
However, play with this video on in the background for an enhanced experience.

Yeah...

Just think about it.

Hm.

Autism.

>>5186402
That's a load of crap.

Desperate.

what happened to Princess Sevenleaf's vocaroo post? I wanted to listen to it again :(

You know, with some practice I can get through the fighting parts without getting hit once.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE FUCKING SNIPERS
I CAN'T STOP GETTING HIT
