It's not even the same game

Doom on the Saturn.

>>7721065
what was so bad about this one besides dual analog being crap compared to a mouse?

>>7721214
>mfw even the 32X got a better version of DOOM than the Shiturn

How will Shiturniggers ever recover?

>>7721309
no quick saves (only missing on the PS2 version)

Imagine playing this game without a mouse and on a 2 mhz CPU.

>The game doesn't support a party systems, leaving player only able to control the Avatar - who is defaulted to their male version and who cannot be named.
>Both the introduction and ending have been greatly reduced in size, and are limited largely to narrative text rather than animations.
>The game world is much smaller than the original, and there are far fewer NPCs - all of whom lack daily schedules. Many characters have been replaced or altered drastically to conform to the new story, and the amount of dialogue in the game has been reduced.
>The combat system is less automated and plays similarly to many action-adventure games. To showcase this aspect of the game, a number of dungeons have been added to the world map and most plot-important items must be retrieved from them.
>The game is divided into outdoor and indoor maps, which prevents the player from using the isometric view to look inside of unentered buildings.
>The spell-casting system is streamlined such as to exclude reagents and spell purchasing, and there are only sixteen available spells instead of seventy-two. Spells not seen in the original game have also been added, such as Water Walk and Lifting.
>Conventional ship travel is not available, limiting exploration to islands which may be reached via an item known as the Magic Boat. The Moongates are also completely non-functional throughout the game.

>MechAssault takes place in the BattleTech universe, a science-fiction universe that often centers around pitched battles between human-piloted walking, heavily armed and armored machines, called BattleMechs.

yeah you're right

>>7720910
GTA2 on PS1 (and GBC). I can't fathom ever trying to play it without a keyboard.

>>7721505
It sucks, but it's nice to play when you want to replay ultima vii differently.

>>7721483
This floors the shit out of me, because this port came out late in the SNES's life, so the mouse had long been available.

The Playstation port had mouse support.

>>7721615
There wasn't even a SimCity on the PS1 (unless if you're talking about SimCity 2000).

C&C on the PS1. All the normal problems of an RTS on console, plus taking fps to fpm with every new unit.

>>7721627
Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. I'm barely awake here, I for some reason thought that was the SNES port of Simcity 2000 (which is kinda bad), didn't people like the port of Simcity?

>>7721505
>>7721598
I vaguely recall that the Gameboy version of Ultima 7 was supposed to be pretty decent, ironically.

>>7721723
Ultima VII wasn't ported to the Gameboy. The GB had a spinoff series called Runes of Virtue, which were Zelda clones.

>>7721483
The music is godtier comfy tho

>>7721545
only thing I remember was the konami code gave you back 25 health

d-pad only

and it worked on the Orange Box version

>>7720910
Daytona USA. Played it once and immediately swapped it for Sega Rally.

But it didn't. It was literally a launch title.
You're probably thinking of SimCity 2000, I haven't played it so I can't say anything about it.

>>7720910
>ITT: Shit console ports
99% of all console ports

>>7722947
wow you really stuck it to those stupid console sheeple there, what a CHAD!!!

>>7722729
Fuck it was bad. Looked unbelievably awful, felt terrible to play, had a massive loading screen between crossing the river, and took away Freeride Extreme to replaced it with a garbage racing mode.

>>7720949
Still fun to play.

>>7720910
It was a bit of a shambles

>>7721545
How I played through Half Life 2 back in the day. They used some black magic to be sure.

>>7721591
I played all 3 versions, first the PS1 port, then the PC and finally the Dreamcast.

are you agreeing with him or disagreeing, multiple different games can be set in the same universe
or are you claiming mechwarrior, the mech sim, is the same as mechcommander, the rts, which is the same as battletech, the tbs, which is the same as mechassault, the console tps
also weird that you never, ever see mechwarrior threads here considering how many people claim to be fans

>>7720910
I haven't played it on PS1, but I've heard that NFS Porsche Unleashed was dogshit compared to the PC release.

Technically not a port, but an insult to the originals nonetheless.

>>7721532
Yeah, the PC port was even worse, they transformed it in an RTS.

>>7723948
Sounds like an improvement

>>7721028
that came free with my OG xbox, and I can see why it was dogshit

>>7721545
Came here to post this.

I mean they tried but, shit, why?

>>7725204
It's one of the only stock games that actually uses the RAM upgrade. It's still not awesome with it, but you get a far better sense of what they wanted to do, and just didn't have the resources to accomplish

>>7721065
>>7721309
This game consistently runs at sub 20fps and it's incredibly blurry, I consider it unplayable.

>>7722989
They also took out the black gas station attendant

>>7721545
Honestly this one deserves credit for running at all, even if it's hardly a great experience. Kind of funny how the Xbox got a port of HL2, while the PS2 got offcuts of the DC port of HL1.

>>7721028
It's not a fucking port

>>7720910
WRONG

>>7725758
>>7721065
Damn is it that bad? I was considering picking it up since it refuses to play properly on PC (constant audio issues)

>>7727343
Have you consulted the PCGamingWiki page for it yet? There's a fix for a major sound issue that people still have to this day. I haven't tried this specific one yet, but I might suggest the bundle called "Max Payne Fix It All" here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Max_Payne#Unofficial_patches

>>7727343
PS2 version isn't totally horrible. The graphics are very good for a early ps2 game, and are not far behind the pc version. The included auto aim makes the game way too easy but playing without it is virtually impossible due to the awful framerate in heavy combat areas. There's no quicksave either as mentioned, but the game has more checkpoints than the pc version since the game needs to seperate levels with more load screens, so I'd say it evens out. Some of the levels slightly differ from the pc and xbox version because of this. In the first subway level there's no shower room for example. I'd say the ps2 version is worth playing if you're a fan of janky ps2 era shooters.

>>7727467
Yeah I gave that a try at the time and had no luck, tried again more recently and nada. Done trying, thanks though.

>>7727484
Sounds decently playable so, I can stomach the occasional dives in FPS. Appreciate the info!

>>7727927
Weak little faggot, the game works here, are you an idiot who uses Win 10? If not, just install it again. It should work out of the box

>>7727941
Yeah I use Win10 but only because the laptop was given to me. I've better things to do than fuck around wasting time trying to get an ancient game run on modern hardware, especially when I can just get it on PS2 for a pound or two

>>7721652
I know a guy who refuses to play Red Alert 1 on PC, instead opting to constantly playing the PS1 version. It is one of those things that just boggles the mind and there is no making sense of.
