I had literally just finished FF7 at the time OP made his post. I had played it when I was younger but got frustrated by the end when I learned how much crap I missed (and how much of the game was unrevisitable), but this time, I got pretty much everything I wanted and did pretty much everything there is to do. It's a neat game with a lot of flaws (particularly with writing), but I think the American/International version's de-emphasis on battling/encounters made the game what it is.

Also, emulators are the only way to do KotR-Mime spam against Ruby/Emerald Weapon. Also, KotR-Mime spam is cheap as hell, but whatever.

Also, Steal as well + KotR is literally the best materia combo.

i'm playing ff7 on the ps1 classic. the game seems to run fine.

i just got back to sector 7 after the don's crib.

i've been using a walkthrough for a complete playthrough (i've already beaten the game 4-5 times) but using a walkthrough makes the game kind of boring. i think i'm going to not look at it anymore and only use it for gold chocobo.

i mean, i'll miss some cool shit but i'll still be able to beat the game and the weapons.

Playing through Chrono Trigger for the first time right now. Combat is very fucking nice in this game. Not /vr/ but I had a blast playing through Luigis Mansion and Metroid Prime over the past few days. Having a wii with homebrew and a nice crt is goddamned fantastic. May try out Terranigma next or may do a run of Pikmin 2.

X4 is the best. I'm currently working on them in order on the collection for the switch. I felt like a casual for using rookie mode for x3 but I just wasn't having fun with it.
I'm near the end of x5 right now, it made some strange choices (limited number of times you can play a stage) but besides that it's fun

Fallout 2.

Fast shot and gifted. I didnt dump stat anything so my special is like 5955599. I actually regret the high luck so far. I'm also really hurting for skill points even though I dont need to boost guns very high.

I am also playing with rough combat, but I had to drop it to normal or easy to get through the temple.

I'm disappointed the game already gave me a g11 and p90. I might leave them in the car and grab a FAL and grease gun.

I kept vic just long enough to repair the autodoc and generator in the gecko caves. Cassidy has a sniper rifle, sulik has a .223 pistol.

The SNES version has the best translation.

I'm not sure which version(s) fix the evade* bug, but gameplay wise I would choose that one.

*In the SNES version, evade is a dummy stat and magic evasion counts for everything. Makes items like the Aegis shield (high magic evade) a god mode item.

GoldenEye. Please someone send help for Silo, I keep getting destroyed at the end.

Also how to git gud? The enemies seem to hit you at random and there are no ways to recover health, it's particularly frustrating in infinite respawning guard levels

Dragon Warrior 2 on NES. Grindy, but the gameplay is well thought out so as to keep things interesting, just like I had come to expect from the first game. Kind of disliked the first game due to how basic it is, so this is definitely an improvement.

>>5734902
Any idea if it's similar to the NES one or a different deal?

Be cautious in the early part of the level, you will need to have good health going into the final section - take your time but obviously you will still need to make the timer. Then near the end after Ouromov starts running just make a run for it to the elevator. Assuming you can do it on agent you should know where to go. Sometimes it's a good idea to peer out from corners and take them out, but if you're in an open area it's often better to just run for it. Like any good game there's no real secret, you will just get better over time.

Marc Rutzou got a world record on that level in agent recently. Supposedly he spent about two years and at least 450 hours going for it.

GBC DQ2 is a port of the SFC remake.

-Chance of enemies using devastating moves reduced
-Princess learns Zaoriku too (the resurrection spell with no failure chance)
-Zaoriku can be used in battle
-Zaoriku restores to full HP instead of 1 HP
-Some weapons and armor got buffed
-Prince can equip more weapons (e.g. Sword of Light & Loto's Sword)
-Begirama and Ionazun spells do more damage
-Can sell off stuff at any shop instead of just the item store
-Equipment store menu shows who can equip what and how it will change stats before you buy it
-Characters have an actual independent defense stat instead of defense just being agility/2
-Added stat-increase seeds
-Party members auto-retarget if an enemy was killed before their turn
-The MP-drain effect of Fushigi na Odori (Mysterious Dance) was changed from percentage to fixed, making it less threatening
-You get the world map in the dragon lord's castle
-Metal slimes & hagure metal slimes give much more XP
-Avoiding damage from poison swamp & lava areas required Lot's armor or the water robe originally but in the remake can be avoided with the Toramana spell
-Poison swamp tiles do half as much damage
-The final bosses no longer cast Behoma (full heal), though they have higher HP
