/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.7118903]

We can all agree that arcade games were superior to consoles, right? No shitty jarpigs, great visuals and tight gameplay with zero padding and useless bullshit.

[Anonymous No.7118926]

No, I can't agree with that. I've played through dozens of arcade games to completion and the thing I always find myself missing is a balanced, console-style level of difficulty.
>zero padding
>useless bullshit

A lot of arcade games have both of these. More specifically they have choke points built in that are designed to force a continue unless you are extremely skilled or know some particular exotic strategy. Or you know where t find secret 1-ups that will get you through. Either way they are rarely enjoyable as a challenge, just an annoyance to get through to progress.

[Anonymous No.7118945]

Depends on what you want.
If I'm looking for a quick fun time then arcade games are amazing. If I'm looking for a real challenge then I can 1cc an arcade game.
If I'm looking for a longer or a more complex experience then console gaming is where it's at. And I'm not talking just JRPGs. Plenty of really fucking long puzzle games with hundreds of levels are available on retro consoles. Can't release games like that in the arcades.

This is a stupid myth that needs to die. The arcade floor was an open market of difficulty, if your game was too easy people would play something else. If your game was too unfair, people would play something else. The fact that those games had to fight for every quarter until the end makes them better balanced on average than home releases, which can afford to be front heavy since the player already paid for the game.

[Anonymous No.7119213]

[citation needed]
The problem with easy games isn't that people play other things, it's that people can get too much out of them on a single quarter.
If the game isn't hard, but instead just has the occasional cheap shot meant to kill your momentum, it can make you feel like you were cheated and more easily get another quarter out of you if/when your run spirals to its death. THIS is what "quarter stealing" means, not just the game being "too hard".

So the argument for jarpigs is that they are mindless and good for exhausted people. Not everyone is exhausted by everyday life, so that's a strange argument. But it does fit the stereotype that smarter, healthier people would love deeper PC adventures/RPGs, fist-pumping arcade games, and charming console action-adventures instead, while the simple and exhausted prefer VNs or jarpigs or phone games. Strange to hear it from a jarpigger themselves.

The console ports are actually a good metric for how superior arcade action games were to consoles. In the 3rd generation and before, the ports are laughable mostly. In the 4th you get a great ports but otherwise bad. In the 5th you're starting to get a lot of acceptable porting on average. And then in the 6th gen you're seeing arcade perfects or better in some respects. In the 7th gen many arcade games are released AFTER the home release, showing the long term victory of consoles.

Of course the retards here never got into them much, so they think action games were always better on console. Which is just laughable before the 16 bit gen they are biased towards.

You're just giving a bad name to difficulty spikes like >>7120687 said.

This post >>7119167 is still true, if it was unfair or with cheap shots no one would replay it after their few quarters, they'd just play a better balanced game across the room. If it was too easy, there would be bad queuing with only a few people hogging it all night, and the arcade owner would want to replace it with a higher turnover. Difficulty is not a weakness of arcade games, to think otherwise is to be ignorant of how they even operate.

I'll give you advice, if you want to attack them, choose an actual weakness of them, like fleshing out >>7120714 since their narrow focus on action is partly what killed them.

Only an exhausted person would call replaying a game which you enjoy, and indirectly getting better at it, "training". Sounds like you just play badly designed games, so you can't fathom replaying an exhilarating challenge more than once and prefer the illusion of progress provided by stats and narrative.
>ppl on welfare, weed smokers and losers with drone jobs and no real goals will focus their excess energy on virtual achievements.
Or just people in general who aren't depleted by everyday life, not just the unemployed or retired. The fact is, the absolute majority of people who enjoyed all these games at the arcade would just be normal youngsters.

The irony is, your exhausted "elite worker" LARP shouldn't even have time for jarpigs themselves, which don't play as well in bite-sized amounts like an arcade experience, they are grand narratives with endless battles inbetween story changes. And this LARP worker shouldn't be playing games at all if they have so little time such an important job, they should use what little time they have on recovery, renergizing with nature/meditation/exercise or even just a proper sleep duration. The truth is that instead jarpigs are for the drone workers you describe, exhausted people who don't have the energy for a proper novel, an RPG, or videogame. So instead they play a generally mindless and contradictory hodgepodge of all three, that fails on each (just look at how little roleplaying most of them possess).

The "messing around" with no challenge is also done better in sandbox games. But even if it wasn't, just messing around doesn't fit with or add anything to the epic stories JRPGs usually focus on. Those most obviously need complex, tactical battles, as you get in strategy games and in the minority of good JRPGs. To make the tactics effortless, means making it pointless. And that's where those gamea have nothing better to offer over VNs and traditional novels, besides the fans being too braindead for even those.

I don't know about 'better' but Arcade games are more fun, for me anyway. I got into Mame relatively young because my parents wouldn't buy me a console, so I got into arcade style gameplay and I find most old console games pretty boring and easy.

An anon above said that arcade games are never too easy or too hard and this is 100% correct. There's a sweet spot they try to hit where the game is hard, but doable if you play enough - it's sort of a win-win as the operator makes money and you also get a good challenge... The 'fun' for me is getting good enough at the game where I can beat it on one or two credits; there's also a certain thrill playing a game in an arcade and getting far and people start watching you play, I've only experienced this IRL a few times since arcades are pretty much dead but its pretty cool. Also you can play a bunch of games in the span of an hour and have a blast, unlike a JRPG where you need to sink tons of hours into it.

That's a massive assumption, and just not true. As I said, a cheap shot (when properly designed) doesn't singularly end your run, it just kills your momentum long enough for something later along the line, that's fair but unfamiliar, can take you down.
If you honestly think that by the height of the arcade era developers hadn't mastered masking cheap shots, you're just naive.

[Anonymous No.7121307]

>>7120970
On the flip side, you have to admit that games that have time to build up a lot of mechanics can eventually have a lot more interesting uses and intersections/interactions of those mechanics. Arcades tend to have a few simple mechanics that get pushed to the limit by raw level design, home games (whether console or PC) tend to have maybe a bit less focused level design but much more emphasis on the mechanics.

I can think of one part in Ninja Spirit. Right before the final boss you jump down a pit filled with flying ninjas you have to dodge or they'll kill you in one hit. There's not really a good way to get past this unless you've memorized a safe route ahead of time.
They kept this crap in the console port too, even in the "non-arcade" difficulty that gives you a life meter but some enemies can still one-hit kill you. The flying ninjas are a one hit kill.

[Anonymous No.7121448]

>>7121398
I never equated the two, retard. Here, let me graph it out for you.
The difficulty spike is usually a bit less pronounced, and represents a permanent, sharp step up in what the game expects of you. If you can't survive the spike, you're unlikely to be able to handle the game moving on.
The cheap shot is harder in the moment, but the game afterwards goes right back to the level of difficulty it had before. If you knew it was coming and were ready for it, you wouldn't really need significantly higher skill overall.

False, they just have a steep difficulty curve. If what you said it true, no one would come back to that cabinet after reaching those, they'd play something fairer across the room instead. Instead, designers wanted players to keep coming back, so they make each level ever harder but feeling fair enough to encourage return visits.

>And because they lacked save states they couldn't offer much depth and content, so they had to be really short and full of gimmicks
Brevity is actually the antithesis of gimmickry. Gimmicks are really only feasible within games with saving, since the player's expectations shift to expecting more downtime and variety, they can tolerate gimmicks. In an arcade context, the player expects fast, non-stop action. If that's interrupted by gimmicks, they just won't put in another quarter and will walk away to another machine. If everyone does that, the operator will swap out that machine for a more popular one. That's another reason why home releases are more likely to have gimmicks, you would have already paid the full price up front before you sussed the gimmick.

how do I filter to hyper neo geo 64 games in MameUI?

Tried running Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition, but its status is "Not Working"

Are all hyper neo geo 64 games not working?

AllAll true. Arcades made 99% of profits from credit feeding shitters, not autistic sex starved shut-ins.

Sega genesis games were superior to arcades in gameplay but not graphics.

Why is it very hard to execute special moves in this game?

Agreed, personally though I would stay rather for instance, play an arcade racing game than a simulation game.

Why not arcade sims? Consoles "built on" these mechanics by introducing endless bloat and grind, like Gran Turismo's autistic car collecting or whatever the fuck Forza is supposed to be these days.

Arcade-style games are the best kind of games.

Racing, light guns, shmups, bmups, fighters, etc, etc were all better designed at the arcade. I don't know how so many people ITT can say otherwise with such arrogance. It's so obvious they just haven't played or hate arcade games. It was the golden-standard of pure action, so dismissing them outs you as either a zoomer who missed them, or a sissy who didn't care for them at the time because they preferred their gay jarpigs.

Arcade games usually suck because they're designed to eat quarter. The only appeal was the grayphics and playing a video game in public, but neither of those are relevant today.

Playing in public is replaced by streaming , youtubing and posting PB screenshots on social media saying ''look what me did!!! me push da button good!''

There’s something comfy and wholesome about late 70’s and early 80’s arcade games.
