What's your favorite game from the undeniably best RPG series of all time?
Also does anyone know whether there's a good sourceport of Ultima 5 yet? Something like xu4 would be cool (with music and everything), but I haven't found anything.
There was an attempt but it got stuck in the early stages.

Obviously there's Lazarus but that's pretty much a different game.
I have this condition that compels me to play every game series chronologically, form the first installment. That's why I'll never get into Ultima.

Any retro horror games that are like this one in quality?
Quality is a pretty objective criteria. There aren't really any other 8 bit horror RPGs like that but there are a literal shit ton of "retro style" (non-vr) ones made on RPG Maker.

put what where?
I held off on playing this series on the stupid premise that playing as a female MC was not cool, until I played and beat Super Metroid this last weekend.
Fuck me right in my misogynistic ass, this game is incredible. From infuriating platforming that forced you to git gud to a truckload of hidden rooms and items, i felt like I fell in love with video games again.
So where do I go from here? Should I play the original on the nes or jump straight into the gba games?

have your network filter block 4chan.org, and then seek help IRL

I'm ten years older than that but I'm glad I finally beat apathy and played a Metroid game, its my kind of game.
So I just finished this game, and I have to say, it was pretty good. It's definitely the most well-made infinity engine game in terms of combat, especially since it runs on the 3e D&D rule set.
I just have this feeling though, like even though I just beat it, I never really became good at it. I hear of people doing no-save playthroughs or playing on hard difficulty and I'm amazed. Add the D&D RNG-based combat and you're basically guaranteed to get team wiped at some point, even if just by bad luck. Stuff like:
>enemy caster uses hold person
>all front-line fighters paralsyed and kill
>casters and rogue get mobbed
I had to reload and preemptively buff my party for a lot of the fights, which feels very cheap
Also, what's with that ending? I was just getting into that fight, thenSurprise! The tower mythal spell malfunctions and conveniently sucks Isair and Madae into another realm, the party escapes, the end!
What did you think of this game? What party composition did you use?
>Pic related, one of the fuckers I had to reload and pre-buff my party for
Selfbump.
I've been thinking of buying planescape: enhanced edition. I heard beamdog finally didn't fuck up one of these remasters. How will the gameplay feel after playing IWD2? I assume it will feel clunky as hell. I hear the plot is great though, which IWD2 didn't have a lot of.
I thought the combat and boss battles were much improved over iwd1. I thought there was more consideration to map layouts and enemy positions in regards to strategy. However I fucking hated the puzzles in the woods, the jungle and so on. Did you beat them without a guide? They seemed ridiculously obtuse in understanding how good puzzles work in game design. There is a lot to love in 2...but overall I won't play it again unless I do co op with a friend bc of the puzzles.
My party will probably get jokes on. I don't know what is best. I just know what I used iirc.
Fighter OR barbarian
Paladin
Rogue
Wizard
Cleric
Druid

I agree with the puzzles part. The "puzzles" sucked. There's nothing satisfying about using trial and error to progress, so I just used a guide for the woods and anything else which seemed like BS. The whole point of IWD was to make a heavily combat focused infinity engine game, so fetch quests and time wasting puzzles seemed like a terrible decision on the devs part.
That party comp is standard fare for these games. I had more or less the same, but swap druid for a monk.
Fighter
Ranger
Rogue
Sorcerer
Cleric
Monk

Reminder that Diablo 2 is not retro.

what if it was on the dreamcast?
>>3971478
Will it be retro next year?
>Dude RGB on a Trinitron PVM is the way the developers intended
>Lol composite is shite and totally not what everyone back then used on their shitty cheap standard CRTs
>>4015689
this is why LCDs are better
>>4015693
An LCD would look even worse.
>>4015689
huh
composite makes it look a little more like a bubble. guess the md composite isn't ALL shite
still won't fuckin use it tho

Why is the princess maker series so damn fun and where can I get more?

Did you just wake up from a cryogenic sleep since 2008 or so?

Try Wonder Project J2 on N64, you might like it.
>>4014527
Sorry, yeah. Will try Wonder Project J2, thanks!
what are some modern takes on princess maker that feature similar cheats
How is this game, /vr/ ?
I love me some Banjo but this game seems to get a bad rap from what I've heard/read.
Redpill me, fuckers.

you will cry if you enjoyed snes episodes
>>4013773
>redpill me on x
get real tired of people not doing their research
>>4013773
There's too much to collect, collecting it gets tedious because of character specific rules, and beating all 4 levels of the original DK arcade on one life is required to beat the game, which is more annoying than fun.
Thoughts on The Guardian Legend?
It good
Great idea
SHMUP sections aren't the best but I love the concept enough to let that slide

My favorite nes game
Anyone else feel like this is a fun but flawed game?
I would really prefer if you'd be quiet
>>4013538
I actually prefer the second game. But that might be because i played it more as a kid and i have some hardcore nostalgia for it
>>4013601
Tomba 2 was one of my absolute favorite games growing up and I hate myself a little more every day for losing my disc a long time ago.
Do you prefer PC-98 or Windows era?
How many of the games have you cleared?
What is your favorite music from any entry?
I'm playing through the PC-98 games right now.
I just got finished bringing a nefarious criminal to justice.
