They meant that this is a sloppy, poorly thought-out mess of a "game".

>It may also be the only genuinely subtle and believable advancement of their "relationship" in the entire game.

No, it's not.

In Disc2 after the prison, if you take Rinoa with Squall at the Garden, they'll have PLENTY of times together. All of which only happens if you choose to let her come with Squall and even then it's still optional, but it's there.

But even before that there the dance scene, the time in Timber, and afterwards there is their moment together during the fight between the two Gardens; then her coma and their reunion in space, then rescuing her and their reunion near the orphanage.

The whole point of the game is 'fate'. It's in the name of the game's theme, and it's a goddamn story about time travel and being brought by fate to re-do the things that brought you here to begin with. There is also the entire "every sorceress has a knight" thing, and the way Squall changes when Rinoa becomes a sorceress, in other words fate making him her knight.
The knight/sorceress thing, heavily linked to fate bringing both characters together, is NOT supposed to be a "believeable in real world love story", it's supposed to be a fairy tale.

But even then as far as "believeable in real world" stuff goes, in case you think a fairy tale with sorceresses and knights and fate involved needs that, there is still plenty in what I listed, mainly if you bring her with you in the Garden in Disc2.

>>3772919
See, none of those other moments you listed there make for a believable relationship because it's just Riona throwing herself at Squall until she wears him down and he relents. Indeed, that's an ideal situation to virginal otaku, but a believable relationship it does not make. And this is vitally important because this game was advertised on the fact it was supposedly a grand & epic love-in-war story.

Telltale games after sam and max ARE bad though

>>3772901
It controls a fuckton better with point and click though.

Glottis is the single most annoying character in any point-and-click adventure game ever made.

>mfw the FPS that created esports and I used to be a pro gamer in for 10 years is now considered retro

Well, you already posted pretty much the prime example. Can't think of much to add.

1 was meh, 2 was a trivial slogfest that gets broken by mid-game equipment, 3 is not canon

>>3772839
Phantasy Star? That series is so damn depressing, including 4, but especially 2.

Weird mix between Silent Hill and Resident Evil, and it doesn't seem to know what side to agree with - you even fight a Tyrant like dude that bursts out of a test tube

It's very western in that way, where it clearly doesn't understand why RE and SH were ever popular to begin with (ironically, Capcom and Konami did know why the first AitD was popular), but still tries really hard to ape the concepts.

The lighting system is really neat though and it's a shame they didn't use games engine again.

>>3772791
>>3772791
RE and SH were popular because of comfy exploration and figuring out the route you are meant to take. The rest is just aesthetic and atmosphere.

GOG release of AITD4 is fucking awesome also, very high res backgrounds (4:3 only obviously), but it looks sharp as fuck. Fully customizable gamepad support too. Love that shit.

Very underrated RE clone (oh the irony), too bad it's come out when people grew tired of old style RE
I love even the GBC version

I dunno, looks so much like a Super Famicom to me.

And the Super Famicom is really great, and according to my info, many third-party developers on the Super Famicom is working with Sony on the PlayStation.

As far as my experience goes, nobody in school had even heard of the playstation. We were too busy talking how fucking amazing Donkey Kong Country was.

I also was thinking about maybe replaying Evolution and then Evolution 2, any thoughts?

Fuck if I know. Roll a die for each set. Flip a coin for those 2. Let chance decide.

>>3772518
Definitely not Xenogears. It's unfinished and the story is a complete mess.

The 2D ones.

Clearly there isn't another option, you can either.

A. Make do with what you got
B. Suck it up and pay what people are asking online.
C. Swap out the Wii for another emulation box like a Pi or Odroid

>>3772417
I wasn't sure if maybe I was missing something. For single and two player we are set, and four player we can borrow from each other, but it would be nice to have a back up plan.
What a shame. I heard GC controllers work, but those are kind of jank.

>>3772428
I see them for 12 bucks at Gamestop. Between 5-10 at flea markets.

Dactyl Nightmare. I never played it, but I remember it from the episode of Freakazoid where he and Cosgrove get trapped in a similar game.

We called it DataSmut back then. Being able to jack in and have a harem of blonde babes wired into your techodeck was the best feeling ever. Nothing comes close to the feeling I had with my first cyber sex encounter. Nothing ever will. I'll be a C-junkie for the res of my life.

$5 for 5 minutes of Duke Nukem 3D on one of these things (in stand up mode) in 1996 in a mall at the west coast.

I was impressed at the time but even then I recognized some serious problems with latency and drift that I just assumed would be solved in a few years.

>>3772021
by using 4kb textures.

>>3772021
Uh, the game reuses a lot of textures

>>3772021
Low res textures
Midi music
No voice acting (HIYAAA doesn't count)
No pre-rendered video

32 megabytes is a lot of space otherwise.

Just pick one and play it, ya twat.

>>3771814
How, though? Just grab one at random?

>>3771843
Don't think about it hard, just grab a game, or some games, that look good then just go home and play it. No big deal.

I've been collecting Famicom games for over a decade and I don't know any Japanese. That shouldn't be what's stopping you.
