>>4182264
>>4182295
I just want to know if there are any other guides like this that goes through the history of the system, the games, and accessories.

>>4182130
Fuck this subject
This game looks cool as fuck

>>4182130
I always used the term 'extra man' as a kid. That looks a lot like geometry wars.

>>4182130
What game is that anon?

>>4179441
why aren't A and B lined up with the c buttons?
they should rethink the design a little.

>>4179441
Make Hori clones instead. That way you'll that's somewhat functional AND looks good at the same time,

>>4179445
this

>>4178994
None. Now, if we are talking about tactics jrpgs ...

>>4178994
I think the Grandia and Romancing Saga games are two good examples of retro JRPGs with well done, engaging battle systems. A milder example is Super Mario RPG and Breath of Fire 4.

Beyond that, I can't think of many others.

Vagrant Story

>>4178202
Not really.
If you watch the video all the consoles are connected, he does a good job of hiding the cords.

Most /vr/ users have the garage setups, so they are triggered by this picture.

The only thing that gets me is this cat is not using a CRT. But again watch the video he's got one, just not in that frame.

Everything has some flaw if you look hard enough. This is just a barely veiled CRT flamebait though.

having too many possessions is bad karma

I've never heard anyone say that

>the dreamcast is the best game console ever!
historical revisionism. it's okay to look back and feel bad for sega despite every fucking person in the universe giving them total shit at the time
>input lag isn't real guise emulators are perfect!
wrong. this meme always has and always be perpetuated by people who use emulators. anyone who has used a real CRT knows that it's real
>the ps1 is the best game console ever!
wrong, and this is mostly due to nostalgia. a lot of people appreciate it for the RPGs and if you fall into that category than I understand your opinion though I don't share it.
>games don't age
they physically don't age, but as time passes the art of game making becomes more and more refined making returning to old games more challenging
>discs would have saved the n64!
maybe sales wise but the ps1 didn't win because of CDs alone, they won because of sony's amazing third party program. not to mention that it would have tacked on (by nintendo's own estimates) $100 to the price making it unprofitable. Things like this are why nintendo is historically richer than sony despite being frequently shadowed.
>$299 killed saturn
wrong. no games, no hype, and poor management did that.
>pc has always been better than consoles
not true for literally 99% of the populace until the pentium

>>4178124
Akshully Saturn was sold at $399, it might not have been the main cause of the failure but sure as fuck didn't help.

You're losing people with the "gem" bit there, op.

I like these games, the second one specially (too much minigame bullshit in the third), but I always felt they represented a slightly lazy, narrow-minded approach to what 3D had to offer for platformer games. It seemed to me as the 3D was mostly used as wow factor slapped on top of game design concepts that were already stale by then in 2D games (essentially linear level design, death-and-retry checkpoint gameplay, and so on)

The people involved obviously knew what they were doing, but they simply didn't attempt anything particularly new or interesting. They just upgraded existing foolproof ideas with new technology. On hindsight, this kind of projects simply don't feel as memorable or worthwhile.

But again: I do like them, they're good fun.

>>4186207
I prefer its style of platforming over spyro's by a country mile
those boring ass collectathons were the open world garbage of their day

>>4186207

A couple cryptic shit goes on in the 2nd game for gems such as ridiculous backtracking or finding teleports. Don't know what they were thinking with that one ice level where you have to backtrack nearly the entire stage for a bo death stone.

Is that retro?

its 2000, is that considered retro?? fuck i thought it was and never actually contemplated it.

>>4185242
the cutoff year is 1999.

then, Thief 2 is discussed here occasionally, and that's a 2000 game. it probably depends on the individual case. in any case, expect some people to get angry.

Thank you for the update that the good game was good.

>>4184652
I agree.

If you invest time with this game it is a truly rewarding experience.

>>4184652
Yeah, it's a game that still plays well considering the era it got released and its influences on later Zeldas (especially 3D ones) is remarkable.

However, I disagree that the controls are perfect. Especially later on in the game there are several areas like in Castlevania or Ninja Gaiden where you get knocked back by an enemy and fall in a pit because of that. That can be very annoying. There's also a lot less to collect and use if we're talking about items but it's not like the first Zelda had that many items to begin with and it wasn't till later games like LttP, LA and OoT that the items served a bigger purpose in both dungeon design and during combat.

I think a lot of people complain about this game because of what's NOT in it considering it's a Zelda game but when you take a look at the game itself and give it a chance then it can be a worthwhile experience.

Don't force yourself to play games that you don't like. No matter what approach I take to explain why I enjoyed this aspect of such and such game, you'll definitely still shake your head and call me an idiot.

>>4184273
You give me far too little credit. I'm open to discussion and I'd like to hear your vies. I do enjoy the game, just not necessarily these parts of it. Its making progression a slog at times, and Now I feel overleveled because I spent the past 6 hours searching for the stupid thing.

NPCs give you hints for everything, just talk to everyone and write down what they say somewhere. I only had to look up a guide for one thing in DQ2, and I later ran into a NPC that had a hint for even that.
