i specifically haven't bothered playing the game very long because you start in the water.

>>3292578
One of my favorite games of all time. Boy, does it fill me with joy to come to /vr/ and see an EVO thread :O

water combat is all about dashing, if you have pretty much any modern d-pad you won't be able to do it easily enough to clear the section without difficulty

also theres pretty much easily a best evolution in the fish stage. just most expensive everything more or less. beating the king kuralesche is just dodging dashing and biting once or twice

I have painful memories with the Yeti Mother.

Depends on my mood.

My ultimate comfy game is Final Fantasy Tactics.

But it can be anything if you're in the right mood. I find games like Resident Evil really comfy most of the time.

I think comfy is usually synonymous with "familiar" and "enjoyed it" kind of games. I can sit down and beat Mega Man X without thinking, so does that count as comfy? I guess.

If you're talking light hearted and easy games then theres a bunch.

>>3291865
oh, well that makes sense, I mean in that case I'm pretty familiar with Yume Penguin Monogatari and can beat it quickly... also it's pretty easy as a whole so I guess that's a good one. Also, pic related I guess because Miracle world is decently comfy.

Mega Man 7 always feels really comfy.

Playing it right now actually.

Eiko's theme always gives me real summer vibes. I used to listen to it when I would take my dog down to the stream to chase frogs and cool off. Always makes me think of those days.

>>3291280
I've played it too. Cool late 90s artstyle and soundtrack, decent gameplay.

https://youtu.be/21fjrNvLUHo

The soundtrack is somewhat popular, so not entirely unknown.

I miss the days of long-box games. I guess standard jewel cases were more economical though.

Despite all the criticism this game receives, it's really not that bad. The isometric perspective seems a little disproportionate to how the game controls, but you eventually get the hang of it. It's nowhere near as bad as Zaxxon with its multi-axis maneuvering.

Also available on Genesis / MD.

No, I think there are good and bad control/gameplay design. This changes for many people though so it's hard to tell what's good from bad, generally there is a concensus (not only on /vr/ but in general)

I think it's hard to imagine "overdesigned" gameplay, gameplay is either good or bad, it works or it doesn't. I think what could be called overdesigned are stuff like level design, or art direction, maybe.
I haven't watched game sack so I don't know in what kind of term do they use it, but if they throw it out a lot, it might be jus ta buzzword like overrated.

You could argue that any simulation game is over designed. They sacrifice actual fun that comes from the experience of flying a plane for example for the sake of simulating technical difficulties that exist in real life.

>>3291137
I think the main example was Silhouette Mirage (pic in OP). Just in case it requires explanation, this is Treasure doing their Treasure thing, so it's based in an extremely specific core mechanic: part of it is that there's basically two types of enemies, each only vulnerable to one of two attributes, and you switch the attribute of your attacks by making your character face either left or right in the screen. It gets pretty crazy.

As many other reviewers, the GS guys know their gaming history (and in their case, have higher knowledge than most of the tech-side of things), but gameplay analysis is not really their thing, and this level of high concept is just nonsense to them. Hence: overdesign; too specific and disruptive gameplay rules.

Very hard but good.

>>3290241

Rad as fuck even if I can't beat it.

>>3290241
One of my all time favorites! Still have my copy from when I bought it new as a kid. My only complaint is that I wish it was a bit longer.

Also had the best song on the Genesis IMO:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rl9ySzxqkyc

I definitely do. The sound for this screen saver was always ridiculously loud. But for some reason...i still loved it

Wait, so this is where the "sonic hedgehog" or whatever meme video music came from, with the loud GHZ music?

I never had Sonic screensavers but I remember OP's pic from Sonic Jam on Saturn.

>>3290221
why is tails outside and why is sonic drinking whine? is this some deep lore bullshit?

lolwut? 6th gen is pwned even more thoroughly and 7th gen will probably be soon as system updates are trickling away. Isn't 3DS busted wide open?

>>3290427
How many of those consoles have these cartridges you can just plug into them?

>>3289843
Maximum Carnage had a song done by Green Jellÿ. Somehow the SNES version is better than the actual song. The Genesis one sounds like butt.

>King Of Fighters: Ikari Themes

Man, I shocked they didn't try to replicate more guitar oriented themes for that team, considering the 2nd Ikari NES game had some killer tunes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4hGO_7vPGE

Man, Capcom used to have great Rock soundtracks. Why the fuck did they abandon them?

>>3288095
My question is why did the slavers wear sunglasses and leather trenchcoats? Also why there a Japanese restaurant in the middle of Artolia?

>the first time through

It's a fairly short game and I guess back in the day people actually liked to replay games instead of plowing through shit as fast as possible and dropping it like hot garbage for the next title.

>>3288167
Back then we didn't have anything else to occupy our time. Books, I guess.

Hook (Irem)

Fun game.

Play the Japanese version. Way more colorful, and has this female boss instead of the Hook clones.

Robocop on C64.
