How do you guys pick a new game to play? I've developed a system where I exported the full list of roms available to download from any particular system to a spreadsheet and use random.org to pick a title. This may seem autistic, but relieves of the stress of having to choose between thousands of titles.

Bingo. Stress? You're choosing a video game. It's not difficult. Pick one that looks fun and interesting. Keep your autism in check.

I play games I liked, but didn't beat in childhood. Then I play games by the same developer. Wanting to know more about a specific genre, I play games that are precursors to this genre.

Why does this game get so much praise? It's not a terrible game, but it just doesn't have a lot going for it. The story is a very average save-the-world affair with no real interesting plot twists. The characters are generic and have no development. The battle system is dead simple and also broken, once you get the ability to change into Spiritual class you can just hide behind your enemies and wait as long as you want for your magic gauge to recharge, essentially allowing you to live forever in battle. The game is short as fuck, my final playclock said 14 hours. The "amazing ending" that I've seen people remark on is just the ending from Earthbound except it's not done as well.

I will give the game points for being relatively unique with the dragon-riding mechanic. It also follows a very minimalist design, which I think other RPGs could learn from. Unfortunately, I think they might have gone too minimalist.

Thoughts?

>The story is a very average save-the-world affair with no real interesting plot twists
The twist is that it's vastly expanding the Panzer Dragoon mythology from the rail shooters

>The battle system is dead simple and also broken
The battle system is actually super awesome but you're sort of right. After you level to a certain point in any number of methods you become fairly unstoppable. There needs to be a difficulty-up hack but the game checks for game-shark type devices

>The game is short as fuck
So's Chrono Trigger. That's not necessarily bad and there's your standard 40-50 hours if you 100% it.

>I will give the game points for being relatively unique with the dragon-riding mechanic
Yes, it's combat system may not be the most complex and it may not be correctly balanced but it is absolutely unique and the source code for the game has been lost so we're not going to see HD re-releases or rebalanced versions.

Hell, I'd be ecstatic if someone would just come up with a game-shark enable code and a player-attacks-do-XXX%-damage code to make the game more challenging and to feel longer in "playclock" terms, plus it would give better reason to search the entire areas since you'd need to grind a bit. Just something as simple as that could make a very good rare game a GREAT rare game.

I've been messing around with Mario Paint quite a bit, and I can't seem to find any info on exactly how it works. You can put a dot of every colour and patern on the screen all at once. How does this work considering the hardware limitations of the system? Is it a neat workaround, or something simple? Anyone know?

you are literally just adding color to a background image. what so impressive about that?
>>
>>3230432
OP mentioned how you can put a pixel of every color on the screen, so I believe he's perplexed about how it managed to work under the color limitation per tile as well as the maximum capacity of the palettes.

My favorite is a tie between Exodus and Quest of the Avatar on NES. III has an awesome soundtrack, and there's actually an album called Ultima Mix that got released in Japan. It does, admittedly, sound like late-'80s, early-'90s J-pop in a lot of the songs, but there are still a few good ones in there. Here's my favorite one out of the bunch.

The bizarro secret room in the first town in Ultima 7, which you get to by trying to enter a crate that you place north of the south-east most tree. Lord Britain calls you a horrible piece of shit and tries to kill you.

Should Sonic Team have just let Mario have the "3D platformer crown" during the 5th Generation?

Instead of trying to bring Sonic into 3D, they could have polished up his 2D gameplay even more. Sprite based stuff got pretty good during 5th gen, and I think a Sonic 4 made during that era would have been great.

Then, after Mario 64, once platforming was able to work in 3D, then they could have added the nuances of Sonic. That's what happened in 2D: video games had to learn how to Mario before they could Sonic.

not crying, and I'm trying to say that they shouldn't have even tried to 3D Sonic on the Saturn. 2D Sonic would have been the better way to go. Level design was already at its peak, as was the physics system. Just needed to improve sound quality, visual quality, and boost the amount of content. Just refine the fuck out of it.

Still haven't played NiGHTS yet.
