Archived threads in /vr/ - Retro Games - 1207. page

I don't have to stop liking games I always liked just because time kept passing by and they became "retro".

I started speedrunning games in 2014, and as it turns out, a lot of the most competitive and mechanically complex speedgames are also retro games.

That's the main reason I like them today. There are other reasons, but that's the primary one.

I like old games like I enjoy old books. Interest doesn't age.

This.
Can the consoles and emulate from a PC.

>>3073915

but emulation is full of problems for stuff like dreamcast and saturn, 3do etc. I just want a " hook up to my main Tv and get best possible experience* system

I'm enjoying Game Tengoku.

Any tips for Twinbee?

Well I've always you was kind of shit.

>>3073503
I've always this reply was kind of shit.

>>3073465
That fly head looks so fucking vulgar.

Too fucking hard and grindy

My friend finally got me to play it after years of nagging, and it was awful. It's "Grind: The Game".

>>3073198
Because nothing that happened many times while you weren't here happened.

>What makes a JRPG good to you?

Open-world design, not being pigeon-holed into good or evil roles throughout the story, total freedom to develop your character(s) however you want instead of being forced into a specific class-based role, tons of sidequests and other optional content, rewarding difficulty level, character romances, (including same-sex) emphasis on *role-playing* instead of statistics and min-maxing, un-shitty translation quality, no censorship whatsoever.

So really, there aren't any "good" retro JRPGs out there. It wasn't until just recently that series like Elder Scrolls or Fallout started perfecting the role-playing formula. Older games were plagued by too many issues, especially censorship.

If I had to stick with retro, I would say Vagrant Story, King's Field or SaGa are all great JRPGs, although at the same time severely lacking compared to the freedom normally found in Western RPGs.

>>3072857
Combat system.

>>3073297
>Elder Scrolls or Fallout
>rewarding difficulty level
I also find WRPGs to be extremely gay, but you don't need to try that hard.

I played this but there was a bug where I couldn't get past the part with the tree spirit or whatever

Just a black screen with the music still playing

>>3072695
I seem to remember something like that happening to me as well, and ended up having to reinstall the game.

I wonder if the copy on abandonia has the same issue...

>>3072683
Myst is pretty comfy

>>3071027
I don't understand. Why do you want your games to look like shit?

The AA present on the N64 is about 80% of the reason to own one. Just look at the fucking trees, and tell me you actually prefer it without AA.

>>3071135
Console mod enthusiasts are always on the look-out for something stupid to waste their time and money making their console worse on.

>>3071027
I've done it. Most games look great. But I'm using a RGB-modded console with a PVM-14M4. Nearly the best combination (I wish I had a 20-inch PVM). I haven't played with it too much to give fine-grain opinion yet though.

I've yet to see what it looks like using composite on a CRT or with any kind of signal to a Framemeister.

There are two type of filter that can be turned off. Most games are good with both off, some only one.

You don't need an ED64. You can do this with a gameshark/action replay and real carts. Codes exist. NTSC and PAL.

The games can be permanently patched or auto patched on the fly with an ED64.

what did he mean by "get over here"

>>3068279
No, Eugene Jarvis taught Boon everything he knows and was a Real Man. Boon stole all IP from Tobias and exiled him from arcade gaming forever.

>>3068279
you mean douchey and overrated?

trial and error trash

but hey at least they're self-aware

I loved them when I was younger. Pretty fun. Some of the puzzles are insane bullshit, though. I mean a retrograde alphabet? Who the fuck thinks of that shit?

>>3059764
On strictly adventure games? They're the godfather of them, in my opinion. Sure, a LOT of their older titles are pretty unplayable and no one likes dealing with text parsers and pixel hunts anymore, but I have a lot of fond memories of getting up early on Saturday mornings to play SQ1 and KQ1, compare notes with my brothers and sisters until one of us figured out the puzzles and we finished the games together.

I think some of them are sort of hit and miss though. I wasn't a fan of SQIV or V, but I liked KQ, the Conquests series and Quest for Glory. I missed out on things like Police Quest, LSL and Manhunter until much later, so I don't have very much nostalgia in regards to them.

I liked Torrin's Passage, Gabriel Knight and the first Phantasmagoria games though. Sierra itself used to be one of my favorite software studios until Activision happened. Even Vivendi wasn't as bad.

No idea what an "AVR" is.

A surround sound unit? Pointless for anything retro.

>>3074234
Audio-Video Receiver
You can always use stereo expansion, some N64 games were even designed around that.

>>3074234
Audio video receiver. Old ones like mine can convert 480i av,svid,comp to 480p hdmi. Newer versions have the same video processor as a dvdo is can. It also does Dolby processing and can convert stereo audio into 5-7 channel surround. Also has a direct mode which bypasses all audio processing let ing you hear raw audio from your console, at reference level if wanted.

>>3074234
>No idea what an "AVR" is.

No idea why you posted then, thanks for the bump though

>Excluding Dreamcast and N64, everything I threw at it ran flawlessly.
Let me guess: NES, SNES, Genesis and PS1?

definte "flawlessly."

i'm not sure there are any cycle accurate emulators that work on raspberry pie. but maybe i'm wrong.

>>3073470
Sega cd, Arcade, NeoGeo. And yes Psx. I read that some games still ran poorly on Pi2.

>>3073473
Maybe not, but I didn't notice it.
