Whoa, Kanye ain't so bad after all.

Because they're made for analog displays that would squish the aspect ratio down but still maintain the resolution.

>>3025965
Because more horizontal detail.

It's supposed to be corrected to 4:3 by the tube monitor.

Let's get this out of the way though

Well you killed the thread with your image, OP

Zozo always impressed me. It was the first time I'd seen rain in an RPG. It was pretty amazing for the time.

>>3024556
Quake 3 arena and unreal tournament are two great games for four player multiplayer

Heavy metal gyromatrix?

chu chu rocket

edginess & toilet humor over substance

I like it the best. It's much more fun.
I only played the MK series and Tekken and I like both but I prefer MK because its more fun. In Tekken you just have to randomly push buttons and its rather easy. MK is really hard and needs precise timing and random button pushing gets you killed. I killed Heihachi by randomly pushing a lot of buttons. That is not possible with shao khan.

i cannot command on street fighter, i still have to and want to play this.

Game mechanics mostly.

Dial-a-combos. Block button.

Personally, I think the gameplay feels rigid compared to other fighters. I'm sure someone else can explain it better by discussing links and chains, but I don't understand it well enough.

The new games have a waifu simulator?

It's in Japanese.

Yes, but I'd skip my way to FE3, 4 and 5. 3 is a classic FE, 4 has some new mechanics and the plot is pretty good (especially compared to the new entries) and 5 is challenging.

>>3024216
there's quite a few translation patches

Maybe. It's like a 7/10.

who cares, SNES Top 25's are always filled with kiddie casual shit

>>3022836
no. i played through that shit and it sent me back to the start to collect the worst wepaon in the game.

First, settle down. You're going to lose a town here and there.
AI heroes are douchebags. If you don't have the Shackles of War, unless you can defeat them in a single round, they're going to blast one of your stacks with a spell and flee.
Build toward a Capitol first. Even if you don't have any resource generators around you, there's always the Marketplace -- though it will be terribly expensive to use until you get more towns.
Never let your opponent get the first swing in melee combat. If you move a melee unit, pay attention to where enemy melee units can attack and give yourself an extra hex to avoid being a punching bag. Enemy morale boosts may still get you from time to time.
Once you start getting several days' travel out from your Capitol, consider appointing a hero to the garrison. The extra stats and spells may come in handy.
It's difficult to say how many troops you should leave, though the slow-moving, high-HP ones (such as Golems or Zombies) make good castle units since they won't be slowing down your hero's movement and can soak some damage while your arrow towers work on the siege troops.
If your town is about to be taken by a clearly stronger foe, buy every troop you can. You'll suffer losses, but you won't have to fight these troops when taking it back.

>>3022242
Gotcha. Thanks. Yeah, this all makes sense. I've started appointing heroes to garrisons yesterday, it helped a bunch. I also found out slow units slow your hero down, which I didn't know, so I've been leaving my earth elementals at home.

How does fleeing work? I assumed it was a surrender button, since my hero always "abandoned the cause" when that happen, which just removed him from the game, so I assumed you still lost everything.

I appreciate the tips. I have my auto save from yesterday, so I'll probably go ahead and boot that up tonight. And retake the town. Just frustrating. I just got Firebirds and they were way worse than I thought they'd be.

If you flee from battle (the running icon), your hero immediately appears in the Tavern with all artifacts, but loses his troops.
You can surrender as well (tattered flag icon), but only to enemy heroes.This allows the hero to keep all artifacts and troops, but delays his appearance in the Tavern until the following day (also carries over to the new week, if you happen to surrender on Day 7).

AES cunts are some of the most massive cunt's in existence. Don't expect a lot of help.

138 has more games

>>3021884
I saw they have different games. I need to look at the list again.

Why PS1? The PC versions of these games are just fine.

I've played a fair bit of 2 and 3 (I bought 2 on release based on the hype of the first game) but I only actually finished the first game recently. I've got to say, it basically completely changed my opinion on the series. Tomb Raider is essentially an alternate interpretation of how the 3D platformer is supposed to look and it's quite fun to play. The original game is basically the definition of "too long" -- it's really, truly, mind-bogglingly long for a single-player platformer -- and there's far too much combat in a game where the combat is absolute trash, but it's damn fun to play once you get the hang of it.

I haven't played much of Tomb Raider 3. My biggest complaint about Tomb Raider 2 was the increased prevalence of combat; how does TR 3 do?

>>3021631
There is a lot of combat in 3, on par with 2 probably which isn't too much for my taste. Main thing that 3 has going on for it is that it probably features the biggest variety in levels, you go all around the globe more or less.

Games are visually pretty fucking bad and playing it on pc two feet from the screen is fairly disheartening. PS1 on a real crt that softens the image nicely, couple of meters back on the couch with a gamepad seems a lot more appealing. I played a bit of Last Revelation yesterday (just skimmed through the tutorial to see if the disc works) and, it being my only classic Lara experience for solid 10 years now, didn't feel too bad. FPS is around 20-25, controls are as jerky as I recall but not too bad. The only truly shit thing about ps1 are the loading times but I am willing to put up with it.

>>3021636
Hm. My primary PC monitor is a CRT (...my only PC monitor is a CRT) so perhaps that explains why I recommended that version. Carry on then.


I'm going to try TR3 tonight, then. I like the sound of level variety and I suppose I can put up with the combat. It's hardly game-breakingly bad, and variety would be most welcome.

In the arcades you were supposed to use one joystick to strafe and the other to rotate, and combinations to jump, dash and shoot iirc.

This was the actual first game with target lock-on before Zelda and Tomb Raider

>>3020082
Never got around to playing it for some reason. Amazing soundtrack though.

It's the hardest one, isn't it? best castlevania game.

Pretty fun. Simon walks like he's really gotta dump ass though.

Secret of Mana is cool for the first time when you're 10 y/o playing it.

SoE is a never ending classic.

>Not SD3
Yeah SoM was an unfinished game, but SoE wasn't the best one either.

That's not a game. That's a manual, OP.

Game series is great and Obduction seems to be coming well together

It and the sequel Riven were both amazing. Still have my Win9x copies.

Myst was a Windows 3.x game though, not 9x.
