Did you feel sadness when you met Gyiyg?

>>2887163
Is Giygas. And no, I felt weirdness.

It's Gyiyg.
Giegue/Gyigas are translation errors, like Pokey (porky).

So, I assume you didn't play Mother 1 before playing Earthbound.

$$$ and backups.

If using these systems you should use a method that doesn't use optical discs.

For example, with the PS2 I use FreeMcboot to run Open PS Loader and play games from the IDE hard drive I installed in my PS2.

For Dreamcast and Saturn there are SD card loader options.

Unfortunately for Jaguar CD there isn't anything like that, probably for a good reason.

PS2's are cheap as fuck, buy a load of spare ones.

Voice acting is hard to put on a chip game.

harkens back to the wrpg idea of role playing, as in: playable characters are empty vessels for you to fill with life. never liked that. never liked it either when jrpgs were stuck with that concept.

Just play the game, who cares if the character speaks or not. I'd rather not, actually.

It looks awkward as fuck if you want to use the dpad.

>>2886502
They look awkward as fuck, period. I could get it being better if your hands were tiny

Mine are not.

>>2886409
I was able to use a friend's Hori pad once. Was really nice, but I can't justify spending $50+ on an N64 controller.

Just play it homie. Game's easy as fuck, but super comfy.

Gort is a beast

Treat Domingo with care, and he will dominate the field.
Be prepared to rage at the circus level, though...those mannequins(?) are dangerous as hell.

Should you promote people right away?

>What do you feel like SoE did better than SoM?
I enjoyed the dark atmosphere much more.

>What did SoM do better than SoE?
I can't think of anything. Not saying its a bad game though. I love SoM, but there is nothing that really sets it apart, imo.

>What flaws did they both have?
Dumb partner A.I, at times. Though this didn't bother me that much, SoM seemed to be much worse.

>What would you look for in a game that claimed to be a "spiritual successor" or even just an homage to Secret of Evermore? I don't claim my game will live up to that, but it's something to aim for.

Just more of the same. Maybe touch up the hit detection. If its not broke, don't fix it.

>>2885616
have you checked the rebalance patch?

>>2885650
I agree about the atmosphere of SoE being more interesting. I also liked the whole "boy and his dog" thing. Thank you for all the feedback.
>>2885651
Yeah, I played through it with the balance patch a few months ago. Made the game much more enjoyable, in my opinion.

He would have been more popular if he wasn't a manlet monkey boy that wore a vest without a shirt underneath like vaan the fuccboi

>>2885279
get a load of this obnoxious faggot

Didn't this game feature fighting game style command moves that weren't explained anywhere outside the manual? I didn't think it was that bad.

>Wahh the background graphics suck. This game sucks!!

>>2885148
>Wahh the controls are too hard. My thumb can only press 1 input per second!!!

>>2884786
i never understood the appeal about harvester, what's the gist?

what in the fuck am i looking at

>>2884825
It's batshit insane hamfisted satire and at the same time was very much before its time in a lot of ways.

The Darkstalkers series had some really cool and memorable stages.

He looks familiar. Is that the wolf from Monster Rancher?

Now that the dust has settled, my wife and I bought a Retron 5 to play GBA games on an LCD with a smoothing filter so we can see which games have aged poorly.

>Where does this meme come from?

>>2880095
Underages and people who can't accept that their tastes have changed so they blame the game instead.

I used to have (well, still have) a bootleg 40 in 1 gameboy cart that had every gen 1&2 Pokemon game on it, the Crystal version was inexplicably the infamous DRUG BAG FUCK Vietnamese Crystal version despite the other games being legit

It also had the Super Mario Land 4 game that's a hack of Crayon Shin-Chan and Pokemon-themed hacks of Super Mario Land and Pinball: Revenge of the Gator

>>2878703
I was in Marocco once and saw a bootleg pokemon game in one of the markets.

As I remember it the box was red with a Gyarados on it. I regret not buying it, but I guess it can be found online if anyone have an idea of what it could be called.

Buying GBA Pokemon games is a fucking crapshoot on ebay, although that isn't retro. I've gotten 3 fucking fake carts from US sellers.

>>2873654
I've been meaning to play it for a while now. I probably will once I finish Duke3D Nuclear Winter.

I treated the game like it was just typical Doom, despite all of the changes, and went completely unprepared to the last boss.

Needless to say that when playing on a high difficulty level using the fully upgraded Sigil against the final boss WILL kill you unless you brought in healing items.

dat moment when you rebel thief and cannot correctly speak to that npc

>>2839452
Probably because more people would see that list just as much as a reason to dislike thief 1 over 2.

>>2839452
>>2839452
Do the comparisons matter anymore when you can just get an fan mission to match your specific tastes? There's lots of decent fan made thief missions.

So there's more people out there who don't prefer varied levels and a more unique tone?

Thief 2 is great don't get me wrong, but it feels like the changes made larely weren't for the better. Bigger levels ushered away the tighter feel that many thief 1 maps had, and people point out zombies/burricks in the 1st as silly, while being perfectly content with aiming for portable boiler hatches on talking bipedal robbots with their water arrows.
