Checked the catalog, didn't see an emulator general or anything.

What's the best and the most current N64 emulators for PC these days?

PJ64 1.7 if you can find it.
Though 1964 if you want mouse and keyboard in GE/PD. But otherwise PJ64.
N64 is going nowhere fast and given it pretty shoddy library it's sort of understandable.

"shoddy library" or not, I wish emulation was better, I want to properly play Mischief Makers and Goemon.

When I first played this game back in... I think it was 1999, on emulator?... the entire joke was lost on me. I didn't even think "haw the dumb goat is making the guy think she's a sexy babe". I just thought she was sharing a picture of Princess Toadstool.

incidentally, you can go into stage select, beat a special stage and press reset to keep the emerald. keep repeating this until you've got them all.

For ultra builds, the best trait is and always will be Gifted. Can play without it, but it's just too good. That's the first presumption. Other good traits include Kamikaze, Good Natured, Small Frame and Fast Shot (for burst-oriented characters).
As for stats, ST, EN and CH are relatively the least important (EN is not efficient at actual survivability for certain reasons, low ST problems can be easily alleviated with companions and/or car, and CH is a strictly flavor stat for some bonus interactions that aren't very consequential. It also determines your number of companions (ONLY in FO2!), but companions aren't very good without the restoration patch's ability to command them.

Thus, the most important stats are PE, IN, AG and LK. You can put AG relatively averagely if you're willing to use Buffout and Psycho before big fights - that's what I do and what I recommend - and use the stats to pump other things. High PE lets you shoot better, increases the very misunderstood Sequence (which is important) and has use in sidequests. High IN gives you skill points, which are good and counteracts Gifted's con. LK equal or above 6 is necessary to get Better Criticals perk, and very high LK is cool for flavor points (like special random encounters, and finding the Alien Blaster, a really strong energy weapon, in FO1).

The most obvious skill tags is anything that lets you play a diplomatic (Speech) gunslinger with whatever third skill (Lockpick, Sneak, Steal, heck maybe even Doctor) you might enjoy. You can also play a solid melee with all the guidelines above. Melee/Unarmed is a solid choice in original FO, just harder to play than guns.

Note that character building in F:T is very different.
>>
The main differences in F:T character building are as follows:
>CH actually does something, and your main character should have 6-8 CH for a smooth playthrough. High CH characters get to hire much better allies in the Brotherhood headquarters much earlier in the game, which makes up for the "lost" SPECIAL points on your main char greatly. CH8 gives access to a really good perk, too. Only dump CH if you plan on solo play.
>EN now determines the amount of drugs you can take before you're saturated with them and can't take any more. Depends on how much drugs your playstyle employs (I'm all for it, for one), it's now worth putting points in.
>more playable races have been introduced, but for pure powergaming, we're only really bothered with Humans anyway. Ghouls have a lower perk rate and a few problems (one of the best followers in the game is a Ghoul, but has a shitty trait you have to Mutate! away), Super Mutants lack armor options and somehow ironically make for the best covert ops characters, Deathclaws are terribly programmed and only The Mother, who is obnoxiously overpowered for a member of her race, is worth considering, Dogs are niche and Androids are complete shit due to lacking perks and not having anything to compensate).
>Melee and unarmed builds require a lot more knowledge and preparation. There's a certain bug with special unarmed attacks where you get your best attack while being around 120% at Unarmed and then you lose it in favor of a bugged kick when you get really good at Unarmed. It can be circumvented by using a certain glitch (whether it's kosher is up to debate). There's also a bug where hitting someone in the left leg in melee will deal thousands of damage to them. You can make melee viable without abusing any of this, but it's a ton of work.
>Throwing is good, finally. Grenade options expanded and all. Worth.
>Doctor is mandatory to have. Sneak is also amazing, but it depends on playstyle.
>You need Big Guns and Energy Weapons in the squad.
>>
Also, Kamikaze trait has been changed in F:T, but it's even better and more straightforward in its implementation, so it's an even more apparent choice.

Note that F:T has also been designed with real time fighting in mind, and turn-based mode has been put in later. Whether you care about this info is up to you, but in general, F:T oddly enough works better in real time.

I honestly had no idea Shadowrun on SNES was such a great game. I remember my cousin having it when it when it came out but I was more interested in FF at the time. Is the Genny game as good as this?

The genesis game is much different, but if you love the atmosphere and story of shadowrun, you will love it anyways.

The hacking in Genesis is much much much better also.

Merry Christmas bros. Lets get this thread going. Post and discuss all Christmas games here. Doesnt necessarily have to be 100% Christmas themed. Gex 3 is an example with a Christmas level yet not completely centered around Christmas/winter. Grab your cocoa, get comfy and reminisce about those retro Christmas times.

What are some obscure JRPGs that not a lot of people played?

I'm in the market to play something new, not Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest or anything else I've already played.

Pic related. I remember this being a seriously weird game.

Also, most of the obscure ones I've played were pretty crap.

There's a reason they were obscure.

Why'd they drop the sim aspects for the sequel? Hell, its even a big selling point on the box.

Did people not like the sim parts? I always found them pretty fun.

2 sucked compared to the first one. Without the sim aspect it's basically any other platformer out there.

The sim tied to the combat sequence is what made act raiser so badass in the first place. Made you feel like you were actually defending your subjects since you always had to go stomp the ass of whatever monster that eventually was discovered through building the city.

>>2871963
I don't even think it's as good of a platformer, the hitboxes seem fucked up compared to the first one. Soundtrack isn't as boss either

I would probably say Crystal for me as well. I've probably played through the game at least half a dozen times.

I absolutely loved Mario Tennis too, but the story mode was incredibly easy. I didn't drop a set in singles the first time I played though the game even though I didn't know the rules of tennis very well.

Why did the Rareware developers decide to make the unarmed striking animation in Goldeneye a karate chop? This is something I've always wondered. Why not a regular punch, like in Perfect Dark and TWiNE? Is it a reference to one of the films?

Feel free to ask questions about extremely minute things in games here.

Another thing I've always wondered is why, after acquiring it, you instead use the sniper rifle's stock to attack enemies when unarmed. It's such a strange detail. Why the sniper rifle out of all guns?

Man, if only I could meet the developers. I'd have to so many autistic questions to ask them about this and Perfect Dark.

Because Bond chops Xenia in the movie.
