What are some of the most memorable vidya moments to you, /vr/? And I don't mean personal moments like when you and a friend double KO'd each other three times in a row in Street Fighter II. I mean plot point kind of moments.
When Master Miller takes off his glasses.

End of PDS when (major spoiler coming up)you find out that you(the player) are the "divine visitor" who was the external outside force guiding Edge thru out his journey. Broke the 4th wall in a very "whoa!" Kind of way.

But that was pretty fucking dope, though.
For those who own an Everdrive 64, would you say that you are happy with your purchase?
>>2872216
Yeah, works great and I don't have to support the retro jews to play games.
>>2872216
Yes. Mainly because N64 emulation is still shitty enough for it to feel like a worthwhile purchase. I got a V2 because the few extra games supported by the V3 aren't worth the extra cost to me personally.
>>2872276
Do you know why there are compatibility differences between versions? The N64 didn't have any coprocessor chips. Memory too small? Seems unlikeklyu.
I'm thinking about picking up a Saturn but I was a PS1 kid. I only had 1 neighbor with a Saturn and I remember it being pretty impressive.
Anyways, I know next to nothing about the console itself. I plan on playing on an HD TV, if I don't mind how my PS1 games look on my TV, will I find Saturn games to look terrible? Especially worried about the 2D games looking bad because the Saturn seems to have a lot of good 2D games.
Second, I plan on getting some Japanese imports because there was only a handful of games that came Stateside. Is the Saturn region-free?
Third, what's the difference between model 1 and model 2?
Thanks, guys.
>>2871791
>Is the Saturn region-free
No, you'll need a 4-in1 Action Replay. It fits into the cartridge slot in the back. It'll bypass region lock, give you cheats, act as a RAM expansion for games like X-Men vs Street Fighter and give you a lot more room for save data
>what's the difference between model 1 and model 2?
Pretty much just cosmetic.
Enjoy the Saturn bro. It's got a great (albeit expensive) library!
>>2871791
If you don't mind the way PS1 looks on your TV then Saturn won't bother you either. I couldn't stand it without an upscaler personally, but you're not me.
Saturn isn't region free but apparently quite easy to mod to play imports. I'm sure someone will post links soon. That's the better way to go anyways since the consoles are fairly cheap, but you'll be paying an arm and a leg for any game that's not shit.
Gongrats, you're in for a treat. Saturn has a ton of awesome games. What genres do you enjoy? We can point you towards some stuff.
>>2871797
Thanks, I'll be sure to get the Action Replay. Any good site for cheats as well?
>>2871803
I've been watching a lot of Youtube videos, most of the games look pretty fun. I'm mostly a fan of platformers but I also like a good arcade style game (like arcade racers, fighters, and shooters).
I'm not too excited about the prices, but I guess that's what makes collecting so exciting.
I was in Goodwill today and I saw an NES Advantage controller for sale for $15.
I didn't get it. I was kind of scared to buy it, Goodwill doesn't do refunds on electronics and I had no way of knowing whether the joystick was adequately responsive. The controller was so huge, I couldn't imagine playing a game with it.
What does /vr/ think about the NES Advantage? Yea or nay?
>>2871238
you shoulda changed the tag dummy
>>2871245
til you get a shithead who cares about theircommunity serviceand calls you out like a fatboy
>>2871245
If I was going to steal I would probably just grab something small and put it in my pocket.
I doubt they have cameras at Goodwill, at least ones that aren't on the registers.
Can we have a thread about games that are in first person, but aren't necessarily shooters? Pic related is pretty awesome and one of my favorite DC games. Shame that not many people played it as it has some unique gameplay features and branching paths that lead to 7 different endings.
>>2871054
Only thing I know about this game is the amazing as always art by Kazuma Kaneko. I really think some of his ballsiest and crazier designs are in this one. The game seemed okay, the first person sword gimmick was kinda neat.
Only other game like this, as in first person with a sword, that I know is probably some samura/ninja-y arcade game.
I'd also put Jumping Flash forward because while there is some shooting, just the movement and environments set it apart from your general "FPS"es as most know them.
>>2871057
Grow up
>>2871054
Try the King's Field and Shadow Tower series.
Also Baroque on the Saturn.
Hey /vr/, I started playing Star Control II. I read that I have limited time to finish the game, but is it enough to explore every galaxy?
Also any tips? For example, should I try to destroy as many ships as possible for RUs or just stay with mining minerals?
>>2870593
>is it enough to explore every galaxy?
There's only one galaxy. And no, you don't have enough time to explore every star system. The time limit feels a lot like the time limit in Fallout 1. It's strict enough that you can't ignore it but not so strict that it's excessively limiting. If you're concerned, there's something you can do to make it much less pressing (spoilers from mild to explicit):Found the Melnorme yet? Check out gas giant starsTrade for current events information until you discover something interesting about hyperspaceThere's a portal to quasispace at 043.8 : 637.3, open monthly 17th - 20th on the monthFind the Arilou in quasispace, talk to them to get the location of the warp podRetrieve the warp pod for them, get the portal spawner. Experiment with the portal destinations. All your travel times are now dramatically reduced
>>2870593
>Any tips
I don't want to spoil the game for you so I'll give you my patented Best Star Control 2 Newbie Tip:
If you get your ass kicked in ship combat learn to fight in a cowardly fashion with a Spathi Eluder. It is very safe if tedious to destroy even Ur-Quan ships by fleeing, dodging everything and launching B.U.T.T.s.
You can obviously find other ships and learn to fight with all of them but early on you can feel pretty weak with the starting selection.
If you want more time to explore every system/play at your own pace without the clock ticking down on you (and if it's your first playthrough, you WILL run afoul of the death march) then download the time dialation mod, or the delay mod. The dialation mod makes the game go much slower overall so other timed events also take longer to manifest, while the delay mod just puts off the final deadline without affecting any of the other events/general timeflow.
What does /vr/ choose?
>>2870454
Been awhile but I'm almost positive the plane is completely better in that situation.
>>2870454
It's pretty simple op. Hipsters choose the jet and real men choose the attack heli.
>pic related. Even when we move planes we use helicopters, that's how much more bad ass they are.
>>2870729
yeah, but then what do they move that helicopter with? this could easily turn into the crane copypasta.
Jesus, why is this game so hard?
I don't know, James
I remember this game having the most retarded control scheme ever conceived.
Did this game have any relation to Batman Forever on snes? They seemed very similar.
I just found this over in /t/ and thought you might enjoy it:
>>>/t/686313
Also Magazine/Advertising thread? I used to read the Bravo Screenfun alot because it was the first mag here in Germany wich had covered all consoles and PC and i liked to read about games i couldn't play because i didn't own the console.

those were times, lol
people were actually impressed by this? el oh el
well dude that's pretty fucking impressive for ega mode

ok dude
>>2867851
most computer platformers at the time were single static screens like Prince of Persia, just having screen scrolling was already a big deal.

If games were made with scanlines in mind, how come press release and magazine screenshots didn't have the scanlines baked in?
Are people really this stupid? You may as well be wondering why black and white photographs aren't in color.

Only stupid one here is you, dummy
Who cares?
Like all people I like me some light gun games Time Crisis, Virtua Cop, House of the dead, etc., but as CRT isn't an option for me i'm limited to the PS3 and Wii releases (which is a good selection but limited).
So i'm looking for emulating on PC and getting a Light gun to use and i'm looking for some advise.
I've seen some products online and theres a way to get a Wii remote running so i was going to start there but doess that work just as well as the dedicated products?
>>2866641
The Wii isn't a lightgun, so its going to work exactly like it always does. If you've been fine with it then just do it.
>>2866641
Some arcade emulators allow mouse input in lieu of light guns. If you can't get a gun working, try Mame++ o something
Time Crisis 4 first run had a HDTV Light Gun.
Plugged into the USB and had Sensors next to the screen
Couldn't tell you how many times I booted this game up thinking I'd get somewhere, but never could. It was fun, but I could never progress.
Any console port of Syndicate, I couldn't adapt to the controls at all.
>>2866294
The missions are all clearly outlined at the terminal. It tells you where to go and what to do when you get there.
It would have been a much more playable game if you could access the map from anywhere though instead of having to go back to the terminal every time
No in-game maps
No in-game tips
No tips or maps in local gaming magazines (I'm an eurofag and LotW was never released here)
No instruction manual
No internets to look for FAQs when I got this game
No fucking clue on where you are supposed to go or what you are supposed to do in the first place
Random exploration only
FINAL DESTINATION
Has anyone beaten this motherfucker legitimately without any kind of help I sure didn't...
Finally I dare anyone thinking the first Zelda game is cryptic or impossible to beat without guides to try this game out.
Haven't posted here in a while. What is Gayers Kid up to now?
His mullet and "bully mustache" always intimidated me. He probably picked on kids at school.
looks like someone that would kill cats with a Daisy BB rifle
>>2866305
that's not even possible
I have a pal version SNES. Does that mean I can play Australian and Europeans games?
>>2865638
>wanting to play games in an inferior refresh rate and resolution
Top kek mate. England an ice here, and I am glad I imported an ntsc monitor years ago. You never realize how shitty our 50hz and bordered resolutions suck until you play games how the japs meant them to be played.
>>2865676
lol you fucking moron you didn't need an NTSC monitor, most here can do 60hz if you're using RGB scart
>>2865638
If you have an ntsc SNES, you can play PAL games with a very small and easy mod to your SNES (requires just a pair of pliers, seriously)
