What are some of the absolute worst power ups featured in games? I'd have to say the flame gun in the first Contra game on the NES. Why the fuck did they have to make it so damn slow?
>>2860678
The flame gun is easily the best power up in the game. what are you smoking?
>>2860687
I don't have anything against the flame gun, but what makes it the best power up in contra?
>>2860687
How the hell is it more useful than the spread gun, which can demolish all the enemies on half the screen? Hell, the flame gun is more useless than the flamethrowers in Alien. The "F" might as well just stand for "Fuck You", because thats what I scream every time I accidentally pick it up.
Is there a legitimate reason for the large distaste of emulation on consoles? Just the disappointment or irritation I hear in somebody's voice when they say "it's emulated instead of ported", even if it's indistinguishable from the legitimate thing.
I think it's just due to >paying for ROMs
In general emulation is a poor representation of the original.
Stuff like horrible filters and mobile emulation are often the main focus which are terrible in all forms.

This and only this.
Who was better in the role of fan using ninja?

Kitana's outfit is mere Outworldian cultural appropiation
Kitana.
Kitana's fans were more deadly, but Mai has better tits.
Mai.
Which game has the best blue skies? Also bonus; why were games so sunny before?
The original Sonic games and Jet Set Radio. And After Burner.
Fuck, pretty much every old SEGA game.
>>2857258
Maybe to not have something so graphically intensive like rain? Rain can be literal sprites but can still make older games chug. Also pic related I used to play. Played it with the ps1 steering wheel and it was hard but fun.
>best blue skies?
My vote goes to Outrun
>why were games so sunny?
Games were more about having fun and nothing has dat comfy feel like a beautiful sunny summer day!pulled that out of my ass. How did I do?
Now that the dust has settled, is it dusty?
I don't even have my SNES anymore.
It did use to be pretty dusty though (dusty environment in general).
Dust now the that settled has
Thx for asking.
What's the best Dreamcast game?
I don't think there can be just one best game.
I'd say my personal top games are:
Grandia 2
Skies of Arcadia
Bangai-O
Bomberman Online (it was so much fun when the servers were up, and there were so many modes)
Guilty Gear X
And of course JSR.
Maken X is pretty underrated
JSR or Shenmue II. My two favorite games full stop desu.
Most overrated Classicvania game?
I thought this series was supposed to be hardcore as fuck, but I beat Rondo of Blood without dying once.
All of them.
>>2856924
I call bullshit.
And if valid upload a video of that, internet loves that kind of shit.
Shitposting will commence shortly.
Anyone else ever have the misfortune to play this piece of shit?
Just picked this up recently. Haven't played it yet, but from your description I'm glad I didn't pay much for it.
>>2861893
No. It was creation to cause pain in you.
Looks pretty awesome to me.
Are there any good Ice Games out there? Specifically Ice Platformers?
I really like Ice Levels in platformers.
Arcade Platformers like Ice Climber count.
please and thank you

Mega Man 1 is like an all game ice level. He's a slippery little fuck in the first one.
Penguin Adventure on the MSX
I dont really ever browse this board, so sorry if this is off-topic.
Im really particular about fov in games. In first person games, anything lower than 90 gives me this weird eye-strain/headachey sort of feeling. It's not quite motion sickness, but it's something similar. To be honest, even 90 is a bit too low.
I'm a big fan of the Souls series, so I want to play through the Kings Field series soon, but every time I try to play old dungeon crawlers I can't get past the low fov.
Does anyone else here have the same sensitivity to low fov in games? How do you deal with it in older games where increasing the fov usually isnt an option?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality_sickness
I get the same thing with old first-person games. My theory is it's the same sort of effect as reading in the car; incongruities between sensory focus and motion.
>but every time I try to play old dungeon crawlers I can't get past the low fov.
Play Wizardry 1-5. The entire screen devoted to the field of view and widescreen.
Mapping is done by hand for extra immersion.
Movement is turn based (except for Wiz4) so motion sickness shouldn't be an issue.
>>2861242
Isn't Wizardy (and clones) only 90 degrees too? AFAIK everything before Quake was fixed FOV 90 or worse.
Hey guys, im looking for something fun to play with my not-really-a-gamer girlfriend.
Any ideas as to any retro games you think we may be able to enjoy together? All i really have in mind right now is Bomberman and Hello Kitty World (she's a pretty big fan of hello kitty and cats in general)
Splatterhouse.
On a Retron5.
wild guns
sunset riders
pretty much any capcom beat 'em up
donkey kong country 1 & 2
turtles in time
I don't see a dedicated Fallout thread, so let's do this.

You're pretty fucking stupid, aren't you?

What I've noticed is that he's playing a version of Fallout GURPS. What could have been? http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Fallout_GURPS
Sup /vr/, can we talk about the greatest action game ever made?
That's a platformer, this is an action game.
Just saying OP, the Revenge of Shinobi brigade's gonna arrive and they won't cut you slack.
People should check out the Enhancement Hack for III: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/827/
Posting this thread to remind everyone Umihara Kawase Shun: Steam Edition is out.
Climb up... please, climb up...

I dont remember those homing clams

Umihara thread?
So I got around to reading the Umihara manga and it's almost completely unrelated to the game, except for the looks of the main character and her being able to use a lure that stuns.
Her name also seems to be written 海原 instead of the usual 海腹 (both read the same way, though). First name is unchanged.
In the manga Umihara seems to possess some power to breath underwater, and this is why she is targeted by some evil organization that also has captured her grandfather IIRC.
Problem is, the magazine it was serialized in got canceled altogether just after the Umihara manga had got 8 chapters. Only 6 of these are in the Tankoubon which I have.
I'd like to read the remaining 2 chapters, but I have no clue as how to get them.
So I finally beat Megami Tensei 1with cheats
Obviously I am too fucking casual for dungeon crawlers this old, so what I did was make my own cheat codes! If anyone is interested in them, here they are
Exp multiplier
7E1002FF
This will either give you infinite Jewels or infinite items in slot 1
7E0E80FF
I don't remember what these ones do but they should be infinite health for Nakajima and Yumiko
