I'm not gonna lie. I would totally read that book, if only because it looks absolutely ridiculous (in the fun, Doom kind of way).
>>2849264
>The Berenstain Bears
>Berenstain
>stain
I swear to god it was Berenstein
What game is the best example of FMV done right?
Spycraft: The Great Game
Even included cameos from Oleg Kalugin (former KGB Major-General) and William Colby (former CIA director),
>>2854062
The 7th Guest
Realms of the Haunting
Corpse Killer 32x
who /MetalSlug/ here
They look really neat. Where do I start with them?
>>2853648
If you ask me I'd start with the first one. Not perfect, but it's simple enough with a fair amount of difficulty.
>>2853637
One of my top favorite series.
>>2853648
1 is must play. 2 is obsoleted by X. X is 2 without the slowdown and some minor tweaks. 3 is the generally agreed upon pinnacle.1 is my personal fave though.
1st Mission and 2nd Mission on NGPC are also worth playing.
AVOID EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE IT GETS REALLY BAD STARTING WITH 4.
Which installation is the best?
Is it pic related?
red alert 2. Its the best of all worlds.
>>2852085
Tiberian Sun IMO
>>2852085
Red Alert is overall better but for some reason I always preferred C&Cs campaign. Both great games so you can't go wrong playing either one.
Which version of Street Fighter II is the best?
Super Turbo for competition.
Hyper Fighting for pre-supers balance and fun.
Super Street Fighter II the New Challengers
hyper fighting, turbo is way too fast
Favorite N64 game?
the one that looks blurry
Singleplayer? Zelda: Majora's Mask
Multiplayer? Battletanx and Battletanx: Global Assault ( global assault is also on playstation though )
i know it's a meme choice
All memes aside, was the 32x really that bad?
>>2840362
well there are like 3 games for it that aren't shit so yeah.
if you meant technically speaking? of course, why the fuck did they use cartridges?
note: i owned every sega console and add-on growing up.
>>2840369
Don't need to use carts. With the SegaCD connected the 32x can use CDs.
After Burner II
Space Harrier
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing
at least 4 good games but the problem is none of them are exclusive and besides Virtua Racing, none of them are the best version.
Why did a fair amount of ps1 titles not take advantage of those analog sticks?
Did you know the analog sticks were the L3 and R3 buttons, too?
>>2838281
Thought that was only on DS2 forward?
>>2838279
Because, on release, the PS1 didn't have the analog sticks.
It only did somewhere halfway down the line IIRC, when they got your pic's sticks.
Not too long after they introduced the now-standard bubble sticks.
What build will completely decimate the game? I want an easy time through all combat.
Also, I played once and had what I thought was a decent lockpicking score, but everything I tried to open never did. Do you have to try multiple times to pick a lock and eventually it will work?
10 LCK --> find Alien Blaster immediately
>>2820685
It's based on a dice roll. Best bet would be to save before you attempt anything regardless of your stats.

Honestly you just fuckin taught me what that actually is supposed to look like.
Has this kind of thing ever happened to one of you guys? I'll greentext because why the fuck not
>Go to gfs house to exchange Christmas gifts because normalfag
>Her parents have always been really big gamers, or at least her mom has
>They literally have every nintendo and sony console as well as 2 arcade machines
>So I come over and walk upstairs where they have all their gaming shit and gf turns to me
>"Oh! By the way, we got a new sega"
>Oh cool, the genesis?
>"... I don't know just sega"
>Well does it play older games or games that looks like they would be on a playstation
>"I don't know, old games?"
>just laugh it off even though it's dumb she doesn't know what kind of console she has
>later that evening go downstairs and her dad is in the kitchen
>She still lives with her parents because broke college kids
>Somehow gaming was brought up again and the dad goes
>"Oh did you see we got the new sega! it has like 90 games on it"
No one would fucking say "Oh we just got a new nintendo" or "We got the new microsoft" this pisses me off
>>2853554
>No one would fucking say "Oh we just got a new nintendo"
You wish.
who cares, post pics of your gf's tits or gtfo
so...did you ever find out which sega? sms, genesis/mega drive, dreamcast, saturn, nomad, game gear? clone with built ins?
also
>segagenesis.jpg
>mega drive mk2
get it right america.
on topic, my gramps calls any console 'computer'. hes kinda right.
Why did the planet help Cloud out so much throughout the game?
>>2853494
What game?
>>2853494
Because of water vapor and condensation.
>>2853494
why are her boobs so big?
What are some of the earliest examples of 3D graphics in console gaming? Isometric graphics, prerendered sprites and mode-7 effects don't count. I mean full on 3D rendering with polygons.
>>2853029
We had a thread like this a while ago.
>>2853029
Star Cruiser.
Ranger X also had wireframe cutscenes, pretty awesome looking for such an old game (and without extra hardware).
Hi there /vr/. I'm thinking of buying these game but screwdrivers and a tri-wing screwdriver so I can take apart my games, and consoles go clean them. Would these screwdrivers be good?
http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/371085566580
The only reason I am asking is because I just want to make sure they're not poorly made.
Look pretty standard in passing.
>>2849913
Those look exactly like mine.
>implying you're ever going to take apart enough games/systems to damage either
>fucking hard
>based on one of the best works of art ever conceived by mankind
>amazing main menu theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qehtKomO8u4
Am I the only one who likes this game? Geez, what's so bad about tank controls anyways, I love it.
ITT: RE "CLONES".
>>2849528
OP I had the PS2 version of Evil dead, I used to play it all the time but the CD was badly scratched up and it fucked with the sound
i really wish I could play it again
>>2849528
Ever play the original Alone in the Dark? It's pretty much RE's grandpa
>>2849536
Dude that game freaked me the hell out when I was 4
It took me forever to figure out what to do, no hand holding
