Weird to think there was a point in my life where I got so used to the controls for FPS games on the N64 I actually had a hard time adapting to the dual analog controls on PS1 shooters.

>>2849350
>Firstly, Outtrigger did it the best.

No, Quake 3 Arena on DC did the best.
Analog for looking, ABXY to move and strafe, shoulder buttons to jump and shoot.

That's all you need in an FPS game.

Fur Fighters had the same control scheme on the Dreamcast. I remember it took a while to get used to when I was a kid, but it's definitely the best way to handle it on a controller with one analog stick.

Anything from this company. One of their games, called Bloodbath, is so obscure it's not listed anywhere. There's zero information on the internet.

I think I played that. Got it off aol as a free rpg or free game or something. It seemed terrible and I immediately dropped it. Was pissed I spent like three hours of our aol on it.

I know I'm not the only one, but no one ever talks about it. It's monkey Zelda, it got bad ratings because fags don't know shit.

That's weird, I always found the series lighthearted and humorous.

>>2848887
You gotta remember that this was top tier sprite art when it came out. A lot of Neo Geo games were still being published throughout the 5th gen.

who is in the center, sub zero?

there's also robin hood and chicago 1930

Had Commandos 1, really cool game.

Shame they felt the need to keep adding things to it.

Moment I saw an ad for 2 that talked about the 3D map aspect I was turned off immediately.

Anyway the maps looked gorgeous, loved the art and loved the layouts. BTW which game is the OP pic from, can't be from 1 IIRC

>>2848418
>robin hood
Heard it was good, but the setting is not quite my cup of tea.
>Chicago 1930
Heard it was awesome, but never ever saw it in the retail, even when it was brand new, also dont know anybody who played it or even saw it on the shelves. Guess my town just got unlucky. How is it? And were there some Commandos-like games not made by Spellbound, aside from Korea: Forgotten conflict?

here's a video link if you don't know what I mean...

It would take you not even two minutes to download an emulator and the ROM to figure out if you enjoy the game or not.

>>2848389
I don't have a game pad for my computer.

slightly off topic sry but damn, there's another cover for the "based Saturn cover art compendium" dayum

>>2848319

yeah if Im being honest Im kind of leaning to saturn just cuz that looks damn nice.

Saturn version is a port of the original Model 2 game, a damn good one.

The PS1 version is different, kinda DoA 1.5, it has different outfits, backgrounds and 3D models. The 3D models are good but the backgrounds suck compared to the Saturn version.

pac-man clone

Castle.
To this day. I'm still, at best, 400 points off from a perfect game. I refuse to look up what to do. I wanna figger it out on my own.

Also, I used to like Sam Spade back in le day.

Holy shit, do you know where you are right now?

It's his firs thread on /vr/, just give him a cookie and let it go.

>>2848168
Yeah it's actually my first thread and I have been waiting for a response for a long time I just wanna talk about the game ;-;

If you don't enjoy the game then go play something else.

>>2847624
Well, it is a classic, so I want to know if I should play it just to have experienced it. On the PS4 port I understand that you can refill your heath whenever you want. I want to know if the story is worth playing through like that.

>>2847623
The gameplay is better than the story. Also you can just google the plot which will be more understandable.

>>2847471
Retroarch comes with a lot of shaders already, wtf are you talkin about?

>>2847471
Expecting hand feeding from what amounts to a free program that came from a shit ton amounts of hard work? Emulators were complex from the beginning. No one is forcing you to use them.

Morality is an illusion
t. master fedora tipper

What's so controversial about that?
Most people acknowledge that UW was years ahead of its time.
It's crazy that they included things like hearing range that served no practical purpose in the game.

>>2847129
Yeah OK but, actually I should rephrase my OP, the thing is there don't seem to have been any real fundamental game mechanic innovations in the genre since this game.
I mean, are people really sufficiently aware of this? It really doesn't reflect very well on game developers, does it? Why is it so hard to introduce real fundamental innovations to this genre? Why does it seem like reviewers constantly talk about games as if they do so anyways?
I guess that's sort of what I want to discuss.

>>2847139
I guess because gaming as a medium is iterative, so there's only so many truely innovative ideas that break the mold, so most games take mechanics that exist and try to either improve them, or expand them

Make it a sword, if you make it a stone you don't get to use it.

>>2847069
Sword, then bet it at the Coliseum for Illumina, duh. Turn the Cursed Shield into the Paladin Shield and it'll teach you Ultima. The magicite is bait.

The Advance version doesn't have this problem. :^)

>>2847030

just spam the life spell and avoid combat as much as you can

you always take the most southeastern cave. I was a dumb fucking kid and I even figured it out on my own.
