I am getting the urge to finally complete (maybe perfect) some of the older FF games (1-5 and maybe 6), and I know by now probably all of them have had portable remakes. Having played the originals already, do you folks think it's worth trying out the newer versions, or just stick to the classic retro versions? On paper, the remakes should be the way to go, but I just get this feeling that they will be completely weird to play, not to mention losing some of the aesthetic that made the originals so charming ("These are pirates for chrissakes!"). However, new side-dungeons, no save bugs, more efficient menus and all that stuff sounds appealing.
Let me know what you think

Go with your feelings. Just play whatever you want. The joy of gaming comes from discovering things on your own.

Are you Yoda or something? Just give a fucking rec, or shut STFU. What you posted is totally worthless. It's like someone asking you what your favorite brand of pickles are, and you're like "just eat the ones that taste best to you..." It's moronic and you should fucking feel bad for contributing nothing at all to even this, a fucking WORTHLESS topic.

What is /vr/'s stance on Let's Plays?
Are there any good Youtubers who focus on retro games?
Is there any audience for those kind of videos?

I liked deceased crab suffering through la mulana, but after I played the game I am annoyed I ruined the game for myself.
On the other hand I'm glad he introduced me to it, and I beat the older version too. (but I never finished hell temple.)
He's sucked lately though.
I used to watch AVGN too, but he really did go downhill a lot.
I wouldn't argue with anyone saying face cams are cancer and virtually all the channels are crap, but I do watch them sometimes.

"Let's Play" is what I say to someone when we're actually going to fucking play something.

Its the Sega Saturns birthday today!
Do any of you have memories of this system from years ago, or has it always been just a curious oddity that you would read about in the battle between N64 and PS1?

I ended up getting a Saturn about a year ago just to play fighters megamix and it's been one of my favorite consoles ever since.
Even though most of the console game ports to the Saturn were trash I still think it had some good exclusives and arcade ports

Depends, I like old hardware outside of video games, so I prefer orignal hardware but when I just want to play a dos game, DOSBOX way easier.

>>2810932
What are you more likely to enjoy?
A physical old machine may add some nostalgia to playing the games, but seriously, it's old PC hardware. It wasn't that special, and those games work perfectly fine in DOSBOX. If anything, you'd want a CRT attached to a normal, modern computer.

Your most memorable /vr/ sound effect?
Mine would have to be the "whoo" noise the enemy cannon fodder make in the Spider-Man arcade game. You could hear it so distinctly over all of the other arcade cabinets. Hell, you could hear it over everyone bowling.

Has anyone had any experience with these replacement sticks? I want to get some replacements for my controllers, but I'm torn between getting the 'normal' style or the 'gamecube' style.
I'm not sure if I want to be a purist and go for the normal style, or if I want the comfort of using the gamecube style thumbstick (perhaps that will be easier to use it for certain mario party minigames that require you to rapidly rotate the thumbstick).
Are there any issues I should look out for? I hear that there are some sensitivity issues with these sticks. For example, the replacement sticks can be too sensitive for Goldeneye, or that it can be harder to do smash attacks in Super Smash Bros.
What's your opinion /vr/?

I got those replacement PCBs from the German guy for the GCN style sticks.
Flawless.
>>
I have a GameCube styled stick on one of my controllers. I haven't had any issues with it. I did have to get used to the new sensitivity, but once I did, my high score in starfox 64 rose a bit, and I got better at the Zelda shooting minigames.
tl;dr I like my replacement stick.
>>
I got a pair of the original styled replacements and outside of having a loose wiring issue which was easily fixed, they've worked just as well as the original

OMG, you guise!!! I have an Idea for a game all about knuckles!
Knuckles goes around Angel Island looking for the lost pieces of the Master Emerald after somebody breaks it.
The gameplay would be like the emerald hunting stages in Sonic Adventure, with all new stages and songs.
Get on it, Sonic Team!
(NOTE: I am not part of sonic team or sega in any way)

Actually sounds like it could be pretty good, dispite reusing the same old Sonic Adventure plot.
Just keep the rap songs out of it. The novelty only lasts so long.

Stop making Sonic games. They haven't been good in forever.

Fuck all people who call tank controls "clunky" or "confusing". This retarded meme needs to end right now.
You are literally braindead if you can't grasp it. There are two types of people in this world:
>smart people who understand simple concepts instantly
>knuckle draggers who lack eye-hand coordination due to underdeveloped brains
Don't fall into that second category. Just press fucking up to go forward. If you can't manage doing that, well, good luck ever getting a job that requires you to think.

Most don't understand that tank controls were meant to make it so you can keep going forward and change direction in keeping with the sudden camera changes.
>>
>>2808953
It also looped back around when some series continued using fixed or semi-fixed camera but 3D controls like with DMC. DMC4 has several parts that are only difficult/annoying because of a sudden camera switch
Why is Geno so fucking popular when there are much better characters than himself in the game?

To be honest I have no idea, he's supposed to be overpowered vejita/sasuke type but the game is easy as ball already as it is.

Are you seriously asking why a party member is more popular than an one-off boss?
And nobody fucking used Mallow ever. That leaves Geno and series mainstays. It's a no brainer why he's so popular, especially with that mysterious edgelord personality.

I can never tell what's going on with this guy's head. What's that yellow thing inside his mouth? I always mistook that for the eye. But the real eye (I guess) is that plain MS Paint grey circle next to the fin. It doesn't even look like an eye, but what else could it be.

There is always the question which version is the best, understandably. I've seen plenty discussion about Final Fantasy games and Street Fighter. Ofcourse who could forget SNES vs Genesis or Atari vs Amiga.
I just thought we could contain these questions in a general thread, instead of making a new one each time.
Personally, I'm wondering which version of the big three cinematic platformers are the best: Prince of Persia, Flashback and Another World. Many ports, many version, but which is the best.

Wonderswan Color or PSX, pick one.
