What do you guys think of the legacy of kain/blood omen games? For some reason I never got around to playing them back in the day, and I'm wondering if they're still worth getting into?
They're definitely worth it. I'd suggest starting with Soul Reaver first though, because you'll get into the storyline more easily, but it works either way.

This, unless you take everything said in the game to heart, in which case go with BO

>and I'm wondering if they're still worth getting into
Sure, why not?
>99 rare candies
>99 master balls
>not using it for the based palette editor
Someone once told me that Pokemon in red/blue aren't as strong when evolved with rare candy as they would be if you evolved them by fighting.
I believed it was true for a long time, but methinks someone just really wanted me to waste my time.
>>4056398
you gan stat boosts by defeating gym leaders. but these can still be obtained with pokemon evolved with rare candy by using drugs and vitamins items
What's your favorite D pad? Mine is the Sega Genesis 3 button controller's D pad.

Shit taste, OP. That's the worst one. Overly large and inflexible.
The NES seems to be pretty unreliable, but most after market systems use emulation. Any ideas of non emulation NES after market systems. Besides the Analogue Nt
>>4056121
Use a Pi.
Not memeing, It'll do for NES. Basically what the nintendo mini uses.
>>4056121
>most after market systems use emulation
Nope. Only hipster shit. Use teh googles. There are literally thousands of hardware clones. Most are shit but some are very good.
Just get a real NES system and flashcart you idgit.
I've just started playing this, and it's fun as shit, but... How in the goddamn fuck do I do some of these more advanced maneuvers that I've seen people do?
Stuff like grenade jumping and bunny hopping is hard as hell. How do I git gud /vr/?
Quake thread I guess.
>>4056108
When grenade jumping, switch out to your shotgun right after firing a grenade and shoot 4 times. The grenade will explode after 4.5 shots so you can practice timing it beforehand by just holding down the fire button with the shotgun. For bunny hopping you can start with a circle jump which is basically doing a 120 or 90 degree turn on the ground while strafing and moving forwards then jumping. If that's too complicated you can try just looking and strafing right then left to start off. After that, let go of W and use A and D depending on which direction you want to go. So if you want to go left, hold A, then smoothly turn your mouse left instead of jerking then do the opposite if you want to go right. You also have to keep jumping but don't hold down spacebar too long or you will lose speed. In Quake 2 and 3 you have strafe jumping which works differently. This is the best explanation I could write while taking a shit, ask /arena/ on /vg/ if you want to know more.
>>4056243
> let go of W
It's always this that gets me with Quake 1 bunnyhops. The ideas of letting go of the forward key to go forward faster just messes with my head. I find it very difficult to process this simple thing. I keep doing the left/right motion fine, but I can't help but hold +forward and ruin my speed.

KovaaK is a great guy for showing the basic mechanics and how to duel if you're looking for tips on playing online.

It's too late for me to own this game.
It hurts.
Holy shit I just played this game and the hype is real. One of the most fun games on the NES
>>4056085
Is this your "thing" or something? You pretend Dinowarz is good even though its an ugly, awkward game with mediocre level design and terrible controls?
>>4056157
No, it's a thread to weed out the newfags it's posted every few months with the same wording and it always attracts the newest of newfags.
So ya, welcome you giant faggot.
>>4056262
Well shit. Ever get any takers who just really want to be in on the next big "cool" retro game and believe you?
Hey /vr/ what is your favorite retro donkey kong game? Mine is Donkey King 64
Donkey Kong 2
Tie between Donkey Kong Country or Donkey Kong '94
Though I gues DK'94 is more of a Mario game.

Team fortress 2
Does Mario have the deepest lore?

No. Sega have the deepest lore.
Ultima and Warhammer /40k.

What game is this
Okay, so this might sound like a dumb question, but how does the PC Engine (Duo-R specifically) play burned CD games. As in could I burn a rom onto a blank CD and pop it in? Or is there more to it? Much thanks!
You mean like a rom of a hu card game? No you need to use an image of a cd game, preferably a bin.
>>4055893
Yes you burn the iso and you are good to go, that's it.
>>4055905
this
CD-R's burn the laser faster, but with how expensive PCE games are these days, whatever
What's some retro vidya with good electronic music?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V974MkN7v94
>in b4 "every retro game had electronic music cuz synths"
I mean electronic "style" music like house, techno, trance, dance, stuff like that. Streets of Rage 1 through 3 would classify as such, Megaman not

Bootleg Thread?
Looking for funny Bootleg covers, info, screenshots, or other stuff.
Is that actually a game? I thought it was just some random pic.
>>4055758
No it was a random pic.
If this sinks I could just talk about the grand dad reboot game Red Fire's making.
7 grand dad is probably the most well-known one
The fact that hacking a psx and emulating it is way easier than with its counterpart, the n64, do you think it affects how both consoles are perceived?
>>4055343
Playstation sold a lot more units thanks to the piracy.
Yes.
>>4055387
Piracy which didn't matter until the 2000s... Ya huge reason, champ.

He's talking about mod chips and CD burners, you dumbass.

Kawasaki Super Bike is pretty fun.
Tracks are in full 3D I think. Like the track is a series of 3D planes with some basic objects like tunnels and stands made out of polygons.
