I got this + expansion but I can't force myself to play it. Am I losing much?
You're losing out on a great game with more depth than most modern RPGs, but it's understandable if you can't get into it. It's from a bygone era, so if you're spoiled by conveniences from more modern RPGs it'll be hard for you to get into it.
Play Ultima 4-6 instead. 7 misses a lot without them anyway.
You can also play the two Worlds of Ultima games.

What's the most accessible version of IV? The DOS version was too much for me. Heard good things about the Genesis version -- thoughts?
So these are on sale now
Are they good ports?
>in b4 steam
>XYZ: Enhanced Edition
>good ports
no.
nothing you can't do with mods.
>>3861759
Enhanced edition IS a mod.
>paying for old pc games
Just fucking pirate them, and I say this as a console collector fag.
I found fond memories playing this game but I never see anyone talking about it. It also doesn't have a sequel or anything. Did it even get any love at all? I think it falls in the same category as Turok and I would clearly play a "remaster".

But it does

>Acclaim Entertainment has announced that advertisements for its game Shadow Man: 2econd Coming for the PlayStation 2 are set to appear on gravestones across the UK as part of the first advertising campaign to use memorial plaques as part of a marketing strategy. The company is inviting relatives of the recently deceased to contact them if they are interested in subsidizing the costs associated with death in return for a small advertisement promoting the game with lead character Mike LeRoi's head and the logo as seen in the photo attached to this story.
>Shaun White, communications manager at Acclaim said, "The concept of what we're calling 'deadvertising' is entirely consistent with the theme of the Shadow Man: 2econd Coming game and provides us with a permanent presence for our advertising. Content and context are two important principles of marketing Shadow Man."
>The company is expecting a lot of interest. Interested persons who have recently lost a relative can get in touch with Acclaim at [email protected]. The company is also emphasizing the fact that advertising on gravestones falls outside of codes of conduct and regulations of any formal advertising bodies.

Played it as a youngster with my dad and bro. Was very creepy, we got pretty far but never beat it. The theme for Playrooms is probably the most unsettling video game music I've ever heard.

Is FFV the most replayable JRPG of all time? Even after exhausting all 5938759287598347 job combinations, you can start doing solo challenges for every damn job
>>3861342
It's not even the most replayable FF.

Uncharted Waters: New Horizons
>>3861351
I had a hard time enjoying 2 because it felt like efficiently defeating enemies was counter to character growth so the fights always felt unsatisfactory.
I'm playing 3 now and enjoying it a lot more.

oh man, we played that so damn much back in highschool.
Also, that lava pool stage that was the first episode bossfight.
I've used to play this on PC back when it was new but nowadays I have to say: Wtf is going on? Seriously I know it's aliens and dinosaurs and I am a native American and it's based on a comic but could someone please tell me what's going on because it's such a trip and a mindfuck. I can't make much sense of it.
This game seems really aggressive as well. Might be because its so fast. Also why is there no crosshair? This makes aiming amazingly hard and I am often guessing when there are guys on a platform above me throwing grenades (which I haven't figured out how to throw yet) every second. I guess in this situation I just have to pack track and find a third key or what do I have to do now?
Also what's with all those teleporters? This game is really...
GOOD GAME DESIGN AM I RIGHT FELLAS?
So Turok is a native American warrior who was sucked out of his universe and dumped into an alternate universe where there's superintelligent machines, aliens, and sentient dinosaurs among other wonders.
In this game you play as Tal'Set, the Turok most comic readers are familiar with. It turns out, Turok is an honorary position granted to gifted individuals who are tasked with saving the Savage Lands and universes at a time by mangling the bad guys and being smarter than everything else in existence.
In the games you shoot dudes. You're in the jungle because you are headed to kill the baddest dude in the land, The Campaigner. He's responsible for all the clumsy level design and lack of crosshairs, as well as the cyberdinos and bad guys, but not the monkeys or the frog men.
You'll get used to pissing away ammo, learn to love the knife and pistol. Shoot the frog guys with shotguns though it's really satisfying.
>>3860801
PC remaster has crosshair. You have to turn it on in the settings though.
What are some games I need for my nintendo 64? I feel like I got most of the shit worth owning. Its pretty fun even if all the games are choppy. n64 platformers just have a certain charm to them I havent really found in a new 3d platformers.

just finished this. what snes rpg do I play next? trying to curb off suicidal thoughts.
Live a Live or Lufia II
kidding about the suicide, I'm just bored.
This game was ridiculously fun.
Oh it still is. And so moddable.
>>3860148
I didn't realise people still played it. What are some worthwhile mods?
>>3860171
Difficult question. Most mods are just addon cars so you can download & install whatever you want to see ingame?
Check this "so you want to play..." for some ideas and links.
Anywhere I can match people online in this?
>>3859978
Fightcade is your best bet but there's nobody on WHP right now. If you have a Switch, you can buy the game on it, then have a setup you can easily take anywhere.
>>3859978
That game is mediocre even by b-grade fighter standards. Neo Geo has dozens of games better than it. If I was you I'd just move on to KoF/Garou/SamSho/Last Blade/whatever.
