Which one is better? I recently got one of those cheap snes/nes controller from gearbest and they're total shit.

Where you live, which games are more popular? Are there many like-minded people you can still talk to?

Here in Germany I met a surprising amount of people who prefer older games. Most were heavily biased towards Nintendo games though. The most frequent opinion I heard was how the retro pads are much superior to the modern gimmicky accessories.

I played it a bit, but dropped it because of no translation (that I know of). What makes it the best in your opinion? Goemon has a lot of great games.

>secrets not optional

WHY

jesus christ, this is why Doom II never got as popular as the first one and is only redeemed by mods

I hear it only gets much, much, worse from here too

I was browsing RomHacking.net for some good hacks and I came across pic related.
The worst part is they categorize this as an 'improvement'.
Are they fucking retarded?

So aside from Naked Mario 124 what are some of the shittiest rom hacks you've seen/played?

>>3740890
Amazing game, where you can finally defeat Shenlong and stand a chance with Ryu.

But really, it also has a lot of problems. Deathscythe has an obvious infinite. Shenlong has that cool spear attack that knocks you down from half screen (which he can conveniently cancel). While some characters have excellent damaging combos, others have shit. But nothing compares to Epyon with his basically unlimited chains. Thank god he's only accessible with a password.

That said, it's still an excellent fighter for fun, with great graphics and music. A must play for everyone looking for a fighter.

Epyon's a pushover when you realize it has no Vulkans. You can just stand back and shoot it to death if you want to cheese the final boss.

Do you want nice EAX environmental effects in your old ish PC games (such as Unreal '97, the first game to use EAX effects)? Of course you do.

Some background: EAX was a proprietary audio API by Creative back in the early 90s and 2000s for making games have nice audio effects such as environmental based reverb and 3D stereo and such. Quite a lot of well known games during the period picked up support for the technology, most of the big ones in fact. It was originally tied to Creative soundcards only as the effects were done by the hardware, So you needed a Soundblaster or Audigy to benefit.

When Vista released, Microsoft fucked Creative over by removing some directx API they used to do EAX. In response Creative released a way to emulate the hardware effects in software. But Creative, being massive jews of course, artificially limited this program to people who still had Creative soundcards in their machine, even though the processing was all done with software now and the hardware could not be used.

Anyway, i went on a search for how to bring EAX to muh old PC games to play on my toaster laptop which definitely doesnt have Creative soundcard, and now im posting the archive i have compiled with the files and instructions inside you need to do it yourself without needing to research random forums threads and shit.

I would say it is worth it. Doom 3 in particular takes on a new atmosphere with the reverb effects, since most of the game occurs inside.

Here is the VT report for the archive, you can check file hashes yourself or just reupload to VT if you like. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/2d64454b2b9248e8be2cd2eff18ecea594094fb332a0776d69ec5226449267eb/analysis/1484548515/

I only have like 2 games that use EAX, but neither of them have given me any shit for not having a Soundblaster card.

Tron 2.0 works fine for me with it on, although I have the killer app mod installed.
The other one is Bioshock, which is also working just great.
>>
>>3740894

Its not like the sound wont work at all if you dont have a soundblaster. It will just be basic software sound without EAX effects.

See how it modifies the feel of Doom 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmEencPw5d8 [i cant into embed]

Theres no reason games couldnt have always had nice reverb and 3D audio as standard, it was just a lot of history with Creative being MASSIVE litigious jews back in the day, and then everyone stopping caring about audio quality for years. Thats changing though, for eg the latest release of OpenALSoft can do both decent HRTF audio and EFX [a thing which can do everything Creatives EAX 5.0 could do and more] as standard and for free. So hopefully the audio situation in games should improve in the next few years.

The copy I bought from their website (before it went on steam) was the stand alone game. They only let you download it once, if you format your harddrive like I had to then its gone and you'll have to buy it again. Just get it on steam if you're wanting a pc copy.

I understand why sports games are, since they're annual releases. Racing games I don't get since so many are different from each other. That and they only became yearly within the last decade.

When a genre emphasize realism then it becomes obsolete as soon as the new version comes out. This logic doesn't apply to games like Mario Kart which don't emphasize realism and there are major differences in sequels and not just better physics and graphics.

Fun when you hack in multiplayer and play a four player LAN game with one player of each class.

Some of the enemies and spells are just carbon copies of vanilla stuff (wall of lighting instead of wall of fire original spell donut steele), but there are enough new things that it's worth checking out.

More difficult than the normal dungeon though, so if you drop right in with a new character instead of leveling a bit under the church first expect to get fucking dunked on.
