The only few people left in Q3A are hardcore fuckers who'll explode your ass with the railgun as you spawn.

Everyone's on quake live.

What have we been playing for the last 17 years?

>>3604293
Quake 3 was pinnacle of multiplayer fps. Everything after that has just worse and worse.

(you)

We're here to hate games. I'm jaded, cynical and proud of it.

welp start with a decent faction, some are easier to play then others. Zhakarov with the university gives a substantial early lead in tech, Deidres gaians have an easier time terraforming and capturing mindworm boils. Morgan gets early economy boost that helps buy units.

set your formers and early explorers to auto for quicker turns. you want two to 3 cities dedicated to pop growth for research and energy and at least one city next to a good mineral source to be a production factory.

is there anything specific you are having a problem with? mid and late game can be interesting depending on where people start off at on the map.

also get xfire if you don't have it already.

>>3603292
i have xfire and the 3.5b mod


well the interface is kind of obtuse and i don't follow what my goals by midgame are

this game doesn't really punish you for infinite city sprawl right?

>>3603318

It tries too by spawning more mind worms and locusts but by then it's hard to lose a city to them unless playing on higher difficulties. Also drones riot and you gotta nerve staple them if your policies allow. Policies generally determine your playstyle after that, police state or democracy type of choice.

midgame you can get an early UN victory when you have everyones comm and are strong enough. I usually start pushing for planetbusters and covert ops by that time, also getting viral/chemical weapons units on standby. generally it's a good idea to secure your own continent by then and develop sea bases and an air force.

also since you have xfire the alien races have different race specific victory conditions that are pretty cool

>Were you furious when you first had to use a mouse to play a game?
Do you have autism, OP?

I didn't. I just continued using the keyboaRd for a while, then adopted a basted hybrid of mouse and arrow keys. I didn't go full wasd until 2014.

hes referring to the early 90s when it was common to play with arrow key controls and no mouse in doom multiplayer
i think youre just a little too young for this board...

yes

In before a NA Super NES gets posted and someone shits on its design for being too boxy and/or purple.

Dropped

>>3598194
>Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels (SNES)
Is it still hard on SNES considering it saves on every level?

>>3588285
It's not as tight or enjoyable as the first or second game. I'd recommend playing through Secret of Mana first before you go back to it.

>he hasn't gone to the wilderbeast stage yet

>>3588296
SoM is shit on by SD3.

If your party makeup was shit then it's going to be shit.

Take Hawk or Kevin (or both) and then Lise and you'll have a way better experience.

Better pacing than SoM. Story isn't a fucking mess like SoM. Better gameplay since it's more about brawling rather than spamming Magic the entire game.

Was tedious as shit even then. Final Toccata for that long slowly starts to erode your soul.

>>3610036
But ... it was flipped, instead of rotated

>>3610048
>Final Toccata for that long slowly starts to erode your soul.

That's pretty much the point, I think.
And I'm saying it as a guy who just now had it on loop for an hour at work.

It's on of my fav RPG's of all time OP.
My fav character was Sundown even though his arc was so disappointingly short.
I've been dreaming of a sequel for this game, but old Square is long gone...

>>3609871
love the game
favourite is cube for some reason

>>3609871
It is a decent game, but I think it's pretty evident why it bombed, too gimmicky for its own good and overall poorly planned.
I like how every story plays a bit differently, and I think all those little narrative gimmicks like Pogo's chapter using unorthodox language and Cube being a silent protagonist is cool, but the game desperately needed much more polish on everything.
I guess my favorite character was Akira, actually I'd say my favorite character was Matsu, but eh, not a MC.

VA2(US launch model) due to over amplification can have garbled audio with some games.

VA3 through VA5 Model 1s would offer the best over all video and audio quality, as well as compatibility with all games/add-ons etc. These are non-launch model "High Definition Graphics" label models.

VA6, 6.5, and 6.8 offer equal quality in terms of audio and video, but add the TMSS screen at start up, which amount to a software check to block unlicensed games. This affects next to no games, and has no effect if you're using a flashcart.

VA7 has quite bad audio quality.

Early Model 2s are very similar to the VA7 Model 1 and should be avoided. Later Model 2s have better audio quality, but have their own quirks in terms of balance between FM and PSG.

All Model 3 consoles have absolutely wonderful video quality, even under composite, and some of the cleanest audio you can get from a Genesis, but is held back by only having mono audio, and not supporting any of the add-ons, and several games due to hardware changes and fixes applied to it. Stereo as well as some of those hardware changes can be restored with modding.

Essentially ANY Model 1 or 2 can be made perfect with modding, but a VA3-5 would be the absolute best without modding, with VA6-6.8 following up right after.

None of the standalone Genesis models support S-Video without modding; An S-Video mod is simpler on some Model 2s and all Model 3s, but can be done on earlier ones with a bit more work.

>>3609589
I'd add a 32x helps video output and can be modded for s-video.

>>3609589
Should add to this that if you want to mod, early Model 2s are probably the best. Ironically come with a higher quality audio DAC than other models due to the CMOS Yamaha.

>on your android phone?

>>3609224
Yea my g5

>>3609218
I don't know what emulator is best but I think there's actually an android port of FFT.

I generally find phones worthless for video games due to awful touch controls but TRPGs like FFT might be playable.

>>3609169
Oh yeah, I used both the graphic mode setup and editing glide.ini to set the resolution and this problem always happen.

>>3609169
There's no reason to run the game in dosbox anymore. Use this instead.

Thanks. Gonna try this out as soon as I figure out how to compile this stuff.
