Correction: Why is that some people are such faggots in comparison to non-faggot people?
Answer: Because they are faggots.

completely FMV with a goofy story about what D actually stands for. Maybe about an hour long if you know what you're doing. I had it for Saturn, had to look up a guide halfway through for a few parts.

Breath of Fire IV had a pretty nice visual style, don't you think?

I understand not having different sprites for every weapon, but they could at least implement different animations for each one.
And different half-dragon forms, that was a must. What happened? Did they run out of time?

Aside from maybe PoPoLoCrois I think it's the best looking RPG on the system period. But it wins out for not being a boring piece of shit.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's art style so reminded me of it; BoF IV and a Ghibli vibe.

Can anyone identify the game that's on the screen in this old picture I found of myself?
I really have no clue.
The picture was taken in around 1996 I believe.

MegaMan 5 on Game Boy. It's clearly being played via a Super Game Boy on a SNES.
Do you still have the game? It goes for quite a lot.

Thinking of selling my old sega Saturn games collection. I have 52 games, PAL region and most are excellent condition. Some are your average type of games while I have some rare games.
Would $1300 Australian forcalk of them be a fair price to sell them?
I hardly play my Saturn and have a lot of shit in my house I want to get rid of.

Can someone test this game for me?
I'm playing the NTSC J version on my 60hz modified PAL console (with pro UFO) and I'm noticing slight slowdown/jitter on some parts of the first level.
It's most noticeable falling from a top part of the level down to the ground quickly. I never noticed it before and want to know if it's normal SNES

Normy's Beach Babe-O-Rama has a dude who hangs on the beach but I'm not really sure if he surfs.

Its alright actually, worth trying at least. More than one boss would have been nice.

It's pretty shitty. Game is super bland and generic.
The gameplay is boring and the setting is boring too.
I wouldn't recommend it.

Sten sucks. I hate him. He's weak, he has no skills, and his special ability is pointless. Luckily I knew going in that there would be a part where I was forced to use him so I kept him leveled up. But what would have happened if I didn't? What if I got to Highfort with him being level 9 and not being able to kill a single monster when I only have him in my party? Would it have just been instant game over, start over from the beginning? It's really stupid they let you save inside the fort since once you're in you can't even leave, and as far as I could see, can't even exit the dungeon to heal at the inn or buy supplies because that idiot other monkey blew the bridge up.

What does /vr/ think of MUDs?

Threads asking that question pop up every now and then and I never see them get more than a couple replies. I don't think MUDs were ever very popular, if they were nobody cares to talk about them.
>>
What was the name of that one that's kind of an real-time action tournament?
Noting like a regular MUD. A match would start and all players would run through the rooms opening passages and grabbing weapons and such and try to finish each other off. If the match goes on too long, Death gets impatient and releases "dogs of war" and then "large dogs of war." When someone wins everything resets for the next match.
>>
>>3590575
Well, I have a lot of knowledge about MUDs but after reading your stupid post I don't want to talk about them here.
Should I play Final Fantasy Adventure or Sword of Mana?
Or are they different enough to warrant separate playthroughs?

Play FFA. Sword of Mana trashed the game up with modern gimmicks.

Are there any jRPGs before the PS2 SMT era that have strategies beyond hitting enemies with strong attacks and healing when you are low on health?
I want to try out some classics, but most of them seem to only offer gimmicks, like combo systems for even stronger attacks, rather than actual strategizing. I get the feeling that the ATB system was in a way an admission that most jRPGs have super simplistic combat, by forcing the player to make quick decisions to make up for the lack of real options.

Gameplay is way too dated and abstract in these games. Avoid most of them.
Try Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre and Front Mission 3.
>>
>>3589023
>abstract
What do you mean
>tactics games
That is not what I'm looking for. It's not even really the same genre. (And I already played FFT and I started Tactics Ogre)
>>
>job/character/stance designed to inflict status in a game
>status attacks are useless
Great job.
Also,
>abilities with special secondary effects, like stealing
>has less than 5% proc chance
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest gets a bad rep, but at least it dropped the pretense that you had to do anything more than clobber enemies with your strongest attack to win.
