The waterfall in the third level. Primitive, yes, but to me it was beautiful

Is TR3 worth playing? I loved 1 but 2 was kind of meh because you were barely in tombs and you mostly fought shootbangs rather than animals and monsters.

>>3582130
I know that feeling, I can't remember the level name but the water one where you empty out this big room of water and its got these high up bridges, i remember it looking really stunning but then when I went back to it, theres this crazy clipping distance so you can't even see the other side of the room.
I don't even remember it being like this!!!!

Pay attention to the wind. The speed and trajectory matter a lot.

Technical characters boast better results than Power characters.

Only max out the putting on the first shot. Doing it any other time is pointless unless you like positive feedback with the NICE SHOT shit.

I may be speaking of an entirely different Mario Golf altogether but I'm sure it still applies.

If you're playing a friend don't forget to talk shit with the c-buttons.

By playing Hot Shots Golf, preferably 2 or 3. Master that and Mario Golf will seem like the child's play it's designed to be.

Diddie Kong is faster. Oh wait, who is this chick?

>>3581913
She was busy changing Kiddy's diapers in Not-Canada.

I've never understood this criticism. Not all girls with blonde hair are the exact fucking same. Tiny is a different character with a different personality. Look at the flower on her, look at her hat, how she sounds. She is a super cute girly girl. Dixie's character isn't an overload of cuteness. Tiny fits exactly with what they were trying to do in DK64. Maybe it started out being for Dixie but then they realized they would have to completely change Dixie and this flower girl was better.

I remember i almost asked for one for christmas, but changed my mind and got a virtual boy instead

>>3581745
Which games did you get?

>>3581832
A better question would be

>>3581745
In what world was a Virtual Boy and an R-Zone ever comparable gifts to ask for?

I mean, I only paid $20 or $30 for my Virtual Boy brand new in like 1998 but by that time I'm sure R-Zones were in the dollar bin.

>Also do the originals save your data to a new folder in the documents folder? I tried to find ways to change but couldn't find any.
They save to the game's directory for me, in a folder named "Saves".

Where did the originals go anyway?
Is Beamdog so aware that their "enhanced edition" is complete shit that they're actively removing them or something?

>>3581943
OK, I got it. What are some mods I should get?

2 never get's challenging

The remake of 4 is more challenging than the original 4 but the original gets hard about 70% of the way through and then get's easy as fuck for the rest of the game if you don't run away from any fights.

Never, really. You never have to grind, because any roadblocks or tougher dungeons can be cleared if you just play smart, though.

The challenge in most jRPGs is in preparation for the long, grueling dungeons where you might get buttfucked and will be forced to start from a saving point. And figuring out the boss patterns and weaknesses. Some people grind, some people learn how to use available resources well. Juggling the available items for occasions, using consumables and getting summons for Rydia will deterine your success.

It's a comfy adventure, mostly, though, and you should not have problems as a reasoning adult.

/v/ banned my ass again, now you guys are my friends.

Wasn't censorship. That entire game was an amateur hackjob when it came to the english translation.

Title screen in Silent Hill is differnet in English vs. Japanese versions. Japanese has a title screen very similar to SH2. In English however, it's a scene of something, what looks like outside in the fog of the city. Why they changed that is beyond me. Perhaps they felt the title was too bland.

You can look this up on emuparadise and other sites. Numbnuts.
Key word: DECENSORED.

>>3580980
Censored version looks better in my opinion.

>>3581007
Not only uncensored patches.
Some are better translations, bugfixes, improved sprites or music.

There was one I remember hearing about for Chrono Trigger on the Snes that included he PS1 cutscenes. But of course would work on emulator only.

>>3580942
Might and Magic 6 is my favorite but it's a very different take on the genre. Eye of the Beholder 2 is good if you don't mind lots of teleporting and pressure plate puzzles. Are you looking for real-time ones like Dungeon Master or turn-based like Wizardry? If turn-based, check out Wizardry 6 or Might and Magic 3.

I would start with the original Dungeon Master. It's still perfectly playable.

>>3580983
Wizardry is not a good start, especially not Wizardry 6.

man fuck off and do your thinking by yourself, faggot.

I own both the Nvidia Shield Portable and Tablet (non K1) and would say if you want a system just to play emulation or Android games and nothing else, then they're a fine handheld or tablet. Just remember, they're either discontinued (portable) or still selling it as of now if you go to the tablet. Hell, if you like the Nvidia Shield stuff, I would go get the tablet K1 as it will be around $200 right now or less new and with a controller, it's a nice portable emulation tablet. Also, the used market for the portable is a bit too high and you better spend it on the tablet with what they're asking for.

Still, if you already own a Android phone which have a decent specs today, just get a Bluetooth controller and you should be okay and much more cheaper. The rumor of Nvidia is going to make a 2nd gen portable isn't going to happen as they're putting their efforts right now on the new Nintendo hardware. I think this is the same for the tablet.

For new handheld to look at, the Chinese GDP handheld is something to look at but at the price they're asking for, I will wait and see impression about it for the people who buy it.

>>3580915
the nvidia shield portable is objectively the best handheld emulation device, bar none

>Is it true that they aren't actually 2D sprites, but basic polygons made to resemble them?
Yeah. Two triangles to form a square and then textured with the image data. You can kind of see it if you turn on wireframes.

There are actually more than you'd think. N64 has probably one of the best 2D-animated games from that era, Wonder Project J2, and it was also an early game from 96.
Pic is from Rakuga Kids, that's the sprite animation sheet for just 1 of the characters.

>Is it true that they aren't actually 2D sprites, but basic polygons made to resemble them?

I also remember reading this, but I think it also applies to PS1 and even the Saturn, I guess it had to fo with 5th gen's architecture change.

Can't post the news post because I keep getting a "Field too long" error, sorry.

My ex fucking loved this game so I was happy to trade it away in '99 after we broke up but then its value rose considerably and I felt I should try to pick up another copy but I also felt weird like I was being nostalgic for her but then I was checking out a retro budget bundle for completeness and one of the games I wasn't even interested in had been swapped for a copy. Not bad for five bucks.

On topic here are a couple similar unusual Playstation games that also share a creepy halloweeny quality as well

This game is the fucking shit. I forgot the story (if there is one), but I always liked how the game felt like you're trying to help the little dude survive a special kind of hell.

Try to get about three fifty

Take a picture of the front, back, and the PCB. Include a photo of it working. Clean the pins thoroughly before selling to avoid someone getting it and claiming that it isn't working when all they'd have to do is clean the pins.

If they are sought after items, I'd think you'd do well to list as an open auction unless you have a definite amount you want out of them. If any of them aren't as hot or if you have a set price that you want, do BIN with Best Offer option.

My wife and I love it. It really saves space.

I'm pretty critical of modern "retro" clone consoles but I have to give this thing really high marks. FPGA cloning is theoretically the most accurate cloning possible and I haven't read anything that would lead me to doubt it's the case here. It seems to have a good selection of features that while not as broad as the Jack DIY-NES 2 (its only direct competitor) does include HDMI (rather than VGA) and other such desirable features as a case, a 72-pin NES slot and controller ports at a similar price point.

I love mine. No problems as of yet. Plays all of my games great including the bootlegs I've found over the years and even works with my FDS which is a huge plus.
