Where did the shadows go?

"Rare" means "popular" now, eh?

>EarthBound
>rare
More like overpriced and overhyped.

Haven't you guys ever heard of rare earth(bound)s?

It was going to be a heavily remixed OoT
It got scrapped
A lot of the work done in it was salvaged into Master Quest

that's all

Upon replaying Silver, I realized this fight can actually be very easy. You can sweep Whitney no problem if you get a Drowsee and trade it for the Machop in the mall. Rollout is ineffective against Machop and Karate Chop burns through both of her Pokemon. My Machop was untrained at Level 14 and did fine. Still an issue in Nuzlockes but otherwise the game gives you an easy way to win.

>>3518410
Just get dig my man.

>>3518472
Rock Paper Scissors is an easy game when you know the future.

I have nothing against the thread, I mean the older threads were pretty fun, but there's oh so much we can talk about Yu-No before this inevitably turns in a Katawa Shojo circlejerk general.

What am I trying to say is, don't force it, we had our fun with the other threads, no need to start beating a dead horse.

Btw, has that retarded remake been released yet?

>>3510197
It comes out in two months.
The best Yu-no threads are normally when somebody finished playing and brings fresh blood to the discussion.

>>3510197
>>3510214
Honestly I made this thread hoping to talk about about more of the writer's games than just YU-NO.

Nobody really thinks it's better than the Genesis version. We just pretend it is so that people like you fall for the meme.

>>3525568

No. I like the Capcom game more as well.

I'm not saying anyone's entitled to anything, but it's a dick move to take the site down and not tell people what's going on.

Also I hope there's someone getting backups of the wiki now in case this shit happens again.

>>3502224
The site went down without my knowing. I've been distracted lately - finishing up a PhD - and I wasn't paying attention. My bad. It's back up now, and I plan to keep it that way.

Thats why it so expensive to buy now. People must hate it.

>>3520973

Is 28 dollars considered expensive?

People like this game because of the cyberpunk lore.

I just bought a Kongfeng GB Boy Colour and have played it for a few hours and this is my initial review. Feel free to AMA.

First of all, the build quality on this thing is surprisingly high for a knockoff. The plastic feels very sturdy and dense, almost like a real Nintendo product. The plastic has no flex to it and overall it feels very similar to a real GBC in my hands.

I'll get right to the part that you are probably wondering about though, which is the screen. The screen isn't perfect but overall it is really, really good. It doesn't quite have the same "wow" factor I got when I first turned on my modded McWill Game Gear, but that's to be expected since this is only a $30 system and the screen is a lot cheaper. Regardless, it's much brighter than my front lit GBC and the contrast and color depth are very good.

The screen is unfortunately not integer scaled so you will see some artifacts, and it's a 4:3 screen instead of 1:1, but if that is not a deal breaker for you then I can definitely say it's worth buying. That's something I got used to on my modded Game Gear so I adjusted very quickly to it.

There are a few other quirks that are worth mentioning. First of all, the built-in games are a bit dopey. The way the GBBC detects a cartridge is through a levered micro switch in the cartridge port, and I find this method to be somewhat flakey. Sometimes it gets confused about whether or not a cartridge is inserted and I have to remove it and power cycle. I will probably end up removing the switch and disabling the games permanently. They're all original Gameboy games anyway and some of them have weird bugs, like Donkey Kong.

Beyond that, the D-pad is a bit different. It's possible to press the center which in some games can cause glitches, but it's not nearly as bad as some aftermarket GBC d-pads I've tried. Corners register well, which is a must for Metal Gear Solid. Also, the "IR port" is just decoration.

Overall, for $30 I give it a major thumbs up for now.

>>3524449
Something else that I was a bit surprised by is that there appears to be an optional "outdoor mode" on the screen. This makes the screen appear a lot brighter when playing outdoors, but it also makes the colors appear lighter and more washed out compared to the standard more. I haven't figured out how to control it though because I've only booted the system in this mode by accident so far.

>>3524449
I got one earlier this year and the power switch broke off after about 2-3 weeks of use. I recommend you replace it as soon as possible with a better one if you can. At the moment it will turn on if it has batteries inside it but there's no way to switch it off now and it doesn't even boot up properly. I still own the fucking thing but I have zero electrician skills so I can't repair it myself. Kinda wanna throw it away but kinda not in the slim hope that I might meet someone who can repair it. It's a really nice piece of hardware for sure.

With the possible exception of plasma, any SD flat panel is going to come from a time when all LCDs looked like pure ass.

>>3524268
Fuck. So basically, even though they exist, they won't look as good as my Trinitron?

>>3524273
LCDs of the era had terrible blacks and slow response times. I would rather use the shittiest CRT imaginable than suffer the indignity of an LCD from circa 2005.

>>3529201

I'll sum it up:

1. John Romero was only one part of the reason for ID's success. Alone he lacked the artists, programmers, etc of ID.

2. Peter Principle. Romero was a level designer and designer. He was promoted to project manager. A position he never had before. He proceeded to completely mismanage the project at every level. Blowing money on a fancy suite. Giant office with everything imaginable. And then changing engines several times forcing them to remake the entire game each time.

>>3529201
Romero hired a bunch of modders who had never made a commercial game before. That's fine if you're an experienced project manager (Gabe Newell had experience in Microsoft doing exactly that), but Romero was a Tim Schafer-tier project manager.

Doing the business or managerial side of things just wasn't part of his talents.

>>3529201
He made himself his bitch
