>mfw I've played all of those.

BOF3 is the closest one to a "pure adventure." The other ones either have more emphasis on creating a home base that you constantly return to. There's hardly any backtracking in BOF3 so it feels more like a legit adventure than those other three.

I agree, based on what you posted (games I also loved) I think you'll like BOF3 the best.

Is the PSP version any better than the PSX version?

Zelda II

>>3497916
every year that goes by we have more and more. the majority of post 2008 sequels are probably worse than the transition from trigger to cross

since this is vr I'd say zelda ii or castlevania ii are pretty quintessential.

the entire wii catalogue, including smash brawl displays the same pattern

Do I fixth her nameth?

>not playing in Japanese

>>3520578
I used to give a shit about stuff like that, but these days it's more fun to do shit like name cloud "BigMcHuge" and Barret "BigNig"

Second for /tg/

It's funny how browsing the library of the Saturn and seeing how it's not even close to all fighting games and shmups is for some reason impossible for people in 2016.

>>3518432
I'm not asking whether non-fighters and non-shmups exist, but whether it's worth owning the console for any of them. Most of the ones that stood out to me when I looked through them seem to have gotten ports to other consoles.

SRPGs
Enhanced eroge ports without ero

Reminder that you can agree with the idea of "creative" localizations without praising Woolsey's shit..

>>3518020
Why do you consider his work "shit"? My experience from having played several of the games he translated in both languages is that he did a fucking superb job as far as his skills as a translator go, and that any notable shit (like SoM) were the fault of other circumstantial issues beyond the scope of his abilities as a translator.

>>3518020

What, like Working Designs' literal meme translations? Woolsey struck the best balance between creativity and accuracy of the era. The 'retranslations' of his work out there are ridiculous exercises in autism completely stripped of any charm or soul. Some people just don't get it.

why do you need to stir shit op

DOS and other early PC games are more fun than NES and SNES games

>redundant opinions

Why make an entire thread to state truisms?

not worry at all because donkey kong skills dont translate to pac man

Slap his wife's ass and walk off with her to a real man's cabinet like Gradius to show her how a high score is really logged. Fuck that Kenny Loggins looking motherfucker.

The Neo Geo pocket as the WonderSwan (and variants of both) are retro by board rules as logical ones.

>Generation Sixth generation era

>>3516115
Agreed, it's also listed as sixth on gamefaqs http://www.gamefaqs.com/games/systems Not surprising given its Dreamcast connectivity.

Set in Amsterdam

I think it looks pretty nice apart from the fucked up lighting

>Golden Carnage level

Set on and around the Golden Gate Bridge.

Here you can find the "new" Firefly enemy which is just a shitty version of the Liztroop taken off the beta material of the game.

>worst Enemy
Octobrain. Pain in the ass to deal with.

>Worst Episode
They're all good but L.A. Meltdown is the weakest imo. The latter ones are where it starts to get good.

Fug, gonna go play this now.

The floating enemy with the missile or the pig tanks just for being damage sponges.

Worst episode is 2 or 4.

Also how the fuck did people play this without save States? In playing megaton edition and it has a neat little time slider if you die you can go back. I cant imagine having to restart the entire level from scratch on death

>What's the worst Enemy?
Inflatable Sea Monster from Caribbean expansion pack, fuck that guy
>Octobrain. Pain in the ass to deal with
Wut? thats one of the easiest one do deal with, hide behind wall shoot, repeat.

And just by using keyboard, back then at beginning nobody played FPS games with mouse + keyboard.

Nobody considers that. It just had good voice acting.

You're absolutely right, it's combat gets stale fast (though the initial novelty of "hey these are vampires, you have to impale, burn, or drown them" was pretty cool at first). It's more about the story, the dialogue, the voice acting, and feeling of exploration throughout. The world and it's denizens are interesting, and backed by amazing voice talent and writing. If you want gameplay, Soul Reaver is probably the worst game out of the entire Legacy of Kain series, but it's a great entry point story wise.

I have it on Dreamcast. Dropped it after an hour, but I'm going to give it another chance one day.

If you're good at the game, not terribly. Most of the difficulty differences stem from the Japanese release's more varied damage outputs from enemies. In the Western release everything hits with equal brutality.

There are some other differences, though. Dracula's last form in the Western release is notably better since his lasers are a bit more dangerous. There may be some other big things I'm not remembering, but I think that's the gist. Either version is great.

International version has quite a few reworked sprites most of which look better and it has a "second quest" but no titties.

>>3510265
One of the best arcade games ever, and I only figured that out like 3 years ago.

>>3510265
What makes it one of the greatest driving games of all time?

My only gaming regret is that I wasn't around to experience Outrun in the arcades (I was like 2 years old in 86 and my parents hated video games)

But the Genesis port is great all the same
