Because Metal Gear Solid is an overrated steaming pile of shit that only faggots play.

>>3499101
Oh look an idiot

>>3499097
Wasn't it explained later?
Because he's a Patriot right? And was secretly working against Liquid AND Solid?

I mean hell they even went out of the way to explain how Big Boss survives Metal Gear 1's killing of him by saying it was Venom Snake it killed.

>>3498995
No

It, along with many games released at the time, was a poor re-creation of actual GOOD games in a 3D setting. It's supposed to be Final Fantasy 3 in 3D but not the exact same game.

>>3498995
Yes

So did the planet eliminate humans or not? (Advent Children is fan fiction)

>>3498956
Having 3 different copies all screw up at different places.

The lack of clear direction.


My FAVORITE part was the stupid leaky battery

I haven't felt that immersed in a game in so long. Maybe System Shock 2?

>>3499385
I never played the game, but I remember my sister playing it when I was 8.

For some reason the game scared me.

It was slated for a 1999 release but was pushed back to 2000. Should definitely be allowed on /vr/.

even to this day, this game still amazes me graphically. i like the combat, but it's not THAT great.

imo, beyond oasis has the best combat of any 2d action-rpg/action-adventure game to date

it had a plot? I thought you just explore and kill stuff.

>>3499000
beyond oasis is just a top-down beat-em-up

The game is 100% reflex. If you suck at it, you just need to train your eyesight.

>>3499284
>The game is 100% reflex
Completely false.
It's about:
>memorizing the patterns to get the biggest and fastest chains
>watching your opponent's screen to time attacks correctly
>managing your charge bar, using extra and boss attacks correctly
>and of course basic STG skills

Even though it look cute it's a serious competitive game.

>>3499302
I do none of those things, save for the last one, and I'm a pretty good player.

Illusion of Gaia?

Not really, but this nig did.

I never fought this boss. Did I miss a secret area?

>>3498531
I never recalled playing it as a kid either -- I definitely remember going down into the well but never beating this boss. Is it required? Maybe we just blocked out the terror.

I do remember as an adult playing through this game and beating him however.

Atari 800.

A lot of it depends on personal preference and what you grew up with.
That being said, the C64 shits all over the Spectrum.

>>3498283
Pretty much exactly this.

>>3498271
Have you even looked at the games on the two platforms?

I need this fetish explained to me, and yet, I never want it explained to me.

Pacman.

>stealth
Is your character actually on stealth mode? Press z to toggle stealth mode on and off. Also, did you apply a camo kit? Are you using suppressed weapons? Lastly, stay away from light sources.

>Technical problems involve slowass animations and screen scrolling
download and install 1.13 but switch to the vanilla config. it should contain technical fixes while retaining original gameplay, i think

>Like my expert stealth merc can't sneak up on a hostile within shooting range even when it's pitch black, the guy is facing away, my merc has night goggles and is prone the whole time
hold Delete or End to see fields of view
iirc vanilla has 360 visibility while 1.13 adds cone visibility and tunnel vision when using scopes/binoculars

>>3498091
You are doing it wrong OP. The proper way to play Diablo 2 is on hardcore character on players 8. Thats when it gets fun.

>>3498103
Trouble is, my brother is the only other person I know who has ever played Diablo 1 or 2 and I'm not too sure about playing online with random people.

>>3498108
He didn't mean finding 7 random players.

Normally, in a multiplayer game, enemies will increase in power but also have a higher chance of dropping items etc depending on the number of players to compensate for the player advantage

But there's a console command you can type in to simulate that power increase except without needing other people with you

>>3498074
it's a Rare game. they're all terrible.

You guys made it look so bad I lowered my expectations so much I actually had fun with it. The collecting isn't even that annoying.

Get a PSP.

>>3497970
No,I have my normal phone+controller for that.

>>3497956
Of course. Any system is "capable" of emulating something. It's just a question of what, how well, and how fast.
I had several communicator models and they were all shit for emulation although emulators did exist. In the same period I had several Pocket PCs, mostly ipaqs, that emulated quite a bit pretty well.
The keyboard on the communicator would be good for maybe 8 bit computer games that don't use a joystick. Many PocketPCs had a dpad and were great for emulating games everything else.

>>3497924
>where to buy games?
Funcoland 1997

>what are good games for a party, i.e something people can pick up and play when they see the system and are interested

Mario Party 1, 2 and 3, Starfox 64, Super Smash Bros.

ebay, amazon, pricecharting, local stores.

gauntlet, battletoads, bubblebobble, TMNT, any fighting game, contra, bomberman 2.
the cost of all of those = a flash cart.

nes is not the best multiplayer system.

you either have to be a richster or steal the games pretty much, even smb/duck hunt is going for 60 bucks around here, and i live in oogaboogastan.
