I've tried to get into it many times ever since buying it back in 2001, but I simply cannot force myself to enjoy this game. ALttP and OoT were Zelda bliss for me, but there are so many things I dislike about this game.
>feels like a cheap fan game with reused assets and models abound
>most of the tool items are recycled from OoT and the new ones aren't very interesting
>most of the masks do very little, and the transformations just aren't fun
>I get that Link returned to childhood at the end of OoT, but playing as young link again feels lame.
>the time system is unique but extremely restrictive and forces you to repeat the same tasks over and over
>gone are all of the tunics and boots
>the world is much smaller as a whole, and doesn't feel nearly as inviting, particularly Termina field
>dungeons aren't very good and too few in number
It did have some things going for it. I like the story, the world feels very alive, I love that different things happen at different times of day, and I'm glad they had some monsters to kill in Termina field, but outside of that, the game feels like a fucking mess. You get less of just about everything compared to OoT, and there isn't enough new content to justiy what you lose, and you constantly feel rushed to complete objectives instead of being able to soak in the world and explore. In many ways, MM is simply the opposite of what makes most Zelda games so fun.

I've never understood this one. Tomb Raider, Spyro, Crash, etc all did this for their sequels but when Nintendo does it in MM people call it nothing more than a ROM-hack of OoT.

First off, I'm not talking about any of those games, I'm talking about this game. I'm not a particularly big fan of Spyro or Crash either. But the biggest issue isn't just the fact they reused assets, but rather that they literally put the same characters into the game, with the same names, but gave them entirely different personalities. The game is supposed to take place after OoT and yet Link ends up encountering all of these identical people in a totally different part of the world? The fuck? It was a lazy design choice in every way.

But is it really more lazy than meeting the same characters with the exact same personalities like a traditional sequel?

Title says it all
Also do you prefer the n64 game library or the ps1 game library?

So, is it about graphics or game library?
Graphics is N64, although it depends on the game, sometimes PS1 can look really good, and N64 can look really bad, but N64's highs are much better than PS1's highs.
Game library would be PS1 by default simply because of more quantity and variety, however, if I rule out multiplats, ports of arcades and only focus on exclusives, I might prefer N64 actually.
>>
Graphics: N64
Games: Ps1
>>
Games: PC
Graphics: PC
Also, not this shit again, this isn't gonna stay objective for long. The only game I really like playing on the PS is Harvest Moon: Back To Nature, I prefer it to N64's Moon. That's about it. I really like N64's Goemon and Bomberman games though so I would say that it has better exclusives?
As >>4160852 said, the PS has better games counting ports and multiplats but the N64 might have better exclusives depending on your preferences.

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+ Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

Which is better Csync or Lumasync?
>>
>>4153479
They're most likely just SCART cables with built-in sync strippers for displays which only support CSYNC.
Get them if your display supports CSYNC.
>>
>>4154117
If it's playstation, go with sync-on-luma. If it's anything else, go with composite sync

Really, WHY!? Once people figured out how to use certain sectors of the Dreamcast's Copy Protection System as a vulnerability to seamlessly burn copies of games, piracy became rampant rather quickly. Why didn't Sega take time to patch it up with a more complex Copy Protection mechanism in later models, anyway. They didn't have to make it similar to the Saturn's, just have, say Dreamcasts shipped after mid-2000 have a more robust checksum and/or digital signing system. That, and maybe also do something to better promote the NGPC link cable device.

Because then the original Dreamcasts, aka 85% of the installed base, couldn't play the new games

It wasn't as rampant as you'd think. CD burners weren't particularly common at this point.

EDN8 doesn't passthrough expansion sound unless you've modded your NES to support it, or use a correctly wired adapter on a Famicom, for the record. That said, the hardware in both is exactly the same, so no it doesn't matter.
>>
>>4178718
>or use a correctly wired adapter on a Famicom
It doesn't work out of the box on the Famicom? Also does this only count for FDS audio or Famicom expansion audio?
>>
>>4178723
Sorry, I should have been more clear. The Famicom version works out of the box on a Famicom for expansion audio (FDS and other supported expansion sound chips). If you use the NES version on a Famicom, the converter you use needs to be wired to pass expansion audio. Most cheap chinese adapters won't, but the adapter Krikzz sells does, it's like a resistor and an extra pin that needs to be wired correctly.

okay /vr/ lets talk Harvest Moon. I have only played 64 and i liked it alot and am looking at one of the gameboy entries for my work commute. Which one is the best?

Harvest Moon GBC3 is the best.
You can play it twice even, as the boy cares for the farm and the girl cares for the animals. You can't choose your wife/husband but it's not a problem, the protagonists are pretty alright.
If you plan on playing them all, play in order as each entry improves on things.

What do you think about Killer Instinct Gold? Call me crazy, but this is one of the best console fighters I've ever played. The graphics are pretty unique, the controls are solid and each character is different yet well balanced.

Loved it as a kid. Haven't played it in over a decade, though, so I can't really speak for it anymore.
I know I've always mained Glacius, but I think I played Tusk, Spinal, and Jago a lot. I liked Fulgore but I sucked as him.
>>
>>4174415
Yeah Glacius is pretty badass. I love Spinal, even though I initially hated him. I like pretty much all of the characters honestly. Jago is a fucking beast, his AI rapes me all the time on the higher difficulties.
>>
It looks like shit, they replaced the beautiful fmv backgrounds with memepolygons.
Versions aside though the game is pretty good, I like it better than the first because the combo system is simpler and more consistent. The new characters are lame though, I liked how the cast of KI1 was mostly monsters.
I've only played Galaxian (I think it counts), Galaga and Galaga 88. What is your favorite in the series?

Seeing as it's 99.9% the same exact game, yes.

DX isn't bad. I'll list the differences for you, and let you decide.
