Only played like 5 seconds of this game, so this should be interesting.

First boss wasn't hard, those flying witches though. fun game so far

I miss these threads.

I considered doing this but since it's not too clear on how frequent should progress be shown and such I gave up on it.

In any case that is a hell of a good tool for choosing a game when not knowing what to play.

How active is the IRC-channel?

My biggest issue with this challenge is the randomizer. There are so many games on there that are not even fun in the sense of it being in a challenge like this. Even if I could just reroll it defeats the purpose of the challenge and just kills the mood (for me personally at least).

I wish there could be some kind of community effort to put together a list of games of games included rather than everything that exists.

>We haven't had one of these threads in a while

Take a hint.

The guy in charge of the site said he was going to make a tick where you can choose the game to be chosen only from /v/'s recommended games list. He never went through with it.

Everyone knows at least half of games suck. Especially with so many shitty licensed and sports games.

I suggested doing exactly that back when the threads were moderately popular. A few people were for it, but 80% of the posters were either "HUR, THAT'S PART OF THE RANDOM FUN, QUIT WHINING" or "YOU JUST WANT TO REMOVE THE GAMES YOU DON'T LIKE, FUCK OFF". I never mentioned which games would be removed, or who would decide which games get removed, I merely suggested the idea. I even warned them that these threads would eventually die since not everyone enjoys trying to force themselves through a Barbie title. No one listened. Now here we are. That was around the time I realized about 80% of the posters here are full retard and not worth listening to.

>>4211998
General guideline is a pic after every level with a brief update of whats happened, or a pic of where you are currently stuck. People used to be forbidden from making multiple updates without anyone else posting, but that rule got dropped fast once the threads started dying off.

>>4212721
>>4213229
Why do you need a randomizer? Even being able to select the games yourself is still challenging because you have a time limit and have to do all those games

>>4213229
>everybody else is the problem

Whoever was creating these threads ignored consensus from anybody else participating - i.e. OP would disregard suggestions to play any popular games and would force everybody to play some awkward niche title that was only recently brought to anyone's attention due to a fan translation or ROM hack.

I have no idea when this randomizer business started, but that doesn't sound like much fun either.

tl;dr - Let /vr/ actually pick what it wants to play. Stop trying to dictate the entire show when people clearly do not like your picks.

>>4213229
Yes but HOW would one curate the list? You are in no way the only person to have that idea but I never see you guys post any feasible solutions.

Just whining at a problem won't solve it, especially when a great deal of people don't even perceive it as a problem.

I'm actually working on something similar unrelated to this

How does this list look? I'm not trying to complete every game but I am trying to complete a good number of the 'significant' games from each console/generation

>>4213445
"Just reroll if you get something you seriously don't want to play" is the only rule that's really needed. Curating the list doesn't work since people are different. Some want to play the classics only, some are willing to try out new and obscure shit, some just don't feel like playing an 80 hour RPG right now, some are willing to play sports games but don't know the rules to football... Just keep it all in and let people reroll if they don't like what they got.

>>4213453
There already is a list. Just use /v/'s recommended lists.

>>4213540
>/v/'s recommended lists

>>4213542
They're pretty good, desu. We thought about updating them on /vr/ years ago... but it's completely pointless.

>>4210636
>thread has nothing to actually do with Gauntlet

Well, fuck you too, then.

>>4213628
you must be new here

>>4210636
whoa nice timing,I'm playing through dark legacy right now emulated on PCSX2 but it sometimes drop's to 30 FPS?

Otherwise it runs at a solid 50 what could be causing it to break like that at random intervals?

What the fuck am I getting myself into?

>>4213768
Breakout made into a puzzle where you have match colours.

It's actually pretty fun, just a bit simple for an NES game, especially at the time.

>>4213768
Not a good title screen.

>>4212129
Ultimately it's just about playing some new games and sharing it with your favorite anons. And maybe beating the time limit.

I think people would be participating more if it was more organized. Definitely if there was some sort of software that helped with this particular challenge. Heck I'm going to put this out there as something that I think would be decent but definitely not exist in a long time:

-A multiplatform emulator that has a system that's integrated with an online database of sorts
-It includes the randomizer and scans that database to get games that weren't finished to make sure it doesn't give you one of those
-It includes the 3 day/7 day timer in game
-It includes a nice tool to be able to upload both screenshots and commentary

Suddenly you would have people trying this shit left and right.

>>4216317
This.

>>4216328
This would be neat but I doubt anyone would put their time into making it.

yea I think a curated list would be good. I think it should still be very long but we can remove shit like mahjong and multiple iterations of sports titles (Madden 93, 94, etc.)

I think I'm going to stop here. I barely got through the first mission even while following a longplay.

Why does a series defined entirely by sex, violence and drinking have a kids adaptation, anyways?

>>4219705
Kids like the concept, so a kid-friendly variant is a nice way to push it at them in a format parents will be willing to buy for them.
