It basically looks like a shitty daggerfall lite.

>>10857361
Arena is fun and simple. Just play the game, get to Fang Lair, if you don't like it then move on.

But I think Arena is worth playing because its short and simple but Daggerfall is also pretty much more of the same. If you can't play Arena, you aren't going to have a good time with Daggerfall anyway.

>>10857763
I think the main difference would be that playing Daggerfall in current year is painless because of the Unity port.

oh yeah i beat her no problem its just the fight was tedious as fuck and anti-fun.

He will be the leader of a new religion after the defeat of the Combine. Actually that would be a cool idea, make it so the combine are defeated but Gordon Freeman becomes this theocratic leader who is just and wise at first but then becomes corrupted and establishes a tyrannical theocracy as bad as the Combine just in a different way. The player would play as a different character maybe Alyx who has been trapped in stasis for years while this has all gone on like Gordon was between Hl1 and HL2 and has to overthrow Gordon to save humanity.

Just a random idea, it would be a good satire of all the GORDON FREEMAN IS THE MESSIAH shit in Half-life 2

>>10857350
Pontifex means bridge builder in Latin. There's a broken bridge Freeman has to cross to get to some Resistance members which he accomplishes using a car to jump over it. Ergo, he's a pontifex now.

This thread did not need to exist.

I love Final Fantasy IV, it's my favorite JRPG of all time (though FF1 comes close), it's just charming and authentic, but I have to admit Zemus/Zeromus was the weakest part. I suppose it doesn't really matter, because honestly a good adventure really is about the friends you made along the way, and they just needed to wrap things up, but it really was a bit of a "and here's the big bad behind the curtain, get'im!!". Of course it still felt meaningful taking this fucker down, especially when you get to see Golbez and FuSoYa going to town on him, and then getting "buffed" by a final reunion with your brother. Yeah I self insert come at me

I always through the orb in the middle was supposed to be his eye and the rest of his body was a giant face. Only now I see the tiny face on the front.
Also, here's the version from Easy Type, complete with a random lady sticking out.

>>10858036
>disc capacity was too small.
I second this, as that's why a lot of third-party devs went straight to PS2. Hell, a lot of them didn't even bother porting their shit to XBOX.

>>10858036
>This is retarded because the implied premise is it's impossible to move and only an idiot would make that their argument.
It's corroborating evidence given the account made a post that doesn't describe Richard Parr's industry past and referring to him in third person in another post. Not sure why low IQ retards always hyperfocus on the location being different on top of that.

>>10858051
I'd never post that little detective session you thought you had there, it just embarrasses you. The truth is out now, your gay old forum arguments are irrelevant. Save us all your second hand embarrassment.

>>10858049
It's Criterion themselves saying it's too small. Others have even experimented by ripping all the music files out only to find the game data is still over a gigabyte too big for a GC disc. It wouldn't lend well to being split over two discs.

>>10858058
>It wouldn't lend well to being split over two discs.
I guess racing games WOULD be more challenging to split into two discs than RE4.

>>10858058
>The truth is out now, your gay old forum arguments are irrelevant
I don't use forums. I just looked into who actually said that quote and it was some irrelevant faggot LARPer on some irrelevant forum.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN'

Great game but the problem is the collision. It's so fucked up playing a game like Earthworm jim or The Mask because they're well designed but it's like collision is their last priority.

>>10857395
>it's like collision is their last priority
Common problem in super well animated western platformers. This also includes Genesis Aladdin

>>10857257
I remember last thread

Gearbox (talentless hacks)

>>10857180
The PC port not being janky garbage or poorly optimized is a very recent thing. If you want to see some real kusoge check out the dos ports of Konami NES games.

>>10857180
Because they just copy and paste one of the console versions to pc and call it a day.

>>10857220
To be fair EGA era PCs had problems doing shit that the NES and C64 could breeze thru thanks to built-in hardware, things like scrolling, feels weird seeing Carmack boasting about making Commander Keen work like Super Mario 3 now after years of hearing about PC master race and all that.
After Doom, Quake and Voodoo cards there's no excuse tho, specially seeing how awful this got in 6th-7th gen.

>>10857180
PC and consoles had their exclusives and were happy to get any conversion at all. Megaman X for DOS might seem like a pretty crappy conversion but for a pc gamer they wouldn't normally get these games very often and they usually wouldn't have a console anyway so they would appreciate a new type of game.

>>10857220
Castlevania on dos is pretty good for what it is apart from the controls being weird. If you are good at the nes version you can get far in the pc version.
I think it was stuff like wipeout where they are just missing some transparency effects, this was common and expected at the time.

Dunno about console wars, but Run Saber is great.
Love Strider too. Is Strider 2 good?

>>10856997
>their flagship arcade title
Strider was a Capcom arcade game

>>10857010
Is Run Saber, Striders peer or is she his nemesis? What is happening in the untold story? You have to fight him 4 times and then there he is at the end standing next to you

>>10856997
>>10857010
This game is slow-paced and baggy compared to Strider and pic rel is the only cool thing about it

>>10856997
>we have Strider at home

>>10856887
>Is Fallout 2 like this as well?
It depends on where you go, it's a lot more open and there's no time limit (I mean there is, but it's like 12 years)

>>10856887
Fallout 1 is a lot smaller than Fallout 2. Some of the mechanics aren't as developed and there is a lot of unfinished content. That being said, the smaller nature makes it more cohesive.

Fallout 2 is like Fallout 1 on steroids. They spent all of their time refining the existing mechanics and writing a million quests/locations/characters. The larger scope means it loses some cohesion and the quality can vary a bit. That being said there's probably more good stuff in Fallout 2 than there is stuff in Fallout 1 period.

They're so similar, I don't see how someone could like one of them and not the other.

>>10856902
The Fallout 1 time limit is one of those things that freaks people out even though it's basically irrelevant. You have more than enough time to do whatever you want unless you do aimless cross-California walking trips for zero reason.

>>10856887
Fallout 2 being "bloated" is its best quality. It's three times the game the original was. Everyone who played FO1 on release was craving more, and that's what they got. The devs managed to make a lot more because the groundwork was there. That's the best aspect of retro games we lost.

>>10856927
I like the timelimit of FO1, and I see it being very underrated. It compels the gameplay in a way that only Majora's Mask gets praised nowadays. (despite the cycle in that game ACTUALLY being irrelevant and just in the way)

This is how you make an open world.

>>10857118
I'd rather play with Mai's butt, but sadly she didn't make it into MotW. Imagine the down+D jiggle on a mid-30s Mai.

>>10857964
Aren't throw punishes what Tizoc lacks reliably due to the throw bug? Tics should still work.

I really dislike the character designs in this. Butt is funny karate nig and you have the mexican wrestler. I guess discount Mai mixed with Tron Bonne pirate chick is alright. Everyone else looks so unappealing. You wouldn't even recognize that's Terry from a pic alone. South Town even looks boring as a setting now if that is even what it's supposed to set in.

>>10857098
Just gotta say, that's the faggoest reasoning I've heard in a long time for dismissing a game.

Do you understand this is just Fatal Fury 5

Neat little feature in this game. Very fun swapping out 5+ memory cards to hunt around all your villages for the best prices, if perhaps a little tedious.

>>10858238

So you can buy stock and then sell it? so can you use the stock market like a bank? just buy a lot of stock and then sell when you need the money back?

>>10858651
But the value might go down anon. Then you'll get back less than what you put in, unlike a safe JP Morgan Chase Checking Account.

All I remember from this game is a demo I got in a magazine for DOS

why do people consider the snes version the best when it's horribly bloated? the combat of the game is fine in small doses in the original, but snes drags ooon and ooon. the level with like ten skeletons you need to defeat made me stop playing, jesus how boring. Dos version remains the best

>>10857627
>Is 2 worth playing or not??
Play it for yourself. If you make it to the caves, then you might like it. If you get filtered before that, then you won't like it. The caves are the 2nd level, so you won't have to try it for very long.

>>10856740
It's nice in the beginning and tolerable at best before you get to palace ruins. Wonky platforming and those damn medusa heads practically killed this game for me.

>>10857627
i played it. I enjoyed it, at the moment, and got to finish it.
I tried replaying it a couple of years ago. Didn't get far until the point i decided enough, i don't have the patience to trail and error this now.
Watched a replay on youtube, definitely it's a thing i'm surprised i ever got to the end, no way i'm doing that now.
>>10857041
is right, it's the kind of sequel that is balanced on the supposition that you have mastered PoP and want something even more challenging.

This is the first ps2 game I could think of that Swap Magic 2 wasn't enough to play, you needed to get Swap Magic 3 to do it.
Anyway, elder god-tier music because of Hirasawa

homebrew ripoff called Mr. Deez Nutz when?

>This is Mr. D. Nutz. (deez for friends)
>Mr. D awakens one morning to find out someone grabbed a handful of his nuts without his permission.
>Go find who fondled your nuts Mr. D!
>Game starts with Mr. D emerging from his tree home called the Nut House.
>The nuts have magically come alive and are now your enemies, stomp those nuts Mr. D!

Mr Nutty?

>>10856690
All the best platformer devs were working on console games.

NIGGA THATS NUTS

>>10856646
When I was younger I thought Mr. Nutz was somehow related to Conker (from Bad Fur Day). I don't think I actually played it beyond the first level when I downloaded the ROM in 2002.

>>10858623

Excuse me? That was rude and uncalled for. I consider you uncouth, sir, and I spit at your feet.

You can just collect (download) all the games and put them onto an everdrive

>>10858670
It's nice to have collection if you have people around who might want to pull a game off the shelf and play it.

>>10858602
They weren't really bootlegs, it's not like I used a knock off board or case.

>>10858547
The only things that I think are better in the original is that violin intro and more voice acting scenes for the original characters. There's some slightly different level designs but I see no reason to replay it for that, Legacy is just a better package overall.

Does anyone hate how Carrie emasculates Reinhardt? If it weren't for her humiliating him with how much better she is, Reinhardt would be seen as one of the all-time greatest Belmonts along with Richter and Simon

>>10858609
Maria also mogs Richter in Rondo and makes the game into easy mode.

>>10858620
Can you select Maria from the start? No. She's the joke character. Canonically Maria is a weak feeble child that Richter must rescue

>>10856596
But it makes playing Henry feel even more satisfying.

>>10856508
I got good at typing by playing Neverwinter Nights persistent servers and various free MMOs with RP servers. Forced me to type and read quickly to keep up with other players. Now, I never learned proper touch typing from it so I type with only my index and middle fingers (plus pinkies for modifiers/enter and thumbs for space), but I still don't have to look at the keyboard and type faster than anyone I know.

i dont know, but have you tried the unification mod?

Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough

>>10856523
Extremely cool. Makes me want to do big 4player games but game runs out of memory every time after about 20-30 minutes. Game needs to be reverse-engineered to be saved from its aged engine.

I had more fun with Final Liberation, Relic games never really "clicked" with me, idk the cover system felt barebones and overall the combat looked rather lacking in bloodshed to me, both in numbers(army size and sheer casualties) and in graphical effects, you don't even get a measly severed torso like in CoH, feels wrong for the license.
I don't care about sync kills since i'm a Tau chad and i don't even look at the M**l* toggle button.
