/vr/ - Retro Games

>>10305650
I haven't played it yet.

>>10305650
vr is a tendie site, people should play the saturn more because it has good games
but since most of the faggots here are mutts nostalgiafag boomers who only know one console (that shall not be named) then most of the good stuff on saturn gets overlooked

>>10305650
>all combat is shitty 1 on 1 encounters that play like a bad fighting game
>puzzles are all box pushing
That's why.

Ya see op. This >>10305665 is why you just start talking about the game instead of asking why people don't talk about it enough. Although to answer your question when I tried to talk about this game before retards who refused to play with a controller derailed the thread by asking why it controls so badly with a keyboard and mouse

>>10305650
literally never heard of it and yes i owned a dreamcast

>>10305650
It's an interesting game, I need to go back and replay it again. I can't remember if I ever finished the 4th parallel. It's not nearly as fun as its spiritual predecessor (Landstalker). It stands out in that the Saturn is short on 3D platformer-type games and so that makes it appealing. Overall it has a weird, oneiric quality to the story and setting.
>>10305687
This, it's not particularly deep and never fully excels in the gameplay department. It's got something to it though; it's somewhat unique.

>>10305665
>Saturn has good games
Lmao no it doesn't. Neither did SMS, PCE, or Xbox. Snoytendies have always had the best games with other consoles having maybe 2-3 games worth playing that still pale in comparison to mid level snoytendo games. The only halfway decent console Sega made was the Genesis and it's still utterly mogged by SNES in every way except for multiplats, sports and fighting games

>look at me I’m so edgy I call myself a snoytendy
Excuse me what?? No, no not buying it

>>10305650
It is pretty cool, although games with the isometric angle make me feel motion sickness. I'd suggest playing with the 3D pad so you can move the camera with the stick.
>>10306731
You need to play more video games if you think the Saturn has no good games. Either stop console war faggotry or go back to /v/ please. Has this board always been like this?

>>10305650
fun fact that this game is a post modern masterpiece in 1996. multiple parallel scenarios and unusual setting on prison island. criminally ignored. but you shouldnt be surprised, average gamer mutts dont care about sega. history only concerns the shallow perspective.

>>10306742
its gotten a lot worse since it was opened up to gcn/ps2/xbox shit. this generation doesnt really care about anything sega/dos/nec/arcade and needs to be spoonfed constantly about very well spoken for games that are discussed to death.

>>10305650
There was a conversation about it a year or so ago.

>>10305665
>but since most of the faggots here are mutts nostalgiafag boomers who only know one console (that shall not be named
People talk about the Spectrum all the time, mate.

Somebody please tell me in 3d rpg scotformer games like this, when you turn around, why the fuk does your right arm become your left arm? It's some weird mirroring thing, but WHY?
Also, cool game but it seems like people get filtered hard by the puzzle platform areas, similar to Xenogears but without the random battles midjump kino. Just checked out a vid to look at the game again.

Skip to 6 mins, dude edited it but seemed to have been stuck in one area for over 30 mins

>>10305665
/vr/ has always been a Sega board what the fuck are you talking about

>>10306795
I thought of the Speccy as well when reading that post, lmao.

I had only Sega consoles as a kid. You can cope all you want but you know I speak the truth

>>10306972
So, you’re the self proclaimed snoytendolt, fascinating really. You’re a one of a kind breed. To weird to live, to rare to die. I think the kids are calling it “autistic senior syndrome”.

>>10305650
i have a japan copy i got for free
i dont know if its still playable or not
i have been using my fenrir setup instead
and havent downloaded it yet anon sorry

>>10306997
Why wouldn't it be? Also it's one of those Saturn games where the Japanese copies are still dirt cheap.

>>10306972
You wouldn't know a good game if it raped you in the asshole.

>>10306731
Saturn has some of the coolest gems ever. fuckin Dragon Force, Virtual On, Bulk Slash. and it looks so crispy.

Never played this, but it looks cool. It's a followup to Landstalker, right? I feel like I should check that one out first.

>>10307004
i cant read moonrunes
and its a deep cut
havent heard much talk of it online
monitoring this thread

>>10305650
>>10305665
Is saturn emulation finally good? Like the only thing worse then Saturn is barely good enough N64 and Xbox.

>>10307275
Gotcha. There have been quite a few threads about the game on this board, including some started by people who really love it since it has some atypical elements and is made by Climax, who made Landstalker and the early Shining games.

>>10307361
Looks like one of those Godtier rental games you enjoy the shit out of as a kid but it's better off you didn't get it for full price.

>>10305650
I haven't played it yet but someone did mention in another thread that it is LandStalker's sequel which I didn't know before then

>>10306731
It never fails to surprise me how tendies take pride in their ignorance and proclaim it loudly on the internets. Their posts are always translated to "yes, I only like the absolute most popular games and dislike what's unknown, but in my weird logic this makes me refined and educated".

>>10305650
Played through it in January of this year and had real good fun with it. even made me want to 100% it to see all the endings.
Only problem I had with it was the bullshit platforming sections near the end.
I still think landstalker is the better game.

>>10305665
Retard take, start more threads not covering Nintendo instead of crying about it online.

>>10307567
gaming identity is very tied to marketing. every edge top 100 games from true experts is just whichever ones were promoted very heavily (and to gamers, that makes it of the utmost importance). the other games, despite apparent quality, are not actually worthy of existing. see series like ultima or the arcade games that were buried despite 1000x more tangible influence than anything on home consoles. gaming historical discussion in the west is a distillation of crony marketing and not reality.

>>10307628
no one remembers ultima because they put themselves in the gog ghetto. if they were on steam way more people would learn about and play them.

>>10305650
because silver castle ptsd

>>10307654
>if they let Gaben put his golden dick stamp on their games forehead, more people would download it and never play it
Great logic

>>10305650
I haven't played deep into the game of it to give it a fair assessment. It was a clearance bin find and it plays alright. The perspective is weird, but pretty interesting for its oddity. My cousins and I thought it was hilarious with the "drunken" effect and the mine cart segment looking silly with a box-on-top-of-a-box one for the head and the hands/feet a texture on top of the lower+larger box; the jumping mine cart didn't help either for stopping the laughs. It is a Sega Saturn game plus bargain bin title in a sea of higher profile games which reduces its visibility significantly, so I don't expect many to have interest in the game.

>>10305650
Great Stalker sequel. I think it's on par with Alundra in presentation, but in execution beats the shit out of Alundra. I'll always play Climax games when I come across one, they have a unique feel like St!ng games.
>>10306731
I wish we could just not talk about Nintendo ever on this board. It's like if /co/ would be 80% Disney.

>>10305650
more than likely because nobody owned it and for those that did >>10307706

>>10307361
The best thread was the one where some dude posted translations of the Dark Saviour radio play. Yes. There was a Dark Saviour radio play in Japan, some really fascinating deep lore. Was the entire game just Garian's recurring nightmare while he was frozen in Carbonite? Was Jack, the bird, the bad guy all along? Is the game like Inception, with Garian's needing to forgive himself to escape? Is there a hidden 5th parallel? This is one of those games that make me wish I was fluent in bladerunner speak and could datamine the game for it's secrets, because there is something deeply mysterious about it.

>>10308649
there are many radio dramas in japan. doesn't bother me that much.

>>10308630
>Rent free

>>10305650
I love Dark Savior, very unique game. It's far from perfect, but there's a lot that's interesting about it.
>parallel system
>fighting game style battles
>capturing and controlling enemies
>isometric platforming and puzzle solving
>cool prison island setting
>mysterious story and atmosphere
Stuff like fighting game battles could've been fleshed out more.

>>10308630
Aw be nice to him he's so poor even though he owns English and Japanese copies of every game in existence all of which he found exclusively in bargain bins

>>10308649
>This is one of those games that make me wish I was fluent in bladerunner speak and could datamine the game for it's secrets, because there is something deeply mysterious about it.
Same, I feel like there's still something buried in it. Like until recently I had no idea you could capture a couple enemies early in fights using certain characters (BIOS against Doc is one example). Some stuff about capture mechanics was only posted about online recently as far as I know.

>is there a hidden 5th parallel?
6th you mean (5th can be found by dying to Bilan in the intro), but I was always fascinated by the possibility. You can mess up in Parallel 2 by letting Kay die, which causes some weird things to happen until the game resets your progress. That's kinda like a secret Parallel.
