Was was this dichotomy so common?
https://youtu.be/FuWVbDMYFDo
for me itd be Donkey Kong Country 2, the fun i had with it as a kid is so memorable, back then i didnt have internet, so i had to discover everything on my own, and i played it daily nonstop till i discovered everything.
https://youtu.be/FumsqKxkp5Q
the game would have been even better if played this song instead of the ridley fight music on the escape sequence
what's your best clear time? mine was 0:53, but i was cheating by the rules of super metroid speedrunning. i was playing on an emulator with a ps3 controller with L2 bound to run and R2 bound to weapon swap so i could hold down run while 30hz shoulder pumping easier and swap weapons really fast
i didn't use savestates or save at all though, and the main blunders i made were that i just can't do the crazy wallhop out of the bomb area consistently, took 3 cracks to mockball for the super missiles, and actually almost died to ridley
i had a mental block on how to fight ridley without screw attack for years until i read his ASM code block and then i was like oh, he acts like a fighting game character where he reads your inputs and coordinates and tries to figure out what to do, and then i never died to him again

are there any CD games which use most or all of a disc just for game code and graphics, not music or FMV? it seems like you could have a fuckhuge 16/32 bit game with nice graphics
>As of 2024, Harada revealed that Tekken 4 has fully grown in stature and has already sold over 4,350,000 copies, the same amount as its predecessorTekken Tag Tournament, despite when the games were only sold in PS2 copies and were not available in other platforms.
>Harada has gone on to call Tekken 4 the best game in the series weeks after the2024 Evolution Championship Series, in an interview with commentator and former championJustin Wong.
Apologize.
Why? Its just proto Tekken/DoA, they have VF charavters in DoA

How did this get four games?
I would argue pinball machines aged much better than most early video games did, and I think they're much more fun.
What's your favorite table? What are you playing on and what tables are you trying?
My favorite table by far is cyclone. I love the amusement park theme and sound effects/music. Reminds me off going to theme parks with my parents when I was young. Mainly playing that and some other "simple" tables like pinbot on vpx.

I can see why this level is infamous, the first section is fine but the 2nd act is really tough with the tricky jumps through purple lums, the 3rd act has a lot of annoying spikes and backtracking in order to get the last cages.
And then you have to fight a boss with an inflated HP, a super long "avoid shit" part where you can't hurt the boss and then her laser projectiles seem to follow a pattern then it quickly changes.
I still can't beat the boss because I lose all my lives during the lase part (or even as early as the start of the 2nd act) and I still don't want to use continues.
FF III on DS
FF IV on SNES, GBA, DS (also a translated jp ver fsr)
FF V on GBA
FF VI on SNES, GBA
FF Tactics Advance
FF Tactics A2
Which of these should I start with? The only Final Fantasy experience I have is playing the first one on the phone years ago, but I'm fine with playing a hard one. Also how much of a difference is there between versions?

The SRB2 community is full of shit anyways (imagine treating mods as "intellectual property" at the same time as "art" where you MUST have a "license" to even use it on an open-source game), so there's no issue to "steal" them from the "artists.".
If you have an idea of what I should add, then don't hesitate to ask.
> i dunno if Donkey Kong 64 was that great, feels empty.
> some decent fighters on the Nintendo 64, even though they look blocky
> some decent wrestling games
a pretty solid library, it's hard to boo. i also really like the variations, your Jungle Green, Atomic Purple smoke... yeah, the controller wasn't the most comfortable, but i love the colors.
I mean, by this era, Nintendo was really (with their N64 commercials) embracing their more edgy Attitude Era. like, Nintendo weren't really having that Sega Attitude, but they kinda had to match that because that's just how society had kinda changed at that time.
we were in that Nickelodeon/MTV kinda gross-out humor era, and Nintendo had to match that attitude with these commercials, which to be fair I think they did a great job with such games like:
> Mario Party 2
> GoldenEye 007 - game changer (Perfect Dark i like a lot as well)
> Banjo-Kazooie
> Conker's Bad Fur Day
> Super Smash Bros.
> Mario Kart 64 - i like that way better than the Super Nintendo one.
> WCW vs nWo World Tour
> Battletanx (3DO)
> Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
> Mickey's Speedway USA - solid cart racer, i don't think people give enough love to Mickey Speedway USA
> Duke Nukem: Zero Hour
> Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - graphics are pretty legit
> F-Zero X
> Star Wars Episode I: Racer
> San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing
> Paper Mario
> Yoshi's Story
> Castlevania 64
> SF Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA
> Pokemon Snap
> Rayman 2

Why.
I like RetroArch in theory, but it is badly in need of a better user interface.
There I said it.

I rarely see discussions about their design philosophy compared to other genres like platformes, but I bet most people have at least one they are very fond of.
Next time, you will show respect for what former industry members do, and not threaten them to get data because "I'm the owner of the IP!!"

I don't mean games that include a running minigame, I mean games that are all about racing on foot.
In my years of gaming, these are the only three I ever came across not counting track and field games.
This needs to be talked about.
Mad Dash Racing also has my vote as best on-foot racing game ever made.

I mean think about it, at its core those games aren't that dissimilar, even if OOT has much more puzzles.
>collecting jewels
>helping NPCs
>collecting mcguffins
>killing all kinds of enemies
>each boss requires a different strategy
But they're all good. 1 is just the best. 2 and 3 fucked up the level design and added too many dumb minigames / forced backtracking. 2's homeworlds are kino though.
This cart sounds way better than ED64 which is what the sperg boomers recommend around here

The retro PC everywhere are beautiful especially nowadays. Most locations will have a PC in them.
However I have to ask is there any in universe logic for the resistance to use PCs on most locations?
Like why would they have a PC?
HL1 is all in a government facility so the computers make sense since they are used to send messages or run simulations or write reports.
However why would there by PCs in other resistance locations? What are they using for a PC? Especially a PC that ma can be from the year 2004 (or 1998? When did the invasion start?).
>They use them to record data from measurements.
In science places yes however WTF are they measuring in normal rebel outposts?
Radios make sense for communication however why PCs?
>Security cameras.
Yes however seeing as the monitors are CRTs and these are obviously 2004 PCs the HDDs do not have the capacity to record all video feeds and will fill up short.
In 2004 there where VHS and other analog forms of recording video that did the same purpose, possibly more quiet. Why would the resistance have a gigantic PC brick who needs uninterrupted power, consumes lots of energy and makes lots of noises, Hard drives and fans are noisy especially in computers from this era and the CD or DVD drive will also be loud.
So why would they have them?
You know a PC for recording or video footage from all cameras and registering equipment would be a great idea... Only not possible for a PC made in 2004. More like PCs from 2024!
So why do they have them? Laptops are a far smarter option for transportation laptop_VS_PC meme. And you need them on the go so they are a better option.
Other equipment like radios makes more sense. Despite being gigantic
-No need to restart
-can run 24/7
-no noise output
1/2
Also, PS2 won that era primarily because of its backward compatibility adding way more good games then it had alone, or that X Box or GC had at all.

Unofficial Open PlayStation Loader (uOPL)
Extreme Elite Boot+
English Translated PlayStation 2 Broadband Navigator.
If you're curious what has changed about these I recommend looking into it here:
https://www.psx-place.com/resources/unofficial-open-ps2-loader-uopl.1523/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooH0FjltsyE
The physics feel too weighty, the controls are bad (how am I supposed to do a running jump punch when running is Y, B is jump and A is punch? There was NOTHING wrong with having punch and run on the same button like on NES, you don't need to get cute just because the controller has more buttons).
The camera is so bad that you constantly have to re-adjust it with the L-R button, in some cases I even keep the button held just to see what's coming ahead
The musics and SFX are super bland, getting hit has no sound, the invicibililty power up has no music
Enemies are also super bland, at least in the NES version it felt like half of the enemies were romans or at least humans, here it's like "hedgehog, bats and birds galore", and of course the oh so classic euro platformer "drops of water hurt you" (to be fair the NES had a couple of those but here they're everywhere in the caves) and other shit you can't see coming like spikes appearing randomly from the floor
The level progression makes the game feel drawn out as well, it's usually something like "level theme (forest, ice, etc)-> cave -> level theme again -> cave again". Having the thematic levels grouped together would have made it feel better
I wouldn't be so disappointed if I didn't like the NES game so much, despite being a super short game with basically only 2 (lame) bosses it's such a fun game
Mario is boring
Why does no one have any actual criticisms of this game?
Please share whichever ones you like the most

I even have pixel remaster and gba version all on my phone right now
Might just play android port can't beat touchscreen controls and smooth textured
Fuck me man, I thought I was going to be playing a whole new game. Can't even tell ya how disappointed I am right now.
