This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".Helpful links:Game Tech WikiEmulation General Wiki
What is the correct course of action when you finish a videogame?
>>10778903Fight the unhappy thoughts with another game
>>10783663Making money off of being a Let's Player is not feasible in 2024. That ship sailed a decade ago and only a few well-connected rich socialites can make it happen now.
>>10778956I hope this is what happens when I die.
>>10778903Watch the credits while smoking a black and mild short wine wood tip with the lights off, as the developers intended.
>>10778903Fuck about with cheat codes and exploits to break the game for shits and giggles.

>>10787127Facts? How about this fact: PS2 has zero games as iconic as Halo or Halo 2. Now cry. Go ahead. Cry.
>>10786240Why was xbox in last place considering they put so much into it and revolutionized gaming. It's like dreamcast 2.0
>>10786240Only Gamecube was good
>>10786240both secondary consoles although i played so much halo 2 online that it was probably my most played next to the ps2
Soul Edge really corrupts you in this one
>>10786617III is where all the art direction was thrown out the window for clown designs and the setting turned from "historical with a fantasy twist" to "full blown shonen anime with a 1600s date slapped on top"An idea that gives control of its outcome to dumb players is a dumb idea by design. Players are not designers for a reason.Guest characters destroy the identity of every game they are featured in and bring in a fanbase who only wants to erode the original game
>>10768693Taiko Drum Master saves never lasted more than a few days for me. What the hell was Namco's problem with PS2 saves?
>>10786634At least tell me which tournaments you participated in if you think that my opinion shouldn't matter because I don't play competitively.>>10786641>III is where all the art direction was thrown out the window for clown designs and the setting turned from "historical with a fantasy twist" to "full blown shonen anime with a 1600s date slapped on top"I disagree, III's designs are overall more similar to the previous entries than they are to SCIV. That's true about every returning character except for Raphael. And this is the last game that used the classic Soul Edge and Soul Calibur designs introduced in SoulCalibur. In fact, I'd say that design between Soul Blade and SoulCalibur is more different than between SCII and SCIII, though some of that undoubtedly has to do with the limitations of Playstation.>An idea that gives control of its outcome to dumb players is a dumb idea by design. Players are not designers for a reason.That's not necessarily true. A lot of western RPGs allowed or even required you to create your own character back in the day. Create a Soul (or rather how people used it starting from SCIV on) was a symptom, not a cause. They used it to make joke designs because the rest of the game was a joke.>Guest characters destroy the identity of every game they are featured in and bring in a fanbase who only wants to erode the original gameAgain, this point I agree with. Good thing that III has no guest characters, unlike II or IV.
bump
>>10786563I think Wii U port of TTT2 didn't sell well. Wii U's sales was most likely the factor. They also reduced or removed some stuff like props and snow from stages because of complaints. People thought it was because of Wii U's lack of power.Another possibility is that PSN and Xbox Live might not have allowed SC2 to be released on their platforms if it didn't have Link. I that was the reason Dynasty Warriors 7 remove Japanese voice acting from PS3 version despite having Blu-ray. After Mortal Kombat 9's Kratos guest character things went for extra featurs the worse because PS3 version sold much more.>>10786574I doubt that. They were most likely trying to maintain good relations.
Which one?
>>107872502 obviously

HOLD. DEVILS. POT OF TEA.
>look up the meaning behind all the singing>all of the lyrics are framing Kratos as the villain and urging every other character to stop him
Finally beat this motherfucker on Titan. Dropped it years ago during the translator part, but I started a new run from the beginning two weeks back and it went way smoother than I remembered despite not having touched any of the games in almost a decade. Feels good to know I've actually become better at games since then.

>>10787236why the fuck do people not just brush the dust off their handhelds before taking pictures
>>10787236I've been playing Pokemon Clover on my RP2S, I just don't feel like posting any pictures fag.
>>10787241>poketard calling anyone else a fag
>>10787239Proving the point of this general by caring more about looks.>>10787241Is it fun? Been playing some Crystal Clear recently and I like the added stuff.
>>10787243It's fun, just a lot tougher than I was expecting. Gym leaders are no joke in Clover. Also lacks a lot of the QoL features I'm used to in other GBA hacks, I wonder if they plan to add them in 2.0 coming eventually. Also if you like Crystal Clear, I would highly recommend Pokemon ROWE which is a very similar concept but for Emerald. Has literally every QoL feature you can think of, I've been playing it on the side too when I need a break from Clover's challenge. It's a nice pick up and play kind of game since it has randomization options built right in.
What is the best fighter game that SNK made
>>10786776>6 has every character.thats the same logic as saying mortal kombat armaggedon is the best mortal kombat, kek
>>10785186This game is actually really good imo. Only other one that comes close for me is Garou: Mark of the Wolves.
>>10786759It's sad we cant have nice things. 3 was wonderful and best represents FF and SNK. Even if MotW is considered a better game on a technical level, it just feels so bland to me. Its a shame the new one is a sequel to it.
>>10787160It was an experimental game and I have super mixed feelings about it. The style is easily the best FF game but I like Special/Real Bout's rosters more and Real Bout's gameplay more. The story is almost good but I feel like it loses me thanks to the Jin brothers being kind of mediocre antagonists. Mai's redesign wasn't it. RB2 is truly peak FF but I wish more fighters were like AOF1/3 where the story isn't about a tournament and was more like an action flick where all the player characters happen to encounter each other. Garou is fine but it does reek of "giving up"
>>10787191I would have been happy to see the Jins gone in exchange for Duck and Billy, but that kinda fucks up the plot. Other then that, 3 for me is the true "street fighter" experience.
>this colorWhat were they thinking?
>>10787057>more brown cars than green or yellow onesGenuinely surprising
>>10787157The question is still why they chose a color more associated with women as the main color for marketing purposes.
>>10787057Looks like other than black they all came and went in fashion. Wonder if we're due for a color revival in the next 20 years.
>>10787196Mazda brought back red and I've seen plenty of blue Hondas, so maybe.
Many such cases
Post 'em

I don't think Supergun-tan can take all of those JAMMA connectors at once...
>>10786780Extra notes: -You can rent the supergun for 8 days for 3000 yen (About $28 USD).-The girls had no trouble setting it up. It was easy.-It's not "cute" enough in their opinion and they don't like the bare PCB aesthetic. It looks like something made by and for a Japanese salaryman.-Playing the real arcade games at home made them feel like a rich person
>>10786616>PCB *AND* Supergun shopshm
>>10786828You're trolling. Every PCB shop also sold superguns. These are not ads targeting game center operators looking to buy a PCB. That would be in Game Machine magazine.
>>10784057Wrong.During the height of the arcade era about 150 games were released each year. If these games didn't catch on within a few months they were considered flops and the board would traded in to a supplier for credit towards a different new game. Thus the PCB suppliers had a surplus of used boards. These would get distributed to a variety of different places such as 2nd-tier arcades, developing countries, and shops that sold directly to home users. There were hundreds of thousands of these game boards floating around and they were not that expensive, so naturally a hobbyist market developed. Which necessitated the usage of a control box or a home arcade cabinet. A control box is a lot cheaper and smaller so most people went with that option. Additional to all of this is the bootleg market. Older arcade titles without any form of copyright protection were bootlegged and could be purchased for lower prices than what were advertised in magazines like Gamest. In my opinion, in Japan this would be done under the table, and you'd have to know the shop owner. But if you lived in Taiwan or Hong Kong no one cared.
>>10786734You may not like it, but this is what the peak of civilization looks like.
let's talk about golf videogames
T&E Soft made better Golf games then they did RPGs. Check out the True Golf Classics line on SNES/SFC. Also before Neo Turf Masters there was The Irem Skins game in arcade and on SNES.
Always been a golf game enjoyer despite there being so many that are mediocre to straight up bad. Are Tiger Woods 04’ and 05’ still considered the best realistic ones? I always had more fun with the arcadey titles like Hot Shots, Mario golf (GBA and Toadstool Tour) and Neo Turf Masters. Anyone played Neo Turf on the Pocket? Was considering picking it up.
>>10787083Neo Turf Masters
