The Bitmap Brothers

>>1233881 >More recently, Rift Apart is just as good as the PS2 quadrilogy. But is the writing? Because I feel the Ratchet series stopped being well written around Size Matters. Plenty of the games have still been fun mind you, ACIT is arguably the best in the series.

>>1385618 Ah yes, Size Matters writing. Though not as stupid as SAC, SM gets worse the more you think about it.

>>1386219 I do love the fact that SM and SAC were made by a guy from the OG devteam that thought he could do R&C better than the others.

Finished Visions of Mana and I didn't like it. >gameplay I played on hard, and the combat system itself was decent. I found the AI terrible in the beginning but as I got better equips and more skills they became mediocre to decent. They still died a lot for me especially in the final boss. I was very disappointed that you couldn't mix and match class passives until the postgame. For abilities I didn't really feel a need to really change things unless I did those elemental trials. >story It's shit and one of the worse stories even for JRPGs. To add to the crap storytelling they throw an excessive amount of cutscenes to pad the game. There are two types of cutscenes: one where you can mash the button to skip to the next dialogue and one where you cannot mash the button to quickly read along. There is an option to skip them entirely but if you want to follow the story then sometimes you have to sit and watch. Not to mention you start a cutscene then they make you walk like 5 steps to initiate the next cutscene. Repeat for the entire game and it gets really tiresome. >visuals I liked the art direction and the maps' looks. The people models looked very dumb though. >music Forgettable.

RPGmaker is fine, right? 7th Stand User, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure RPG maker fangame made by a Japanese housewife in her free time. You take a personality test at the start of the game that gives you a cool OC stand with its own moves, stats and influences over the original events of Stardust Crusaders. The combat is pretty solid for RPGM2000, there's a lot of things you can do to either alter the course of events or get unique rewards and outcomes, making the game very replayable. The soundtrack is a very good selection of what I assume are royalty free songs from some website or another. Expect to grind a lot and maybe have a guide in hand. Probably one of the best fangames out there, and a must play if you like Jojo.

>>1380396 >You mean being a dungeon-crawler rather than an open-world sandbox? You may jest, but you're kind of on the right track. I may not be the best to talk since my only real references of JRPGs are Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest V and Bravely Default, but for the little I've gathered, RPGs and JRPGs are a matter of style that can only be describe with the sum of it's parts, rather than one element or another. The passive turn-based combat, the emphasis in party customization, the complexity of stat modifiers, the random encounters, the middle ages worldbuilding, the maze-like dungeons, the orchestra symphonies, the pocket and stylized art direction, the linear story progression, the multiple playthrough hours and the emphasis on telling a tale rather than just being a game... when you put a handful of those things together, you got something that can be confidently called a JRPG, primarily because they feel much closer to the role playing game pioneers, the pen and paper ones, as well the computer ones.

>>1382725 Jak 1 was probably the best platformer on the platform, so it especially stings.

>>1382725 Jak 1 is excellent but I'd argue it's much too easy. I wish it had difficulty comparable to Crash 3. Jak II and 3 are totally different things, and I think I agree that I wish that they did the original sequel they had planned before they caved to focus groups. However, I still like Jak II and 3. They tried to do a zillion different things, and I don't think they were the best at any of those things, but they were good enough at all those things to make the overall games still quite enjoyable. And while I might say Jak II gets a bit too difficult in some places, I think I overall like the difficulty better in the sequels than in the original, which you can basically sleepwalk through. But yes, they're clearly less polished, and there are things that bug me quite a bit about them. But I still think they're pretty good. Daxter does an alright job at being a middle ground between the first and second games. It's a bit more focused on platforming rather than all the other bullshit. Also too short and easy, but for one of the first 3D games released on a handheld, that was acceptable. It's fun while it lasts. Jak X is awesome and the true sequel to CTR.

metroid prime 3 maybe. you can enter super mode at will. shooting costs hp, though, and if you linger in it for more than 10 seconds you enter a corrupt version in which HP bar starts filling up. if you let it sit full for a few seconds, you die. of course, using super mode is basically cheating >>1309428 >Does BoF3 Kaiser dragon count, since you can't control it you can, dummy. sort of. lrn2influence. or input one of the two correct gene combinations and it will let you input orders you also forgot to include rei's weretiger form which is ai-controlled and starts attacking your party too after a few turns

People's main critique seems to revolve about the random generation, but can you really handcraft many levels in a game that's this fast? Are you gonna spend much time thinking about where to place the 100th cactus when the typical player is zooming past it at a gorillion miles an hour? You could slow it down and make it more themed about deliberate platforming, but then you're basically making a different game. Games like sonic have always just stopped you dead in your tracks to do some precision platforming/stage gimmick and that's generally the only thing stopping levels from having minute clear times. Either way, I got my moneys worth out of it.

>>1223397 I don't think it's as hard as that, since these levels are pretty simple as a baseline, as they are largely flat lines/curves with hills.

>>1118713 (OP) I played the demo and felt like it was a great movement system that is completely wasted by the asinine decision to attach it to a procedurally generated roguelike good movement needs good level design to reach its full potential

>>1323608 >the level where you have to escape the drills ? The level where reinforcements arrive by train and Shadow knocks you off a crane It has the same geometry as the courtyard in marsarena, with some added bits

I guess I need some more tips because I'm getting totally wrecked in the secondary missions. The enemies are just spawning non-stop from every direction, including right behind me, to the point where I barely have enough time to reload, let alone heal or do any hacking objectives. Mostly I've been using the BOSCO because of all the snipers in New Eden. Should I switch to the KA?

>>1383163 >The enemies are just spawning non-stop from every direction Yes, that's what they tend to do. >Mostly I've been using the BOSCO because of all the snipers in New Eden. Should I switch to the KA? The BOSCO is all you should need outside of heavily armored enemies and helicopters. Make sure to learn to use it unscoped.

>>1381687 > I'm not spending more money than my entire fucking computer cost on a VR headset If you think that's expensive, just get a Q3. Not even to disparage you or anything, poverty is not a sin. It's a perfectly fine headset and a massive upgrade over index. Spend everything else you have on upgrading your PC. In a year, you will have a lot more to chose from HMD wise.

>>1381695 It's not even a matter of poverty, but in value for the dollar. I'm not going to get the mileage out of those VR headsets to justify spending over a grand a half on a headset - especially when the VR game industry is relying on shovelware just to maintain life support. I'll mostly be using it for sims. At any rate, a Quest 3 would be a downgrade from the Reverb G2, so I don't want to go that route.

>>1381721 >a Quest 3 would be a downgrade from the Reverb G2 Not really. G2 is the worst headset. Even for simmers running quest 3 wired would a massive upgrade over g2. For everyone who actually uses the controllers, you don't even need to say anything. G2 just can't compete, objectively. It's just worse at everything.

I thought the series died when the creator died of some disease.

How is this different from the PS3 game?

>>1379537 New characters, stages, and balance changes. Looks like the sprites might've been touched up too.

>>1198331 Depends on ypur country and what services you'll use to sell. But at worse you'll get a C&D request.

>>1198331 Bro honestly you can just go to a convention with free STL downloads of dice towers you found online and printed. Saw like 3 booths at my local convention selling Dice Towers I've seen online for "Beginner Prints" for $25 a pop, and they sold.

>>937217 At this point it would be cheaper to commission the printing and painting of a new figure than buying the original. (bump to save this thread)

>>1344013 It depends how intelligent/how strong your 3rd eye is. Dreams are less defined than reality because you're a further step down in the hierarchy. Think of a process running entirely within another process, necessary for it to be less advanced than the supra process. So your random NPC will have lower res dreams (which is why lowest common denom culture perpetuates myths like being unable to read etc), Vivec, Tiber septum, all of the chim guys will have high res dreams but ultimately less than the Godhead's dream I.E. mundus.

y'all fags still playing this junk?

>>1380798 On and off. Will probably delete it once I finish a full playthrough though - the filesize makes it very hard to justify it as one to keep installed

>>1190466 unfortunate

>To the Moon Wow, now that's a title I haven't heard of since... Well, since it came out and people were talking about it. I think I actually own it, picked it up after watching someone steam part of it on justin.tv. Now I feel sort of bad that I never played it.

Played To The Moon a long ass while ago - over a decade by now. Enjoyed it and own Finding Paradise, but still need to actually play it (and the rest) >>1365545 Great OST, if nothing else. There's worse story based vidya to spend time on.

>>1380225 (OP) >That's why Diablo sucks now >That's why Elder Scrolls sucks now >That's why Tekken sucks now All of those series began to suck long ago. Diablo 3 was a disaster for being always online, Oblivion was ridiculed for walking back many of the advancements that Morrowind provided, and all the additions from Tekken 4 were practically removed in every later game because competitive fags bitched and moaned. The only one that began to suck "recently" was Monster Hunter. >I remember my friend showed me red dead 2 and was so excited to see me play it. I nearly fell asleep. He pushed me into getting a copy and I couldn't get past the intro out of boredom. I asked him what he liked about the game and he told me he enjoyed the story and music. Ask him if he's played Gun, or any of the Call of Juarez games. >I tried to get my friend into...classic Monster Hunter Why would you do a thing like that when Freedom Wars and God Eater exist? >he told me they were too frustrating Because it is. "Classic" Monster Hunter is a bitch. There's a reason why people tell newfags to start with 4G or even 3G. And shmups have always required a special kind of autism if you want to play those. Unironically, I think the most "normalfag friendly" you can get with that is Galaga Arrangement. After that, it's introducing him to "proper" shmups through either the Milestone Shooting Collection on the Wii, or getting him to install old Psikyo games on his phone like Dragon Blaze: https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/15863 Strikers 1945: https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/11511 And Gunbird 2: https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/15461 >>1380296 >God I hate normalfags. Just go watch a film at that point. Anon, sound is an extremely important part of media. Sonic, Halo, and Smash Bros. are undeniable proof of this. And as for stories being a "bad" reason to play a game, explain why people still defend Blood Omen and Deus Ex to this day. If anything, I'd say that it kind of shows how little people have been exposed to the other games that have come out previously. That something like RDR2 "blows" their mind.

>>1380225 (OP) >elder scrolls sucks >now it always did

No shit Sherlock. Guess getting out of 4cuck and its endless corporal shilling finally opened your eyes?

Thanks for letting me know about this. I gave up on emulating it on a PSP emulator due to inconsistent input delay, and I can't really find anyone that can fix a PSP, give me a new charger and battery, and isn't going to charge a fortune for those after 2018.

>>1219487 (OP) Yeah but why isn't 3 include?

will probably get it on my switch 2 for the kino handheld experience the game was built for

I haven't played many of ports that were different games as a kid, these are the only ones that I could remember. Spiderman 3 was kinda dogshit compared to SM1 from PS1 and the other 2 from PS2. I might have played some lego demakes but i'm not 100% sure. >>1225970 Ristar is pretty cool, reminds me of Sonic CD.

>>1378070 Not a released game but there's also the Quake GBA prototype that was being made in 2002.

>>1225809 This isn't a port in any sense, though. It has a different name and everything.

>>1119252 (OP) Call me when Sleeping Dogs 2 releases instead.

>>1301903 >delayed over half a year this late Are games that get a delay this late ever anything a trashfire?

>>1301907 retard

Oh is that a low effort OP with no bumplock I spy? Yeah fuck off.

>>1377675 (OP) Make a new thread this one was deemed low effort by the fags and saged

>>1389513 Honestly there isn't much of a point. Fullchan is just not interested in THLLDA for the most part. The other thread that was more active (before the game came out anyway) is already gone. There's just no point.
