Jeez whats wrong with this guy

the great filter

>xylophones are a guitar

>>725233935 (OP)
sorry OP nu/v/ is too underage to know this game at this point

You're just a squirrel looking for an elk.

>>725235260
Yep. I never did make it past them back in the day.

>>725235813
No its a gitaroo, which is the word for the powerful musical weapons used in the story. They can be any instrument, from a normal guitar, to a DJ booth, to an entire church

>>725233935 (OP)
Why is this game so expensive?
I was considering buying it because /v/ recommends it but after seeing the price and weird gameplay I passed it.

>>725235260
The intro is a little tough, but the rest is pure kino.

>Rhythm game
>Only one good song (Bee Jam Blues) in the entire game
What the fuck

>>725233935 (OP)
Exceedingly based thread

>>725240079
Just emulate it.

>>725240249
It's easier to say which songs are bad.
Even then, Nuff Respect is a little out there but still fun to play, and Resurrection has the scratchy guitar and still comes out kino.

>>725240079
Just get an HDD and freemcboot memory card if you have a fat PS2. I basically said fuck that to buying God Hand as an example and haven't looked back

How can this scene be so cheesy and yet so awesome and emotional at the same time?

>>725233935 (OP)
Yeah I also watched moonmoon play it. Shit was cash

>>725240079
don't emulate it, it has horrible input latency.
ppsspp has better latency so if u really cant do real hardware, just do that.

>>725240678
japanese words = lots of english words for translation
they had a lot of dialogue to squeeze in and they didn't want to re-render the cutscenes

>>725240645
>HDD and freemcboot memory card
How does this work? My fat PS2 disc tray doesn't open anymore so this might be something I'm interested in doing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm5cuxEVuOM I pray for a Gitaroo remaster with the duet songs from the PSP version

>>725240945
Memory card becomes a backdoor, hdd holds all your games now.
Just look up freemc, it's a tried and true method, mostly retard proof.

Why can't we have soulful games like this anymore?

>U-1
>Eddie Riggs from Brutal Legend
>Chai from Hi-Fi Rush
why does every protag from a guitar weapon focused game start off as a fuckup? Is it supposed to be symbolic of the self-doubt someone has when first committing to being a musician? the least big spaghetti spiller is eddie but even that's debatable because he became a roadie for Kabbage Boy

>>725241078
Neat.
Do you have any recommendations for the kind of HDD I need?

>>725241425
>Creators of Gitaroo Man and Parappa come back to crowdfund a new rhythm game

>>725235260
that bullshit shark level that's only dodging is way worse

>>725241515
First of all, you'll need a network adapter to connect a hard drive. Those only accept IDE drives. You'll need an adapter if you want to use anything more recent.

>>725241515
I actually went the disc burning route 'cause I'm a physicalfag

>>725241515
nta but be on the look out for fat mechanical HDDS this month since it's black friday month, I got a WD Red 10tb HDD for mine from newegg on sale awhile back. IIRC the entire PS2 library not counting homebrew is around 16 tb so thankfully the market is inching closer to a decent price for that capacity

It's been over 20 years, but playing The Legendary Theme for the first time is still one of the coolest moments in vidya

>>725235260
>stuck on it for months on master mode

>come back a year later
>beat it on the first try

what the fuck happened

>>725240249
faggot of the day award: you

>see previews for this game on gamespot in early 2000s
>shit yeah this game will never come out here
>in the mall one day, going to the game store
>gitaroo man is just there, with its japanese artwork

fucking. amazing.

>>725241889
gitaroo man has multiple subtle variants of the song it can mix and match to prevent you from just completely memorizing the song and then the game is over (most obvious with the skeletons since they play different instruments) so you might've just gotten the easier one but probably you just became better at vidya

Thanks for the answers anons. It's either buy a ribbon cable to fix the drive or buy something that can play whatever the heck I want to play.

>>725241746
>network adapter to connect a hard drive
Weird.
Apparently there are knock-off Chinese adapter things that support SATA.
>>725241830
>entire PS2 library is around 16 tb
I have a 500GB drive lying around somewhere and that's way more than enough. I'm definitely not the type of person who cares if they have every single game ever including Barbie's Shovelware Adventure downloaded. I'll maybe use like 50GB total for the games I want to play.

>>725241746
if he can't find the OG one, there's a Kaico SATA drive (no ethernet port tho) adapter from amazon for like 20-30 bucks, it's just that and in my case a plastic HDD tray just for the sake of aligning the drive in the bay more easily,

>>725241997
Back when they'd make random quirky games that would sell maybe 100,000 copies at 20 bucks but that's ok because they were made on a non-existent budget.

>>725242205
Another fantastic game. everything from that Fresh Games label was great.

Also can I use the Free MCBoot thing to play PS1 games too?

>>725235260
I couldn't even make it past the Bee guy, though truth be told I'm shit at rhythm and shump games

>>725242362
There are several ways to go about it, so google and find the one you like.

Post your favorite songs ffs

>>725233935 (OP)
I too watch moonmoon

>>725242406
How about shmup rhythm games?

>>725241425
You could but you're only going to see them from indie developers, hard to justify games like these to bean counters these days.

Posting favorite song, though most are fantastic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b-04n8F1Qg

I don't think many or any other rhythm games really adopted the approach of having different segments that it could use so you might not see the same pattern every attempt.

Love the true back and forth of this one

Is the dog supposed to be the speaker?

>>725242362
as far as i understand it, not natively because the PS2 uses the ingrained PS1 hardware only for discs. So you can't run PS1 games natively from the HDD but through an emulator which is not perfect

>>725243018

No defense phase was such a nice touch.

How did you guys make it to Sambone trio

>>725243206
Play on PSP. PS2 version kinda sucks for gameplay.

>>725242362
Yes and no, long story short there are 2 ways of playing PSX games.
One is playing them NATIVELY - as in, not emulating by putting original CD or using disc swap trick to boot a burned copy.
Second is playing them EMULATED by using a different branch of OPL (the original main one has it disabled by default) or PSBBN or DKWDRV.
Basically playing non-legit PSX games on PS2 is a hassle because tldr the console disables certain hardware functions, and some of the engineers at sony just said fuck it and decided to make POPS emulator for the jap PSBBN as a gimmick for playing PSX games through HDD, and this is what modders used for the other stuff like OPL etc.
This means the emulation is very inaccurate, as it was only made for few example games for that PSBBN service. It's simply better to have a modded PSX if you don't want to juggle discs around.

>>725243248
PS2 is the exact same except you have to be way more precise.

>>725243202
They knocked it out of the fucking park with the acoustic version.
The electric version later is great in its own ways, but this one really makes you feel something.

MOJO MOJO KING BEEEEE

Seriously, how the FUCK are you supposed to do this song on master
Look how close those buttons are.

>>725243916
>>725243709
I never played the game, but I had a demo disc that had this and I THINK Silent Hill 3 on it too.
Both demos are burned into my mind, the former because of MOJO MOJO MOJO MOJO - KING. BEE.
And the latter because I spent 20 minutes in the pause menu the first time I saw a monster.

>>725244249
>Seriously, how the FUCK are you supposed to do this song on master
Practice and muscle memory

You only made this thread because moonmoon was playing it.

celeb garbage, ignore

I don't even remember the last time someone mentioned this game here. I guess /v/ isn't always so bad. I'll chose to ignore that this is apparently only getting a thread cause some streamer played it

>>725240249
Bee Jam Blues is the best song but you're fuckin crazy.

>>725248841
to be fair i only actually made this thread because I already played the game and enjoyed it a lot

>>725248841
You can't really have a PS2 thread without some anons saying you need to play Gitaroo Man, the big difference is that having a thread all to itself is pretty lackluster considering it's two decades old and no one celebrates its birthday.

(WEBM related: it's my first-ever 4chan WEBM with all the wrong settings, and the video I took was taken in shit lighting and I forced a couple "enhancement" effects too for some dumb-ass reason. Looks like shit, can't even see Wario's shit-eating grin.)
