Thread 12145445
So what the fuck was the big deal? I remember playing this back when in released with all the hype shit and was like:
"So I'm playing a shitty butchered rpg instead of a good one just so I can see retards play the game too on the background?"
And never touched it again.

What were the retro games you were most excited to play back in the day?

I remember being incredibly hyped when Dragonball Budokai was announced, cause I loved watching it on Toonami. I saw ads for it in gaming magazines as early as 2001, a whole year before it came out. As a very little kid at the time (I think I was seven or eight) it was really hard having to wait that long to play the game.

Final Fantasy VII
Man... I'm that anon who's playing the series in release order, just finished this and as much as I don't want to sound like a corny normalfag this is the best one so far and it's not even close. I expected a storydriven '''moviegame''' because people here have convinced me that the gameplay takes a backseat but the materia system is just so much fun. And I mean I don't need to tell you about everything else like the story, characters, music enemy designs, prerendered backgrounds, etc, literally everything is 10/10. There is one and only one thing that I'm not a big fan of: most dungeons are way too short but that's about it. Will be taking a break from the series now. And it looks like 8 is when this Final Fantasy thing starts when some fans love the game and it's their favorite but the others think it's 2/10 dogshit, I've realised that it's like that with every game in the series from 8 onwards
TL;DR This game isn't overrated actually

I disagree, it was Probe's fault. Genesis and SNES' MK3 and UMK3 were ported by the same people and all versions are fairly comparable in quality.

it kinda fucking sucks
The world looks like a giant brown bowl of shit, every NPC just feels like a static object that exists purely to infodump bland, copy-pasted garbage to you about the same generic topics, combat is fucking abysmal, missing 90% of attacks against a fucking unmoving worm, and I dared to try to attack a generic peasant in a shack and couldn't even hit him one single time before giving up and reloading, and the armor system makes zero sense as the light armor the shopkeeper sells has 4x as much armor as the heavy armor despite being much cheaper and more lightweight.

It's just boring, dry, unintuitive garbage. Honestly I don't know how people even still play these games, they've aged so poorly. I remember liking this game as a kid, but I was stupid with no standards back then.

And I'm not jaded or zoomer or anything, I can still play shit like Max Payne 1 or ALttP or Star Fox 64 or DKC and realize "yeah this game is still a fucking classic and for good reason". Meanwhile Morrowind feels like it was only ever good to one small niche of tabletop autists for one small window of time where its early 3D jank was acceptable and before later (and honestly earlier) RPGs ran circles around it.

This has to be said. Yeah, DA looks cooler, has extra content, has better new characters. But it's not a real MK game. It doesn't play like MK. It doesn't continue the arcade legacy. It's stiff and awkward. Fighting style change gimmick is worse than MK4 weapons gimmick.

MK4 is a true MK game and a continuation of arcade MK games. It's fluid and fun. The arcade version doesn't even look that bad, Legacy Collection finally does it justice.

Shmups
Why is the Gradius series so underrated amongst modern shmup fans? The shmups forum doesn't even have a Gradius game in its top 25 anymore. Easily one of the most fun and soulful series of all time. If you're turned off by its infinite loops and lack of a central scoring mechanic then you have Parodius which is arguably even better in multiple ways. But good ol' Gradius ought not be forgotten. Gradius 1 in 1985 was probably the first scrolling shmup ever released to still be fun in the modern day. The power-up system and the weapon loadouts are still remarkably fun.

It's not quake who cares, and there's the ps2 games too. These games had nothing to do with Dark Souls, they were all about immersion as proven in the Echo Night games.

The ONE thing that would have made KF feel better, more action-y, more popular:

The answer is Melee. I have at least decent experience with it, UMK3, and non-vr DBFZ. The former has the lowest skill floor of any multiplayer game I've played save maybe TF2 (this is /vr/ now btw you're old as fuck). I went from zero experience with fighting games to pubstomping unassisted in abou...

Are you like 12? These were the conclusions I reached when I was that age and thought it was neat.

I-Ninja is such a sick game. I legit like it more than ninja gaiden and dmc3. I think it was a budget title too, like 30 bucks when it came out.

Good stuff anon.
Come to think of it, since this is the only thing that Milton is required for, this technically means that he could be optional, granted you can survive the fight, not to mention that without finding Milton you can't go back to switch to Grady so you'd have to fight him with just Jennifer and Rick. ...
Here is another bit of trivia for you, in Germa City when you fight the Commander, if you don't have Milton in your party a harder variant of the boss fight will trigger. Commander will have 2816 HP instead of 280 as well boosts to all his other stats; and everyone your party will start the fight wi...
I'm nearly finished with my walkthrough/FAQ and I just found two nice pieces of trivia: the Fang Ant and Kick Crow souls are both unused.
Fang Ant enemy drops no soul, and the art for the soul's animation is that of cat's so it's clearly unfinished.
Kick Crow enemy drops the Bird soul. Both the Bird...

Weird, the first game (internet calls it "'Chacha-Maru' Panic" for some reason) was only released about four months later in 1991. I wonder what they were thinking.

The never famous second string alternative gimmicky fighters
Of SNK and Capcom, which series do you prefer?

I definitely lean towards team SS. VS is cool, the kawaii factor and fanbase annoys me but as a Western horror and animation fan there's a lot to appreciate beyond that with the themes and cartoon physics. Gameplay wise though I always liked the chain combos and etc but really disliked the pushblock gimmick, Samshos litany of gimmicks are better executed IMO because I don't think any are limiting to it's appeal

No. The whole world.
>>12169392 (OP)
Both of these games are very famous, samurai shodown is still getting games, Darkstalkers was relatively recently included in a collection that sold millions and still gets merch and crossovers.

Samsho because I hate combos

SNK went bankrupt

So what happened with the sequels for the series to become irrelevant?
