Back in the retro days, was there a general excitement among gamers to hype up Bethesda games starting with Morrowind? And did you or others feel let down when Oblivion didn’t quite live up to those e...

What are some of the most chill/relaxing retro games?

I feel physical pain when I look at them. Early low budget CGI is horrific, I wish they would use still 2D images with recorded dialogue like Max Payne.

I've done it, beaten Scenario 3 at last. What a ride. This has to be Magnum Opus of the Saturn, I don't think anything can top it. Overall I think I enjoyed Scenario 1 the best for two reasons: it wa...

What would /vr/ classify this character archetype? Because damn, do I really miss it very badly in gaming.

Literally best game ever made and it's not even close. You could play for 100 years nothing else and it would still never get old. Even for 1000 years. This game is pure crack.

This trope fucking SUCKS. I get they want to switch up the gameplay but there's never been a case where it's fun. It's bad as escort missions.

Is there a reason that nobody ever talks about Tails Adventure, even with the internet's Metroidvania and Sonic obsession? It's genuinely one of the best Game Gear titles around.

The first was better in every way except graphical fidelity, but even then the environment was way more interesting looking. It's like they tried to make the gameplay as annoying as possible in this.

There's rogue-like style hacks out there for several games now, like aria of sorrow, Pokémon, live a live, FF6, etc... But if there's one game that truly needs a roguelike hack, it's mega man battle ...
