Just talk about whatever game you're playin, want to play, want to buy, what you just bought - whatever.
Just a nice, lazy places to spout random crap about games.
>>61 Me too, happy days! I liked FF7 but I was too young to understand the concept of RPGs, levelling up to beat bosses etc. Got stuck at Materia Keeper for ages, then one day managed to fluke a win, but went the wrong way afterwards and got stuck in the sidequest where Yuffie steals all your materia. Had no chance to beat the boss, so was completely stuck there.
The PlayStation Magazine did a thing for a while on the demo discs where you could download save data for various games (all characters unlocked, all weapons, stuff like that) and they had a FFVII save just before heading in to fight Sephiroth. I played it a lot from that point, doing lots of sidequests and things, but I've never actually seen most of the game properly...
Crash and Spyro were great, but Ape Escape was the best platformer on PS1
>>61 Who did you play most in Tekken? I liked Yoshimitsu when I was young but now I like Asuka and Jun
>>64 i own tekken and tekken 3 of which i played more. i never stuck to one character and i played kazuya and law i absolutely loved his sound effects and extreme acrobatic kicks. his parry was fucking amazin when he put his knee up and backflipped off the opponents leg. furthermore i agree yoshimitsu had an indefinate appeal.
>>63 i own ape escape as well. it is truly fun however the gem collection in crash 2 had its replay value and the adorable polar bear levels in snow are super fun.
dubs
>>62 this sounds like a precise replica of my ff7 experience. i was at gamestop with my dad and the clerk recommended ff7 it had quite the reputation at that time only once i played ff7 in adulthood had i came to appreciate its artform and battles . i played it many times getting stuck and not knowing where to go and coming back to it. i even once got stuck ok angel sephiroth ad gave in then restarted the game many many months later. i recently completed it a few years ago.
Golazo! Football League is a pretty fun arcade football game, but my country isn't in it so I gave it a 2-star review. It's fun to play but I'm just like, I guess I'll go Holland or Japan or something
Things you build in factorio have an uncanny resemblance to living creatures, with conveyor belts being the blood flow.
playing outer wilds made me feel like a little kid again
I felt like shooting some baddies today so I played some Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on PS3. It was fun but so annoying when you sneak around a corner and came face to face with a terrorist, but when you try to step back behind cover your teammates are right there blocking you and you get shot
>>63
I prefer the spyro games overall but ape escape has really unique, endearing charm to it. I love that each monkey has a name and a little personality. What a great game.
I want more games that can be played with one hand
I want a new Armored Core title...
FROMSOFTWARE needs to think back to their old fans and push AC again :/
>>73
Eroge?
I love Rocket League but I'm not that great at it, but it's even more fun when teammates get mad at me when I make a mistake!
Found some cheats for touhou. I can't die without seeing all endings.

Finished touhou 15 on very very easy. Burger fairy's hip movements are delightful. That one winged girl gave me some yandere vibes, she was super serious during introduction but was smiling during the fight itself.
Touhou 15 on one hand is a noticeable spike in difficulty, on other hand it actually lowers it much lower than in most games. It adds savestates pretty much. But to compensate, ZUN made patterns harder overall. It's good, I don't have to restart the game and replay those boring first 3 stages again and again to have another chance on stage 5.
There is no touhou thread here, huh. Maybe I should create one? Need to post links to wikis and such.
>>80 Go for it dude!
As for me, I've been playing Borderlands 1 for the first time
After a decade or more of being recommended it I finally played and beat Ghost Trick.
It's crazy how nostalgic it feels now, definitely some of the best feelings I've gotten playing a video game recently.

so many games to pick from

I played B1 for the first time not too long ago after having played B2 and Pre-Sequel first.
Combat and Skills feels unpolished in comparison (especially the way elements are handled) but it's fine otherwise.
I can see why some fans of 1 hate what happened going on, I think the aesthetic and tone really did go downhill even though 2 is my first game in the series. 1 did have a problem with areas being VERY same-y and hard to remember due to being overly brown.
BPM: Bullets Per Minute (2020) is way too fun for what looks like an unironic unity store asset flip. Who knew clicking heads to the beat was so satisfying?
My friend gave me FF7 remake for PS4, what a pal <3
Would I maybe be the only person in the whole world to play RC Stunt Copter on the PS1 this crisp Christmas day? Me and my brother also played:
Nostalgic fun...
Now the key to controlling Ogre is this pendant...
Recently got into Lobotomy Corporation. My journey went something like this:
Plays some LoR
20 hours later
Someone on steam describes this game as "Korean Autism Management Simulation" which is v accurate & should probably indicate if it's for you or not. My recommendation is (1) unless you're a serious masochist, I would grab some mods that make grinding for stats easier, make it so deaths are not permanent, and make gifts more common, and (2) name your employees after either people you know or characters in media you enjoy. Feels like it would be a lot more fun to do that than sticking with the random names like I did.
Megaman would be so much better if you could switch weapons without pausing the game and opening the menu. And aiming with your mouse. And being 3d. Basically, megaman would be much better if it was quake.
Quake would be so much better if it had catchy music and cute girls.
With Live a live getting a remake, I felt an urge to replay the game so I tried getting the roms from emuparadise using the workaround but firefox is blocking my download. I was wondering if anyone here knows if the site is still safe to use?
>>94 Is that a SNES game? I went to emuparadise and it wouldn't let me (not sure of the workaround you mentioned) but I can confirm I downloaded Live A Live for the SNES from RomHustler no problem
I disabled all firefox "warnings" long ago after they started marking one site I used as unsafe. Malware usually only exists in exe and dll files, it is technically possible to be infected through just roms (if emulator developer was very clumsy and allowed stack overflows or buffer overflows or something like that), but it's very very unlikely. Download emulators from well known sites, download roms from wherever you want.
I'm surprised emuparadise is still a thing, I though it was forced to not exist.
To disable Malware Protection in Firefox,
Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Uncheck Block dangerous and deceptive content.
type about:config in the address bar, and change those to false
browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled
browser.safebrowsing.phishing.enabled
maybe browser.safebrowsing.downloads.remote.enabled and rest

Final Fantasy VII Remake is making me happy, it's so nice seeing all these people and places again come to life! I wish there was a first-person view, I just want to look at everything. Also there should be a hug button so Cloud can give Tifa and Aerith a nice cuddle
Got a weird urge to play FIFA '97 today... pretty clunky, but it was the first fully-3D FIFA game. Played an indoor 5-a-side tournament, as far as I know only FIFA 97 and 98 had this indoor mode, and none of the later ones did. The computer was beating me due to the clunky controls, so I swapped to the other team and hacked the goalie to get them all sent off! However, once a certain number of players have been sent off, you no longer get red cards - in FIFA 98, after I think 4 or 5 get sent off the match is abandoned and the other team automatically wins 3-0.
I got FIFA 98 when it came out but got 96 and 97 a few years later... the guy in Electronic Boutique seemed confused why I'd want to buy these old ones
Looking up cheats for FIFA 97 just now I came across this:
>Play track six of the game disk in a CD player to hear singing by John Motson, a member of the EA development team.
I already knew about the John Motson song, because any time we got a new PS1 game we'd always put it in a CD player to see if there was any music, but it's pretty funny seeing him described as “a member of the EA development team”. (He's maybe Britain's most well-known football commentator for like 40 years)
The PS1 version of FIFA '96 had a 3D pitch but 2D sprites, as did Jonah Lomu Rugby
I got Bomberman Hardball on PS2 recently. I love Bomberman but hadn't heard of it. It's Bomberman plus tennis, baseball and golf modes. I only played the Tennis one so far, but it was just a basic tennis game - I was expecting some bomb element? Like in Anna Kournikova Smash Court Tennis on PS1 there was a bomb tennis mode, where a bomb is placed where the ball bounces, so you have to avoid explosions as well as hit the ball.
I liked the “Home” menu on Bomberman, he is chilling in his house :)
Anna Kournikova Smash Court Tennis was fun though, you could unlock a bunch of characters from other Namco games like Tekken and Time Crisis
Shame that Hudson Soft had to be bought over by Konami of all people. If you like the Bomberman series I'd recommend Bomberman World and Wars for the Playstation. I have fond memories of the the both of them. Wars is especially unique in that it's a TRPG and is in some ways reminiscent of chess.
I'm meh towards Bomberman, but Bombergirl was quite a game. I somehow killed like a week or two just getting all content, images, and voicelines out of it.
It's a japanese only game, and arcade only game. They planned to make a pc version, but had some problems with payment and scrapped the whole idea. At least that's what they say. I got my hands on pc version and played it offline, it was an experience. It's made in unity engine.
>>104 Yeah, but it was pretty cool how in Super Bomberman R on PS4 you could play as a bunch of Konami characters like Snake, Raiden, Ape Escape monkey, Pyramid Head etc. I had Mega Bomberman on the Mega Drive but not played any of the PS1 ones. Wars looks pretty fun, looks like Final Fantasy Tactics!
>>105 Hmmm looks quite nice, cute characters :)
Anyone interested in that Tiny Tina's Wonderlands thing? I haven't seen any gameplay but when I was playing Borderlands I kept shooting Tiny Tina cos she was so annoying
>>103 I thought “Hmmm I wonder if someone's done a video of all the hidden characters on youtube?” (I unlocked them all but lost my memory card) and found some interesting things. Firstly, I didn't know about these hidden pictures hidden behind the wall in the practice area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rNU9qGqMrg and the music also brought back memories so I wondered if someone might be sharing the soundtrack or a rip on slsk (sometimes you get lucky...) and came across a massive collection of PS1 midi files! Downloading now, interested to hear some of these.
Then I found this, I knew there were other Smash Court games but I didn't know anything about them, it's nice to see Xiaoyu running around playing tennis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI8RsUQW848
>>106
Ape escape games are so fun. Especially when the did the minigame spinoff with the boats and laser swirds and propellar race courses
>>109 The minigames in Ape Escape 1 and 2 were great fun. I remember trying to unlock all the monkeys in the Monkey Boxing game in the first one, it got pretty hard. I actually bought Ape Escape 2 again on PS4 recently, even though I 100%'d it on PS2, it was worth it just to play MONKEY FOOTBALL again!
111GeT likes RePeATiNg GeTTeriNo's
I'd love it if they re-released Ape Escape 3 on PS4, but I heard it's complicated licensing-wise because of the Metal Gear Solid stuff in it
yeah those tiny apes are o so adorable. from the ones with capes or rotating lights or sunglasses or swords or really even plain
Suddenly got a weird urge to play No Fear Downhill Mountain Biking (I don't have it though)
Bought some pervy game on PS4 called Hentai vs Evil for a fiver, looking forward to trying it out later, I guess
sonic the niggercock
>>115 Very easy Platinum if you're into that
Tryin' ta find a copy of BLOODY ROAR 2 on PS1, or maybe 3 on PS2 which I was unaware of, if I can find it cheap
>Tryin' ta
Are you a nigger?
>>119 Nope, I'm just windin' you up, too easy
What is windin'? Sounds chinese.
>>121 Get ON-TOPIC or get OFF DA BOARD!
I played a game I've never played before the other day, I can't remember what it was called but I think it comes preinstalled on the 3DS - you take a photo of your face and it makes baddies out of it, and you use the built-in camera to shoot your heads down in the room you're in. I was sitting on the toilet blasting balls at my heads flying around the bathroom! What drugs were they on when they came up with that idea XD
Played Little Witch Nobeta (cute & funny dark souls), and it was fun and pretty charming but slightly rough around the edges in some places. Supposedly it's going to be finished later this year; looking forward to that.
vc: incume (no!!!)
A funny thing happened to me the other day. I was playing Lego Worlds and found you can spawn little bunny rabbits. They hop about, or you can pick them up, and if you throw them in the water they swim. They are so cute... I thought “omg, that is so cute... I think I'm going to cry...” and then I started crying
Anyone play MGSV? I finished the game, and I'm currently grinding to level up my base to unlock the crazy weapons. Every couple of weeks I'll switch it on to collect SP, I earn enough to get 12 S++ soldiers. It's taking ages. I think the way you're supposed to do it is play online and rob other players, but you also get robbed of staff and resources yourself. Still a while away from some cool weapons.
Create a MGSV thread, and in the span of next 20 years someone who played that game will eventually show up.
Guys, if you were to make a crossover of various rpg game characters, which ones would work well together? Various rpg work slightly differently, so I'm curious which ones would be most compatible. You can add non rpg characters as well, but you need to specify their abilities or how they would play.
I never played this ReBoot game for the PS1, I was just watching this longplay and thought the credits screen was pretty fun

Steam Next Fes has me downloading hundreds of demos so I can level my shiny badge. Really puts into perspective the kind of stupid shit that motivates me to actually have fun, but now that I've got going I'm really enjoying playing so many different games.
What games use real world logistics? For example, I want to know what materials are needed for making plastic. Civilization and Factorio probably use real resources, probably.
Oh man, I finished Pokémon Ultra Moon a while ago and completed my pokédex, and now I went back to get all 100 totem stickers... i worked my way through a guide and got to the end but missed one! Now I need to go back through the whole list to find the one I somehow missed
>>130 I feel like maybe searching for something like "minecraft expanded realism production" is most likely to hit something like this. Civ is not very realistic, at least based on my experience with it. Honourable mention to Autonauts which does seem fairly realistic when it comes to this sort of thing.
I need to improve my dodging in Xonotic. Aim is decent from training, but that doesn't mean anything if I take 2 direct rockets and die. Tips?
Vivid Knight is cute & addictive.
I have been playing Sonic 3&K and have managed to die at the exact same spot in FBZ over 50 times now, in the exact same way, each time.
I repeat the exact same failed jump time and time again without difference.
I begin to suspect that I am clinically retarded.
>>138 Hadn't heard of Sonic 3 AIR, interesting. Maybe a silly question but had you played them before? I had 1, 2 and & Knuckles on the Mega Drive but not 3, so 3 always had a kind of exotic energy to me growing up, if that makes sense
Ahahah it's so satisfying in Rocket League when the other team has one toxic player, making snide remarks about teammate and opponent alike, and then you rough him up in extra time when he's in goals and your teammate scores the winner!
>>101 FIFA 2000 on the PS1 had a scratch 'n' sniff disc, it had a grassy aroma!!
The final boss in Metal Gear Rising Revengence is sooooo good. Everything is so cheesy but it works!
Still surprised that there are whole communities playing the old PS2/GC DBZ fighting games over netplay, even if they're on Discord.
Now that I can just buy touhou fangames on steam my library is growing out of control
£300 for Jonah Lomu Rugby on PS1!!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403597134144
>its the official Jomah rugby game paly hard and fast with the worlds powerful winger i the video game he designed!
Why don't people always bring the right element to Alatreon hunts huh why???
Receive You The Prototype is probably one of my favorite boss themes of all time. It's the kind of theme you play in your head while fighting OTHER games' bosses.
I was introduced to vinted.com over xmas, which is mostly for vintage clothes but had a bunch of retro games as well. I bought some interesting PS1 and PS2 games this month, all for about a tenner. Let me to tell you about them!
Let's get the golf games out of the way: Cyber Tiger, PGA Tour '98 (both PS1) and International Golf Pro (PS2). They were all pretty shit. Cyber Tiger is a cartoony golf game featuring Tiger Woods, and you can also play as Teen versions of Tiger and other characters. It seemed a bit creepy tbh. PGA '98 I got because I loved FIFA '98, and the box art was similar, so I was curious to check it out. It's kinda interesting how the annual wave of EA Sports games have a common look each year, I guess. It was only a pound and not that good. International Golf Pro was also pretty boring.
Another one I got was Psybadek for PS1 for 50p. I had the demo of it, I think it was on the same demo disc as Crash Bandicoot 3. I remember it got shit reviews at the time. It's a kinda cute snowboard racer thing where you collect little crystal things, but it's not very fun
Then I got The Italian Job for PS1. It feels like the Driver games but set in London and Turin like the film. I had a demo of this as well, I remember that the demo was a chase mission from the game, but the mission only starts when you drive into it - if you reversed and went down an alley you were able to explore the whole London level with no time limit. I wonder if that was done deliberately? I found the steering clunky like a lot of driving games of this time.
I also got two copies of Brian Lara Cricket, a standard edition and a platinum edition (he was selling them together for £1). I know absolutely nothing about cricket so I was just mashing buttons to throw the ball and hit it. Didn't know what any of the numbers meant for scoring. It had something I've noticed on a few PS1 games I've played on the PS3, where the sounds stops working and just plays a high-pitched EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE noise for a while; then when I hit the ball it changes frequency. I wonder if this is some sound glitch related to the PS3 handling sounds differently than the native PS1 or something?
Just for a laugh I wondered what would happen if I swapped the game out and put the platinum version in while it was still running. It carried on playing no trouble.
Anyone here still play MUGEN games?
played one porn fighting game made in mugen last year. Had only 2 characters.
>>154
Do you happen to remember the name of it?
no. Remind me in one week, I'll dig through my hdd.
>>152 IIRC platinum PS1 games were simply a re-release with a fancier [citation needed] box - games that had "gone platinum" were given a special border on the box to signify that they were some sort of best seller. I would expect the discs to be identical, unless there's some difference I don't know about
>>157 Yeah I figured they'd be functionally identical despite them looking different (original releases had artwork on the discs, Platinum versions have generic shiny discs).
>>156
What's that fucking game? You never came back, faggot. Probably didn't even have a nude mugen game.
mugen was fun. too bad i deleted my setup.
tried to rebuild it but all the files can be pretty much only be found on mugenarchive and mugenarchive operators are fags.
no i dont want to donate or contribute to access the files.
what good is an archive that is not mirrored and only gate kept for the purpose of making money?
oh well. nothing good lasts forever.
>>160 Making money isn't the “purpose”, it's to offset the cost of leeching bandwidth
