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.
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

>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
yakuza reincarnation is surprisingly good.
I think I realized one thing about isekai, it is probably to make stories culture neutral, to make export of stories easier. Few culture references that foreigners just wouldn't get.
I've got a copy of that Shadow of the Colossus remake on PS4 sitting on my desk and its been begging me to play it. I really oughta make time for it
I got to play some games with a few people on my emulators through netplay today. It was pretty fun.

Hosting is dirt cheap and I guarantee they do more than break even with their shitty donations and banner ads.
Got the new Metroid prime remaster, the dual analog is awkward and it looks much, much darker, but overall it's fun to replay Metroid Prime again, almost fresh after about half a decade when I last played it (Prime trilogy on Wii U). It almost is like when I first played it in 2004.
Really, really suck at stealth games. This is what I get for being impatient.
Raging Loop has been fun so far, interesting werewolf-inspired visual novel with elements of zero escape, when they cry... I'm a little worried it's about to jump the shark though, but here's hoping it rides the wave out.
I got a couple of shitty PS1 football games last week, “Football Madness” and “European Super League”. Football Madness could be pretty fun if it wasn't so clunky, it's rare to find fun arcadey football games with power-ups and stuff.

i never managed to actually get into mugen. it looks really fun but the jank puts me off too much
God damn Resident Evil 4 is salve for the soul. Whenever I feel like shit I just boot it up and I'm always having fun.
