Someone in the last thread mentioned Sin and Punishment and that it apparently owned and I thought "Oh hey I have that game on the Wii VC and haven't played it yet" so I decided to start it up and honestly I'm not sure where the love for it comes from. It's cool and all, and actually looks and feels like an arcade game, but it has some wicked bad control problems. Maybe it's better on a N64 controller, but both Wii Classic and GameCube controllers aren't exactly the best to use with it, no matter what control scheme you set.

V's story is dumb but the writers/translators knew it was its so its a lot more fun than the later FFs in that regard. 4, 5, and 6 was when the series was at its peak.

was gonna post a screenshot that i made during my last ff5 game of exdeath saying "MWAHAHA I DISGUISED MYSELF AS A STICK!" or some such but I can't find it :(

SMRPG will always be one of my favorite games ever. Everything about it is god drat perfect.

Heavy Lobster posted:

SMRPG is just about the perfect length for a structured RPG, I think. As much as I love the first two Paper Marios, it's easy to stall out just short of the end in both of them.

I played through 99% of thousand year door and burned out literally just before the final boss. gently caress that game is long but it's hella good and better than anything else from the franchise released since. I should see if I can find a copy of it somewhere but chances are it costs like a billion dollars by now :(

Only thing I had from the 'katz was a n64 RF connector and it was a piece of loving poo poo that would bleed colors and cause the sound to clip.

All of those rich colors in mischief makers and mystical ninja? Washed the gently caress out because I had to turn the saturation down to see anything. All the explosions in turok and GoldenEye? Unbearably crackly unless I turned the TV down to inaudible volumes.

I was smart enough to not buy their controllers at least, but none of my friends were.

so long you piece of poo poo :patriot:

how to make a third party controller i will buy: make it less than 60 loving dollars so i don't have to buy the licensed ones

I had a SNES controller that was also compatible with the Genesis (:iiam:) and it was great because all the buttons had different TURBO SPEED options.

it even had a "slow motion" switch that would just rapid-fire the Start button! (it was awful lmao)

Decided to play a gimmick game in LttP where I get all the dungeon items and move on to the next without beating the boss. The idea was to go back and kill old bosses after I get juiced with the gold sword and silver arrows and all that poo poo (I had to beat the ice and swamp bosses to do that, though). Just for kicks or whatever.

well so much for that because the game bugged out and now I can't get through the second dungeon because all the doors are locked again but I can't re-collect the keys! :buddy:

I can't figure out higan's cheat editor for the life of me. I can probably hack in the keys if I knew how :(

In non framerate news I have been playing The Evil Within in July thanks to grabbing it for 12 dollars.

I was extremely interested in the evil within because it's a shameless re4 clone.

then I discovered that it doesn't have the goofy campiness of re4 and I don't like the sound of that one bit!!

I remember my sister and I loved Maniac Mansion as kids. I'll probably find it outrageously creepy now that I know what adult baby diaper lovers are because of Turner the giant baby.

It wasn't until years later when I discovered it used to be a video game. I think I read it in Nintendo Power #100 where the NES version was on the TOP ONE HUNDRED GAMES EVER list

Playing through Twilight Princess again got me thinking. Are there any "Zelda clones" out there? Metroidvanias are kind of a dime-a-dozen these days so I'm wondering if anything really captures that ol' Zelda formula in the same way.

All I can think of is Okami and Darksiders.

In the same way that Rogue Legacy is a Metroidvania? No thanks...

I guess Wonderboy 6 / Monster World 4 counts as a Zelda 2 clone but I wasn't going in that direction.

Oh it does, don't get me wrong! I just foolishly went into it not expecting any roguelike mechanics. I actually thought it was a Castlevania clone because I was too dumb to read a single word about it before playing.

Once I got the hang of it I started to like it more.

Beyond Good & Evil.

Another game I meant to play but hadn't yet. Once again I thank you goons for the great videogame recommendations! I was under the impression BG&E was more akin to Spyro or B-K than Zelda though.

And I'm sorry, posters from two threads ago that told me to not give Ubisoft money, but I swear BG&E will be my last purchase.

Also thanks everyone for not suggesting Star Fox Adventures

The only 360 games I care about are basically Banjo Kazooie/tooie, perfect dark, and re4 at this point. First three are covered on the rare collection and re4 will probably be ported to the bone anyway like it was with every other system on earth so I'm content not playing it again
