i don't know anything about star citizen other than it's probably never going to be fully completed and you spend a lot of money on virtual spaceships

Derek Smart posts in the Star Citizen thread, which I find absurdly amusing.

Yeah I'd never buy any retro stuff from Gamestop but I'm interested in seeing it there as a morbid curiosity. Definitely going to play Earthbound out of respect to Mr. Iwata. Hopefully I can get past Fourside this time. Would also like to play some Mother 3, which I got a lot farther in (I got to some point in Chapter 6 I think it was). Also I think it is the funniest loving thing in the god drat universe that Derek Smart of all people is leading the charge against Star Citizen. A terrible part of me wishes he ends up getting a successful suit just so I can die laughing.

Motto posted:in any decent sized town there'll be some game/general media store that has a bunch of old videogame stuff oh ok just independants i guess then? to be fair i dont even know if thats true over here cos the only chain has been shutting stores and dont have any near me anymore, but the local shop has absolutely everything. massive selection of mega drive and dreamcast games actually. there were two used dreamcasts in there a couple of weeks ago, and when i went in last week one had gone the other one is looking v tempting tome.

I have a nerd store in my area but they price their games pretty high too. They charged $30 for Suikoden 3 when it went for less on PSN. They had games like PS2 Wizardry and PS2 King's Field though which was interestingAnatharon posted:So apparently star citizen actually became a real game? i don't care if it's bad or good or whatever, but is that a true statement or is it just technically functional in a loose defintion of the term 'game'

Eye of Widesauron posted:Use Killapps Fallout 2 Restoration Patch I'll try that next time. I don't want to nerd it up too much but I thought the game did a really good job of conveying its theme of power struggles on the micro and macro scale. Factions struggling for control of tiny towns, big cities trying to gain control of the larger area, and ultimately, facing a group that wants to control everything and represents the various biggest powers in the present day, carried forward as an isolated group into this post-apocalypse fiction.

It's thanks to the nerd store though that I have obscure rear end games like Legaia 2. So at least there's that. BUT NO SHADOW HEARTS

BUT NO SHADOW HEARTS Even back when Gamestop was selling PS2 games, Shadow Hearts was a title that was kind of a pain to get a hold of. I remember I had to go into a Gamestop that had a stairway leading down to it because the store was located under street level. And I walked into a big spider web, and that remains to this day the only time I've walked into a big spider web while going to the store. It was one of Midway's few published RPGs. But you know what Robot Alchemic Drive is probably even more of a pain to get a complete copy of now. Meanwhile poo poo like Jade Cocoon 2, Grandia 2 and 3, Dragon Quarter, Radiata Stories, and many other JRPGs can be gotten for dirt cheap.

If you're buying a used game then why not just emulate/ it since the developers aren't going to make any money off of your purchase anyways and 99% of the time an emulator will give you the superior experience.

Shadow Hearts 1 being a preorder bonus for 2 really helped circulate more copies. I picked 1 at a local Gamestop a few years ago. I'm glad of I've got copies of all 3 and Koudelka, though the latter is getting a PC emulation port soon.

The PS2 has poo poo that people don't even realize was released for it. Like Both Space Channel 5 games were released on the PS2 in America under a single compilation. Or Falling Stars which has art direction that will make your eyes bleed.

Accordion Man posted:Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe too. I remember getting those for nothing because they were all freebees when gamestop was liquidating their PS2 poo poo. Vietiful Joe 2 was also going for like 99 cents or some insane price because everything was 90% off and it was Buy one Get One Free. King's Field 4 was $2.50

Those were both originally Gamecube games and work way better on it, the load times for the PS2 version of Killer7 were awful.

when i was a teenager i used to think about how cool it would be to have the actual arcade cabinet for TMNT 2 or the Simpsons Arcade Game in my mansion when i got rich, but i think even if i had a mansion, there are probably better ways to play both of those games if i really, really wanted to.

The PS2 had a lot of rad action games that were dragged down by forced stealth/platforming levels that every other game from the era fell victim to. Like Blood Will Tell, a batshit game about a Japanese guy whose limbs and organs were stolen by demons so he has them replaced with prosthetics that have swords and machine guns in them and goes off to fight 48 different boss battles to get them all back. Or Shadow of Rome, which was a sequel to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar play and let you smash people's heads with maces or beat people to death with their own limbs after you cut them off.

For now though I just keep a list open on Amazon and check the Amazon Seller prices. e: I'm hoping the Internet Archive is able to continue to defend their copyright exemption and eventually preserve most console libraries from the past because it's already cool that you can play every Genesis game on there, even though their emulator is not very good

The blowback from the new Rayman IOS game is amazing.  You know all that poo poo you could do for free in Rayman origins and Legends? You know like limitless continues? Everything is charged money now and it apparently made a ton of people angry because there's a ton of land of the livid dead gently caress YOU sections that you need time to memorize. This is probably going to wind up being bigger than Assassin's Creed not working correctly.

Zombies' Downfall posted:Do you have to buy the game? What else did people expect? I don't think you get it, it took me 2 hours of dying before I was able to beat Land of the Livid Dead. For this game nearly every stage had some contrived bullshit to block you to the point where you need the buyable items. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tkepcWyB9U this is land of the livid dead from origins, this is how on the ball you need to be. The IOS game apparently doesn't flow nicely like Legends did and really soured a ton of people who wanted a real third installment.

"That's the kind of thing you say to your boyfriend, when you're kissing him goodbye." Yeah, between this and RUNNING MAN I'm gonna have to finish MG2 after all. Even if Metal Gear 1 and 2 have a ton of issues, they have the best boss names, like SHOT MAKER and DIRTY DUCK.
