The bad ending shows a Taoist priest about to kill you. supposedly this was never made because the marketing people said it wouldn't sell because they didn't have a recognizable character they could put on the cover

What's extra crazy about ffxiv is it completely shut down and apologized before coming back.

It’s still pretty amazing to me how committed they were to making it work Resident Evil 4 went through a few iterations I think. You can see footage of one that had the old camera system and tank controls that seemed more like supernatural horror. Yeah Dead Sun looked bad but I would have played it anyway. No way they could have kept going with Kain-Raziel stuff after Tony Jay died

SNES Sim City was fun back before the internet, but once Gamefaqs unraveled how it actually worked, it kind of lost its appeal, unfortunately

Uncle at Nintendo posted:I heard it's actually impossible to get a megaopolis or whatever due to some glitch. It's not impossible but you have to have to play really, really weirdly, like building a bunch of stuff and then immediately bulldozing it. That era's Sim games required you to know weird stuff like Actraiser's "Make sure you build as few paths that create bridges as possible because for some reason, bridges keep you from reaching max population."

The weird bulldozing stuff is only necessary for super high populations (1 million+). You do need to build a certain way to get the 500k for megalopolis though. The bug uncle at nintendo is talking about happens when you load a save: electric connections get loaded last so the game runs for several minutes with no power causing a bunch of people to leave temporarily.

yeah the snes sim city soundtrack is easily up there as one of my favorites. the first village theme right from the get-go is the best I read the woman who composed it said she made different soundtracks for each different version of the game which amazed me because I figured why compose more than you have to; she's a genius and also did the SNES mario kart music My other favorite snes sim city thing is when people figured out a god-mode code 20 years after it came out: https://forum.starmen.net/forum/General/BFG/Crazy-Glitched-Sim-City-Cart/first it's a really fun thread to read and is only like 2 pages but if you want the jist of it; this guy buys a used SNES sim city that had some never-before-known god mode enabled in the game (even when starting a fresh new save file), presumably from one of the programmers of the game. People in the thread figure out what the code is from his ROM/SRAM

sim city is already in god mod. you can create buildings from nothing, make parks rise out of the land, or hurl natural disasters at your cities, even up to a big bowse3r attack.... as long as you don;t cut back on funding.

The fact that no one has made an Actraiser-style game in 28+ years now is pretty amazing given how awesome the game is and how many people love it. I read an interview somewhere that said the suggestion to make Actraiser 2 a side-scrolling only game came from a higher-up in the American branch of Enix at the time and in retrospect he now knows it was a completely terrible idea. I respect that he knows he made a mistake, but he should probably be castrated as well as an appropriate punishment because Actraiser 2 blows.

actraiser 2 definitely sucks and the real sequel to actraiser is Soul Blazer IMO. i'm not really sure what the spiritual successor is to what actraiser was trying to do, though. minecraft? the town builder in fallout 4? spore? none of those feel like they're the same thing, really.

I guess Dragon Quest Builders is the closest thing, basically Minecrafting the formula a bit, but it still has the mechanics of talking to the townsfolks and trying to build stuff up to improve the city. Still not quite Actraiser. I'm not even sure why the Actraiser SIM parts are so fun, there's literally no stakes and you can't die in it. Maybe that's why it's fun, you just get to dick around, shoot demons with arrows, and help our your followers. Then you can create earthquakes and kill them all to level up more efficiently.

Bicyclops posted:actraiser 2 definitely sucks and the real sequel to actraiser is Soul Blazer IMO. dark cloud is pretty close, that's not really a modern example at this point tho. There's lots of rpgs with various townbuilding mechanics built in to varying levels, but none with the actiony arcadey take that actraiser had that i can think of.

This thread made me go back and try Actraiser for the first time (I'd obviously been aware of it but never actually played it and Soul Blazer is one of my favorite SNES era games) and holy poo poo what a wonderfully weird hosed up game. I'm surprised the formula hasn't been brought back by some indie steam workshop 90s kid.

Illusion of Gaia is basically a sequel to Soul Blazer and Terranigma is basically a sequel to IoG. Illusion owns, but I'm saving Terranigma, it's like that book you keep on the shelf "for a rainy day"
