Can anyone recommend me a setup for best strafes?

Malen how do you Strafe like on SJ etc.?

The megaman zero games for the DS are difficult but really fun, and cool to boot.

Dude, if you like watercolor art in games you really ought to check out SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered. Tomomi Kobayashi really needs more of the love that Yoshitaka Amano used to get.

I feel gba is slept on a lot. I just got into mario kart super circuit, one of my new favorites in the series. I should explore the system's library a bit more, but I'm well aware of how much shovelware there is to sift through, that and snes ports.

The GBA was one of the system that made me fall in love with vidya games. When I play games from the system now it still has it magic for me. Retro GBA games are must play in my opinion.

Metal Slug Advance for the gba is addicting as fuck and both looks and performs pretty great. I'm a dumbass so i keep fucking myself over but there's no way i can put it down, i gotta make it to the end this time.

>>1221
this but throw in some thinly veiled fetish content like doing a quick time event to escape the monster who'll spank you to death

>>1222
So basically Higurashi Rei as well, but not as lighthearted?

>>1223
Yeah but lets throw in that the main character had a girlfriend much to the dissaproval of the town and her parents, and an ex of the girlfriend character who is a male, beats the girlfriend to death with specifically a baseball bat which kicks off the story. Also you can look at the player characters panties.

>>1220
yeah and I'm really excited about it, since I love silent hill as well as japanese history and religion which this seems to be heavily involved with, but I'm still gonna be mad about silent hills being cancelled until I die lol

>>1230
Did you ever see the P.T aka silent hill easter egg in metal gear solid the phantom pain?

It seems like Notch would like to make a game in general, so it may not be Minecraft per se, but if he manages to make something like Minecraft in this day and, age I'd be amazed.

1.7.10 has the best and most comfiest mods. Millenaire, Witchery, Minefantasy2, and the LOTR mod are all great, I don't need anything else. I thought about learning Java just to make more mods for 1.7.10 and fix up mods I already like.

I like the Create mod. Factories are such lovely things to build and there are some really powerful options for building like the hose pulley, Wand of Symmetry, and jetpacks (from an addon)
>>1113
He better stop calling it Minecraft 2 if he wants the game to be good. I know he was working on a voxel-based fps set in space that eventually turned into Minecraft, maybe it'll be something to do with that idea

I always thought the cave update was cool, besides the warden boss. Having undergound biomes is a neat idea.

I feel like thats funny because usually as a series grows, sometimes the later games usually are shit.

I finished Thunder Force III. It's a lot easier than the previous game. In fact, this may be the easiest shmup I've ever played. I had to record a whole level for the webm because the bosses all go down in seconds.
Still, I think this game is generally superior to Thunder Force II. Taking away the top-view levels keeps things focused and coherent, and the level design feels more intentional. Again, it leans into the variety of weapons as the main strategic element.
The graphics are greatly improved, not only with better sprites, but also some cool parallax effects and foreground elements, among other things. Likewise, the soundtrack has more nuance and longer loops.
As well-made as it is, this game is easy to recommend, especially for beginners. It might warrant a replay on a higher difficulty eventually, but first I'll move on to Thunder Force IV.

The emulation on the xbox systems, for it's "backwards compatibility" is unreliable, and in many cases has major glitches or bugs that'll make your game damn near unplayable, such as getting the black screen of death or getting your game frozen. Even now in the current year i'll be playing morrowind on the new xbox series x, and although the graphics are cleaned up, the trade off is unstable gameplay where opening up a tab too quick might fuck up the game. Hell, the game might say "fuck you" and quit anyway.
A direct reminder
>Supported Original Xbox and 360 games will run within an emulator and have access to certain Xbox One features, such as recording and broadcasting gameplay. Games do not run directly from discs. A repackaged form of the game is downloaded automatically when a supported game is inserted, while digitally-purchased games will automatically appear for download in the user's library once available. As with Xbox One titles, if the game is installed using physical media, the disc is still required for validation purposes.
Your system requires wifi to download the game from the store, the system CANNOT read the files from the disk. This is the same with people who own an xbox 360, internet is required (also a new hard drive) to access your original xbox games. Most of the problems actually availible on the 360 emulator for original xbox games have not been patched so if you get the black screen of death its microsoft being fuckers and not you or your systems.
Here's another unpatched bug from peacewalker, on the xbox series x, in the year of our lord 2023
Was playing the secret monster hunter level, and while i was fighting a monster he launched a fireball that gave the game INCREDIBLE LAGto the point where the game crashed and refused to open for a very long while.
Playstation, has NATIVE backwards compatibility. It has the chip that can actually read whatever disc depending on the system. As an example, the ps2 can play ps1 games natively, an earlier version of the ps3 can play ps, and ps2 games. Ps4 cannot play ps3 games. ps5 CAN play ps4 games natively, without emulation. There are problems, games might get bugs that cannot be patched, maybe issues with AA and some games not being playable.
This is a fair warning for those interested in investing in a new console and thinking you can somehow enjoy your older games on newer systems without a hitch.

With that out of the way, how are GB/GBA games handling with emulators? I'm assuming that there might be problems with certian games that use the internal clock as an example like pokemon.

I used to use CDRomance a lot before it went down a while back, and am disappointed to find out that it needs login to use now.
Also what's up with emuparadise. Every one of its links seem to no longer work.

I've been using edge emulation and it's sister site but it seems it's down for now.
This is unrelated, but does anyone know if there's a good dump for the Addams Family game on PC Engine CD? mine looks like this

Spyro the dragon is something else. I might be biased because i grew up with games that had shitty low poly graphics but even now it looks, plays and sounds good. I remember playing spyro when i was 5 at a friends house and the crash bandicoot racing game. But spyro still hits me like a ton of bricks when ever i remember it. I was playing spyro remastered recently and its great don't get me wrong, it doesn't beat the original.

Playing games on the bionicle website was fun, two of the games gave you FREE music like from paramore, and a dutch band called cryoshell, the ones i'm most nostalgic for was the mata nui online games, the music for one thing was incredible, the visuals was nice because you can finally see what it looked like in the books, and i love the gameplay, classic point and click with fun minigames. I remember one that was basically soccer and it was fun as heck.

>>1126
One sad thing to see was they stopped selling Bionicles. I remember my family looking for bionicles and finding out they were discontinued at Legoworld.

>>1127
It was a sad day indeed. Especially since they rapidly ended the story and the figures got downgraded, and lacked articulation. Terrible sendoff if you asked me.

I was a big Golden Sun fan.
That said, I was playing N64 with my friends recently and realized how much Smash 64 and Pokemon Stadium I played as a child. I say this because I kept winning.

I haven't played many puzzle games to be fair, but I've enjoyed puzzle 'n desu for the snes. It is a cute game where you have to push colored blocks around to make them appear in a line of three or more which makes them disappear. It also has a timer so you have to think quickly, although with emulators cheating is easy (I didn't). The music is neat, the visuals are pleasant, overall it feels quite nice to play although I've never finished it and recently have lost my saves after a retroarch update.
It is available in japanese only but it's not hard to guess what menu items mean and the story is illustrated.

I don't know if any of you care about columns, but I like the columns III guy more than I actually like any of the games. Good riddance to columns, I say; the games are pretty below average. More games should have this kind of retarded marketing where a random man is farting around on the cover.

lol do you have a link to that

If you were a real gamer you'd be able to imagine the story as you go. The selfless I block. The treacherous Z and S blocks, only playing nice with their own kind. The diplomatic T. The stalwart O block, unwilling to compromise its principles for anything... they are all characters as vivid as anything from Lord of the Rings and familiar as friends to me.

the tetris blocks all have names and personalities too.

something i don't understand about dragon quest 9 is the price of goods, like holy shit why is everything overpriced? there's no way in hell i can catch up unless i grind for an hour to generate the cash to buy my crew the latest gear.
>>1110
how is the story of dragon quest 11? 9 so far is actually working out well, all of the little stories pack an emotional punch for me, recently there was one about a living doll amd a giant spider and it was pretty tragic of a story.

>>1111
I don't understand why i'm so stupid. So there's this place called swinedimples and i got my ass kicked by the boss and i was wondering why the game is so fucking hard, because i thougt it was an easier boss in my memory, so i looked at a guide and he's supposed to be like level 36 meanwhile i'm level 25 and to make matters worse i missed the area i was supposed to find before swinedimples with an easier boss, Batsureg. I don't even know how to reach that place? I feel like zoro from one piece i'm so fucking lost lol.

>>1122
After going through the proper order the swinedimple boss was actually a cakewalk, even though i didn'g level up too much in the prosess. Batsureg also worked out because the ranger class is a glass cannon so you you are stuck with basic bitch gear till late game, and that place also had real ranger gear. Early on the only place that had gear you can use was at port laffian and by that time your level 10 so basically your stuck with level 10 gear untill you reach level 30. The vanish ability is nice during a boss battle because i basically can snipe, and i have the bonus of all the cool ranger spells and buffs to use in battle, and it made time fly faster then the previous time i played dragon quest as a martial artist.

The cockney slang in dragon quest nine is starting to piss me off. I think it's the localization, but it's just grating to read because sometimes it becomes gibberish like some parts of dark souls, like when you meet the talking cat.
Also it's weird that at first a boss battle is fucking hard but after the second try it ends up being a cakewalk? The hog guy whos name i forgot wiped out my team one by one on the first try and after painfully griding for an hour to reach level 32 i go back and the battle was fine? I think i used the same strategy of vanishing then buffing the shit out of my team mates, so i don't understand what changed at all.
Also i like the fake out where you get power ranger armor and you think your gonna do a cool boss battle and watch a killer animation sequence only to get arrested seconds later.

So i think i made it to the point where the game is damn near over in IX
The last boss battle i fought was against Godwyn, who was a bitch to beat the last time, mainly because he's a nigger who removes any buffs and status effects placed on my team and his (at the time) unexpected SECOND BOSS FIGHT took me off guard. This time i faired slightly better, my team mates died twice but other then that it was basically me just throwing random shit just to see what works. Now the royal pain in my ass will be corvis, the problem with that faggot is that he's a fucking TRIPLE BOSS FIGHT. I'm like level 30 something and i was thinking at this point i'll focus on reaching fucking 50 and maybe grind for gear and weapons. Sucks bit hey, the game is nearly fucking over.
