gaming side is dead because gaming is dead
Gaming sucks these days. :yeshrug
Mainly I found myself playing old games recently also. Then I forgot to post about them in the what have you been playing thread. Like I'm playing Chronotrigger and Dust an Elysian tale at the moment.
Gaming side has slowed down but honestly I also don't think a lot of great single player games have come out recently. Doom was popular but outside of that I've been spending all my time with multiplayer games and there is not really a lot to post about when it comes to that. Still enjoying overwatch. Still enjoying Rainbow Six siege, etc.

If you're a Nintendo fan. :teehee

zomg i am playing Chrono Trigger too let's chat
i got the ds version so i can finally see the shitty new content they added in. i hope to God it's not as padded out as the bonus Final Fantasy content Tose did. that shit was horrible. otherwise it's still a great game. now that I've played most of the Dragon Quest games i can really see the influence in CT, most notably in the fast-paced scenario design. which, not coincidentally, was the biggest thing missing in Chrono Cross and the main reason that game sucked.
Me and demi play Vita games and discuss their merits amongst each other.
Play better games then we'll talk.
But are you drinking Natty Ice?
but yeah like most of yall I'm playing older shit. panzer dragoon saga, blue dragon, chrono trigger, and asura's Wrath atm
next two months are gonna be crazy when i get dragon Quest 7, final Fantasy 15, dragon Quest builders, and world of final fantasy

I'm playing the DS version also just via emulation. I'm still relatively early.
Is this your first time playing CT, Stoney? I'm wondering what you'll end up thinking since iirc it's different from the usual for ya.

im kind of bummed i never had a snes, why did i prefer to get a mega drive again?
The Genesis was great. The SNES and Genesis are on the same level in my book, I prefer the Genesis.
Super Metroid is the best game on either, though.
Sports games were huge, I think.
Then there's Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Gunstar Heroes, Mortal Kombat 2 (with blood), and uh... I was never a Sega guy.
There's not a lot of talk about Genesis games that aren't Sonic when it comes to a lot of the retro youtube sectors since a lot of them are born and bred Nintendo fans that grew up on that. Isn't much of an issue since a lot of them were NES kids first so I get it.
I really think you should dig into some of the Genesis library, Andy-kun. You might find a lot you like.

Honest question, because I don't know: what did the Genesis have aside from Sonic?
Genesis just wasnt a weeb showcase. Theres not much to be had in that library.
I pretty much stopped playing games ages ago. I haven't even played Pokemon Go in well over a week.I'm more hyped about the mini NES than the playstation VR that I have on pre-order :lol
Not sure what, if anything, will get me to play games again. I will still probably buy that mini NES that is coming out on the Fall :-\
I play a lot of the same shit these days, nothing to contribute from my side.
But hey, this thread got plenty of responses. Seems like people are just waiting for something to talk about.

Well, for me 2016 is a big gaming year since I'm playing Persona 5 in a month ;)

The Hard Corps soundtrack. :lawd

Real Talk: Contra: Hard Corps is one of the best games on the system. Even though it's (IMO) Nintendo Hard. I think I only "beat" it once and it was with the secret Time Warp ending. The later stages get pretty tough.One of the games I want to really give a shot. The soundtrack is sick.
Goddamn that shit is fire.The Hard Corps soundtrack. :lawd
Everything gets turnt up on Genesis
Great track

The later stages get pretty tough.In the Japanese version you can take a couple of hits before you die. Makes learning it much easier. I still didn't get very far, mind, but I didn't try for very long.
Man, SEGA from like the mid 80's to right before the Sammy acquisition was sooooooo fire. I miss the shit out of that Sega. Now it's all terrible Sonic games, Yakuza games that take too long to localize even if they get localized, and slew of bad decisions. I get why business wise, but still disappointed by it.From what I recalled, Sega of America(?) got a new boss and they stated they want to take things seriously again and focus on quality. So after Sonic Mania, they seem to be listening to their fans a little more. Even letting Shenmue III being a thing seems like a nice thing to do for their fans as well.
The dumb fanboy in me creeped back out when they were publishing Platinum Games thinking this was the start of silver age, didn't realize they didn't own Platinum and then their small moment of taking risks stopped very quickly. Aside from the Platinum games and Binary Domain, what has Sega done lately that's worth noting?
my pc runs both snes n megadrive emulators for free. leave the comparative essays in 1996 imo
Yeah i don't think we, (at least not me) were trying to argue one is necessarily better than the other. I prefer strictly different vs. strictly better, i love the Genesis for it's idiosyncrasies and certain games. I don't have any solid opin about multiplat quality because I was too young to care much, though I remember really liking my friends SNES because SSF2 sounded so good (really obviously better) and the RPGs were so slick. I never had any of the Genesis RPGs, and haven't played them to this day.
no, I think a high effort argument for why one console is categorically better than another is probably better served on gaf tbh.my pc runs both snes n megadrive emulators for free. leave the comparative essays in 1996 imo
But I thought the bore was supposed to be a better game discusso than neogaf?

I owned both since I was a kid and after going back I do still like the Genesis better. Doesn't really matter, as both are excellent.
If you're interested in Genesis RPGS, play Wonder Boy in Monster World, Monster World IV, Phantasy Star IV, and Shining Force I+II. Every thing else is honestly not required. PSII has aged like milk and has a superior PS2 remake. Crusader of Centy is pretty ok for a Zelda-like but it's nothing compared to something like Alundra, Landstalker sucks, and Beyond Oasis isn't too special.
guys it's ok to admit snes is better. Sega lost the war. we don't have to pretend anymore.
Yep, Alundra is a fantastic game. I still need to play the much less popular sequel some day.
isometric arpg with a dpad doesn't work lyte and you know that fucking shit so hard
don't be a weebo purist - the English version of Alundra is great. wd only altered the platforming in a few seconds, iirc to make the penalty for failure less tedious, and they upped boss attack damage while lowering their hp to make fights faster but harder. it plays great and outside of their random corny jokes and some overdone accents, the translation is great of course. play that shit
