Meltdown is always my first pick, she's a killing machine in 1.13 and the more granular AP benefits her massively.
Bull is the second pick, being a pugilist with a ridiculous strength score means he can put Deidranna's goons into a coma and steal their stuff for some earlygame arsenal.
IMP merc is a given, I usually make him a specialist in leadership, explosives, and mechanical work, more like a support than a front-liner.
Fourth is Dr. Q., can't be without a medic, I usually spend a lot on him in advance since he has a habit of leveling up very quickly (and increasing his salary in the process).

Wolf, Fox, Grizzly, Spider and once I get mining going, Raven and Lynx. I call it "The zoo"

Though in practice Spider is the only merc I never pass on, the rest are whatever.

I always bring Buzz and mix it up with random other mercs (1.13 naturally). I have to train her strength up, but I enjoy her insanity.

I love the menu feature that shows you how you could best the bosses if you weren't a scrub

>>11003126
It has been said many times before by more articulated, but the charm of the original Castlevanias is exactly how stiff the controls and movement is, the game is created and balanced around those restrictions.
So if you know your player can only jump on a direction with a clear arc, and has to commit to it, then you can design encounters that magnify the experience.
Every jump you make, every long winded whip attack, you can't take it back, that's why enemies like the medusa or the fleamen burned into people's memories.
It's obviously not for everyone.

Coolest Death fight in the entire series.

>>11004276
>the first CV game pandering to shonen weeb faggots no one OP the faggot thinks it's cool

This shit is precisely why Rondo of Blood is so well regarded.

Surface level opinion after playing the game for 2 mins.

>>11003352
Nah it's fun, very unique combat system, and extremely aesthetical

>>11003406
It may be fun, but it certainly hasn’t “never been done better”. I’d say Soul Calibur pretty well has the crown for 2.5D fighters.

What's with anons coming to /vr/ to bitch about /vr/ systems and games?

DAILY RICK REMENDER that:
nobody cared about that game until 2007

>>11003008
Yeah and the final boss is complete bullshit. Hurr hit my one weak point that's hidden in the hitbox of my moving spikes and just get lucky 8 times.

Somewhat. Sonic 2 still lives in the era of gaming where players were not expected to "complete " a "playthrough" on their first time booting up the game, indeed we never really used such terminology. Instead, the player would begin to play the game knowing that it was full-well impossible to beat the game on their first time playing. This is why games of this era have lives, continues, and scores. One would play the game, as well as they could, for as long as they could, until they inevitably lost all their lives and continues. Score was there as a rough measure of your performance. You would take what you learned from your previous attempts and apply those lessons to future attempts. Essentially, "getting gud". Eventually, if the game is well designed and your persistent enough, you will have practiced your way past a threshold where your skill of the game allows you to "beat" it. Many of these concepts are lost in future gaming, and I don't blame you for not understanding the concept outright.

8-bit sonic 2 is a way better game for short periods of time

>>11003094
>the first time
If it's the first time, you might fail on the first stages. Let's say you fail twice on the first stages. That takes what, 1-2 hour? When you fail the game is over.
That means you can STOP SITTING. Any trial or joke run, you can do that.
>>11003008
Then, if you have more time (even then idk 2-3 hours) and know the game, it takes one sitting, if you dedicate the time to the game, BUT you can pause, so to say accurately it could two sittings. it only isn't supposed to be 10mins like some phone game wtf

Gain ground

Not necessarily lesser known but this game kicks so much ass. It “slaps” as the young people say nowadays.

>>11003005
>lesser known
Why? If anything when I'm having bad times I play games I am familiar with and have nostalgia for, which comfort me.

>>11003005
I'm so lonely bros. I finally had made a close friend but now he's got a girl and always busy. It always comes back to this.

>>11003005

I can only assume companies figure sprites of 1000 buildings take too long to make and are not marketable enough to be worth their time. I would love to see a revival of sprite based city builders but I think outside of some small scale indie games the era is over.

>>11002975
Because the genre peaked with SimCity 4 and either Pharaoh or Zeus depending on your opinion. There's nowhere for it to go.

>>11004545
OP asked for game recommendations, not whine like a girl bitchiness.

>>11004475
yeah, this one's good

>>11003937

I've never used one but according to screenshots the answer is: black backgrounds in places where you wouldn't expect them, and startlingly vivid colors everywhere else.

This may sound like a standard "trash the speccy" post but it is actually the opposite. I think the look of Spectrum graphics (in still shots) is striking and generally pleasant - although the colors-clashing-within-a-tile problem (or whatever it'd best be named) obviously does produce disappointing visual artifacts at times.

The remake will most likely change things and might be based on the butchered Japanese version (I hope not.) Re-Pac was good though, so I'm sure Re-Pac 2 will be at least good in its own right.
GameCube has better draw distance and shortest load times, though some visual effects from the PS2 version are missing.
Can't go wrong with either, but whatever you do stay away from the Xbox and PC versions.

>>11003018
Too many people used to set the things on their 70s shag carpets. Astrocades are usually ok if you set them on a flat surface and make sure the vent holes aren't blocked. Some like to set a laptop cooler under them.

the Astrocade was cool, it had NES sound in 1977 when contemporary consoles were basically PC speaker level

>>11003461
>Modern electrical components are much better designed
also they have clamp diodes for improved ESD protection which they did not in the 80s

These type of thermal failures are usually caused by the die becoming disconnected from the solder pads underneath it as the chip warms up and the package expands which creates an open circuit. Using freeze spray on a suspect chip will often get it working again as the package will shrink from being cooled and reestablish a connection between the die and solder pads. A standard epoxy package isn't super great at conducting heat which is why milspec and other high performance apps use ceramic packages.

after stage 4 it becomes a generic “Simon says” style game where you press the button corresponding with the color of Hercules burps.

>>11003628
The traditional expansive platforming levels the game opens with turn out to be three or so in total, and the rest is just boss levels and run-towards-the-screen gauntlets; it's kind of a disappointment.

I played both games and they were both shit. Toy Story 2 and A Bugs Life are the best Disney platformers.

It's based on the MIPS architecture.

They’re one of the only sites that supply torrents for nearly every ROM/pack, which is generally much faster than direct downloads.

>>11002827
vpforums.org and vpuniverse.com are the two places I've been looking around for vpx tables, roms and guides and the like. To get the emulator running it there are several programs you need so I ended up using this packaged installer: http://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=ballerinsallv2311 but I ended up needing to ignore some of the set up instructions because it needed me to have my portrait monitor in landscape mode and set as my main display in order to get a frontend program working correctly, but since I'm not gonna do that I just run the tables manually with VisualPinballX instead of the frontend. It would be nice if I could get it working without fucking up my desktop because I think it can also launch tables from PinballFX and The Pinball Arcade.
Pic related is from before I figured out how to get it to launch the table in cabinet mode so it'd fill my portrait monitor properly.

I don't really care about pinball but this thread seems potentially interesting

>2d games didnt really get good until ps1
You're right and I'm amazed at how few people get this. Prior to the PSX, DKC2 was the only thing released that basically would stand up to later games in the future. The PSX is a powerhouse of the best 2D games ever made, but nobody sees it like this for whatever reason.

It's like immortality. Surely, you know the concept of immortality.
Someone from 1600 gets the boon of immortality. Now they don't "age" (as in, their cells don't deteriorate from change or w.e.). They live until the present day. It's still an immortal from 1600. Therefore, a "retro immortal".

>>11004715
I don't buy it, the majority of game collectors I see are some low 20s dipshits who don't understand emulation or a similarly aged retard """"investing"""" in game cartridges
