Is this the game where you can play the harmonica and commit a heckin terrorism?

>>305453
No, it's the one where you play a poolshark and then invite your girlfriend to your newspaper covered apartment so you can fuck her.

>>305457
And then cheat on her with your ex boss.

>Arcade titles in general as when emulating them I have infinite credits and it fulfills my childhood fantasy of having credits to get to the end without stressing over money so much. 
I can relate.
When I was a kid, my parents only gave me money for one, maybe two coins, because they thought spending money on arcades was a waste (and looking back at it today, I think they were right)
So as you can imagine, I had to choose how used them carefully and the fun obviously didn't last long, not to mention how many times I had to go back home because the queue in front of the game I wanted to play (usually Street Fighter 2) was endless.
So nowadays having an entire arcade on the palm of my hand with free credits feels surreal to the inner child inside me.
>>305410
> never improve
Do you really think arcade games were hard for the challenge or because the devs simply wanted to nickle and dime customers as much as they could?
Some arcade games were straight up cheating with input reading bullshit (mortal combat) or with unavoidable bullet hell (in vertical shooters).
So, sometimes cheating on the cheating game ends up being the only way to enjoy it.

Excellent work.

How´s the montage for 2006 going?

>>305675
It hasn`t started yet because no footage has been submitted. I kinda figured no anons were interested but I could be wrong.

>>305687
If that´s so. I may contribute with some footage of games like HL2: ep1. I don´t have that much experience recording my own footage. But I like the compilations of the last two years and I want this to continue. I will try to play and record some vidya then.

>>305726
Your contribution will be much appreciated. If you need help with recording footage or rendering just ask, I've done plenty of both. 
<TL;DR
Use OBS Studio to record your screen with sound, optimize for recording (not streaming) in the settings, keep your clips short but high quality, and prefer 720p resolution.

No Anon, we don't need twitter screencaps in our threads, no less if it's just an unrelated porn account running a response through a translator. I can barely tolerate them when it's relevant to the industry as it is.

Also the demo had some nice levels. I remember ONS-Torlan entirely too well.

What the fuck is so good about that game? That series is trash.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri - I only wish I'd gone in wholly blind instead of having been spoiled on it.
Deep Rock Galactic sucks, but I'd love to relive the feelings I had when I was first getting into it - there was magic in it, playing a dark cave-crawling game in the dead of night and having my whole desk light up when I shot a flare or repaired a crate.
Rebuild 2 felt fucking magnificent when it was new, especially before you figured out any cheese strats or the exact routes to the extra endings, and I would love to fell that way again - the third was bad enough to be dismissed entirely.
I was going to say the Cuboy games, but it's actually been so long since I played those that I could probably go back and play them with no memory of the jokes.

Any sort of character progression, even optional progression, where the only way to git gud is to know esoteric rituals that the player has no way of knowing without a guide. Or without beating their head against the wall of trial of error.

I hate moving my left hand off my keyboard to reach all the way to numbers past 5 to use those hotkeys, then I wouldn't have to resort to the mouse's scroll wheel to select shit. Why can't any game past the original Neverwinter Nights do their hotkeys in the way where you push a button that reveals multiple rows of hotkeys.

Bad news, seems like my cat's vomit soldering job didn't last.
LED wouldn't turn on after being plugged in and turned on/off a few times.
I remember the LED staying off for a few months after he vomited on it and then returning in the form of colors of the months (I recall it being purple all the time before that), I think that was caused by it being plugged in during a power outage.

But I really don't feel like leaving it plugged in for months to get that to happen again. It's not jail broken and everything I'm playing is on other devices. I could just use it as a blu-ray player though...

>>305089
Yeah, 2 orange cats that were the sons of a stray who had 2 females following him. He got both of them pregnant at the same time and as a result our backyard suddenly had 16 kittens one day. We sent the rest to a local no-kill shelter after fostering them for a few weeks. The stray himself wandered off somewhere else, probably fucking more in another neighborhood.

Actually the real problem is that the 2D Fallout are fundamentally broken dogshit games with bad controls, bad UI, and bad character progression systems.  The awfulness of the bad controls get especially magnified if you try to turn it into a multiplayer experience, but it's not like they weren't fucking shit to begin with.

>>304939
I think the best combination would be doing a cooperative game, like, for 2-5 players or so, this way you can play with friends, the game is still a offline game that could be player forever, and instead of having hundreds of players simultaneously, you can make small group of people enjoy the game through the years. As an example of this genre, could be something like divinity original sin 2 with several friends, is a coop RPG. Or maybe you can do the Phantasy Star Online approach and have that structure of singleplayer/coop game but with the MMO element for some reason.
>>304940
This.

>>304939
>At this point, just make a full conversion mod and get it over with, so that at least people can enjoy the game years from now(and mod it too, if need be). 
Reminds me of a kinda offtopic question in a similar vein, but this is the most relevant thread to ask I guess.

Why is there a sprawling mod scene for F1/2/Tactics that's made a billion TC campaigns, other content mods, and bugfixes built on autistic knowledge of the games and their engines for decades, but NO FULL ENGINE RECREATION.

Every other autism town bicycle game's playerbase like X-Com, HoMM3, Morrowind, RA2, TA, switched away from the retail engine long ago. Even other Interplay RPGs like the much more complex BG & ToEE.

This list shows a half dozen abortive attempts:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engine_recreations
Multiple groups independently created complete games like FoOl, but nobody has bothered with something capable of playing the original games' assets on a modern environment.

So yeah, if I want to play the OGs, I have to slap em in WINE and chainload a heap of .exe patches like it's the '90s.

The same question haunts me even moreso about Minecraft. I'm sure the cumulative effort that's gone into writing and

>>304939
>>304940
I disagree, the biggest strength of these games is their world, writing, immersion and mechanics. All four are hurt when an online element is introduced, might as well make the game single player first and foremost but run some sort of online mode on the side if you really care that much. These games are too niche to have a community required to truly take advantage of the concept, Fallout 76 tried and failed, at best you got a nice little PVE session and if you want that, just play Killing Floor or some other online game specifically designed for this sort of thing. 

>>304949
The closest thing I know to what you're talking about is Et Tu project, which ported over Fallout 1 into Fallout 2 engine, which brought over a ton of advancements. Otherwise, I think the games are simply too fragile to be ported over into a brand new engine, best one can hope for is that they will be ported over into either NV or F4 3D engines or maybe something like Unity so we can have a 3D isometric Fallout experience ala Van Buren/ATOM RPG/Wasteland 2 and 3.

>>304949
I may have spoken too soon. Looking more closely at Community Edition, its ports might be a lot closer to playability than when last I checked, even if the last Git commit is from over a year ago.

Even if a playthrough shows that to be the case, LOL that a brute force decompile was even necessary for such a thoroughly modded game.
