I love them. Invariably run by low skill faggots, even if they aren't bandwagoners like yours. I get a lot of business from them repairing shit. And get the stuff they consider not worth repairing for free or a buck a box. A lot of people in the business are douchebags, but there are plenty of nice guys. Regardless we're all joined by our mutual detestment of bandwagoning scum.

The games from a given generation usually dip in value for a couple of generations afterward, until nostalgia kicks in and people want to start buying their childhood games again and younger generations get interested and prices go up. That pattern held for 6th and will probably apply to 7th/8th gen.

Like that anon says, it's aesthetics over function. Most men don't care how they stuff looks if no one else will see them. If others will see them, they will make sure it increases their status and not lowers it. A typical masculine male room will look like a map ripped out of an early 3D shooter. A man would not display $8.99 figurines. Imagine how time consuming it would be to clean the dust of all those shelves. Too much stuff.

The Gateway has visible burn in in the center of the screen if you're looking at a solid color because it has this bright yellow "no signal" text that's always displayed as long as the monitor is on, and I think it was used at a school so it probably sat on that screen for hundred of combined hours. The Sony I will take with me to my grave.

Actually all of those didn't have toaster requirements when they came out.
We used to play Quake 3 with graphics cards with vertex lighting at 640x480 and still get like 30-40FPS.
Similar for all the others. They only have toaster reqs for modern toasters really.
Also, getting smooth play in UTK4 even requires maintaining 300FPS to not be jittery... so even if you could get "good framerate", it wasn't enough for great gameplay.

Every single one of those and even Quake 1 also had guides online to tweak out framerate... because you know... if they ran amazing on everyone's toaster when they came out, no one would be doing that and those sites wouldn't exist. But they did and do.

Eh, that's only partially true. Daggerfall runs better than Morrowind, all the DOS ones do.

They are way more powerful so the additional heat isn't that controversial. Lower end cards are still in a comparable range, though.

Lakers Vs Celtics And The NBA Playoffs should've been called Pistons vs Blazers And The NBA Playoffs since the Genesis port was based on the 1990 NBA Finals and neither the Lakers nor the Celtics made it that far.

>>10941037

I'm talking about why the first one's called Lakers Vs Celtics And The NBA Playoffs even though neither team advanced to the Finals when the Genesis port came out in 1990.

So it should've been called Pistons vs Blazers And The NBA Playoffs in retrospect.

Even the halftime screen shows off highlights from either Larry Bird, Reggie Lewis, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Isiah Thomas, Dennis Rodman, James Worthy, Byron Scott, Charles Barkley, Rick Mahorn, Kevin Johnson, Tom Chambers, Clyde Drexler, Kevin Duckworth, David Robinson and Willie Anderson

Too bad you have to play four 12 minute quarters when you play in the playoffs mode, whereas Electronic Arts helped make it to where you can adjust period lengths for playoff mode.

Yes I watched THE review and the voice acting was indeed amazing. I wish I had played it but back then it would probably have seemed too boring for me.

I read the manga but it was the continuation of the in game story... Did you play it?

It was the early days of motion cap and they really wanted to show it off, I feel.
>>
>>10942062
I remember hearing the people they motion captured were actual theatre actors, so that might be why. Of course it was a new experience for everyone involved and all that. Something about those over-exaggerated movements just rubs me the wrong way. Not creepy, but on the very edge of that slippery slope of uncanny valley.

jesus.
anywho, it's pretty neat that this game was directed, written, and composed by Hiroki Kikuta, the Mana series composer.
he apparently read a shit ton of classic Weird Fiction before he wrote the script, you can definitely see aspects of Reanimator and other stories in there.
later on the shadow hearts series delved more into cosmic horror, so it's nice that they kept that going.

Agree StarCraft buildings etc can sometimes seem jumbled and too alike, but your image in >>10941726 doesn’t seem much better, those orc huts all start to look indistinct if you get enough of them lumped together.
>>10942567
There’s a difference between boring/braindead and formulaic. I’d argue WC1 and 2 are formulaic but not braindead. They can get boring if you’re just running similar missions for marathon sessions, but keep in mind all these games were made during an era where kids still went outside and took breaks from gaming.

I played Ico and SoTc on PS3 (HD version) while I enjoyed Ico I hated Shadow so much.
the giants were so annoying. they shake a lot and if you fall, you need to spend another 10 minutes of bullshit to get back there but I heard the PS3 is fucked up.
I dropped it at the flying collos (4th one maybe?) because I kept falling easily and it took a long time to climb all that shit and wait for him to fly near me to jump again. shit was unbearable.
is the PS2 version better?

>>10935969
Resident Evil 1 was pretty good
>>
>>10942801
It sounds like to me you have an issue with the games mechanics more so the PS3's version having colossi that shake more. Either version you play it's going to be difficult in the beginning because your stamina is so small. You can either kill the colossi to gain more or find the fruit and lizards on the map to increase it.
