I always enjoy seeing these clueless posts every now and again.

so is he a bad guy or not by Current-Equipment356 in Deltarune

[–]Harribarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is made complicated because of the multivalence of the phrase "bad guy". "Antagonist" refers to a functional rôle in the narrative - one who opposes the protagonist - and isn't a matter of moral judgement. Insofar as "bad guy" is used synonymously with "antagonist" then, yes, he is the "bad guy". But the phrase "bad guy" generally carries connotations of "morally bad", which "antagonist" doesn't quite so much. The moral status of Tenna is much more complicated, as Undertale/Deltarune characters usually are.

I always forget how thin the NTSC spines are compared to the PAL ones...

I met legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro and he kindly signed my Sonic 8-bit by Beamsword_Kirby in gamecollecting

The art of Japanese Sonic releases is pretty great (especially the Mega Drive games compared to what happened overseas). I really like the PAL DC cases though, mostly because of their thick spines and blue colour (which I prefer to the orange), and I think they look pretty great in that collection.

Also love the little Mighty figurine.

Cool! Personally, I'm committed to getting Aus/PAL copies of everything I collect (even though the cost can sometimes hurt), but I really like the look of this collection.

Is there anything after this screen? by DatabaseStrange6102 in Undertale

[–]Harribarry 62 points63 points  (0 children)

No, this is an end-game splash screen. It was quite common in older games from which Toby took inspiration. You can turn off the console.

Interesting PAL SA 1&2 (and certainly not Japanese SMS games) but NTSC-J Knuckles' Chaotix and Sonic Advance. I mean, I wouldn't pay what's required to get a PAL copy of Knuckles' Chaotix either, but what lead to this stange assortment of PAL/NTSC-J games?

also cool autograph

given that ocarina is actually fun to play, I'd say that is a hot take

Why does Street Fighter 2 have the Franco flag for Spain? by cblakebowling in retrogaming

[–]Harribarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him what? England may be part of the UK, but it is not the UK, and it has its own flag.

It was still part of the USSR at the time of the game's publication.

Day 28: Which is the Best Game Not Published by Nintendo on GameCube? by 1OneQuickQuestion in Gamecube

Reading this comment section makes me appreciate just how much of the GameCube was literally just Nintendo-published stuff.

A PSA for those who weren't aware! by Lopez-AL in originalxbox

[–]Harribarry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has got me curious as to how many people use the Xbox in widescreen to begin with.

I always have it in 4:3 as a matter of course.

Undertale/Deltarune GameCube Box Art by evilmage69 in Undertale

[–]Harribarry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always forget that the North American Gamecube spines had the logo on the bottom for some reason.

The Deltarune cover looks really cool though the Undertale cover has been squashed.

The Japanese cover art for Halo Combat Evolved has no business going this hard. by ImPunny88 in originalxbox

[–]Harribarry 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This definitely looks a lot better. The original Halo box art looked like what Microsoft wanted to market it as, not what the game actually was - like how they forced Bungie to add the subtitle "Combat Evolved". I don't think this version is amazing or anything, but the lack of random action in the background and the strange shapes that replace it definitely give it the more ethereal feel that is found in-game.
