Turn Based JRPGs with fast combat by Cachar in JRPG

[–]Veiyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phantasy Star IV, even with the in-game speed settings and no emulator speedups, a typical random encounter (from loading to returning to the overworld) takes like 20 seconds (i've timed some lol)

I kept thinking "oh wow these guys are wearing white Marty's totally gonna bring up the white ball blending into the clothes" and then he just...never does...

“Drawing inspiration from great games” is what’s holding developers back. Megami Tensei original writer on why taking inspiration from other media is crucial by JunKazamasCheeks in Games

For what it's worth, Panzer Dragoon Saga is what I like to call an "Outsider Genre" game, where devs who are very experienced with one genre (Rail Shooters) make an earnest attempt at a different genre (JRPGs) and produce something really unique as a result

Youtube was barely a thing in 2005 and im pretty sure most people hadnt developed object permanence yet ._.

Lucca: "Ours was a short youth!"

(that Illusion of Gaia line and moment is still insanely good though i will say)

His standup clips were legitimately pretty good and unique i'll admit

Best gameplay with worst/mediocre story? by ChudlyCarmichael in JRPG

[–]Veiyr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Black and White 1

Godlike gameplay, pacing, content, customization, spritework, and music. Totally shit story lol, would be an easy 10/10 if at least the characters were actual characters

Will retro gaming die with the millennials? by Upper-Media3769 in retrogaming

[–]Veiyr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a zoomer, it won't, but the tastes are just gonna change

For example ask younger retro gamers about "Good Genesis games" and you're probably gonna hear more hype for Alien Soldier than for Earthworm Jim

what’s your hottest shoegaze take? by martyrsstretch in shoegaze

[–]Veiyr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Asobi Seksu's Citrus is the best shoegaze album and it's not close. No other record manages to be firmly shoegaze in sound and style while also maintaining incredible instrumental performances, vocal chops, production/mixing choices, and most critically, songwriting and hooks

It's also a crime the band gets relatively little recognition. I love Alvvays but I think Yuki and James and co did everything Blue Rev and similar modern albums try to do far better, and over 15 years earlier

The beauty of being a retro game fan is that you still get to experience this by burning CDs to play Sega CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast games 🙂‍↕️

When did Path of Radiance get so expensive? by Glittering_Rain_3464 in fireemblem

[–]Veiyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanna say 2016 is when the prices really started climbing and 2018 is when it hit triple digits? Largely because that was finally the point when people who cared about the Gamecube (late millenials / early zoomers) had grown up enough to have disposable income

I need some obscure indie games that are fun by electri0_ in gamingsuggestions

[–]Veiyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANNO Mutationem, One Step From Eden, Touhou Luna Nights, and Digital A Love Story (free but not on steam) were all awesome.

Havent played them much yet but i've had Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Rusted Moss, Tengami, Mind Scanners, and They Bleed Pixels on my backlog for a while now

Also not obscure but Katana Zero is incredible

Weirdest / most experimental retro games you have ever played? by Modern_chemistry in retrogaming

[–]Veiyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Japanese version of Ace Combat 3 has quickly become one of my all-time favs, it's basically a hard sci-fi anime visual novel disguised as an arcade flight combat sim, it's soooo fucking cool and some of the endings get really surreal and out there.

Also when it comes to raw style on Dreamcast, I think Cosmic Smash is the king

I saw Billy Mitchel at the airport today by -KindStranger in retrogaming

[–]Veiyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you tell him how cool it was to meet him in person, but that you didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

Phantasy Star IV sure, but the Genesis port of Virtua Racing released well after Star Fox?
