Private Cumshoe posted:Its appeal was being an NES game where the 2 player aspect wasn't just the 1 player aspect with it keeping track of you taking turns Castlevania was significantly better than Vampire Killer, though that’s maybe stretching the definition of “port” a bit.

Private Cumshoe posted:Curious though, were there really any NES games with arcade counterparts that weren't dumbed down or crappier? I suppose there's the basic stuff like Donkey Kong and Bubble Bobble that was kind of the same but anything more complex than that seemed like it was always a shitshow in some respect Castlevania, Contra, and Rampart come to mind.

The thing I really dislike about the TMNT arcade game is that it feels like your attacks aren't actually hitting the enemies so much as passing through them. Like you combo an enemy and he does a stunned animation but there's just no impact to it

I feel I’ve maybe said this before, but my happiest NES memory is playing Battletoads at my friend’s house. Unless we were REALLY bored, we didn’t play it as intended though. Instead, we’d go a screen or two into the first level - whichever one had a little hill you could jump up on and a spawn that would drop what we just called “the stick.” There we held pvp duels against one another with increasingly elabourate house rules about what tactics were or weren’t “cheap” and therefore illegal to perform (unless you were losing and wanted to be a little poo poo BEN.) For hours and hours and hours. I guess my potentially unpopular opinion is that it was way more fun to play that way. Also I always insisted on being the yellow toad.

In Fallout 4 (with the robot DLC) you can have a pet (robot) that you can name Puppe following you around and helping you steal things, just like in Nethack. Ergo, Fallout 4 is a Rogue-like.

After playing wasteland 3 from like 6ish to 2:30 in the morning, it turns out Wasteland 3 is pretty drat great and that reviewer is on crack. I have no idea why that reviewer had problems with the stat system, why he thought the game was hard, or why he somehow thought Gears Tactics is better than Wasteland 3.

He thought the game was hard because he didn't understand any of the mechanics (or stop and take the time to read about them, I guess?) like he admits having no idea how armor or the action economy worked. I haven't played Wasteland but if I had no idea about that stuff I'd look at the in-game help in or search online before resorting to "I have to turn the difficulty down because I have no idea how to defeat armored enemies and don't understand why they're shooting twice as many times per turn", or at least before writing the article. Also for some reason the author appears to be terrified of friendly fire in a turn-based game where you control all the units on your team and decide exactly when they do and do not fire.

I'm gonna guess the good NES arcade ports could be more called remakes, since especially back then the big thing with arcade games was that their specialised hardware meant they could be optimised around the game, as well as having less limitations generally with hardware and content. It's gone from annoying to pathetic to laffo that 30+ years later and I think some Japanese devs are still only begrudgingly making games for consoles rather than arcades.

Back in the day only "RPG" people reviewed "RPG" games because otherwise they'd all have gotten really bad scores. (That's not an opinion, just relevant to the dude not liking Wasteland 3.)

the asterix arcade beat em up owns and still rules. i think beat em ups, like shmups, are a genre that relies heavily on things like sound effects and graphics and that game does those really well

The first arcade-perfect ports didn’t start happening until 1999 with the Dreamcast because of the huge gulf between home console hardware and arcades. I remember people losing their poo poo over MvC2 and Hydro Thunder when those came out.

Let's talk about the new battle toads. Why do I need three button combinations for "eat bug with tongue" "eat enemy with tongue" and "grab tire with tongue"? Why is the startup and failure animation the same for all three of these moves?

I absolutely adored the alien vs predator side scrolling beat em up, but I could well believe it was bad. What about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs? There were so many arcade beat em ups that seemed like the coolest poo poo ever, but I can totally believe what made them good was how tense losing your 50p was.
