The White Dragon posted:the americana satire was ok in fallout 1 and 2 because it was barely part of the backdrop. you spent all your time in caves and temples shooting at giant bugs, and in shanty citadels breaking the rules and kiting security forces while braining them using your shotgun stock as a warclub. everything afterwards just leans too hard into it, like the loading screens are all kitschy 50s style ads without any of the cultural growth associated with technological growth, and everything feels like the developers masturbating and tittering, look at this city, it's named after a sign and one letter peeled off aren't we clever! please clap the problem with fallout 1 and 2 was the nonstop references that weren't 50s things, it wasn't so much dumb 50s kitsch as dumb 90s kitsch it still wasn't too bad, but it suffers from a lot of typical post-apoc media problems

I typically have no issue with complicated settings, but I found RetroArch to be a convoluted mess to set up, to the point where it feels like it was done intentionally so emulation nerds can feel superior over the fact that they bothered to set it up at all.

one time i was setting up a retropie so naturally I went and downloaded a big .rar of every rom ever and it was loving useless because it had every version of every localization of every game, 20-30 roms of a given gama sometimes. the UI was useless for scrolling through all of it on the pi or figuring out which one I actually wanted to play. i curse the nerd who made that rom pack

Retroarch is the "most comprehensive" emulator but also is the one I hate the most and it's not even really an emulator it's just a frontend for a bunch of disparate emulators. But OpenEMU on MacOS? Holy poo poo that's the right kinda front-end. It's far, far less customizable or whatever than retroarch (and thus retropi) but that's really not a big deal because it's incredibly user-friendly. Launchbox is kind of the middle ground between the two.

pre-10 Final Fantasy games should have had more gimmick fights and dungeons that were more than "here's an introduction to a mechanic you can use". Magnet cave dungeon? awesome idea do more like that. now to get in my time machine

They played Nethack once and then decided to add the magnetic cave. An odd, not great dungeon with a mechanic that was happily never used again!

i got totally wrecked by a savage encounter in Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE and lost a half hour of progress because i was dumb and hadn't saved in a while and....it was weirdly kind of refreshing? like i'm sure that sounds weird as hell but it was kind of a nice feeling knowing that even in a turn based rpg there were encounters outside of bosses that would gently caress me right up if i wasn't paying attention

I don't know if this is unpopular but grid based strategy RPGs are better than free movement ones like Mordheim or Valkria Chronicles.

My RetroPie serves mostly as a museum I stroll through once every couple weeks or so, mostly sticking to the "nostalgia" and "stuff I couldn't play" wings. I can understand why someone who makes perfect emulation or physical game ownership a significant part of their personal life not being satisfied with that, though.

I think there was a video talking about greasing up your armor and a kraken being unable to grab you? And if you don't use a towel to wipe your hands, your greased up hands will drop your weapon or something. It reminded me of the magnetic cave which was just.. a weird addition to FF4. Can't use most equipment now! Kind of!

Greasing your helmet makes it harder for mind flayers to suck your brain out with their tentacles  .Nethack is full of neat little details and hand-made interactions for all sorts of edge cases. If you polymorph into a Rust Monster you can eat metal items, including any magical rings that have been randomly generated to be made of metal this game. But if it turns out to be a ring of slow digestion, you'll fail to eat it and get a message that it's inedible.

With so many games especially JRPGs and AAA blockbusters that are basically set up for you to sleepwalk through them it's nice to be reminded that a game is actually trying to challenge you and not just make you press buttons to turn the page

I don't care for strategy but grid-based movement in adventure games is superior because it's so loving much faster. You can spend forty thousand hours slowly walking around Baldur's Gate alone but you can walk the entirety of a continent in like ten seconds in Dragon Wars.

It would have wrecked the tps part of the tps/tbs hybrid that made it fun. Totally understand the general case though, games that simulate pulling out your measuring tape and calculating how far you can walk/shoot tend to be painful and you can almost never plan out multiple moves in advance.
