The Free Gaming Thread v3: Check Out Cosmyk's Mustache

[BumblebeeCody*]

Sega should make a follow up console with all those features called the SEGA Broadcast




or Xbox One.


Speaking of, GEARS 4 is AWESOME!

The Best Friends played a bit of one of the Corpse Party games and I'm not sure if I liked it or not. Anyone here played them? Would you recommend it?

So I found out the other day that Metroid Zero Mission has the original Metroid on it that unlocks when you get any ending. I decided that I would try to beat it since I fairly enjoyed Metroid II. Man... this game has not aged well. It's stupid hard just because it doesn't want to give you your full health back when you restart the game. You start with 30 Health every time, even if you have all the Energy Tanks. It's also kinda boring, even not rushing to get the best ending, it was just not fun to get through the game. All the other games I put down and wanted to pick them up soon after. The orignal I put down for a few days before feeling like continuing.

This is why I like and at the same time hate playing these games late. I can play these classics that people loved and hold dear and see how they hold up. I just feel like I would have loved this game if I played it back when I was a kid. At lest the other games are fun to play.

Fire Emblem: Conquest just came by and playing it in Beginner on Classic mode. So far, none of my units have yet to die and the only one that did was Gunter for storytelling sake. Don't like that the game introduce beautiful cutscenes and then use this crappy 3d model cutscene for most of the story but that is my only complaint.

The sad thing is, that's truly a game that has aged like milk in terms of it's....idea.

Imagine you're a kid in the 80's, and you get this MASSIVE game. You'd get out a pen and paper and start drawing a map out as you progress, you'd play the game again and again to know exactly where things where, you'd explore this massive area alone in the dark, you'd probably play the game into the night as well.

The game was so huge for the time, that it's honestly amazing to look back and think about it with that mindset. Same with Zelda, drawing a map as you progress sounds really fun if I had the time to do it, and would extend the gameplay because you'd really want to find everything and do everything you can.

These days, we don't have time to make maps when you can find it all online. We don't have time for the origins of the metroid gameplay when Super Metroid/Fusion perfected it and Prime evolved from it. It's just a mindset and game from the past that you sadly can't emulate today, and no that's not a pun.

I should say that I don't hate the game itself, I just hate the execution. The game is made to look around and find everything. You can go anywhere you want but you need certain items to beat the game. The atmosphere is one of loneliness but at the same time, one where you know you don't need anyone. With out this game, we may not have had Cave Story, Guacamelee!, and number of Castlevania games, among others. I would have loved to have been a kid in the 80's playing this game and making my own maps to find the fastest way to beat the game to see Zero Suit Samus.

My problem is that I played Zero Mission first, and because of that, I see all the improvements that were made. There's backgrounds instead of a black void, which brings across the alien planet feel instead of just being in a dark cave. I know more about the story despite not having the manual. Even though it makes it more linear, but it makes me look and admire the game more. The power ups make me feel powerful insted of making me feel power less as I grind health every time I power on the game. It's a better game in every way IMO

If you like this game, perfectly fine. Don't let me stop you. I just think that the first game has flaws, just like Megaman, Mario, Zelda, Sonic, and many others. They aren't bad games, but they were used as blueprints to work off of to make better games. When you hear favorites in a series, you most likely will hear Megaman 2, Super Mario Bros 3 (or World), A Link to the Past, Sonic 2, and Super Metroid. Hell, I like Metroid II, but it hasn't aged the best either. It used what didn't work in the first game and improved (adding an idea of where you're going and giving you save points).

Bandai Namco screwed up and hasn't given all the people who won Collector's Edition Xenoverse 2 copies to everyone who won. I'm trying to help them out.

Now I'm pissed. They've actually backed out of giving people the game that they promised on stream.

[Hexadecimal*]

Team Four Star's SoulSilver Nuzlocke has had such a high body count and where you least expect it. Gosh this has been so much fun to watch.

[Psychospacecow]

Was just contacted by the host. He says they have a list of who won and will be processing it tomorrow. I'm getting contradicting info here.

No, no. I agree with you. I was just saying that it's a game with a mindset of the past, that you can't really have today. Anyone who plays it right off the bat wouldn't like it for those exact reasons.

I played the original Metroid when I was a kid on the GBA. I had played half an hour of Fusion, Prime and Prime 2. Even when I attempted to play the original to the best of my ability it just wasn't fun and was a chore to play. Even when I got the game as a 3DS Ambassador gift, I only got halfway with a map I downloaded myself.

The game is by no means bad, but it's like a very old rifle. Sure it works, sure it's the reason we have other types of weapons today, but I'd rather take an AR-15 over something like a Springfield Rifle from the 1850's.

So through a series of weird events I found myself playing a game called "Super Real Mahjong 7" which is apparently the 7th series of a strip mahjong game in which the protagonist ruins girls lives by betting absolutely nothing in a game of Mahjong with their bet being for them to strip to nothing.

Now, don't get me wrong. I was here for the Mahjong, nothing else but this game came off as more funny, annoying and retarded as anything else. It was entirely in Japanese so idk what the story was about, but from what I can gather.

Let's say Akagi, goes to this house for some reason that has a 15 year old school girl, a 18 year old school girl, a teacher and a maid. The idea is I come here, and literally ruin young girls lives by besting them at Mahjong, and the bet was apparently for them to strip. The 18 year old is saved by the sensei when I win, and then the sensei unfortunately has to strip down after I win and I apparently take a picture of it and she knocks herself out trying to stop me from doing so. Afterwards I go to the 15 year old, and destroy her at Mahjong and when I force her to strip when she starts crying so instead we instead go to the pool. So after all this I have a go at the fucking maid who is shit at Mahjong even though she tsumo'd twice on her third turn in a row, and then when I strip her down the game ends.

All in all Japan truly has a culture superior to our own. Thank you Japan.

Also please note this was the Sega Saturn version which meant it had no nudity in it.

^ WTF, dude? xD

I can't remember what the group was called, unfortunately, and they've long since stoppedLPing together, but they have a section of their website where they play really weird adult games. Really, some of which was just a softcore porn movie put on a game disc.

One of the games involved playing Rock, Paper, Scissors against real life girls and they'd strip if they lost. Only thing was the game seemed to be a bit rigged in that the girls constantly won.

There was also some weird puzzle game where you cleared away things to reveal a nude woman underneath. I couldn't figure out if it was random, or based on how they played, but all of a sudden a voice would sometimes shout "Turning!" and the image would change to something from out of a horror movie until they managed to change it back to the girl.

I imagine that one would be a bit hard to fap to ;p

"I just don't like it when the bad thing opens his face".

I may not like Sister Location, but watching my favorite group of scaredy cats play it is still pretty great.

Well, I missed it by a few minutes but in American time I guess, today marks the 3rd case Phoenix Wright took on.

There are a bunch of these. This is just the video that I remember.
