Game Boy versions that were more fun than NES/SNES/Arcade?
cartman replied to cartman's topic in The Gauntlet
It's not really about "only have the same name" but rather that they tried replicating something and because of limitations had to leave a lot out. Also what they did instead. -
Do you have any examples of this where despite color and other technical superiority, you had more fun with the GB game? Blues Brothers: The Jukebox Adventure does this for me. On GB the screen is cramped so you have way less reaction time with approaching enemies or those that are off-screen at a spot you're going to. The hazards/traps are not immediately visible either so you tread carefully. The pace is fast. On SNES (just called The Blues Brothers) the screen is big, visibility, and everything is way slower. I get way more action out of the GB version than than i do on the SNES one.

Sounds good. I've been skeptical of Nintendo's newer releases as being easy to hook kids and accommodate everyone. I don't have a Wii but is a title i would want to play.

Is it easier than NES and SNES?

What are the different solutions out there for the rubber pads under the buttons that have gone to shit over decades of use? I see quite a lot of those different 3rd party ones being sold on Ebay and elsewhere, yet i've also heard complains that the diagonals have a hard time to register and that they don't live up to the original controller standard. Then it struck me that Nintendo have released their own new-retro controllers for recent systems and whether those would do the trick. I've never actually owned one of them. But they do look identical, and if someone ought to know and wanted to use the same rubbers as in the old days it would surely be Nintendo that had the means to do so. Does it work good to just take those rubbers out and put them in an old controller?

Yeah i don't know i get confused by all of it. I was listening to this guy talking aboutlag in Cotton But he talkes about frames of lag but i guess that's not the same as ms. What would 2 or 20ms be in frames? Is he just exaggerating how bad 4-6 frames of lag is?
-
How much in lag is 2.4ms is that like 1 second delay for every 10 minutes or something? 9.9-17.3ms though seems pretty bad. How can i know where 'm landing at myself?
-
It's ASUS VG245H. This one does have built-in speakers.
-
How about using a gaming PC monitor. Will that have better results than even an expensive TV?
-
I thought lag was when a console wasn't properly optimized for HDMI gameplay. Analogue's consoles are built for HDMI specifically. Also why would they advertise 1080p and zero lag then if it's due to the TV anyway?
-
What do you mean? Is it a known fact that Mike Tyson's Punchout has input lag on Analogue NT?
-
Yeah all the single components that make up the game are pretty much flawed. Still i kept coming back, wanting to get further and beat it. There's definitely a positive bias added to it by having beaten it. If i didn't i'd feel worse about the game.

Have you played the SNES version? The enemies surround you, have a bigger range than you, always hit before you do. Sometimes you freeze on the spot and can't even move around. Then the way he'd do that tip-toeing on an edge and fall over really pissed me the fuck off. On the running stages sometimes he'd just stop in his tracks and get swept up by the chasing screen. I kept getting frustrated on clunky and shitty everything was but now that i finished it after countless of hours i kinda feel it's a good game after all. All the issues got translated to challenge. There was also a decent amount of variety between the fighting, platforming and climbing and it was cool too see how they incorporated the movie's villains into the games scenario. I kept thinking back-and-forth about how they acted there and here.
-
Oh yeah that game is awesome everything is on point. That probably would be my #1 movie based game.

Love the Aesthetic / Hate the Gameplay (and the Reverse)
cartman replied to T-Pac's topic in The Gauntlet
I've barely reached any distance but Total Carnage looks like shit and the warps are the same looking shit and just an annoyance to get inside of. They add nothing. But i like the gameplay. I feel Super Smash TV did it way better. -
NES games difficulty compared to modern standards
cartman replied to BlackVega's topic in The Gauntlet
I haven't played that one. But all the retro-esque/indie games that i did play there was no question whether i'll beat them but rather how soon. I could just continue right there if the (many) lives ran out. Completing as in what? If you mean 100% by finding every trinket that's more like a bonus than the actual game. And no damage runs and whatnot might be impressive but that's even less the game. Even if there's a trophy that's still just exercising skills beyond what is needed. -
NES games difficulty compared to modern standards
cartman replied to BlackVega's topic in The Gauntlet
I don't think it's refined. Just a lot easier. Plenty of lives, checkpoints and and unlimited continues so that you'll finish the game even if you sloppied it through. -
The console does seem on the sloppier side of things. Is it harder to produce a top loaded disc tray where the top opens & closes, more wear? Both the original CD-addon and the Duo had it and frankly it's way cooler aswell. Now it slides out and you can barely grab it. Did anyone who built this actually eject a CD and figured it looked good? Also there is supposedly way less settings than Analogues previous consoles. Not that i'm really in tune with all the differences it would make, but still. It gives the impression that Analogue got a little complacent and made a solid unit but nothing more above that.

International Politics / Current Events Thread
cartman replied to avatar!'s topic in Political Debate & Discussion's threads
No Hamas is not a nation. Even if they were you still couldn't legitimize own warcrimes by claiming revenge against the other side. It doesn't work that way. International law doesn't doesn't recognize such notions. Yes they do everything you mentioned. Hamas often purposefully attacks from where it's own civilians are and they target Jewish civilians on purpose. There's also the fact that you can't really oust them since they stay by force. The bombing campaigns have already killed ~20,000 civilians. That's not quite "avoiding civilians" in my book. Even if they didn't target them intentionally it's clear how massive the collateral damage would be. Israel has also been condemned for blocking the access to water, food, medicine and electricity wich hits civilians the hardest. -
International Politics / Current Events Thread
cartman replied to avatar!'s topic in Political Debate & Discussion's threads
You're equating the obligations of a terrorist group with those of a sovereign nation. That's kind of why they are a terrorist group in the first place: because they don't follow any rules and kill indiscriminately. That's hardly an argument that Israel should get to do the same (bomb in residential areas). This is like saying cops should get to recruit minors and kill family members because "look, criminals do it too". You're mixing apples & oranges and failing to acccount for what that voting was actually for.
