Bro where the fuck is Kirby?

They just can’t decide 💀

I wouldn’t be mad at it. In some ways it can be perfected, especially in the platform aspect.

I’d prefer 6 with a real Virgil campaign.

Ilflish, do games w do you guys think this game needs a remake?

No need for a remake. I’m fine to take remake or remasters of games stuck on legacy software but DMC 1 already has one its available on modern PCs.

djsoren19, do games w do you guys think this game needs a remake?

It got one? The HD collection came out in 2012 and is honestly still pretty good, plus you get DMC3 with it.

I’m generally against remaking games that are currently perfectly playable. I’d vastly prefer getting DMC6 before they re-release the original for a second time.

I second this. Especially since I think the first one still holds up. You will have to reintegrate your brain into being cool with the locked camera, but the game still plays well and has a lot of fun moments. DMC has had a really fantastic and interesting life beyond the original entries, so I think it'd be more fulfilling and interesting keep seeing what can be done with the series than to try and mine old content.

To be fair:

  • it got a remaster; a remake is usually something that recreates the game from scratch.
  • DMC1 did not age that well in terms of gameplay, imo, as much as DMC3 did; it’s a little stiffy! But it is true that it still plays much better than many PS2 games.

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

It’s funny, I generally hate hard games, but I’m very fond of Ghosts 'n Goblins (both the arcade and NES versions) and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts due to playing them so much in my childhood.

ramble81, do gaming w I've proudly beaten the remake, but the original NES version is even more brutal...

Let’s not forget the whole “oh you beat it once, but what about twice to get the actual ending?”

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

You’ve had ONE playthrough, yes. What about second playthrough?

Sylvartas, (edited )

Don’t you have to beat it a second time with some dogshit weapon too? And if you lose the weapon or die it’s over because you can’t get it back or something. Or am I mixing that up with super ghouls n ghosts?

ramble81,

Nope, that was the OG alright.

Sylvartas,

Man, I remember my best friend and I got pretty good at reaching the first ending, but we never managed to get the secret ending. Trying to beat the latter levels with that weapon was hell

otp, do gaming w I've proudly beaten the remake, but the original NES version is even more brutal...

The original NES version?

I’m pretty sure the original was the arcade version…which meant that every restart cost you money!

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

I think you’re right. I’ve played the arcade version too, and it’s truly brutal, but most of my attempts have been on my NES. I don’t know how similar the port is.

otp,

I’ve heard the NES version is pretty faithful in gameplay, mostly just a graphical downgrade. I’m no expert, though!

The arcade version was brutally difficult. Brutally! They took that difficulty to some of the 8 bit ports of it (friend of mine had it on an Amstrad CPC 464) so I never really got much fun out of that game unfortunately.

@steal_your_face@lemmy.ml avatar

These games are so damn hard.

I played Super Ghouls n Ghosts a ton as a child but never got past the second level

@ummthatguy@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, the days when games were designed to pump as many quarters out of you as possible. The OG micro transactions.

Pronell,

Also you couldn’t let your game be beaten in a single weekend rental, that drives sales down too.

magic_lobster_party,

Also make puzzles so cryptic a strategy guide is needed.

khannie,
@khannie@lemmy.world avatar

Big time. They were also really well designed to allow progression if you came back and started again. They really knew how to design them to extract maximum cash.

There was a very popular game in our local arcade called “Toki”. I once made it to the last level on one credit (unfortunately didn’t complete it). The entire arcade gathered around to cheer me on.

Another time myself and a good friend finished “Time Crisis” on a single credit in two player mode on a machine that was in our college. Again, massive crowd. People really got joy from watching. It was great. :)

Dkarma,

This was a nes game. There were no quarters.

Willie, do gaming w Nintendo Power's old instructions for taking a "screenshot"

I mean, they're useful instructions. How often at the time did you need to take a photo of the tv? And you were likely not going to know how the photo looked until you got it developed, so it's important that you get the photo right the first time, because there may not be a second chance, since you'll have to run down to the pharmacy, grocery store, or wherever you get your photos developed, and wait for them to come back to see that you messed it up or not, and by then, your parents may have turned the console off.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_(video_game)

And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.

Yes, I know I’m old.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

I still want to go back and play the first 2 fallout games. I wasn’t aware of them when they came out, so I wasn’t introduced to the series until 3.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They’re amazing. I highly recommend it if you like games in that style. The first two Baldur’s Gates were also like that (I haven’t played the latest).

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

I do! Although I do think I prefer BG3’s turn-based combat vs real time w/ pause.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They are turn-based, not real time with pause. I prefer the former too.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Oh good! That’s awesome to hear. I think I might even own them from some bundle in steam, but I just haven’t gotten around to playing them.

grue, do gaming w Nintendo Power's old instructions for taking a "screenshot"

Why the quotes in the title? That is more legitimately taking a screenshot than saving the framebuffer is!

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Well damn, you’re absolutely right.

Ep1cFac3pa1m, do gaming w Nintendo Power's old instructions for taking a "screenshot"
@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

I did this for The Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels challenge. If you beat the game without warping you could get to world 9, and if you sent in a screenshot they sent you a patch. I’ve still got it lol

yeather,

Pic of the patch?

Ep1cFac3pa1m,
@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

Took me a minute to find it, but ask and ye shall receive.

yeather,

Nice

Sharkwellington,

Good job, truly!

Ep1cFac3pa1m,
@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

It certainly felt like quite the accomplishment at the time 😂
