Schrodinger’s Four Nations: The comment is edited, but this comment doesn’t specify the original assignment of each nation to a console, and it leaves GameCube and Xbox completely ambiguous
So, imagine a fight stick, but kinda big and it also has an soc in it to run games on itself and connect to a display. So it can be a controller for other systems or a self contained emulator box thing
Cheap shitty headphones, when the Koss KSC75 exist for $20 and sound better than anything I had bought before. I have better headphones now, but $20 is $20, and I still like how small they are. Despite having HD600s and HE1000s, they’re still my go-to for the average use case.
EDIT: Here’s a list of headphones worse than $20 funny disc with ear clip:
All Bluetooth headphones (and your $500 AirPods Max)
All gaming headsets
All in-store headphones that aren’t that one set of Audio-Technicas
In other words, 100% of what the average consumer buys. Get them in on this simple trick.
I honestly think the PlayStation has the better graphics, especially considering it’s older and weaker than the N64. At glorious 240p, I think anti-aliasing is honestly a downside–the CRT mostly does that work already. While the N64 might have better polygons, the PlayStation, in my opinion, renders a better image, with better textures. That’s not even to mention game sizes being several times larger on PlayStation, thanks to CDs.
There is no game on the N64 that looks as good as Final Fantasy IX. Not a single one. IX might not be fully 3D, but the game does respect the hardware it’s on. After all, nobody ever said the SNES had bad graphics for lacking proper 3D. The 2D style could just go so much further on PlayStation. Combine that with FMVs, and I’d struggle to find a game that looks as consistently good as some of the PlayStation’s biggest hits.
The N64 still pushes great graphics, though. I enjoyed my time in Zelda. The games look and play quite well. The impressively 60FPS F-ZERO X has physics that still work great. I still can’t help but feel like it’s just a worse version of modern graphics, while the PlayStation feels like its own aesthetic, and own world. I grew up with modern consoles, and I still enjoy the charm of pre-rendered backgrounds and FMVs compared to what’s being put out now.
I think the Saturn has pretty good graphics. Being just a little earlier than the PlayStation, it holds up quite well.
It’s clear in Wipeout gameplay that the PlayStation pulls ahead significantly. Much smoother FMVs, better framerates, better textures, cleaner image. Perhaps slightly slower load times, but with that many wins, it’s hard to complain. On top of that, the PlayStation simply sold far better, and saw higher budget titles which fully took advantage of the hardware.
The benefit of CRTs is most apparent in pre-rendered backgrounds (See Final Fantasy, Resident Evil). These backgrounds look incredible with shaders, and, indeed, on real displays.
I did, during my “JRPGapalooza”, which I’ve yet to continue. I put it off until later. I carry the weight of a massive backlog of games on my shoulders.
FFVII’s menu looks completely different. Judging by font and scaling, this is absolutely one of the GBA games. You can exclude VI and later as VI has a purple menu with a different font. III can be excluded because it never got a GBA game. Notable is the “Flee” command second, and the gap in the list. The actions can be rearranged, which leaves only IV and V. The fonts are different for the two games, and, judging by this (the k was the easiest for me to make out), this is Final Fantasy V Advance.
After the age of puns being the peak of humour, the torch was passed to references. Also, the context of washing machines is so central to my concept of NSMB, that either subject can no longer be brought up without the other.
I have played and enjoyed every single Final Fantasy game. Even XIII has some great stuff going for it. The series strong suit is that it’s never stale. Each game is a fresh, new take on a somewhat familiar net of design philosophies.
My favourite is XII. I love its job and gambit system, as well as the world design and music. IX comes just a tiny bit short, then V, probably.
I like the trend of invisible UI. It keeps the display free of clutter and persistent UI elements (hello, OLED) and doesn’t hinder usability at all. I hide scroll bars whenever possible because middle clicking is far more convenient than click-dragging. Hidden elements always appear by using a related action–moving the mouse reveals the play bar, scrolling reveals the scroll bar. It’s completely intuitive. I even remove the forward, backward and reload buttons on my browser because gestures and shortcuts are just faster.
UIs are near-universally as clean and functional as ever… at least on macOS. Windows appears to be a clusterfuck. Linux is alright.
The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks....
I don’t know how weak you’re talking, but Horizon Zero Dawn has that same engaging, high skill ceiling combat that BOTW/TOTK does. The minimum specs don’t look too bad, and the game is quite well optimised. Forbidden West is probably a no-go, though, and it’s a much better game which serves as a true direct sequel. They’re great if you like story, too.
