I've been playing the few N64 games I can, since I have neither an expansion pack nor a memory card. When those arrive, I can really get into Rogue Squadron, Tony Hawk and Top Gear Rally.
I've mostly been playing retro stuff, and my PS3 is mostly used to watch Netflix and YouTube.
Tony Hawk is way better on the Dreamcast.
I think I ended up completing just about all the side stuff in Yakuza, despite not really looking out for it. I'm stuck on some mysterious assassin who seems designed to exploit everything wrong with the combat system. He rolls to get out of the way of combos, which is a pain because Kazuma turns like a truck. He runs far away (and faster than Kazuma can move), which typically leaves him offscreen. Then he throws grenades that knock down Kazuma. And you can't reset the camera while Kazuma is down, for some godforsaken reason. He has a spinning kick that trips Kazuma and seemingly can't be blocked or countered, nullifying those elements of the combat. I think I'm going to leave this asshole undefeated - it's just not fun to fight something like this.
I installed the 0.18 version of Brutal Doom.
It is one of the greatest things I have ever played.
I've been wanting to try that.
I'm still playing the Saturn, and I've made peace with the way Daytona Circuit Edition controls. I read that it's not even using the Daytona engine, but instead a modified Sega Rally engine, so instead of trying to play it like Daytona I began to treat it like a totally new game that just happens to have a few Daytona tracks in it. I tried every car, settled on the default Hornet, and got used to it. I'm digging the game now, but 1st place in the original "Expert" track and the second new track are still kicking my ass. I'm getting pretty good at Sega Rally too, but I still can't do better than 4th place. I really love these old arcade racers, they may only have a few tracks but you can play for 20 hours straight and you still haven't mastered them. Modern racers may have 50 tracks but none of them have the thought put into them as these old games do.
Also, I'm really playing Soukyugurentai now. Reading faqs and threads on shmups and everything to really learn the game. It's really, really good, and I suck at it still.
Consider this your cordial invitation.Quote:

This part from the FAQ cracks me up the most:It's fucking Doom but with so much blood and bullet casings it will still cripple some people's systems.Quote:
5) My Framerate is geting bellow the 30fps.
A: Unfortunately, all I can tell you is to get a better computer. Doom can be a 20 year old game, but if you want to play Brutal Doom always at 60fps, you will require at least a dual core, 2gb of RAM, and 256mb gpu. Let's say, if your computer can't run Battlefield 3 or Skyrim in minimum settings above 45fps, you are going to have a bad time to play Brutal Doom in levels with lots of enemies.
As last resort, you can use the Janitor Addon, which reduces the time that blood and ammo cases stays in the ground. This addon will greatly improve your performance if you are playing it in a Pentium 4 or a computer with DDR2 or lower ram.
There's also some auto-aim settings, I kind of want to test it with a controller to play on the couch.
Well then, my shitty pc can't play it at least until I put a real video card in.
