Final fantasy, dont get me wrong all the games are amazing etc and etc, but those long cut scenes and long talks I just cant stand ... I really cannot play this game, I wish I loved, but I just can't =p
Why was it boring after the first few hours?lite Dangerous...
I have 16 hours in it... It is sooo... Booring...
First few hours were fine, and then...
NooooOOO. One of my all time favourite series'.Also the banner saga... love the idea, but I can't get into the gameplay
Same here regarding Fallout. I loved Fallout 1 & 2, but when they moved away from 2D it felt like they really lost something that made the first two special. And I'm not saying it was the 2D art style, something else, something just isn't there for me anymore.Skyrim and every Fallout since 3. I get why they're so loved, but I just get so bored playing them.
Although the battle mechanic is trash, the dialogue in Color Splash is hilarious and really is it's only redeeming quality. Other than that the gamecube and n64 games are my favoriteAll of the newer Paper Marios. The first two are on my top 10 games probably. Super Paper Mario was fun, though not the same. It's probably top 20, because of the story. After that... I just want to cry. I guess there's two of those and they're like... not interesting. They're not even RPGs anymore.
I once dreampt that Nintendo hired me and gave me full reign to make a new Paper Mario game however I wanted to. Yup. Best dream ever.
Maybe it doesn't count because those two are just bad games, but there is no series I want more to be able to love again. I'll just keep going back to the first three on my ancient Wii and play them over and over.
Anything on XBox or PS. Maybe it's all the fumbling around with game pads.Games you want to love, but just can't...
Haha yeah, it's a weird game that managed to grow on me quite a lot.lol, that's a big difference from your first post, niels! X'D
The Last of Us is boring to play, but I can watch someone play it.the last of us, and pretty much any PlayStation Exclusive. they are more story based usually whereas Xbox exclusives have tons of action.
Three buttons? Eh, spoiled 16-bit brats...Anything on XBox or PS. Maybe it's all the fumbling around with game pads.
You were king of the block if you had one of these 'bad boys' as a kid. This was my weapon of choice.
I have been looking for one everywhere to convert back to use on the PC.

This joystick was often used in combination with a Commodore Amiga, which is a 16-bit machine.@Smarty: I *really* doubt the controller Ghost showed was for a 16-bit machine.
I repaired many 8-bit compatible joysticks. I even hooked up two 8-bit computers once to let one control the joystick ins of the other. I know the pin-outs of those 8-bit machines - 4 pins for each direction, and one for a fire button (and additional pins for paddle input). That's why joysticks were generally reusable on many devices of the same console and home computer family.There were plenty of commodore 64 games that used more than one button, and tons of Atari joysticks that inexplicably had multiple buttons as well, haha.
Oi. The planet is old. I've practically just arrived.Ghost is an old like yourself.
Your parents have disappointed me.I'm slightly younger, but was raised right, so grew up with this stuff anyway, haha.
I'm going to disappoint you too, then. My nephew is playing all this crap now too, thanks to me and my brother. :'DYour parents have disappointed me.
*Geek mode on*Yep. As Rich said. All of the buttons functioned as one. Although there was an 'auto fire' toggle switch at the back which influenced on of the buttons (the yellow one).
I'm all for retro gaming so the more the merrier.Richie said:I'm going to disappoint you too, then. My nephew is playing all this crap now too, thanks to me and my brother. :'D
You could skip the emulator-in-a-box and go straight for a USB retro stick directly, there are plenty. Such as this one:I'm gonna get the C64 mini, just for the controller, if nothing else.
If it is a true 8 directional (which I am sure it will be), I'll be able to smash IK+ again. Just doesn't play the same with a $hitty gamepad.
It might even inspire me to code my long term project again, as it is suited to a solid 8 directional.
Inexplicably, meaning that they had multiple buttons that all did the same thing, in this case.There were plenty of commodore 64 games that used more than one button, and tons of Atari joysticks that inexplicably had multiple buttons as well.
Aw, I could. But I guess I have a warm fuzzy feeling for this particular emulator in a box.You could skip the emulator-in-a-box and go straight for a USB retro stick directly, there are plenty. Such as this one:
I understand used which to me suggested having distinct functions. The two-button setup was made for convenience of the player, but didn't serve the games any purpose.No he didn't

The keyboard doesn't work though, but based on your experiences this may actually make it feel more genuine.Aw, I could. But I guess I have a warm fuzzy feeling for this particular emulator in a box.
Nope, the Star Cursors buttons were all hooked to the same pin (for the home computer versions). The yellow button went through a toggleable auto fire circuit.The Cursor, however, could be set to have two separate functional buttons. If you never noticed it, it's because you used it on a machine that didn't support it.
Said the guy who just found out I wasn't wrong.Nope, the Star Cursors buttons were all hooked to the same pin (for the home computer versions). The yellow button went through a toggleable auto fire circuit.
There was, however, a separate model that was produced for the Sega.
If you knew your stuff, you would have known this
Oh, I think we're misunderstanding each other. I thought the controller was older than it was because it looks old to me. The number of buttons didn't play a part in that. I just mentioned that the Atari joysticks had multiple buttons to show that a controller having more than one button on it didn't mean they were actually separate switches. I assumed this joystick was like the old Atari ones, where all the buttons were tied to the same output.No, Rich said they used more than one button.
I've played my Atari XL games in comparable ways. Joystick in the hands, keyboard under the foot. The swipe generation will never understand the gymnastic challenges of our game playing era.I've played plenty of C64 games, using a joystick and keyboard in tandem.
Yes, cheers, we're clear. I just can't control it when people start pressing my buttons.Edit: My original post was nonsensical. I mentioned the Atari controller to show that this controller was probably all one output, but I also mentioned that C64 games used more than one button. I've obviously never played a C64 without using a keyboard for those extra buttons, so I don't know what the hell I was saying now. It was early, sorry. Ignore my original post. :'D

I was on the flip side of Last of Us. I thought it was really engaging and difficult on the hardest setting, and it left me feeling like I'd just watched a movie for a week. I looked to it for the narrative, but I still think the mechanics were great and the story was gripping.the last of us, and pretty much any PlayStation Exclusive. they are more story based usually whereas Xbox exclusives have tons of action.
Plenty of suitable brains out there to get this done, and the code and soldering is quite simple. A while back I build my own MIDI controller from scratch using arcade 30's and Peavey sliders/knobs. Can't beat the feel of that classic button release... It's like a cloud that clicks when you caress it!You were king of the block if you had one of these 'bad boys' as a kid. This was my weapon of choice.
I have to give props to the first Black Ops, however. I really enjoyed that campaign and the multiplayer was really balanced before people stopped playing it and I started seeing hackers almost every game. Every one since then has been a bore, though.No Man's Sky would be number one I guess. The 74 Call of Duty games they released since Modern Warfare were hard for me to like as well lol
True that, I'll be honest, I forgot about the first Black Ops, it was pretty good!I have to give props to the first Black Ops, however.
For sure. And I have been meaning to do something like this for a long time. Lots of mucking around though, but would be fun.I was on the flip side of Last of Us.

Ooh, how did I not think of this one.Civilisation 5.
Amazing depth and so much possible hundreds hours I could delve in it trying to get every achievement.
I just don't have time to sit 1-2hrs to play one game of it... I can only game about 1-3 times per week, and usually those times are less then 1 hour, so slowly progressing in Bayonetta or DARK SOULS is perfect, but setting up a huge strategic city and so on, I just don't have the time.
