/vr/ - Retro Games

What is /vr/'s opinion on randomizers?
I like the idea of playing the same game in a different order, having a dungeon with a different boss, having to hunt for other progress items, or having to trek through another game in order to get an item to progress further into a game.

Bombs worked pretty well, but I only had 10 in this seed so I still had to spin slash them down. Plus I had to get spins on Vitrius himself.

It's amazing how many magic items the seed gave, all three medallions and both rods, the lamp, but nothing to actually fight bosses with. At least when I saw where Speed Booster was the seed got blown open, getting to dark world opens up so much.

I get the appeal, but I haven’t replayed a single game enough to warrant a randomized playthrough. I usually tend to wait for years after beating a game to replay it.

Lower Norfair kicked my ass, last night. Then again I was being reckless. By the time I reached the Kung-fu space pirates, I had 40 energy remaining. Decided to call it a night and played a LttP randomizer, which was more relaxing.

It's basically completely abandoned and getting any help for it online now is a lost cause. Still kind of regret getting rid of it in my arcade cab though, even if it only launched games successfully half the time, it has a lot of SOVL.

Anonymous

No, sadly. Turbo had significantly different code. Namco was trying to get R4 to run at 60fps on the PS1 during development (using the original Ridge Racer data as a testbed) but the PS1 wasn't powerful enough. They were able to get the first game running at 60fps though, and they said "fuck it, let's throw a disc with it and some game demos into the R4 release".

It's a lot of fun to play, I wish Namco had also released it as a standalone game with a budget pricetag.

My local Babbage's "yes I'm that old" imported a dreamcast from japan months before it came here and it blew my little kid fucking mind. So yes I will say the dreamcast verison is better

I saw the first level at a Sam's Club too, with the killer whale and it blew my mind.

DX is still superior.

See this is the perfect example why your meme isn't "over" anywhere outside of /pw/. I don't know who wolfie is or why he lives rent free in your heads but absolutely no one gets this reference outside of your containment board. Hell even I visit /pw/ from time to time and I still cannot grasp the high levels of autism that occurs in Nash threads, and they occur every fucking day.
I'm not against summer of 92 posting, it's just cringe when you idiots post that shit outside of /pw/ and to paraphrase Davy Boy Smith; "falls flat on it's fucken arse".

Sonic fans tend to exaggerate things one direction or the other, this game's just got problems, it's by no means irredeemable. It's development was kind of a disaster too so I can't be too hard on it, it was rushed from a genesis tech demo to a full fledged game on new hardware in no time at all. You can track how little of the game they had finished nearing release by looking at the prototype dumps, it has barely any badniks because there weren't any added period until very late.

Whats up with Chaotix and CD having the shittiest level design? I know it was rushed but they only have like 5 levels how did they fuck up the level design that bad? Its like the designers purposely haphazardly placed springs and random shit everywhere just to make the levels as frustrating as possible while your trying to battle the shitty gimmicky control mechanics like time travel and clacker rubber band physics.

It's even funnier when you realize the reason Aaron took over in the first place is because Haywood wasn't doing the fucking job on a regular basis and Aaron was already being forced to cover for Haywood and decided he might as well take the credit if he was going to be doing the job.
