  1. >Not thinking Megaman Legends was the best Megaman

    Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:25:02 UTC from web
    1. @nerthos Megaman Trigger IS best Megaman but he died on the moon.

      1. @soren If only awful Capcom had not cancelled 3

        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:30:38 UTC from web
        1. @nerthos It would have been better if they hadn't announced it in the first place. I'm still upset.

          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:31:53 UTC from web
          1. @soren Let's set fire to Capcom before they ruin something else

            Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:36:02 UTC from web
            1. @nerthos We should just give Megaman to Nintendo

              Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:36:41 UTC from web
              1. @soren Capcom's going bankrupt anyways

                1. @theyurityphoon Let's hold them at gunpoint until they make a pc port of dragon's dogma

                  Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:39:02 UTC from web
              2. @soren YES PLZ

                Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:37:57 UTC from web
    2. @nerthos I don't hate it, but the best Megaman? Nah.

      Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:27:09 UTC from web
      1. @coltz Megaman Legends 1 is my favourite game of all time.

        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:30:53 UTC from web
        1. @nerthos I don't doubt it, it's pretty entertaining. I just like the X series more. To me, few games were, are, or will be as well-rounded as Megaman X.

          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:34:57 UTC from web
        2. @nerthos TEST OF CHARACTER:
          How do you usually dodge Juno's second stage ultra move on hard mode (room turns red, giant lasers fall from the sky)?
          Your answer will determine your fate.

          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:36:20 UTC from web
          1. @soren I have literally no idea as I haven't played the final part of the game in years.

            Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:37:47 UTC from web
            1. @nerthos Aww.
              It was programmed to be undodgeable on hard mode but there are ways to handle it.
              You receive a "P" for pass. You can't win chess against somebody who does not know how to play.

              Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:39:06 UTC from web
              1. @soren I should find the rom and load it on project64

                Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:40:43 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos The PSX version is better as far as visuals and controls. If you get Pete's OpenGL2 plugin you can apply all sorts of filters and make it look fantastic.

                  Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:41:36 UTC from web
                  1. @soren Oh cool. Worth a try.

                  2. @soren >using high-level PS1 emulators

                    SCORN. I SCORN YOU. THIS IS MY SCORN FACE.

                      1. @nerthos True shock and horror

                        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:45:57 UTC from web
                    2. @redenchilada The PS2 emulators make games look incredible.
                      Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix in English at ten times the internal resolution looks like the recent remakes they did.

                      1. @soren PS2 emulators hate me. I can't get it to grapesing run properly even though I'm told it should run just fine on my setup.

                        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:46:16 UTC from web
                        1. @mrmattimation What specs do you have? Processor is far more important than graphics card in emulation.

                          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:47:57 UTC from web
                          1. @soren AMD A6-5200 Quad-Core clocked at 2.0GHz, 8GB RAM, it's an APU but I believe the GPU it's graphics are based on is a Radeon HD 8XXX series, dunno the exact number right now. Dedicated VRAM is 512MB.

                            Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:51:18 UTC from web
                            1. @mrmattimation APU cards actually emulate it fine- but your processor probably isn't good enough. It coughed during emulation on an A8 which is what I previously had. You can probably run easy games like Final Fantasty X or Kingdom Hearts 1, but you aren't running Final Fantasy 12 or Shadow of the Colossus.

                              Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:53:25 UTC from web
                      2. @soren PS1 games don't scale well at all though. You still have to deal with the console's bad rendering distorting small graphics and generally warping everything, which is easily noticed at anything above native res.

                        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:46:36 UTC from web
                        1. @redenchilada That's why you get shaders and renderers to cover it up: http://rainbowdash.net/url/773683

                          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:49:55 UTC from web
                          1. @soren I'm curious how that looks in motion, now that you've shown it... jitter's hard to judge from still screens.

                            Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:52:46 UTC from web
                            1. @redenchilada I'm at work right now or I'd show you my Chrono Cross setup.

    3. @vt3c Final Fantasy 12 as well as Shadow of the Colossus pushed the PS2 hardware pretty hard. They look absolutely amazing emulated.

      Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:48:32 UTC from web
      1. @soren Shadow of the Colossus is still one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played, not even just in terms of graphics but also just in the way it was designed and presented

        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:50:12 UTC from web
        1. @northernnarwhal It's an absolute work of art. There are few games as beautiful.

          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:51:05 UTC from web
          1. @soren Still waiting on The Last Guardian :(

            Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:52:25 UTC from web
    4. @skellietta I've played it before and thought it was alright, but it doesn't have anything on SotC

      Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:52:09 UTC from web
    5. @skellietta Never finished that one because a firmware update made it run in greyscale on my wii

      Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:52:44 UTC from web
    6. @skellietta It was decent anyways and it's as close to lightgun shooter as you can get nowadays

      Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:53:47 UTC from web
    7. @vt3c The problem with the APUs is that they have two processing cores and two visual cores when you really need all processing cores to emulate properly.
      APUs are actually decent gaming processors because of the visual cores even when you have a card in but they don't do nearly as well for emulation.

      Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:55:39 UTC from web
      1. @soren That's super lame. My PC is all fine and dandy when I'm playing games from as recently as a few months ago, but it stutters like no tomorrow on KH

        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:58:03 UTC from web
        1. @mrmattimation Honestly, part of that is because PS2 emulation is pretty poor. It's like that for all consoles past fourth-gen, honestly (except that PS1 emulation is pretty good... well, and N64 is acceptable).

          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:59:33 UTC from web
          1. @redenchilada Honestly, honestly honestly honestly. Honestly! http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/773689

            Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 06:00:46 UTC from web
        2. @mrmattimation Yeah- APUs are a bummer for that.

          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:59:34 UTC from web
    8. @vt3c That's BS you can't get 60fps, there's like 25 frames counting primes @meloetta can back me up on this

      Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:55:47 UTC from web
      1. @nerthos What? There are no frames. Frames were obsoleted in, like, 2005 or whenever decent CSS layouts became popular.

        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:57:24 UTC from web
        1. @redenchilada That's a lie, CSS didn't get out of Brazil until 2006

          Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 05:59:25 UTC from web
      2. @nerthos 60fps on what?

        Tuesday, 19-Aug-14 06:22:21 UTC from web
    9. @vt3c You obviously didn't get the joke
