>>1719 Keep it and let him get fired

well sometimes they fuck up in your favor, often they dont. sell it

They bill personnel for those losses. Company loses nothing. You should return it.

>>1704 > it's fair to say that most games released since like 1980 aren't playable anymore, if you aren't willing to spend a lot of money and effort on hardware Why? Ain't there at least few emulators for pretty much every retroplatform?

>>1694 Consider an example: Xenoblade Chronicle X re-release happened only because emulating its Wii version gradually created a demand as people had been getting informed of XCX as a cool thing that's a bit unfinished and is a Wii exclusive. Same for countless other games that got out of stock or got delisted with only maybe scalpers reselling them at unfair prices. Especially for platforms that got deprecated and, again, monopolized as a product to be sold by scalpers. Piracy is archivation. Piracy is also free PR for a product, and signals for a market there's demand with the price seen to be a bit too much. That's why you shouldn't pirate kusoge and completely ignore any crappy or corpodemon software. I'm tired of dealing with any malware personally, so I usually just stuck to supporting devs I like or using free software. I was never in the mood to neurotically manage my internet reputation to get into private tracker circles.

>>1706 Wii U*

They are beneficial to me, that's all that matters.

>>1705 sorry, i probably worded it wrong lol. i was talking about playing games on original hardware specifically. yes, there are at least a few emulators for everything, which is exactly my point: emulating is much easier and less costly than playing on original hardware. the convenience is just undeniable, and in either case, no money will ever go to the developers, because they aren't releasing the games anymore.

>>571 S3&K's special stages are the most memorable for me, but they made me dizzy as a kid.

Of the true classic games, I'm not sure. Each of them obviously have their own hangups, but I think I'd probably give it to Sonic 1. It's got that 'first game in the series' weirdness concentrated pretty heavily in the Special Stages that have only been done since as homages instead ofna true evolution of the concept. If we count Mania as a sort of neo-Classic, then Mania takes it pretty easily. Well crafted, fun, many different ways to play it. It's a great idea that lends itself well to Sonic. If we're count fangames that emulate Classic, then my true personal favorite is Triple Trouble 16-Bit. Racing Fang to the Emerald, having to hit boosts, dodge his attacks, hit him back, all of it incredibly frantic and keeping you on your toes. The Fang races are so great that when I got the last Emerald I was disappointed that I couldn't keep doing them.

Mania if you count it. CD otherwise, especially in the Taxman port.

>>850 >I don't see why not Probably because it didn't come out during the classic era

>>1645 i might be crazy but i feel like the special stages are easier in the original than the taxman version

>>1615 only played pokemon rune factory and fantasy life on it pokemon #1

man i put so many god damn hours into smt iv when i first hacked my 3ds

Mario Maker because I couldn't afford a Wii

Kid Icarus: Uprising is literally my favorite game of all time, I poured hours into clearing every board and beating every challenge and getting all the idols and powers, so, so good.

>>1615 animal crossing new leaf and fantasy life

We playing chess again? Damn, i wanted to play BF.

first beta was rly fun! definitely some kinks that need to be ironed out but that's standard with every battlefield game, next beta is on the 14th and ill be dropping my steamID in here so maybe some of us can play together see you guys soon

>>1586 i'll probably be playing this weekend. i didn't get to play the beta that just ended but i have a 3 day weekend so i should have some time

BETA IS UP!! add 113831879 if you would like to play

ITS GOOD BROS WE'RE SO BACK if you still want to play you can add me here >>1597

>>1690 >>1691 Thanks! >Donkey Kong 64 is my one of my personal favorites. It's a great game bro

>>1692 Just be sure to buy the Ram expansion slot if you plan to play DK 64 or Majoras mask

Play the games a bit on an emulator and then decide which ones to buy for the console. Personally I'd just play on an emulator straight ahed but it's your money so you choose what to do with it.

>>1687 i have an N64 that i genuinely don't even touch, been thinking of selling it. if i ever want to play N64 games i generally just emulate them.

>>1687 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and Battle for Naboo. They are infamous for only working on original hardware.

I won't be buying anything this year, because I'm saving up for an NVMe, and I still have uncompleted games in my library.

I got Sekiro but most of my game time is spent playing Riichi Mahjong these days

Got those for 7.5$ total

>>1684 Retarded UI removed image after failing captcha.

i bought death end request

Here's my friend code: SW-0228-6322-1432 Maybe we can play sometime!!!

>>1677 only a switch one are the friend codes workable on one too

>>1679 Awesome, sent! >>1680 That I don't know.. I could see it working still so to be able to join friends who are playing an S1 game on their S2?

>>1647 I am going to make a steam account and play it on the next sale, or maybe buy it on the switch like I did hollow knight

>>1657 how is hollow knight on the switch? is there any anything new compared to the PC version

>>1656 In the High Halls gauntlet. My jaw dropped when I found out that the first Choir Clapper (that's their name apparently) was only the first half of the fight. Eventually, after upgrading my Needle, I could get consistently to the last wave, but it's still a struggle, so I decided to go exploring instead. I read online that Shakra assists you with the fight if you buy all the maps from her, so that's what I'm trying to achieve now

>>1658 I didn't play on PC so technically I wouldn't know but I don't think they added anything

>>1659 is not that hard is simply annoying because is a new enemy with a new moveset at the end of a long gauntlet. the bilewater endboss is probably the hardest boss I have fought so far: very few opening, rare way to gain mana shitty status effect the gauntlet and road to it is easy but excedingly annoying to repeatedly go trough.
