You just finish your favorite game, be a Zelda, be a God Of War, be Halo, you see the credits roll, your completion is below 100%... and you couldn't care less 100% is a satisfactory number to see next to our savefiles, beating the baddie is not enough, we want to com every single the game has...

Basically, what are some of the most useless skills you have ever gotten/seen in a video game? I'll start: panic caster from SMT IV. Just so you get how absolutely useless this skill is, what it does is it increases the effects of magic of the caster (+25%) while self-inflicting the "Panic"...

I saw another thread asking about your "perfect game that hasn't been made yet". (https://retrogametalk.com/threads/whats-your-perfect-game-that-hasnt-been-made-yet.6555/unread) But what about a game that has everything you hate about video games all mixed into one? Maybe it has lootboxes, maybe...

Maybe we can use this Thread for General use for all users that stream any Kind of content and are in need of inspiration and more. For me I stream every Tue, Wed and Sun starting between 6 and 8 PM (GMT+1). I currently stream Gran Turismo 2 (Plus Mod) and I am chilling and cruising through the...

Difficulty in bosses comes in lots of forms, from healing, to lots of deffense, to being too sad you don't want to defeath them...¿Wait what? A boss that you need to kick down, but due to story you know had a rough deal or become a tragic boss, say that dragon that murdered millons, in game is...

Just saw a visual novel on steam for 20USD that you need to go out of your way to download a patch on a third party website if you want to see 18+ scenes (whole point of the game tbh, the story is kind of goofy). This made me start to think about how even though people have different opinions...

I go first (comedy master I know). Story time. I always liked the Spyro Legend Trilogy despite its shortcomings. People either hated them or just felt disappointed by them from the start... Then Skylanders happened, and if you know Skylanders, you already know the rest. In my case, it happened...

It is not because I do not want to. It is more of the fact that I have been watching vintage anime like Those Who Hunt Elves and Excel Saga, while I really want to watch or finish up new age anime like Rokudo's Bad Gals and Medaka Kuroiwa. One example was that recently I wanted to watch...

i like nightmare on elm street. but i do love the Angry Video Game Nerd Spoof On It. it's the first 4 player co-op game on NES a game that break's friendship's if you don't know how to play. also.

I used to hate FPS genre, thinking of it as the most brain dead thing ever, compared to platformers or character action games. My disdain towards them was caused, by wasting thousands of hours in online FPS games, and 7th gen cover shooters, which I got sick of them, by the beginning of PS4...

My Nudge today: Just heading out to work, but before i do, i wanted to ask this question. When is it a good time for a company to abuse their consumers? For me, it is never a good time, and it should not happen, but it does! Buying and selling should be a relationship build on trust, with the...

Even though I know it's quite a bit too early to judge, I am pretty excited about this and I'll be honest, I couldn't help but think about Fatal Frame and Forbidden Siren. What do you guys think? Are you curious and excited as well?

I don't know if it's psychological or anything but I don't feel like I'm actually reading unless it's on paper.

Inspired by a comment by @Raziya The Seeker on the First Person CRPG thread, I started to think that sometimes simple titles can hide real gems, game wise. The one that comes to mind immediately for me is Puzzle Quest, as it is admittedly super generic sounding (and is not everyone's cup of...

Let me start this by explaining shortly what I mean: A game that is terrible in the franchise it's part of, but on its own when taken away from the franchise, is actually a good game. I'll start with the obvious answer, and I think all of us are old enough to admit it now, DmC: Devil May Cry...

And why the world in general is lacking it? Does it takes a good person to be empathetic? And can a "good" person be called good if they don't have empathy?

Thread dedicated to everything Monster Hunter, please enjoy!! Im a HUGE Monster Hunter fan lmao

Been thinking about scalpers recently, and the exorbitant prices they place on titles which they seem to hold ransom. Part of me thinks that this is an access issues and this is why other services to allow access exist. But then the financier will argue that garnering demand for said product...

I think that RPGs do imo, but fighters like MK, no way.

Self explanatory, can range from goofy shit post to serious theories
