Is there ever a case where the US packaging/design is nicer than EU?

Half the time the labeling is like someone opened the design in Word and accidentally select font size 72.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Subbed to more craft stuff than game stuff, not specific retro just general game stuff.

Forgot I had this treasure

Name that game...

translated from Japanese in Chrome. I changed 1 word which would trigger a memory (not madness junkie head, thats what gave me a giggle).

Enemy character

Madness Junkie Head
Appeared after Level 4. The upper body is naked. I will set a jump attack. Although it appears only on the bad stage of the foothold, it does not become a mistake even if you touch it, but there is a risk of falling into the hole when it is played.

Forsaken comes to mind.

EU N64.



US PC.

You reckon? hmmm, IMO they're both pretty dreadful but the EU one is marginally better.

Has anyone ever seen this 90s sega footage? So much cool **** in one video!!

I always wanted to try Forsaken, on PC anyway.

I'm playing a Descent style game called Overload at the moment and it's pretty slick.

I had Descent and the sequel on the PlayStation back in the day, and playing both to completion with the original digital pad, which was tricky.

Stick to Descent 1 and 2. Forsaken is ok but got a lot more attention than it deserved for being one of the first slew of games to support 3D accelerators

The worst offender was the use of awful CGI renders on the covers for the PS1 era games.

The final fantasy games are probably the worst offender.

Forsaken is getting remastered and released next week.

I'm still annoyed that Square has now ditched the whole box art being simply the game's logo on a white background.

Oh cool. That's timely.

And you guys should be nicer about the bad box art.

Tried to give it a go, you have to be logged in.

Went to create an account, ran into password issues three times, each time having to do a 'I am not a robot' verification with clicking on tiles on an image.

**** that. :pac:

Skerries

Clue 2

I hate how everyone uses the misquoted image. It's "Am I so out of touch?".

Everyone is using the misquoted image, am I out of touch?
No, it's the posters that are wrong!

Did the same a few months ago.

I did play PUBG since though. Even though I'm ****e at it is a pretty good game. Different to what I usually play. I usually play pretty fast paced with any FPS online, but that doesn't really work for PUBG

o1s1n

Yeah the main reason I wanted to give it a go is that my laptop won't run PUBG and I really want to play a massive PVP type game as I haven't really since DayZ.

Anything else knocking about in a similar vein?

Retr0gamer

Plenty of copy cats but nothing as good as pubg. Can't stand Fortnite either. Only popular due to timing and the price. The shooting is just awful.

I feel like PC gaming has become very hype/trend orientated. Minecraft is apparently back again, for now. Whatever big Twitch streamers are playing seems to be what people gravitate to.

In a perfect world, it would be Wreckfest that would be the game of the moment.

I'd actually love if everyone started playing cs 1.6 again.

I'd love to start wrecking a new generation of tweens thinking they are the ****e on a pc

Naaa. They'll all be telling you to pick up a wheel gun.


Also, has anyone got a spare 3 grand to give to me?

I found h1z1 to be much better than Fortnite, but probably pales in comparison to pubg. It's great for free game though.
