Just emulate the snes version

>>14403261

you can see the awful GUI in the trailer

>>14403249

>It'll be nice to have a version with the cutscenes included.

So basically the DS version.

>have both of your Chrono Trigger knockoffs fail

>fuck it, just rerelease the original with some middleware bloat and terrible interface additions

It's going to be the mobile port isntead of the better DS version isnt it?

>Avaiable until April 2nd

The fuck

It's something I guess.

Not like it has updated in-game visuals which would actually matter more than the same cartoon cutscenes on the PS1 version.

>>14403296

The cutscenes don't even matter and look rather dated, they are also less than a minute long each aside from the intro and lack any kind of voice acting. Fucking worthless crap and they bloated the filesize to hell and back by upscaling the video files to 4K probably.

>>14403293

This GUI looks right out of fucking RPG Maker

>>14403308

If you buy it by April 2nd you get a special edition, that's why it has that.

>>14403262

it means the minimum they decided to support.

>>14403363

Oh and according to the Steam forums it has

FORCED HQ SPRITE FILTERING

>>14403249

But the rom been online for free for years

>>14403363

>Its a direct port of the mobile version

>Asking $15

Good thing they put no effort into it and so won't lose any profits. Never fails to make me angry that normalfags will even think to buy this instead of emulate the original or ds version.

>>14403411

>a fucking leaf has a shit opinion

Surprised.

Holy fuck. It's just a rip of the mobile version.

>same gui

>the trailer uses the exact same quotes in the same order as the app store page

>1:04 of the trailer shows the race scene in the future with touch control shit on it

>Costs $12.99 on app store, $19.99 on steam

Lazy fucks.

If you want to play Chrono Trigger, don't even bother pirating this version. Use a different version.

>>14403416

the SNES version has an awful translation.

>>14403428

I'm still have my ds version so i'll stick with that.

>>14403440

It has a free fan translation patch as well that has been online for over a decade, jesus.

>>14403454

I'd rather not be stuck playing one of the greatest RPGs of all time on a dinky little handheld with shit ergonomics and a tiny ass screen.

>>14403249

thanks op, always wanted to play this, but was never a console pleb. just picked it up :)

>>14403470

>PS1

Not with those absurd load times it's not. When it takes five seconds just to open up the menu in an RPG you know you've fucked up.

>>14403470

>PS1

Nigger I grew up playing that version and it was terrible with that framerate. Stick to SNES or DS.

>>14403485

Looks like somebody put it through ZSNES

>>14403487

Oh and I forgot about the load times as well, Square really sucks at porting shit.

>>14403485

I will never understand the appeal of these fucking mudfilters.

>>14403486

>>14403249

Reminder: Square Enix C&D'd the Chrono Trigger Resurrection and Chrono Trigger Remake projects for this half-assed abortion.

>>14403481

Steam a shit, nigger. If you have to do digital release, do it properly. If you want to congregate around steam fanboys, halfchan will accept you with open arms.

>>14403487

Ah, did not know that. I always stuck with SNES.

>>14403470

I love how this limited has nothing worthwhile

>>14403500

Most of these so called fan remakes are usually just portfolio work for the people making them rather than actual games being worked on, that video was all there was going to be of it, anyway. Sorry.

>>1440353-0

Oh, you wanted this?

(You)

>>14403510

CT Resurrection was indeed just going to be more of a demo than a full-blown game, but the CT Remake project was going to be a start-to-finish remake of Chrono Trigger in the UT engine. All C&D'd though. Square-Enix can't get their greasy lawyers' hands off of people.

Resurrection did get completed, but there's no public release. There's a playthrough video though.

>>14403496

Hey nigger I like anime and I'm on your side.

The real problem with that screencap is:

>I prefer to form my own opinions

>wasting $15 like some sheep guzzling down whatever shit your corporate overlord feeds you

15 bucks for a shit port of crono trigger is bad, but there are worse things You gotta remember there are people chugging down soda and cig packs everyday. I just drove my friend today so he could drop 100 bucks on a carton of cigs.

Granted.

>Let's face it guys doing it went full retard for thinking they wont get shutdown. If they did it today they'd make a Kickstarter and run away with the cash they got.

Back in the day doing fan remakes wasn't the kind of shit that would cause lawyers to go ape. That was still a time-honored tradition and most western devs came from modding roots themselves back then. Hell Ultima 5 was fully remade in the Dungeon Siege engine and it's still alive and well: http://www.u5lazarus.com/

Square-Enix just revealed themselves to be a bunch of suits with no understanding for the community. Then again they mothballed Chrono Trigger pretty hard, but I think a lot of that was office politics. After the Squeenix merger a lot of Squaresoft (highly respected) talent was laid off and rehiring them to do projects just scares the shit out of the much less competent Squeenix suits who are scared that CT devs will have too much competence, respect, and clout in the company and thus threaten the jobs of the much more incompetent suits at the helm.

>>14403668

Woops. Accidentally left sage on.

>>14403623

>forced ties to fucking chrono cross.

Are you talking about the extra content that was added? I haven't played any of that.

Are those dungeons even any good, like gameplay-wise? I've always been skeptical that those dungeons could possibly add anything of substance, the game already has so much to enjoy and it wraps up in a nice little package by the end if you complete everything.

>>14403668

Yeah, to this day the "honor code" or whatever you want to call it in Japan amongst gaming studios is so fucked up. I am not saying the west is any better, but they have weird shit too.

>>14403684

I didn't play all the extra shit of the DS, but there's a Final FINAL dungeon you can access, and this is in the PS1 version too. It is very small, and ends with a scripted boss fight you can't really win, and jumps to an FMV that basically tells you FUCK you asshole, Dalton wins, chrono is a loser

>>14403668

>.

Oh, so you're saying that these suits are parasites then.

DS version was best version and should've been the last one, stop giving them money.

>>14403657

Which is why they abuse it, they're kikes, they want control over you so they can kill you, why the fuck do you think a majority of corporations stocked by these parasites trying to cannibalize markets foreign to them are like this?

>>14403416

>>14403467

What's wrong with emulating the DS version?

>>14403249

Tell your shill boss I'd sooner consider paying $20 for a SNES rom of Chrono Trigger than this abortion of a port.

>>14403492

The audio remasters are complete trash compared to the fan projects too. Anyway, it's probably a version of waving a dead chicken, where they slap on filters not because they believe it improves it any but just so they can claim the graphics were enhanced and put it in the tagline. All around a very incompetent job, but mobile work is usually fobbed off to incompetent developers. Then again there are a disturbing number of industry legends who are stuck working mobile nowadays. I imagine even they would have terrible resources on their projects though.

>>14403623

Ditto. I actually kinda liked Chrono Cross, but the forced tie-in shit was just cancer. I wouldn't mind a redo of Chrono Cross to make it less retarded. The game just went full retard after a point. Yasunori Mitsuda is one of the biggest reasons why CC sustained sales, although the branching content was nice too. There was still a lot of dumb shit going on in the game proper though. It really suffered from a lack of coherent vision and was left with a kitchensink design.

>>14403684

Everything I've heard about them suggests they're no good.

>>14403698

All of the guys who worked on Chrono Trigger are basically industry giants, esp. inside Squaresoft. Their clout and seniority (japan is big on this shit) would be massive, and there's nothing incompetent management hates quite so much as losing their jobs to more competent people.

Can you imagine if the lightning waifufag was suddenly told to knock it the fuck off because the company should design decent shit instead? He would never stand for it. He can't have people like that in the company, because those guys would expose him for the retarded tool that he is, without even trying.

>>14403668

Why even remake Chrono Trigger? The original plays just find in an emulator and it doesn't really profit from more modern technology either. I can understand wanting to remake a game that's hard to get running or one that can use a face lifting.

>>14403668

I have a feeling that Western companies are more willing to turn a blind eye when they know that it's free advertising, while Japanese companies see six gorillion lost sales if you even look at their games without paying first (like Nintendo thinking they are entitled to monetization from Let's Plays).

>>14403782

the inferior resolution and cramped little screen, even when emulated make it look worse than the SNES version.

Plus you can play the original on a CRT or at least filter those pixels better

>>14403891

What the fuck.

>>14403863

Just wait for the torrents to come up. The bonus content isn't even that great (wallpapers, some track edits, and liner notes from the composer). I can't fathom how a developer could believe fucking wallpapers are a good bonus incentive in 2018.

>>14403948

are they phone wallpapers? cause that would be fucking hilarious.

>>14403872

Nothing really feels cramped since all the icons and menus got moved to the lower screen and the difference of resolution between the DS and SNES is barely noticeable

>>14403948

I know, I'm just kind of a fag for the compositions in Chrono Trigger

>>14403500

It would have been shitted on at release like Secret of Mana. Because of the minimum changes over the original. The only thing SoM did wrong was some music tracks, and yet you had autistic fags complaining over shit like "whip physics". I wonder if they even played the original.

>>14403826

>I have a feeling that Western companies are more willing to turn a blind eye when they know that it's free advertising, while Japanese companies see six gorillion lost sales if you even look at their games without paying first (like Nintendo thinking they are entitled to monetization from Let's Plays).

A lot of it is just the holdover from the modding days and fear of consumer backlash. C&Ding mods is a really quick way to tank a company's reputation in the industry, otherwise more would do it nowadays. The developer structure inside the videogames industry has changed dramatically. You still get ahead for modwork and a portfolio, but these days the hires were never modders and just have some shitty degree with a practice project or two and the studio has to hire them because there are less and less self-respecting, competent computer guys who would want to go into the videogames industry and work for a big publisher. It's all gotten corporatized and less and less fucks are given to what devs think and feel. If you want to make videogames, it's pretty much go indie or go kill your soul.

>>14403991

You could turn off anime cutscenes in the DS version and just watch them later through menus.

They keep fucking up. For fucks sake.

>>14404120

>Chrono Trigger

>Mostly Negative

How is it even possible to fuck up this badly?

>>14404243

Browsing through the reviews they're citing the UI, font, graphics, and controls as being terrible compared to the original since this is a port of the mobile version. Some are reporting bugs as well.

>>14404243

It's a sleazy, half-assed port, how else?

>>14404365

>This looks straight out of a vidya horror story with a company being this jewish

Tales of Phantasia iOS was a thing.

This is probably the most fun I ever got out of one single game (SNES). It's a shame that the ports of Chrono Trigger are so half-assed.

>>14403782

Less screen real estate. Can't be played on a CRT. Managing two screens is cumbersome, even with a dual monitor setup.

Maybe it'd be better if you emulated it on a Wii U. I don't know. I'm hoping for some type of Wii U-like gamepad accessory to be made so DS and 3DS emulation won't be so awkward on PC.

>>14403984

>Isn't noticable

It's pretty noticable to everyone who played the original first. I guess if you played DS first you wouldn't mind, maybe you'd even find it a bit more "impactful" because the sprites appear larger. But I'm not a fan. Makes everything feel cramped to me. For 2D games even a seemingly minor bump down in resolution can have pretty significant results.

>>14404243

Mobileshit port

>>14404564

You don't need two monitors to use a DS emulator. Both screens will show up on a single monitor just fine.

>>14404564

Personally I'm not bothered by it (I emulate games in 800x600 windows out of habit) but I can get where you're coming from. It's just like WideScreen = LessScreen, right?

>>14403485

It should be illegal to do this to pixel art.

>>14403411

>half the resolution

Ok then.

>>14403440

The translation is quite good. There are a few name changes but that's about it.

If that triggers you there are about 500 re-translations patches you can apply.

Go play Breath of Fire 2 on SNES or any of the DS dragon quest games if you want an example of an awful translation

>>14403623

>secret of mana

Sell that trash my dude.

>>14405006

That's every fucking Squareenix port on PC so far, people have zero excuse to be surprised at this point and if they keep making themit's because people keep buying them.

>>14405390

The only reason why the audio of the DS port is "lower quality" is because of the speakers, on an emulator it sounds better than the SNES version, slightly so.

>>14405720

>sounds better

What if someone like the original and doesn't want it "better"? "Better" isn't always "Better", you can't improve something that's already great, George Lucas learned it with the Special Editions, maybe one day remake fags will learn it.

>>14405744

>you can't improve something that's already great

imagine the sheer amount of stupidity that's required to say something like this.

>>14404243

By being Square Enix. Try fucking asking Capcom and Konami that.

>>14405390

>The translation is quite good

It absolutely isn't

>>14406029

You can't when the people that "attempt" it are too stupid to live.

>>14405390

>half the resolution

The native resolution of the SNES is 256:224, which is then squashed to 256:192. The DS's native resolution, as it so happens, is also 256:192. No image quality was lost in converting the game from one platform to another.

And if you absolutely need the game stretched out over an entire TV/Monitor, emulators do that just fine.

>>14403492

I like those but only from a programming/imge processing standpoint.

>>14403485

The game is probably unstable as fuck with frequent crashes, too. The Mana remake was a disasterous bugfest and fanboy faggots still defended it.

>>14408000

>The game is probably unstable as fuck with frequent crashes, too. The Mana remake was a disasterous bugfest and fanboy faggots still defended it.

Yup. The main defenses for that fucking disaster were "You just don't like it because it's not da super nintendo version!" or, "Yuzo Koshiro worked on the remixes so they MUST be good" Protip for anyone who cares, none of them are actually good, for some reason all of the artists on this, including the original composer of the snes game, the Touhou shitters, the composer for fucking METROID OTHER M, Yuzo koshiro, and for some baffling reason a hipster DJ who makes noise with his macbook and isn't really known for games in the slightest, decided to add shit that just did not work with what the original soundtrack was going for, for example, this tribal jungle type song was scribbed over using rock guitars

Wonder what faggots have to say about this mess.

>>14407506

>Unless you're one of those fags who puts accuracy above everything else, even when a direct translation would end up sounding worse, wouldn't make as much sense, or the style that the original had would get lost in translation.

You probably think Shakespeare is dated, and think there's nothing wrong with Emoji Hamlet. Kill yourself and all in your bloodline

>>14408048

No, you faggot, I'm talking about translating from an entirely different language to english. Sometimes a direct translation results in things being lost in translation from the original, like things that aren't able to be directly translated and have to be represented some other way. An example of this is Frog's japanese name, Kaeru, is also a pun on the verb "to transform, to change" relating to him originally being a human but transformed into a frog. The same pun can't be made in english, due to the language differences, so the meaning of the pun was lost in translation.

>>14409144

why would you want a remake done by current year squeenix anyways?

its a blessing

>>14409144

>Wanting modern Squeenix to attempt a CT remake or sequel.

Anon, please. CT is fine as is. Anything they try to do with it will just ruin what the original gave us and would be a gigantic waste of time and resources. I bet they'd hand the remake to Nomura and then you'd get Crono as boyband member.

There is literally no difference between burning a cracked game and a GOG game onto a CD. Don't make it sound like it's an argument in favor of good old goys.

>>14413908

>There is literally no difference between burning a cracked game and a GOG

He's not comparing GOG to cracks, he's comparing it to Steam.

>>14413862

I forgot to mention this but it's also great how whenever Valve updates their Steam terms of service, your choices are either (1) accept them or (2) inform valve you reject the new ToS and they will accommodate you by deleting your entire steam account and library. That's right, these cunts can fuck you over by inserting new legally-binding demands into your ToS and your only choices will be to suck it up or lose everything. That stunt already became a problem when they introduced the "give up your rights to class action lawsuits" clause in a ToS update, and indeed your only choices were to give up your legal rights or lose your library. And that's the fucking problem, when you "buy" from steam you don't own it and you don't even have any fucking rights to the shit. Valve does, but not you.

If you're not going to have ownership or legal rights either way, you might as well pirate the fucking thing.

>>14413908

Practically speaking you're right. Hell, sometimes the pirate copy is a gog copy. But legally speaking, GOG gives you the "go ahead" for burning backups and shit. They made that very fucking clear. Also this: >>14413962

>>14414058

ToS agreements are basically bullshit, legally speaking

>>14414058

Perfectly valid in the US, and it's already been to the Supreme Court. Twice, I think.

>>14414058

>ToS agreements are basically bullshit, legally speaking

Only if they come after the fact. When it's a requirement to make a purchase (like it is on Steam), it's perfectly valid.

When you buy something and then find an "agreement" after the fact, it's toilet paper… just make sure that what you're buying is actually the game, of course.

>>14414305

What about ToS that changes after you've already accepted and committed to purchases? Technically speaking, such a change would not be retroactive, i.e. if you refused the change, any purchases done BEFORE the change shouldn't be affected. And I'm no lawyer, but sounds like it's a pretty easy case to make in court.

>>14414320

>What about ToS that changes after you've already accepted and committed to purchases?

You agreed that it can change at any time, and that you'll have to accept those changes before your subscriptions become available to you (read: games become playable again).

No, there's no room for that kind of denial here, this is Steam's agreement, it's valid, and you must agree to it in order to use Steam and its services. They've already made a unilateral change to the agreement that has only harmful effects toward customers, and they can freely do it again in the future.

>>14414058

The legal word you're looking for is "unconscionable" or "unenforceable." And funnily enough this is legally valid and above-board according to US federal law. California passed a state law declaring that to be unconscionable, but the S.C.O.T.U.S. overruled them and claimed that the federal law has precedence in a 5-4 ruling. It's a ridiculous violation of states' rights, but hey: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2010/09-893

Under the US, you're fucked. California Supreme Court's Sanchez v. Valencia Holding Company later ruling did maintain that although even if the federal law takes precedent on prohibiting unconscionability on class action waivers, you can still use state law to make unconscionability challenges to other parts of the agreement and invalidate it that way. The California Supreme Court and US Supreme Court 5-4 majority are basically at war over this issue and are thus politely undermining each other.

In other countries you might fare better. Better look up how your country treats class-action waivers.

>>14414132

You wish. Sometimes ToS is improperly set up (ie. you never actually agreed to the shit), and sometimes terms are overreaching, unenforceable bullshit designed basically to scare you, but usually a lot of it really is legally binding.

>>14414305

Funnily enough, there have been idiots who sold packages with a sticker sealing it, saying that opening the package constitutes binding agreement to the enclosed ToS (inside the package).

>When you buy something and then find an "agreement" after the fact, it's toilet paper… just make sure that what you're buying is actually the game, of course.

I think EULAs run into this shit.

>>14414333

>You agreed that it can change at any time, and that you'll have to accept those changes before your subscriptions become available to you (read: games become playable again).

How in the fuck would that even stand in court? What if they change the ToS to demand you sell one of your kidneys, or get locked out of an account with thousands of dollars invested into it? Somehow, I doubt that "you agreed to ANY FUTURE CHANGES to our contract unconditionally" will fly in the court of law.

>>14414350

>How in the fuck would that even stand in court?

Well it wouldn't stand if they did something, as >>14414335 explained, is unconscionable. Arbitration clauses aren't, and you can be sure that once another company successfully pushes the limits of what they can legally do, everyone will follow, just like last time.

>>14414335

>usually a lot of it really is legally binding.

Yes, usually

But the exact extent to which is unknown, since people rarely go out of their way to go to court over this shit

An agreement can't break laws, and any number of terms in any agreement could conflict with some law somewhere

>>14414350

>How in the fuck would that even stand in court?

Because Valve can hire $10,000/hour lawyers and us peasants can't.

>>14414350

But anon, they're not forcing the ToS update on you. You always have the choice and legal right to refuse the new ToS. It just so happens that you agreed that refusing their new terms of service can only be done by cancelling your steam account and if you don't cancel your account (without any refund) in 30 days, that means you automatically agreed to the new terms of service. Don't believe me? Read this shit:

Just in case you're wondering how Valve can have the right to steal all your shit when you refuse their new terms of service, that's because it was never your shit to begin with. Remember that you agreed that you literally don't own the games you buy from Steam. You are only paying for permission to play the game in accordance to the terms of the license. Seriously.

>You agreed that it can change at any time, and that you'll have to accept those changes before your subscriptions become available to you (read: games become playable again).

Uh, there's no "games becoming playable again." Either you cancel your account or you agree to the new license. After 30 days of not cancelling, it's automatic agreement. Maybe if you asked nicely they'll rebuild your old account, but I really, really doubt that.

But yeah, if it wasn't clear, Steam is a subscriber agreement and your subscriptions are the games you paid for (you don't own the games, you buy a subscription which gives you permission to play the games), and the subscription runs out when your agreement ends (like by cancelling the account), and if there is a new ToS you can either accept the new agreement or accept the end of your subscription. That's how they fuck you. If you would like to get to play those games again, you would have to pay for a new subscription and accept the new terms of service.

They'd buy a lot more if they weren't dogshit terrible ports though. The difference between this trash port and a solid port would be that it would probably sell at least 20x if it weren't a shit port and it weren't Steam-only. That's not a joke. Chrono Trigger is already highly popular and well-regarded, meaning a quality port can capture word of mouth with dramatic ease, but nobody gets excited over shit-tier porting efforts and any word of mouth is followed by "This is a terrible port and you should absolutely avoid this shit." If Squeenix were less focused on nickel-and-diming people, they would actually have made more money. It never ceases to amaze me how retarded the suits at Square-Enix are.

How do they even stay in business? Is it all mobile and gacha now? Their mobile ports are ass, though. Something's gotta be driving out the sales. I guess they're like the EA of Japan.

Bought the game, played the game, it was servicable.

If you're a degenerate who gets their panties in a bunch of extremely minor flaws and proceed to blow their vile minds all over message boards on the internet to the degree any normie will wonder whether it's poe's law in effect or whether someone can actually rage over a filter that smudges pixels, then I don't recommend this game for you.

If your IQ is over 100 and you're emotionally stable, the game is okay. Give it a try, though I'd recommend the DS version instead - but keep in mind that shit is $40.

>>14417325

>calls getting upset over flaws degenerate

You took bait anon.

>>14417328

Getting upset isn't what makes you degenerate. Having no control or self awareness of how upset you should be or how vocal about it you should get, THAT makes you degenerate.

>>14417331

100 IQ doesn't make you smart, that is fucking BELOW average. lol

>>14417272

>Despite all this you see people defend this crap in user reviews, outright ignoring all of these facts. You can even find faggots that wrote articles slamming "nostalgia critics" for criticizing the game unfairly due to what they perceive as some kind of blind nostalgia. But despite all this the fact remains that the Mana remake is more like a seriously broken port and not so much of a remake at all, sold for $40 a pop. They even have retail kikery for anyone dumb enough to want a physical copy, as it's a (((Gamestop))) exclusive.

Given how few of them there are, I'm fairly certain they are mostly marketing plants. Suits discovered long ago that they need word of mouth to do well and their shit products get shit word of mouth unless they have marketing plants delude young and gullible idiots as well as contrarian lackwits into lowering their standards and supporting dogshit. But the overwhelming majority of these people are retards.

>>14417300

>hello fellow gamer I wasted $15 playing a shit steam port to support long-gone devs

>all the complaints dont matter bro

>real men don't care about consolization or cellphonization on their PC games

>if you have a high IQ like me you'll stop having standards and buy a shit effort too

Like this guy right here. He might be a genuine retard, or he could be a marketing shill, but there's no sane reason to splurge money on terrible shit from Steam that runs worse and is uglier and less reliable than any emulated copy. You're not even supporting the devs at this stage. You're just supporting the suits that are raping Chrono Trigger's corpse. I'm leaning marketing shill myself because I feel like there's some damage control happening for how bad this thread is going down. There's a slight chance it could just be a contrarian 4kid, but acting like a 4kid is also stock marketing shill behavior, especially on 8chan. The best part of this idiot's post is the peer pressure argument where he tries to pretend that the smart thing to do is to buy an absolutely terrible port from Steam (which, as we previously established, means you don't own shit) while your money doesn't support the devs who made the game (they were given the boot from Square-Enix long ago) but the retarded suits shilling out cancer-tier ports. That's what you're really supporting if you "buy" this. Not Chrono Trigger, but the practice of cheap and terrible ports. That's where you can safely class him into a marketing shill because he is trying to sell copies of a game no rational person would buy.

>>14417331

>>14417335

>I'm leaning marketing shill myself because I feel like there's some damage control happening for how bad this thread is going down.

I still don't get why anyone thinks any major marketing shills would come to 8ch. You might get the retarded indiedev once in a while, but chances are not a single person working for or with Squeenix knows this place exists.

>Beleted toast

>>14417335

he could be baiting anon, he has yet to deny that he was (because really how retarded would you be to have lower standards than the average (((Steam))) user) or defend himself in any way

>>14417337

the main reason is probably because of the interactions people here (who are incredibly abrasive towards new games) have with others outside of this site, those and crossposters could easily influence shit. If you convince or astroturf people on the most vocal, most pro-consumer, anti-greed video game forum currently online afaik, then you've probably done a decent job as a marketing shill.

At least that's what I imagine, but yeah all it would take for shit like this to spread from here are a few twitterfags (which this place has and still has, a lot of dedicated shitposters from the GG days) and unfortunately, filthy crossposters to cuckchan and leddit

I was already able to play this on pc, what's the point of this?

>>14417345

taking your money

>>14417334

Doesn't that depend on country and region though?

>>14417345

Proving your IQ is above 100.

>>14417337

Word of mouth is also about spreading word far and wide and convincing as many people as possible to buy your shit, not just focusing purely on high-traffic sites. Also, we're all anons and have no login system so they don't have to buy a 3 year old account and use it to start shilling games. Seriously, it's a known fact by now that we get shilled by marketing plants, for years now. We've exposed them before. Genuine, 100% marketing shills show up to this site and try to do damage control and hype up trash, and you can tell them apart by how ridiculously out of place they are acting. A number of times we've shit-tested these morons and gotten them to out themselves as liars pretending to be oldfags.

The original reason we even have IDs on /v/ is because marketing plants were so dumb they'd routinely expose themselves replying to their own posts shilling up games.

>>14403486

A fool and his money are easily parted.

>>14417343

>>14417418

No, man. IQ scores are standardized by design so that a score of 100 is literally the average. That is what a score of 100 is supposed to mean "completely average."

>>14417349

The raw scores do vary between countries, but the IQ score itself is just a scale that assigns a certain numerical value to the normalized scores of a subset of the test-takers. The distribution is assumed to be a Normal, it's median is defined as 100 and it's standard deviation as 15. This ties IQ scores neatly with percentiles and makes it easy to assess how frequent some particular score is within that population.

But the issue is that scores are only valid for that sample and thus not comparable: a 100 score from a sample of Kenyan students doesn't mean the same as a 100 score from a sample of MIT students, and the score doesn't tell us how to put these together. When people say something like 'the average IQ in Ethiopia is 80' or whatever, that score is constructed by heaping every single countrywide sample into one huge world sample and then scoring the average raw scores of each country according to the normalized scores of that worldwide sample.

At least that's the gist of it, as far as I know.

>>14417423

I never looked into it, but I always thought average was 110 and anything below 100 meant legal mental deficiency?

>>14417345

16:9?

Smoothing graphics filter?

Steam achievements?

Dunno, $14.99 pretty high still.

>>14417619

>achievements

i know people irl that unironically considers this a plus for using steam. unless it's tied to the game and will unlock some content for a reward in-game, it's as good and pointless as a written "good job, goyim, you did this"

>>14417651

I think achievements became irrelevant this generation. I don't know anyone who's mentioned them seriously in years, and I work at a game store.

>>14417442

>But the issue is that scores are only valid for that sample and thus not comparable: a 100 score from a sample of Kenyan students doesn't mean the same as a 100 score from a sample of MIT students, and the score doesn't tell us how to put these together.

Bingo. Although the standard usually isn't that localized. Generally it's like a national average and MIT students could be expected to have at least IQs of 120.

>When people say something like 'the average IQ in Ethiopia is 80' or whatever, that score is constructed by heaping every single countrywide sample into one huge world sample and then scoring the average raw scores of each country according to the normalized scores of that worldwide sample.

You wish. No one puts in that kind of effort, not to mention a statistically representative sample of IQ test results from fucking Kenya does not exist (much less a recent one, gotta keep everyone on the same time period here) and is probably not happening unless you shelled out major moolah to rigorously IQ test a proper statistically representative sample size of Kenyans yourself.

Basically those national average numbers are all bullshit invented by weirdos who do not understand IQ tests and found whatever convenient numbers that looked right to their eyes, pulled numbers out of their ass, or otherwise "corrected" numbers for factors until the number looks right to your eyes. It's not proper statistical science just because you have a pile of numbers.

>>14417445

lolno An IQ below 80 is legal mental deficiency and an IQ below 70 is legally retarded. Loads of people with sub-100 IQs doing absolutely fine. An IQ over 110 is considered somewhat smart and IQ over 130 is genius.

>>14417619

The graphics filter manages to make everything look worse. The 16:9 aspect ratio is achieved by cutting away from the top and bottom of the screen, reducing overall visibility, and I'm not sure anyone who played Chrono Trigger gives a FUCK about achievements, but just in case you're interested, the achievements list is minimal trash too: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/613830/achievements/

In case you are an achievements whore, somebody made a less shit list of achievements that doesn't require Steam: http://retroachievements.org/Game/319

Really it's just bad on every front.

>>14403891

That would look pretty good for something like Yoshis Island. I can't think of too many games that would even look passable other than that though.

>>14417657

They'd be a lot more valuable if they were tied to in-game unlockables or system store credit or something of the like. As it is now, they're like merit badges without any value beyond the satisfaction of knowing you cleared a game challenge successfully - which players were doing in the 1980s already, just for the sake of doing it.

>>14418936

>>14417657

I bet they're used more as metrics for the devs and publishers to see what people are doing in game

>>14405752

What is the source of the pic please?

>>14417898

I've never heard of retroachievements, that's actually…kind of cool.

>>14423324

> add anything that would properly tie it to the sequel (yes SK3) for ex. There should be at least whole new sidequests for you to do; how about one connecting the game to other mana games? Maybe even having cameos? Maybe hinting for a SK4 down in the line? But nothing like that is here.

Why the fuck would you want any of this?

>>14403363

>too smooth

You mean tweening? Which is the opposite of animation, it means you just move a static piece of art across the screen. If you break it up enough and move small enough pieces, it can give a halfway decent approximation of animation.

>>14431595

What game is this?

>>14431609

Get it on SNES, DS, or emulate it, but do not buy the Steam version. It is total shit.

>>14432044

Suikoden 2. Really solid game if you can stand the backtracking.

>>14417272

Anyone who both liked Square and also had any standards has long since either given up on video games or killed themselves so this isn't much of a surprise. They're quickly becoming as bad as Blizzard drones.

>>14408035

here's the original as a reference.

I can imagine the remake's composers thought that, since those notes sound like guitars, any guitars will do… But the timbre and decay in the remake version is all wrong!

>>14408035

>>14434511

Christ, both sound awful. Glad I have yet to go back on my rule of "no rpgs".

SMRPG, Chrono Trigger, and Xenogears were the last games I was willing to put any time into.

>>14413667

damn you're retarded

>>14442660

PC can't even handle SNES games. No wonder there's no PC 2.

>Chrono Trigger has STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS

let that sink in

>>14403411

>superior

>with worse sound

>shitty extra quests that add nothing

>flow breaking cutscenes that force you to watch a scene twice

Nothing is superior to the SNES original, you faggots really need to realize that just because it's the version you play doesn't make it better.

>>14413667

>If someone wants to play this game (legally) in 20 years Steam will be around.

Potentially? I wouldn't count on it myself.

>The whining about "muh filters" seems weird. How many people have ever actually seen let alone played this game on a SNES and CRT?

Most people who frequent /v/, I imagine. The underage cancer is mostly shitposters from Reddit or SA.

>>14423324

>Maybe hinting for a SK4 down in the line?

There already was a Seiken 4 on the PS2 though.

>>14403411

snes version with retranslation patch is still better

>>14405720

>>14407214

too bad the only decent ds emulator is stuck on a fucking OS for mobile phones

>>14456099

Isn't Android basically Linux? I don't know shit but they could port it over to the PC right?

It's Linux, but not GNU.
