In an open world game like that it's generally a good thing to have stuff to play around with afterward, especially with a game as short as Gun.
For example even after you finished the story in Vice City there was tons of dumb shit to do.
With Gun there isn't shit to do but maybe shoot up a town, or iirc take out random injun ambushed in under 5 seconds because your weapons are OP for low level stuff like that.

I honestly thought that too and I had a similar reaction calling it shit because of it really isn't a good Breath of Fire game just in terms of the actual mechanics of the game. But I found an article where some guy interviews the main director of Breath of Fire IV, Makoto Ikehara and artist, Tatsuya Yoshikawa (which I'll link below) and I found this snippet pretty interesting:
http://archive.is/3IiUT
<Q: There are a lot of people who don't die in games nowadays. But in this Breath of Fire title, you're constantly on the brink of death.
>Yoshikawa: The series' previous installment, Breath of Fire IV, was a game where you rarely got annihilated, so this was probably a reaction to that fact.
>Ikehara: In older games, you did get annihilated pretty often, didn't you? And yet that too was a good memory. After all, isn't the essence of a game's thrill also in the "Game Over"? That heartbeat feeling…
<Q: Even in Breath of Fire, you can't have a lot of items, you can't afford to walk around aimlessly and you can't save often. There are a lot of restrictions. Having to somehow survive in the midst of all this gives the game a strong "survival" feeling.
>Yoshikawa: We wanted to capture the pleasure of "success through struggle" in the game.
>Ikehara: I think in older games, there where times when you'd say, "I did it that way, but he did it another way." There was that feeling of thinking and playing on your own. Like for instance, if you were saving money rather than buying the next level weapon, you could make the effort to keep saving money to buy an incredibly strong weapon, and advancing much further all at once. If you're playing by yourself, you can exchange tips with fellow players. I thought games like these were good.
2be466 No.15632925
>>15632922
And I started to understand why I hated the game and a bit more about the game itself: The game largely was a response to how easy BoF4 was and how you could coast through it with relative ease. Ikehara wasn't all that pleased with this since, to him, a game is best enjoyed if there's some sort of struggle involved and the player overcomes the struggle with their own mental capacity. It helped me understand a bit why the game is the way it is and the sort of mindset you need to play it and actually finish it. It actually helped my to appreciate the game more, but at the same time, games like Vagrant Story do similar things with it's Risk meter and it does it better since Risk in that game goes down meanwhile the D-counter doesn't and it ticks up constantly (not to mention the fact that if you turn into a dragon 5 times, game over). Vagrant Story also does the timed story thing better since the flow of the story's plot flows more naturally in that game as compared to BoF5's (probably since they give you 24 hours to complete it compared to 10 for BoF5, which actually is more than enough if you know if you aren't pissing about) along with other things Vagrant Story did better like the combat and the saving system (where you just have to find a blue glowing marking to save in that game and can do so as long as you have time left ). The way they made saves work in BoF5 is fucking sadistic (but again it goes along with the ethos Ikehara wanted to bring into the series, but at the same time he could have toned it down a bit and added challenge into the series in a less heavy-handed manner). In terms of a Breath of Fire game, it's rather mediocre which is why it has a 6.6 on Metacritic's user scores (granted only 13 people actually posted a reply there). But at the same time, I understand what Ikehara was going for with BoFV and if you take the game by itself, it's not amazing by any standard but you can see that he did translate all his ideas into the game aptly and there is a sense of tension throughout that keeps you on the edge and keeps your mind sharp. Plus, when you beat it, it probably does feel like you succeeded just by pure tribulation. I get why you're shitting on it, but to me, I respect it for trying something new and even though it was a commercial failure and pretty much alienated die-hard BoF fans, I kinda like when developers take risks and try something new, even if it fails (so long as it's playable and at least slightly enjoyable). It signals that the developer has enough interest in the game their making to try and do something new with it instead of playing it safe and not changing all that much between iterations of a game series. I feel the exact same way about Ultima 8: Pagan and Final Fantasy 8/10 as I do about Bof5: They're not really good games in their respective series at all, but they're competent and surprisingly decent if you approach them the way the developer's did.
Tl;dr: It's definitely not a good Breath of Fire game really in any sense, but taken how the developers wanted the player to think while playing the game, it's a decent game that probably shouldn't have been Breath of Fire and maybe be it's own thing.
Also,
>FF9
>Worse than FF13 or 15
Nigger what? At least 9 had some sort of semblance of gameplay and didn't become bullshit until the end really in terms of the story. FF15 and 13 either play themselves or are piss easy and have shitty nonsensical stories to boot. It's not great, even by Final Fantasy standards, but Jesus Christ it's not as bad as 13 or 15

Out of all that in RDR two you can hunt animals with a bow and are encouraged to do so for more cash, and you can dual wield revolvers and pistols and choose which ones you wield in each hand.
You can actually chase trains now and take actual shit off of them when you rob them, unlike in the first one where you can only really board them.
still no scalping, chinese presence or indian enemies. Don't think you have explosive bow stuff. Basically 1/2 Gun on 100 GB of install data.

i don't remember a whole lot about it except that I enjoyed it but used to get spooked in the mandatory stealth missions when all the enemies would stop and look at you because they were in range for their headtracking to work, they didn't really "see" you and ruin the mission but it felt fucking weird crawling through a bush and this guy is just staring at you before he continues on with his patrol route.

>Hybrid Heaven
You can suplex aliens. Probably overlooked because the opening sequence is confusing (you shoot yourself, but you're not you… makes sense once you realize the game is basically about body snatchers) but for a system with so few RPGs this one stands out. Don't play it in high resolution mode because it makes the framerate die (might work for emulatorfags).
>Dragon Force
Not really overlooked for Saturn fans, but for people unfamiliar with the Saturn it's a hell of a tactics game.
>Little Samson
Really great late-life NES game, pushes what the system has to offer and in many way feels like an SNES game with high-end NES graphics, a reminder of a time when the platformer was king. Scalpers have jacked up the price so I suggest pirating the fuck out of it, seriously the thing costs more than an everdrive.

>Dynowarz
A sidescrolling platformer/shooter. There are two main styles of levels, indoors which plays extremely "similar" to megaman, and outdoors where you control a giant robot dinosaur. An especially nostalgic choice for me, I would rent this at every opportunity when I was a kid.
>Exo Squad
A fun game based on the cartoon of the same name. 3 main modes of play: A sidescrolling shooter, a space shooter-thing similar to harrier, and a one-on-one fighter. The one on one is easily the most fun of the 3.
>UFO - Afterlight
A personal favorite, its kind of like a xcom/gsg-lite hybrid. Dispatch dudes to take and defend territory, build up a base, research new items etc, and even engage in some diplomacy with ayys. The only thing to note is combat is not turnbased, but instead real time with pause to issue orders.

Motherfucking Nocturne. Action horror game with tank controls like Resident Evil 1 but much greater focus on killing shit and not puzzles themselves. I remember it did some crazy shit with technology back in the day and had performance issues as a result, but I loved it to death.

I wonder why game journos lie about female protagonists not existing? There were plenty of games with female leads in the past that catered to them. I guess it's because they want to market their trash as something new.
That said, threads like these are why I love 8/v/. Instead of advertising flavor of the month fads or gachashit like cuckchan, they unearth overlooked gems. I'm going to be playing all of these games now.

Fuck it, might as well actually contribute with one. Kind of an odd game in which you only control one character in combat at a time, the combat system is defensively oriented, and nearly the entire game takes place in the locale of a quaint fishing village and it's nearby surroundings, and in which you find yourself invested in the lives of the people by way of possessing them. Reviewers in Japan shat on it, which makes me wonder why Atlus picked it, but it was subsequently shat on out here in turn, and no one was even interested in it for PAL release. Maybe it's the fact I didn't pay full price, but I found it a rather enjoyable change of pace. Also a nice OST by Mitsuda, even if he's tried to distance himself from the game because apparently no one wants to associate with it.
>>15689022
>Those art pages.
Did Jade Cocoon get an artbook all to itself, or is that from a more general Kondo one?
>>15689027
It never did get a rerelease in the west (it did get on the PSN in Japan), but on the other hand actual copies also aren't especially expensive either ($30 complete on a system where some of the worst offenders are a good $120+). That's assuming you don't just pirate it, of course.
>>15685072
On the other hand, journos are ready to name drop it in comparison to stuff like yiik.
>>15685131
Probably because they don't consider them done "right" by modern standards, or because they still feel like actual proper characters, regardless of their sex rather than pushing that facet. Or they just don't care to dig deeper than what's current/directly past gen, which in a way is a positive as there's a few games/series I like in which I'd rather them not be swarmed with SJWs and feminists retroactively.

Have you tried its predecessor for the PC98? It got translated into English recently
for the interested, it's called 46 Okunen Monogatari: THE Shinka Ron, or 4.6 Billion Year Story: The Theory of Evolution. You might also find it under the name EVO: The Theory of Evolution

RE1 doesn't actually have that many puzzles, and the few it does have are braindead so i don't know why people keep bringing up this "muh puzzles" shit when talking about the newest games, that kind of faggotry brought us the rail roaded, 5 hour long, jumpscare laden travesty that was """resident evil seven""", RE1 is more about picking your fights to make progress and managing your rather small inventory (remember, even silent hill 1 let you carry as many items as you wanted, only the ammo had a cap…of 200 for each type of ammunition), unless you're chris in which case you can just behead every single zombie with the shotgun and save the magnum for the few mandatory hunters, chimeras and bosses. 2, 3, survivor and CV were straight up action games, it wasn't until zero and REmake that the puzzles got more complex, and even then they were only used in those two games, the franchise has spent a fuckton more time being an action game/first person shooter than a slow survival horror, hearing/reading some random soyboy/nu-fan complain about resident evil "not being what it used to be anymore" honestly makes me fucking laugh, they obviously haven't played any games other than seven and REV2, not even REmake, the game with actual puzzles, or RE4, the game that supposedly killed the franchise for them.

Games over a decade old do everything but graphics better than it does. Its not underrated anywhere, its a totally unremarkable game bordering on shit with nothing going for it but to ride on the fame of the title.
