"People should be banned" sounds perfectly rational. I know you're being facetious.
lol, stfu you fucking moron.
There's truth in this, but somewhere along the line, developers have gotten way too comfortable in asking for interest free loans on projects that are barely more than an idea.
Ironically, to date, the best homebrews for the Neo have been the free conversions & ports. The non-cash grab stuff like Knight's Chance, Hypernoid, and Block Panic DX also tends to be better than the $300+ releases.
Um, no. And Knight's Chance was originally not inexpensive.
Um, yes. And Knight's Chance is dirt cheap now and legally available as a ROM. Hypernoid is the best breakout style game on the Neo. Block Panic DX breaks new ground as a nice-looking, 4-player puzzle game on all neo hardware, including the CD. And at least, as far as I know, they are all still exclusive to the Neo.
You're mostly right, but Knight's Chance isn't the defense you think it is. It's barely a game and the dev was making bank long before he released a rom. Every once in a while he'd release a few more carts to get some cash from thirsty noobs.
It's just as much a game as all of the official mahjong titles, gururin, puzzle de pon! etc. You're correct that the dev made their money for a while before releasing the ROM, but at least they did so at a very reasonable price. The presentation for the game is also very well done. As for the thirsty noobs, that's on them.
I like Xenocrisis, but it's basically identical to the Genesis game but with the second worse control scheme out of all the ports (GBA is #1). Makes me wonder what they were thinking when they decided to port it. BB advertised the game to be like Shock Troopers which is about as misleading as advertising can get. I'll give credit that they did release a ROM and CD version of the game for a reasonable price.
So you're saying they might be better, but the high price means it's moot. Fine. All I'm saying is there's no way those cheaper games are better than the likes of the NGDev games, Project Neon and Vengeance Hunters. The arcade fan ports don't really count because they're nice to have, but they've always been playable elsewhere.
But you can create a game that has that elusive authentic feel, it’s just that barely anyone attempted to nail the presentation and art style of the real NG games. Knights Chance might be a collection of shallow minigames but presentation is on point and reminds me a lot of Pinball Fantasia.
100% agreed. It all comes down to presentation, and the only homebrew that has it is Knight's Chance.
No, I'm saying that I (and my guests) have had more fun with the games that I've mentioned. The fact that they are reasonably priced or free is a win and they are as good or better than some official titles in their genre in terms of graphics and gameplay. For example:
Not only are many of NG
ev games harder to find than rocking horse shit, but most of them look like poor clones of prior Neo titles. Project Neon looks like a mid PCE game. I played Vengeance Hunters a few times and I agree with Joe from Game Sack that it just isn't that fun to play. I rank it lower than other beat em up's on the same hardware.
Well, I'm saying you're smoking some serious shit. Have you played Vengeance Hunters? It's fantastic. It's available on modern platforms too.
Those three are all good, but as far as how they compare to the official games, that's your opinion, man.
Sounds more like sunk cost fallacy on your end. The game that you're shilling for is so groundbreaking that it failed to meet a low kickstarter goal for physical copies on all of the modern platforms and the Neo.
Obviously.
I mean, you're free to defend Gururin if you wanted to, but anyone with working ears and eyes would disagree with you.
That has nothing to do with the quality of the game. No surprise the demand for physical copies of an indie game that's available digital is low.
Tell that to Cursed Castilla, Scott Pilgrim, Cuphead, Shovel Knight, The Messenger, ect. Want a more recent example? I'm pretty sure Earthion is going to sell just fine when it's released next year. Cursed Castilla was and is available for free years before a physical was announced.

Yet, countless indie games disprove your fanboyish theory. Keep reachin'.
So I take it you've played many of these, since you're telling us the free and cheap games are as good or better.
You know, another way to look at this sadly is that every game dev knows were all retarded and that games made for neo are literally only cash grabs to prey on us.
