Quick Questions XIV: A Question Reasked (Part 1)

I’ve been playing the Eng-patched Saturn game and so much of the pleasure is in the specific aesthetic achievements I’d absolutely recommend that over the PSX build or the port, which is the PSX version with textures being filtered (blargh).

Here’s the patch author’s thread. You can find pre-patched disc images if you look, too.

Just now became conscious that games where a bow is a/the main weapon is one of my favorite things and I’ll automatically like any game where the bow has a satisfying thwack. What games prominently feature bows?

(The games inspiring my question are Horizon Zero Dawn, Momodora RutM, Tomb Raider 2013, and portions of Half-Life and TLoU)

Bows in Destiny, combined with the already satisfying PLINK POP FIZZ of exploding heads, are extremely satisfying imo

I remember an early N64 preview in Nintendo Power claiming that the analog stick was going to be used to draw the bow in Turok. Did anything ever actually use that approach?

OK. I finally bought Monster Hunter
