PSVita for Xmas

>>1333 >2016 >Ancient

>>1335 in 40 days 2016 will be a decade ago!

>>1326 Good for you anon. I usually jump between games and chores or other more productive activities to pre-empt burnout.

>>1328 Actually, this was more me calling in sick at the ball pulverizing factory to get some time for myself. Welp, back to the grind.....

Doubleposting, but I mistyped the URL to check this board and came across this. I never expected the post I wrote in 2nd image to be prophetic that soon. >>>/v/ is literally for manbabies now, the sticky is just a thread you can find on cuckchan.

>>1322 The sad part is that a chunk of those posters are now lost forever. It would've been nice to redirect them to this board or sleepychan. It's a shame I let a fat autistic kike occupy my headspace.

>>1324 I'm here. I just wish I had something more to say.

>>1317 >You need averages for the areas these jobs usually exist in. Just did that: https://archive.ph/TTfSi <The annual average gross salary in Los Angeles is $87,498 ($7,293 monthly) in the city and $83,971 annually ($6,998 monthly) in the LA County. https://archive.ph/5mwZV <What is the average household income in San Francisco? <$96,265. https://archive.ph/AdasK <According to the latest statistics, the average salary in NYC is about $80,000-$90,000 yearly https://archive.ph/bsfNm <The median household income in Washington is $92,629. So even the lowest paid game developer is still making at least $30k above the local average.

>>1320 Yep, they're self-entitled alright.

>>1317 >The only non-malware games with security issues like these I've ever seen are triplegaaay shit though. The problem I see with this is: <1. People who use those games and software deserve to get fucked whenever these companies are hacked, especially when people keep posting better alternatives practically all of the time but those people refuse to do anything because they have "nothing important" to steal anyway And ESPECIALLY especially when these companies shouldn't be having all of this information in the first place. <2. And more importantly, there's nothing in the provisions actually detailing that this law applies "exclusively" to networked hardware and services. Call me paranoid, how much of a stretch is it for the EU to begin going after softmodders exploiting vulernabilities and hacking devices despite that practice being exclusive for personal use, and effecting no one else in the slightest? Or even taking things further and worsening the problem by demanding that "all" electronic devices and software now have to have internet capabilities, all on the excuse to "protect" people as how can you keep them "safe" unless they're using the latest up-to-date software and devices that's being monitored 24/7 by some outside entity?

>>1267 >I thought the only changes were the additions of voice acting, replacing the opening FMVs, remastering the textures, and "updating" the combat to reflect the changes made in Zero and Azure. Or are half those changes exactly the problem? Nah, they also replaced the OG's legendary soundtrack and used the Zero/Ao artist for the character art. Plus, the voice acting they added was disappointing imo.

>>1265 A modded Vita is currently the only way to play 3rd on console in English, meaning you can play the first 7 games in order without skipping anything. This won't be an issue if the remakes ever catch up to 3rd though. And if they don't fuck anything up.

>>1283 >and if they don't fuck anything up They already are, they're censoring shit on the newest remake, and NISA is an untrustworthy disaster too.

>>1203 What's stopping them from just editing the LLMs anyway?

>>1229 Nothing, really. It just makes those wastes of oxygen increase their carbon footprint :^)

>>1230 As long as those ppl are in charge there will be censorship

Stop buying physical games, goy! >Manufacture and shipping of physical games is "100 times more carbon-intensive" than digital, new study finds https://archive.ph/QGk3z <A new study has found that buying physical copies of games is "100 times more carbon-intensive" than buying the digital version. <The report, 'The Carbon Footprint of Gaming', has been produced by French carbon accounting firm Greenly and examines the environmental impact of PC, consoles, mobile, and handhelds, as well as the production of games in different formats. <Greenly found that the manufacture and transportation of physical games has a significant impact on the environment, with the firm's Théo Nicolau-Guillaumet estimating that the manufacture and packaging of one million discs can emit 312 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). <In comparison, downloading the same number of digital copies of a game (worth 70GB) emits 3 tCO2e. <... <The report highlighted that the extraction of rare earth metals and plastic during the production of physical discs "requires high energy usage and can deplete already-finite water resources." FYI, data discs (Like CDs and DVDs) are made from plastic, aluminum, and lacquer. Japanese developers are leaving Steam >LoveR Kiss Endless Memories releasing on GOG, DLsite after Steam delisting https://archive.ph/jrEu0 <LoveR Kiss Endless Memories, a visual novel where you can freely take photographs of characters and scenes, will now be coming to GOG and DLsite after being removed from Steam ahead of launch. <Publisher Dragami Games mentions that the removal from Steam happened due to “various circumstances”, though this is likely just a way of saying it was denied due to a combination of younger characters and ecchi content.

>Pokémon Pokopia appears to be the first Nintendo-published Switch 2 game to be on a Game-Key Card https://archive.ph/hMuvD <Nintendo and The Pokémon Company confirmed today that Pokémon Pokopia, which is being developed by Koei Tecmo, will be released on March 5. <However, in a separate video also published today titled Using Game-Key Cards on Nintendo Switch 2, a sample box and card for Pokémon Pokopia was shown, which shows the game as an example of a Game-Key Card. <VGC has reached out to The Pokémon Company for confirmation that Pokémon Pokopia will indeed be released as a Game-Key Card. >Nintendo president admits Switch 2 has no games https://archive.ph/MVQ2O https://archive.ph/XFcd6 <“Software development costs are higher and development periods are longer, making it more challenging to continue introducing new titles at a good pace. <Nintendo Switch 2 can also play compatible Nintendo Switch software, so we would like to recommend Nintendo Switch software as well to consumers who are picking up a game console for the first time. With these considerations in mind, we believe we will be able to maintain the momentum of our Nintendo Switch 2 business by striking a good balance between introducing new titles and encouraging consumers to play evergreen titles over a long period of time.” Are they purposely trying to make people hate them?

>>1216 >Are they purposely trying to make people hate them? Maybe. But it is more likely that they feel invincible. They feel like they can make bold statements without much fluff and still get the sales numbers they desire. Despite the decisions Nintendo has made so far, the Switch 2 is selling. Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, games from these big series are selling despite their obvious shortcomings. So currently, they feel like they can be more straightforward even with more negative statements, since they feel it won't cut into their profits too much.

It's been 5 years since this released. No PC port yet. The company who made it, Media Molecule, were the ones who made Little Big Planet, which they've been coasting off of till the present day. The only venture they had besides this and Dreams was Tearaway, in 2014.

>>1209 No, it means you're a pedophile. Only children and pedophiles play roblox.

>>1212 u got that backwards anon >pic They added a big titty monster girl to Roblox?

>>1106 I like how the ones that actually want to scare you in this list are (almost) all point and click adventures.

>>1071 This was cute. Is it supposed to just go black after you give the guy the coins?

>>1071 >>1206 >There are different endings Are there more than two? Are they random?

>>1191 >Doesn't seem to have any DRM free options. Tried pirating it and running it in a bottle, but I get a fatal error crash on startup every time even after installing all dependencies. That's a shame, hopefully a solution is found someday. >the game just appears average There have been anons who have said the same, and I really think it depends on how far you get in the story/how far you watched someone else go in the story. Because before certain events happen and certain facts are revealed, the story can seem pretty average. Even taking that into consideration, the overall themes have certainly been done before: family, protecting your home city, securing the future, defeating a big bad enemy, a mission with a low survival rate, etc. But the fact that the writers don't try to reinvent the wheel while delivering their clear messages makes the story enjoyable. There are certainly instances of symbolism and foreshadowing, but the writers don't put the player on some metaphysical, psychedelic trip that requires a 30 minute lore explanation video to wrap your head around. >probably just hyped up because standards have fallen so much I'm not involved enough with social media to know exactly why the game has garnered a lot of hype in those places. But maybe people have been thirsty for a game without a lot of the typical propaganda that is in games nowadays, whether they realize it or not. So they found E33 to be pretty refreshing.

>>1191 >which is a shame because I like timed hit systems Have you tried Resonance Of Fate or Time And Eternity? >>1194 >But maybe people have been thirsty for a game without a lot of the typical propaganda that is in games nowadays, whether they realize it or not. So they found E33 to be pretty refreshing. That is pretty much the reason and the justification. It's even why Bear Sex 3 won GOTY despite being rather mid, even compared to the previous BG games.

>>1198 >Have you tried Resonance Of Fate or Time And Eternity? No. Though I do like timed hit systems they seem pretty rare. Most of my experience with them is from the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series, and some other JRPGs that I had blind faith as a child that I would do a little extra damage if I hit the X button right as an attack connected. I tried playing Shadow Hearts via emulation once, but I got all the way to the top of the tower and then there was a consistent freeze when loading the next cutscene, and I haven't had the motivation to try again years later since my saves are long gone.

Head, your first test, since word is getting around.

>>1166 That sounds scary. I'm pretty bad at tests.

If you detest Mark for good reason, stay here or maybe go to zzzchan. If you don't have a reason to hate the slimy jew or miss the good ol' days of 4chan's /v/ where people made all kinda of random bullshit threads that were barely video games, go to /vb/. That being said, i assume we'd be as bad if we had the same runoff population from tubby talmud getting really pissy about what he wants on his pristine board.

>>970 Jesus fucking Christ, fuck Glumstone the Giant. Too much shit going on at once, and fuck that fucking last phase. You can easily end up with all three of the middle platforms gone at once.

>>970 I should get back to this someday I finally have a computer that doesn't choke on running cuphead

Almost beaten Saltbaker. His first two phases are hard, as they both layer 2-3 attack patterns at a time continuously, but the last two phases both seem super easy. I haven't done the secret fight yet, but there must be something else to it, because even though I think there's only two bosses left, the DLC says 58% complete.

>>622 >Vid Decided to look up people's reactions, and it seems like the only people even doing stupid shit like this are the literal and unironic oversized and above-age children trying to make themselves look cool on Titkok.

>but it changes significant aspects of the game's plot This is always going to happen, you can't fit a good plot into an hour and a half movie. That being said it was still about a tournament to protect earth from outworld, it was high energy and used relatively unknown actors for the roles (which video game movies should ALWAYS do). Mortal Kombat (the first one) will always be the best because the 'plot' of the game (and the characters) is so simplistic making it almost impossible to fuck up. You go in expecting cool fights and fun one liners and that's exactly what you get. Anything more complicated than 'earthlings fight warriors from other realms to keep earth from falling under their control' will ALWAYS get fucked up. Sure we might get the occasional fun movie like Resident Evil: Apocalypse that gave us Jill and S.T.A.R.S but generally if you like that movie (I do) it's because you didn't really care for RE games and don't care about the non-game add in stuff like Alice.

>>611 >What do people actually want Depends on what you mean by people. If people means the average movie-goer, who is probably not familiar with video games at all, they are looking for the usual. Easy to digest content with a simple but fun story, highs and lows, character growth, and a big bang of an ending where people live happy ever after. They see video game movies as adventure or comedy films because the average person associates video games with fun, whether the series is for teens or kids. So they don't expect endings that leave things unclear or endings with extreme horror elements. If by people you mean video game fans, they want something that contains the characters and elements that make a series enjoyable, but nothing that seeks to overwrite or contradict the personalities or rules of the world the game takes place in. It's easy to make movies based on books, because no reasonable fan expects the actors to look exactly like their mental vision, nor do they expect the castles and towns and buildings and whatnot to look exactly how they envisioned them while reading. But video game fans have already seen official visual depictions on how a town, a character, a creature is supposed to look or act. So if a director takes liberties and makes major changes to these things, it feels like a betrayal, the character becomes something new while wearing the nametag of a known icon. Since a lot of video game design choices are near impossible to do in real life, or look odd on real humans with human proportions, this makes live action movie adaptations very difficult to pull off. Taking this into consideration, people want movie adaptations of video games to honor the source material by sticking to the character and environmental designs and not overwriting existing stories with its plot. Which is why a number of people simply want a movie version of the plot of the first game in a series. But this just brings up the question: why make a movie in the first place with all these restrictions? Why not just make a remaster of the first game?

>>632 Someone with a twatter account should ask him, >If you believe Valve is justified in banning this material, then why are you translating and publishing it?

>>629 >Nekopara publisher sucks off Steam while they rape his game in approval As an update to this: https://archive.ph/rTYsS <The latest entry in the Nekopara series (an eroge series, with Steam releases being stripped of R18 scenes) has been stuck in approval limbo on Steam for over 40 days, because of course it has. Valve, known for arbitrarily choking out anime-style games, is once again proving it can’t handle a few catgirls in frilly outfits.

I'm going to bump this thread because this seems adjacent. https://nitter.poast.org/IntiCreatesEN/status/1983785693512978786 Inti Creates' Majogami is out but not on Steam >-Notice of delay of Majogami release on Steam- >Dear INTI fans, >We regrettably have encountered a delay in the platform review process on Steam for Majogami's release, intended for 12:00 AM Pacific on October 30th. Releases on other platforms are unaffected. >This is understandably frustrating for players looking forward to the game on Steam, in particular players who have pre-ordered Majogami. We are doing all that we can to release the game as soon as possible. >We will keep you updated on the situation and provide a new release time when possible. >Our sincere apology for this situation, and thanks for your understanding. I hope it's a Blue Archive situation where the release gets cleared past the landwhales, but it's notable given this game is toned down compared to Inti's previous output and it still got flagged. Switching over to other payment processors can't happen fast enough.

Personally, I don't think bringing out the pitchforks like this is going to do much. They'll just try to boil the frog in a longer time frame than now.

Also, the fact that the instruction set is undocumented makes it all the more impressive that the game can even be emulated in the first place.

I love this one. I want to get it again at some point just to play Galaga.

>>1025 That's playable on MAME too, but sounds can't be emulated yet. I actually found a detailed article on it: https://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/2020/06/10/emulating-the-emulators/ The console uses the GPL16250 SoC from Generalplus, which is a subsidiary of Sunplus. They still seem to be around making embedded device stuff.
