>>1242 I think it's simply because it was early in the game and the millenial zeitgeist was yet to establish itself. The term "millenial humor" would not exist without millenials making those jokes in the first place. Also >First released April 1, 2003 It's Gen X making those jokes.

>>1240 >dinoposting Got a chuckle out of me.

>>1262 >4th webm When I was a kid I couldn't for the life of me understand how the GBA card games (or any card game except for UNO) worked even after looking up their walkthroughs. Granted, my reading comprehension and attention span was shit back then. Maybe I should get back to it.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Digimon limited their naming structure to having every single god-damned thing end with -mon? I get it makes it simpler for kids, but Digimon was always a more T-rated Pokemon in the first place, and kids aren't that stupid.

>>1259 On that note, what's the least grindy Digimon game? I played CyberSleuth and it was alright, but I couldn't get into it enough to play the second story.

>>1259 >digimon I'm still mad hearing about the mc getting cucked in the anime (I only watched the first one though) I also heard there was apparently something going on between the mc and his sister. >T-rated I don't think it started out as one, but looking at the newest title it seems to be aiming for a teenage audience. I guess it's just a carryover that fans are used to.

>>1248 I honestly played the PSP and emulate PSP games more than the Vita. I didn't have many games for the Vita when I had one. Really, my father owned all consoles and handhelds in the house and allowed us to use them. The Vita was not among the handhelds he decided to give me when I moved out. I notice a bunch of things in that 2025 chart aren't exclusives. What the are best games that would actually require a Vita or Vita emulation, that is only available for Vita or a console like PS3/PS4 that is difficult or impossible to emulate? I also notice there's a blank Audio field for 95% if the games in the chart. What include it instead of just a note about which games support multiple language audio? 2025 is almost over, so it's a bit late to go back over the list and add audio langauges for every game.

Are there games in the vita? The only thing that I know about it is that Sony released the console and then it immediately died for some reason.

>>1250 >What the are best games that would actually require a Vita or Vita emulation, that is only available for Vita or a console like PS3/PS4 that is difficult or impossible to emulate? Based on the chart and my own knowledge, the best games still exclusive to the Vita and cannot be played anywhere else are: <Bullet Girls (2) (Third-person shooter) <IA/VT: Colorful (Rhythm) <Kan Colle Kai (SRPG) <Killzone: Mercenary (FPS) <Luminous Arc Infinity (SRPG) <Macross Delta Scramble (Flight combat/Third-person shooter) <Madoka Magicka: The Battle Pentagram (Action?) <Net High (Visual novel) <Omega Labyrinth (Rougelike RPG) <Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines (JRPG) <RecoLove (Dating sim) <Soul Sacrifice Delta (ARPG) <Taiko no Tatsujin: V Version (Rhythm) <The IdolM@ster: Must Songs (Rhythm)

>>1252 >About 20-30% of the posts feel like the ones you would find in the blue archive thread. Maybe a number of long time posters have left over the past few months, and the ones replacing them are from halfchan. They venture out of their blue archive thread, or other general threads, but don't bother to put more effort into their posts. This is also why terms like "slop" and "gooner" are more common all across the board. >Also, as of the time of writing this, he's remade the gamergate thread because he didn't like it, and he's actively deleting posts in the new one. It seems like the new (but deleted) GamerGate thread was Mario Anniversary themed. While I personally wasn't around to see that thread before it got deleted, one of the replies in the replacement GG thread explains that he felt that the Mario thread was "baiting a reaction." This is very similar to his reason for deleting the Playstation Anniversary thread due to "console war baiting." https://archive.ph/n29nn#selection-1715.1-1715.37 Even though Mark made this reply, it was deleted along with a couple others. It seems like he wants to erase any evidence that a thread was deleted and what his reasoning was. Personally, I think it was more likely that he was butthurt about someone mentioning him by name along with cake in the NEW THREAD announcement at the end of the last GG thread. https://archive.is/Vrn6X#selection-55919.0-55919.237 All that aside, he also puts little care into making these new threads. He didn't even try to think of a joke or pun or anything creative for the theme. He didn't update the Ongoing Discussions section besides adding in one news story. And he didn't even add in "Edition" at the end of the title, despite that being tradition since the start.

>>1254 >felt like it was baiting a reaction And he took the bait by reacting to it. Truly, a masterwork of political maneuvering and de-escalation. Applause all around. Bravo.

>>1255 He's doing ten times more damage than these supposed anti-nintendo bad actors have ever done. That's the most ironic part. If they even exist, now they just have to sit back and watch the show as he ruins things all on his own. Thankfully, some anons are willing to talk about vidya elsewhere.

>>1227 >he paid launch price >he bought a new console Only time you should ever buy a new console is if it's already hackable

>>1227 >reading all those insane Switch 2 panic headlines What headlines?

>>1232 I'd guess things like , >Switch 2 further pushing physical download codes/game unlocking keys instead of either full games on cartidges, or even just full digital games that don't require the cartridge. >Super special propriety usb-c ports that fuck up 95% of third party peripherals, which also blindsided manufactures of these peripherals And I can't remember what else.

>>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.

>>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.
