>>1715452 i don't think he's niggerpill, he's likely some smegma snorter from quarterdoublechan
I recently did some reasearch on the mythology of witches for creative writing, and something that came up constantly was that witches had red hair and green eyes. Another one that was known throughout many ancient cultures was left-handedness. I am sure nobody really thought about what hand Vivian James considers her dominant hand at the time, but I think it would be interesting if she actually was meant to resemble something akin to the traditional witch, representing the witch hunt of gamergate. Admittedly, this would only be known by persons from her inception, but if that was not the case, then it is an interesting coincidence, at least.

Seems like I gave in and bought the 1TB MicroSD Express from Lexar (never had an experience with this brand, only Sandisk and Samsung so far) to replace my 256GB card. I won't have to worry about storage space while installing shit like Project Diva (which costs nearly 50GB) and awaiting for the big Switch 2 ports such as Elden Ring and Yakuza Kiwami 2. >>1700611 The main game was mostly easy to be fair, outside of some bosses and challenge trials that required a bit more thinking, but it's fun because you just unga bunga your way through like you'd expect a big gorilla to do. The elephant power is probably the most busted transformation, since you can suck in everything like a vacuum (except metal) and earn a lot of money in the process. I also learned the director of Bananza is an ex-employee of SEGA (2003 ~ 2015) and Square-Enix (2015 ~ 2020), Kazuya Takahashi, who worked on The House of the Dead 4 and Nights Into Dreams. During its days at Squeenix, he only participated for Final Fantasy 15 and received special thanks for Forspoken, so it looks like Nintendo made better use of his talent by comparison. >>1701282 For third-parties, they're essentially NSW2 ports with the possibility to upgrade from a previously owned Switch 1 version (although it's not the case for everything, especially with Sega) For Nintendo games, they're either free upgrades that take advantage of the features from the new console or paid expansions containing extra game contents. >>1709160 >To anyone who has Kirby Forgotten Lands: Is the Switch 2 upgrade required to get the better frame rate? I only own the base game for now so yes, the Switch 2 upgrade needs to be bought in order to get the 60fps bump (alongside of the new levels). Otherwise, it's still the 30fps cap on Switch 2.
>>1715018 >the Switch 2 upgrade needs to be bought in order to get the 60fps bump Well that sucks.

Metal Gear Solid Anonymous 04/22/2025 (Tue) 16:46:57 Id: 207b17 No. 1212615 [Reply] [Last]
What happened to this franchise? It was once upon a time a very popular and beloved series. Did a zombie game really ruin their momentum? Or was it Hideo Kojima leaving? I have a lot of great memories playing these games and the only thing they released in the past 7 years are remasters. The remaster collection did great but I can't see why they couldn't make another solid (what a great joke lmao) game in the series for modern fans. If you ever played MGS1 on the Playstation 1, there was nothing like it. No doubt it catapulted the PS1 to levels it never would have done otherwise.

>>1692623 No, it's Guy Savage.
>>1715225 iirc, in the overarching story, the dystopian AI hellhole shown in 2 and 4 pretty much IS SIGINT's fault. Zero has the idea for information control and suppression, and that was done by *people* in MSGV to obscure the fact that Big Boss lived through the attack on the first MB. During that, Skull Face tortured the information of Zero's real whereabouts - Hell's Kitchen - to deliver him a package with a parasite infestation that nearly kills him on the spot. He's able to hit a panic button before falling unconscious, but his faculties slowly decline even after he's rescued. After he recovers enough to make decisions, he passes Cipher's control over to SIGINT and commissions the Patriot AI to handle information control, and pretty much just waits for death while lamenting Big Boss' near death and the schism they had over Les Infants Terribles. SIGINT develops the AI into something completely autonomous, but it also exists to propagate itself. SIGINT is a nigger. He's smart, but he did not have the forethought to realize that a self-propogating information control system would fall into information control loops that would lead to war as a commodity and the war economy. War is profitable, war keeps the information machine relevant, therefore pockets of war were constantly popping up around the world, exacerbated by the Sons of the Patriots system. There's a human element to control that he missed entirely, which Big Boss saw pretty clearly before his final defeat at Zanzibarland. This is also one of six founders of a shadow group that effectively controls the world - and in a period of slow worldwide demilitarization, was either bribed or in total agreement with the Metal Gear REX project. Ironically, that period in history was the closest that Cipher/the Patriots came to realizing the Boss' dream of a unified world.

Most Obscure Game >(You) Personally Know Anonymous 05/30/2025 (Fri) 01:56:23 Id: 1eef7b No. 1416920 [Reply] [Last]
There are countless strange games out in the ether, most of them lost to time but a good portion saved by virtue of autistic retards the world over. Titles you've probably tossed your glance past at Gamestop or Best Buy years maybe even decades ago, or scrolled past without a second thought through a Steam sale at -95% off. Myabandonware has a ton of them, and whatever you might think of GoG they at least seem intent of picking up whatever old or forgotten games they can get their hands on to re-release for modern audiences. I watch a lot of Youtube channels and (((video essays))) about obscure games, so I'm no stranger to a lot of them: Mizzurna Falls (proto-Deadly Premonition), E.V.O.: Search for Eden (proto-Spore), Garage: Bad Dream Adventure (proto-Jap/Slavjank?), Hellnight (proto... Resident Evil 3, sort of?), and countless others. They all seem to shine a little bit more of a light on the thought process of early game devs, or help to elucidate how trends and concepts have shifted and changed over the years, adapting to changing technology and the ever shifting target of what makes a game "good" or even "successful." If nothing else, it's fun to see how the seeds of future classics were present years before their release in some odd off-the-wall title probably forgotten by most. Inevitably, though, there are always more games yet to be unearthed, titles yet to be revealed to the masses, whether they're old 3DO or Dreamcast titles never localized, limited-run PC games from companies who had their lives cut short, or simply some odd concept that managed to fly under the radar for decades after release. You can only play so many games in one lifetime, and honestly the best way to learn about truly unique or obscure things is by word of mouth. Which is why I ask you... What is the most obscure game you know of?

Video game tropes that you dislike and why. Anonymous 07/20/2025 (Sun) 20:47:50 Id: 3ddd73 No. 1586479 [Reply] [Last]
I hate this trope where any creatures are a byproduct, feeds and is affected by the human mind. It worked on gods for numerous reasons, but there's no reason to add that to cryptic's akin to a mothman, a kappa or a fucking goblin, being created by humanity's (un)conciousness or some dumb shit. Because by that, you can basically turn them into anything you want as long as you have a fine sized community who shares the same thoughts as you i.e porno, there's no real characteristics or anything interesting about it outside of some psudo-psychologist nerds on Reddit tells you so. Since they're preset anyway. It's worse if said creatures have personalities and their own society, culture, even religion and mythology. Imagine being infested in their world for a really long time, that in the end it's all fake, and I don't mean if it's real or not. It's as bad as "It's all a dream, bro". A huge cop out because hack writers have no idea what they should do with their settings anymore. So instead they choose the safest option. And it's not just any of these stuff I said above. If you make a "big plot twist" on a already established settings then it automatically turns into dogshit. For example: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.

>>1596490 If it's to force backtracking for no reason, it's boring. It didn't belong in Souls and I'm glad they got rid of it from Demon's to Dark Souls. But if it's to create challenge by having the player deal with limited resources before they can resupply, it's good.
>>1712496 If anything those actually have some imagination, it's the drones that consune nothing but the trendy thing in a pathetic attempt to fit in with the masses that state that kind of shit, and unfortunately there's shittons of them working in vidya companies nowadays.
>>1713745 >the game also offers you the Mercy option Yes, but the entire point is how the entire thing is built with the tone of the creator being a smartass and making fun out of you for playing games normally as if that makes him this intellectual genius, when basically everything in the game points you towards just killing things that try to kill you first. It's was a boring meta commentary back then, it's still a boring meta commentary nowadays, especially when you consider that the monsters openly attack you and tumblr sucked this game off to the point of exhaustion as if they're brilliant and toby fox is the second coming of jesus christ. Fucking bioshock had a more sensible approach to give you an open option to either be evil or be good, and it still fell into the most classic blunder of all morality dichotomies in video-games which is >being good actually reaps you the most rewards which is blatantly false in real life and entirely defeats the purpose of pretty much all moral/ethical dilemmas presented in video-games. Being good is meant to be annoying, a pain in the ass, and basically unrewarding in the short-term that games happen, if at all. Evil should be the default path, the easy and simple way out of shit is just to shoot them, and it should also be the most rewarding in pure resources, only then that would be an actual moral dilemma. In most video-games with choices, being the "good guy" when you have the option to be evil is the most rewarding path in pretty much all ways which is absurdly unrealistic and utterly annoying.

>>1714605 A bitter ex-writer said that to stir up drama, the character in question is not. She (Rivet) is implied to be with Ratchet in the credit sequence. I can't believe this is still being relitigated 3 years later. There's a lot of drama around the person who said that and it seems she's been blacklisted from the industry since, if you've ever heard anything about Rivet being lesbian or trans, it's bullshit. It's possible Rivet was queer during an earlier draft of the story, but that's irrelevant as the game was completely rewritten by Lauren Mee and the Folkman brothers.
>>1234654 I know I'm four months late, but I forgot Full Frontal Assault even had multiplayer. Not like I had anyone to play it with. It's not at all nearly impossible to beat Single Player. Don't go in expecting a normal Ratchet game, expect a tower defence focus and a shorter game (as it was sold as a budget game). But it works fine for what it is, and you don't need multiplayer at all. All 4 One suffers more if you don't have multiplayer, but it's still very playable and beatable in single player, too. >>1245010 He has his own levels in Secret Agent Clank, and All 4 One is basically about him. He became the President (in the comic book) and it's about that. And of course he's playable. Yeah, he's a buffoon, but he also seems competent enough to be respected. And of course it's commentary on things like the Governator, but he's still a good guy. >>1249848 The redesign was clearly done for SJW reasons, and clearly done to Tawna because SJWs were offended by her being hot, which is why she was removed in the first place.

The rules 'may be treated more flexibly here, but please take care not to make a mess and don't be a retard. Rules: 1. The lounge is a shared community with /v/.

Discussion should pertain to /v/-type content only, such as funposting about video games, more video games, industry matters, and gamer™ interests. Colouring outside the lines MAY be okay, however posters do so at their own risk with the understanding that said posts might be moderated without forewarning at any time.

>>1713625 Hmmm, I might make a thread alright, thanks for the advices, anon! It's worth a shot trying to get discussion running.
>>1713686 Another way you could do the OP, is to talk what you generally like about the Mario series, some of your favorite games, what elements they have in common, what games you think are not that good(excluding spin-offs like those Mario educational games) and so on. Of course there are other ways of making good OPs, these are some suggestions, not rules, but again if you have something to say about Mario, then I am sure you can write more than one sentence. Another thing to keep in mind, is that in the beginning you will have to spend some extra effort nurturing the thread, as in try to give replies to the first few posters in your thread with the same ID as your OP(so don't immediately change your IP). This will show that you are willing to have a discussion with anons, and after 10-20 posts the thread will have a life of it's own, and it's ok to switch your IP if you really don't like the ID system. In the past I have mocked some OPs that were just "What do you think of X game?" with no other replies from OP in the thread, and besides calling it a ">(1) and done", I might also ask OP "What do (You) think of X?", either to show people that OP is not willing to engage in the discussion, or maybe even give Op the chance to actually participate in the discussion. I think this is more of a mentality thing, the OP isn't meant to just be a lobby you opened, and people will just participate due to induced demand, but more of a conversation that you are interested in starting, and willing to engage with. I know I wrote a lot, and might seem like making a good OP is hard science, so I will reduce it to "Talk passionately about what you like, and engage with other anons about your passion".
>>1713704 (NTA) Some completely unsolicited advice: a lot of the time it doesn't matter what the OP is as long as it provides enough to springboard a conversation off of. Ex: call it a Mario thread and have the OP be all about how Sunshine is your favorite in the series and why you wish Nintendo made a sequel, that way there's already a direct conversation to reply to/argue for or against and anyone who wants to post about Mario can contribute since it's the subject anyway. Just talk about what you want to talk about, but show that there's at least some thought and effort behind it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3620480/Palworld_More_Than_Just_Pals/ Yesterday we got an development update to the Palworld dating sim, several new Pals shown and the launch of the Steam page. Still no ETA unfortunately. The female Chillet is the little sister of the blue guy shown earlier

>>1653632 Realistically, wouldn't this weaken Nintendo's case? By allowing blatant ripoffs, they can't complain about Palworld. Any mechanic Palland uses can't be claimed by Nintendo as a patent, otherwise the judge might ask "why didn't you sue these people, if you're suing Palworld"? Yes, I know patent holders are allowed to pick and choose who they sue, but it still makes Nintendo look bad.

Games suffering from NSTFU syndrome (Never-Shutting-The-Fuck-Up) Anonymous 08/27/2025 (Wed) 14:00:06 Id: 0ba501 No. 1697108 [Reply] [Last]
This doesn't mean games that have a lot of dialogue or large dialogue trees, like New Vegas or Disco Elysium. We're talking games with the characters will not stop talking. Constant banter, verbose conversations, quippy dialogue, characters explaining and repeating what to do next; commenting on everything they see/think, puzzles being explained before you even grasp them, and so on. Suffering from NSTFU syndrome doesn't mean a game is necessarily even bad, but the writing is often be the worst part of them.

>>1714052 The series picked up a new writer. Oddly, a bunch of the original devs are still there: Brian Allgeier, Gregory Baldwin, Tom Barlow, Chad Dezern, Kevin Grow, if you look through the credits of the first few games you'll see a lot of people in the credits for Rift Apart. I'd say the biggest felt loss was David Bergeaud, the composer, but the music gets immediately better in the first game he left. Quest For Booty was his last Ratchet game and its soundtrack was more completely uninteresting orchestral "cinematic" slop.
I just realized we actually have a R&C thread that's been disused. >>1233432 Feel free to revive it.

I haven't seen a thread discussing stylish action for a while, let's change that. Honestly I was kinda disappointed with Bayonetta 3, it wasn't nearly as good as the previous two games and I feel basically killed the series seeing as Kamiya left Platinum in order to work at Hamster probably. Still, it's kinda sad that Bayonetta was destined to die a mediocre death. That said as for Bayonetta's twin IP Astral Chain, apparently Nintendo completely owns the rights to that IP now, so hopefully we can see them develop the sequel in house since I would love to see how Nintendo tackles these kinds of games. Other than a few indie games, there's not really much going on with the genre. The Genokids demo was top notch and I highly recommend everyone here give it a chance, but other than that I'm waiting to hear about some surprise hits like Hi-Fi Rush since that was an extremely pleasant surprise and was actually did better than both Microsoft and Bethesda expected it to be. So hopefully we'll see a new Hi-Fi Rush in the future. Other than that, I'm sure Capcom is gonna remake DMC1 or DMC3 at some point in the near future, and like I said before Hi-Fi Rush did surprisingly well. So I strongly doubt the genre is dead, but that it usually takes a bit to get one of these games off the ground since Souls is the hot sauce these days. Still, what cuhrayzee games are you playing right now /v/? I'm going through Ninja Gaiden and God Hand myself, enjoying them as always.

>>1683318 The truth is most people are uneducated, unread, and/or just straight up lazy. In an age where we have all of human knowledge available at our fingertips, no less. >We may be the dumbest generation in human history.
>>1697732 >“Before you realized you are working on making Devil May Cry 6 or 7. It’s not like I don’t want to make them, I do, but it’s hard to balance the time it takes with the personal satisfaction of making them and with Devil May Cry 5 and Dragon’s Dogma 2 I already did what I wanted to make.” This isn't new, he expressed this 6 years ago in a documentary. https://youtu.be/XcYWxnDJcho?t=1773 I can't imagine that it's not more urgent for him now given what has happened in the 2020s so far and Capcom sidelining him twice while making him the fall guy in the company again. Everything basically rides on his new game reputation-wise so we'll see what happens. But I am not going to write him off that soon like you will because I have enjoyed the experiences he delivered when he had the resources.
>>1705862 Reputation wise, he's already made some of the best action and fighting games out there. I think even if the new game is a fluke that Itsuno has proven himself to be one of the greats.
