What do you think of the Ratchet and Clank series /v/? What is your favourite and least favourite game? My favourite is Up Your Arsenal and my least favourite is Full Frontal Assault.

The good old genre that codified a lot of game design practices (both good and bad) and was probably the first type of game a lot of people actually played. >What point and click games have you played? >What was your favorite? >Have you played anything recently? >What do you think is most important in one: art, story, music, design? >Are there any you'd recommend playing? >Are point and clicks a dying genre? Will we see another wave of them soon? Is there any experimentation that could be done with their design? >Do you think Tim Schafer will ever escape his legacy of being a washed up has-been? Point and click games are fun and I love them, but they sort of feel the same way books do to me. I'll sit down to play one every once in a while but only if I'm in the mood to pay attention to one long narrative and commit myself to it for a good chunk of time, not whittle away at it over weeks or months. I've actually been watching a lot of longer-form videos about the King's Quest and other Sierra games, and it might be because I'm on the younger side but it's crazy how big games like these were before console gaming dominated the market. Besides Broken Age headed by Mr. Shitface, point and click games have pretty universally become a genre solely for indie devs and smaller studios. There was a bit of a resurgence in the mid-2010s around the time that game came out but they're far, far less common now. Starting this off by posting some of my favorites, mainly for their art, writing and humor. I'm not actually sure if difficulty is something a lot of people look for in point and click games, especially since most of the time the more difficult ones are that way purely by frustrating design. The King's Quest games basically started the "save early, save often" meme but endless trial and error isn't exactly difficult in the same way a logic puzzle or brain teaser is. Are there any out there that do something similar to the Silent Hill games, where each puzzle section basically has its own unique puzzle to solve based on the difficulty you've chosen?

Holy fuck it even includes Renegade And they're still uploading, hopefully C&C3 next. >You will live to play SAGE C&C games at more than 30 FPS What a time to be alive! https://github.com/electronicarts/

Dragon's Dogma Online was a free to play MMO, it played a lot like DDDA but with some changes and limitations expected from a MMO meant to run on the PS3, but there was still a lot to see and do in this game, plenty of content, enemy variety, vocations, etc. Dragon's Dogma Online was shut down a long time ago but there's an ongoing restoration effort and a lot of progress has been achieved in the last months, the game is playable and a lot of quests and features have been restored, however there's still a significant amount of things to restore, despite that there's enough content here to keep you busy for months. Currently there's 2 private servers one can play on, ddon.org and dogmarising.org, for the most part dogmarising.org will offer you a better and smoother experience but ddon.org does have a bit more people. >Wanna play Dragon's Dogma Online? Click here: https://pastebin.com/779hUvtH >DDON Beginner's guide https://pastebin.com/EqbBYnVe Recent-ish changes/restored game features (these will/should apply to all private servers) >Job Masters have been implemented, all Arisen Skills and Augments will be unequipped, reset and JP have been refunded, Pawns' skills and augments are unequipped but they get to keep whatever they had unlocked before, talk to Renton at Relay Station District for Tutorial and Seeking Job Masters Quests. >Area Trials for Phindym have been added, Caution spots will be added later for S2 maps. >Achievements, Arisen Room Customization and Furniture Crafting are now available.

Move out! Anyway. Let's have fun discussing the Advance Wars series ITT and show the Fire Emblem fags who's the best actual strategy game. Also, I heavily suggest playing on AWBW (Advance Wars By Web) for multiplayer. The game gets really deep when you climb above 1200 Elo. I'd like to play some huge games with you sometimes. That's my piece folks. https://awbw.amarriner.com/

InZoi thread since it's somehow the only game I'm currently excited about. Basically it's The Sims, but Korean.

Welp, they're officially remaking Postal 2 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/postal2redux/postal-2-redux >as of this post, $170,560 pledged of $250,000 goal >It's finally time to relive a week in the life of The POSTAL Dude, a hapless everyman just trying to check off some chores. POSTAL 2 Redux is a ground-up revival of the filthiest sandbox on Earth: sharper, louder, bloodier, and finally arriving on modern consoles. If you wanted tasteful restraint, you backed the wrong campaign. Same POSTAL. New engine. Zero apologies. <What's New >A modern backbone. We’re hauling POSTAL 2 into Unity so it runs perfectly on modern hardware. This gives us the ability to have completely scalable requirements. Basically, for every platform this comes to it will look as good as it can for the hardware. >Loading Zones, begone! Paradise streams in as you walk. No more load screens. Just roam and ruin. >A complete graphical upgrade. Higher‑resolution textures, upgraded shaders and materials and lighting make every billboard, back alley, and biohazard pop. >Guns with bite. Balancing the combat based on community feedback. Weapons are being rebuilt to hit harder, punch through flesh, and send bodies flopping with proper ragdolls. You’ll feel the boom. >Check out my insides. Shipping malls, restaurants, offices, arcades—stuffed with destructible props. Let loose and see the World explode in front of your eyes. >Crowds that find trouble faster. Civilians still snitch and cops still overreact, but smarter pathing means they get to the chaos quicker and make it messier when they do. >Champ gets promoted from mascot to menace. Pet him, point him, weaponize him. Man’s best friend finally acts like it. >Built to break out of the PC cage. Targeting PC and modern consoles so Paradise can spread its disease broadly and legally. >Quality of life, everywhere. Widescreen done right, modern inputs, fewer crashes, smarter UI—the boring necessities so the fun stuff can be loud.

Monsters and Memories is an upcoming MMORPG which is, as described the game's developers, a love letter to Everquest. A classic style MMORPG with camp grinding, zone lines, trains, corpse runs, slow combat, reliance on other players, obtuse and lengthy quest lines, secrets, long reputations grinds, massive cities, etc, etc. The game is currently set to release in "early access" (more on this below) during Q1 2026, with the devs trying to push for a January 2026 release. The devs are currently finalizing a few more core systems before they can launch into closed beta. There is an upcoming open 10 day test starting on November 1st. <Features >Monthly 15$ dollar subscription >fresh modules every 3 to 4 months including new zones and potentially new classes, races, professions, etc >trained in-game GMs that actually understand and write English >large zones that can currently hold up to 500 or so players before things get laggy >tons of dungeons both, coming in in all sizes, and with tons of secrets to discover >a MUD system where you can use commands to interact with the environment and NPCs, stuff like /inpsect barrel, /pry gem (while holding an object capable of prying on your cursor), /taste liquid, /pull rope, etc, etc >mount system where you can tame or buy mounts and use them as either beasts of burden or as rideable mounts; equip them with bags or armour depending on your needs >multiple types of server including box, no-box, enforced RP, and PvP; potentially more exotic servers depending on player demand >religion system with a pantheon of gods to choose from, able to change religions, gain boons and abilities from your god, convert others >starting cities for EVERY SINGLE RACE (currently Human and Half-Elf cities are in, Deep Elf city coming in the first post-launch module) <Design tenets

So what's all this then? Some crazy Jap made a porn game about raping girls in a dungeon; Fans added their favorite characters to the game. Some autist added all of the Touhou characters. Some other autist patched on a strategy wargame so that the Touhou characters are now commanders leading armies to conquer Gensokyo (and you can also rape them in a dungeon). The game is actually pretty good, and I'm gonna play it (again) with a few of my own patches. Let us generate a new character for the player...

Not sure if anyone here is interested in discussing this here and the other thread on half are decent usually but giving it a shot. Steam Next is a Steam event that involves games that have yet to release putting out a demo for the public to try during this short time to promote and garner interest. If you have any games you want to promote or are making yourself, please post them here as this is basically the replacement for the demo days. https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest here are some games listed by Anon for you to try. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1820000/Homura_Hime/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2313700/Constance/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2991310/Eternal_Palace_Sakura/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3072510/NeverAwake_FLASHBACK/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3894600/Saga_of_Yurina/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3897100/Sniperbot_The_Hype_Game/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2154070/INDUSTRIA_2/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2789640/Souls_of_Chronos_Gaiden/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1920290/Barkour/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3737620/MarisaReturnTheBook/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3837380/Majogami/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3283860/REPEATER/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3435360/Bullet_Coven/

Should 90’s style platformers make some sort of comeback revival? I feel like the audience is there for new mascots or even revisiting old ones.

It's like smash bros but a battle royale. It sounds exciting. Heck you could make your own character and their special moveset or weapons could could be classified into two classes. Melee weapons(Normal attacks) and familiar weapon(special attacks). Would that be a great idea?

Last one is bumplocked and at Page 10
