This used to be a console exclusive (PS3/X360), but it's out already on PC along with those other new consoles (no word on Steam Deck support yet). There's supposedly no censorship, but the licensed music and DLC are removed. Discuss the gameplay, plot, and more here.

How important are aesthetics to you in games? It's common to hear people say graphics don't matter. While I don't care about graphical fidelity or polygon count, art style and music are very important to me, depending on the genre. For a genre like strategy games, they're not that important, but for something like shmups or beat-em-ups they're probably at least 50% of the reason why I play them if I'm being honest.

Dead of Winter edition (previous thread: https://archive.fo/oAqCK) What are you guys emulating right now, and on what platforms? What's the best emulators and romsites? Any good romhacks you would recommend? Emulation wiki https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page In other news... The pedofurs at romhacking.net have finally fucked up badly enough to convince the guy who runs CDromance to shit out his own. Their latest crimes include closing the homebrew section to new submissions and disabling all downloads for a week because of "scraping".

Murder Miners X, a sequel to Murder Miners, a Minecraft/Halo hybrid from 2013, is getting raided by evil Girl Gamers after .mp4 related got shared on /r/Gamergirls Anon, are you a bad enough dude to save your faceless wife? https://archive.is/HBCni https://store.steampowered.com/app/274900/Murder_Miners/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/668900/Murder_Miners_X/ For any anon who wants a copy of the original Murder Miners, post your Steam ID and I'll gift it to you. Maybe we can organize a gamenight, maybe a raid on the reddit faggots. I'm just so fucking sick of this shit, even the most obscure things get ravaged by these politically motivated retards.

/v/ I'm here to say after playing it via emulation of the Switch version that Unicorn Overlord is a masterpiece , 10/10 and as the kids would say GOAT. If not for the fact Elden Meme's DLC is coming out and the potential of Metaphor: ReFantazio, I would say this is JPRG of 2024 hands fucking down. This might even surpass Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir , Dragon's Crown and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim as Vanillaware's best game, it's that fucking good. <But anon you just spend the first bit of this post practically on the knees sucking it off why are you saying not buy it? The localisation of this game is not great and if you're a Vanillaware fag like I am you should not support the English version of this game period, if you want to support Vanillaware go buy a JP copy of this from Amazon jp or other moon storefront. Yes it's not totally pozzed like say FE or others have been but it still changes the tone and intent of the game >WHO CARES IF THE DIALOGUE IS FLOWERY ANON? You should care as it's still an alter of the original work and an utter disrespect of Vanillaware >WHERE IS THE PC VERSION YOU NIGGER? There is none as for whatever reason the CEO of Vanillware is super butthurt towards PC as platform, which is a shame as the mods of this game would be amazing and patches to unfuck the localisation would also be very welcomed. I think this would've added another 500k sales or even more if it was on steam as let's face it consoles are pretty much dying, even in Japan PC has gotten pretty big (not big enough where it's fully taken over like the west and Slavland), even Atlus was scratching their heads on why Vanillaware asked them to not allow a PC version. >DOES THIS GAME HAVE WAIFUS? Yes it does and they are all amazing but if you're a hag lover like myself Yahna is best girl. >WHERE CAN ONE EUMLATE IT? Ryujinx is what I used and I'm unsure if there are others, so perhaps a kind anon could correct me. <Closing notes If you're looking for something that beats modern FE(FE: Three Houses wasn't too bad but I understand why people might not care for it) this next to StellaGlow will fill that Strategy JRPG niche. How many hours you anons put into it and and who were your favourites? Also SCARLETT A SHIT!

If you're unaware, the Sony-backed GaaS Concord just launched to an astounding 660 peak players. Not 6600, but six hundred and sixty-six. Currently sitting at 407. This is a flop on a level that is genuinely astounding. Battleborn launched to 12000~ players, LawBreakers launched to 7579. Gollum launched to 768. This game was in development for eight years, is getting an episode on the upcoming Secret Level show, and had a budget estimated at well over $100,000,000. All of that to hit a peak player count rivalling Far Cry Primal on a random Monday. The game didn't even enter Steam's top 500 and is about to drop out of the top 1000. It's a failure the likes of which I can only compare to The Culling 2. I would not be surprised if this game ended Sony's live service ambitions here and now, this is nearly unprecedented in the AAA space.

Last thread was bumped off but nobody made another one Last thread >>955993

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.

WAKE THE FUCK UP OTAKU IT'S CIRNO TIME

Let's talk about isekai in video games before isekai was totally ruined by a terrible but inexplicably popular work in 2012. >Final Fantasy Tactics Advance A bunch of kids are sucked into a fantasy world by a magic book, with the weak bullied kid being its ruler. Every character (except some bullies, but their cursed existence in the new world is something only a very observant player will ever notice is a thing) has a genuinely better life within this book so the main character decides to destroy the world and restore the original. The game is legendary for how poorly developed his motivations are, and how the plot sucks from it, and how it (and the law system) ruin the otherwise sold gameplay >Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Sequel to above. Another kid (just the one) is sucked into the same fantasy world. Plot is pretty aimless and mostly him witnessing other people's story and waiting for stuff to happen around him, but it's not the actively broken >Summon Night Japanese high school girl winds up in fantasy world populated primarily by natives of other worlds who have been one way summoned to the world. All future games in the franchise drop the idea of having the main character being from Earth, but do have some random characters who were summoned from it. >Baten Kaitos Unusual execution where the player is summoned to the game's world as a spirit to help guide the main character. The games actually do a lot of interesting things with the framing device. Pretty solid jRPGs with interesting battle systems and worth a play. Don't play the HD re-release because a tranny re-localized it to death. >every Alice in Wonderland/Wizard of Oz game I'm not aware of any that are particularly interesting in execution, but there's a few dozen of these and I mention them for completion.

Gamebanana has few mods that aren't gay, nobody has yet leaked the good sockpoppet / hazelderp models. The total conversion he is working on will probably get a c&d before it ever sees the light of day.
