>>1910610 Oh yeah, Microsoft ruined console gaming, financed the AAA studios you see today and almost killed PC gaming. There's a reason 7th Gen was so cancerous and that's because they had outcompeted Sony for several years, and that enough was all it was needed for Sony to try to catch up and for devs to suck their cock and push what they told them to. Sonys been copying every cancerous decision Microshart has done since and are about to fall into the same abyss they did but without a comfy matress filled with money to break their fall. >>1910709 What do you mean? The third party scene has been pretty healthy these last couple of years. If you mean the Japanese AA third party scene, then yeah, diminishing returns were already killing them by the dozens, during the PS3 days. The move to commiefornia just sealed their fate. However, plenty are still around, get more popular or are created, better quality too, I don't think many people give a shit about Mindjack, Inversion or NeverDead.

>>1910321 Backwards compatibility/emulation would be great on next gen consoles as long as they don't paywall it like Jewtendo did. Unfortunately due to greed it likely would be.

>>1922635 I don't think they can paywall it. For their own emulators on their own consoles, maybe, but if it's a Windows 11 box then they're not going to be able to stop you from just installing them like you would on your PC. Unless they highly restrict the OS access - in which case, what's the fucking point then? It's just an Xbox One/Series running in Dev Mode. It's not going to move the needle against SteamOS. Besides, if they allow Steam, Retroarch and Lewd games come as part of that package.

>>1917192 >>1918369 IIRC the earliest builds had a more inefficient boil effect and probably something with the images. The warning was probably more for the portion of their audience who only play vns and had older/weaker rigs.

New Inazuma Eleven is out for preorder pigs. Videos show English translation is trannyfied, changing Japanese word for "sex" into "style". You can report it as a bug and see if that gets anything. https://secure.level5.co.jp/inquiry/support/inazuma-victory-road/en/

>>1922455 The only sane thing you could do is report the bad translation as a bug.

>>1922507 That's what I did. Did it in both English and Nipponese (/jp/).

>go to cuckchan on a whim >see thread for the new ninja gaiden >enter >most of it is just arguing over the opinion of e-celebs This shit is infuriating, at least "people" aren't hiding the fact that they just parrot the opinion of YouTubers. Why is it so hard to find people who just wanna talk about video games? The same shit happened last year with Sparking Zero. Are games really that baren now that all disccuion of them has to be about external things?

Sakurai did it again. Chuddy thinks it's better than the original

>>1912123 It would seem so.

>>1912123 >>1913460 Post Rouge, I'm sure the thread will be more lively then for some reason.

>>1899562 >when it's a post-apocalyptic dystopia or whatever Funnily enough with the stuff from SatAM felt like fanfiction when you put it that way. Sure, it had great characters and characterizations, but in the end of the day the worldbuilding is a furry colony, instead of having a natural line where any animal could co-exist just fine (especially humanity). Archie Sonic made it obvious for better and worse. Now, the idea of a post-apocalypse setting is a good idea on a different franchise. Especially when the world building isn't it's main focus.

>>1917127 This is why Sonic the Hedgehog is BASED

Tangential, but there's a website listing each time Nintendo did some sort of shady stuff now: https://www.suedbynintendo.com/ It includes content lockdowns and times when legal action was threatened as well.

>>1921294 My favorite is still the one where they shut down every single Japanese videogame bar/cafe because they were using Nintendo products without a license.

>>1919403 >I didn't think randomizing dungeons would be that bad. Call me when you do Entrance Rando lol. How familiar are you with ALTTP's mechanics and checks, though? Cause to me, ALTTP is surprisingly easy in a rando setup, it's also easy to keep track of when you know where to look and when since there are a TON checks just lying around, specially Kakariko and Death Mountain. Also, Judging by the crystal count, I'm assuming you're playing Ganon, right? I normally played Triforce Hunt cause it's more fun; you should give it a try if you haven't. >While randomizing bomb bag wasn't that obstructive in retrospect What do you mean randomizing Bomb bag? Bomb bag isn't even an item in ALTTP, as you get bombs very freely throughout. >At least I got a good laugh out of Palace of Darkness only being three easy rooms. How? Would you elaborate?

>>1909225 Echoes of Wisdom had a couple.

>>1919645 >Call me when you do Entrance Rando lol. That was also applied, I'm usually pretty good at crosskeys. >I normally played Triforce Hunt cause it's more fun; you should give it a try if you haven't. I've always found triforce hunt to be pretty boring, especially since the game itself is so short. I might do that if I ever end up doing nightmare settings, though. I already struggled a bit to beat Ganon swordless (used 2 potions), so there's no way I'll be able to do that with 8 hearts, no armor and just a hammer. >What do you mean randomizing Bomb bag? Bomb bag isn't even an item in ALTTP, as you get bombs very freely throughout. >How? Would you elaborate? Oh yeah, I probably should've specified. I'm using a special randomizer external to the main website. It lets me randomize pots, shops, enemy key drops, and even the dungeon layouts themselves. It basically takes every supertile and re-stitches the external doorways to other supertiles. I also set it so that my default bomb capacity is at 0 and I have to find more bomb storage to use bombs. Kinda wish it also had a proper enemizer that lets me randomize ALL enemy drops, but I couldn't find one online.

>>1924982 Nah, when cuckchan came here for a couple weeks the quality actually improved because they drowned out the 3 schizophrenic shitposters that make up 80% of the posts here.

>>1910939 True comics nerds know DC has never truly been rebooted. Final Crisis didn't even pretend to be a reboot, it just had a name that sort of implied it. New 52 was marketed as a reboot a couple of years later, but Batman and Green Lantern just continued their years long epic arcs that drew from all continuity ever, and even other things that felt almost rebooted, like Swamp Thing, Superman, and Hawkman, actually follow directly from their previous stories too. It just so happened their previous stories happened to lead to decent jumping off points, except for the fact that the very first issues reference things like The Death of Superman and the fact that the original Swamp Thing still existed and wasn't actually Alec Holland. So yes, all the crazy lore makes things confusing, but I think if you look at it purely for the art, then you can say it's the viewer's fault for not being knowledgeable enough. But if you want to make money, then obviously it should be more accessible, like it used to be in the '70s. I still say that was the sweet spot for comics using continuity but not needing you to be an immense autist.

>>1916079 Well of course but you can say the same for marvel. >new 52 You remember when the new superman did so bad they just outright replaced with the old one? That was fun >But if you want to make money, then obviously it should be more accessible Thats all contingent on good writers though, its been nothing but rage baiting for a decade and im just tired of it.

>>1910939 >I want a good original capeshit game so bad but there isn't a single damn one. Well there is that new dispatch game people are talking about. But that is a telltale style story game.

What are some actually good third-person shooters, /v/? I know of Max Payne and Ratchet but 90% of TPS I know of are 1: The worst waist-high walls and strawberry jam damage indicator dudebro shit, like Gears of War. 2: Genre blends, being primarily the other genre its blended with, like Hitman and Mass Effect.

>>1906545 >Nexon >>1906658 Honestly been a while since I played a proper TPS that wasn't Onirism, so my recs will be on the older side except for that. It's also all solo shit. I'd recommend Onirism and tell you how GOTY it is if it wasn't so fucking broken right now. Bugs everywhere, and even missing content like entire fucking levels because the dumb frogs fatfingered during crunch. Otherwise, it's an absolute treat due to its sheer content size, and being a medley of everything cool that was done during 1995 to 2005. Main inspirations are Serious Sam II, but it's mainly compared to Ratchet & Clank despite the dev team never playing it. Hard to rec it now because of its absolute state, the fixes can't come soon enough. Total Overdose exists if you want something similar to Max Payne, but more casual (as in, way too fucking easy) and more focused on being the coolest dude doing sick tricks while killing beaners, than actually killing beaners. Shit open world and side missions, but the campaign is entertaining enough. For the same style, John Woo's Stranglehold is slightly superior due to its better use of the environment for doing sick moves than TD. Very good heroic bloodshed. As for Gears of War dudebro shit, 50 Cent Blood on the Sand is a guilty pleasure and vastly superior to the mediocre Bulletproof. When you get past the NIGGERS and NIGGER MUSIC, its simple idea of just adding a score system and a ranking based on it that requires a perfect run to get the gold medal turns what is essentially a generic cover shooter into a serviceable killfest as long as you actually go for that high-score. No PC port though, and the "rewards" for high ranks are shit. As for FPS, I'm in the middle of Cultic Episode 2. While I like it so far, I can't help but feel like it's a bit inferior to episode 1, perhaps because it's not that focused on action setpieces until later, and some new enemies like the SWAT shotgunner are way too spongy. Nailed the horror setpieces though, it's actually scary at times.

>>1906624 That's such a fucking stupid name, I laugh at it every time. >Hell Let Loose <Pe-ew, it sure did!

Do you guys think the dev's next game will even live up to the popularity of Look Outside? I still don't understand just why exactly but it just absolutely exploded in popularity earlier in the year.

>tfw unity ending Biggest "oh no" moment i've had in a while

Reached the promise and unity endings on cursed mode. I really like the new content of the update and the change in difficulty really helps the tension last until the absolute end-game, but in a lot of ways it feels less complete than the actual release. In parts because there's a polish lacking in certain parts like the crossword witch being farmable and how the Promise/Unity endings feel rather sparse in it's artworks, but also because a lot of the new content is buggy(several overworld sprites don't match the enemies they're tied to) or has certain flourishes applied unevenly. I'll wait until the tooth family continuation is implemented properly to do a replay, I think I missed a lot in trying to get to use Papineu and Ernest early and Papineu was a lifesaver with all the weapons breaking constantly.

>>1644804 /dfg/ isnt even on /vg/ anymore ever since the board got flooded with gachanigger generals /dfg/ is now on the /vst/ the new strategy vidya board Also, for the people who post here once every month, the new Siege Update just dropped.

>>1903857 While it's obviously more realistic to have enemies be able to attack doors/walls, this really destroys the last decade of the game's balance and planning systems. Still, I'm interested to see how things go.

>>1904695 Yeah, that's rough, but I'm open to it.

>>1902649 >Xbox is dying As a dedicated console, no. It's not dying. It's purposefully being killed. What's replacing it is a sort of pseudo-console. A PC with a simplified console interface. This is being done because Sony isn't a threat to Microsoft, and Microsoft never really saw the value in the console gaming space except for keeping Sony from pushing living room computing. >Phil Spencer got the bright idea of buying Activision and Bethesda Phil doesn't run the show. He takes his marching order like everyone else, and his job is to manage the directives to make sure they get done. So far, he appears to be doing the job - though they may end up shitcanning him just to save face if they can't get the messaging right. Reminder that Phil was not given a seat at the big table in order to "right the ship". He was put there to oversee Xbox's eventual integration with Windows, and to coordinate with the heads of other Microsoft divisions as they built out the infrastructure both for the merger - as well as other internal projects, such as cloud computing. As for the Bethesda and ABK acquisitions - their value doesn't come from what they can bring to GamePass, but in the mountain of "beloved" IPs that they can take away from you if you don't subscribe to GamePass. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, remember? Expect over the next decade to start seeing more and more proprietary hooks into Microsoft owned games, as well as increasingly more third party titles, which are required for the game to operate as intended. Then expect to see compatibility with other platforms and services start to dry up unless it's used on Microsoft software or services. >This on top of Nadella's obsession with AI will likely tank the company The AI bubble bursting will hit them hard, but they're never going to abandon it now. Growth will just be a lot slower than their investors would have hoped for. Also, it's almost 100% guaranteed that Co-Pilot AI will be one of the required service hooks I mentioned earlier. >if not outright split up because of the upcoming AI bubble bursting. They're not going to split. Even if they were in danger of that actually happening, the US government would step in and bail them out. Too much commerce runs on Microsoft systems, to say nothing of the entire Federal Government and the Military. Enjoy paying off Microsoft's mismanagement with your tax dollars. If anything is going to be able to kill off Microsoft - it will be widespread adoption of Linux/Proton making Microsoft no longer a necessary component of running Windows. Again, part of why Microsoft is pivoting to challenge SteamOS/Proton - rather than waste time and money playing retard slaps with Nintendo and Sony in a meaningless (to them) market.

It's dead and even as a publisher it's on death's door if it keeps making shit games no one wants to play.

Maybe they'll try to turn Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, Fallout etc. into Roblox/Fortnite metaverse.
