A thread to talk about all things sports vidya >>1615337 I've been playing Mario Super Sluggers recently. I like it, but I think I'd like it more if it had controller support. Wagglan isn't fun for the bullshit filler they add in the singleplayer campaign. Been meaning to try Backyard Baseball. Worth trying if newer games haven't been scratching your itch.

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/

E-celeb faggotry containment thread Anonymous 07/14/2025 (Mon) 17:12:01 Id: 759d2a No. 1562147 [Reply] [Last]
We haven't had one of these thread in a while, so I thought it might be ok, to once again have one of those containment threads, this time about e-celebs, and maybe some v-tubers like Rev says desu and patrician_tv :^). Anything goes, as long as it's somewhat vidya related, from Asmongold to Synthethic Man. >But isn't the thread against the rules? Rule 9 says that it's ok, as long as it's all contained in one single thread. There was a recent thread about Synthethic Man that got deleted, but there was a topic that started to be formed, but I think the thread got deleted way before it managed to reach it's potential, that of e-celebs growing old. I dread to think someone starting as a gaming e-celeb in their late 20s and doing it up until their 50s or even 60s, just because they aren't popular enough to get enough money to retire early, but still profitable enough to keep the gift going. From my point of view either you manage to retire early like Pew Die Pie, become a complete cuck like James Rolfe, kill yourself like JewWario, flee from society like Game Dude, become a complete lol-cow like boogie, swallow the tranny pill like Cosmo, or manage to move on to something else. I guess you need a certain level of narcisim to want to become an e-celeb, so it's hard for me to comprehend why you would want to do this shit even in your 60s, but if you can't retire early, maybe you should just change the direction of your channel, even if risks alienating your fans, because otherwise you have to watch the e-celeb go through a middle life crisis, like what I think Synthethic Man is going through, and maybe Spoony when he did that drunken Twilight review. So... how are you enjoying your games in your 30? Personally I don't play as much as I did in my teens and tweenties, as I dabble in other activities, but I am still passionate about the industry, and I still play games from time to time. Anyway, I am waiting for patrician tv to finish his bike road trip so that he gets the footage for the Fallout 3/NV review and promised face reveal.

Are games really that baren now that all disccuion of them has to be about external things?

Sonic the Hedgehog Anonymous 10/15/2024 (Tue) 09:45:27 Id: 824c4a No. 1027938 [Reply] [Last]
With Sonic X Shadow Generations coming out in less than a week, now is a good time for a new Sonic thread. Personally I'm quite excited for the game, and am surprised it hasn't already leaked since it usually leaks around this time. Although I'm kinda disappointed we haven't seen a proper Adventure remake yet, hopefully this game will be good and will lead to good things as time goes on. Oh, and hopefully we'll get a Shadow remake that's actually good this time. I doubt SEGA has the balls to make that kinda game in the modern age though. Are you looking forward to Shadow Generations? Do you think we'll get more Sonic stages as DLC? Or will the game just be average and a waste of money and the cycle will repeat itself all over again, even though Frontiers as a modded game is solid. Still, this is the thread to discuss anything and everything Sonic the Hedgehog! please don't porn dump, I'm looking at you Bui

>>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.

USPTO orders reexamination of Nintendo's "Pokémon summoning" patent Anonymous 11/07/2025 (Fri) 22:16:46 Id: 578300 No. 1915325 [Reply]
https://archive.ph/XacFN In a spectacular backfire, it appears Nintendo's aggressive patent lawfare has attracted the attention of the legal apparatus and raised questions about the legitimacy of a certain patent to begin with. The patent in question is U.S. Patent No. 12,403,397, the infamous "summoning" patent, though that's not quite an accurate description of it. Full patent on the right. IP lawyers say this is "extremely rare" and a shocking move. The Patent and Trademark Office virtually never issues a reexamination order of its own volition. The current consensus seems to be that Nintendo will likely lose it.

Skyward Sword got a lot of things right. When compared to Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, you have to admit that it is as good or better than both. At least I admit it. Seriously though, I actually do prefer SS to both WW and TP. I prefer it in dungeons, music for the most part, combat, gameplay, characters, side quests and a lot more I can't think of at the moment. Of the things I'd fix, I wish there were a way to make the "beneath the Sky" area interconnected since the sequence of finding a statue, going up to the sky, flying to the light beam, selecting where to land and then being able to go can get a bit bothersome. Also I wish taking off on your loftwing from Skyloft were as seamless as you do it when you fly from anywhere else in the sky (probably hardware limitations, but I also wish the HD Remaster would have fixed it). Even still, this one is one of my favorite 3D Zelda games and it always has been.

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?

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?

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.

>>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.

>>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.

>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.

The Future of Microsoft/Xbox Anonymous 11/03/2025 (Mon) 02:40:30 Id: 24ea0c No. 1902649 [Reply]
As most of you know Xbox is dying because Phil Spencer got the bright idea of buying Activision and Bethesda and figured that people would actually buy games that were on gamepass because they invested a few hours into it. This on top of Nadella's obsession with AI will likely tank the company into an Intel like state where it's a husk of its former self, if not outright split up because of the upcoming AI bubble bursting. What this has to do with "/v/ - Vidya Gaems" is I'd like to know what you guys will think will happen to the massive backlog of gaming franchises and one offs that Microsoft has the rights too, I was thinking instead of doing a full THQ move, they might separate Xbox into a separate private company where Microsoft has some ownership, but it'll be more focused on making games rather than shilling AI. Although that's likely a dream scenario since I don't think the people running Xbox and Microsoft are that smart. One scenario I'm personally hoping for is that they split up the business AT&T style, get rid of the DEI, ESG, corpo bullshit, replace the current batch of executives with people who actually give a shit about Windows and Gaming, and just focus on putting out good products again. Granted that's a pipe dream since shareholder capitalism has broken the American system, but with companies like EA and Valve leading the pack, I'd like to see more companies go private and focus on making good products rather than short term bursts of profit. That being said, what do you think will happen to Microsoft after the AI bubble bursts?

>>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.

The most frightening time of the year is upon us. A perfect time to cuddle up on the couch and watch a horror movie with that special someone. So, /v/, who's your videogame waifu? Does she have some cute halloween costumes, canon or otherwise? Got any relevant halloween plans or spooky things in mind? Done anything nice for that wonderful lady? Or perhaps you just want to talk about how cute she is? Well, gather round and share! Or just talk about vidya gals you like, if you'd prefer. Show us all why your waifu is the best girl!

Playing videogames in public Anonymous 08/04/2025 (Mon) 17:48:22 Id: d4fc58 No. 1630644 [Reply] [Last]
>"Waaaah! People will make fun of me if I play video games in public!" Why are 4chan schizos like that? Playing video games in public has been a thing since the creation of video games with the arcades games and later with the handheld lcd games like the Game&Watch ones and then with portable consoles like Game Boy. Besides with lots of obnoxious, annoying people in public like niggers, illegals, gypsies, loud Karen, normies who talk loudly at their phones etc, nobody will give a shit about a person who plays games quietly in a corner with his phone or portable console.

>>1671474 >One thing I would like to know, is where this whole "if it doesn't fit in your pocket, it's not a portable game console" discussion came from. ease of transport - there are breakpoints to size and it correlates with portability, if you can fit it in your pocket you can bring it almost everywhere, if you need a backpack to carry it around it limits the portability since you need something extra and if its a home console/tower pc you are certainly not lugging it around
