What racing games have you guys been playing recently?

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.

A thread for anything related to 3D printing and video games: figurines, controller stands, battery covers that keep getting lost, cool cases, mods and enhancements, etcetera. What cool enhancements, whether practical or just aesthetic, should I print for my old consoles? Say, for example, my Sega Genesis model 2?

Post /v/idya characters in beach attire and the like. We used to have artdump threads like these on an annual basis but this place caught the gay so let's change that. If you want to request season-appropriate art the drawthread is next door >>986513 yes OP pieces are from a preexisting thread

After all these years the turning around zombie from the original Resident Evil still creeps me out the most.

I got into a discussion the other day with someone defending Halo: Combat Evolved and TES: Skyrim as great games. This wasn't a normalfag from what I could tell, it was someone who would otherwise be considered a rather competent gamer. That's why I was surprised such a conclusion was made. I recall a time not too long ago when these two games were considered bad. Not bad in the same way as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde NES, Big Rigs Over the Road Racing, or Mystery of the Druids, but bad in the sense that these two games are degenerative from what came before. Will explain what I mean here. Starting with Skyrim. Take for example what came before it. Oblivion, and then Morrowind before that. For anyone who played Morrowind, you can tell that Oblivion itself was a step down from it. Skyrim being a further disconnect from even Oblivion exacerbates the departure that the Elder Scrolls series took. The only metric that one can say the series has improved on is graphical fidelity. Gameplay suffered, without a doubt. Soundtrack stayed the same quality, as Jeremy Soule is always amazing >Less spells >Skills dumbed down or removed >Conversations dumbed down and made into quick one-sentence summaries >Quests dumbed down to the extreme >Copy + Pasted dungeons and fetch quests With this said, you'll still get people who say <But I had fun with it! Skyrim is my favorite RPG! People who have played Oblivion and even Morrowind might say this. Not just normalfags who have never played any of the older entries. They will argue that streamlined mechanics make a game more accessible and thus more 'complete'. Well, besides the bugs that are inherent to any Gamebryo game, you can say that Skyrim is worse than Oblivion and Morrowind, but can you really say it's a bad game? Let's look at Halo: CE next. This was released on Xbox first in 2001. It's an FPS game, first game in what will be later known as the Halo Series. I cannot compare it to previous 'Halo' games as such so I'll instead compare it to other FPS games that came before it. Quake, Unreal Tournament, Half Life, Counter Strike, among others. What did Halo fail to do that its predecessors did?

I've stumbled upon such a disgusting level of fraud that I can't legally publicly implicate anyone, so bear with me... >A certain neoteny-themed consulting firm based in a foreign country is using blackmail and self-dealing to gain money and power from the gaming industry. >They have a paranormal-themed shelf company, which they use for embezzling non-profit investments and for illegal self-dealing practices (investment fraud). >They are relatively large, with dealings across most of the current AAA studios. >The main company's CEO has openly admitted in past interviews to using blackmail as an investment tactic, through paper-thin doublespeak (like rewording "blackmail" as "scaring companies"). Do what you will with this information.

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.

I have recently got this urge for classic fantasy. I mean the kind of sword and board that used to be everywhere. The kind of vibe that I am thinking of can be found in Heretic, There you are an elf shooting lightning at bad guys while flying around on wings of hatred. I think Golden axe has a similar vibe but a lot lighter. Gauntlet dark legacy has it as well. I guess Hexen has it as well being a sequel to heretic but I dont enjoy backtracking.

I'm not gonna pretend to know what any of this means, but a friend of mine works in game dev and apparently is working on the next Five Nights at Freddy's. We were at a Halloween party and he tried rizzing up some chick dressed as one of the characters with secrets about the next game. It actually worked, apparently the key to an autistic girl's heart is top secret Five Nights at Freddy's knowledge. So here's what you need to know to screw the next girl you see dressed like a slutty bird. From what I can remember, he said that the game has two interweaving narratives. There's one where you're a girl named Cassy who's chased by a mimic and a giant monster made of the robots and another that's set in the past where you're the mimic and trying to avoid getting captured. He said it's an attempt to bring asymmetric horror gameplay like DBD to a single player game.

Gather, gather gamers. Listen to my tale. I've spent years researching the Chiliad Mystery, I mean it, years. It was not through my effort alone, many have helped me, and I have come here today, seeking a place to share what I've found. There is much to say, much to show, and I plan to reveal all I know. I ask for now that you leave all your doubts at the door. This may seem strange at first, but what I am about to show you isn't obvious. The mystery was designed to filter as many people as possible, and the very Epsilon Tract speaks ill of doubters for this very reason. With that out of the way, I shall begin by laying out the basics of this aspect of the mystery. This isn't the full mystery, but only an aspect of it.

Haven't seen one since they unfucked the open beta, so let's have a thread.

Here we discuss Tales of Series video games. Starting from Tales of Phantasia to Tales of Arise. Didnt feel it was /vg/ worthy since this series isnt popular enough. At least not anymore.

What the fuck is giving double XP this week? Also, do you think the new Coquette D5 is getting a HSW upgrade or should i sell it to get a Banshee GTS Also Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026 for those who actually care. Now it's November 19th of 2026. Seriously, just release the game and be done with it.

For those not in the know, Valve has been working on a mixed reality headset for gamers to play both traditional games and VR games on. The rumored price for the full bundle is 1,200 dollars and the Proof of Concept ran a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which had a GPU one generation newer than the XR2 Gen 2, and used a 2160x2160 lenses with a 120hz frame rate. It also has two eye tracking cameras and 4 SLAM cameras. Chances are they'll likely make an LCD version first and then ship an OLED version a year or two later after prices go down a bit. One of the positives of this headset and why most people including myself are looking forward to it is because unlike Facebook, Samsung and Apple headsets, this will be running a fully fledged Arch system similar to the Steam Deck. Although the hardware will be running games on ARM through Proton and the FEX Emulator. It is also rumored to run Android XR and Facebook games through Waydroid, and is rumored to run a Adreno 750 GPU although there are other rumors of an AMD or NVidia GPU made for this headset, but you shouldn't get your hopes up for those rumors to be true. Personally, I hope this brings new life into the XR market and kicks the shit out of Facebook and Apple since they made VR headsets into shitty phones rather than an open marketplace where developers can make and distribute apps without an app store or anything like that. Either way there are rumors that it should be announced this month or else it might be pushed to 2026. https://x.com/sadlyitsbradley/status/1902965316277207487 https://archive.ph/GhhkF https://archive.ph/uJzCw https://archive.ph/X0wws
