Aka be glad (((Tel Aviv))) only knows how to make Raid: Shadow Legends edition. Given how many anons here play these titles and request an area to discuss them beyond Blue Archive >>1034800, given how many JP devs have fled to mobile as some of their more senile contemporaries chase the dead ESG gold rush, given how the bishoujo market is concentrated in mobage, and given how many players have actually banded together and organized to repel and BTFO globohomo as of late, I think a mini >>>/vmg/ is warranted. As OP I however get to christen it a "ghetto" until somebody else takes over the succeeding OPs. Do note that all discussion related to the technological and industry dynamic shifts these live services (yes they are live services) propose as well as topics directly pertaining to their cross-platform nature (i.e talking about how Aether Gazer is available on both PC and mobile or the number of gacha games on Steam) should be directed to this thread instead >>986877 If you want to discuss, say, how Lies of P and Brown Dust 2 were both developed by Neowiz, or how neato Versus and Relink are as part of Cygames' Granblue Fantasy IP, do it over there. You can talk about Action Taimanin's 4th anniversary, you can't talk about how well it runs on PC here. Non-gacha MMOs should also be directed to the existing MMO thread >>897003 Post memes, post updates to your chosen main gacha, post liveblogs of your playthroughs, post artdumps, post collabs, post obscure JP and about-to-EOS gachas, post about how the fuck match-three RPGs are still on the market, post about Senran Kagura New Link and Dead or Alive: Penis Vacation, complain about drama and monetization and mixed toilet games and girls trying to push their otome bishie gachas, just make your contributions high effort and high quality and try to max out 8chan's 5-file 50MB upload limit. You are allowed to be horny about certain characters, but your posts about them must be substantive (no >>>/vb/ template posting, for example). <geez, are you smug's owner No, I care about digital hygiene and board nettiquette. NEWS AT A GLANCE Going to try to hash out a format since this is very new for 8/v/. >GFL2, the successor to many anons' favorite gacha circa 2017, is set to come to Global this fall with a closed beta test and prereg being held. (Read: they need that gweilo piggu money.) Luckily, they are cranking up that fanservice, of which I won't post yet because this OP needs to cover multiple titles. >Unluckily, the CN state censor department has randomly struck a bunch of gachas with notices to sharpie over their character designs, the most notable of which was Snowbreak, enrager of BPD harpies everywhere, and Path to Nowhere. For the time being, Snowbreak has elected to use the localization toggle as a way to technically comply with said censor wave while still giving its playerbase what it wants; its future is still uncertain though as the devs continue to give Winnie the Pooh the finger. It seems like more and more that CN devs need to move off West Taiwan's mainland if they are to realize their creative and financial ambitions. >In general, the global economic downturn has meant that the gacha market has slowly been contracting on mobile. PC, however, seems to be booming as devs find that players are willing to open their wallets without having to pay Apple and Gulag the provider tax. >Arknights and Nikke are holding their 5.5 and 2nd anniversaries respectively, with both of them making big stinks about how they have new anime projects in the pipeline, never mind how all people remember from Blue Archive airing is Iori's toes getting sucked. >Azur Promilia has started receiving age ratings in Taiwan. >Mihomo has rebranded its Harvest Moon knockoff project from Asteweave Heaven to Petit Planet. >Uma Musume is gearing up for a global release. When? Not clear. This is for umaanon though. >Infinity Nikki is making waves as a big open world gacha that Soyny is banking on to get some crumbs after chasing off every Asian third party in existence.

Post memes that make you proud to be on fullchan.

A stereotypically Polish immersive sim was released into early access recently. It looks and plays like EYE Divine Cybermancy with a bit more inventory and gun autism, among other things. Marie looks very cute.

How do I stop feeling guilty about playing games? I like games but whenever I try to sit down and play them I feel like I should be doing something else. Like I don't deserve to enjoy them. I feel like I should be doing something else, so I just browse the internet all day and feel like shit after. It's like normalfags put thoughts in my head thinking video games are a waste of time, and I should doomscroll like them instead.

Lesta is the World of Warships developer and publisher of World of Tanks in Russia, that is. Wargaming is the developer of World of Tanks and its Western publisher. https://archive.is/5uZe9 >MOSCOW, April 26 - RIA Novosti. The Prosecutor General's Office is asking the Tagansky Court of Moscow [for a Russian ban] for carrying out extremist activities an association consisting of Lesta owner Malik Khatajaev and Wargaming.net owner Viktor Kislyy, as well as to recover 100% of Lesta's shares for state revenue, according to court materials available to RIA Novosti. >"Statement of claim of the Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia to ban the activities of the association, consisting of V. V. V. Kisloy and M. A. Khatazhaev, and the appeal to the state income shares in the authorized capital of the defendants", - stated in the materials. These are the shares of Lesta LLC, Lesta Games Agency LLC, and Lesta Games Moscow LLC. >The Prosecutor General's Office believes that Kislyy and Khatajaev constitute an extremist association and carry out extremist activities on the territory of Russia. In the lawsuit, the applicant attached publications with the headlines “The military game World of Tanks is against Russia's special operation”, “How Wargaming survived 25 years - and coped with the war in Ukraine”, “Wargaming launched a charity project with Ukrainian content in games to raise money for reanimation vehicles”. Stuff like this has been happening in Russia for awhile since the invasion, it started with targeting bakeries and factories at first, but as the war has gone on they've been plundering larger and larger corporations. This has to be one of the most public government thefts.

What does /v/ play when they just need a quick dopamine hit?

Just released on GOG

GET IN TO PLAY THE BEST KART RACER ON PC! GET IN IF YOU WANNA GO FAST! >How to Play (v2.4) https://codeberg.org/NepDisk/srb2k-neptune/releases/tag/Neptune2.4.4 >Compiling on Linux https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Source_code_compiling/Makefiles#Compiling_on_Linux >SERVER IPs: us.kartinvidya.me (US server) eu.kartinvidya.me (Euro Server) We also have a /vm/ thread (which is on 4chan so good luck posting on it) to discuss the game, give help/tips, suggest characters and maps!

I miss /kcdg/ from 4chan so I'm making a thread for the most kino RPG in years Fellow hansry enjoyers I call out for you

Someone host I remember on halfchan we had servers for this when it was in free alpha and still called Subsurface https://store.steampowered.com/app/602960/Barotrauma/ >What is it? 2D SS13 in a submarine

<aka "they're gonna take you to the present, where your screen is fucking unpleasant" the thread >aka grafix discussion bread So I don't think it's much of a secret these days that despite <TAA, with ghosting and trailing <mandatory upscaling <framegen <raytracing and pathtracing more and more games are shipping out in worse technical states asking for more power while less is delivered. There are a myriad of reasons for this state of affairs but TL;DR something systemic is definitely going on and it's led to ripple effects like gamers buying more PC indie titles, reevaluation of the eighth generation, backlash against Unreal Engine, and the Threat Interactive drama. "buy new GPU" is no longer a valid dismissal since Nvidia's poor showing at CES, with barely an uptick in compute and the push for 75% fake frames and neural texture compression. Discuss this hot mess.

What a piece of doodoo dogshit lol. My performance was good on the tutorial island but after I left it I'm struggling to get even 30 fps on the lowest graphical settings and that's with an rtx 3060 and 16 gbs of ram, surpassing the recommended system requirements. Why are game devs seemingly incapable of optimizing their games even out of a AA game? I shouldn't have to do workarounds and fix anything, the game should be good out of the box

Lets discuss why Deadlock failed miserably and why they should made Team Fortress 3 instead.

I haven't seen anyone post about this yet, but I might have missed a few. Valheim but Runescape flavored does seem like it could be an interesting combo. Has anyone played it? How'd you like it? Early Access slop, or worth waiting for the Magic and Ranged trees to get added and more things fleshed out?

Happy Easter and related festivites! All you Anons. So, /v/, you know the drill, who's your videogame waifu? Got some good art of her you simply must display? Done anything to show how much you care for that lass? Had any Easter holiday plans for her perhaps? Maybe you just want to ramble about how cute she is? Come on and share! Or you can just talk about your favorite female vidya characters, if that's what you'd prefer. Show us all why your waifu truly is the best girl! The anon who was working on the Easter Collage is still taking submissions for a more refined version, so if you have something to post for such feel free to do so.

You do get your starting outfit back before exiting, right? Also, Hitman thread, I guess.
