Monsterous, Dark, & Evil Modes/Forms. Anonymous 05/03/2025 (Sat) 05:24:06 Id: ab66bf No. 1306617 [Reply] [Last]
Alternative form in Vidya Games that allow you to assume power with a sinister take and appearance to match. I've been thinking about games that allow you to turn into a monster since I enjoyed playing PSP2I's beast and loved using nanoblast to turn into a werewolf and the rare occasion I managed to use dark nanoblast to extend and become even more vicious. I'm looking for games that give you the feeling of turning into something more feral and vicious. Even better if it's something non human. I guess alternative versions of characters also count as well if the fifth image is anything to go by.

Payday 2 resuming development Anonymous 10/22/2025 (Wed) 00:10:09 Id: 1bd616 No. 1870325 [Reply]
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/218620/view/553504715299620866 Sidetrack will be handling it from now. <Who? You might formally know them as M.U.G; a group of Payday modders turned professional developers, they did work on RAID: World War II. Starbreeze is doing a livestream on Thursday where they explain more. Their first updates will be focused on "quality-of-life improvements and general game fixes". Hopefully they revert their strange move to Epic Online Services back to Steamworks.

>>1872754 I think they abandoned those because they were too long and not fun in playtesting, and bridged the cap with Crime Sprees. A 7-day heist would be a entire L4D style campaign, I'm sure a dev could pull that off but not Overkill. The whole Hoxton saga could have been a 7-day heist honestly.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/218620/view/528734197434548839 First of these updates was put out on Thursday. I'll copy and paste all changes. Gameplay Reduced the interaction timers on upgrading drills/saws/thermal lance from 10 seconds to 3 seconds Fixed carried lootbags being consumed when the player fails an interaction Fixed floating hands being visible while looking through cameras Fixed enemy flashbang detonation timers being too long on higher difficulties Fixed the Ordnance Bag equipment being refreshable by leaving and rejoining a game Fixed Captain Winters staying immortal forever if his squad are killed before he arrives

Assuming they ever get around to making heists, are they just going to reuse Viklund's music? Because I've heard Gustavo's shit on PD3 and I wasn't impressed. Den of Wolves please save us, don't fuck up like GTFO did.

Borderlands. Anonymous 09/12/2025 (Fri) 01:10:11 Id: 631e4a No. 1744035 [Reply] [Last]
I am confused by something /v/. I was surprised to find out that borderlands 4 was released but it has less than 4000 reviews as of me writing this. I think this is odd since I was entirely expecting normalfags to just eat it up like they ate up 3. So why aren't they? It might not seem related at all but I was under the impression that about 3-5% of gamers leave steam reviews. So having the numbers for a major triple AAA game be low baffles me a bit. I want it to be clear that I fucking hate gearbox and i have hated them since the second borderlands game. For some reason people pretend like borderlands 2 is good for whatever reason. So I am quite a bit happy that Gearbox is flopping but I am still confused why. The quality of a game doesn't matter at all to sales so I am ruling that out. Was there a controversy before hand? That usually doesn't matter either but maybe some people were more pissed than usual? Maybe people are just distracted by everything else going on right now. That could be a factor but I am not sure if that is enough to explain how little this game is selling. Maybe I am to quick to jump to conclusions and the game will sell really well tomorrow? Please help me out here /v/. Also the pestilent defiler is the best gun.

>>1744035 I liked the first two games because I played them together with friends irl, but I didn't have anyone to play with anymore by the time 3 came out since everyone moved on with their lives. I thought I remembered everyone saying Borderlands 3 was mid when it came out and that people didn't like the twins. I never played it though, so I don't have an opinion. Not sure what the problem with Borderlands 2 is. To each their own, but that seems like a contrarian reactionary take to me.

Battlefield / Call of Duty thread Anonymous 08/06/2025 (Wed) 14:58:51 Id: 45a642 No. 1636209 [Reply] [Last]
Seems like Battlefield 6 is getting a bit of excitement in the normalfag sphere due to normalfags getting a bit upset with the direction Call of Duty has been taking itself in recent years. I noticed that secure boot is required because of EA's shitty anti-cheat, so I figured that was something worthy of note. Still I believe there's an Open Beta going on right now with Battlefield 6 hitting capacity of them having over 20,000 people waiting to get into the game. I'm not particularly looking forward to the game since I already play Cawwaduty sometimes since it comes with my Gamepass subscription, but what do you faggots think? Are you looking forward to the new Battlefield? or do you just not care about these shitty popcorn shooters. FUCK YOU ACID LET ME POST

Short games (Under 6 hours) Anonymous 07/11/2025 (Fri) 19:27:17 Id: 81562a No. 1554230 [Reply]
Ever get tired of the 60+ AAA junk and bloated RPGs? Well sit down, relax, and get comfortable with some games you can clear in an evening. While retro (specifically 80s to early 90s) games also apply, I advise you pick something a novice could actually beat first try. I'm trying to avoid the low hanging fruit like Portal and Hotline Miami. Post lesser known games you're aware of!

It's not the scariest game and it falls flat the moment you recognize how its mechanics work, but it has a great atmosphere.

Does Way of the Samurai series count? It's a maze of branching pathes where each playthrough only takes a few hours at most, but a its built on NG+ so that you get better swords/experience with them and learn enough about the characters/world to manipulate everything into a good ending.

Metal Gear Solid Anonymous 04/22/2025 (Tue) 16:46:57 Id: 207b17 No. 1212615 [Reply] [Last]
What happened to this franchise? It was once upon a time a very popular and beloved series. Did a zombie game really ruin their momentum? Or was it Hideo Kojima leaving? I have a lot of great memories playing these games and the only thing they released in the past 7 years are remasters. The remaster collection did great but I can't see why they couldn't make another solid (what a great joke lmao) game in the series for modern fans. If you ever played MGS1 on the Playstation 1, there was nothing like it. No doubt it catapulted the PS1 to levels it never would have done otherwise.

>>1877316 it's sadly how people treat the trendsetters. associate the long-term damage to the industry and also others making shitty games with the trendsetter in the 7th gen everyone hated COD due to other games being COD clones, even though COD itself was good until WaW same for Assassins Creed. people hate it because other franchises and even other genres started copying the open world slop elements of AC and even the AC franchise itself dragging on too fucking long with nothing new, even though the first 3 games were good. imagine this with other franchises. if video games copied OoT for 30 years straight and even Zelda games kept milking the OoT formula, people would've HATED OoT and would've marked it as "when gaming went to shit".

If this thread was super busy, it would be best to stick to this one and not make a new one. >just let it die and continue on the >>>/vp/ board's general discussion?

>You said something nice about Marathon? You're a marketer or Bungie employee!! Genuinely mind broken at this point. >>1876785 Obviously this is the honeymoon phase of the game but it has good atmosphere, shooting feels good, playing with good players and against good players is exciting. Voice comms and teamwork can really make or break a match. >>1877992 Yeah I saw they were using art by another artist but I couldn't give less of a shit. I do not care that Destiny players are angry because their game is no longer the focus. I do not care that this isn't like the original Marathon games. I'm taking the game now as it exist and for me it is fun. I'm more worried about them pushing the game into becoming yet another hero shooter which is where it's headed apparently. It does however seem to have an overarching story, or glimpses of it, with all the factions. What they really need to do is keep pushing for more teamwork-focused gameplay and systems, that's really where the whole fun of it is.

Great series with iffy first entries Anonymous 09/18/2025 (Thu) 21:27:37 Id: 7b4390 No. 1765127 [Reply] [Last]
>Just Cause Less iffy and more downright bad, many JC fans have never played or even seen the first game in the series, leading to the joke "Just Cause starts at 2". Buggy, empty, repetitive, janky, did I mention buggy? Because it is SO buggy, it's bugging out absolutely all the time at every moment, there is never a period where this game is not struggling to keep itself from collapsing; vehicles that don't work, physics that don't work, explosives that glitch more often than they function, NPCs that can't stop themselves from killing their own, a camera that frequently finds itself under the map. Realizing the enormous scale of the map will strike you with awe the first time you play it, and the gameplay will ensure there's no second time. >Arena While having some very cool elements and a fun spell creation system, TES1 is an odd and obviously slap dashed game that went through wild development swings. The dungeons are infamously a mess and it's so unbalanced towards magic that playing a non-spellcasting class is effectively challenge mode. It struggles from a lack of real content beyond procgen dungeon crawling, and while it is fun for a dungeon crawler from the era, there are better in the genre. The sequel improves upon it in every way. >Codename 47 Just not fun. If you've played C47 you know it's terrible, shocking it ever got a sequel let alone turning into one of gaming's premier stealth franchises. Beyond the very toybox-esque levels you'd expect for a game from 2000, everything about it feels unpleasant and it's frequently very difficult in a bad way, even the camera is in an awkward position. Most of the hits aren't well designed and some appear literally impossible to do stealthily. C47 also commits one of the worst sins of a stealth game: the AI is wildly inconsistent and hard to predict.

>>1876548 Crystalis came out way after Zelda. And saying Mario 3 is better than 1 doesn't mean Mario 1 is "iffy." If the thread was "games with sequels/imitators that improved upon them," there would be many more examples. Practically every first entry in a series or genre is improved upon by later games. Also, Mario World is too easy. Mario 3 is better. Though it would be nice to have proper saving and backtracking.
>>1878123 >Mario World is too easy. Mario 3 is better. The harder levels in Mario World are tougher than anything in 3, in part because they're so much longer.

Stop Killing Games (pt. 2) Anonymous 07/07/2025 (Mon) 03:23:17 Id: 0dc424 No. 1540204 [Reply] [Last]
Headed by Ross Scott of Accursed Farms, Stop Killing Games is an initiative aiming to establish a standard in the EU for videogame companies to necessarily provide an End-of-Life (EOL) solution once publisher-supported servers and services go offline. Originally spurred by focus on Ubisoft's The Crew, the movement quickly grew into encompassing countless titles that have in recent years published, failed, and been taken (permanently) offline, restricted and removed from the access of owners. Already having hit the required minimum of 1,000,000 signatures, the European Citizens' Initiative is likely to be presented before EU Parliament in the coming months. Current controversies surrounding the campaign include a scathing overview by infamous Twitch streamer Pirate Software (aka Jason "Thor" Hall), posts and videos in support by countless internet personalities (such as Louis Rossman and other more well-known gaming YouTubers such as PewDiePie and MoistCr1TiKaL) as well as the suspicion and worry of botting by numerous parties to boost the signature count to the required minimum. As of now, the campaign has just over 1.21 million signatures and counting. >Relevant links: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ https://stopkillinggamestracker.pages.dev/

>>1755088 guess its kind of like the people sealing old cartridges in resin/glass cases instead of using them, plain stupidity
>>1755088 Aside from hoarding autism there is also the idea of preserving media until one day copyright finally runs out. Or, considering this is Embracer until they acquire the rights for a remaster. There are for example websites that archive old game source code without access to the public until hopefully one day something can be done with it. https://www.wcnews.com/news/update/11167
>>1755975 None of those discs or cartridges get "preserved" by not being opened or played. They'll degrade like anything else would over time and simply not boot, or more likely that all the original hardware won't run anymore. Actual game preservation is simply backing up the files with redundancy and pushing for legislation that erodes copyright law and enables emulation. Collecting games is just faggot plastic hoarding for depressed man children chasing nostalgia.

Games where you're an unabashedly terrible person? Anonymous 10/13/2025 (Mon) 20:56:22 Id: a9f840 No. 1844102 [Reply] [Last]
I was going to title this "awful protagonists" instead, though it sounds better it might be misunderstood. And not games where you being The Worst is a le epic twist in the last 5 minutes or some subtext, but a very core part of the protagonist and their context within the narrative. I've always been interested in this, because most games have you as: >literally Jesus >morally conflicted emotionally complex anti-hero >Milquetoast McGee >blank slate >[Press A to SAVE BABY] [Press B to KICK BABY into THE SUN] So having the protagonist be a bad, unlikable, unjustifiable person is a rare and interesting choice.

>>1866411 Funnily enough, I finally played mouthwashing since its spooky season and I had this in my backlog since last year, and I found it quite enjoyable. It did feel weird that my interactive novel was at times interrupted with segments of gameplay, but I loved the atmosphere of the game as you try to put together the pieces of what has happened . Its short enough where its just around the length of a movie, and it delivers a very self-contained experience that makes it the sort of thing you don't mind playing once a year during the spooky season.
>>1866411 Its ok. The narrative is the best part, but all the discussion around the game kinda gives it away which, that in turn makes the twist less effective. A whodunnit when you already know the who isn't very fun. Without that, the game is a weak point and click adventure game. There are some puzzles that are fun but nothing too crazy. Then you have sections like the warehouse with the stupid invisible monster that is just fucking awful. Artstyle is 5th gen-adjacent. Not much to say there. It has some effective sequences but nothing trippy enough to note. It's not even particularly gore-y outside of Curly. tl;dr its an Amnesia TDD clone with a decent narrative twist but nothing to go too far out of your way for.
