>>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.

>>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.

>>1925665 The heightened activity prevented the vols from thorougly scanning the new posts queue for wrongthink, that's the only reason the quality back then was somewhat better. Now watch this post get removed swiftly, despite being imageless and in an anchored thread halfway down the catalog.

>>1966772 Jokes on you I have this thread in my watched list and I'll report it just to fuck with you for being a catty schizo

>>2070886 I'm sure it happens when I've lost my mouse cursor and am moving it rapidly trying to get it back on screen. My PC thinks the TV is always on and never removes that screen. I was about to use the TV for the first time in a while just as the taskbar and several other things froze, and saw there were a dozen sticky notes on the TV. They were of course also frozen, but all other windows worked fine. I've had this freeze happen before. Sometimes it will crash and reload the DE with everything in-tact and that's only a very mild nuisance, but sometimes it will stick and I have to close everything and restart to get it working. I've tried going in the console and doing killall plasmashell and that other command i forget to start it back up again, and nothing happens, not even a "fish: Unknown command:" response. Had to restart, upon which I'm then told I need to kile Plasma workspace or something because it's unresponsive. Maybe I can just open System Monitor and find and kill the process there next time? Regardless of whether they're related to the freezing, the sticky notes still annoy me and I don't want them.

I'm very happy with switchig to Linux. Everything I need works and everything is much faster than Windows, except RPGm porn games since I would need to read how to install RTPs. I'm substituting by playing on my phone with JoiPlay. I don't even need to use the terminal for anything, works like a PC should while boomer clicking on everything. Fuck Windows.

>>2038172 As a bonus, I can still use the color picker, it only reaffixes itself to the main window border if I try to move the seperate window it's in.

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.

Dino Crisis (2000) Dino Crisis 2 (2001) Warcraft 2, Tides of Darkness (1995) Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)

>>1280266 I dunno the size but I imagine sub 1gb >Inside >Limbo >Swatter >Vessel

>>1280266 Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is the greatest game of the entire Civilization game genre and a serious contender for best game ever.

>>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.

>>1982497 Absolutely amazing commission! I have considered getting one in the past but i feel it wouldnt be good enough unless i drew it myself and i cant draw.

>>1982497 Cute! They really nailed Mama's face.

Sorry, got sidetracked with IRL business setting up christmas decorations for family. New thread! >>1983087

>>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

>>1666357 NEPGYAAAA-God, I kneel...

>>1630724 I remember playing Postal 2 as a teenager in school on break time, then a big assed big booba gorgeous pale girl came with some choco milk, gave me some and tried to socialize with me, guess what i did, what i've always do, ignore all normalfags lol, and here i am, true to my principles and about to become a wizard.

>>1354627 Is this the Re:Zero artist?

>>1473776 Yes.

>>1882979 >ununformed echo chambers Uninformed? I guess there is a chance they see the lghdtv's (lol) as a problem preventing money and remove it and change nothing else. Still better chances of EA becoming good than previously.

>>1885076 >I guess there is a chance they see the lghdtv's (lol) as a problem preventing money and remove it and change nothing else. Still better chances of EA becoming good than previously. They could very well do so, yes. Pragmatic intervention, but not out of belief or ideology, which is what I meant in my initial message.

My body is ready

>>1889328 Most stealth games I notice have some really good audio design. Playing through TLOU 1 and 2 you realize the game doesn't really needs its assisted listening mode if you have a decent set of speakers, because hearing clickers and the other zombies is really precise. Same with the callouts with the cultist whistles. Its one of the parts I enjoy most about the games honestly.

I remember people tried to praise Devil Daggers' audio design here years ago before any discussion of the game was drowned out with >ONE LEVEL >ONE WEAPON

>>1896995 I made the title edit of that meme. Devil Daggers was textbook FOTM, it was also one of the first games I can remember to adopt the faux PS1 look. I remember everybody trying to act like it was some unique and important game, now it's completely forgotten not ten years later. Please tell me somebody still has the image, I lost it years ago

>>1247971 Gex 3 had a maze area in its murder mystery level. Pretty spooky, especially with those undead bears.

>>1893247 It's a horror encounter for her alright

Speaking of horror, we're doing a Halloween celebration on >>>/vb/30527 if anybody wants to post spooky lewds

The trailer looks like a really shitty Unity game made in 2011, and the gameplay will be delivered by the Pathologic developers. Needless to say, there's no chance this will be any fun, and the only praise it will get is by youtubers who discuss the EPIC (complete nonsense) LORE.

>>1890437 Never advise a man in profit of a polish man. The more poland is cursed, the better for everyone.

>>1890674 >Original devs broke up It's always sad to see a talented team leave due to the ongoing shitshow that is the modern video games industry.

>>1894472 Fug. Sage because I meant *became not game twice there.

>>1894423 >Give me Warhammer 40,000: Deus Ex <sequel is a focus tested slop that ignores what made the original great You're getting a more authentic Deus Ex experience than you bargained for.

>>1894507 It hurts EYE was made with barely any budget, and there's games by solo devs now that do what it did. You follow trends without a fuckhuge marketing campaign, you die, it's that simple. You're better off not getting that investement money at all, if they force you to do shit like that.
