/domg/ - Dominions General Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 17:21:59 Id: efcd4d No. 1098569 [Reply]
The Wheel has turned once again Necromancy Edition Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher. The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3400 units, 1100 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them. It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep. Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game. >Our pastebin (extremely outdated) https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y >Steamgroup https://steamcommunity.com/groups/vanheimageofvidya >Multiplayer guide >Blitzserver (game hosting service) https://blitzserver.net

Difficulty sliders/modes hate thread Anonymous 04/23/2025 (Wed) 17:40:00 Id: d324eb No. 1228485 [Reply] [Last]
I fucking loathe difficulty sliders. They are constantly used by inferior developers with no balls to make casual experiences that can adapt to the widest possible crowd, and to easily avoid actually balancing and properly, carefully designing all scenarios around the game. It shouldn't be up to player to choose difficulty. At most, the player should choose an harder special condition mode like Ironman, limited saves, survival mechanics/bars or 1 hit kill runs, but the idea that the game design should be compromised by modifiers into adapting to the player is utter shite. It's the player that should adapt to the game design to progress through the game, but cowardly developers. It even ruins the day to those players who aren't retards when the hardest mode is some trash mode with super tanky enemies because it's usually very hard to find the "intended" difficulty mode agreed upon to be what the developers designed he game around.

Dolls Nest by Nitroplus is out. I expect a lot of anons are going to play it. I've just downloaded it, but I'm still at work for a few more hours... The demo was a bit clunky but I liked it a lot still, so I have really high hoped for the mechamusume souls.

Ship management games? Anonymous 04/22/2025 (Tue) 23:06:25 Id: e48b5b No. 1218391 [Reply] >>1376168
As title suggests do any of you know of any games like FTL? I'd prefer it focus on ship to ship combat but I'll take what I can get.
22 posts and 6 images omitted.
>>1218391 (OP) For some non-space games, take a look at Barotrauma & Sunless Sea which has more of narrative focus. If you find Sunless Sea interesting, pirate it, because key devs were ousted from the company afterwards, and they went on to found Weather Factory (Cultist Simulator, Book of Hours). Sunless Skies goes to show that they were key devs because, apparently, that game's not very good.
You left this pretty open, so I'll suggest Pulsar: Lost Colony, which is basically FTL but (mostly)multiplayer and 3d. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=AENwIX76xvM&t=93

Dispatch Anonymous 05/30/2025 (Fri) 20:01:57 Id: 350702 No. 1419123 [Reply] >>1437134>>1439238
Did anybody else try the demo? I liked the occasional Telltale game back in the day, so I was curious about Dispatch when it was announced. The premise of you being a 911 operator for superheroes is good, and I think the cast looked fun. The e-celeb voice cast seemed like a terrible idea though. After playing the demo I'm still on the fence. The actual gameplay of getting a call and sending the best character you have to deal with it seemed good enough. It was very shallow, but I think it can work for a story driven game like this if they do a good job of making your choices matter. The writing is peak millennial slop though. The old nigger said "fuck" about 50 times in the 30 minute demo. Quips galore. I still like the premise, but the writing might make me skip it.

(147.58 KB 800x1055 mobygames_cover.jpg)

>>1419123 (OP) Mechanically it sounds vaguely like the Superhero League of Hoboken. In Hoboken, you still play the superheroes - but it's more of an Adventure Game with some RPG elements tagged on. You control an entire team of superheroes and as situations arise you have to pick the best member to solve it. So instead of items to use to solve puzzles, you have seemingly useless "Mystery Men"-like powers to use in novel ways. So who you pick to be part of your team at any given time will determine what missions you'll be able to progress through.

Do people actually enjoy Diablo and games like Diablo? Anonymous 05/22/2025 (Thu) 00:09:49 Id: cf52e6 No. 1388394 [Reply] >>1436365
Why do people enjoy this dogshit? Are they pretending? The entire gameplay is just spamming one button and hoping you don't die, might as well play cookie clicker. The staff of the sorcerer needs to be recharged lmao it has a battery or what? I tried playing it for about 5 hours and I genuinely don't understand what's so good about it. Maybe people 30 years ago were amazed by seeing something happen on the screen after pressing a button but nowadays some trash chink gacha on mobile is more fun and has better gameplay.

>>1388394 (OP) >Do people actually enjoy Diablo and games like Diablo? Seems like it, considering they've been making these games for more than two decades now.
as a casual who doesn't care much beyond beyond clearing the game on all three difficulties, the minmax grind sounds downright masochistic and miserable. the runeword grind alone makes me wanna puke. i don't know who could possibly enjoy farming equips just to make number go up, especially the one thing i don't like about games like it is that without number crunching/wiki autism (e.g. distribute your points exactly like this or you lose dmg) you're at a disadvantage. of course devs inevitably end up balancing stuff around the wiki autist minmaxers so you end up being forced to partake in it, skipping the discovery/experimentation phase and skipping straight to the endgame.
>>1436745 This is all caused by the synergy patch. Diablo 2 wasn't as heavy with farming to just progress. When we got the synergy patch they had to bloat the monsters stats. I remember when I was slowly making my way through Act IV Hell on a concentration maul barbarian and then downloaded the new patch and he could only hang in Nightmare due to how fucked the gear scaling became. This is partly why I enjoy Diablo I more than II. You can get by with either the items you find naturally on your descent, or find some magical gear to purchase from Griswold or Wirt. There was also a reason to pick up every magical item. People claim Diablo II has superb itemization, but there's only certain magical items they are looking for so most items that aren't normal won't be picked up. In Diablo I every magical item can be a potential upgrade. Sure there are less modifiers on magical items in Diablo I, but there is always excitement in finding any blue item. There was a run in which I did Hell with a Saber because it spawned with a high enhanced damage percentage and chance to hit which out did other weapons in damage regardless of their items higher base damage. I won't be picking up a blue short sword in Act IV/V normal in Diablo II because there's almost nothing that can spawn on it that'll out do other weapons types I've unlocked as I've progressed. Then you can compound that with early rune words that give modifiers that blue magical items simply can't give like crushing blow or open wounds, or a flat out +1 to all skills. Sadly ARPGs took the grind item treadmill from Diablo II rather than being one and done in a play session of Diablo I. I guess that's to be expected, more games are geared towards keeping a player playing the game across many years rather than being a concise session that the player might revisit in a year or two and spend a week on.

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon Anonymous 04/26/2025 (Sat) 22:57:32 Id: 36eaab No. 1267868 [Reply]
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

Seriously, hearing the Jailer say >Here in the jail we punish >Or at least we're meant to >I'm supposed to be intimidating >GRRR Completely killed any immersion I might have had in this world. 300 neurotic quirky side characters all at the same time just fucking killed it for me and it's a shame because outside the first Merchant you find (which has a lore reason for being quirky) the game took itself seriously. Should we write a meaningful well thought out character? No fuck that! Just make him autistic and completely out of place! It's ok, it's optional!
>>1428223 The writing is just of overall shit quality. One dimensional NPCs (hi, I'm a guard, here's my life story and a quest that goes along with it), flat side quests. I've read more interesting quests in MMOs. The lolrandom humour's best example is the quest where you get an explosive package in order to blow open a sealed tomb. Inside you find an undead cook who is obsessed with cheese. Completing the quest line gives you a spell that turns targets into cheese.
>>1436353 The issue isn't even the concept, you can do that silly stuff without shit writing that doesn't take itself seriously. Why can't these faggots just be genuine? Why does everything have to be sarcastic and quirky and shit, fucking hell.

>>1406263 (OP) Most games in that list are very mediocre, especially your pic rel. Uchikoshi is a hack but those games succeeded in being worse and less entertaining than ZTD, of all things. EVNs just aren't good in general. In recent memory, the one of the few with promise in this genre coming from the west was Of The Devil, and it's still unfinished. I'll let anons be the judge regarding the artstyle, but like most of the ones in the list, it doesn't look very good to me. At least the writing and atmosphere are really on point compared to most western productions trying to ape ace attorney, danganronpa or zero escape. Most fail really hard when it comes to sound design or presentation.

>>1427365 I had high hopes for Birth ME Code but it turned out to be very poorly-written and the gimmick was just that — a gimmick. As far as EVNs go the only good one, and it’s deservedly a legend (even in Japan) is DDLC. The Project Libatina game was supposed to come a few years after but it never did. Salvato claims to be working on two new VNs at least one of them is said to be related to DDLC which I really, really hope is Project Libatina / Portrait of Markov; if it is the hype will be massive. Besides DDLC I really can’t think of any noteworthy games. Just Dangaronpa copies and fan games. Maybe Slay the Princess counts? I haven’t heard of Of The Devil.

Old thread finally expired, and from searching archives I've heard the halfchan jannies hated threads for the game existing. so let's have a new thread on the French indie third person shooter Onirism. Discuss >favorite weapons >favorite costumes >has anyone actually played the multiplayer vs. actual people? I personally really like the rustic boomstick since it can 1HKO most normal enemies at a decent range and 2HKO those that it can't while dealing lots of damage to big targets with weapon swapping. It starts to lose effectiveness in the newest areas though.
