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.

Which video game story comes the closest to Aristotelian perfection? Anonymous 07/26/2025 (Sat) 05:09:54 Id: 0cbb67 No. 1605074 [Reply]

By Aristotelian perfection, I mean which video game story comes the closest to meeting the standards for a perfect story Aristotle lays down in his Poetics? I've been thinking about this for a while, and the closest I can think of is Metal Gear Solid 1. >It has a fairly solid unity of action. There are a few diversions, but most of the plot beats contribute directly to the main action of Snake stopping the terrorists >It takes place in less than 24 hours >It takes place in one location (Shadow Moses) >the characters clearly express their thoughts through their words and actions >Snake and Liquid are long lost relatives who are forced to fight each other by fate >Even though Snake survives, the uncertainty of his fate due to Foxdie still provokes fear and pity in the audience (we know from later games that he lives, but I'm just talking about MGS1 as a self-contained story here) >The game makes excellent use of spectacle, which Aristotle liked

>>1606497 The 24 hour limit is really limiting for video games due to games complex enough to have a "real" story also being large enough to warrant longer stories. Come to think of it though, a lot of the early "excuse" stories do qualify., especially if one takes "single physical location" to include bigger locations like "city" >a giant ape has kidnapped a woman and climbed to high parts of a construction site with her >a mad scientist has turned helper robots into villains and now they're rampaging across the city For a straight, relatively modern, example what about Portal? >the tragedy is the AI went crazy or (counting Portal 2) that Cave Johnson stuck his secretary into a computer to become a crazy AI >no indication is given that either game takes place in anything more or less than real time >everything takes place at the Enrichment Center or (in the ending) its campus

>>1606817 Aristotle focuses mostly on tragedy, but some of his points, like the three unities, can be applied to other genres. The main reason he prefers tragedy to epic poems (which usually were usually either quest narratives, war narratives, or both) is because they tend to have a greater unity of action, whereas epics often have diversions that distract too much from the main plot.

Got around to pirating this finally, and more power to whatever psychotics out there that have the patience to play this game. I think around day 30 of getting fucked in the ass repeatedly by RNG I modded infinite resources and even with that trying to put together rooms to make progress was tedious, and all I did was get the straightforward, unsatisfying non-ending. The idea of a roguelite puzzle game isn't complete anathema to me, I just don't think that they needed to go as far as they did to null progress and waste time in between the time and effort needed to solve some of these esoteric puzzles. It just isn't worth the effort, at least not to me. The puzzles themselves can be fun and I liked what was being built up of the story/setting/characters but I definitely wasn't hooked enough to put up with this.

Finally got around to playing this. An excellent game and it's definitely fun, but I threw the towel at around the moment I started reading The Clue and got 4 Sigils. There's definitely a lot to enjoy in the game, even if you struggle against the RNG on principle (which is frankly a lot easier to deal with than some people here imply), but somehow they went crazier and farther than even Noita puzzles and that's just... not healthy unless you're in the turbo autismo territory. Just lightly gazing at The Clue fills me with an indescribable laziness, just imagining all the obtuse hard work it takes for just the slightest hints at the most obscure of things. Also not having some sort of database where you can look up all text you've read before is super annoying for no good reason. I ended up combining screenshots, book recordings and notes manually but jesus fucking christ what a hassle. And then it some fucking how gets even worse than that. I defended the RNG earlier, but some requirements are clearly very annoying to reach for some endings. Not even Noita was this bad, holy fuck. 8/10 Outer Wilds is still better.

Not Enjoying Games Anymore? Anonymous 04/30/2025 (Wed) 06:23:37 Id: d88aab No. 1289861 [Reply] [Last]

This is sort of a meta thread, so feel free to remove it if it's the wrong place for this. Anyway, have you all ever become burnt out on video games? I've felt like recently no matter what I play, I just can't enjoy it. I get the initial enjoyment of starting the game that I've been thinking about for a very long time, but I just don't have the reason or motivation to care to see it through, and the more I force myself to continue the game, the more I hate it. The last time I enjoyed a game was when I was playing through the MGS series. I racked up a list of things I wanted to play or replay because at that moment, I was solely focused on playing MGS. After I finished, I took a short break and decided I wanted to play DMC, since I tried it a long time ago and thought maybe I'd enjoy it on another attempt. I started out liking it, but slowly began to hate it, and eventually I dropped it. I went on to replay Nier after that because I remember very fondly those characters and wanted to check it out again, but didn't have the investment to see past the first few hours. Then a friend bought me Death Stranding, another game I disliked before, but decided I would give another go. After about 5 hours, I lost steam for it. I then tried to play Thief, a brand new game, and while I loved the game's atmosphere and think it's amazingly designed, I quit that one, too, because it just didn't spark anything in me. Now I've been fiending for a Sekiro replay after getting more into samurai films, and Sekiro is one of my favorites, but even now I feel like I'd rather be playing something else, like Ghost of Tsushima or Nier. On the flip side, I played Shantae somewhere in between those games and was hooked, I loved it, and I'm replaying Morrowind right now because it's a game that's near to my heart and am similarly in love with it. I know I can like games, but for some reason, I just can't enjoy the ones I feel so interested in playing. There's just something missing from me that's not letting me enjoy new games. I've mostly just resigned to doing my other hobbies by now. It makes me very frustrated, though, like something's broken about me. It's as if I like the idea of playing these games than actually playing them. I want to like them, but I just can't. Have you anons ever experienced this issue? How did you fix it?

>>1595360 >it's similar to Scarlet and Violet but with many new features and had zero bugs that would ruin the experience 99% chance this is ragebait but first off, it isn't even the same genre as pokemon as others have said, and as you will find out if you play it for 5 minutes, it is a 1:1 ARK clone that replaces the taming mechanic with pokeballs and adds some mechanics from BotW the game was born as a pokemon skinpack for ARK it has fuck all to do with Scarlet and Violet, other than the designs it clearly plagiarized, and the BotW style pokeball second, idk about today, but on launch when everyone was raving about it was absolutely blasted up the ass with bugs and glitches, did you even play it? I don't even know if it ran any better than SV on a machine comparable to a switch the reason it was so infamous is because it's a soulless hodgepodge of all the highest selling games at the time Fortnite-like movement and bitches, gadgets from BotW, pokemon catching mechanics and creatures, factorio gameplay, all over ARK's basic structure it is a symptom of a dead industry addicted to remix culture

>>1495109 I'd say that a successful indie game also has to allow for infinite replayability in the form of customizing their difficulty or allowing for player expression (i.e. movement options, player choices affecting the game more than just on the base story etc.) I think Balatro is a great example of that because the basic rules are very simple but you can just add to them indefinitely until it's an unrecognizable mess from the original game. Also it has to have huge coomer bait like >>1594758 >>1546765 Have you looked at this semen demon, anon?

The Death of Arena Shooters Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 01:31:26 Id: 54ddba No. 1092808 [Reply] [Last]

Why did arena shooters die off? Now all anybody plays for fps games is cod, apex legends, valorant, or some other garbage. If you can't find enjoyment in the gameplay aspect of a game inside of multiplayer and single player that game is shit and the only reason you like it is because you like competing with other people. I can play UT99 all day against bots and have a good time yet if I did that in a game like cod shit would be so unfun it's not even funny

>>1206326 There have been better written versions of this explanation, but this is it and has always been it. Arena shooters were only truly popular for two or three years, quickly became an niche, and died out. They were never some staple or mainstay of gaming. The first true arena shooter is probably 1999's Unreal Tournament and the last big one was 2007's Unreal Tournament 3, an usual outlier released years into the genre's decline. There is only 8 years between "first of its kind" and "belated swansong". Overwatch has been around longer than arena FPS. Let it go, 35+ anons.

Anonymous 07/28/2025 (Mon) 11:12:36 Id: 34e928 No. 1610915

>>1610848 Other part was, when these games came out, PC gaming and multiplayer were a novel concept. You had a steady stream of new players getting their first PC and a 56k modem and wanted to try playing against more than one person (It was common to connect to someone local because the phone charges back then would have killed you for long distance). The lack of competition from other games also helped.

Anonymous 07/28/2025 (Mon) 12:23:44 Id: 4a06a9 No. 1611007

>>1610915 As said, this has been much better explained. And as you mention, the reason arena shooters even took off was the novelty and lack of competition. I'd argue there were already better MP FPS like Team Fortress and CS, but for the masses arena shooters were a good entry point. Very simple, easy to learn, high skill ceiling. Another reason they died is because the wider genre evolved while arena FPS didn't, it was hard to compare UT3 to TF2 - both 2007 - and decide "UT3 is the game I want to main". That goes for a lot of other MP FPS of the era. Arena shooters were a fad early in the history of online shooters, and not even a long lived one.

Otherwise what would the point of NPCs even be, just other survivors to watch get killed on their own within like ten seconds of running into a horde?

Angry because it's a survival game and not milsim autism. >>1595352 I think the issue with NPCs is how difficult they would be to implement in a game like Project Zomboid. At best, they'd be vendors or skill trainers. At worst, they'd be slightly more advanced zombies. PZ is a huge game with a lot of interacting systems, building NPC AI that could handle that and feel organic doesn't seem like a task a random indie team could handle. Actually good video game AI is infamously elusive.

In this installment Samuel Porter Bridges receives lessons from Mamoru Oshii on becoming a ninja turtle slash rabbit. And something about an Italian Solid Snake knockoff. Also the AAA industry gets BTFOed by a title that looks better than their shoddy gaytracing with only precalculated lighting. It's tailor-made for this board. I was waffling on whether to make this thread since for now the game is a timed exclusive for Piss5, but it seems like there's sufficient fodder for discussion. DS2 is going to make its way to every platform eventually and it's virtually a movie anyways. Plus the trailers spoil the game's entire plot.

It turned out not to be a movie game after all, with its cutscenes taking the form of short skits. The result ends up bizarre if you ask me. Reedus must have been told to act even more deadpan this time around so he fully came off as some self insert homunculus instead of a human character. The Uncomfortable Man. An uncomfortable director? There wasn't much screentime and none of the characters got enough of it, the game periodically called me into the deen's office then quickly spit me back out into the gameplay world to fuck around in. The last act had the merit of being incredibly more entertaining than last time. Otherwise the game's good to play, i'd say much improved even if the systemic flaws remained identical.

This game has popped up in the news again but not for what you think. Truly an endorsement. Death Stranding 2's graphics are so good UK citizens have been using them to bypass British age verification and face ID laws by taking in-game photos of Norman Reedus's face https://archive.fo/siPZz
