Games where you play as a Merchant Anonymous 03/19/2025 (Wed) 20:35:26 Id: 07e6fa No. 1080891 [Reply]
Games where you engage in mercantile activities, preferably fantasy/historical rather than modern businessman shit. Not the same type of fantasy. Recettear is a pretty classic example and involves you running a shop in a fantasy JRPG world. Port Royale 2 is a great game set in the Carribean where you play as a merchant/Privateer going around the Carribean selling shit to different towns and nations, engaging in wars, hunting pirates etc. Unfortunately, it does not really allow you to be a pirate. The economy is pretty complex from what I've seen and many games do not get to the same level as this one.

Graphical Stagnation and Regression Anonymous 01/16/2025 (Thu) 22:02:27 Id: 083375 No. 1061748 [Reply] [Last]
<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.

>>1071087 Ironically, one of the techniques which is integral to oil's typical "licked finish", glazing, is the application of translucent layers of paint.
It’s the competency crisis. Graphics engines is no longer a core talent set of game developers. If it’s not in Unreal or Unity forget it. That means visual quality will never improve and only get worse as devs just pile on higher-resolution textures and turn on more engine options as hardware features arrive. To get really high-quality visuals requires devs with a deep knowledge of and talent with pixel shaders and lighting engineered into custom engines to achieve specific desired effects — and such people no longer exist in the industry. Even maintaining old AAA studio custom engines has become too burdensome for today’s devs. No matter how much money or how many years are put into modern games they simply don’t have the talent base to move the needle forward or even to produce the best results in existing engines.
>>1061920 Watching this video is an exercise in frustration. I certainly prefer that an editor leave it up to the viewer to rewind where necessary instead of belaboring everything for retards but this asshole is showing motion comparison shots and flipping the comparison after like a tenth of a second. With text descriptors. While he's narrating. What in the fuck. It's the same dogshit as Anon making a compilation with music where you have to pause constantly to read anything (because a given still might take several seconds to read but it shown for maybe two seconds) and thus fuck up the music and the whole point of the video. I am angery.

I want COD to go back to their classic "war is hell" type style. Show the brutality and evil of both sides. I don't even give a single fuck about the multiplayer, I want solid singleplayer stories again, the kind that stick with you long after the game is over.

Sonic the Hedgehog Anonymous 10/15/2024 (Tue) 09:45:27 Id: 824c4a No. 1027938 [Reply] [Last]
With Sonic X Shadow Generations coming out in less than a week, now is a good time for a new Sonic thread. Personally I'm quite excited for the game, and am surprised it hasn't already leaked since it usually leaks around this time. Although I'm kinda disappointed we haven't seen a proper Adventure remake yet, hopefully this game will be good and will lead to good things as time goes on. Oh, and hopefully we'll get a Shadow remake that's actually good this time. I doubt SEGA has the balls to make that kinda game in the modern age though. Are you looking forward to Shadow Generations? Do you think we'll get more Sonic stages as DLC? Or will the game just be average and a waste of money and the cycle will repeat itself all over again, even though Frontiers as a modded game is solid. Still, this is the thread to discuss anything and everything Sonic the Hedgehog! please don't porn dump, I'm looking at you Bui

The Death of Arena Shooters Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 01:31:26 Id: 54ddba No. 1092808 [Reply] [Last] >>1364962
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

>>1092808 (OP) PvP in general is dead outside of very cancerous forms, and even those cancerous forms are barely functional due to how widespread cheating has become. Arena shooters in particular are dead because, like RTS and fighting games, their developers fell for the compfag memes and completely disregarded the newcomer experience, and once they didn't become gigarich from esports money they wrote off the whole genre. >>1364326 Most of the seething about CoD is second-hand autism that always had questionable accuracy: notice how nobody mentioned the controversy about MW2 killing LAN play and dedicated servers yet, or the removal of bots as an option for multiplayer (later reintroduced), or the killstreaks and the way they snowballed matches... The funniest thing is, nowadays CoD is far more about movement than shooting, but in the worst way possible since it all boils down to hitbox displacement and high angular rates messing with aim assist.
>>1364962 They're controversies because it's an impactful decision in what was an extremely popular game at its time. If CoD weren't popular and came up with these things, then no one would care in the first place because it would have basically no impact in the industry. Besides, it's their more popular and approachable game design that killed arena shooters, simple as that, none of the things you mentioned would impact the existence of arena shooters in a vacuum, CS still uses LAN at tournaments and does okay with online only for competitive, and bots have always been a huge meme in all games other than UT and Q3 in regards to bot competency. >nowadays CoD is far more about movement than shooting People saw that Titanfall 2 was well received and a decent attempt at giving depth to CoD-likes and started copying shit from there without understanding why it worked there in the first place. I physically wince every time I see a player sliding during my first impression of a new FPS. Nu-CoD is as detestable as it has ever been because it didn't fix at all the main issues that the game has when it comes to comparing it to any other decent FPS.

https://gf2exilium.sunborngame.com/ So this just came out globally recently. Is anyone playing it? Any fans of the original mobage/kusoge? This one plays a lot like XCOM, kind of. The similarities end pretty quickly when compared to XCOM but it's the best one most people will be familiar with. The visual style is 3D anime, but in my opinion, tastefully done. Not a shill by the way
