I don't think there's one set measure of when a game is "beaten", but the broadest definition is when the credits roll after finishing the final bit of whatever story a game has, or completing all the basic objectives a game has in the case of sandbox games with defined objectives (factorio, satisfactory, etc). You can play a game enough to understand it without beating it, and depending on the game you can also beat the game without really understanding how it works too well. For example: Voices of the Void is considered beaten on day 50 of story mode due to there being no more story events and the game telling you such, but you can get a feel for the gameplay and the tone of the game far before that. Rougelikes often serve as an opposite example, but Risk of Rain is a good one, you can beat Risk of Rain without understanding fully the game's systems or how to play all the characters well. Hell, there's a character and some upgrades locked behind beating the game. And then you get to the topic of multiple endings. Again it depends on the game. Some are clearly meant to be played through one after another due to drastic differences between them and shorter play time, while some games having different endings with different content is to aid in giving the player a sense of choice and consequence, and making the story more interesting, like the SMT games or Fallout 1/2/NV, and is not meant to be played through to every ending. On the other hand, some games even expect you to play all the routes in order since it makes up one big story, like the Sonic Adventure games, the Touhou fighting games' story modes, and NIER games. Speaking of fighting games, those too are an oddity. Most have a story or arcade mode you can beat, sure, but it won't indicate mastery or even a basic understanding of the game depending on the game and how complex the AI is. Yet you'd still have technically "beaten" the game upon completing said story modes or beating arcade/whatever the main mode is. Doesn't make you good at said game or even give you an understanding of it beyond a very basic level in most cases, especially when playing against "normal" AI and not setting it to maximum.

>>1566591 True, I didn't think of edge cases like that But since they are only edge cases, I don't think it's correct to use them as a standard

I don't think I can define what it means to 'beat' a game in a way that encompasses all the various types of games with their own intricacies. But I know it when I beat it.

How is the Ikemen rollback project going? Did it get merged into go, postponed? Haven't heard anything about it for a year or so.

>>1273063 Wait ikeman doesn't have rollback?

>>1271072 I know this post is several months old but it does make me wonder if there are any other archives dedicated to certain types, especially since I remember a certain R-18 edit of Akira Honjoji from a YouTube video that was taken down a long time ago and I don't know if that was preserved in some fashion.

>flop >job stolen >sell well >job stolen too lol

>>1568451 The Hi-Fi Rush approach, very shrew of Microsoft. Trust in Phil Spencer's plan.

Oh, my mistake. Virtuos isn't owned by Microshaft, they're a private company with thousands of employees and multiple studios. Briefly reading into them, they're not a studio but a collection of development houses. The layoffs are mainly affecting their Chinese branches, but some of the European devs who worked on Oblivion Remastered have been hit too.

>>1566023 >FlippyDrive How's is it compared to the GCLoader? I got the latter before the announcement of the FlippyDrive.

>>1566203 I dunno about the GCLoader, I previously just used the swiss memory card trick for Wind Waker / Melee.

Do exist any piece of hardware for upscaling console video output (like Lossless Scaling), or for applying antialiasing? Preferably for 480p consoles and PS3.

>>1567157 >>1567403 Pretty much every overrated game has a underwhelming endgame.

>>1567444 >>1567863 >>1567880 >actually responding to that obvious bait Come the fuck on anons, you're not dumb enough to see "cuckchan ahh thread 💀💀" and take it seriously. I know you're not. It's decent bait with the games, four random normalfag picks and one imageboard cult classic, but the the post itself shows poor restraint. "You're underage :^)" and "contrarian" are such old bait tropes I'm surprised he didn't throw "hipster" in for good measure.

>>1567920 OP is literally phoneposting and you're calling my post bait.

I just found some no-context footage of someone playing as the Essentia 2000.

>You haven't even played YIIK! You just know about it from the internet! <Don't worry, it's what the Allansons would've wanted.

Do I have to explain the joke to you people? Postmodernism in art is the theory that the artwork's context is just as significant as the actual artwork itself. C'mon, haven't any of you guys seen the Iced & Steel youtube review of it?

>>1550184 the 00s-20s are just the logical conclusion of the deterioration of Western culture since WWI. It didn't happen overnight.

>>1549221 I understand that making things minimal for the sake of simplicity and easier recognition of certain logos, but points like: >Digital Adaptability: Flat, minimalist designs perform better across diverse digital platforms >Digital Adaptability: Flat, minimalist designs perform better across diverse digital platforms >Brand Maturity: Many companies debrand to signal evolution from startup to established business sound incredibly retarded and make no sense.

>>1549221 The one and only reason minimalism is INTENTIONALY pushed is for demoralizaion. They hate you and want you dead and love to brag about it.

>>1549786 Post a pic putting your hand on the wall with a kippah, and all is forgiven!

>>1537341 I did, it's pretty simple and matches are short it's but really fun. Especially if you get a couple friends to play with. Still have to try a more PVP approach to it though.

>>1537341 Doesn't work on my shitty 4gb laptop, I'm getting mogged by browser games now kek Although I think it may be related to playing on Firefox as I saw some mention of this in the github, but I don't want Chromeshit either

sorry anon i'm already devoted to another takara tomy card game

Still going lads come on in.

>>1537170 That was a fun game night. Due to how many people showed up and some requests I'll host again on the 6th(today) at about the same time.

Someone hosted before me, it's currently up with the same details.

>>1533874 I want more bronze age games that aren't survival crafting shit or city builders

>>1533874 >80s fatigue You're a homo

>>1534386 I want to play as this guy in a FPS (First Person Stabber).

>>1531124 please don't start spam bumping old threads

>>1151120 My problem with the game (first one), is that the protagonist is 12, right? But he looks like he's 6, and acts, talks and thinks, like he's 4. He is slow and stupid and sucks. I want to play as someone else, please.

>>1531134 >don't respond to threads that are currently on the catalog for users to interact with Sorry babe, doin it anyway >>1531471 They probably did that to try to make it more cute or whatever for the Jap audience

>>1398182 >>1398192 It's a disservice to Germany to claim that they are responsible for this. It sure as shit wasn't ethnic Germans. ✡Bruno Taut✡ and ✡Erich Mendelsohn✡ were the architects responsible. They detested traditional German styles, choosing to subvert rather than imbue. Mendelsohn explicitly advocated “creative internationalism” in architecture that “dissolves borders and brings people together.” There was a conscious and purposeful movement to destroy objective beauty in art and architecture.

>>1398256 >Mendelsohn's Einsteinturm That shit is top tier though

>>1391797 >If we understand that people cannot readily read cursive >people Well they're genus Homo at least.

>>1937948 Hmm I guess I could go for material texturing with either HC patterns or just some material ones. didnt do it as much with these characters as opposed to the first 4 girls. Mainly decided to not use too much texturing because I knew it would very quickly extend time I spend on characters outfit plus wanting to stay a bit more in line with game's default visuals.

>>1937948 Will actualy add, the HC_patteron04 might work nicely since the stripes are prominent enough to give a general stripe design while the pattern between stripe is subtle enough to not feel overwhelming. might use it as a general pattern for the blazers themself. (still not sure if I wanna mess with ties in anyway, no pattern strikes me as interesting and I like the dark blue tie with blue shirt)

>>1937993 I mostly use the white or gray-ish on shirts (Returnee & Tomboy). The blond is among the very few I haven't used any patterns on a top.
