Those Fandom niggers closed the https://vsrecommendedgames.fandom.com/ Where else can I find the cool recommended game lists? I'd like one for the NDS. Did anyone save its contents? Did anyone manage to transfer it to a different site?

Hello folks, I've been out of the loop for a while, any news on the city building front? Last good thing I've played probably was W&R, nothing else comes close to it imo, in terms of how satisfying actually planning and building turns out, even though I think the game lacks some balance.

Good ones, bad ones, quick ones, long ones, static ones, moving ones, or ones that are inventive. If you have a loading screen you find interesting, post em. Personally, I like the ones in the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game. The loading times are kinda ass even by PS1 standards but they have a great & memorable look to them (especially the wireframe preview of the level), are unique to each level, and shows you a few tasks to look at to pass the time.

I do not care about Minecraft nor cannot figure out how it manage to get a movie. I do not get its massive popularity. I don't understand how Steve is in Smash. I thought it was some small indie game long time ago.

No pixel art. I am sick of it. I want 2d animation but the only people that do that are vanillaware, ubisoft and the occasional indie. Why aren't big companies making 2d games anymore? Don't even try to tell me that is is to expensive. Studios are wasting 200 million and more per game nowadays. They can afford 2d animation. I also hate that out of all the big companies the only one doing 2d is fucking Ubisoft. The company that I hate the most. Vanillaware is only AA at most and they are pretty much carrying 2d animation in gaming. Apparently George Kamitani was quite disappointed how the industry super focused on 3d. He therefore started focusing on 2d games, something about wanting to see how the industry would be like had we evolved from pixels to handdrawn instead of 3d. I want to see that as well. Hollow knight is another good one, and its indie as well. Has a very adorable artstyle and is one of few metroidvanias that isn't fucking pixels. Cuphead is/was an indie game that also has great animation. The artstyle is very unique as well. Never played it myself though, no reason in particular. I wish I had more examples but I already posted the UC examples in the thread about it and I can't find the gif of rayman blowing a fairys skirt up. Whatever opinion you might have on any of the games mentioned most of them were successes. UC sold a million, The rayman games sold great (I think?), Cuphead and hollow knight are selling fantastically. Clearly there is a demand for it and yet so little supply.

30 hours in. I'm still nowhere strong enough to survive anywhere. The old man in front of the dungeon called me weak as fuck. Where am I supposed to go to get those super weapons and armors? I'm still on platinum set...

Has 8Chan heard the good word of the Taopilled Parrykino metroidvania of the year? The Artbook just released and there's an event going on in the dev's 'cord dripfeeding us background lore for the next two weeks. If you've played, how hard did you rage at the final boss before you finally began to flow like water and master it? And most importantly, who is best girl?

This is a thread for all Gacha games other than Blue Archive and Granblue since they've been grandfathered in. This thread will be deleted if 4chan returns and is mainly made due to the influx of gacha threads. Thank you for using 8chan Protip: You can also post Gacha threads on >>>/vb/

Is this game any good? Should I play it? Have you?

I kept hearing about how much of a grand masterpiece this game was just to find it out it was a just a small indie puzzle box with a SUPER OBNOXIOUS central mechanic to pad out the playtime. The gimmick, puzzles having a time limit, is, by itself, a good one. It forces you to challenge the puzzles asymmetrically. But, in order to make the gimmick work, the game needs a mechanic to back-track and that’s what the looping is for — and it’s gets old FAST. The game is not large, it’s quite small in fact, so being forced to reset and do the same puzzles over and over and over again to progress drags the game way down.

I've been struggling to make a thread like this because of how to express such a niche topic that gets zero attention. But here goes: Over the past few years, a certain game Genshit Impact blew up and changed the mobile market completely. A key factor to its success was not only that it was chinkshit BOTW but it was playable outside of muh wife's boyfriend's Switch for "free." Suddenly, the field went from disposable side games played by turd worlders to being taken seriously overnight. And with it came the copycats, and with that came the need to grow and grab more dollars free of Grapple and Gulag's clutches. Thus the PC clients and controller support rolled out. The advent of Unity and Unreal to Eastern devs, combined with chinks and gooks growing up with always online games and expanding in soft power, while the Nipponese gravitate increasingly towards portability, has resulted in a glut of titles that are available on both PC and phones (sometimes web). As more and more of them come out, some of them, in the spirit of Ross Freeman, convert themselves into packaged games you can purchase on retail. Some mobile devs capitalize off their success on phones to develop real hardcore games. Meanwhile, hardcore games have slowly adopted the same live service trappings of mobile titles, and handheld game ports are making more money than ever. <battle passes <microtransaction shops, lootboxes, and gachas <deckbuilding <wikis and metas <"gameplay loops" <limited time collabs and crossovers All the talk about normalfag gamers suddenly discovering indie games is BS as Palworld and Helldivers 2 were both live service games that happened to have the aesthetic of hardcore games. This development is what flash games and handheld titles were leading up to. My thesis is that games will eventually be designed for both mobile and PC from the ground up, due to the rise of the East in influence, and the future of gaming relies on the direction this development takes, for the better or worse. Ideally all games will start out free, replacing traditional demos, but there will be an option to buy the game outright or play it with microtransactions. Alternatively, hardcore games will be ported to ARM as we are starting to see over the years, with Crapple and Microshit making a huge push with ISA translation. Pros >devs essentially have more creative freedom >low budget and barrier of entry, means a return to the PS2 era of development >shift to developing for multiple resolutions which helps with preservation as upscaling and temporal aliasing become more popular; something I've seen that is interesting is that some mobile games are designed at a 1:1 ratio so they can adapt to any screen >smaller gaymen devices are kewl

Which game do you think has the best one and how often do you spend on it?

Greentext at least one problem and find solutions to the problem. 1) Bland "brown and bloom" colors and graphics, uncreative, uninviting, and visually unstimulating, that reduce atmosphere, emotional impact, and uniqueness 2) Crunch culture where employees work long hours under intense pressure to meet deadlines and deliver products, causing burnout and decreased product quaality 3) Degradation of the hobby as gaming became international and developers adapted design to cater to broader demographics 4) Digital rights management that requires online server authentication, or negatively impacts game performance, or limits how you can use the game 5) Diversity, equity, and inclusion biasing hiring processes at the expense of skills which reduces studio performance, competence, and morale 6) Excessive DLC that fragments the gaming experience, locking content behind additional purchases instead of including it in the initial release 7) Exploiting, cheating, and hacking online like aimbots and wallhacks, offline players usually know each other which discouraged local cheating due to social consequences 8) Game-as-a-service models, subscription and cloud services for gaming where you (((own nothing and be happy))) 9) Hyper-realism instead of artistic and aesthetic style, making games look generic as they strive for similar fidelity and lose unique artistic identity 10) Input lag making games feel more unresponsive, particularly in genres like fighting games, first-person shooters, or platformers needing precise movements or combos 11) Kernel-level anticheat that violate privacy and increases the risk malicious actors exploit security vulnerabiltiies to infect gamers with malware 12) Limited physical releases where many modern games are digital-only, and companies assume digital distribution, the PS5 Pro even lacks a disc drive 13) Loading screen saturation that frequently interrupts gameplay, wastes time, and breaks immersion 14) Monetization, microtransactions, loot boxes, and gambling mechanics and how developers design games around compulsive spending of players instead of delivering quality content 15) Movie games requiring significant "Triple A" budgets and minimizing player agency by sidelining gameplay and how they interact with the game world 16) Pay-to-win mechanics that let players gain advantages by purchasing powerful items or upgrades, undermining fair competition
