SHOKUHO 1.0 IS OUT NIGGERS BANNERLORD WITH SAMURAI https://www.moddb.com/mods/shokuho https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3496296180

I've been wanting to do this forever but never got a chance to. Every time I think I hit the jackpot and I'm finally gonna have this sort of fun everyone else seems to have so easily, it just never goes nowhere because the other people's hearts aren't really into it For instance, everyone's online but when I ping them it's some bullshit like "uhh I'm VCing with a friend" or "I'm drinking water" or "I'm walking my pet fishes" trying to set up a date and time results in silence. It's frustrating. I tried going into a discord for it, but the people there were politics-obsessed faggots so that didn't go nicely either I don't mind weird shit in the game, I just wanna play. Everyone else has so many *crazy* TTRPG stories.. help a guy out? I don't know how any of this works but I'd like to try and do my best.

Haven't seen one since they unfucked the open beta, so let's have a thread.

Post and discuss all things LISA.

I predict a gaming crash will happen as a result of the failure of GTA 6. There's not enough consoles out there to support it's sales on a very bloated budget, so it will flop. I think we will see a ripple effect in the AAA gaming industry, maybe even a crash. What do you guys think? The best counter-argument I've seen is that they will make more off of microtransactions in VI's online, but I'm not sure if people will even want to switch from GTA:O.

Mistakenly posted this to >>>/vg/ just a moment ago. Mea culpa. Calling out to the Ashleyfags, scattered as we may be.

Have you ever had any dreams based on vidya, anon? Existing games or otherwise. I'll start with one I had a while ago: >Some sort of custom map, the part I'm in is some sort of long, blue, hexagonal tube with the bottom cut out and leaving a black abyss serving as a killzone, two white platforms lining either side (one above and one below), with doorways giving access for red on one side, and blu on the other (though the distance can be explosive jumped, but not scout doublejumped) >I am on BLU, playing soldier, on my side of the tube >Two RED soldiers are on the opposite side >rocket jumping around, hitting each other uselessly with their melees, exchanging voice lines, typical TF2 interactions >I whip out the righteous bison and start taking potshots >miss because it's the bison >one of the soldiers turns right towards me after my first shot misses, effortlessly steps out of the way of subsequent shots because again, it's the bison >actually intentionally steps back in front of my last two shots before I have to stop to reload, does the schadenfreude taunt, pain sounds interrupt the audio portion of it >he whips out his own righteous bison >we start blasting away at each other >neither of us can hit the other >other red soldier whips out his own bison and joins in >he can't hit anything either >the other players all start swapping to soldier and equipping the bison >start flooding into their respective halves of the tube

Why is there not a good one? I like being able to sit on my couch and scroll through all my games, looking at the covers. I do kinda like the ability to look at the back of the box, the spine, and the cart/disc art, too, but those things aren't as important. So all I want is a program that lets me do that, lets me sort my games autistically (you'd think the autists that make these things would understand the want for autistic sorting). Why can't I find one that just lets me make subfolders? I've searched online and found people legitimately just telling me to use Windows Explorer. Like yeah, I can make subfolders in that. But it sucks to use it with a controller on the couch, and doesn't look as nice. So why can't I make subfolders in Launchbox? All I want to do is... >sort all games alphabetically >but games within a series should all be in a subfolder together, and inside that subfolder, be sorted by release date. So actually I want all series sorted alphabetically, with different sorting inside the subfolders. (Launchbox Almost lets me do this. I can sort by series, and have one "series" that is "all games," but that's it.) >but within a series subfolder, I want to be able to make further subfolders. I want to group together ports of the same game, for example. When looking through the Sonic folder, I want Sonic 2 for Master System and Sonic 2 for Game Gear to be in the same subfolder. >and I might want another subfolder within that subfolder, because maybe I want to put different translations or romhacks or something together. >ideally, let me put custom art on each subfolder, or just show the art of the first thing in the folder, but with some sort of indication that it's a folder and not the game. Make the folders look nice, is my point. And oh yeah, I want a frontend that doesn't melt my fucking computer when I try to scroll through a list of like ten thousand games. The whole reason I want this is so I can look at boxart of every game ever made, or at least all the ones to come out on carts, since they take so little space by today's standards. Obviously low hardware usage should be top priority for a program that is ultimately this frivolous. I want to use all my hardware on the actual game. I've been using Launchbox, and have used EmulationStation before, but they both kinda suck balls. I've looked into others, but they all seem very similar, with the only difference being that others are even more of a pain in the ass to set up. They have so many useless features, but don't such basic, obvious things. Just let me look at boxart and sort it how I want. Why is that so hard? If they let me use layers of subfolders, it would limit how many jpegs need to be loaded at the same time, so it would presumably make it faster, since somehow that's a problem on Launchbox. I do not care about things like playing videos or demos. I don't even care about custom themes. I don't need any extra features like that. I just want to scroll through tons of boxart until I see one that makes me want to play the game. I just want to feel like I'm at Blockbuster in the '90s, but a Blockbuster that I can sort how I want, because it has too many games and thus needs to be sorted properly. Why is this so hard? You know what else is gay? That I can't just click a button and be taken to a website with the game's manual(s). Ideally I would save all the manuals locally, but that would take too much storage for the amount of games I want. But I know there are websites with tons and tons of manuals. Let me click and be taken right to the manual.

finally got to playing risk of rain 2 after being on my backlog for so long what are peoples thoughts on the game? i knew when it came out people really liked it but opinions changed?

For Mario discussion in general, like for the upcoming Mario kart world, Dk Bananza, etc.

And the old voice actors have been replaced. >A potential remake of Persona 4 Golden (or maybe even just vanilla Persona 4) has been rumoured for quite a while now, but it seems as though one of the original's voice actors has confirmed its existence. >Speaking on social media, Yuri Lowenthal, voice actor for Persona 4's Yosuke Hanamura, stated that he expressed a desire to return as the character for the remake, but unfortunately confirmed that Atlus apparently doesn't want him back. His deleted tweet <"And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don’t want me to come back." >Aside from the frankly bizarre decision to recast the role of Yosuke, Lowenthal's statement is the surest sign yet that a Persona 4 remake is on the way. Switch fans sadly missed out on the excellent Persona 3 Reload when it launched in 2024, but with the Switch 2 right around the corner, we reckon a port of Reload and a release of Persona 4 remake is practically inevitable. >Persona 4 Golden, the PS Vita revamp of the original game, made its way to the Nintendo Switch in 2023 after years of requests from staunch fans. It was also joined by Persona 3 Portable and Persona 5 Royal. The series stands as one of the most accomplished in the JRPG genre thanks to its effortlessly cool style and deep social mechanics.

This really needs its own thread because of how right STUPID this shit is. This is like banning RPGs on the Sega Saturn levels of stupid, all because of retarded twitter/reddit/discord politics. These people can't see outside their little Californian bubble, and it pisses me the fuck off. The console game market is run by people who hate games, that's the only excuse I can think of when explaining this malicious ignorance. It's been proven time and time again that these games sell as long as there's a good gameplay structure. Even with an above average gameplay structure, Stellar Blade selling over a million copies in the past year alone PROVES that now is the best time to release Senran Kagura IN SPITE of gaming journalists and the reddit/twitter/discord grooming audience. Not only that, but the entire mobile market with games like Blue Archive and NIKKE is making millions of dollars in capital. You could make the market that "Oh it's just whales", but I would argue that's not a legitimate excuse when Stellar Blade sells over a million copies and other games like fucking Capes don't even sell close to that. That's not to mention Flintlock that has its numbers inflated by Gamepass only sold half the amount of Stellar Blade with a much bigger marketing campaign. There's no excuse for this level of stupidity, but what can we do about it? Maybe we can contact shareholders and have them communicate our issues through them? There's no excuse for this level of incompetence, although I'd personally argue that it's maliciousness considering everything I've talked about. sauce: https://noisypixel.net/xseed-games-ken-berry-interview/ https://archive.ph/N2zJb

It's amazing how this game did everything right >Amazing dungeons >Good dungeon themes >Balanced difficulty. Neither too hard or too easy >Good story without being intrusive >0 filler in-between dungeons >Perfect amount of exploration Almost every 3d Zelda game that followed Ocarina has floundered one of these things in some way. Be it Majora's Mask's obnoxious filler and lack of meaningful content, Wind Waker's terrible filler and horrible piss easy dungeons, or twilight princess and skyward sword's atrocious filler and invasive stories. Can you even say the classic formula was overdone when no game outside of master quest actually bothered to improve or build upon it in a positive fashion? Seriously, I've replayed this game over twenty times not including master quest or randomizers and I've never gotten bored of it. Meanwhile, I try to replay Twilight Princess or Majora's Mask and I drop them whenever I'm faced with tedious filler.
