What are your hopes, dreams, expectations, reservations, etc.? Is it possible to live up to the hype? Will we finally be able to pilot Samus's ship? Why is Sylux such a jobber? Why are there vaginas everywhere on Viewros? <Latest gameplay trailers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b53LOjS2R4U

>>1189434 Funny that you mention Bionicle. When I got the collectors edition of Metroid dread, my family remarked Samus looks link one. And I can see it, especially with the movie versions. A humanoid looking mostly robotic, but with visible muscle and glowing highlights. Now that I'm thinking about it, Metroid and Bionicle have a lot of simulaties: >Collectables that are ancient artefacts that grand new powers just hidden around the place >Said collectables can only be used by the chosen one(s) >Fetch quest of said collectables occasionally gets reset for contrived reasons >Highly advanced technology that looks like magic, but also primitive stuff like history carved in stone walls and spears >Changes of armor, both updates, and design changes that aren't explained (varia looks different almost every game) >Main character(s) have to fight local wildlife before facing the actual enemy >Main character(s) arrive years after the conflict started >Main villain used to be an high ranking figure on the good side before just deciding to defect inspired by previous bad guys. This happens before the start of the first chapter of the story. >The place the story takes place in gets completely destroyed beyond repair at the end >A chapter where the main hero(es) get poisoned, destroying their minds, but also giving them more power. The poison get removed and their biology just gets reset with no traced left of the corruption and the power that came with it, despite big visible changes while the corruption was active. (Prime 3, Hordika arc) >Origin story gets explained in a later chapter

DARKITY DARK DARKNESS Some thread questions >Favorite entry? >Favorite Heartless? >Favorite Keyblade? >Favorite character? >Favorite world? We're now in one of the longest gaps between mainline KH games. If KH4 comes out next year, they'll tie the the seven-year gap between Dream Drop Distance to Kingdom Hearts III. I miss major games being a regular occurrence, we've been almost exclusively getting flash and mobileshit for a decade plus now and it does not help the last major entry was a huge disappointment. On that note, is there any way to even play KHX and its spinoffs anymore? I have no idea if there's a preserved version archivists host, or if they were worth playing to begin with. They had really cute art.

The horrible death of Shenmue Anonymous 05/15/2025 (Thu) 07:25:44 Id: 3e0f72 No. 1360754 [Reply]

I just get myself thinking from time to time how horrible it is that Shenmue never reached it's completion, and how a complete piece of shit Shenmue III was, after so much trust was put into that hack Yu Suzuki, only to have him pocket the money and deliver essentially a filler episode while arrogantly announcing in the game's credits that there would be a guaranteed Shenmue IV after this fiasco. What would the industry be if Shenmue was actually successful? I'm not talking about Sega itself, but the industry as a whole. Would we ever have GTA III and it's current format? Would the whole tale of Shenmue ever be satisfying and become a memorable event in the history of video games and general media? How would anyone manage it better than it was (giving how utterly mismanaged this whole mess was since the first game, and even before that, during the Saturn phase of the project)? Was it ever possible for it to be successful with it's (mostly pretentious) proposal of a multi chapter game saga taking over 10 games to be complete, even before the first game was made? Does any anon here followed the news about Shenmue, the very first game, back in the day, and shares this lamentation about the series that was never completed, that comes from time to time when remembering it all? Was Shenmue III such a scam from the very start, as it seems to be? Or was it mismanaged (again) mid-production and became garbage due to too much "success" from the kikestarter and too much attention from the media and fans? This is just a mix of rant and daydreaming about the possibilities that never became a reality, that I tend to go back to from time to time, regarding this particular series, given how it truly felt like something so unique and out of the norm at it's beginning, mixed with the melancholy of never having it at least be completed, even if was just to make sure it was, indeed, garbage without any means of salvation, as it looks like now. What are you thoughts, anons?

Or at least giving him infinite pool of health, so you are still able to attack him, like other "essential" NPC in the SAME fucking camp. There was no reason to make this nigger special and you know it. They made 3 different options to handle that, but they insisted on making him untouchable instead.

>>1352841 I think Metal Max/Metal Saga is the only jRPG to ever pull off "open world" well, and it only works because 1: It's not a true "you can go anywhere right away", it's more you're locked into a region till you beat the boss the blocking the way to the next one. You could rush that boss right away, but in practice you're expected to do lots of what are nominally sidequests to gain power. 2: That only works because the game has so many vectors for growing stronger. It's not just character level, but equipment (which is more than just incremental gains, totally changing how you attack and the elements you have access to), vehicles and vehicle equipment (which is relatively "locked" in power, with character level having a noticeably small effect compared to new equipment), and occasional access to a shortcut/boss weakness/etc. 3: Those sidequests are only interesting because the world is whacky and the blank player character is allowed to make fun interactions.

Anonymous 05/14/2025 (Wed) 05:23:41 Id: 50c093 No. 1356368

>>1353850 Yeah, an open world JRPG or a semi-open one can work. It's what the Romancing Saga series is too, in a sense. It wouldn't work with Tales due to how character-focused the series is. You can't have open-ended stories like what happens in an open world with a tightly-bound and bonded cast unless you record tons of extra dialogue and write tons more lines to account for the dozens of permuations of progress and how it would related to characters developing and growing. You can get away with fixed characters or characters growing independently of each other, but as a party it would be a tangled web of branching paths and possible interactions if you wanted to do it right. What if we go to X town related to Y charcter first in stead of second, that kind of thing. Basically, it'd be really fucking expensive to do right, eat up a ton more resources and result in less effort elsewhere like graphics (and we can't have that in this day and age, god fucking forbid), or if Bamco isn't willing to put in the effort it'll cause too many issues for the character writing or result in static characters. I just don't see it working with the current team in charge. I'm sure it'll sell because of marketing horseshit but I expect it to be like Arise and not have much of a legacy outside of annoying normalfaggots comparing anything else anime style and open world to it. They could also do something like the Octopath games with mostly-fully-developed characters that affect the people around them and help those in their individual stories, with a tiny but of self-development, but that'll be such a sharp divergence for the series you'd be better of naming it something new. >>1330162 Still working on that playthrough, anon?

Obvious example would be Portal 2 which had a very competent puzzle mode for two players, plus some extensive modding capabilities.

I mostly play old fighting games on MAME, like Street Fighter 3rd Strike and Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Although, I am annoyed that many USA versions of arcade games got fucked over by the FBI. The FBI forced game devs to include the "Winners don't do drugs" screen in many 90s arcade games. I actually prefer European versions because they don't have this unnecessary forced PSA.

Unless you count arcade-like games like the Touhous, or NES' Gimmick and not just arcade games, no, I've never 1CC'd a game before; I'm very much a scrub when it comes to arcade games. At one point I wanted to 1CC either Metal Slug X/3 and maybe In The Hunt, but performance on MS always fell flat at Stage 2, on ITH it was immediate. Arcade emulation as a concept also hates my guts, MAME and Fightcade alike. I'm always getting filtered by the emulation setup and rom checking; like I wanted to get into Progear because a friend recommended it to me, but I couldn't for the life of me make it work. It was a miracle I got Metal Slug X running recently. Also, loosely related, but I made a doodle for a friend of mine, he is an arcade nerd (and also helped me to get MSX running). How much of a bad idea do you think it is to play a fighting game with shared inputs?

>>1347036 These Xbox consoles are absolute fucking shit. I learned last year after not having played my consoles for probably about a decade. My drive doesn't work anymore either for the Xbox OG and my 360 is a loud piece of crap with the disc tray constantly getting stuck. I also falsely remembered the 360 being backward compatible with all Xbox Original games but this was never the case. So I can't collect some of those obscure Xbox games now like I was planning. And yes I was also planning to play them. I decided fuck it its just not worth all the hassle. Perhaps at some point I will mod them like you but maybe they won't even work anymore soon enough. Meanwhile my old as shit PS2's work fine. Even my damn N64 and PS1 works. Even my Gameboy handhelds work although the Pokemon G/S batteries long died so no way I can save. But at least it still works as I would hope despite the age. Microsoft is an absolute piece of garbage company. They need to just go third party already and stop with these shitty consoles. All these Microsoft games would be better ported on PC anyways. But on the topic of Morrowind, doesn't this edition have even longer load times then the original? This was actually one of the reasons to get an Xbox over PS2 back in the day since gaming on PC wasn't as easy to get into or as cheap like it is now. Plus Morrowind as a console exclusive was absolutely a big deal and a huge plus for Xbox. PS2 doesn't have anything that can match it.
