>>1200132 (OP) I only looked into this game once it won GOTY, and I'm just fucking baffled at how the hell anyone can praise it. In terms of gameplay there's absolutely no fucking depth, it's one of the easiest and simplest platformers I've seen. It just tries to constantly throw shallow theme parks at you with basic gimmicks, minimal exploration, and constant crossovers with dead IPs in the hopes that this will amuse you, and somehow the masses are absolutely enthralled by it. I remember hearing how it had a level that was a "love letter" to Ape Escape, but when I looked at a video of it I was presented with a generic little grassy area with a monkey Statue of Liberty being the only Ape Escape element, which made me think the level was meant to be a callback to the first level of AE2 but there aren't any other shared elements, and then you catch some Astro monkeys, fight some generic Astro Bot enemies, and then do a very basic boss fight against a Spencer bot. That was it, that was the supposed love letter I just can't understand how anyone can praise the game, I liked modern collectathons like Hat in Time or Demon Turf enough so it's not like I'm a bitter old man who hates new games, Astro Bot just seems like it fails to have any significant positive qualities beyond being a functional game

>>1200132 (OP) I watched a playthrough of it. Not only did it feel conceptually like "Sony's attempt at Mario," the aesthetic and thematic scenarios in which Astro found himself looked to me like literal 1:1 theft copies of Nintendo's previous Mario work. I was sort of astounded at how close they went ahead and made levels look/feel like Mario. But the game really is just "look at all the intellectual properties we either own or used to own and shat down our legs due to incompetence," isn't it? I'm honestly surprised there wasn't a Concord level.

>Mario wasn't an overbranded cynical cash grab. Mario wasn't a wink at the camera shallow "how do you do fellow kids" attempt at normalizing the worship of corporate tech products. Lmfao

ITT absolute cancer

>>1062230 It's okay but showing its age. Yamaha or another competitor tried to crowbar in more AI tech which allowed for clearer/more legible vocals at the expense of being more expensive both in price and system usage, and the freeware and FOSS options have gotten Good Enough to eat away the low end customers. And Autotune/Melodyne have been normalized enough in society to become cheaply cloned. See also: MMD as a software package and its related face tracker that was used for the earliest 3D models for VTubers.

It's time gamers, post your: >FAVORITE F-ZERO GAME >FAVORITE MACHINE >FAVORITE PILOT >FAVORITE PILOT THEME >FAVORITE MUSIC >FAVORITE TRACK[S] >BEST LAP TIMES >BEST WINSTREAK IN FZ99 For me, my favorite pilot is Draq and I actually really love the Mighty Typhoon. I think it's one of the best-feeling ships in GX to drive, and has one of the best boost/speed stats as well. Draq himself is just a lovable giant alien dude who's a hardcore fan of F-Zero in-universe and he's living his dream of racing with his heroes. He even practices by playing the F-Zero games. I love this big ugly fucker. Across all the games, I think my favorite track to play on is Outer Space (GX), but my favorite location (and music) is White Land (SNES). Just the idea of racing through a snowy winter planet with a city in the background speaks to me because I've always enjoyed winter, and the city in the background of the SNES game reminds me of the downtown area of my home city during Canadian winter. The music of White Land is just such a fun and happy snowboard ride. I'm miffed we never got White Land in GX because I would've loved to see it. Off the top of my head my favorite pilot theme music is Super Arrow's. For a while I thought it sounded like it was sung by the lead singer of Gorillaz/Blur (Damon Albarn)? That vocalist sounds an awful lot like him.

>>1308003 You 'n' the cap'n make it happ'n

>>1244194 Would have been a lot better if they didn't just treat it as a tech demo. So many neat features in an undercooked game. >>1145839 Not amazing, but not bad either. I never tried the sequels though. Definitely more fun in co-op. >>1158486 I enjoyed blasting shit too much to try stealth. That and I liked the voice actor they had for Mattias. Next time I replay it, I'll have to try her out.

>>1302688 Not him but the camera makes it hard to take any good pics like that. Have something from my last playthrough though.

>>1146426 >>1145784 >>1145984 These games have nothing in common. They are just You vs an entire army type game. Infact I say pic related satisfies that requirement more than yours RIP Pandemic studios

Play Vikangz Conquest, niggers.

>>1234746 I still do with Bannerlord, I spent like 100 hours in a week on that. The late game in Warband was also ass, and that's to say nothing of the original 2008 release. The main issue is that the management aspect is too random for you to get any meaningful progress in painting the map outside blobbing all your units by wasting Renown.

I really liked being on horse and swinging the Executioner Axe. I am fucking terrible at tactics in these games, but there's a catharsis this game provides in turning a dozen of supposed proud warriors into feed for carrion that nothing else truly scratches.

>>999962 >whatever happened to Autistic Rage Festival? 8/mu/ was metaphorically choked out during the multiple year death march that was <2 to 4 factions of bot spammers <moar captcha layers <Infinity-Never <Sunshine canary <8kun rebrand <Christchurch shooting <The Webring™ The few regulars stuck to a coordination Discord, which also died quickly due to all of the above happenings obliterating the slow and steady vibes. It was just a board to roughly recreate the late 2000s-early 2010s era of 4/mu/, mixture of anons and the occasional tripfag. ARF was probably as close to successfully recreating The Dicklick Brigade in terms of consistently posting abject aural shitposts, amateur flailing, and the rare crystal of competency. IMO, later 4/mu/ projects switched erratically from undercooked WIPs with a meme sample or two, to annoyingly self-serious bullshit like The Meme Friends. I would post a link or an image, but one can just search the name up on RYM and get a result. Most chanboard music projects didn't really get much notability beyond The Death of Pablo.

>>1133591 >THQ AMA That was such a shitshow, and all because leftistfags sperged out harder than an autist with a weird-and-supposedly-provable idea speedballing meth, heroin and cocaine while showing everyone his schizo proofs.

And these two.

>>1125174 (OP) The module Aielund Saga was fun. It's basically "what if Final Fantasy kept to it's D&D roots".

>>1211230 Aielund drags on a bit too long for my taste, but I will give it point for letting me play as cute little brownie taking down giants with a sling and a stiletto dagger she uses as a broadsword.

>>1262612 There is overflow though, any extra armor/resistance shred/penetration counts as negative and further increases damage taken.

>>1262612 I know that the devouring orbs double triple dip if they are overlapping while orbiting you.

>trying to play 🔥fire🔥 sorcerer >almost 90% of the gear and idols I get are boosting ice and lightning damage >90% of mage uniques I get are either for spellblade and runemaster OR are trying to convert fire spells to either ice or lighnting Is this game trying to send me a message or is it just scanning my build and handing me shit that I don't want on purpose?

S4 League walked so Fortnite could run

>>1275438 Despite the art style, that game is genuinely fun as hell. I wish it didn't die so fast but I feel it would've lived longer as a Fortnite spin-off or side mode.

>>1275352 I mean I'd argue all that shit sucks and is just there for retarded kids who have adhd to not quit the game. Those side modes all kinda suck

>>1293265 It does seem to still be updated, however there are some FAQ bits (on Discord - I'm so fucking sick of Discords being the primary vector for accessing projects, especially fan/free ones. Toss it on github or another git service, offer a torrent etc. Discovery of a project is garbage when its in a Discord primarily. If it wasn't for someone updating that Steam Group with active invites etc.. it would be hard to find it at all! ) that show it has added new content. Unfortunately, it appears that >Chapters 9, 10, and 11 >Simon, Yoko, Fuma characters claim to be not included because apparently some previous dev working on them left, got DMCA'd or otherwise took it all with them. Is there any effort to remake what was lost? I'm glad its still updated and there's new custom content beyond the original game, but I'd think it would be imperative to see about trying to get the missing chapters and then characters back.?

>>1291319 Circle of the Moon also has a function where it shows when attempting to strike an enemy that drops a particular card, as well as an index of ability combinations. I've not played Dominus Collection yet as I'm working through Advance, but it really does seem to be the "definitive" way to play the games and they've added a fair bit of QoL features as bonuses like what we mentioned.

>>1303178 >Is there any effort to remake what was lost? The people left in the project have no idea how the project works; they are trying to reverse engineer it, but to no avail. It makes a lot more sense to just fresh-start the project in some other engine, or the same engine. Basically, yes, the people left are incredibly incompetent or at least they simply lack the experience or knowledge to know how to fix the damn thing. Which also means: >Toss it on github or another git service, offer a torrent etc Github is one of the most counterintuitive pieces of software I've seen in my whole life, and that's coming from someone using it daily for projects. So if they can't figure out how the game works, I very much doubt they may know how GitHub works.

>>1301592 I've gone home and I've gone home but I'm not gone home because I've gone home but have I gone home if I've gone home but maybe I've gone home because somehow I've gone home.

>>1301361 >>1295262 (OP) >gaming career Its called being an attention whore, people who say "yeah i played ocarina of time" to gain some sort of "gamer cred" online and show off to their discord buttbuddies. Its nothing new. They use video games just to talk about to other people, because they have nothing else interesting to talk about. Kinda like how normalfags watch the latest movies or shows just to get in with their social circle.

El Matador a surprisingly good, short 3rd person shooter.

>>1297091 Really? Besides the grey hairs he looks the same to me haha.

Here are some of my favorite reactions in the game. I am so happy I finished 428 and the Time Travelers 3DS fan-translation a couple months ago. These aren't spoilers of the game, just avoiding possible spoiling some funny scenes in general.

I don't know why they are using this site instead of kickstarter. But I hope it does well enough.

>>1264943 (OP) I want to be excited, but I recently quit osrs because Jagex is somehow getting even worse so I'm not about to get my hopes up. I probably had about 10 or 11 months of time logged across all my accounts too, sucks that the new investors are pushing the line. The screenshots look kind of cool I guess

I keep misreading the title as "Dragonwife"
