>>1973844 Multiplayer has never been particularly lively outside coliseums and before they opened fight clubs. It's really just the result of fundamental game design choices that are pretty significantly baked in and can't be changed.
I don't think I'm going to beat the DLC final boss. He's the only thing left, and I can't muster the motivation to boot the game up just to get pounded into the fucking dirt another dozen or so times. Pretty good DLC up until then, though. Some great fights and areas, lot of fun weapons. Does suffer from a lot of the same problems the base game does, but that's just how Elden Ring goes. >>1953840 Agreed on the fragments and lore. It was quite fun to go in totally blind and piece things together. Did Marika ascend to godhood the same way Miquella's trying to? Cutting off pieces of herself until she can use the divine gate? Or is this some janky, dangerous method he's using due to a lack of Greater Will assistance? And how did Miquella's actions in the base game lead to this?

Last thread was made by a troll, so I did the honors and will be merging the troll thread with this thread Thread dedicated to the discussion of games from the Fire Emblem franchise. The often asked question: "I'm new to the series. Where should I start?" for modern FE experience is Three Houses (Switch - 2019) or Engage (Switch - 2023), and for semi old school FE experience is Awakening (3DS - 2012) or Fates (3DS - 2015) or Echoes (3DS - 2017).

Unionization in video games. Anonymous 05/20/2025 (Tue) 22:30:15 Id: c8387e No. 1384151 [Reply] [Last]
There was recently some discussion on the unionification in the video games industry in the Marathon thread, and while I believe the approach to how video games are published and translated need to be changed, I also think that the powers at be are making an attempt at a power grab. I actually made an article on the subject here [https://medium.com/@markmann447_91903/unionization-isnt-the-answer-a-call-for-free-markets-in-gaming-489abf30abe7], although I had to delete the discussion in the Marathon thread since it wasn't related to neither Marathon nor Bungie, I do find the subject to be rather interesting as someone who DOES want change, but also believes that Unionization is a communist tactic to destroy competitive American industry, but also has legitimate benefits depending on the type of industry where there really isn't an incentive for growth like trades and such. I also find that those pushing for unions in the video games industry are the worst types of industry shills like Jason Schreier, in addition to Harvey Weinstein defenders SAG. They've also made unironic propaganda as a way to push the idea of unionization onto the gaming industry as seen in my embedded images. Either way, I'm quite concerned who would be running said unions since Hollywood has become a cesspit during its run with unions and how there isn't a lot of talent in Hollywood because of unions and how they block freelancers. Still, I wanted to move discussion here since I feel there IS a discussion to be had.

>>1384151 >>1384151 Really quick, I just wanna bump this thread with the recent Rockstar Union mafia shit, basically the unions are trying to pressure Take Two into rehiring the leakers with signs like "Black Lives Matter" the fucking balls of these thugs. https://archive.ph/wip/9W6XJ
>>1386337 This is stupid. If a game is a financial success, the boons of that success tied to royalties would far outweigh getting a shitty bonus
There are two historic reasons for unions: 1) Firm management are being comic-book villain levels of evil by making the work unsafe (government regulations has fixed this) or keeping the field chronically underpaid (replacement migration has enabled this, but unions won't fix it). 2) Negotiating increases to the pay scale commensurate with the inflation rate so the value of the job's labor stays somewhat uniform. That's it. Anything else is grift and corruption. When videogames became a really big and bloated industry, the undertalented faggot nerds who grew up wanting to be involved in its development need to create mechanisms so they can't be shitcanned easily. That, to me, is corruption. Wanting moderation jannies, voice actors, and fucking QA testers that do the work of monkey to be categorized as developers is more of the same. Create more pork positions these niggerfaggots can secure for themselves and their friends.

Hytale returns from the dead Anonymous 11/21/2025 (Fri) 19:58:45 Id: b6c7bc No. 1954319 [Reply]
Enters Early Access soon. A lot has happened over the last few days and I have no idea where to start. Simon Collins-Laflamme bought back the rights from Riot, rumoured for $25,000,000, and put the game back into development. Currently Hypixel has 50 staff back. The new engine was scrapped, it's gone back to the original engine they showcased. The new engine made because Riot wanted to go multi-platform, but Hypixel have decided to go back to being PC exclusive for now. A lot of the problems were caused by Riot. Enter Access release is soon, Collins-Laflamme says he wants to get it into the hands of players as quickly as possible, even if it means putting out the unfinished game. They're attempting to "Break the Curse", as they put it. It's priced at 20 dollars' base, but they have higher tiers for people who want to support it more. People don't tend to read the entire OP if it's too long so I'll continue this further.

I'm the original editor and creator of the template if you remember who that is. I think the last one I did was in 2019. It's been over a year since your vidanon editor fell off the earth, yet you're still bringing up the Squilliam compilation during awards and expos. It's sad. So although I swore off doing any more of these I'll edit together another one.

LoveR Kiss Endless Memories Anonymous 11/20/2025 (Thu) 20:21:40 Id: d34a09 No. 1951447 [Reply]
After some trials and tribulations, this game will release in a week. It is an updated rerelease of a game already released on PS4 and Switch several years ago, now with English text, and essentially one of the last holdouts of bishoujo ecchi-style games in retail. The game is a combination visual novel dating sim/photography simulator. Briefly broken down by a user on GameFAQs. > What is LoveR Kiss? >It's a visual novel-style dress up romance simulation with an extra visual component - there is a heavy emphasis on picture-taking. > What do you actually do in this game? >Most of the game is reading or listening to dialogue. You very rarely choose from several dialogue options. When in conversation, you will play a game using Gems to select a topic and try to build various love and conversation meters, or start a photo session, without accidentally ending the conversation. You will buy disposable items, pay for dates and shop for costumes and accessories. The rest of the game is taking pictures of high school girls, either in free time or with time or position restrictions. > Pictures of high school girls? Like, erotic ones?! >Actually, yes. The game has two categories of pictures - cute and excite - and a theme of the game is how closely glamour photography is tied to eroticism. >The game is razor-acutely aware of when you have taken a beautiful photo and when you have taken a sexy one.

>>1974959 They were pretty quick to release a patch for the crashing issues as well as others. On top of that, they're apparently planning to support this game into 2026 with content updates. Dragami seems serious about propping up this niche otaku game that can't even be on Steam. I kinda expected them to just push it out to die after the Steam ban. It makes me a bit more hopeful for the future. I'd get a port of the Reco Love games too if they do it.

>>1984353 >I can take two boys at once
>Turn based combat without real time mechanics in any game is fucking garbage I don't think anyone genuinely believes this, otherwise I would see people demanding real time elements in poker, chess, etc. But it's strangely common for retards to play a turn based strategy game involving cute anime girls, dislike the combat, and then extrapolate wildly until they reach hilariously retarded conclusions. Somehow they become unable to comprehend the possibility of relying on intelligence rather than dexterity, or that the abstraction of combat in the game doesn't need to be a direct recreation of reality (I don't see these people complaining that chess piece movements are too unrealistic). It's a very strange phenomenon. >>1981479 >RNG inherently makes a game less skillful. RNG generally makes games more complex. If every action has a certain outcome it essentially becomes a puzzle where you are searching for a single route to the end. But if there are multiple possible outcomes for an action you now have to weigh the probability of each outcome against the favorability of those outcomes and continue doing so for every subsequent possible gamestate. The decision tree becomes much more dense. It takes a lot of effort and 'skill' to sift through all the countless possibilities and determine the optimal moves, whereas if you were to remove the RNG or to allow the player full control over the RNG the game would be greatly simplified. Also consider the impact of RNG on enemy behavior. This also applies to other genres like action games and shmups. If there's no RNG involved then the player only needs to memorize a single sequence of movements to win every time, but if the boss has some randomness in how he moves and fires his bullets then you actually need to git gud to win consistently.

Maybe just have a new studio make a whole new kind of DK game? There is a lot of things you can do with DK and his extended family.

>>1986900 >it ends in 2007/2008. Yeah the financial crisis and on top of that, the popularization of the internet at the same exact time forced a huge cultural shift from which we're still somewhat stuck in. While things were already getting pretty sanitized by the early 2000s, the late 2000s and the 2010s was nothing but baby shit for retards, which was also a consequence of the Chinese and Indian markets being opened up due to better living conditions and outsourcing. I think the transition will only happen after most boomers die out, we're already seeing a pretty big cultural shift. All of this to say that I miss grungy stuff and media and those are very rare nowadays in anything with half a decent budget.
