Since the sequel is about to hit the shelves, I have decided to try the game for the very first time. Any advice for a newcomer? I heard the game is "hardcore" especially with the limited save system it apparently has. How good is it to play, if I can only play 30-60 minutes at a time(I am sadly a bit busy). Considering that it's very likely that this thread will still exist as the game comes, I guess it can also be used for the sequel as well, so for those who have played the first game: Out of the things that have been confirmed so far, what things are you most existed to see in the sequel? Is there anything you wish that they could add, if not in the sequel, then maybe in a DLC? Would you like to see other areas on Europe with this type of gameplay as well, and if so what areas and what century? If your potato PC is unable to run the game, would you consider upgrading your PC, to play this game, provided it has stellar reviews from people you trust? Hopefully these questions will be enough to generate a positive atmosphere as I am sure a lot of you anons are hyped for the sequel, as I remember the first game was received warmly back when it first came out. I might post my progress through the game from time to time, ITT.

Fae & fay Anonymous 08/04/2024 (Sun) 19:38:24 Id: abf5d1 No. 997567 [Reply] [Last]
Videogames either all about fairy tales or just have a lot of fairy tale creatures such as satyrs, changelings, trolls and faeries. I have been in a weird mood all day thinking about the fae. but reading about the dreaming changeling isn't quenching my thirst for fay. I want more. Now I know of a few games that has fairies. Quite a few of them. Legend of zelda has multiple different types. Dragons crown has a tinkerbell look alike following you all around. I think one of the other vanillaware games has you playing a fairy as well. Was it odin sphere or grim grimoire? Unicorn overlord does have elves with their fairy companions but I barely noticed the fairies during my playthrough. Fairies were a pretty big part of FFXIVs shadowbringer expansion but I am really burned out on that game. Total warhammer does have a lot of fey creatures spread throughout the beastmen and the wood elves. Preferably I would want something like a role playing game set in a feywild type world. I am willing to try other things though. I know there is one fairy RPG on XBLA but I only played the demo for it years ago and I don't think its even available anymore.

Having now played Zanzarah I kinda like it. Kinda because it is very unique and I like the world they made. The gameplay on the other hand is very repetitive and not terribly exciting. I think I was just expecting something faster since the game was described as being like quake.
Hey guys, I was rooting around in my folders when I found this. I have no idea where or who I got it from but apparently it is from 2015. Wouldn't have had to make the thread if I had remembered I just had a list of this.

If you haven't had the chance, get Artificial Dream in Arcadia on steam since it's really good and the dev is making free DLC that lets people make their own dungeons.

>>1069071 >>1069017 I have forgotten to mention, that only 6 makes it extremely difficult to deathbomb, which may rescue you many times. Another tip is to use bombs if you have them, since they get replenished with each life you lose. You will waste them regardless by dying, which is worse. Later games give you enough reaction time to deathbomb. But 6 is the most pure, so it is the best to start from, unless you want PC98 autism.

Is it possible to play a game "incorrectly"? Anonymous 01/28/2025 (Tue) 14:42:02 Id: 28d7db No. 1065908 [Reply]
Finally decided to pull out Skate It and actually play through it since I'm one of those people who still play Wii games. For those who don't know, this was one of the "mid-size" entries from the seventh gen, where the publisher made a side-game to whatever they were releasing on the 360/PS3 in order to cash in on some of that Wii money printing. Dead Space: Extraction and RE Chronicles (And Modern Warfare 2 on the DS) were similar such games. So for Skate It, it's an "inbetween-quel" for Skate 1 and 2, and one of the big gimmicks for the game is that it makes use of the Wii balance board. Now I've been playing the game for the past week, and I cannot get used to the balance board controls at all as their either seem "too" sensistive or not sensitive "enough" (Despite whatever I set in the options). However today, I finally decided to try the Nunchuk configuration and was effortlessly able to play the game with little issue. Effortless to the point that the game almost feels "too easy". So this is where my question is coming from. Is are there some games designed around a certain play style or even control scheme where, if you play the game any other way, you essentially "break" the game and can no longer have any fun?

The acquisition is a further step in Paradox’s strategic focus on growing in the management games genre, by building a strong internal capability that complements the Group’s current studio organization. >“We are very happy to welcome Haemimont Games to Paradox!” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox. “They bring a tight-knit team with long experience in developing management games with many well received projects in their portfolio. Moreover, they have a strong creative streak, technology developed for their niche, a new IP in development and a strong culture that fits Paradox’s way of working. We have strong faith in their team and leadership, and our main focus now is to ensure that they can continue to create great games under new ownership.” >Following the acquisition, Haemimont Games will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Paradox. The current leadership and team will remain active with the studio, and the studio’s ongoing projects will remain in development. >“We're delighted to become a part of the Paradox family!” said Gabriel Dobrev, Founder of Haemimont Games. “The cultural fit between our companies is remarkable, and we already feel at home. This partnership empowers us to push the boundaries of our games, delivering deeper and more intense experiences to our players.

Hi-Rez is experience mass lay offs Anonymous 02/07/2025 (Fri) 19:21:31 Id: 9f6b35 No. 1069094 [Reply]
Smite and Realm Royale developer Hi-Rez Studios seems to have conducted layoffs this week. Nearly 30 employees (at time of writing) revealed they were impacted on social media. A reason for the layoffs has currently not been disclosed. According to Gaming World's Jake Lucky, these cuts are "massive" and seem to primarily impact the Smite team, which is developing the sequel Smite 2. Hi-Rez previously laid off workers October 2024, targeting the cosmetic and system features teams across its various subsidiaries. This new round looks to be more widespread: producers, designers, programmers, and esports commentators are among those affected. With last year's cuts, CEO Stewart Chisam explained the studio eliminated staff to ensure Smite 2's long-term success. Chisam's X account has been deleted since then, and at time of writing, a statement on today's layoffs has not been published to LinkedIn or other channels. Hi-Rez also is ending development for the first Smite, Paladins, and Rogue Company. Smite 2 is the focus of Hi-Rez's "newly streamlined operations," though developers on that title are also said to have been laid off. The public message further explained the three older games will remain playable for the forseeable future, even as "no further major updates are currently planned." Hayzer, a Smite contract creator, also claims the layoffs have impacted 50-60 developers. At time of writing, Hi-Rez has not responded to our request for comment.

Seems like they're taking the sharp opposite approach of what screwed them over when Paladins and Smite were new and bigger. Ripping devs off other games and downsizing to save costs while putting all of their eggs in the "Smite 2" basket rather than hire on a few more devs to split into a lot of teams to make a metric assload of live service IPs and hope one gets massive success. Something tells me it's too drastic a move done way too late, though. RIP Paladins, you were the only hero shooter I could get the tiniest bit of enjoyment from. At least you'll live on in the porn.

I don't like their garbage games which always followed a live service model, even Ascend due to all it's limitations. But they're one of the few American devs that still added T&A to their games despite all the ideological craziness going on.

>An increasing number of videogames are sold as goods, but designed to be completely unplayable for everyone as soon as support ends. The legality of this practice is untested worldwide, and many governments do not have clear laws regarding these actions. It is our goal to have authorities examine this behavior and hopefully end it, as it is an assault on both consumer rights and preservation of media. This campaign originally started from some youtuber who hated the fact that The Crew, an Ubishit racing game, would close their online services and making the game he purchased basically unplayable. Even if it would technically be possible to run the game offline, it's unfortunately prevented by DRM and other jewish nonsense plaguing modern gaming today. He is making a rallying campaign, asking for the 12 million people who effectively got scammed after buying The Crew to make their voice heard and complain about this, so that governments can take action and hopefully set a precedent to destroy GAAS as we know it in an effort to preserve videogames. Any step taken towards making publishers and greedy kike game companies release offline versions of multiplayer-only games is a win. Any effort contributing to popularizing the now lost practice of giving server tools to gamers for them to make their own community servers is a good thing in my eyes. If you care about vidya, it's in your best interest to spread awareness of this campaign and do as much as you possibly can, even if you don't like the EU. Sign petitions, screech about it, etc. They've shown that they can seriously cripple anti-consumer practices, as seen with Apple.

As the lead department for video games, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) regularly engages industry representatives and monitors how consumers interact with games. We work with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) as the lead department for consumer protection more generally. <We are aware of issues relating to the life-span of digital content, including video games, and we appreciate the concerns of players of some games that have been discontinued. We have no plans to amend existing consumer law on digital obsolescence, but we will monitor this issue and consider the relevant work of the Competition and Market Authority (CMA) on consumer rights and consumer detriment. <Video games sellers must comply with existing consumer law – this includes the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA) and Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs). We have provided details of relevant protections below. However, there is no requirement in UK law for software companies to support older versions of their products. Decision-making is for those companies, taking account of commercial and regulatory factors and complying with existing consumer law. There may be occasions where companies make decisions based on the high running costs of maintaining older servers for games with declining user bases. <The CRA gives consumers important rights when they make a contract with a trader for the supply of digital content, requiring it to be of satisfactory quality, fit for a particular purpose and as described by the seller. It may be difficult and expensive for businesses to maintain support for old software, particularly if it needs to interact with new technologies. However, if software is offered for sale that is not supported by the provider, then this should be made clear, for example on product webpages and physical packaging. <If digital content does not meet these quality rights, the consumer is entitled to a repair or replacement or, if not possible, some money back up to 100% of the cost of the digital content. These rights apply to intangible digital content like a PC game, as well as tangible content like a physical copy of a game. The CRA has a limit of up to six years after a breach of contract during which a consumer can take legal action. <A trader or third party can upgrade and improve the features of digital content so long as it continues to match any description given by the trader and conforms with any pre-contract information provided by the trader, unless varied by express agreement. <In addition, the CRA requires that the terms and conditions applied by a trader to a product they sell must not be unfair and must be prominent and transparent. If not, they may also be challenged and the question of fairness is a matter for the courts. Terms found to be unfair are not binding on the consumer. <The CPRs require information to consumers to be clear and correct and prohibit commercial practices which through false information or misleading omissions cause the average consumer to make a different choice. As such, the regulations prohibit commercial practices which omit or hide information which the average consumer needs to make an informed choice, and prohibits traders from providing material information in an unclear, unintelligible, ambiguous or untimely manner. If consumers are led to believe that a game will remain playable indefinitely for certain systems, despite the end of physical support, the CPRs may require that the game remains technically feasible (for example, available offline) to play under those circumstances. <The CPRs are enforced by Trading Standards and the CMA. If consumers believe that there has been a breach of these regulations, they should report it to the Citizens Advice helpline (or Advice Direct Scotland for those living in Scotland) which is a free service advising on rights and how to take their case forward. The helplines will refer complaints to Trading Standards and CMA where appropriate. Consumers can also pursue private redress through the courts where a trader has provided misleading information on a product. <The CPRs section of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Act 2024 is expected to come into effect in April 2025. It restates and updates the CPRs into primary legislation, revokes the 2008 regulations and sets out rules around unfair trading. The Act:

Usually these kinds of threads begin with the mandatory "back in my day" type of post, but I really wanted to know something about the anons who were too young to be there when web-based games were the undisputed kings: have you ever played any of these games, and if so, what's your stance on them compared to your other gaming experiences? Also, don't forget to check out the Flashpoint Project at https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ and the very large collection of games they have.

So this is pretty rare for a bump, but the developer of these flash games, Richard Myles/Squize, in question has recently passed away because he took the jab and got genocided by globohomo Most of his Flash games use features like Stage3D which aren't 100% supported by Ruffle yet so I am only posting two swfs to play for now, in memoriam.
>>1014820 I remember when people were defending the death of Flash, saying <Muh HTML5 can make games and then nobody made any games with it. I even asked a Flash game dev if he'd be willing to convert one of his games to HTML5 and he never got around to it, despite saying he would and that it'd be easy.

Apparently Starbreeze is really desperate after Payday 3 cratered at launch (thanks to Unreal Engine) so they released a quick browser game for brownie points. It's actually somewhat interesting as an inverse Hotline Miami where you play a helpless victim trying to avoid Jacket stalking you, but given modern web technologies it of course falls under Wirth's law in requiring a ridiculous amount of resources from your computer to run a 2D game. Ruffle cannot come back into style fast enough. https://www.paydaythegame.com/static/hero/

Do you like playing Dragon Quest, anon? Are you looking forward to Dragon Quest XII or the new Monster spinoff? Which girl is the best girl? Which monster is the best monster?

Has the Steam version been cracked yet?
>>1046336 Checked and DQ III HD-2D Remake still has not been cracked as of yet. Not that there's any real demand though, considering all the censorship and the fact that a fan patch to remove all of that now embarrassingly outdated ESG compliance bullcrap had to be necessitated.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has surpassed its internal sales expectations, Square Enix has revealed in its financial presentation. >Operating income up mainly due to stronger sales of “DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake” than initial assumptions

After years of avoiding indie games like the plague because of how cancerous the community surrounding them is, I've finally decided to give them a try. I really love the 16 and 32 bit eras of games but I've played virtually all of the ones from that period that I would be interested in to death and the only people who seem to still be making games like that are indies. But there are so many out there and I'm certain 99% of them are bad so I need your help. What are the best indie games reminiscent of old 16 and 32 bit games? I'm up for pretty much any genre, 2D or 3D, except horror and roguelikes. They don't have to look exactly like games from back then but I'd prefer something that doesn't push gay/tranny/furry/feminist pozz; at least, not explicitly. I've already tried Undertale and I didn't like it. Also, general indie games thread.

I tried Castaway, a game I saw at some show case last year. It looked like a fun Zelda clone. I don't think I've ever been so floored by a game, it was 28-minutes long. It's being sold for ten dollars. Despite being less than half an hour, it still copypastes content! Every boss is the same, all the enemies are variants of spiders, the dungeons are the same layout. I get the sense something went very, very wrong during development. This is like a prototype, or a jamgame project. There is no way the team felt it was a shippable product.

The Video Game Industry is imploding Anonymous 02/29/2024 (Thu) 18:35:05 Id: 0c7012 No. 940732 [Reply] [Last]
I wanted to make a thread for this since it seems every day there's either a massive amount of industry layoffs or some publisher splitting off. Most recently Toys for Bob and Saber Interactive have split from their previous holders with rumors of Gearbox being sold off or going private after splitting off from Embracer like Saber just did. Additionally 505 have just shut down a bunch of offices in Spain, Germany, and France. Since just last holiday there have been over 15,000+ layoffs in the video games industry with a lot of companies restructuring like Embracer and Sony after deals with the Saudi's and the Chinese have basically gone sour. This is in addition to games like Spider-Man 2 (2023) costing over 300 million dollars and with the constant failures of live service games, it makes sense why the industry is experiencing a soft crash as it were. It remains to be seen what will come of the video games industry and what will rise from the ashes. I'm expecting to see more smaller publishers pop up while the current publishers will focus on making smaller games with tighter budgets. That being said no one really knows where the industry will go from here. sources: https://archive.ph/YI6OK https://archive.is/ZzK5C https://archive.ph/3z9RF

>>1068857 Western Triple Gay, anon. Nintendo is fine. Other Japanese devs are fine too. Double A and below and indies will be fine too.
>>1066434 >Not only did they add female soccer but they also added a gamemode with mixed males and females and it got mocked hard. Didn't it even go as far as to give completely random female players (like not even regarded as particularly exceptional among female players) stats above male players regarded as the top players in that area? I remember a huge normalfag uproar about it. Had they added females only for Create a Player (which some of the older EA arcade sports offers had) one year, with a pair of token fictional pre-made teams, let players use female CaP anywhere and just say "create a player is a fantasy mode", I don't think they would have gotten any real backlash. Would certainly have cost a lot less to make. >I guess they wanted to pander to the "patriots" and journos pushing USA female soccer because they were winning for like 3 months, lol. I remember a publication (outside of the vulture media) at that time observing with some amusement/fascination something to the effect of "US national soccer teams do amazingly well for how little the nation cares about the sport. It must be particularly crushing to live in a country that puts way more effort into sport and see your team lose to the Americans".
