Did anybody else try the demo? I liked the occasional Telltale game back in the day, so I was curious about Dispatch when it was announced. The premise of you being a 911 operator for superheroes is good, and I think the cast looked fun. The e-celeb voice cast seemed like a terrible idea though. After playing the demo I'm still on the fence. The actual gameplay of getting a call and sending the best character you have to deal with it seemed good enough. It was very shallow, but I think it can work for a story driven game like this if they do a good job of making your choices matter. The writing is peak millennial slop though. The old nigger said "fuck" about 50 times in the 30 minute demo. Quips galore. I still like the premise, but the writing might make me skip it.

>Just Cause Less iffy and more downright bad, many JC fans have never played or even seen the first game in the series, leading to the joke "Just Cause starts at 2". Buggy, empty, repetitive, janky, did I mention buggy? Because it is SO buggy, it's bugging out absolutely all the time at every moment, there is never a period where this game is not struggling to keep itself from collapsing; vehicles that don't work, physics that don't work, explosives that glitch more often than they function, NPCs that can't stop themselves from killing their own, a camera that frequently finds itself under the map. Realizing the enormous scale of the map will strike you with awe the first time you play it, and the gameplay will ensure there's no second time. >Arena While having some very cool elements and a fun spell creation system, TES1 is an odd and obviously slap dashed game that went through wild development swings. The dungeons are infamously a mess and it's so unbalanced towards magic that playing a non-spellcasting class is effectively challenge mode. It struggles from a lack of real content beyond procgen dungeon crawling, and while it is fun for a dungeon crawler from the era, there are better in the genre. The sequel improves upon it in every way. >Codename 47 Just not fun. If you've played C47 you know it's terrible, shocking it ever got a sequel let alone turning into one of gaming's premier stealth franchises. Beyond the very toybox-esque levels you'd expect for a game from 2000, everything about it feels unpleasant and it's frequently very difficult in a bad way, even the camera is in an awkward position. Most of the hits aren't well designed and some appear literally impossible to do stealthily. C47 also commits one of the worst sins of a stealth game: the AI is wildly inconsistent and hard to predict.

What's your favourite game in the Atelier series? Who is best girl? Where would you suggest newcomers start?

I don't understand the appeal of this game. Every clip I see of it is just people doing straight line races on the highway, pegging top gear. Am I missing something? It seems very well liked.

Here we discuss Tales of Series video games. Starting from Tales of Phantasia to Tales of Arise. Didnt feel it was /vg/ worthy since this series isnt popular enough. At least not anymore.

Seeing that we have an influx of new users, I thought it is a good idea to bring back this project. (I copied an old OP by one of the anons so I hope they don't mind) For those that don't know, here’s how it works. Everyone is taking turns downloading the newest version of the game, making contributions before reuploading it for someone else to work on it. Only one person can actively work on it at a time. This is because if two people make overlapping changes to the database, scripts or switches, they will conflict resulting in one person having to redo all their work. Changes to the map and events can be copy-pasted from one version of a project to another so you’re free to work on new maps and new events if its not your turn and add them to the current version of the game once it is your turn. It should work like this. OP posts newest version of the map. The first person (Anon #1) to respond to OP stating that he’s going to work on it becomes the active game dev. Once Anon #1 finishes and re-uploads it, the first person to respond to him gets to work on it. So on and so forth. Additionally, whenever you re-upload a new version, reply to the anchor post, it’ll make things a lot easier. General Rules >Don’t mess with maps, events or anything else you didn’t make. Although, adding minor stuff like a connection between two areas or fixing bugs and typos is all fine. >If you’re ok with others editing your stuff, leave a note saying so. >You’re free to add characters and the like, to the inter-dimensional tavern. >You’re also free to make changes to game settings, unless its something we’ve agreed upon (we’ll probably do this via a poll) Current version of the game: v. 0591 https://mega.nz/file/itd1mCTJ#pgEQ3oQQWOgDCO_VLZGs8m1p_OQABjTj8tZ4YNobvlo If you have a new version please notify us so that we can add it in the next OP.

This doesn't mean games that have a lot of dialogue or large dialogue trees, like New Vegas or Disco Elysium. We're talking games with the characters will not stop talking. Constant banter, verbose conversations, quippy dialogue, characters explaining and repeating what to do next; commenting on everything they see/think, puzzles being explained before you even grasp them, and so on. Suffering from NSTFU syndrome doesn't mean a game is necessarily even bad, but the writing is often be the worst part of them.

Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox division surprised many video game enthusiasts this week when the company announced a 50% price hike, to $30 a month, for the highest level tier in its Game Pass subscription service. The price hike and other changes to the Game Pass plans are a sign that Xbox’s big streaming push is still not generating the revenue it would like eight years after launch, according to interviews with seven current and former Xbox employees. The company is putting some of its top titles on the streaming service, but that’s cutting into sales of higher-margin games like Call of Duty, which came with Microsoft’s 2023 acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc., said the people, who asked to not be identified discussing internal company matters. Xbox gave up more than $300 million in sales of Call of Duty on console and PCs last year, according to one of the former employees, who asked not to be identified discussing internal estimates. “Game Pass hasn’t delivered the explosive growth Microsoft anticipated post-Activision, and they’ve realized their infrastructure costs don’t align with their pricing model,” said Joost Van Dreunen, founder of the video-game analytics firm Aldora. A spokesperson for Xbox declined to comment for this story. more here https://archive.ph/wBCZ1
