Short games Anonymous 01/16/2025 (Thu) 07:45:59 Id: 552d4c No. 1061387 [Reply]
What are fairly short games under 3 hours worth experiencing and what impression did they leave on you? Some people are busy, I can't experience 50 hour JRPGs anymore. Indies welcome, retros welcome. Anything short AND good.
6 posts and 3 images omitted.
The only "3-hour" game that gave me a good enough impression was Hylics 1, which should last 3-4 hours. Though I recommend Hylics 2 much more, though it's a 8-hour ride minimum. Otherwise there is also Zortch, it's a short FPS game (4-5 hours) that does the job well.
>>1061387 A few more recent ones I played were Path of Achra and Superliminal. PoA is a turn based roguelike game that is about making pretty crazy character builds. Some get pretty hilariously broken at times. Superliminal is a perspective puzzle based game that gave me Stanley Parable mixed with Portal vibes. >>1061421 This is a good point.

Asscreed Shadows delayed AGAIN Anonymous 01/09/2025 (Thu) 19:25:58 Id: 8de81b No. 1059141 [Reply] [Last]
This just in, Assassin's Creed: Shadows has been delayed another two months from January 9th to March 20th. This comes directly after the report from "People Make Games" who I'm not going to link to since they're massive faggots, where one of their support studios "Brandoville" is charged with abusing Indonesia developers to make assets for the upcoming game. Not to mention the outright fuckery going on with Sweet Baby Inc and general disrespect towards Japanese culture, and you have a game that's set to crash and burn when it releases this March. This is on top of the Guillemot brothers desperately trying to retain control of the company and is trying to go private as the Tencent buyout has currently haulted according to Insider-Gaming. This is ON TOP of the failures of Star Wars, Avatar, Skull and Bones, and XDefiant with some of their failing projects far exceeding 100 million. Finally Ubisoft is likely to go private in 2025 with people within Ubisoft themselves believing that nothing will actually change if an acquisition would take place. Ubisoft is FUCKED https://archive.ph/wip/ZhFH8 https://archive.ph/wip/luh03

Post about games that you just FINISHED Anonymous 03/01/2023 (Wed) 04:03:05 Id: 4f157e No. 790791 [Reply] [Last]
I seem to be getting the strange feeling more and more that the Anons who keep posting about the games they're "playing" never actually finish those games. As in they just drop the game after a certain point and lose interest in it for whatever reason (Even if it's a great game). So, to remedy that, let's have this thread, where Anons boast about crossing off another title on the backlog. And, to guilt all the other Anons into doing the same.

>>1055736 Why would you play with trash when you could play GOOD games?
>>1055736 >Characters incessantly repeat themselves in a carousel of repetition, like you're too addled to have heard them the first time. Because people addled enough to play with trash like Dragon Age: The Veilguard ARE too addled to have heard them the first time.
>>790791 I finished the two Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games. The second game ends up with the setup for a third but it never happened because Black Isle was shut down (the inspiration for my "Vidya Necromancy" thread). The first game was rough around the edges. The entire third act didn't have a proper hub where you could replenish supplies and even recall to a place of safety until well into it. I played as the Elven sorceress because she had nice tits, and her spells and fragility made me play differently from my usual unga bunga melee builds. I had fun, even if it was unpolished in places, but some of the bosses were just damage rushes while spamming potions. The second game was much better, a real 9/10. The only thing it needed were, again, boss fights that weren't shit, especially in the latter half of the game. There are more characters to play as in the sequel (including a human cleric with even bigger tits than the elf) and I played as her for my first (and probably only) playthrough. If I do play through it again I might play as the drow, who has smaller tits, because despite being a nigger she is a monk who specialises in hand to hand unarmed combat, and I find that interesting. You spend the majority of the second game traveling in and out of Baldur's Gate, unlike the first game where it's only the first act of three. It makes for a nice consistent hub and allows for the side characters to be more fleshed out. There are side areas in the second game too, allowing for more exploration and sense of adventure, where the first game was just a linear set of dungeons with little deviation from the narrative line. All in all I'd rate the first game a five or six out of ten, and the second game an eight or nine. Three stars and four stars respectively out of five I guess. Back to playing KOTOR2 and enjoying another great developer who had the unfortunate fate of surviving until modern times and becoming a flesh-wearing shambler of its former self. RIP Black Isle and I wish you were put out of your misery Obsidian.

Most of the tumblr disco elysium liberal love is love excess everything is good audience don't even know the difference between VN and RPG. They play shit like Life is Strange because its marketed as an "interactive experience" rather than a shitty VN. Same with disco elysium which is a half baked rpg with dialogue crammed in to replace gameplay, to make you feel smart instead of having actual substance.

Not games where you play as a necromancer, but reviving dead or dying studios. Which studio would you restore to life to get their potential unlocked? For me it would have to be Black Isle. This would give us proper sequels to Baldur's Gate 2, Fallout 2, and Dark Alliance 2, as well as everything they could have done with the Aurora engine after that.

Vehicle simbiosis games Anonymous 01/12/2025 (Sun) 14:57:54 Id: b0d4ab No. 1060279 [Reply]
I'm looking for games were you have a simbiotic relationship with a vehicle as a gaming mechanic. So not simply a lore point, both in-vehicle and the on-foot parts of the game are dictated and done by the player, not something like Front Mission Evolved where you getting out of the mecha was a cutscene and you had no agency over it nor driver 2 where getting out of the car had no use aside from some small easter eggs. I'm talking about games where both are seamless and done at the player discretion and both are interesting, expected and important to the gameplay. I know these 6 games and i love each one of them (okay, maybe not RESQ, but it still has it's place in my heart) and i also played most of the Blaster Master series too. Is there any other game like that? exploration heavy games would be even better. Things like Subnautica and Outer Wilds might apply, but they are very combat averse, so i dunno if they should.

We have furries and they're all addicted to crack.

This would mark the completion of its 9-year development and the first major TES engine port to be finished. The project will enter a stage of "post-release support" likely involving bug fixes and further modding improvements. >Skyblivion posted a new status report, showing major progress.

Worst video game titles Anonymous 01/01/2025 (Wed) 00:06:43 Id: 09dc29 No. 1056183 [Reply] [Last]
We often hear about the worst video games of all time, but what about the worst video game titles of all time? Starting off with two of the most obvious ones >Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days That's pronounced "three hundred fifty eight over two". Yes, they want you to pronounce it "over" but didn't bother writing it as an over. It only "works" in Japanese because furigana can tell you its pronounced that way, but its dumb even there. >Infinite Undiscovery Either an "undiscovery" is "lost", which would mean total amnesia (even walking, potentially even breathing), or an "undiscovery" is "not a discovery", which means the name is saying everything within is nothing new. (dis)honorable mention >Idea no Hi This one tries to make a English pun that does not actually work. The official name in "Day of the Idea" and 1: While "idea" in standard romanization, "イデア" isn't pronounced anything like the English "Idea" (as in thought) 2: "イデア" is a person, so the definite article here is just Engrish.

>>1061056 Yeah but the titles are also more directly related to the actual content of the game, that being a co-op focused multiplayer game. Any kid would just figure the title is referring to that, because it is.

Freedom Wars Remastered released today. Is anyone playing this shit?
6 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>1060646 >>1060678 The funny thing about the "pay to win" aspect of the game is that it was incredibly broken and easy to cheat because of the multiplayer. One time, I accidentally queued in on a group who were playing one of the end-game missions, and a result of the experienced was my earning dozens of hard-to-find resources and currency that made the rest of my early to mid playthrough of a game a breeze. In fact, I had dozens of resources just sitting in the inventory do nothing because I had yet to unlock any way to use them yet.
>>1060267 I don't remember hearing anything about Bamco being involved in the Vita release.
Bandai Namco as a company itself didn't, but the guys at the Freedom Wars dev team were already employees from Bamco. >Director - Takashi Tsukamoto (worked on Sword Art Online & Dragon Ball game adaptations as well as God Eater) who became producer for the remaster >Executive Manager - Yuichi Sugiyama >Art Director - Kei Watanabe >Programmers - Yoichi Yui and Kazuhiko Kirinashi And so on. Only Junichi Yoshizawa, the OG producer, was an executive of Sony Computer Entertainment. Japan Studio was essentially a middleman between Playstation and third-parties, which is why its closure was nothing short of a disaster in terms of maintaining relationships and collaborating on game projects.
