https://gf2exilium.sunborngame.com/ So this just came out globally recently. Is anyone playing it? Any fans of the original mobage/kusoge? This one plays a lot like XCOM, kind of. The similarities end pretty quickly when compared to XCOM but it's the best one most people will be familiar with. The visual style is 3D anime, but in my opinion, tastefully done. Not a shill by the way

Does anyone here play shoot em ups? Let's have a shmup thread! space dad shmups and anime bullet hells alike are welcome. just go for the clear my nigga! >How can i play retro shmups on pc? With shmupmame. it's a fork of mame optimized to reduce input lag as much as possible alongside some other benefits like gadgets and replays. Here's a link to a preconfigured install with the some of the more popular shmups (mostly cave) https://archive.org/details/mature-dot-dodging-games-gaiden-v-1.0.7z of course you dont have to use shmupmame, you could use mame, fbneo, retroarch, or even support the official ports on steam/switch. What matters is actually playing the games! >What about touhou? Here's a collection of all the games with the english patch preinstalled. https://nyaa.si/view/1743411 What games in the genre are you favorite? What games are you trying to 1cc currently? I'm a total shitter trying to get my skills up, but I'm closing in on a Deathsmiles clear.

With the inclusion of Statler and Waldorf as the best parts of that shitshow, I found this twitter template and think it's a great opportunity for anons to make some great jokes at the expense of the show. Let's get creative, shall we? Posting the template first and then the examples (courtesy of @oreste_comics)

Post what you've got. I have more stuff on my computer but it's going to take some time find it all.

Making a new thread for the hit game taking the comiket doujin world by storm! The last thread >>793596 hit the bump limit, so I decided to make a new one as well considering we're close to the anniversary events >What is Blue Archive? A mobile game on iOS and Android, you play as a male teacher in a world where the only other humans are all female. Command your students as you take down enemies and learn about the world you've been thrust into. You're sure to find a favorite among the many students available to you. Also the soundtrack of the game is easily top tier. >Is this a gacha game? Yeah, it's a mobage, but F2P users are capable of winning as well on their own pace, and in the late-game, the gap between F2P and P2W is very small indeed - perhaps even nonexistent. Many of the students in this game are available for free (and useful on raids) without even rolling once in the gacha system (Over time you have a chance at unlocking students by beating the hard mode levels) >Are the girls cute? Yes For the loli fan out there, sate your thirsts on this game with the most lolis per capita out of every mobage out there. For the hagfan or oppailoli fan, this game can cater to your needs as well. >Isn't this game censored? Since China doesn't like nudity in any fashion, the game was split so that the chinks have their own censored version. The NA and JP versions are unaffected and the lolis untouched. >Can I play it on my PC? Yes, with the mobile phone to PC emulator LDPlayer or Bluestacks

With pic related, I think he could've been much better if he had been programmed to be a more cerebral boss fight where you have to flexibilize your strategies in order to beat him, possibly based on your class and those of your party members. Snipe your big guns, suppress your sniper, maybe some weird supertech that lets him cuck your biotics, and so on. If you rely on one playstyle for most of the game and get complacent he'll wreck your shit and force you out of your comfort zone. His tactics evolve across his multiple boss fights and you have to keep up and avoid stagnating or relying too much on one thing, as well as beat him to the punch. Personality is a more complicated subject. I think he could've benefited from being more no-nonsense, crib off some traits off Shepard to add to his status as an arch-enemy, either bringing his own party members with distinct personalities and skillsets to counter yours or leaning more on his one-man-army hype and make him a cold and detached warrior type. Maybe if you feel adventurous you could have him pick up traits that depends on how you played your Shepard's personality for added contrast. TL;DR: Make him someone you have to struggle to beat, and you WANT to beat to prove yourself superior. What about you? Any characters you could mention that had wasted potential but could've been good?

I haven't seen a thread discussing stylish action for a while, let's change that. Honestly I was kinda disappointed with Bayonetta 3, it wasn't nearly as good as the previous two games and I feel basically killed the series seeing as Kamiya left Platinum in order to work at Hamster probably. Still, it's kinda sad that Bayonetta was destined to die a mediocre death. That said as for Bayonetta's twin IP Astral Chain, apparently Nintendo completely owns the rights to that IP now, so hopefully we can see them develop the sequel in house since I would love to see how Nintendo tackles these kinds of games. Other than a few indie games, there's not really much going on with the genre. The Genokids demo was top notch and I highly recommend everyone here give it a chance, but other than that I'm waiting to hear about some surprise hits like Hi-Fi Rush since that was an extremely pleasant surprise and was actually did better than both Microsoft and Bethesda expected it to be. So hopefully we'll see a new Hi-Fi Rush in the future. Other than that, I'm sure Capcom is gonna remake DMC1 or DMC3 at some point in the near future, and like I said before Hi-Fi Rush did surprisingly well. So I strongly doubt the genre is dead, but that it usually takes a bit to get one of these games off the ground since Souls is the hot sauce these days. Still, what cuhrayzee games are you playing right now /v/? I'm going through Ninja Gaiden and God Hand myself, enjoying them as always.

Surprised no one here brought this game up, it's an interesting little indie game. It has honestly one of the worst main characters I've seen in a while, not like in a cringe way or a cartoonish way. But someone who'd exist in real life and pull this shit bad kinda way, Jimmy is a genuinely terrible human being.

So... if I've found Midna (imp form) unironically sexually attractive phisically, and I've also been attracted to her personality and even her voice since the mid 2000s, what am I? Not a furry, right? She doesn't count as that because she's not an animal, right? This would be closer to finding hot an alien. The thing is, all fuckin' furries must fuckin' hang so I wanna know whether or not I'm one. I hope I'm not. If I am I'll probably have to kill myself.

I am going to start with my 2 favourite homos. Takatoshi Hijiyama and Tsukasa Okino. I find their relationship really cute. How Hijiyama will spend a good chunk of his story wondering if he is gay while Okino teases him. Editing the OP because I fucked up the merge

Xbox will no longer have permanent console exclusives going forward, according to Jez Corden. https://x.com/JezCorden/status/1867407921199362372 >the era of Xbox having permanent console exclusives is over Jez Corden is a generally reliable source.

So I finished getting all the Achievements, in both games of the remaster, and thought I'd give a run-down of things, since currently the remaster has some good points, but is also a bit rough around the edges. When it comes to the Graphics, I'd describe SR1 as the kind of graphical update that is like putting on a par of glasses to see more clearly. The developers of this remaster were able to get the original images that were used for all of the textures, so all the textures in the game are the pretty much the same just in a higher resolution, although at some points it can feel like this added Clarity to everything can remove a some of the grit that the original visuals lend to the art style. There are new character models for every being in the games, and some of SR1's new models now actually have their lips move when they are speaking. SR1 also features a day and night cycle now, which was cut from it's original release. Both games now feature Subtitles, and you can change the Language of the voice acting if you want. When it comes to SR2 the Graphical improvements can feel a lot less noticeable, and there is actually a reason for this. Where with SR1 they were able to use the original assets to make smaller sized textures more clear, SR2 has it's textures stretched over much larger peaces of Geometry, so using those original assets just achieve the same result as they are stretched too far for the texture to look good. Outside the new character models, only smaller objects will have more noticeable improvements due to this. The new character models look good in SR2, but in some cases they can lose a little something during the cutscenes compared to the original models, as the cutscenes are designed with the original models in mind. In terms of gameplay content, the games are very much still the same as they ever were, I think the just streamlined the controls so SR1 and SR2 both use the same control scheme, and you are now a bit more in control of the camera in SR1. There is a Map now for SR1, and when hovering over areas it'll show a notification of the collectables you have or haven't acquired, so that can be useful. The most Significant addition to this remaster is the section for the Lost Levels, it features access to play and explore the cut levels from SR1, which they did need to remove quite a bit from. Now the main negatives of this Remaster is that in its current state it has it's fair share of bugs. I didn't encounter too many in my play time, but others have seen a lot. It's possible for a loading zone to not render the game world right and to just be standing in a black void, until you have the game re-load again. Some people have managed to have block puzzles messed up and be rendered impossible to solve, some have claimed the Night time lighting is way too dark for them, making the game unplayable until day, SR2 just has this Black Cube show up in the Air Forge when viewing the remastered Graphics.

What happened to it? I feel like working on it again, but i don't have the latest version. 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) >We also have a dedicated board now >>>/bizarre/ come post and check it out! (The exact way we use, and the general purpose of the board in relation to the threads on /v/ will probably change change over time. However there will always be threads maintained on /v/, regardless of what happens on the board.) Current version of the game: UNKNOWN! I HAVE 0.55 BUT I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S THE LATEST ONE. IF YOU HAVE A LATER VERSION AVAILABLE POST IT! RPG Maker VX ACE magnet: This one contains all the DLC 76UC6DG7

This thread isn't specifically about sadness, it can be a wide range of things. Wherever you felt surprise at how good or shit a game was, anger due to something that happened in game or external factors, excitement at an unexpected announcement or at an extremely cool set piece or moment, as long as the game elicited a strong emotion out of you while playing. You can go with something that you played recently or one of your favorite games. I'll give one of my favorites, Nier Automata. It's a basic choice, but it's the first time I remember a game being able to make me react to something strongly. I had already thoroughly enjoyed the game but by the time I had gotten to Ending E and the credits sequence the game really got to me. It was amazing, the way the music was synced to the scene and how hopeful it felt after seeing so many characters die shitty deaths just really hit hard. It's the second time a game has gotten me teary eyed. Looking forward to hearing what you anons have to say!

We have furries and they're all addicted to crack. Covering the basic news. >The Elder Scrolls VI is officially in early development, all eagerly await its 2065 release to play a TES game with even fewer RPG mechanics. >Daggerfall Unity is leaving Beta and considering a full 1.0 release, the in-dev 0.16 release being the earliest candidate. 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. There's too much to cover, I recommend watching their 2023 roadmap if interested https://yewtu.be/watch?v=H1q1nXLDjB8

Just an SMT General thread since the previous one's now gone and I wanted to post some news in regards to SMT V.
