>>1038919 >Not sure if you're the same guy I already replied to but with a different ID I am >Really not sure where the contention is -- as I see it we already agree with each other. Because in many of the discussions I see, and why I believe that I have been floundering for the past several years (Have been "trying" to learn Nip since 2018), focus upon studying the material (Whether it be grinding kanji or the grammar buide) before being exposed to any degree of it. And as I experienced going through the grammar guide, the farthest I've managed is section 4.12 before burning out as I didn't see that as being an accomplishment when I can barely comprehend or even remember the differences between three directional particles or see that a word is a conjugated verb until I look it up in the dictionary. Sort of like Trenton was talking about in his videos, there's this idea (Even subconsciously) that you need to "learn" the material before you should even attempt to "comprehend" and "use" it. And, yes, you do need to learn "some" basic concepts like how a simple sentence is formed. However everything I've seen coming from Trenton, and Roy Miller, and even Tae Kim (Though his arguing was specifically for introducing Kanji early on) is that you should expose yourself to the "raw" content as soon and quickly as possible in your studies. I have not seen anyone else really say that, or even the added fact that you're not going to be understanding much of it until the moment that you do. So the takeaway I'm seeing is to learn basic grammar, then drop all of that for grinding vocab and be exposed to the content as much as possible. Yes, you can "study" the grammar further beyond just the basics, but is that really going to be a productive use if you're struggling with basic vocab and cannot even comprehend half of the words you hear in something like the attached vid?

>>1038934 >>1038599 This is not just limited to learning a (spoken) language. I've experienced this in coding as well. Some people know a lot of stuff, has read documentations in and out, even knows how to program stuff more than me. But when it comes to actually writing down code, they get autistic about little things, fumble about, constantly refactor things to make it "better", and all around aren't fit for working in the office. Having knowledge of stuff and actually putting in to work are two different things, and ultimately it matters how well you work, how easy its to work with you, how are you using that knowledge to get shit done. Having shit tons of "I know that" smug ego stroking doesn't help when you're just writing boilerplate code for a insignificant company. Or an oriental language for a cute xenophobic culture
>>1038051 >Immersion is key? it's not everything. seeing things in the wild in context, figuring out what situations an expression is used in, and recognizing patterns from experience is nice, but drilling greatly speeds up the acquisition process. for example practice sentences with a structure, like A代わりにB (A may be true, but on the flipside, B) >このカメラは安い代わりに、画質が悪い (while this camera is cheap, its it takes poor quality pictures) >このスマホは高機能な代わりに、値段が高い (this phone may have high specs, but it's quite expensive) >この町、暮らしやすい代わりに、遊ぶところがない (while this town is pleasant to live in, there are no places to have fun) of course, sounding natural is another goal, and I don't know of any ways to attain that other than just imitating natives (and don't just mimic media blindly) and your second biggest enemy will be figuring out how to say what you want to say (phrasing, words, expressions, etc.) and discerning the differences in usage between similar words (e.g. 適宜, 適切, 適した, 相応, ふさわしい) >>1038599 language learning is not a cumulative process where everything builds on what came before. people have their priorities, but there's no reason you have to learn "in order" >>1038934 for grammar the strategy is generally to look up stuff in reference material as you go

>>1038738 I think the sonic games are supposedly better in dreamcast. I would also assume that the HOTD games where better there as well. I think any arcade game was suppose to be better on the dreamcast though I am not sure if that is due to using the similar hardware or I am just thinking of the SNK console. IN a unrelated note are people still playing online using the dreamcast or they are just using emulator for multplayer play?

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.

Game of the Month #13 (One Year of Gaming Edition): Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden (PC) Anonymous 10/01/2024 (Tue) 13:52:35 Id: 40d745 No. 1021306 [Reply]
Happy Anniversary, Gamers! >What is this? This is exactly how it sounds: A game is chosen each month (which will be relatively or totally obscure on purpose) with hopes of bringing new avenues of playing potential to anons with narrow video game perspectives. The goal isn't necessarily to pick bad games, but obscure ones nobody, or as few people as possible, have played. You can play the game and then use that fact as bragging rights to others! You can use it to broaden your backlog horizons! or you can forget about it. It's up to you. THIS MONTH: Tales of Game's Studios Presents Chef Boyardee's Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa >Where do I get this? https://www.talesofgames.com/related_game/barkley-shut-up-jam-gaiden/ https://archive.org/details/Barkley_Shut_Up_and_Jam_Gaiden GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE GotMs: Poll for November 2024: November Fanservice Frenzy! https://poal.me/gu2u9q If you do not like any of the games in the poll, you can either add a new entry manually, or reply to the OP with a different suggestion. Don't come crying to me if you don't like the game, blame democracy. If you DO suggest a game though, please, report all relevant information on the game (magnet/dl link, interesting mods, guides, tutorials on tech, speedrun etc.).

>>1021306 Okay gamers, pardon me for the tardiness on the November GotM thread, I thought I'd be much freer by now but I still lack many of my personal belongins and it's been tough keeping up with the site. Now, the supposed winner of the poll is a game called Pseudoregalia (PC), however I have some reservations about making it the official one. On the one hand, it checks out with the fanservice bit, even if it's specifically for one kind of fetish, plus it does have the most votes. On the other hand, it's extremely fishy how it has amassed so many despite usually most games winning at the 10-12 votes thresholds. If you people don't mind, I'll still put it up as this month's game for the next 15 days. However, I'm open to hearing out any complaints and working out some sort of compromise. Plus I still have to find a cracked version of the title in question, so there's that. In the mean time, have next month's poll to mull over: December's Long Haul! https://poal.me/7yo83j This month we'll celebrate those titles that take absurdly long to beat, let alone 100%, or that take place over the span of an extremely long time, be it years, decades or even eras. Pick any game, as long as it meets the criteria, it can make it to next month's thread!

>>1038552 >Also adder is a better mech user than sami. It really depends on the map. Aside from the fact that they're usually in different tiers, regardless of game mode, Sami Mechs per se are worse than Adder's because the latter has access to his COP much more frequently than Sami, however you need to factor in the +1 movement on all transports that Sami gets with her D2D, which means they're even more mobile than Adder's.

I've been thinking about Vol 2 of the Master collection. There is no doubt Peace Walker is going to be apart of it, and MGS4 has to be the main draw of the package, otherwise they don't really have much to sell that people don't already have access to on modern platforms. But that's making me think Peace Walker is built entirely around Co-op so they will be supporting that, and that's making me think if they are working on PW's MP stuff then there is a chance they're also going to relaunch MGS4's Multiplayer, I'm not gonna hold my breath of course they didn't bother with MGS3's MP, still seems like there is a slim chance of it, but it's interesting to think about.

I was hoping to make it to the shareholders meeting before the old thread got bumped off but it looks like we'll miss it by a couple of weeks. >Latest News -Falcom's 2024 title is all but confirmed to be Kuro No Kiseki 3. We don't have a title or any details yet, though, and likely won't until the shareholder's meeting in December. -Ys X released on Playstation systems and Switch. As of now, no PC announcement has been made. CLE likely will make one going by their track record, but who's to say when. Durante and his team will eventually make one too, as the norm is now for them to release the Japanese PC version and patch in the localization later. Either way, we likely won't see fan translation efforts until a PC version materializes. Thankfully, the Switch version will at least mean easy access to the Japanese script, which was a major problem when trying to translate Kuro 2. Speaking of... -Kuro no Kiseki 2 has had it's main and sub scenarios translated. That is to say, main quest, side quests, events noted on the map and connect events. Most NPCs are still machine translated. This is following Kuro no Kiseki 1 which was completely translated down to the last NPC. This was all done before NISA even officially announced their Kuro localization. As long as they remain three years behind, this should stay the norm. >Fan-translations Kuro no Kiseki 1 Translation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nN-39bcBkES4Wg-3-rGlRqTARuQhGybB?usp=sharing Kuro no Kiseki 2 Translation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/120XMXZinIOWUvzyFZj4bZRYBSoZGMChO?usp=drive_link Hajimari no Kiseki Translation (NPCs incomplete.

Kai subs when?
(19.62 MB 1280x720 EmiliaKiss.webm)

>>1038091 I mean technically there are already mtl subs for several playthroughs. For live MTL they were surprisingly good. It obviously fucks up with things like names and pronouns as per usual, but if you know the context you can still understand like 95% of everything happening. As for the game itself you'll have to wait for CLE to release it's PC version. Hopefully they won't take too long and it won't be as big a fuckup as Ys X. Kuro and Kuro 2 ports were fine so hopefully since this is Trails again it won't be bad. Because of how far MTL has gotten people could probably turn around a serviceable translation pretty quickly. Nisa might be aiming to speed up though (big rumor is they're gonna try and get Kai in next fall bringing the turnaround on Trails to one year) so they'd have to get on it fast.

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

Nintendo has been going hard against emulation recently and is trying to set a precedent with its recent actions. So basically some youtuber faggot has been taunting Nintendo for some time, actively streaming pre-released games while making accounts on top of accounts. Now Nintendo is suing the guy for copyright infringement and is trying to get emulation as a whole taken down as a result of the suit. They argument they have is that emulating the consoles custom OS and ripping the tools from owned systems is illegal and is protected under the law. While everyone knows that's bullshit, Nintendo is still trying to set a precedent by having the courts making ripping your legal keys illegal, thus making any console emulation of any 8+ console illegal. While Nintendo has gone after emulators in the past, I don't think they've gone this hard in recent memory. Perhaps it's a result of the Switch successor being a rehash of the Switch but with more powerful hardware, and as a result emulators of the Switch can also run Switch 2 games. Honestly, at this point Nintendo should just release their old games on PC, since there's clearly a demand for their games on PC but Nintendo doesn't want to play ball, which is retarded because they could make a decent amount of money just by making ports with minimal effort, putting them on Steam, and making a shit ton of money as a result of Nintendrones rebuying their games. Releasing these old games on PC would probably stop emulation development in its tracks rather than having people in Russia combining emulation with spyware. Mind you, I'm not even talking about brand new Switch 2 games or whatever they want to put out in the future. I'm talking purely about games that are around three to five years old, that aren't growing significantly in sales and could easily be ported to the PC if desired. It's upsetting since Vanillaware pulled this same shit with Unicorn Overlord for some reason, although the fact that Vanillaware outright BLOCKED the game on PC is insane to me. At least with Nintendo they have dedicated hardware and shit they're trying to push. I think with Vanillaware they're actively a hindrance to themselves, although a few Japanese developers seem to be adverse to the PC market for some reason. In any case, if Nintendo gets their way expect the only way to play games like Xenoblade and Zelda is at a sub 10FPS limit with a shitty brick rather than having the games run at least bearable frame rates. It sucks because developers like Monolith Soft and Good Feel can put out some solid games that are exclusive to the Switch. That being said I doubt Bakeru did that well on Steam due to being released at a terrible time, and with very little fanfare. That being said, I really hope the Judge throws out the case for being a repeat of the Sony vs Bleem case, although with the DRM shit that Nintendo put into the consoles, who knows.

Damn what made that fag get so mad on redtext??
>>1038171 That was willy, he's a fag.
Youtuber faggot asked for it based on this greentext. >>1037806 Retard chases bear, kicks bear's snout, repeats for hours, bear eats him, people say bears will genocide all humankind. It's a pirate version of faggots singing "we're coming for your children." Too bold. I pirate games myself but come on.

Nintendo sues Palworld Anonymous 09/19/2024 (Thu) 02:18:23 Id: ce6dcc No. 1015942 [Reply] [Last]
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html https://archive.is/hlTK6 Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against Palworld. In this case, it's patent-based, not copyright. The specific patents aren't stated, but since Japanese patents expire after 20 years, it would seem to be for features that first appeared in or after Emerald. So it's not something as fundamental as "catching monsters in a ball".

>>1038145 It was limited compared to the mainline games but looking back on it they were pretty good and are a breath of fresh air compared to the games today. The Pokemon have actual animations and are scaled appropriately in battle, and the music isn't trash.
>>1038124 >Capture combat characters in a 3D environment using a capture item based on the operation of the direction input and then release the combat character in the direction of the operation input. That's an abridgement of the patent claims, not the patent claims. The patent claims are >>1038173. $75,000 to Nintendo, $75,000 going to The Pokemon Company, from Palworld's nine-figure war chest. Details left out of abridgements aren't left out in Japanese courts. Japanese courts deliberate the claims. If you cut and paste scenes from Star Wars to make and sell your movie, and the law comes after you, the abridgement "Star Wars, in short, is a space movie. My movie's also a space movie, and many movies are space movies. This lawsuit means death for space movies" might trick Mexicans online but won't work in Japanese court. The judge would think you lost your mind and you might be disbarred for incompetence.
>>1038218 Misquoted, meant >>1038206 then >>1038124. Doesn't matter though, meaning's plain.

>>1037885 >Why not Steam? <Steam itself is DRM that does not allow you to access, download, or even install your own games without using the Steam client This even extends to games you can install from a disc, as my copies of MW2 and Star Trek: DAC cannot even be installed without activating them through Steam. <Valves's bipolar attitude towards allowing anything deemed "offensive" to be sold on Steam "Cumming Hotel: A Gay Furry Slice of Life" is allowed to be sold on Steam but Steins;Gate is "too extreme" of a game for Valve to host on their store? <Valve itself increasingly hiring and being controlled by openly outspoken baizuo Just a reminder that Valve supported Harris: https://archive.is/LQDBI

>>1034481 >MW 5, for what I've played, which isn't much, to be fair, is fast, chaotic and twitchy combat against large hordes of enemies. Kinda but not really; it's a bit more arcade-y than previous entries but I wouldn't call it "fast, chaotic and twitchy". The basic gameplay loop of MW5 is adequate if a bit bare-bones; the problem lies in three main areas - first, the AI being utterly atrocious on every level and second, the fact that basically every mission in the game can be described as "go to point X on the procgen map and destroy generic objective Y and then evac to your ship at point Z when you're done. The third problem boils down to how bland and low-effort everything else about the game is. Seriously, while everything more-or-less works that's about all you can say about it. Customization? Yeah, you can customize your mechs a little bit. Markets? Yeah, you can buy and sell stuff. Sim elements? I guess there are some, technically. - et cetera. Once that new game smell wears off, you start to realize how much is missing or poorly handled and this is exacerbated by the fact that modders have massively improved basically everything about the game. There are mods to completely overhaul customization and add new weapons and equipment and mechs, mods to dramatically improve the AI, mods to rebalance combat and make it more lore-accurate, mods that add literally dozens of new map types, mods that overhaul the GRAFIX, etc. MechWarrior: Living Legends is a better MechWarrior game than MW5 (and I'll add Clans in there without even playing it) and MWLL is a fucking Crysis mod that's probably older than some of the posters ITT.

>>1034424 Thanks for writeup+links anon. >>1037800 (checked) I like the option for the cockpit view. I always prefer it except when doing anything melee related. >>1037903 Definitely suggest modding for MW5. If anyone has an essential list of mods, I'm curious if I was missing any good ones. >Living Legends That was a great mod. Is the community still clinging to life? Last time I played it was always one server with pretty much the same group of fags every time.
