Are there any good ones out there? Everything that I tried that was not a Hellshard was clunky, slow, and what you might call "not a game" (just perform the same action over and over for identical combat encounters, indefinitely). Also a place for reminiscing about the good times in GONDO (rip GONDO). Poast here if we haven't talked in a while. Hellmoo forks 8ch has played in the past: InfernoMOO: inferno.optiquest.org:7777 The good fork of HellMOO. GONDO moved here after Helle got too gay and carebear. All the fun and glory of no-holds-barred HellPVP with some additions - new muts, new weapons, mutation points system instead of slots, keep your journal XP on reroll. Sadly dead most of the time, but it has had occasional revivals. SamsaraMOO: moo.samsara-moo.com:7999 Hell but with even more carebear. Mostly socializing and PvE, but it's also where all the Helle refugees went when that closed. Good pop at all hours of the day. PissMOO: ipiss.rocks:7155 Remember that really weird fork where you could be a robot and have four arms and it was busted as shit? It still exists, just even more dead than Inferno. Wayfar 1444: website at https://wayfar1444.com/ Not something we've played together and not even a hellfork, but built on Hellcore. Total sci-fi conversion, very cool, closed in 2016 but apparently it's coming back? Does anyone know anything about this?

DARKITY DARK DARKNESS Some thread questions >Favorite entry? >Favorite Heartless? >Favorite Keyblade? >Favorite character? >Favorite world? We're now in one of the longest gaps between mainline KH games. If KH4 comes out next year, they'll tie the the seven-year gap between Dream Drop Distance to Kingdom Hearts III. I miss major games being a regular occurrence, we've been almost exclusively getting flash and mobileshit for a decade plus now and it does not help the last major entry was a huge disappointment. On that note, is there any way to even play KHX and its spinoffs anymore? I have no idea if there's a preserved version archivists host, or if they were worth playing to begin with. They had really cute art.

Let's have a good old fashioned Professor Layton puzzle thread. You should be able to solve this.

>2025 EDITION Hello again everyone and Happy New Year! This thread is dedicated to the most prolific and wholesome videogame pairing ever, Zelda and Link! Discussion about the Zelda series itself and other Zelda girls is completely welcome here, as are other Zelda pairings and stuff. Share your cute Zelda art, Zelda doujins, and other Zelda things!

Keep it civil.

This really needs its own thread because of how right STUPID this shit is. This is like banning RPGs on the Sega Saturn levels of stupid, all because of retarded twitter/reddit/discord politics. These people can't see outside their little Californian bubble, and it pisses me the fuck off. The console game market is run by people who hate games, that's the only excuse I can think of when explaining this malicious ignorance. It's been proven time and time again that these games sell as long as there's a good gameplay structure. Even with an above average gameplay structure, Stellar Blade selling over a million copies in the past year alone PROVES that now is the best time to release Senran Kagura IN SPITE of gaming journalists and the reddit/twitter/discord grooming audience. Not only that, but the entire mobile market with games like Blue Archive and NIKKE is making millions of dollars in capital. You could make the market that "Oh it's just whales", but I would argue that's not a legitimate excuse when Stellar Blade sells over a million copies and other games like fucking Capes don't even sell close to that. That's not to mention Flintlock that has its numbers inflated by Gamepass only sold half the amount of Stellar Blade with a much bigger marketing campaign. There's no excuse for this level of stupidity, but what can we do about it? Maybe we can contact shareholders and have them communicate our issues through them? There's no excuse for this level of incompetence, although I'd personally argue that it's maliciousness considering everything I've talked about. sauce: https://noisypixel.net/xseed-games-ken-berry-interview/ https://archive.ph/N2zJb

Edit: It was announced. More details on April 2nd https://youtu.be/itpcsQQvgAQ?si=cOMpOEsP1qTLkzO- Basically everybody who's anybody in the game leaking scene says today Nintendo plans to shadowdrop a Switch 2 reveal, the 16th has been a consistent date thrown around for a little while now. No games, no software, just a console reveal. This is following huge Switch 2 leaks, up to and including actual photos of the console. It's not anything interesting, it looks like a bigger Switch with the words "Nintendo Switch 2" on the back. This is a heavily cropped photo of an actual unit somebody has, they've posted better ones since but I don't want to go digging for them.

Didn't have this kind of thread for a long while so its time to make another one. Talk about which fitness games to play, what kind of diet works and what doesn't. Do you use any games as warmup for gym? Post game progress, advice, exercises and how to sail through your 20s, 30s being vfit. Your body will thank you in the coming years

One of the most common complaints that I have had for the past several years is "all" of the games that are coming out now seem to have insane computer spec requirements. Most of this I know has to do with them running on Unreal 5 or Unity, but I'm wondering if there's any games that "break" the mold and actually have decent spec requirements for what you see on screen. Now, to actually answer the pressing question of what would be considered "low spec" for this thread, here's the basics: >Quad-core CPU at 3.4 GHz >4 GB of RAM >GPU that's DX11 compatible and 3 GB of VRAM >20 GB of storage That's it, those are the only requirements that the games have to pass. What are the options available?

Aka be glad (((Tel Aviv))) only knows how to make Raid: Shadow Legends edition. Given how many anons here play these titles and request an area to discuss them beyond Blue Archive >>1034800, given how many JP devs have fled to mobile as some of their more senile contemporaries chase the dead ESG gold rush, given how the bishoujo market is concentrated in mobage, and given how many players have actually banded together and organized to repel and BTFO globohomo as of late, I think a mini >>>/vmg/ is warranted. As OP I however get to christen it a "ghetto" until somebody else takes over the succeeding OPs. Do note that all discussion related to the technological and industry dynamic shifts these live services (yes they are live services) propose as well as topics directly pertaining to their cross-platform nature (i.e talking about how Aether Gazer is available on both PC and mobile or the number of gacha games on Steam) should be directed to this thread instead >>986877 If you want to discuss, say, how Lies of P and Brown Dust 2 were both developed by Neowiz, or how neato Versus and Relink are as part of Cygames' Granblue Fantasy IP, do it over there. You can talk about Action Taimanin's 4th anniversary, you can't talk about how well it runs on PC here. Non-gacha MMOs should also be directed to the existing MMO thread >>897003 Post memes, post updates to your chosen main gacha, post liveblogs of your playthroughs, post artdumps, post collabs, post obscure JP and about-to-EOS gachas, post about how the fuck match-three RPGs are still on the market, post about Senran Kagura New Link and Dead or Alive: Penis Vacation, complain about drama and monetization and mixed toilet games and girls trying to push their otome bishie gachas, just make your contributions high effort and high quality and try to max out 8chan's 5-file 50MB upload limit. You are allowed to be horny about certain characters, but your posts about them must be substantive (no >>>/vb/ template posting, for example). <geez, are you smug's owner No, I care about digital hygiene and board nettiquette. NEWS AT A GLANCE Going to try to hash out a format since this is very new for 8/v/. >GFL2, the successor to many anons' favorite gacha circa 2017, is set to come to Global this fall with a closed beta test and prereg being held. (Read: they need that gweilo piggu money.) Luckily, they are cranking up that fanservice, of which I won't post yet because this OP needs to cover multiple titles. >Unluckily, the CN state censor department has randomly struck a bunch of gachas with notices to sharpie over their character designs, the most notable of which was Snowbreak, enrager of BPD harpies everywhere, and Path to Nowhere. For the time being, Snowbreak has elected to use the localization toggle as a way to technically comply with said censor wave while still giving its playerbase what it wants; its future is still uncertain though as the devs continue to give Winnie the Pooh the finger. It seems like more and more that CN devs need to move off West Taiwan's mainland if they are to realize their creative and financial ambitions. >In general, the global economic downturn has meant that the gacha market has slowly been contracting on mobile. PC, however, seems to be booming as devs find that players are willing to open their wallets without having to pay Apple and Gulag the provider tax. >Arknights and Nikke are holding their 5.5 and 2nd anniversaries respectively, with both of them making big stinks about how they have new anime projects in the pipeline, never mind how all people remember from Blue Archive airing is Iori's toes getting sucked. >Azur Promilia has started receiving age ratings in Taiwan. >Mihomo has rebranded its Harvest Moon knockoff project from Asteweave Heaven to Petit Planet. >Uma Musume is gearing up for a global release. When? Not clear. This is for umaanon though. >Infinity Nikki is making waves as a big open world gacha that Soyny is banking on to get some crumbs after chasing off every Asian third party in existence.

THE JOKE IS FROG VORE But seriously, it's that time of year again to dumpster dive and wade through indieshit for some gems. Whether it be Peripeteia being jerked off for being "muh /agdg/" before selling out to the Discuck demographic, or anime girl fanservice being empirically proven to be a stalwart principle of Austrian economics, Next Fest is that magic time(s) of year where /v/ gets together to marginally not play games less than they ever have before! >it starts Monday you fag And there's never a better tradition to start than binging early! The press already have access anyways. https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest_feb2025_press https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&category1=10&supportedlang=english&ndl=1 seriously, given how many doujin titles are showing up in this Next Fest it was a lot of fun assembling this OP with /v/-relevant trailers I still need to make a Valve general given how much effort Valve is actually putting forward with future developments but the time never pops up

Continuing from the old one >>516987 Here's what i spent working ALL DAY.

So I got a sudden urge to play Runescape (2007scape, it should go without saying) again after however many years. Didn't have anything spectacular in mind, mostly just wanted to fuck about in Lumbridge, murder a few chickens, chop a few trees, basically just live out the experience of being a noob again for shits and giggles. Now, back in the day, all you needed in order to start playing was to go to the website, open the game, click "new account", come up with a username and a password, and you were good to go. Upon trying to set up an account, this was my experience: >Game is no longer browser based, you have to download a client to even run it >Click to make new account >Game opens up my web browser >Have to enter account info there, can no longer do so in the game window >Click to make new account >Get redirected like, 4 times >Have to fill out captcha not once, but twice >Have to give an e-mail address, game no longer accepts usernames >Don't feel like giving my actual e-mail address >Make throwaway Gmail account >Enter it in >Webpage decides I've put in "too many requests" and blocks me from finishing the process >Attempt to finish signing up on my phone browser
