>Ninja Gaiden 4 >Doom 6 Neat, I guess. >>1064370 The Oblivion remake has been rumored for years. It's probably true considering the basic rumor hasn't changed in all that time, but it looks like this wasn't the showcase for it.
>>1064454 The game is built around you literally having to be aware of fucking everything and preform at peak capacity while being under an onslaught of 500 ninja dicks. When it clicks, it's amazing, but there's a lot of ball-busting in between the clicking. NG2 was also the first game I threw a controller at also. >>1064387 Tecmo has to prove it to us, they can't just dangle nice sounding shit in front of us and expect us to be hyped about it. Don't forget Ninja Gaiden 3, DOA6, or Wo Long.

>>1069771 Not having undo, layers, the ability to color under lines, etc, would murder me. Thanks for trying to help, but I'm aware of what I'm doing. Anyway here's one more. >>1018234
>>1069849 Do as you please then!!! I only say pick up the pen because it will teach you about intuiting lines and shit way more than the abstraction of the mouse, in my honest opinion, especially when you're working in the physical medium. I'd say the higher stakes of redrawing images or hitting the eraser will give you far more "XP" than control+Z'ing mistakes, but it's all up to your goals. Pretty decent bodies on your draws though.
Every valentines day I like to try and draw characters being turned to chocolate. A few years ago I made a thread on /h/where I asked for people to give my suggestions on what characters, and I wanted to do something like that again. I'll only take a couple though.

Loli games Anonymous 03/09/2024 (Sat) 06:58:14 Id: 123632 No. 944197 [Reply] [Last]
With the demo confirming Dragon's Dogma 2 is shit, even beyond lack of loli MC, let's talk about games that do let you play as a loli. Any recommendations for games not on this chart? With mods Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord lets you play as a loli using base game assets. It's a pretty fun experience. During Early Access they actually had nipples and a barbie doll lower half, but this was changed near the final version. Since the same update made everyone's underwear part of their body, it's likely due to consoles than specifically anti-loli. Anyone know if there's a mod to restore these bodies? I haven't played in a year and I'm hoping for a new land mod to release in a playable state before giving another go with my new GPU. Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim and Fallout 4 all let you play as a loli with mods (3 also makes you play as a loli during a brief tutorial section). Unfortunately most clothing/armor doesn't really fit your character (at best she'll grow boobs) and only Fallout 4 has a mostly complete set of alternate models for clothing (I think there was also a mod for Skyrim to dynamically resize things but I have no idea what it was). Otherwise it works pretty well and is pretty fun. Only reason to play Fallout 4. The demo for the new Alone in the Dark is a short prologue starring a little girl in a dress. Has anyone ripped the model/used cheat engine freecam/etc. to see if she's properly modeled or if the devs took the cowardly way out?

>>1063902 So is loli an age thing or an aesthetic thing for you?
>>1063904 Aesthetic. Lalafells do not look like lolis.
>>1063904 For me it's body, Loli should be "Small young girls". Age is irrelevant since there's 2 year olds that are gigantic and 13 year olds that are tall with giant tits so that leaves body. Lalas are small, they're short and they're flat so they count as loli to me. Some people seem to have a grudge towards the child/lala model found in games but I like it myself, I think it's cute.

Video games as art Anonymous 01/10/2025 (Fri) 09:17:44 Id: 75b412 No. 1059497 [Reply] [Last]
It's been 12 years since Roger Ebert said video games can never be art. Was Ebert wrong? Where, below, did Ebert go wrong? What is art? Can video games be art? What video games are art? >Having once made the statement above, I have declined all opportunities to enlarge upon it or defend it. That seemed to be a fool’s errand, especially given the volume of messages I receive urging me to play this game or that and recant the error of my ways. Nevertheless, I remain convinced that in principle, video games cannot be art. Perhaps it is foolish of me to say “never,” because never, as Rick Wakeman informs us, is a long, long time. Let me just say that no video gamer now living will survive long enough to experience the medium as an art form. >What stirs me to return to the subject? I was urged by a reader, Mark Johns, to consider a video of a TED talk given at USC by Kellee Santiago, a designer and producer of video games. I did so. I warmed to Santiago immediately. She is bright, confident, persuasive. But she is mistaken. >I propose to take an unfair advantage. She spoke extemporaneously. I have the luxury of responding after consideration. If you want to follow along, I urge you to watch her talk, which is embedded below. It’s only 15 minutes long, and she makes the time pass quickly. >She begins by saying video games “already ARE art.” Yet she concedes that I was correct when I wrote, “No one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great poets, filmmakers, novelists and poets.” To which I could have added painters, composers, and so on, but my point is clear. >Then she shows a slide of a prehistoric cave painting, calling it “kind of chicken scratches on walls,” and contrasts it with Michelangelo’s ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Her point is that while video games may be closer to the chicken scratch end of the spectrum, I am foolish to assume they will not evolve. >She then says speech began as a form of warning, and writing as a form of bookkeeping, but they evolved into storytelling and song. Actually, speech probably evolved into a form of storytelling and song long before writing was developed. And cave paintings were a form of storytelling, perhaps of religion, and certainly of the creation of beauty from those chicken-scratches Werner Herzog is even now filming in 3-D. >Herzog believes, in fact, that the paintings on the wall of the Cave of Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc in Southern France should only be looked at in the context of the shadows cast on those dark walls by the fires built behind the artists, which suggests the cave paintings, their materials of charcoal and ochre and all that went into them were the fruition of a long gestation, not the beginning of something–and that the artists were enormously gifted. They were great artists at that time, geniuses with nothing to build on, and were not in the process of becoming Michelangelo or anyone else. Any gifted artist will tell you how much he admires the “line” of those prehistoric drawers in the dark, and with what economy and wit they evoked the animals they lived among. >Santiago concedes that chess, football, baseball and even mah jong cannot be art, however elegant their rules. I agree. But of course that depends on the definition of art. She says the most articulate definition of art she’s found is the one in Wikipedia: “Art is the process of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions.” This is an intriguing definition, although as a chess player I might argue that my game fits the definition. >Plato, via Aristotle, believed art should be defined as the imitation of nature. Seneca and Cicero essentially agreed. Wikipedia believes “Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more concerned with the expression of ideas…Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction.” >But we could play all day with definitions, and find exceptions to every one. For example, I tend to think of art as usually the creation of one artist. Yet a cathedral is the work of many, and is it not art? One could think of it as countless individual works of art unified by a common purpose. Is not a tribal dance an artwork, yet the collaboration of a community? Yes, but it reflects the work of individual choreographers. Everybody didn’t start dancing all at once.

>>1063617 But that's not really an argument. >"why do you desperately want it to be called art?" to the critics themselves. And he gives the answer "because you want validation from others". Why does a guy want his fecal smears on canvas to be called art? Is it for any reason other than cash or validation? Isn't the notion of validating something an intrinsic aspect of calling something art? What reason is there to care if anything is considered art otherwise? >active media Is jazz art?
Art is an expression of creativity. Vidya gaems are an expression of creativity. Therefore, vidya gaems are art. /thread. Now let me ask you a question: Why do you care?
Artists all deserve the rope, whether they rope themselves or get someone else to do it. Artists have degenerative brain disorders that make it physically impossible for them to to form a coherent thought that isn't up its own ass upon conception. This mental dysfunction such stress on the artist's mind that the only way to cope with the surrounding world is to degenerate everything around them to fall into these deranged philosophies. They often see things that are "childish" or not expressly in service to "art" and become incensed; the first thought an artist will have upon seeing someone enjoying those "non-art" aspects of something is to first make it clear that "this thing can NEVER be taken seriously as long as people appreciate these things" as though the statue of David or Mozart's 5th symphony are any less beautiful because they are enjoyed on a level beyond awe for the joy of creation; most people do not create in a way that is perceptible, and thus is the self-induced delusion of the artist. An artist observes the world as black and white, the black being those who consume, and white, those who create. In reality, a lot of people do create, or have some creative thoughts, but don't tap into them in day to day lives. It is the ignorant artist who goes out of his way to inform the world that they are, instead, solely responsible for holding creativity and culture on their back, as though they themselves have become as god. Artists are tyrants in this way, enforcing strict standards, oppressing those who call their creations for what they are, and seek to refuse those who do not create in the express way they do from outlining any standard of critique against them. The artist has never gummed their hands with dirt or grime, and thus do not understand the workers of the world that they create on the backs of, and so it lends to their absurd world view that the only true path is creation, and all others are falsehoods. They believe they are above any system, they believe there is no price or coin that could be exchanged for their intellect, and there is no greater struggle than that of an artist. They simultaneously believe in a fantasy that all others can live their dreams, but for the artist their dream is shunned and oppressed by society, and there is no profit to be made; if they truly cared about art for the love of it then they would die before their works alone in the world. In the eyes of an artist, everyone else is simply imagining themselves as highly as they possibly can, and back to the artist's pompous attitude, the artists undoubtedly believes that the clerk whom the artist shuffles supplies beneath their nose is simply not capable of thoughts big enough to imagine a higher goal. This absurd world the artist spins for themselves becomes a dystopia for themselves, since everyone else is able to freely live their dreams, but the artist, who dreams of creation for creation's sake, is met with the harsh reality that simple creation is no a unique talent, or worse yet, they believe their creation is underappreciated by the weak and meek masses who simply do not have the brains to understand creation. The deny their own reality, supplanting a falsehood that consumes them until they die. For this reason, I think the artist deserves it. The artist has worked tirelessly to die, and that should be readily provided to them. If they wish to live in a world ruled by only their thoughts, they may be ruled by those thoughts in a long and endless sleep run from a red river down their arms. They wish to be a tyrant; little king, you may stamp your feet as a ghost all you like, and think yourself the king of cosmos. God, and all, they wish to be, and so they may become a god of a far away place hereafter. I say all this, and it is with great hatred and evil in my very soul, that I think artistry for its own sake is nonsense in the same way that creating a cup when you have nothing to drink is foolhardy. I reject the notion that anything should be labeled as art, because it does nothing to define the work, and even less than genre titles. It's as compelling to call two things art as it is to simply inform someone that Billy Ray Cyrus and Robert Plant are both singers; are we to assume that all these things are created equally? Is something that is made badly suddenly not considered art? Is something that is created well to be considered art, or is it only middle-tiered works that do not inspire at all? Who decides what is good or bad? Is objective reasoning the only observation that may be made for art's quality, or are there personal, subjective aspects that make the quality differ from person to person? Art itself is as outdated a term, and describes such a vague concept that if you were to ask someone off the street what art is, their answer would certainly be something similar to, "something that makes you feel a certain way," and will become confused if you ask them if a particularly brutal shit you took is considered art. Fuck art, fuck artists, and this discussion is not video games.

>>1060920 consider how many sales were during the $5 era, then it jumped to what, $10? $20? Now it's like $30? I know people were buying up a ton of gift and alt accounts just because of how god damn cheap it used to be. Now a lot of those accounts are just dead because of the stupid migration bullshit, where unless you had the original receipt and/or email used to acquire the account you effectively had no recourse, microsoft just held a knife to your head and said "we're not FORCING you, but if you can't deliver what we want we are taking the game away" and even if you COULD deliver a 15 year old receipt/email to migrate, and went through the arduous process of setting up a microsoft account just to play autism bricks, you could get your brand new account suspended the NEXT DAY, in which you are forced to identify yourself with a phone number "for security" to access your account again, which is fat load of horse shit because there is no prompt to set up 2fa in the first place when creating the account just to lure the player into a false sense of security. First you de-anonymize the players, tie all of their games together under on umbrella, one account, one terms of service, then you take away their games for violating the vague and arbitrary rules, it's free money in microsofts pocket because it's money they don't have to waste supporting those players and in-house servers, and if the player wants to play again well they have to get a new identity and buy it all over again, microsoft rubs their hands like flies on shit

Musou General: Dynasty Warriors Origins Special Anonymous 01/17/2025 (Fri) 10:31:15 Id: 45cc8c No. 1061969 [Reply] >>1063778
Haven't seen much discussion or hype for this one, and that's probably warranted seeing what I've played of it thus far. One hero, seven weapons, skill trees, wandering around an overworld map, side quests, collecting crafting materials, etc. I'm new to the genre and the series, except for the excellent Hyrule Warriors (the first one, not the shitheap that was Age of Calamity), and while I do find it fun all I can see is shit that would piss off genre and series purists. As a fairly distant outsider though, I admit I'm having fun, though not heaping gobs of it. The overworld map reminds me of Heroes of Might and Magic in a way. DWO definitely could be better, but the main point is I'm absolutely lost with these fucking names. They all sound the same to me with few exceptions. I know of Lu Bu from the memes, and Cao Cao stands out because the name is pronounced Tsow Tsow which, OK, I'm familar with Welsh so I'll give that a pass, but fuck me everyone else is named Gaun Yu or Yu Guan or Lie Bu or Lei Schwang or some fucking thing. I'm lost as fuck. The music is good though, it's the kind of upbeat energetic Jrock that usually accompanies these titles and other nip action games. Kind of reminds me of Ys 8's OST a bit, heavy on the guitar and drums. The voice acting though, well, the lines are said and they're fairly clear but I guess it's hard to have passion for such stilted dialogue. I suppose it's a direct translation of the rather rigid Mandarin so I'd prefer that to some "punched up" localiser bullshit, so I'll give it a pass on that account. Overall, I'd call the "modernising" of Dynasty Warriors a success, since I'm having fun and I'm not thrown into the middle of an existing franchise in which I'd be even more lost than I already am with these yellow turban fuckers in the Puyang province. I know there's some significance to the Puyang province, wasn't the communist party born there? Or Winnie the Pooh himself? Fuck man, this is my first taste of bugman history and I'm lost. But still, the game is fun for a complete newcomer, though whether that leads to greater sales...I don't know, I don't think so. Purists will likely be driven away and I didn't even know this game was a thing until I asked my local game store if anything had come out recently and I was bored so I picked it up (yeah I "bought" it but their generous return policy means I keep jack shit and get my money back on four out of five games). According to the Playstation tracker thing I'm 16% of the way through the game and I've played probably two hours, so I'll likely be finished with the main campaign by the end of the weekend. Any genre fans interested in this game and want to weigh in? I'm curious how you'd feel about it.

>>1062984 Yes. If you manage MP well (so either spend an hour farming trash mobs with wizard/dancer/etc or use a cheat program to give you a full restore) you should be basically doing dungeons in 1-2 days. That usually leaves you 2-3 days per period of time to wrap shit up. But during the final stretch of the game you get a month basically to do that. And as it turns out a month is more than enough time to level a bunch of 3-6 bonds to max, do all dungeons, and get virtues to full. You might, like me, have a solid two weeks of nothing to do. Just don't waste time on virtues unless you're chasing a bond level and you'll be fine.
They really had no idea what to do with this game did they?
>>1062930 The thing is that even back in the day, the SMT devs would work on all sorts of spin-offs, like Majin Tensei and later Devil Survivor, the Raidou games or Maken X, a first person hack and slash, which the director of Metahor(Katsura Hashino) was also the director of, so it's not impossible for SMT devs to make non-SMT games. Maybe the director of the game, Katsura Hashino after working for over a decade on Persona 3,4 and 5 wanted something different that was closer to the older games he worked on like Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga, but his staff was composed of both SMT fags and Persona fags, and couldn't get the right balance. Of course this is 100% speculation on my part, I would have to find interviews, correctly translated in English, then do the same stuff for other key members of the team, which there is no guarantee they were that open with the public with what they did or how the work culture was like, to have a concrete answer.

Do names matter? Do they really contribute to success or failure of a product?

>>1062089 >why have no Japanese companies ever attempted their own ridiculous fun anime grand theft auto type game? Shenmue, Yakuza, and Way of the Samurai come to mind. >Side tangent but also why hasn't bandai or some other company that owns all of these crazy space anime ever made a space-style Grand theft Auto or Mass effect type game where you go around in a spaceship (or giant transforming robot) and collect a harem of alien girls and do mercenary and bounty hunting work like something out of outlaw star or cowboy bebop? Spectrobes? It could also be because the Japanese tend to prefer less open-ended narratives compared to people in the West. Need look no further than how the only "originator" of the RPG genre that has remained intact and thriving in it's transition over to Japan was the Wizardry series, meanwhile Ultima and M&M fell by the wayside over there. And how while the West focussed more open building upon the CRPG aspect of exploring a large open world where you can do "anything", the Japanese were more focussed upon dungeon crawlers and linear character-driven narratives (To the point that even "open-world" games are still linear in their progression). In addition, it's likely that you'll never get that kind of game because people are tired of sandboxes and open worlds. They take up too much of the player's time, and developers almost never take advantage of the game's design nor structure a coherent narrative around it.
>>1062089 Japanese pop culture doesn't glorify crime much compared to America's and open world stuff isn't as popular there. The closest you'll ever get is probably Yakuza/Shenmue.
>>1061954 >>1061954 A company like Microsoft is too big, that means nepotism and getting away with a ton awful decisions and which in turn means hiring awful managers that thrive in such environment and end up producing yhe biggest turds while getting golden parachutes for them. The whole pipeline is fucked and there's not much to do about it besides watching them fail and laugh. Xbox only thrived when it was mostly isolated as a division of Microsoft, created by a bunch of counter culture guys, once most of the original crew left, it was done. Just another part of corporate.

NIHON FALCOM THREAD: Forward Relentlessly Edition Anonymous 11/18/2023 (Sat) 02:48:20 Id: 3d9289 No. 908347 [Reply] [Last]
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.

When do I get to play Dinosaur Resurrection?
CLE Kai PC port out next week. From what I hear the JP script got lifted from a leak a while back. This is good news. One of the biggest hurdles for the Kuro 2 translation was not having a copy of the JP script available (since Japanese MTL is infinitely better than Chinese and Korean) so all being well a translation should happen reasonably quickly.

DONKEY KONG Anonymous 01/16/2025 (Thu) 20:38:12 Id: f555e3 No. 1061714 [Reply]
D K DONKEY KONG Which is the best Donkey kong game and why is it tropical freeze? More importantly, how come Nintendo hasn't made any DK games lately? I have pretty much given up hope of a 3d collectathon like 64 but having Retro hammer out another 2d platformer can't be too much of a hassle. Maybe just have a new studio make a whole new kind of DK game? There is a lot of things you can do with DK and his extended family.

>>1060772 >but if the soundtrack is better I really don't like the new direction of the ost. I'll post some songs from the OG and the remake so you can see the difference. I'm not a music fag, so I don't know how to properly say what I feel, but my general feeling is that these song (a part of fucking erasing the identity of the original music) are overcharged, Rogueport: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HkeLW6bgak
