Squilliam compilation thread – The End of E3gelion Anonymous 06/10/2024 (Mon) 03:39:45 Id: ed8325 No. 978559 [Reply] [Last]
> -1085 days until E3 Since it's summertime and E3 is officially dead and buried, I'm making one final Squilliam compilation video. Any Squilliam ideas you've been sitting on, this is your chance to get them in. Let's take a moment to remember the time every studio used to gather in one place to present their latest and greatest, before everyone started holding their own little conference no one cares about. If you have any memorable moments of past E3s, good or bad, post them in this thread. For old time's sake and so I can put some of it into the video. >I'm a newfag and what is this? It's been an 8chan tradition to make OC from a template based on Squilliam from Spongebob getting a heart attack. Download a template, open it in your favorite drawing/editing software and go nuts. When you're done, post it here (in a reply to the right anchor post to help me keep track of it). >How long do I have? I'm aiming for Sunday the 23rd of June as submission deadline, the video will be released sometime after that. >Can [board] on the webring participate? Of course! Whether it's a video game board, or just a hangout board interested in making OC. All I ask is that you help me find it by cross-posting your stuff here and linking it to the proper anchors. Feel free to share in your post what board you're representing. >What song are you going to use? Walk Away by Dokken >Is there gonna be a mosaic? Yes, see the later post. Try to make your squares E3-related if you can, this is about the death of E3, after all. >Are we never gonna see another compilation again? You probably will, I hope to make another one with a new template next year. I'm not making any promises, however.

Majin tensei has it as a big vocal point with the main relationship. There is a true ending where there is no death, but there is 20+ things you have to do in game to get it that it's pure bullshit the amount of times you have to replay a single 2 hour stage for a different cutscene to explain one thing in the sequel. Unless putting in 8-10 hours worth of grinding for the true ending, the normal ending is good enough.

2009 legacy league of legends Anonymous 11/15/2024 (Fri) 04:38:51 Id: fe6a18 No. 1039872 [Reply] [Last]
Take down if you feel fit. But I'm not the most savvy with trying to get old games to work and figured I'd make a post here where riot cucks wont touch. So I noticed you can get a copy of the 2009 cd League of Legends on internet archive. I wanted to see about hosting some old league with friend's but every ounce of research I do to see if there's anyway to do that with the files. But I just get stuff about riot taking down fan project attempts to revive old league. I just want to have a silly time with the superior version of league with friend's so any software savvy peep's able to tell me how I might be able to achieve my goal? On another note favorite splash-art or design from classic league?

MONSTER HUNTER THREAD: (Breath of the) Wilds Edition. Anonymous 10/29/2024 (Tue) 06:51:04 Id: 6c0959 No. 1032729 [Reply] [Last]
So the beta for MonHun Wilds is out and I've played it. It's OK. I'm not a hardcore Monster Hunter fan, I only played World and Rise up to the end of the story and didn't go for any post-game content, but this is way more casual-friendly than the previous entries. The camera now locks on to the monster instead of just centering on them for a split second. I could spam attacks with dual blades and interrupt at a moment's notice with the dodge roll, so I didn't have to pace my button presses. The wound feature is pretty cool. Basically you just attack one body part over and over until it glows red, then enter focus mode with L2 and press R1, and you do a super move on it. Focus mode lets you basically strafe and finely aim your attacks like it's a third-person shooter. The new support creature, the seikret, is cool. It automatically follows the monster's scent once you're on it so tracking the monster is now piss-easy. I only did the first hunt against the giant toad, I turned it off after that. There is another hunt you can do afterwards but I wanted to get back to the Romancing Saga 2 remake. Overall, I think I would play it. I expect hardcore MonHun fans will be pissed at how baby-mode it is now though. I'm nowhere near a seasoned veteran and I played it just like Dark Souls and that worked fine for me. YMMV.

>>1040160 I've been playing 3U with some friends. We're now HR7 so almost at Dire Miralis. I know Goldbeard Ceadeus has some of the best armour you can get in G-rank, so I thought it would be a good idea to get Nibelsnarf armour for pierce up and Green Narga's HBG for pierce 3 so we can fuck up Ceadeus or whatever other annoying monster we might need to kill underwater. idk if that's the best HBG you could get but it seemed easy enough to make because you can make it directly without having to upgrade into it. >>1040247 Charge blade, greatsword and insect glaive are all really fucked up in that game, but the village quests are pretty easy, at least up until high rank. Honestly, not the worst thing in the world as you are pretty much required to beat the entire village to get through the hub as well (which I think is appropriately difficult, if you feel like soloing).

STOP KILLING GAMES CAMPAIGN Anonymous 04/03/2024 (Wed) 10:24:44 Id: dc9eb5 No. 954406 [Reply] [Last]
TO EUROBROS AND STRAYAN ANONS: YOU CAN DO YOUR PART AND TAKE ACTION TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD, AS A CONSUMER, TO STOP GAMES AS A SERVICE. https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w70Xc9CStoE >An increasing number of videogames are sold as goods, but designed to be completely unplayable for everyone as soon as support ends. The legality of this practice is untested worldwide, and many governments do not have clear laws regarding these actions. It is our goal to have authorities examine this behavior and hopefully end it, as it is an assault on both consumer rights and preservation of media. This campaign originally started from some youtuber who hated the fact that The Crew, an Ubishit racing game, would close their online services and making the game he purchased basically unplayable. Even if it would technically be possible to run the game offline, it's unfortunately prevented by DRM and other jewish nonsense plaguing modern gaming today. He is making a rallying campaign, asking for the 12 million people who effectively got scammed after buying The Crew to make their voice heard and complain about this, so that governments can take action and hopefully set a precedent to destroy GAAS as we know it in an effort to preserve videogames. Any step taken towards making publishers and greedy kike game companies release offline versions of multiplayer-only games is a win. Any effort contributing to popularizing the now lost practice of giving server tools to gamers for them to make their own community servers is a good thing in my eyes. If you care about vidya, it's in your best interest to spread awareness of this campaign and do as much as you possibly can, even if you don't like the EU. Sign petitions, screech about it, etc. They've shown that they can seriously cripple anti-consumer practices, as seen with Apple.

>>1039430 Unpopular opinion. I'm a long-time Warcraft 3 veteran, and I think Reforged isn't so bad. They patched a lot of the issues with launch for multiplayer. I really like how they brought back older UI designs from The Frozen Throne for Reforged. I like how they have an option to use the Classic models as well (I always prefer Classic over Reforged, so glad there's an option to revert a few of the changes). My only complaint is how they changed the lobby chat for custom games...
I do not understand why they keep pushing the "WC3 but with better graphics" meme when we already have HD graphics mod packs, they did what the community had done before but butchering the original character design in the process. Reforged HD units look like dogshit. Just re-release the original game but with better modding tools and let the community do the rest.

>>1039295 >They all praise the UE5 choice but cry about the performance/stability + requirements as if it had nothing to do with that decision. Performance and Stability aren't the biggest problems with UE5. The biggest problem is that it's a canned game engine that's dead simple to use. Anybody can learn it and slot into any development team who uses UE. That's part of it's appeal, but the flip side of that coin is that by abandoning in-house developed engines you end up with a generalized can of shit that can't really do what you need your game to do as well as you need it to. It also squeezes out talent, because it's hard work to create a game engine to spec for games that haven't been created yet - and having a studio full of people who know how to use your companies own proprietary game engine means you'll retain talent to a much greater degree and that talent will be more highly paid with better benefits. The whole reason why you're seeing such a push to unionize in game development now is because talent is being pushed out in favor of outsourcing development to a shitload of outsourcing studios - who themselves are getting pump and dumped as soon as the game ships. You don't see Unionization for high-skill labor, because those skillsets are themselves leverage against corporate mistreatment. You only see unionization take hold in low-skill jobs, which the game industry has largely become. Meanwhile we get very pretty AAA games that run like dogshit, play like dogshit, have dogshit consistency between assets/environments, are full of bugs, and are overall just sterile and lack any spark of creativity. A lot of people blame the publishers for that, and it's not like they don't bear a good measure of the blame - but this trend towards canned game engines and the flooding of the labor market with low-value employees is a major factor as well.
>>1039551 Would the move to canned game engines not be a result of publishers or the other financial backers refusing to fund the development of propriotry engines for their games as a time and cost saving measure? I would also argue that, if the answer to the question above is in the affirmative, the flooding of the studios with low skill employment may be a knock on effect of studios seek to pay their employees as little as possible and as such they shed all the talented developers to begin with. I mean I've heard stories about how the industry is nortorious for underpaying devs (especially the maths guys you really need to develop an engine) way under market value for the skills they have.

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?

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.

>>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!
