Playing on Permadeath
Hey /v/iggers.
I recently pirated The Last of Us 2. Wasn't a fan of the first game and the sequel seems to have way too many cutscenes, but I really wanted to try it out for a long time since I heard that it has really good stealth and the game is about as gorgeous as games can look. Anyways, there are a ton of options available to you before starting, one of them being related to how death works; you can set it to where you have the traditional reset at a recent checkpoint, reset at the chapter beginning, reset at the act beginning, or reset at the very beginning. I set it to the act beginning, though this did little to discourage me from inpulsively jumping off a cliff to test whether it had an invisible wall.
I wanted to ask whether you think there are times where it shouldn't be an option and that a game should force permadeath, or if not quite that, some sort of limit to the amount of times you can die like in arcade games. Do you think it heightens tension to an exciting level or to the point of annoyance?

Hollow Knight
>Hollow Knight Silksong's trailer has suddenly been taken down from its Steam page.
Do you guys think the game will be further delayed? or will it make its target of 2025. I know everyone here has been waiting a long time for this game, so I'd be pissed if we had to wait another six years for the game to finally be ready. What the fuck are Team Cherry even doing with the game that made it take so long to release?

Also, you need the ROM to function ala Sonic 3 AIR. Meaning that Nintendo can't do shit (and also doesn't collide with their shit hype games). If does, then go download before they do so. It might overshadow the romhacking scene in this game, since PC ports are usually flexible and easy to edit.

Yakuza Thread
I had been wanting to get into the Yakuza series for awhile, but didn't know where to start, so I got a used copy of the remastered collection. I just started playing Yakuza 3. It feels like it's taking forever to actually get started, but I'm interested to see where everything goes. It seems like it could be really fun once things finally get going.
However, I later found out a lot of people consider it the worst game in the series, and that makes me wonder if I should even keep playing it. Some say to skip the first five games altogether, while others say everything after Yakuza 5 is fake nu-Yakuza, especially the remakes or 1 and 2. Who is telling the truth?
Also, general Yakuza thread.

Basically this is a thread for those minor news articles that are interesting but not necessary big enough to have their own thread. We will be taking the bigger stories from these threads and making them into their own threads, Anons are welcome to do the same. We will NOT be heavily enforcing these threads, so please keep that in mind. Basically things like game announcements, live stream events, new gaming hardware, etc. should have their own threads while shit like NEW GUILTY GEAR DLC 3 "SLAYER" or something like that should be posted in this thread. While we won't ban anyone for doing the former, we encourage anons to use their best judgement when posting news content.

Why do some people think Okami is one of Kamiya's weakest games?
I know that it's very easy and its combat has very little depth but I don't see these points as flaws. Okami is not an arcadey action game like DMC and Bayonetta, instead it's an action adventure game.
It's way more experiential and that's amazing. I love its art style, its world, and its characters. All of those things are as important as the gameplay in this type of game and Okami and nails all of these things.
Also, I don't get why so many people have issue with its length because if Okami was shorter then the experiential aspects of the game would be greatly diminished as Clover would have to cut a lot of areas and characters in order to make the game shorter.

Great series with iffy first entries
>Just Cause
Less iffy and more downright bad, many JC fans have never played or even seen the first game in the series, leading to the joke "Just Cause starts at 2".
Buggy, empty, repetitive, janky, did I mention buggy? Because it is SO buggy, it's bugging out absolutely all the time at every moment, there is never a period where this game is not struggling to keep itself from collapsing; vehicles that don't work, physics that don't work, explosives that glitch more often than they function, NPCs that can't stop themselves from killing their own, a camera that frequently finds itself under the map.
Realizing the enormous scale of the map will strike you with awe the first time you play it, and the gameplay will ensure there's no second time.
>Arena
While having some very cool elements and a fun spell creation system, TES1 is an odd and obviously slap dashed game that went through wild development swings.
The dungeons are infamously a mess and it's so unbalanced towards magic that playing a non-spellcasting class is effectively challenge mode. It struggles from a lack of real content beyond procgen dungeon crawling, and while it is fun for a dungeon crawler from the era, there are better in the genre. The sequel improves upon it in every way.
>Codename 47
Just not fun. If you've played C47 you know it's terrible, shocking it ever got a sequel let alone turning into one of gaming's premier stealth franchises.
Beyond the very toybox-esque levels you'd expect for a game from 2000, everything about it feels unpleasant and it's frequently very difficult in a bad way, even the camera is in an awkward position. Most of the hits aren't well designed and some appear literally impossible to do stealthily. C47 also commits one of the worst sins of a stealth game: the AI is wildly inconsistent and hard to predict.

Video game tropes that you dislike and why.
I hate this trope where any creatures are a byproduct, feeds and is affected by the human mind. It worked on gods for numerous reasons, but there's no reason to add that to cryptic's akin to a mothman, a kappa or a fucking goblin, being created by humanity's (un)conciousness or some dumb shit. Because by that, you can basically turn them into anything you want as long as you have a fine sized community who shares the same thoughts as you i.e porno, there's no real characteristics or anything interesting about it outside of some psudo-psychologist nerds on Reddit tells you so. Since they're preset anyway.
It's worse if said creatures have personalities and their own society, culture, even religion and mythology. Imagine being infested in their world for a really long time, that in the end it's all fake, and I don't mean if it's real or not.
It's as bad as "It's all a dream, bro". A huge cop out because hack writers have no idea what they should do with their settings anymore. So instead they choose the safest option. And it's not just any of these stuff I said above. If you make a "big plot twist" on a already established settings then it automatically turns into dogshit. For example: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.

FAQ
Where do I get BIOS files, prod.keys, NAND dumps, system ROMs, and other firmware?
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulator_files
My PC is a toaster. Are there any emulators I can run?
Most emulators of the 16-bit era (fourth generation) and earlier consoles (e.g., Sega Genesis, NES, Atari 2600, etc.) can be run on any PC, even one with a CPU clock speed of below 1 GHz. higan is the only exception because it's highly accurate and requires a 3 GHz CPU for optimal performance. Other emulators such as Snes9x, Kega Fusion, Mesen, etc. can be run on any PC that can run Windows.
My save states do not work in the new version of the emulator I downloaded. Why?
Save states are not compatible between different versions of emulators, or between different emulators. Don't rely on them. Use real/battery saves which typically can be transferred, even if they need to be converted first.
My game isn't working. How do I resolve problems on my own?
Emulators can have stable builds that are weeks, months, and sometimes even years old. The "stable" version is often just a randomly picked dev (short for development) version, which is why the latest dev versions should often be preferred, as they solve emulation issues most of the time. If you're using a plugin-based emulator, graphical glitches and sound issues could be solved by changing the settings or using a different, better plugin altogether. Newer, more accurate emulators that do not use a plugin system may also be recommended. Try changing the graphics backend between OpenGL, Direct3D, and Vulkan. Sometimes, questions may have been asked and answered multiple times in the past. Check online. If you still can't find a solution, ask. Provide system specs, operating system, emulator, version, settings, plugins, system emulated, game emulated, and the problem itself.

LIST OF ARCHIVED THREADS!
https://rentry.org/ViviansList
CURRENT TASKS:
1. OPERATION MAX REVIVE
Rebuild the board's userbase and activity through simple, but effective methods
1. Post across the entire board
Activity creates activity. Use threads you like, make new ones if topics don't exist. Easy examples are Drawthreads and Friday Night threads, go request or draw something right now.
2. Recruit and recover lost or potential anons
Use this site's OC and features to entice anons if necessary when recruiting, just inform that we are alive.
Here's some sites and links with at least some confirmed anons that can be recruited again:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chotwheels
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SSAVCH

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GoodLuckEbolaChan
https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8ch.net

Other sites that might yield fruitful results and have anons (art sites use an account so you can see 18+ content):

https://twitter.com/search?q=Vivian%20James&src=typed_query&f=image
https://rpgcodex.net/
https://kotakuinaction2.win/
Somewhere on Telegram
Just searching up GG or 8chan-related terms on certain places/sites can get you possible results.
3. Make your own OC/Memes/Content
Doesn't matter what it is even if its just simple edits or full-on drawings or webms, just make it and have fun. Ask in thread for software recs if necessary.
4. Encourage or create fun events, activities, projects, etc.
Think things like 8chanmania, weekly streams, re-translation projects, demo days, or zzz's gaming magazine for example. If you want to do something, try making or reviving it, it can't hurt and these things are great for the board.
5. Use other boards
All it takes for a board to grow is at least 2 dedicated anons using it. Don't be afraid to make a post, check places periodically, shill, or what have you. Don't force discussions to boards, just encourage the usage of them.
2. OPERATION TRAJAN:
Collect and catalog all of the various localization and censorship accounts of past video games into a single repository from these sources:

Discussion, previews and reviews of Indie Games.
What indie games have you played recently?
I'm gonna write stuff about Indie Games i've played in 2025 so far. Bunch of good games.

I recently finished GIRLS MADE PUDDING
a rare indie game made by japanese devs. You play as 2 girls on motorcycle, venturing the world where everyone suddenly disappeared. The core gameplay is looting ingredients and cook foods to unlock dialogues between the girls about bunch of topics, especially the state of the world and future plan. There are also 2 side characters. The dialogues are fun & Comfy and the worldbuilding (mystery behind the disappearance) is great.
Kinda like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou + yuribait

Sonic the Hedgehog
With Sonic X Shadow Generations coming out in less than a week, now is a good time for a new Sonic thread. Personally I'm quite excited for the game, and am surprised it hasn't already leaked since it usually leaks around this time. Although I'm kinda disappointed we haven't seen a proper Adventure remake yet, hopefully this game will be good and will lead to good things as time goes on. Oh, and hopefully we'll get a Shadow remake that's actually good this time. I doubt SEGA has the balls to make that kinda game in the modern age though. Are you looking forward to Shadow Generations? Do you think we'll get more Sonic stages as DLC? Or will the game just be average and a waste of money and the cycle will repeat itself all over again, even though Frontiers as a modded game is solid. Still, this is the thread to discuss anything and everything Sonic the Hedgehog! please don't porn dump, I'm looking at you Bui

E-celeb faggotry containment thread
We haven't had one of these thread in a while, so I thought it might be ok, to once again have one of those containment threads, this time about e-celebs, and maybe some v-tubers like Rev says desu and patrician_tv :^). Anything goes, as long as it's somewhat vidya related, from Asmongold to Synthethic Man.
>But isn't the thread against the rules?
Rule 9 says that it's ok, as long as it's all contained in one single thread.
There was a recent thread about Synthethic Man that got deleted, but there was a topic that started to be formed, but I think the thread got deleted way before it managed to reach it's potential, that of e-celebs growing old. I dread to think someone starting as a gaming e-celeb in their late 20s and doing it up until their 50s or even 60s, just because they aren't popular enough to get enough money to retire early, but still profitable enough to keep the gift going. From my point of view either you manage to retire early like Pew Die Pie, become a complete cuck like James Rolfe, kill yourself like JewWario, flee from society like Game Dude, become a complete lol-cow like boogie, swallow the tranny pill like Cosmo, or manage to move on to something else. I guess you need a certain level of narcisim to want to become an e-celeb, so it's hard for me to comprehend why you would want to do this shit even in your 60s, but if you can't retire early, maybe you should just change the direction of your channel, even if risks alienating your fans, because otherwise you have to watch the e-celeb go through a middle life crisis, like what I think Synthethic Man is going through, and maybe Spoony when he did that drunken Twilight review.
So... how are you enjoying your games in your 30? Personally I don't play as much as I did in my teens and tweenties, as I dabble in other activities, but I am still passionate about the industry, and I still play games from time to time.
Anyway, I am waiting for patrician tv to finish his bike road trip so that he gets the footage for the Fallout 3/NV review and promised face reveal.

World of Warcraft - Project Epoch
This new fan-made private server just launched which adds a ton of new content to the base game such as new dungeons. Launch day was rough but let's be honest, that's to be expected with any WoW server.
To me it looks like it has the potential to be the Classic+ experience I've wanted for a long time. If it's not, then at least it was free.
Here's the trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opB3w1LaVBQ
>How do I play?
1) Go to
https://www.project-epoch.net/
2) Click the three bars in the top right and click How To Play
3) Download the client (this may take a while so you might want to do it overnight)
4) Download the Project Epoch installer and apply it to the base game
Just a head's up- it might be a couple of days before you're able to easily get in.

Valve Deckard: Now known as Steam Frame: Either announced this month or pushed to 2026 last minute
For those not in the know, Valve has been working on a mixed reality headset for gamers to play both traditional games and VR games on. The rumored price for the full bundle is 1,200 dollars and the Proof of Concept ran a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which had a GPU one generation newer than the XR2 Gen 2, and used a 2160x2160 lenses with a 120hz frame rate. It also has two eye tracking cameras and 4 SLAM cameras. Chances are they'll likely make an LCD version first and then ship an OLED version a year or two later after prices go down a bit.
One of the positives of this headset and why most people including myself are looking forward to it is because unlike Facebook, Samsung and Apple headsets, this will be running a fully fledged Arch system similar to the Steam Deck. Although the hardware will be running games on ARM through Proton and the FEX Emulator. It is also rumored to run Android XR and Facebook games through Waydroid, and is rumored to run a Adreno 750 GPU although there are other rumors of an AMD or NVidia GPU made for this headset, but you shouldn't get your hopes up for those rumors to be true.
Personally, I hope this brings new life into the XR market and kicks the shit out of Facebook and Apple since they made VR headsets into shitty phones rather than an open marketplace where developers can make and distribute apps without an app store or anything like that. Either way there are rumors that it should be announced this month or else it might be pushed to 2026.

Thread dedicated to the discussion of games from the Fire Emblem franchise.
The often asked question: "I'm new to the series. Where should I start?" for modern FE experience is Three Houses (Switch - 2019) or Engage (Switch - 2023), and for semi old school FE experience is Awakening (3DS - 2012) or Fates (3DS - 2015) or Echoes (3DS - 2017).

Gachashit Ghetto - Mobage Galore

Raid: Shadow Legends edition.
Given how many anons here play these titles and request an area to discuss them beyond

Aether Gazer is available on both PC and mobile or the number of gacha games on Steam) should be directed to this thread instead

Lies of P and
Brown Dust 2 were both developed by Neowiz, or how neato
Versus and
Relink are as part of Cygames'

Action Taimanin's 4th anniversary, you can't talk about how well it runs on PC here.

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.
>Persona X, the one with the hag, has been spotted on Steam's database as coming to Global on PC.
>Atelier Resleriana seems to want to apologize for Koei Tecmo's egregious globohomo censorship by parading the cast out for the obligatory summer event with bikini and swimsuit costumes. Unfortunately, it doesn't undo the fact that policore safety shorts are being slapped everywhere faster than pedophiles can slap children's asses.
>Tribe Nine is a thing. Came and went on Steam Next Fest.
>Dead or Alive: Penis Vacation is pushing out Prism onto consoles, but the original gacha still exists in its glory.
>I'm going to go out on a limb and start editorializing, because Netease has the unenviable task of trying to sell Destiny Rising to the gacha demographic and it is hilarious. Yes, I'm sure pronouns are going to help it compete with big titty anime girls.

The Legend of Zelda Thread
Skyward Sword got a lot of things right. When compared to Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, you have to admit that it is as good or better than both. At least I admit it.
Seriously though, I actually do prefer SS to both WW and TP. I prefer it in dungeons, music for the most part, combat, gameplay, characters, side quests and a lot more I can't think of at the moment. Of the things I'd fix, I wish there were a way to make the "beneath the Sky" area interconnected since the sequence of finding a statue, going up to the sky, flying to the light beam, selecting where to land and then being able to go can get a bit bothersome. Also I wish taking off on your loftwing from Skyloft were as seamless as you do it when you fly from anywhere else in the sky (probably hardware limitations, but I also wish the HD Remaster would have fixed it). Even still, this one is one of my favorite 3D Zelda games and it always has been.

Dispatch
Did anybody else try the demo?
I liked the occasional Telltale game back in the day, so I was curious about Dispatch when it was announced. The premise of you being a 911 operator for superheroes is good, and I think the cast looked fun. The e-celeb voice cast seemed like a terrible idea though.
After playing the demo I'm still on the fence. The actual gameplay of getting a call and sending the best character you have to deal with it seemed good enough. It was very shallow, but I think it can work for a story driven game like this if they do a good job of making your choices matter. The writing is peak millennial slop though. The old nigger said "fuck" about 50 times in the 30 minute demo. Quips galore. I still like the premise, but the writing might make me skip it.

>What is Touhou?
Touhou Project is a video game series created by Team Shanghai Alice. ZUN, the founder and only member of the group, is the sole mind behind the games, from the code to the graphics to the music and everything in between. The first game was released in 1997. Most of the games are part of the bullet hell shoot-'em-up genre, where the player dodges waves of beautiful and destructive curtains of bullets called danmaku. ZUN is a staunch supporter of doujin developers and has encouraged others to create fanworks based on Touhou Project. This has lead to Touhou becoming a cornerstone of internet culture for over two decades through memes, music remixes, artwork, and fan animations.
>Where can I buy Touhou games?
The easiest way is through Steam, which has most titles from the series.
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9%E5%B9%BB%E6%A8%82%E5%9B%A3&ndl=1
You can also purchase physical CD copies of the games online.
>What Touhou game do I start with?
It depends. While the games are numbered, starting at Touhou 1 and going through the series numerically may not make for the best experience. Feel free to ask in the thread and an anon will give you some advice.

Graphical Stagnation and Regression
<aka "they're gonna take you to the present, where your screen is fucking unpleasant" the thread
>aka grafix discussion bread
So I don't think it's much of a secret these days that despite
<TAA, with ghosting and trailing
<mandatory upscaling
<framegen
<raytracing and pathtracing
more and more games are shipping out in worse technical states asking for more power while less is delivered. There are a myriad of reasons for this state of affairs but TL;DR something systemic is definitely going on and it's led to ripple effects like gamers buying more PC indie titles, reevaluation of the eighth generation, backlash against Unreal Engine, and the Threat Interactive drama. "buy new GPU" is no longer a valid dismissal since Nvidia's poor showing at CES, with barely an uptick in compute and the push for 75% fake frames and neural texture compression.

Post about games that you just FINISHED
I seem to be getting the strange feeling more and more that the Anons who keep posting about the games they're "playing" never actually finish those games. As in they just drop the game after a certain point and lose interest in it for whatever reason (Even if it's a great game). So, to remedy that, let's have this thread, where Anons boast about crossing off another title on the backlog. And, to guilt all the other Anons into doing the same.

Mount & Blade: Bannerlord
Are there any mods that make new clans that spawn into campaigns not just the faction leader + {'s clan}? Seems like such a trivial fix they already have a random clan name generator when starting the game.
Not setting life and death off is also kind of funny but offspring are usually set to minimum height/weight and nobleman/women seem to have a 50/50 chance of having either gender's clothing so you end up with deformed men in women's clothing and so on. I used a mod to manually create better looking nobles but I don't get how they aren't fixing stuff like this I mean they're going to release DLC in a month and it's still neglected like this.

Stop Killing Games (pt. 2)
Headed by Ross Scott of Accursed Farms, Stop Killing Games is an initiative aiming to establish a standard in the EU for videogame companies to necessarily provide an End-of-Life (EOL) solution once publisher-supported servers and services go offline. Originally spurred by focus on Ubisoft's
The Crew, the movement quickly grew into encompassing countless titles that have in recent years published, failed, and been taken (permanently) offline, restricted and removed from the access of owners. Already having hit the required minimum of 1,000,000 signatures, the European Citizens' Initiative is likely to be presented before EU Parliament in the coming months. Current controversies surrounding the campaign include a scathing overview by infamous Twitch streamer Pirate Software (aka Jason "Thor" Hall), posts and videos in support by countless internet personalities (such as Louis Rossman and other more well-known gaming YouTubers such as PewDiePie and MoistCr1TiKaL) as well as the suspicion and worry of botting by numerous parties to boost the signature count to the required minimum.
As of now, the campaign has just over 1.21 million signatures and counting.

Borderlands.
I am confused by something /v/. I was surprised to find out that borderlands 4 was released but it has less than 4000 reviews as of me writing this. I think this is odd since I was entirely expecting normalfags to just eat it up like they ate up 3. So why aren't they? It might not seem related at all but I was under the impression that about 3-5% of gamers leave steam reviews. So having the numbers for a major triple AAA game be low baffles me a bit.
I want it to be clear that I fucking hate gearbox and i have hated them since the second borderlands game. For some reason people pretend like borderlands 2 is good for whatever reason. So I am quite a bit happy that Gearbox is flopping but I am still confused why. The quality of a game doesn't matter at all to sales so I am ruling that out. Was there a controversy before hand? That usually doesn't matter either but maybe some people were more pissed than usual?
Maybe people are just distracted by everything else going on right now. That could be a factor but I am not sure if that is enough to explain how little this game is selling. Maybe I am to quick to jump to conclusions and the game will sell really well tomorrow? Please help me out here /v/.
Also the pestilent defiler is the best gun.

Ninja Thread
In this OP i'll be drawing attention to
>Ninja Gaiden Ragebound 2nd Protagonist - Kumori
>Ninja Gaiden 2 Black mods
>The return of Intercept technique to Ninja Gaiden 2004
Many recent developments have happened for Ninja Gaiden that are worth bringing attention to. I'm making the OP about Ninja Gaiden, but Ninja's are a pretty broad category when it comes to video games, so feel free to post about other games that involve ninjas.
<Nioh 2 Sliders code for my Goemon is S-Qkip+DaP4x=z
As of the day of this thread's creation, a new Trailer for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound has dropped showcasing the 2nd protagonist Kumori a Kunoichi for the Black Spider Clan. Seems she and the other new protagonist Kenji of the Hayabusa clan, for the sake of their own survival, will join forces literally, as their spirits have been bound together.
>With upgradable abilities, hidden collectibles, unlockable secret missions, optional challenges, and more, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a thrilling modernization of the tense, satisfyingly swift battles and precise, skill-demanding platforming the series is known for.
They seem to be laying it on thick that this is a real Ninja Gaiden game, not simply an appetizer for NG4.
In other news when it comes to Ninja Gaiden 2 Black some Glorious bastard finally made the Hayabusa armor from Halo 3 a mod, In multiple colors as well. This has been a very long time coming.
https://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaiden2black/mods/150?tab=files
If one desires to make NG 2 Black more In line with NG2 360 then the "Ninja Gaiden 2 White" mod exists, to the same Ballance changes that the Simga 2 Black mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaiden2black/mods/30
There are plenty of cool mods for NG2 Black that are worth taking a look at.
Now this last bit of info about NG 2004 is a fair bit old, but it's still obscure, and most people are not informed of these developments.
For those who haven't heard of it before, The Intercept Technique is an ability that can only be found in the The Hurricane Packs DLC for Ninja Gaiden (2004), up until recently this DLC was Quite difficult to actually get access to, as the DLC was designed to be accessed with an Xbox Live connection. If you couldn't connect to Xbox live in NG 2004 you were incapable of starting a playthough of the DLC, the only way to access that DLC offline would be to already have a Save file ready to load into. Now thanks to the fan run replacement for Xbox live 1.0 Insignia, it is possible to connect either an actual Original Xbox, or XEMU to Insignia's Servers, and get access to the DLC properly once again.
The Significance of The Intercept Technique is that it Essentially grants Ryu Royal Guard, by Blocking with good timing, once an Intercept is performed you'll have enough Invincibility to perform your next action entierly free. The Intercept was understandably overpowered, thus it was not bought forward to Ninja Gaiden Black, but it's still a cool move to play around with, so anyone who is a fan of NG1 would likely be Interested in running a play through with the Intercept, just for a change of pace.

The prologue hooked me right in.

Kind of a lame OP, could have put a bit more effort in, but I just finished the game and would like to talk about it, so it's better than nothing.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this game. There are certainly flaws, which become most apparent in the latter part of the game, but I don't believe any of them can completely ruin most people's experience. So much has been said about how great the music and the aesthetic of the game are, but I'm most impressed with how the characterization and ending was handled. It's clear that one of the main ideas the writers wanted to convey was that there were no true villains with evil intentions involved with the plot, and they definitely succeeded in expressing that.

Luanti thread
I'm afraid to make a Luanti thread because the game is much better than Minecraft. It's the definitive block building video game. (popularity is not a measure of quality). I'm afraid to make a thread and advertise it's existence for fear of it becoming too popular (normalfags ruin everything).
I'm going to make 1 thread about it (per imageboard) and that's it because the userbase is a bit TOO small for my taste and this game could use a bit more players.
>How is Luanti better than Minecraft
-it is a self contained and simple application. The audio always works, the game always runs reliably.
-simple and intuitive Linux and Windows support
-it is a convenient platform for mods. This is a big deal. Mods are a 1 click install. There's been times where I didn't like something about the base game so I immediately went and downloaded a mod and the problem was fixed in 5 minutes.
-Open source for maximum customizability
-every aspect of this game is free as in costs no money.
-no corporate faggotry overlordom from micro$oft
-Online play is simple and intuitive

Delete Digital Dilation
It turns out trannies stuck "body type" shit in the new Digimon game. I’m tired of this shit and I'm sure everyone else is too. Why don’t we submit it as a bug en mass? Bandai Namco has a bug report system with actual people staffing it (years ago I got an actual response for reporting Denuvo as malware. It was denying it, but it was clearly a bewildered human and not a stock response). Since there’s a demo with this tranny shit present, reporters can skip all the normal problems with needing to (claim to) have purchased anything for such filings. The best part is they put it on the same system ticket system that the use for handling billing related issues and the like, the kind governments can turn a company inside out for mismanaging, so they can’t just dump on some libtard intern and let it gatekeep.
All you need to report is a free account, which just requires an email address. If you know French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, or Korean (Japanese appears to be only for live service titles. Portuguese doesn’t appear to have its own support page but the Portugese general BN page links to the “North America” one) it’s even better because these will almost certainly go to regional support that’s even harder to gatekeep.
For Americas (Latin American Spanish and BR Portugese main Bandai Namco sites link here, though the support directory claims its for North America)
https://support.bandainamcoent.com/s/ (PC falls under “submit console game case”. “Online store” is for the singular NB online store alone.)
For Europe:

You ever hear how Linux users make up 38.5% of bug reports despite making up only 5.8% of sales? It’s not just because of the nature of Linux users leads to us reporting bugs as a matter of course, but how few “normal” users ever bother filing a bug report or even recognize there’s a process for them. Just a few hundred reports will be way more than they ever get most of the time. Even just forcing them to say it’s intentional choice is a self inflicted humiliation that can be held over their heads (and can maybe thrown at “conservative” media to raise a bigger stink). At worst you wasted a few minutes of time.
When reporting 1: Be polite so they can’t just toss it out for that 2:Refer to this as either a serious mistranslation, and/or a sexist slur stuck in the menu by a bad actor. Don’t even humor the idea it’s to appeal to anyone, just treat it with confusion or disgust. 3: Ask if it will be fixed in the final release, mentioning it will effect your decision to purchase if such an obvious issue is fixed or not. Avoid any templates because anti-spam systems can easily ignore all of them. Don’t spam because it gives them an excuse to ignore everything.
As a bonus, you can also drop a negative review on the demo, since that's possible now.

This doesn't mean games that have a lot of dialogue or large dialogue trees, like New Vegas or Disco Elysium.
We're talking games with the characters will not stop talking. Constant banter, verbose conversations, quippy dialogue, characters explaining and repeating what to do next; commenting on everything they see/think, puzzles being explained before you even grasp them, and so on.

/agdg/ for idiots - Awful Games Done Goofily thread
Hello, I am a lazy-assed motherfucker who wants to program vidya but has the attention span of a fruit fly and can not stick to a project for more than a week before giving up and abandoning it. So let's have a thread for people like me to plan out a simple game, slap it together, stick to it, get something done, and show off to each other. We will each follow a general outline, and each of us will add our own flair to it.
This week is prep week. We need two things.
1. a VOLUNTEER to be our guru and decide on a technology platform, and to be able to answer tech questions. The platform must be free-as-in-beer and run on my broken toaster of a computer, and newbies need to be able to use it. I hear that Godot is popular. I have seen some good games made in Twine but have never gotten custom code to work correctly. Other than that I have no idea what games are programmed in these days.
2. we need to decide what sort of simple game we want to make. Do we want to do an Asteroids clone? A Choose Your Own Adventure? Feel free to recommend some simple game from the 1980s or an old classroom assignment. We can point to an online tutorial and say "let's all do that" and let's do it.
Newbies who have never programmed a game before are encouraged to join. This is where you get started.
I will be the incompetent middle management making overall decisions.
This week: get your dev environment set up and play around with tutorials
April 19th: I will announce the project
First week: Start coding your game
April 27th: Give an update on how it's going
Second week: Add flair and finishing touches
May 4th: Show us what you've done, no matter how bad it looks. Give us your crashing error screen. We'll take it and laugh at it together. We've all been there.
In between: feel free to ask "does anyone know how to...?" questions. The quickest way to solve a technical question is to ask on a forum. You will figure out the answer just after the post goes through.

>Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Playable at EVO 2025
>Sony announces their own PlayStation arcade stick with wireless connectivity and digital customizable joystick
<Not having a hitbox in 2025 ISHIGGYDIGGY
>Sagat will be released for Street Fighter 6 on August 5th
>Ken for CotW will probably be released soon
Yeah, we haven't had this thread in a while so I figured I'd make one since it's EVO time on Friday and it only makes sense to make a thread around the worlds biggest fightan tournament
Even though the FGC is a fucking mess. Regardless I'm looking forward to seeing some new games getting announced,
hopefully we can even see a Shonen Jump VS Capcom game In my dreams.
That being said we can also use this thread to set up tournaments and multiplayer matches if you guys want. Just tag the OP so people know to match up.

Classic fantasy.
I have recently got this urge for classic fantasy. I mean the kind of sword and board that used to be everywhere. The kind of vibe that I am thinking of can be found in Heretic, There you are an elf shooting lightning at bad guys while flying around on wings of hatred. I think Golden axe has a similar vibe but a lot lighter. Gauntlet dark legacy has it as well.
I guess Hexen has it as well being a sequel to heretic but I dont enjoy backtracking.

Guide to a Happy Share Thread
>Requesters
1. Before requesting, search online and even use distributed search engines (e.g. InfraSearch, Opencola, YaCy, FAROO).
2. Look in linked sites at the top of the OP
3. Be as specific as possible. A title, release year and cover art will help.
4. Some links might purposely be misleading by having spaces, lines, keys & passwords split in the post. This includes torrent hashes.
a. If you see a string of characters (e.g. c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a) with or without dashes, it is a magnet link.
b. If your bittorrent is shit, prepend magnet:?xt=urn:btih: to the string.
c. Find and Replace (sed/tr/awk) is your friend.
>Uploaders
1. Try to make sure whatever you post isn't infected with 15 different Russian crypto miners.
2. Please make sure your files actually work.
3. If your link is password protected, PLEASE provide it. This isn't Cicada 3301, nobody wants to play riddles.
4. If there are any special provisions in playing a game, such as requiring SmartSteamEmu or a cracked executable, don't assume everybody knows that and provide clear instructions.
5. Try to avoid uploading to sites that require an account or throttle download speed.
a. ESPECIALLY not websites that make you jump through hoops to setup an account. Again, nobody likes riddles.
b. Websites that limit you to one download at a time or every X number of hours should also be avoided.
6. No "Oh, you can find that on SLSK" or "This private tracker has the upload!". Don't defer to private communities and don't just tell somebody where the files are, actually share them!
Most importantly,
DO WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE.

Animated PNG thread - Rebuilt Geocities Edition
Suggested from
>>1031266 in the sexy sprite thread
The idea is very simple: You take your GIFs & convert them to APNG.
Why would you want to do this? Let me explain
>APNG is usually smaller in file size vs. GIF while still maintaining the same quality
>thus, APNG images in posts endlessly loop without having to click on them due to the smaller filesizes.
<GIF animations not so much even with the fewer frames of animation
Based on my testings, here is what I have determined to get working APNG animations on the posts in this site
>must not exceed above 25.00 KB in file size
>must not exceed above above 220px x 220px in image size
Use this website to convert your GIFs to APNGs:
https://ezgif.com/gif-to-apng
Then repost them if they meet the above criteria.

hello 8/v/ I would like to discuss a topic that was impossible to talk about on deadchan because of certain schizos. that subject is trends in sexualization in vidya, specifically in asian countries. historically japan has had a reputation for sexualized content in vidya. you would look at games like dead or alive xtreme or oneechanbara and think "this kind of game could only be made in japan." lately though it seems like this trend has been reversing. jap games are not as sexy as they used to be. dead or alive no longer has pole dancing. the titties in anime titty games are no longer as big or as exposed as they used to be. many people would blame this on western censorship, but I don't think that's entirely the case. you can see this trend even in games with little exposure in the west, especially in the realm of gachashit. if you look at popular jap games like umamusume or gakuen idolm@ster all you will find are safe and conservative designs. the trend may be most apparent with dead or alive penis vacation. both the new characters and swimsuit designs are noticeably more restrained than what you saw in doax2 and wouldn't be out of place in an idolshit game.
japan has always had a preference towards cuteness, even over sexiness, and I think this current trend is just a continuation of this preference. it may even be that highly sexualized characters were actually because of western influence, and now that the west has become gay and pozzed japan is returning to its natural interests. it's also worth noting that while characters are officially becoming less sexualized, fan art of them is as degenerate as ever. it may be that rather than being completely opposed to sexualized characters, the japs want ones that are presented as "good girls" in the source material, but whore themselves out to old men in fan works. I think there may be a link to this behavior with idolshit fans. they are known for being obsessed with the idea that their favorite idol is pure and uninterested in men, but then do shit like making them touch their cum at handshake events. many currently popular jap games are idolshit themed so it is likely that such behavior is being imported.
now the other aspect of this that I find interesting is that this trend does not seem to be replicated in other asian countries. korea and china have always been seen as simple copy cats of japan, but in this case they seem to have diverged. games like nikke, brown dust 2, and azure lane are full of hypersexualized designs even beyond what used to be expected from japan. characters from these games look like strippers and even have piercings and tattoos. even in terms of personalities characters explicitly want sex and try to jump the player character. perhaps this is also the influence of american culture. it's also interesting that blue archive, which is developed in korea but targeted at japan, is far more conservative than other korean games.
what do you think about this phenomenon? do you miss obscene anime titties? do you think it is a passing fad and they will return? will you switch to gook and chink games if they deliver when japs won't?

Turok!
I AM TUROK!
I started playing it again since the trilogy went on sale. Still very fun but there isn't nearly as many enemies as I remembered it being. Also level 4 is aids. 8 teleporters and only 1 leads to a key. Have fun figuring out which is which. The only game in the trilogy I haven't played is three and I am wondering if I even want to play turok 2 once I am done with 1 or if I should jump to 3. I never see anyone talk about 3. I used to see a bit of talk about turok 2 and the head drill but 3 seems to have been forgotten.
I also recently found out they are making a new one. Its a third person shooter though. I only know about it because I was looking for turok on steam. I knew more about that one chibi top down game than this new (seemingly) higher budget game. Did that chibi game even come out? Turok is cool but it seems condemned to obscurity.
I wonder if that guy with his n64 and actual physical copy of turok 1 is still here.

Metal Gear Solid
What happened to this franchise? It was once upon a time a very popular and beloved series. Did a zombie game really ruin their momentum? Or was it Hideo Kojima leaving?
I have a lot of great memories playing these games and the only thing they released in the past 7 years are remasters. The remaster collection did great but I can't see why they couldn't make another solid (what a great joke lmao) game in the series for modern fans.
If you ever played MGS1 on the Playstation 1, there was nothing like it. No doubt it catapulted the PS1 to levels it never would have done otherwise.

Most Obscure Game >(You) Personally Know
There are countless strange games out in the ether, most of them lost to time but a good portion saved by virtue of autistic retards the world over. Titles you've probably tossed your glance past at Gamestop or Best Buy years maybe even decades ago, or scrolled past without a second thought through a Steam sale at -95% off. Myabandonware has a ton of them, and whatever you might think of GoG they at least seem intent of picking up whatever old or forgotten games they can get their hands on to re-release for modern audiences.
I watch a lot of Youtube channels and (((video essays))) about obscure games, so I'm no stranger to a lot of them: Mizzurna Falls (proto-Deadly Premonition), E.V.O.: Search for Eden (proto-Spore), Garage: Bad Dream Adventure (proto-Jap/Slavjank?), Hellnight (proto... Resident Evil 3, sort of?), and countless others. They all seem to shine a little bit more of a light on the thought process of early game devs, or help to elucidate how trends and concepts have shifted and changed over the years, adapting to changing technology and the ever shifting target of what makes a game "good" or even "successful." If nothing else, it's fun to see how the seeds of future classics were present years before their release in some odd off-the-wall title probably forgotten by most. Inevitably, though, there are always more games yet to be unearthed, titles yet to be revealed to the masses, whether they're old 3DO or Dreamcast titles never localized, limited-run PC games from companies who had their lives cut short, or simply some odd concept that managed to fly under the radar for decades after release. You can only play so many games in one lifetime, and honestly the best way to learn about truly unique or obscure things is by word of mouth. Which is why I ask you...
What is the most obscure game you know of?

Cuhrayzee Vidya
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.

Postal 2: Redux
Welp, they're officially remaking Postal 2
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/postal2redux/postal-2-redux
>as of this post, $170,560 pledged of $250,000 goal
>It's finally time to relive a week in the life of The POSTAL Dude, a hapless everyman just trying to check off some chores. POSTAL 2 Redux is a ground-up revival of the filthiest sandbox on Earth: sharper, louder, bloodier, and finally arriving on modern consoles. If you wanted tasteful restraint, you backed the wrong campaign. Same POSTAL. New engine. Zero apologies.
<What's New
>A modern backbone. We’re hauling POSTAL 2 into Unity so it runs perfectly on modern hardware. This gives us the ability to have completely scalable requirements. Basically, for every platform this comes to it will look as good as it can for the hardware.
>Loading Zones, begone! Paradise streams in as you walk. No more load screens. Just roam and ruin.
>A complete graphical upgrade. Higher‑resolution textures, upgraded shaders and materials and lighting make every billboard, back alley, and biohazard pop.
>Guns with bite. Balancing the combat based on community feedback. Weapons are being rebuilt to hit harder, punch through flesh, and send bodies flopping with proper ragdolls. You’ll feel the boom.
>Check out my insides. Shipping malls, restaurants, offices, arcades—stuffed with destructible props. Let loose and see the World explode in front of your eyes.
>Crowds that find trouble faster. Civilians still snitch and cops still overreact, but smarter pathing means they get to the chaos quicker and make it messier when they do.
>Champ gets promoted from mascot to menace. Pet him, point him, weaponize him. Man’s best friend finally acts like it.
>Built to break out of the PC cage. Targeting PC and modern consoles so Paradise can spread its disease broadly and legally.
>Quality of life, everywhere. Widescreen done right, modern inputs, fewer crashes, smarter UI—the boring necessities so the fun stuff can be loud.
<Get an exclusive POSTAL 2 Redux Vinyl signed by the RWS team. Only available for the first 48 hours of the campaign. The vinyl will be signed and numbered.
<Includes a digital copy of the game and the Kickstarter exclusive content.
Welp, that's all she wrote. What are you expectations? Hopes? Dreams? Criticisms?
Remember that RWS became woke officially in the past few years. Correct me if I am wrong, but they also stood up for BLM at one point. They are trying to backtrack on that all and are throwing their lot in with the SKG movement, but is it too little, too late?

Anon's Bizarre Adventure AKA /v/ makes an RPG maker game - New people edition
Seeing that we have an influx of new users, I thought it is a good idea to bring back this project. (I copied an old OP by one of the anons so I hope they don't mind)
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)
Current version of the game:
v. 0591
https://mega.nz/file/itd1mCTJ#pgEQ3oQQWOgDCO_VLZGs8m1p_OQABjTj8tZ4YNobvlo
If you have a new version please notify us so that we can add it in the next OP.

>What about RPG Maker MV?
We decided in the last thread that we’re using VX Ace. We’re not changing this again. Get it out of your head right now. If you made content in MV you’ll have to back port it to VX Ace. It sucks, but we’re not doing any more engine changes.
>Why don't you fucks use version control?
Like RPG Maker MV, we tried that and the project died. Nobody wanted to learn git. It can't be helped. Plus someone needs a
(((premium))) account if we want the project to be private.
>Are you guys affiliated with [PUT ANY OTHER /v/ PROJECT HERE]
No, the group creating this game is not a stable dev group and is only comprised of random anons who get interested in the project enough to start developing is.
>Add X to the Game!
Suggestions are fine, but if you want something added to the game. DO IT YOURSELF. Its not that hard.
>What should I add?
Go nuts, add whatever the hell you like! (However, please keep in mind that if the filesize of this project gets too large it’ll become unruly to work with. So please be somewhat conservative when adding large music or .ogv files.)

Yes. Forever and ever.

Last thread is on page 12 and beyond the bump limit, but eroge marches steadily onward. Just at the beginning of this month, Monster Girl Quest:Paradox Part 3 finally released, making the game complete unless I missed something about them extending it to a 4th part. Available here,
https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ01114724.html
I do not yet know where to pirate it, but I'm sure it will crop up one of my usual sites around when translation is finished.
Still being actively translated, you can follow translation progress here,
https://arzorx.wordpress.com/
Given Part 2 took 3 months from the date of release, I except this one take at least that long, if not at least 4 months, as it's larger. In the meanwhile, I'm sure there's anons learning JP that may still enjoy the game, or may even want to contact the current team to contribute to the translation in the coming months.
Also mentioned at the end of the last thread and currently in development with a free demo is Princess Reconquista. Play a (totally not) Central/South American Princess and fight off your white (totally not) Spaniard conquerors in a pixelshit action game. Makes the mistake of losing being the method of accessing many scenes, but you can also tempt your enemies and watch other girls get
BLEACHED.

vidya with best audio design?
What vidya out of all those you've played has had the best, most atmospheric/immersive audio design? I'm getting high quality headphones for the first time in my life and would like to test them out on some games. As of now, I've heard that most horror should have good audio, but I'm a colossal pussy so would prefer other genres. Apparently Metro 2033 and Last Light are good, as well as Red Orchestra.

The Video Game Industry is imploding
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.

Battlefield / Call of Duty thread
Seems like Battlefield 6 is getting a bit of excitement in the normalfag sphere due to normalfags getting a bit upset with the direction Call of Duty has been taking itself in recent years. I noticed that secure boot is required because of EA's shitty anti-cheat, so I figured that was something worthy of note. Still I believe there's an Open Beta going on right now with Battlefield 6 hitting capacity of them having over 20,000 people waiting to get into the game. I'm not particularly looking forward to the game since I already play Cawwaduty sometimes since it comes with my Gamepass subscription, but what do you faggots think? Are you looking forward to the new Battlefield? or do you just not care about these shitty popcorn shooters.

Studio FOW were known for doing trashy SFM porn animation with cheap Dead or Alive asset flips. Then they asked for money to develop a game, with absolutely zero experience.
There were two idiots on that front, the unaware onlookers who decide to donate money to their crowdfund, thinking they were funding something revolutionary, without doing any background check on who Studio FOW was; and somewhat deceptive nature of the project, the hacks at Studio FOW weren't exactly on what kind of sexual content Subverse was about, the people mindlessly shilling for it and those who donated didn't seem to know Studio FOW was doing their usual shit of having women be fucked by creatures, willingly or not. Adding a stupid main character that looked like Hentai Kamen and actually enjoyed seeing women around him getting fucked by beasts was just adding a NTR flair that many people who got sucked into the shilling blindly wouldn't be very supportive of if they actually looked deep into the project before supporting it.

>"Waaaah! People will make fun of me if I play video games in public!"
Why are 4chan schizos like that? Playing video games in public has been a thing since the creation of video games with the arcades games and later with the handheld lcd games like the Game&Watch ones and then with portable consoles like Game Boy.
Besides with lots of obnoxious, annoying people in public like niggers, illegals, gypsies, loud Karen, normies who talk loudly at their phones etc, nobody will give a shit about a person who plays games quietly in a corner with his phone or portable console.

Crimson Desert delayed to Q1 2026
Pearl Abyss has delayed open-world action adventure game Crimson Desert from its previously planned late 2025 release window to Q1 2026.
>“Before the Q&A session, I would like to first share an update on the development status and release schedule of Crimson Desert, which many of you have been curious about,” Pearl Abyss said in its Q2 2025 earnings conference call. “Currently, Crimson Desert has been in the process of voice-overs, while also carrying out tasks such as console certification in preparation for its release. In the case of marketing, we plan to participate in Gamescom and PAX West this August to showcase our open-world build. And in September, we will join the Tokyo Game Show to strengthen our marketing efforts in the Japanese market.
>“The launch of Crimson Desert, our first large-scale AAA console game, has been unavoidably delayed by one quarter, from the previously announced schedule. This is due to longer than expected timelines arising from schedule coordination and collaborations with multiple partners for offline distribution, voice-overs, console certification, and other launch preparations. We sincerely apologize for not being able to meet the originally promised fourth quarter launch schedule. Please kindly understand that this is a strategic decision aimed at insuring success on a meaningful scale.
>“The release date has been internally confirmed for Q1 2026. However, given the change in launch timing, we will announce the date at a more appropriate time based on business considerations, rather than making an announcement at Gamescom next week. We are grateful for your continued interest in our company, and we will do our utmost to deliver an even better experience going forward.”
Personally, I think this game is either gonna be the next big open world game that brings all the normalfags together, or it'll be one of the biggest disasters since Cyberpunk PS4. I think it's extremely ambitious and promising the world, and I think that considering that this is an unknown game made by some MMO dev makes me think that this game is gonna be either a complete buggy mess or won't be released for another five years. The good news is that they released 13 minutes of gameplay where they basically go over some combat and a boss battle, nothing we haven't seen before. I'm just hoping the game will come out before GTA6 since publishers will likely try to avoid releasing games next to GTA due to normalfags chugging rockstars cock.

Bishoujo Super Street Fighter II: Glamor Queen
Bishoujo Super Street Fighter II: Glamor Queen and the New Femme Fatales is a Combo ROM Hack of the Sega Genesis version of Super Street Fighter II, where some of the fighters are replaced with female characters from various franchises. It could be one of the first of its kind, like the numerous ROM Hacks of Streets of Rage 2 & 3. An intent is to make the game easier to beat.
The fighter replacements, in order that they were made: Blanka is changed to Roll from Mega Man, Dhalsim is changed to Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, E. Honda is changed to Choi Jadoo from Hello Jadoo, Fei Long is changed to Emily from Unholy Night: The Darkness Hunter, Dee Jay is changed to Madonna from Makeruna! Makendou 2, Boxer is changed to Avra Yumeno and Belva Lina, both original creations, with the former being created for this ROM Hack. Jadoo and Avra's sprites were not cheap, and the other characters were given several newly drawn sprites overall.
Roll is a lethal joke character who is a one trick pony, Mai is a no brainer of a character choice with a relatively balanced moveset, Jadoo is given the Chibi Back Dash, can double jump and can cheese you with her Hundred Hand Slap and Headbutt, Emily can Air Dash and kill you from throws, Madonna is an insane combo character who can take you out quickly, Avra has high priority normals that do block damage, and Belva can use MvC2 Sentinel's flight with no transitions.
BSSF2: Glamor Queen had spawned a lot of playthroughs in its first couple of months when it was released. Many of the videos I saw would either use external cheats or spam the same moves over and over again, which to me is boring to watch. It also means that they don't take advantage of the other things that the characters have to offer.
Some features include:
-Fighter Replacements
-Charge Times Disabled, Air Specials
-Back Dashes (Emily and Madonna can also Forward Dash)
-Guard Cancels into Dashes that can be followed with Special Moves
-Easier Arcade Mode (CPU no longer damage cheats)
-New Moves, such as Zangief's Coconut Thunder and Sagat's Tiger Dive
-Getting hit out of Empty Jumps by non-knockdown attacks makes you drop down
-Stage Select in Arcade Mode
-Easy Death Combos
-Access Debug Menu by selecting Options, and holding the A or Mode Buttons
-Refill Lifebars and Time Limit in Versus Mode by holding both Players' Mode Buttons
-Random CPU Colors in Arcade Mode, by holding Mode button
-Switch to the character defeated with Down+A+B+C
-Switch to the same character with Up+A+B+C
-Activate V-ISM Normals/Belva/Nightmare Dictator with Back+X+Y+Z+B or Back+Y+Z+B+C
-Access Boss Rush by selecting Arcade and holding B
Play this ROM Hack if:
You want a SF2 ROM Hack that changes up the roster.
You like infinites or death combos that are extremely easy to do.
You like mechanics outside of what SF2 normally has to offer.
You want to end rounds in a few seconds from one correct read.
You like fighters where knowledge checks play a large role.
You like ROM Hacks that take advantage of unused data.
Don't play this ROM Hack if:
You like spamming projectiles or doing fireball traps.
You don't want ROM Hacks or fan games that teach you bad habits.
Random jank or bugs can get in the way of enjoying this.
You're looking for good character balance.
You primarily use Ryu or Ken. They get shut down in this ROM Hack.
You dislike Lolis and/or the heavy emphasis on panty shots.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/529834914570306831
A big takeaway here
>In addition, the same work that we are doing to support the Lenovo Legion Go S will improve compatibility with other handhelds. Ahead of Legion Go S shipping, we will be shipping a beta of SteamOS which should improve the experience on other handhelds, and users can download and test this themselves. And of course we'll continue adding support and improving the experience with future releases.
So they're now allowing users to download SteamOS directly, though it still sounds like it's a handheld-focused version of the OS.

At what point do you acknowledge a game series to be "dead"?
The main reason I bring this up is because I decided to do a quick look into the Darksiders series and see the people behind it because I was curious if I really "missed" anything having only playing the first and possible second game. And I found it interesting that Darksiders 3 effectively had nothing to do with the crew of the first two games. The "brains" of the series Joe Mad left to form Airship Syndicate and work on Battle Chasers and (More recently) Wayfinder, Timothy Bell was picked up by iD and has been working on the nuDoom games (That explains a lot), and several of the other studio leads bounced off to Sega, Microsoft, or Crytek. And while David Adams and a few other people have stuck around and are still working on the series, I don't remember anyone really being that impressed with the third game.
And this is what brings forward my question, because Darksiders isn't the only series to suffer from this. DMC is going to be handed off to a new team with the depature of Itsuno (After Kamiya and Mikami already left), Halo and Sonic have passed through the hands of several entirely different teams, all of the leading Final Fantasy crew have left ages ago to form Mistwalker or Monolith Soft, Ninja Gaiden is no longer even being developed by Tecmo, Atari is revived by the French after they killed it once already, Call of Duty has none of the original MoH team who have since gone on to work at Epic or EA, Street Fighter has almost nothing to do with it's original creators who have long since left the company to form Arika or shack up with SNK (Before ALSO leaving to form Dimps), and it just continues. I'm not saying any of the new guys are "incapable" of developing a good new game appropriate to whatever series they are working on. The problem I have is just wondering when people are going to let series just finally die out because of none of the people who made the games actually still working there. Start making new games against instead of constantly devoting everything to these legcy series that increasingly have nothing to do with their roots.

Visa and Mastercard have seemingly pressured Valve into changing its content policy; porn now under unspecified restrictions.
A new rule was added to Steam's publishing documentation.
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/onboarding
>15. Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.
There is actually a bill in Congress, with significant momentum (43 out of 100 senators co-sponsored. 50 needed to pass, 60 needed to get the vote to happen.), that would stop this shit. It has that momentum mostly because it's a general anti-debanking bill and after seeing Trump's bank drop him despite how fiduciaryily stupid it was Congress realizes they're going to be hit with it eventually.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/987
If you're an American you can call your legislative official and demand either (as applicable)
>they add their name to the co-sponsor
>it come to a vote
and that it be amended to strengthen the prohibitions on "payment card networks" as they're weaker than the other sections (only banning "political or reputational risk considerations", which could easily be construed either way on porn or guns, a weakness at odds with the introduction.).
Also tell them to oppose the following legislation
>S.1748 - Kids Online Safety Act
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1748/text
Basically the American version of the UK Online Safety Act and would force you to show ID to access adult content.
>S.1671 - Interstate Obscenity Definition Act
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1671
Removes First Amendment protection from porn by labeling it as "obscene" across the whole country.
To find your legislators
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
For calling, you want to have your name (ideally just give the NATO Phonetic alphabet spelling after it without prompting*.), zip code, return phone number, and the bill number (S401 for Senate or HR987 for House). I've been given conflicting claims on if the local office or DC office should be called, but as far as I can tell for just "support this bill" the best is whichever one has a human pick up the phone (an actual meeting is local office).
*Realizing I can just say the phonetic spelling unprompted after being asked for my name on any phone call (not just political calls) and not have to wait to be asked to spell it then awkwardly go back and forth for them to get my name correct makes it something I genuinely wish I had learned to do decades earlier.
...
Why the hell should
payment processors be setting moral standards?
Governments need to get these two under fucking control, money middle men should not have this kind of power.

Mafia: The Old Country came out today
Not sure if anyone has played it or is planning on playing it, but I wanted to make this thread to discuss this game since 2K basically just shit this game out without any marketing and treated it as a Mindseye rather than a game they had any faith in. It's a 13 hour-ish linear AA game that's currently on Steam for 50 dollars, and I'm quite interested in giving it a go. Reviews seem to range from 98 to 60, so as with Tranny Age, they're unreliable. If anyone ends up taking the bullet feel free to share your experiences with this game. Otherwise feel free to discuss the series here.

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.

Final Bosses in vidya
After beating a game with a very solid final fight, I was thinking about how much the last boss of a game can enrich or sour your opinion on the overall package, so I want to talk about good and bad final bosses.
Things that can make or break a final boss that are worth discussing are:
>Gameplay
Ideally a final boss is the truest test of your skills in the game (aside from Super Bosses in some RPGs), that push you to the edge and force you into using mechanics you may have ignored throughout most of your playthrough.
Ex:
<Isshin
<Sans
<Vergil
>Music/Presentation
Self-explanatory, a final boss can't feel special without memorable music or arenas to fight them in. Ex:
<Armstrong
<Gwyn
<Sephiroth
>Story
Depending on how much a game gives a shit about story, the final boss can be a cathartic or emotional capstone for the rest of the game. Ex:
<The Boss
<Nyx
Talk about final bosses you loved or hated and how they affected your overall opinion of the game they were in.

SMW ROMHACKS (and other romhacks I guess)
Any love for Super Mario World romhacks around these parts? It's my favorite Mario title and 2D platformer in general by far for the tight movement and fast gameplay, and romhacks have made this shine.
Here are some hacks I really enjoyed:
>Pic related
Pretty easy overall with the exception of a few secret levels but the game looks amazing. All the sprites are hand drawn and the music choice is nice. You've probably played it if you're ITT but if not do it.
>New Super Mario World 1: The Twelve Magic Orbs Powered-Up
Specifically the Powered-Up version as this is an update to an older hack. So many cool custom power ups in this remake and unique levels that take advantage of them. Long, but worth 100%ing. The final boss will make you cry (with frustration).
>Super Mario World: The Secret of the 7 Golden Statues
Another hack with cool custom power ups and some really tough levels. Some annoying areas but still a great hack overall.
>JUMP 1/2
Definitely the most creative hack out there that's not total nonsense. This game can be very difficult at times but each stage or couple of stages introduces a new gimmick. I dont want to give anything away, it's way more fun to work your way through this sadistic adventure yourself. 130 exits, many fun but many very challenging.
>Akogare
My own personal kaizo autism. Never finished it due to losing my save file but I completed around 30 exits and got some switch palaces too. Normally I was never down for kaizo but I tried Akogare and after I completed stage 1 I couldn't stop. The game is beautifully designed, and even when I was trolled by the dev I wasn't mad because I was having fun doing the stage anyway. Not for everyone, but a great personal challenge.
I could go on. But please Anons tell me about your love for romhacks and post your favorites as well.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
I hate the fairy type. I did ever since it was introduced, because it was strictly for gameplay balance reasons and Game freak never really succeeded in making the type feel natural compared to Dark or Steel. On top of that, it lessened the reward in raising slow-grower Dragon type pokemon. The investment and commitment they needed gave you a strong mon that was close to invincible but now some random can switch in her snubull and cancel your outrage domination.

Video Games from your childhood you can't find
Last thread I talked about a game I played as a kid I couldn't find, it was Magic Dream (Волшебный сон), a Russian kids game on CD from 1997 by Nikita Online.
How my father got his hands on this I have no idea, as I live super far from Russia.
https://1c.ru/vendors/nikita/MAGDREAM/MAGDREAM.HTM
I recently went around searching a game from my teens I played when I first got an Ipod Touch and was somehow able to find it despite modern search engines being mostly shit.
It's was 2009-2010 game called Destroy 9, by a sole gook Jongha Back, via his company NaomicSoft.
I can't even find gameplay footage of it anymore
https://apps.apple.com/fj/app/war-game-destroy-9/id550881679
It was a complete clusterfuck of a strategy action game where you produced and controlled units in real time in a 2D view with tons of SFX on screen.
The localization was so bad I don't even remember what the objective was.
There were like 6 versions of the same game as well with slight differences.
Just complete insanity to the point I thought it was a fever dream
The gook is still making games and his blogspot is still open,

Let's start a thread and share the results of our stories. I've been playing around with this and want to see what others can do with it.
This is a digital dm. It can run any campaign you give it
and it doesn't seem as restricted like other chat AIs. It goes along with some weird shit. Fantasy, modern day, sci fi. If you can think of it, it can do it if you give it some form of goal. I haven't played around with this part enough, but I assume you can make it stick to different rule sets or game mechanics if you explain it.
Fill out the top box with the rules and world building. it will generate a paragraph of setting and other characters. You can then tell it what you'll do next or just hit continue and it will keep the story going without your input (often creating actions on your part). If you don't like something, you can directly edit the story text. Just delete a few lines here and there or rewrite it yourself and it parses that text as it continues the story.
If you click generate template on the tracked info, it will keep a track of inventory, stats, character relationships and whatever else you want to write in there like a notepad.
Play a game. Post your story highlights in this thread.

Which video game story comes the closest to Aristotelian perfection?
By Aristotelian perfection, I mean which video game story comes the closest to meeting the standards for a perfect story Aristotle lays down in his Poetics? I've been thinking about this for a while, and the closest I can think of is Metal Gear Solid 1.
>It has a fairly solid unity of action. There are a few diversions, but most of the plot beats contribute directly to the main action of Snake stopping the terrorists
>It takes place in less than 24 hours
>It takes place in one location (Shadow Moses)
>the characters clearly express their thoughts through their words and actions
>Snake and Liquid are long lost relatives who are forced to fight each other by fate
>Even though Snake survives, the uncertainty of his fate due to Foxdie still provokes fear and pity in the audience (we know from later games that he lives, but I'm just talking about MGS1 as a self-contained story here)
>The game makes excellent use of spectacle, which Aristotle liked

RTS but Chill City Town builders
When I was a kid I loved spending hours building things in rts games but the problem is that these were always focused on war and not on economics or aesthetics.
there were not many options focused on decorating or a sandbox, it was limited by rounds, time or the campaigns or resources that are limited and not infinite.
I used to create beatiful cities in AoE singleplayer play and editor mode
I don't like Simcity bacause is too modern and less fantasy or medieval.
I still remember the era of flash games like this that were on facebook.
>Also
Is there any game that's a partially rts and city or town builder with fantasy or medieval features that is chill to play? something to see activity in the city or town or inside houses-craft-shops as if they were peasents from the settlers.
The closest games doing something like this I found was
>The Settlers
>Spellforce
>Cultures: The Discovery of Vinland
>Rise and Fall: Civilizations at war
>Stronghold
>Beasts and Bumpkins
>Black and white
>Knights and Merchants
>Heroes of Might and Magic

Fallout
You ever had a second playthrough change your opinion on a game? I just did. I realized 2 days ago I had never done a retard run of fallout 1, so I did. Fallout 1 is still an amazing game but all my other playthroughs had a tough beginning but easier endgame. This retard with a knife though was easily cutting through rad scorpions and raiders like it was nothing. It wasn't until later when I tried to fight supermutants that the problems started. Even then the knife wasn't really the problem, it was more about me getting 1 shot by gatling guns.
It did make me wonder about a lot of things. I do not think it is possible to beat the game 1st time as a retard. I have no idea how you would know without meta knowledge that the cathedral is where the master lives. It was also this playthrough that I found out that drugs can stack. You can take multiple mentats and just be a normal person until the drugs wear out. That does kinda go against the spirit of the playthrough but it did allow me to speak to Harold properly. You can also just take 2 rad-x and be immune to radiation. Would have been great to know before I lost an hour of progress to instant death radiation.
I am also amazed by how much dialogue they wrote for the low intelligence players. Some of it I assume was intended for players who were using drugs and got their intelligence lowered. Even then though I was seeing unique dialogue even up to the final boss. I was expecting a bit more of a speech from a man who just lost everything to a fucking idiot with a sledge and a rocket launcher but having anything is already good.
Now I am just wondering if I want to replay 1 again or should I try playing 2? I have tried 2 before and it never grips me like the first game does.

Not Enjoying Games Anymore?
This is sort of a meta thread, so feel free to remove it if it's the wrong place for this. Anyway, have you all ever become burnt out on video games? I've felt like recently no matter what I play, I just can't enjoy it. I get the initial enjoyment of starting the game that I've been thinking about for a very long time, but I just don't have the reason or motivation to care to see it through, and the more I force myself to continue the game, the more I hate it.
The last time I enjoyed a game was when I was playing through the MGS series. I racked up a list of things I wanted to play or replay because at that moment, I was solely focused on playing MGS. After I finished, I took a short break and decided I wanted to play DMC, since I tried it a long time ago and thought maybe I'd enjoy it on another attempt. I started out liking it, but slowly began to hate it, and eventually I dropped it. I went on to replay Nier after that because I remember very fondly those characters and wanted to check it out again, but didn't have the investment to see past the first few hours. Then a friend bought me Death Stranding, another game I disliked before, but decided I would give another go. After about 5 hours, I lost steam for it. I then tried to play Thief, a brand new game, and while I loved the game's atmosphere and think it's amazingly designed, I quit that one, too, because it just didn't spark anything in me. Now I've been fiending for a Sekiro replay after getting more into samurai films, and Sekiro is one of my favorites, but even now I feel like I'd rather be playing something else, like Ghost of Tsushima or Nier.
On the flip side, I played Shantae somewhere in between those games and was hooked, I loved it, and I'm replaying Morrowind right now because it's a game that's near to my heart and am similarly in love with it. I know I can like games, but for some reason, I just can't enjoy the ones I feel so interested in playing. There's just something missing from me that's not letting me enjoy new games. I've mostly just resigned to doing my other hobbies by now. It makes me very frustrated, though, like something's broken about me. It's as if I like the idea of playing these games than actually playing them. I want to like them, but I just can't.
Have you anons ever experienced this issue? How did you fix it?

Do you miss 1v1 invasions?
whenever I floated this around on halfcuck I got dogpiled by snoyndians, so I'm curious about what people's opinion actually is on this
originally Dark Souls, and moreso DS2, blew up specifically because of invasions, not in spite of them, but not only has Fromsoftware functionally removed invasions from the games since DS3 onwards, but now they're set to completely embrace retarded shit like seamless coop, which simply breaks DS3 and Elden Ring and makes them feel like you're grinding an MMORPG.
Nightreign is at least designed for coop, but what irks the most is the fact that they went out of their way to replace DS and DS2 with aesthetically inferior versions without invasions. You can't even buy the originals anymore.
invasions were such a big deal that other games were copying the concept, like DOOM:Eternal (sadly due to fucked up networking I don't think anyone has ever experienced it) but it feels like one day randomly people unanimously decided it's not fun anymore
excluding retarded takes like "but what about the 1/100000 minmaxer trolling newbies???" or "what if I get hanked?!?" am I insane for thinking this or do other people miss the concept as well?
I think it was much more genre-defining than their specific Action RPG formula
still can't believe you can go through all of ER and never see another player unless you summon 2 other guys, at least DS3 had invasion areas on launch, though I think they're gone now

Star Wars Galaxies
It's been a long time when I had to put thought into a thread, so bear with me.
>What is it?
For those who it bypassed, Star Wars Galaxies is an old sandbox MMO that many who played back then still hold near and dear to their hearts. Being able to multispec and do whatever you want, without being constrained in any fashion. Be a regular human, a Twi'lek slut, or a Rodian who's really into arguing race relations in every cantina.
>Isn't that game fucking dead?
Yes. Long dead. 2 decades. But because of reasons, it was brought back under several different server emus. Mainly Pre-CU to post, for those who have preferences. I don't know if the comments about it being leaked code were true, but fuck it, it's nice to have a choice.

How would you go about designing it? If I were to do it I'd change the combat system to have the player in the arena with the monster. forcing the player to doge attacks while drawing loops. maybe incorporating some twin-stick shooter elements, with the player firing projectiles to weaken the monster for capture.

Worst video game titles
We often hear about the worst video games of all time, but what about the worst video game titles of all time?
Starting off with two of the most obvious ones
>Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
That's pronounced "three hundred fifty eight over two". Yes, they want you to pronounce it "over" but didn't bother writing it as an over. It only "works" in Japanese because furigana can tell you its pronounced that way, but its dumb even there.
>Infinite Undiscovery
Either an "undiscovery" is "lost", which would mean total amnesia (even walking, potentially even breathing), or an "undiscovery" is "not a discovery", which means the name is saying everything within is nothing new.
(dis)honorable mention
>Idea no Hi
This one tries to make a English pun that does not actually work. The official name in "Day of the Idea" and 1: While "idea" in standard romanization, "イデア" isn't pronounced anything like the English "Idea" (as in thought) 2: "イデア" is a person, so the definite article here is just Engrish.

Metaphor: ReFantazio thread 9 months later
Metaphor: ReFantazio has sold 2 million worldwide after 9 months....
https://archive.ph/mOHaw
Now 2 million isn't bad I think most devs would, be very happy getting 2 million copies sold worldwide. But for an Altus game especially by the Katsura Hashino this is rather low. I'm gonna list why this game underwhelmed while being a technical success.
>Game was rushed
Due to being in a development for nearly a decade the game was clearly rushed in a lot of aspects.
>Six months was not nearly enough time for a story of this type
It needed a year as by the last parts of the game the plot is very rushed
>Companion arcs
Fell gutted and rushed.
>Partial romance
They made a system that pleased neither the waifu fags or anti waifu fags just a awkward half assed in-between.
>No real customisation of character gear or appearances
Like you just did skins and the same shit as P5 for gear.
>Archetypes are just Personas with a little bit more customisation
Yes it has much needed quality of life compared to the past games, but it's just more of the same.
>People are waiting for the full version
Because let's be real that's where the full game is.

>Q: How often should I long rest?
>A: Many companion and romance interactions occur when long resting. Some early lower priority camp scenes can also be missed if higher priority ones are queued. To advance companion quests or romances, make sure to long rest often.
>Q: Can I recruit Minthara without going down the evil path?
>A: If you knock her out in Act 1, yes. You do miss out on the sex scene, but otherwise the romance remains the same.
>Q: Underdark or Mountain Pass?
>A: Either, or both. It's recommended to clear both on higher difficulties for the experience and loot. Both connect to the same Act 2 map.
>Q: Is The Dark Urge essentially "Tav+"?
>A: Yes. You get additional content, BUT there are points where, if you've chosen to resist the Urge and/or don't complete quests the "right" way, you'll have to pass additional checks to avoid losing companions.
>Q: Are there any consequences to consuming tadpoles?
>A: No, for the most part. However if you've consumed any tadpoles, there will later be a DC 21 Wisdom check to reject the Astral-Touched Tadpole, which affects your appearance if consumed.
>Q: Should I enable Karmic Dice?
>A: Karmic Dice will avoid streaks of low rolls, both for you and the enemy. It is recommended to disable it if you're specializing.

MGSV is peak atmosphere and peak gaming
Look I've played them all (including MSX) and love them to bits. MGSV isn't even my favorite. But it is still one of my favorite gaming experiences.
I still believe it has some of the best and smoothest controls and is a true sandbox. What I mean by that is there are a lot of games that are technically sandboxes, but the level design of MGSV is an actual sandbox as in you can problem solve using every single tool in the game.
When it comes to the story I know it technically has a lot of flaws if you analyze it, but did someone else feel really emotionally attached to everything? It is a little strange that MGSV was a game that kind of made me feel a lot more emotions than a lot of full blown RPGs I've played with a lot of character development.

How do you beat a game?
What constitutes as one 'beating' a game? The answer isn't quite as simple as I'm making it sound.
Do you beat a game when you get to the credits after defeating the final boss or level? Or do you beat a game once you've gotten all the achievements? Maybe even more than that? Do you complete a game truly only when you've seen all the content the game has to offer? Or, at least, all the known content? If a game lacks achievements and is on rails, does it only count as beating that game if you did so on the highest difficulty available?

IKEMEN/Mugen
For eight (probably has been eight. Might be more. I don't remember.) years I've had this shitheap on my storage. I've recently upgraded my maintained 8mugen collection to IKEMEN, and I've thrown a shitload of characters into it over the years. Most, if not all, of the original 8mugen collection is still there. (Second pic is the original screenpack pic to jog your memory.) It's fifteen gigabytes and about 479 characters big.
This means sharing it will be a difficulty.
Only would be worth it if there's interest or any anons around who actually remember this shit. I changed the skin because there was no Ikemen compatible version. Picrel is a bit outdated as some characters that have black slots are bugged and needed fixing. Has a bunch of hidden/ai characters. Latter is completely or mostly unplayable (for humans.) Former is compressed into other characters. (gotta use the 'd' and 'w' keybinds set in the options menu on certain characters to access them. Like Goku. Neat Ikemen feature.)
Also, IKEMEN/Mugen thread I guess.
Quick FAQ
<OP Install specific
>Is [Character] in your install?
I dunno. Flip a coin. It's 479 characters. There's 21 slots left so there is space for more. But it's already fucking 15 gigabytes. Technically infinite AI-only slots and multi-character slots. But they're all bound to one character. So Saber has Saber and Saber Alter bound to her, for instance.
>Why the fuck is [Character] and not [Character] in your install?!
If it's a matter of taste, I don't give a shit. If you want to include a certain roster, feel free. If lots of additions are made I'll upgrade the screen to 704 characters.
If certain characters are shittier than others, suggest/add the better versions to replace the old ones.
>Does everything work?
Good question. Most characters, yes. Most stages, yes. There are numerous characters with small bugs that require text file changes to fix. I'm not even aware of them all.
>Why share this if you don't have a link for it?
Fifteen gigabytes. My upload speed is dogshit so I'm not going to upload it if no anons give a shit. It will take all day for me to upload.
>Why now?
With this burst of activity, maybe someone will remember and will want to continue.
>Could we shit out our own Saltybet?
If I remember correctly, this was originally an attempt at doing so.
>Multiplayer?
Yes. Gotta use the same version of the game. I'm not privy to the details, but the same characters/stages are likely what needs to match.
For update purposes I have a file structure going on inside the chars directory, separating up characters. No real rhyme or reason to this- but typically it terminates at 2.5 gigs or >50 characters. Whichever comes first.
<General
>What is MUGEN?
MUGEN is a freeware proprietary 2d fighting game engine developed by Elecbyte. The engine is written in C and uses the SDL Library, and stages, characters, screenpacks, life bars, and even engine modifications have been made by the community. Although full games have been made in MUGEN, the engine has been widely used to make one's dream fighting game roster and make cartoons fight anime and shit like that. Most "recent" version is 1.1b.
http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/download-mugen-latest-release-1-1-official-release-8613-105841.0.html
If you've ever seen a shitty youtube clip of Peter Griffin beating the shit out of Mario in a fighting game setting, it was probably MUGEN.
>What about online multiplayer?
Although base MUGEN does not have online multiplayer, a fork of MUGEN called IKEMEN has implemented online multiplayer. (Both players have to have the same IKEMEN full game for online to work properly)
>What is IKEMEN?
IKEMEN is basically the same thing as MUGEN but built newer/open source. Use IKEMEN GO. It's a continuation of ol' Ikemen.
>Cool, how do I set it up?
There are thousands of guides on the internet on how to manually add characters, stages, and screenpacks (drag character folders into 'chars' folder, stage files into 'stages' folder ,screenpack files/folder into 'data' folder, etc.; then edit select.def), but if you want it to be done a bit easier, then use Vselect.
>Does [Character] exist?
Probably. Many, including most niche, anime characters are tiny sprite shitfests (called JUS for easy identification) because that's easy to draw. Gotta use your search engine skills for this one.
>Links?

Overated Videogames (?
I've had a friend always telling me how Hollow Knight is the best possible Metroidvania out there when it's the only one he's ever played. Funnily enough, he disregards the genre defining franchises (Metroid and Castlevania) as "probably much worse" without having even seen gameplay of it, which is pretty annoying. I've played some of Metroid and Castlevania to know a bit about the genre and I've at least seen Hollow Knight gameplays and all I see is a Metroidvania knock-off with pattern-heavy bosses and the difficulty cranked up to Soulslike trial and error style. I can see how that's sort of "unique" but I don't see how that makes it a prime Metroidvania experience, would you agree with him on it being the best possible Metroidvania there is lol? Am I missing something? He also uses this fallacy of it being super popular so you know it's super good, but the thing that stuck with me the most is how he glorified the fucking double jump as such a special and unique mechanic, some bullshit about how it was programmed magnificently and how it had an excellent feel to it, when it's literally something almost every action game has. Makes you wonder if he's glorifying many more subtle aspects of the game. How do you call this behaviour? Do you have any more examples of this phenomena?

When does "retro" end?
Are the PSP and DS "retro"? Are 360/PS3/Wii? I-mode phones? N-Gage?
I think the Wii and early 360's lack of support for HDMI is a point in favor of those (first two years of games in 360's case, since I think everything after that put zero effort into making sub 720p being readable) being "retro". Some modern TV have started dropping support for these, so its non-trivial to play them.

Open Battoru!
>What is Open Battoru?
Open Battoru
is an online Beta Client of the TCG version of Wixoss Diva Format.
>What is Wixoss?
Wixoss is a TCG multimedia franchise produced by Takara Tomy around 2014 d by Takara Tomy, J.C.Staff, and Warner Bros. Japan. With various Anime, Manga, and other sorts
of media about the eponymous card game. The main appeal of this game is make decks based on cute girls with a few monster girls here and there.
>What is it about?
It's a card battle game where the selector (player) battles with a LRIG, basically a commander styled unit that you upgrade every
turn you attack in order to deal damage.
The Franchise revolves around they players, referred to as selectors play the titular card game, Wixoss in universe in order to have their wishes granted.
LRIG's are the avatars ||Made from players that have their wishes granted.|| they use to help selectors compete against other selectors.
Selectors that lose enough in the persuit of their wishes can never have it granted or achieved in their lives again. The winner
||Get's possesed by their LRIG and their soul made into a LRIG as the now possessed girl carries out their wishes in their sted.||

https://www.wixosstcg.eu/Articles/20/Wixoss_First_Steps
>Any more info on the game?
It's resource system is similar to Duel Master/Magic The Gathering where you use cards in your hands as land
to pay for effects, pay cost, activate abilities, etc but unlike Duel Masters you sent your resources to the Trash
as opposed to restanding them as opposed to tapping/untapping them every turn. The main draw is building your deck based on your
LRIG which is the commander of your deck.
You have to create your own username and password, thankfully no email or other private information is required beyond that.
You can Save your own replays and share them if you like.

Microsoft continues Xbox layoffs/Everwild has been cancelled
The rumors are true, Xbox is laying off around 9 thousand people today from the Xbox team from multiple studios. More specifically they're laying off people within Activision and Bethesda. Additionally because of these cuts, the Rare title Everwild that was announced in 2019 has been cancelled.
Here's Phil's letter to staff
>Today we are sharing decisions that will impact colleagues across our organization. To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft’s lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness. Out of respect for those impacted today, the specifics of today’s notifications and any organizational shifts will be shared by your team leaders in the coming days.
>I recognize that these changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before. Our platform, hardware, and game roadmap have never looked stronger. The success we're seeing currently is based on tough decisions we've made previously. We must make choices now for continued success in future years and a key part of that strategy is the discipline to prioritize the strongest opportunities. We will protect what is thriving and concentrate effort on areas with the greatest potential, while delivering on the expectations the company has for our business. This focused approach means we can deliver exceptional games and experiences for players for generations to come.
>Prioritizing our opportunities is essential, but that does not lessen the significance of this moment. Simply put, we would not be where we are today without the time, energy, and creativity of those whose roles are impacted. These decisions are not a reflection of the talent, creativity, and dedication of the people involved. Our momentum is not accidental—it is the result of years of dedicated effort from our teams.
>HR is working directly with impacted employees to provide severance plan benefits (aligned with local laws), including pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement resources to support their transition. Employees whose roles were eliminated are encouraged to explore open positions across Microsoft Gaming, where their applications will be given priority review.
>Thank you to everyone who has shaped our culture, our products, and our community. We will move forward with deep appreciation and respect for all who have contributed to this journey.
>Phil
Personally while I have no love for Xbox, this comes during a time where it's literally impossible to find work in the video games industry. Personally, I'd like for the entire Xbox executive team to be replaced by people who actually care about games, have games industry experience, and actually know how to run a business, although that would actually require Nadella to stop focusing on AI and try to make an actually good product.

Modern UI design is soulless, difficult, and homogeneous. Why?
Not just a video games issue, but it's the medium that's taken it the worst.
Attached are the new, actual UIs for the upcoming titles Marathon and Borderlands 4. This shit is inexcusably bad.
Marathon's menus look like programmer art for a game that is supposedly coming out this year. This is likely in line with nu-Marathon's art style of simplistic bright colors. I don't think that excuses it looking like shit, though. Halo Reach, another one of Bungie's games, had minimalist UI design that looked gorgeous and fit well with the aesthetic of the games.
Borderlands was never a star in user interface, but their new attempt is disgusting, and many people have called it out for poorly copying Destiny. Compare this to it's previous titles. Borderlands 1 has a stylized, albeit cluttered menu. Borderlands 2 keeps the style but makes it cleaner, easier to read, and diegetic. Borderlands 3 makes it too clean, but keeps it diegetic and usable. The menu in Borderlands 4 is disgusting. It's incredibly generic, it turns the stats into mysterious icons, turns the gun selection into a radial menu (???) and overall does not fit stylistically.

Raceist thread
What racing game are you playing?
recently played Cruis'n World on the MAME emulator. I put a lot of quarters in this arcade game as a kid, but I never beaten it until now.
No joke, the game literally ends in outer space with Bill Clinton in a jacuzzi surrounded by two bitches. One of those bitches is Hillary Clinton in a bikini.

Loli games
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?

Xenoblade Thread: You will know that Xenoblade X leaked
Wanted to make a quick thread considering that Xenoblade X just leaked out and that Xenoblade 4 is an inevitability considering how successful the series was on the OG Switch. I do wonder how they'll approach the series going forward and if they'll just build on top of Xenoblade X instead of the Klaus trilogy. Perhaps we'll get Xenoblade X2 rather than Xenoblade 4 all things considered. Either way I've heavily enjoyed this series and look forward to see where Nintendo and Monolith Soft take this series. Especially now where we've reached a point where the story of Klaus is basically finished and that the series will basically have to do what the original Xenoblade did. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Let's make room for an Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban for the real ones) thread. With that said, what is there to discuss? The last official new release was almost 8 years ago.

Is VR still a fucking meme?
Was looking at rowing machines and thought of it but what I can find is subscription fuckery. I'd rather just get a screenless rowing machine and sit in front of my actual TV playing water or not.
Would also be nice to have a racing game newer than Gran Turismo 3 to go with my racing wheel. Heard Forza took over in that area but what I saw was driving full speed through obstacles with no consequences.
Both of these seem prime VR candidates.

Dragon's Dogma Online
Dragon's Dogma Online was a free to play MMO, it played a lot like DDDA but with some changes and limitations expected from a MMO meant to run on the PS3, but there was still a lot to see and do in this game, plenty of content, enemy variety, vocations, etc.
Dragon's Dogma Online was shut down a long time ago but there's an ongoing restoration effort and a lot of progress has been achieved in the last months, the game is playable and a lot of quests and features have been restored, however there's still a significant amount of things to restore, despite that there's enough content here to keep you busy for months.
Currently there's 2 private servers one can play on, ddon.org and dogmarising.org, for the most part dogmarising.org will offer you a better and smoother experience but ddon.org does have a bit more people.

Fuga Melodies of Steel 3: The Motherfuger
This place had a thread for the first and second game, why not the game that ties it all together?
First game was piss easy but nailed it's audiovisual presentation, the second game made good improvements gameplay/difficulty wise while making some mixed with it's narrative at the same time by actually focusing on a character and putting some rails. Third game should be able to bypass these issues as the finale and no longer having to pave the way for future entries, but I've only seen diehard fans talk about it so far.
I'd have posted a thread earlier but I really wanted a physical edition of all three games and I still have to wait until the niggers running the postal service deliver.

Most talked about moral choice.
Help me /v/. I was remembering this one moral choice from saints row 4. I thought it was funny how people would seriously debate this. However my joy turned to despair as I realized, I cannot think of a moral choice that was more talked about.
No seriously, Think about it. People were arguing this quite passionately. It bothers me as I am 99% sure this was just a gag to make fun of moral choices in games. It should not be the most talked about one.

Seeking for some geimu suggestion and small review of it
I'm trying to find some geimus on my own through using Google and the Steam store page and then downloading it afterwards with QBittorrent and then setting it all up with Lutris and Proton wine, and praying to Gayben that it doesn't run like shit. I'm primarily interested in FPS and RPG games. For RPG games I'd would like to have the ability to use a bow and a sword basically and not being limited to only 1 weapon type like how it is common with other RPG games. I am a casual pleb player, so I am not exactly seeking for a challenge. I just want to kill shit and seeing numbers go up. I don't except from anons to make KC tier review post but at least give me some short description of a geimu if its at least fun to play or not. By fun I mean it doesn't contain bullshit mechanic that would piss me off, I don't have patience anymore for games that punishes the player too hard for not gitting gud enough, I'm too old for this shit.
So far one of the pirated games I played a lot recently is "My Times at Sandrock" I don't know how to exactly describe it but its well a open world game with crafting system and it's made in piece of shit unity engine but at least it is performant and doesn't lag too much apart from that sometimes it takes ages for assets and menu to load because god knows why. I am not really happy with this game because despite there is combat in this game the only weapons I can access right now are melee weapons which are like at least 4 base variants available as well a upgraded form of it, there is not even at least a fucking bow or crossbows weapon available, there are ranged weapons in this game like pistols and even a assault rifle but they are locked behind some fucking quests which is not open to me yet so I am stuck with this sword and shield combo which pisses me off. I have almost 60 hours in it already in this game according to Lutris.
I installed some mods for this game to make it slightly less annoying to play such as extended day time, machine production speed, because those coders had the brilliant idea to tie machine speed to the day time speed and no commission limit so that I can do more than one commissions in this game.
<Wigmund
I pirated this game but didn't played it for long, I fiddled around with the settings of this game because I'm left handed I always need to change the key binding of games. Anyway so far the performance is not so bad but the way the gameplay works in this game is kinda ass, for example it is not exactly obvious what is interactable or lootable due to lack of any visible hints and clicking on interactable objects feels like it suffers pixel hunting issue, so this game is already a big minus for me. Then I got into combat against a few wolves and died, I noticed too late I didn't made any recent save and then quit because I'm not even told that I need to do regular saves because I cannot be resurrected in this game at all. So far the game doesn't look fun to play.
<Ancient Kingdom
I played it for only over 1 hour on it and not more. It's a 2D RPG game with a few classes to play as, so I picked the ranger class because it can use bows and swords, just what I wanted. There isn't that many ability to grind for which is a let down, I can't really tell how this games fares in later stage because I didn't leveled up much. I once got my ass kicked by the skeleton boss because I was doing a quest for gathering some flowers and since the skeletons where slightly higher level then me but I could kite them more or less easy I thought I could defeat the first boss but nope I couldn't do it. For some reason the sword weapon does barely any damage compared to the bow I have, yes there is a ability that lets me use a powerful sword attack but it comes with a long 5 second cool down timer which is not really ideal. I may play this game more but if it turns out that its not fun to play I will gladly drop it.
<Oblivion remastered
Honestly I didn't had much hope for this UE 5 engine shit slop to run well on my machine, I have to turn down the graphics settings to medium and lowering other settings so that I sort of get at least 50-60 FPS frames, I don't even get a stable 60 FPS from this game. I am not really impressed by this remaster, the main reason its just more of the same exact shit like OG Oblivion just slapped down with the piece of shit UE 5 engine. I played of this game for about 31 hours but I ended up playing the OG oblivion for at least over 88 hours instead because it runs well and it has tons of mods for me to install. So the verdict is that I don't want to play this remaster any more and I'd just play OG oblivion instead.
<Unreal Tournament 1999 and 2004
Classic Arena Shooter games, I own for the 2004 version a legit german copy which I installed a Blood patch for it already long time ago. I play those games from time to time against bots because its just a simple shooting fun with no dumb shit in it. I play both of those release but I have no preferences for either of these, I like them both. I don't mind having to play against bots as long the bots are not dumb as a brick and they do give me some challenge. But i always end up winning like 100% of the matches because I didn't set the difficulty to any higher. I would love to make some weapon mods for those games but I have no idea how the fuck I am supposed to learn Unreal Script. Man that was back in the time when Epic Games was based and not full of shit.
<Gedonia
I didn't played much of this game because I got stuck with having to fuck around with Lutris settings because as soon the game loads the main menu it runs like shit and even ingame it runs like shit for me. I can't really give a more elaborate explanation of this game because of the performance issue. I will give it a try again later and see if I can get the performance issue resolved and then write more about this game and then make a post if its fun or just another unity engine slop.
<Erenshor
Another unity engine slop shit with untextured low poly hipster shit style. So right within the first 5 minutes I had issues with the camera control turning so god awful slow and for some stupid reason the player movement is as fast as sonic which is not what I'd except out of a RPG game. Just alone the art style of this game is fucking terrible. And the way quest interaction works with this game is a big no for me, like instead of just giving me a list of options of what I can do with a NPC the game excepts me to write down the keywords to interact with the NPC, so that means I would have no fucking clue what the fuck I am supposed to write just to progress further in the dialog. This is complete bullshit.
<Hammerwatch II
A 2D RPG game. I played this game for almost 2 hours and it looks alright. The combat system is pretty nice, I can use both bows and swords and there are quite a lot of enemies for a RPG game to kill. But I have some issues with navigation. The game doesn't provide any means for me to figure out where the fuck I am supposed to go, yes I know I am supposed to read the quest log and find my way that way but it doesn't even come with a proper radar/map system which means it is going for me to be hard to figure out where I am supposed to haul my ass at and then going to the next destination point. On Morrowind I often could finish quests more or less because Morrowind does this no quest tracker at least properly, but this game? Man I am getting lost. For example I have a quest where I am supposed to use a red dye to mark down signs because of wolves and so far I managed to mark down only 2 or 3 sign posts and I couldn't find the other signs that I need to interact with for this quest, because I am not given any fucking map so that I have some clues where I am supposed to go next.
<Coromon
I played this game for 4 hours. It plays like a classic Pokemon clone game despite instead of pokeballs you have a disc with retractable poles or however they are called. It offers some few game play options which lets me fine tune the game more so thats already a plus for me. Though the game does feels a little bit too grindy for my taste, I'm trying to level up my fire monster which is around level 12 or 14 I forget to at least level 20 so that my fire monster can 1-2 shot other low level shitters. Though for being a turn based 2D monster collection game, it comes also with the annoying random encounters shit. I don't mind random encounters but I fucking hate it when it comes in the form of "move around in a spot and you get a encounter" that tends to plague RPG games like these because those fucking game developer couldn't program in a much smoother random encounter system.

The Last of Us Season 2: Electric Trannygaloo: The Movie: The Thread
The review embargo just lifted for this wonderful series which I know is near and dear to the hearts of many a /v/irgin, so I am making this thread so we can discuss how the TV adaptation of our favorite video game is going!
To start off, here are a few noteworthy articles
>'The Last of Us' Season 2 Review: Somehow, the Best Video Game Adaptation Ever Only Got Better
https://archive.ph/udHG4#selection-1005.0-1005.94
<While the first game is a fairly straightforward narrative that made perfect sense for an adaptation, the second game, The Last of Us: Part II, is a story that felt like it couldn’t exist with the same power in another medium. There are years of flashbacks, multiple changing viewpoints, and some of the most tragic and difficult losses you’ve ever had to reckon with in a video game. It should be a logistical nightmare for any TV series, and yet, with Season 2, Mazin and Druckmann prove once again why HBO's The Last of Us is the strongest video game adaptation ever. At times, the show might deviate from the path, but it all works, even heightening and improving a phenomenal season of television that does justice to arguably the best story in video game history.
>Pedro Pascal Wasn’t Allowed To Play ‘The Last of Us’ Video Game
https://archive.ph/irHu5#selection-1005.0-1005.63
<During a video interview prior to the release of The Last of Us, Pascal confessed that while showrunner Craig Mazin asked for his leading actors not to play the game, he picked up the controller anyway. "My nephews were watching me play and eventually got tired of my inability to complete the level, so they took my controller from me," Pascal told IGN during the video interview. "But then we started shooting the show and living in the world ourselves!"
Go ahead and post about this
shitshow's progress and what your hopes/expectations are, then discuss it in full once it releases! Maybe we'll even get a little /v/-style watch party going? It'll be just like the good old days of watching Gone Home gameplay!!!!!!!!

PC Games of the last two decades (2010-2025)
Hey, you /v/iewtiful people, I've been extremely out of the loop for the past few years of PC gaming, but going back to some titles I had on my bucket list I realized that I barely had anything worthwhile to play, buy or pirate. I would really like to be reccommended some of the best or most unique PC games that have come out not just the last few years, but in general since the 2010s (about the time I stopped having a lot of time to play games that weren't portable or emulated stuff or "eternal games" a la TF2).
More specifically, I'm asking about games that are first and foremost for the PC (so not ports of console games, unless there's a big reason think Sonic Adventure 1-2 with the modding scene), whether they're just indie games or big budget studios is irrelevant to me so long as they're good'uns. I tend to stray away from live service crap because I just hate FOMO, so I'd much rather appreciate it if the suggestions are titles that don't require a centralized infrastructure to run (unless someone reverse engineered it and custom servers are allowed).

any TTRPG players (D&D, idk) with an open spot in their group?
I've been wanting to do this forever but never got a chance to.
Every time I think I hit the jackpot and I'm finally gonna have this sort of fun everyone else seems to have so easily, it just never goes nowhere because the other people's hearts aren't really into it
For instance, everyone's online but when I ping them it's some bullshit like "uhh I'm VCing with a friend" or "I'm drinking water" or "I'm walking my pet fishes"
trying to set up a date and time results in silence. It's frustrating.
I tried going into a discord for it, but the people there were politics-obsessed faggots so that didn't go nicely either
I don't mind weird shit in the game, I just wanna play. Everyone else has so many *crazy* TTRPG stories.. help a guy out? I don't know how any of this works but I'd like to try and do my best.

2025 AAA Gaming Crash
I predict a gaming crash will happen as a result of the failure of GTA 6.
There's not enough consoles out there to support it's sales on a very bloated budget, so it will flop.
I think we will see a ripple effect in the AAA gaming industry, maybe even a crash.
What do you guys think?
The best counter-argument I've seen is that they will make more off of microtransactions in VI's online, but I'm not sure if people will even want to switch from GTA:O.

Vidya based dreams
Have you ever had any dreams based on vidya, anon? Existing games or otherwise. I'll start with one I had a while ago:
>Some sort of custom map, the part I'm in is some sort of long, blue, hexagonal tube with the bottom cut out and leaving a black abyss serving as a killzone, two white platforms lining either side (one above and one below), with doorways giving access for red on one side, and blu on the other (though the distance can be explosive jumped, but not scout doublejumped)
>I am on BLU, playing soldier, on my side of the tube
>Two RED soldiers are on the opposite side
>rocket jumping around, hitting each other uselessly with their melees, exchanging voice lines, typical TF2 interactions
>I whip out the righteous bison and start taking potshots
>miss because it's the bison
>one of the soldiers turns right towards me after my first shot misses, effortlessly steps out of the way of subsequent shots because again, it's the bison
>actually intentionally steps back in front of my last two shots before I have to stop to reload, does the schadenfreude taunt, pain sounds interrupt the audio portion of it
>he whips out his own righteous bison
>we start blasting away at each other
>neither of us can hit the other
>other red soldier whips out his own bison and joins in
>he can't hit anything either
>the other players all start swapping to soldier and equipping the bison
>start flooding into their respective halves of the tube
>in a short time all 32 players on either team are spamming bison shots
>projectiles flying everywhere, with crits mixed in as well
>nobody can hit shit
I don't think I've ever had a weapon I was so bad with that I actually had a dream based on it.

Frontends that don't suck like Launchbox does
Why is there not a good one? I like being able to sit on my couch and scroll through all my games, looking at the covers. I do kinda like the ability to look at the back of the box, the spine, and the cart/disc art, too, but those things aren't as important. So all I want is a program that lets me do that, lets me sort my games autistically (you'd think the autists that make these things would understand the want for autistic sorting). Why can't I find one that just lets me make subfolders? I've searched online and found people legitimately just telling me to use Windows Explorer. Like yeah, I can make subfolders in that. But it sucks to use it with a controller on the couch, and doesn't look as nice. So why can't I make subfolders in Launchbox? All I want to do is...
>sort all games alphabetically
>but games within a series should all be in a subfolder together, and inside that subfolder, be sorted by release date. So actually I want all series sorted alphabetically, with different sorting inside the subfolders. (Launchbox Almost lets me do this. I can sort by series, and have one "series" that is "all games," but that's it.)
>but within a series subfolder, I want to be able to make further subfolders. I want to group together ports of the same game, for example. When looking through the Sonic folder, I want Sonic 2 for Master System and Sonic 2 for Game Gear to be in the same subfolder.
>and I might want another subfolder within that subfolder, because maybe I want to put different translations or romhacks or something together.
>ideally, let me put custom art on each subfolder, or just show the art of the first thing in the folder, but with some sort of indication that it's a folder and not the game. Make the folders look nice, is my point.
And oh yeah, I want a frontend that doesn't melt my fucking computer when I try to scroll through a list of like ten thousand games. The whole reason I want this is so I can look at boxart of every game ever made, or at least all the ones to come out on carts, since they take so little space by today's standards. Obviously low hardware usage should be top priority for a program that is ultimately this frivolous. I want to use all my hardware on the actual game.
I've been using Launchbox, and have used EmulationStation before, but they both kinda suck balls. I've looked into others, but they all seem very similar, with the only difference being that others are even more of a pain in the ass to set up. They have so many useless features, but don't such basic, obvious things. Just let me look at boxart and sort it how I want. Why is that so hard? If they let me use layers of subfolders, it would limit how many jpegs need to be loaded at the same time, so it would presumably make it faster, since somehow that's a problem on Launchbox.
I do not care about things like playing videos or demos. I don't even care about custom themes. I don't need any extra features like that. I just want to scroll through tons of boxart until I see one that makes me want to play the game. I just want to feel like I'm at Blockbuster in the '90s, but a Blockbuster that I can sort how I want, because it has too many games and thus needs to be sorted properly. Why is this so hard?
You know what else is gay? That I can't just click a button and be taken to a website with the game's manual(s). Ideally I would save all the manuals locally, but that would take too much storage for the amount of games I want. But I know there are websites with tons and tons of manuals. Let me click and be taken right to the manual.

Persona 4 Remake confirmed
And the old voice actors have been replaced.
>A potential remake of Persona 4 Golden (or maybe even just vanilla Persona 4) has been rumoured for quite a while now, but it seems as though one of the original's voice actors has confirmed its existence.
>Speaking on social media, Yuri Lowenthal, voice actor for Persona 4's Yosuke Hanamura, stated that he expressed a desire to return as the character for the remake, but unfortunately confirmed that Atlus apparently doesn't want him back.
His deleted tweet
<"And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don’t want me to come back."
>Aside from the frankly bizarre decision to recast the role of Yosuke, Lowenthal's statement is the surest sign yet that a Persona 4 remake is on the way. Switch fans sadly missed out on the excellent Persona 3 Reload when it launched in 2024, but with the Switch 2 right around the corner, we reckon a port of Reload and a release of Persona 4 remake is practically inevitable.
>Persona 4 Golden, the PS Vita revamp of the original game, made its way to the Nintendo Switch in 2023 after years of requests from staunch fans. It was also joined by Persona 3 Portable and Persona 5 Royal. The series stands as one of the most accomplished in the JRPG genre thanks to its effortlessly cool style and deep social mechanics.

XSeed: "Senran Kagura Would not Prosper in the West in This Day and Age"
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.

The Legend of Zelda Thread
It's amazing how this game did everything right
>Amazing dungeons
>Good dungeon themes
>Balanced difficulty. Neither too hard or too easy
>Good story without being intrusive
>0 filler in-between dungeons
>Perfect amount of exploration
Almost every 3d Zelda game that followed Ocarina has floundered one of these things in some way. Be it Majora's Mask's obnoxious filler and lack of meaningful content, Wind Waker's terrible filler and horrible piss easy dungeons, or twilight princess and skyward sword's atrocious filler and invasive stories.
Can you even say the classic formula was overdone when no game outside of master quest actually bothered to improve or build upon it in a positive fashion?
Seriously, I've replayed this game over twenty times not including master quest or randomizers and I've never gotten bored of it. Meanwhile, I try to replay Twilight Princess or Majora's Mask and I drop them whenever I'm faced with tedious filler.

Video game genres that you dislike and why.
I dislike soulsbourne games because the core aspect of the game actually isn't even difficult, it's just tedium that extends the games run time. For example if I die to a boss or mob and the nearest bonfire I last used was 100 meters away I have to trek the distance all the way back to get my experience and/or kill the enemy that last killed me. What did I learn while treking those 100 meters? More importantly what makes running that far actually difficult? Nothing. You are just being punished with time wasting tedium and going against enemies you had no problem dispatching up to that point. I understand wanting to have a game that is difficult but the core aspect of this genre just isn't. I also don't see the point of simulators. Specifically games like the sims. I don't see the appeal of watching your character do things instead of actually doing them.

Video Game Translation: Where do you do find hackers?
With machine translation getting stronger (although they will always be inferior to being actually translated by an expert), the only obstacle is actually finding someone to hack the game, rip the text for the translator and properly insert the translated text into a patch.
Where do translator find such people and how do they convince them to work on the game? Do they pay them, are they friends or acquaintances with them or is it hoping that they are interested in the game and turn it into a passion project?

Posting the best Kirby game
Just finished a replay of Kirby: Planet Robobot and I need to scream into the void that this game SLAPS. HAL really said “what if we made Return to Dream Land but injected it with mech suits, cyberpunk vibes, and a soundtrack that kicks your teeth in,” and it WORKED.
The robot armor isn’t just a gimmick — it changes based on your copy ability, and every single one feels like a power trip. Jet mode? You're flying through a shmup level. Spark mode? You become a walking Tesla coil of death. The pacing is tight, the level design is clever, and the amount of polish is absurd. Also shoutout to that final boss theme that ascends directly into the heavens and takes your soul with it.
And the lore? Oh buddy. It's Kirby, so naturally the last hour goes from “haha cute pink ball go brr” to “AI god assimilates a planet and becomes cosmic malware.” Peak.
I love Forgotten Land, but Robobot might still be peak 2D Kirby. HAL needs to stop playing and port this thing to Switch already.
Anyone else think this is the most underrated Kirby?

Vidya Cheesecake
Before anyone says anything, THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO RAG ON RAZORFAG! I'm just using his post as an example because there seems to be this increasing narrative that vidya is not "allowed" to have any sort of cheesecake or fanservice in the title. And any game that "does" have this content "must" be a shit game by default.
Now personally, I disagree with this take. If a game is good, what exactly is the problem with including fanservice in the title? We're all adults so there shouldn't be an issue. And even then, what exactly is wrong with a game being fanservice focused? Take for example, DoA Xtreme. It's a shameless mini-game collection only designed to unlock new bikinis for the girls, but what's the problem with that as long as you're having fun with the mini-games and basically playing the "male equivalent" of a dollhouse sim. My bigger issue is that it seems like attempts to remove fanservice from games correlates almost with the "same time" game quality took a nose dive.
Now does this mean that "all fanservice" is good. No, of course not. One infamous game guilty of trying to sell itself solely on cheesecake was BMX XXX, and it failed horribly as the game itself was terrible. However is it "wrong" for a game to not include fanservice in some form? I would have to answer yes.
But what do you guys think? What's your takes on cheesecake and fanservice in vidya?

Difficulty sliders/modes hate thread
I fucking loathe difficulty sliders. They are constantly used by inferior developers with no balls to make casual experiences that can adapt to the widest possible crowd, and to easily avoid actually balancing and properly, carefully designing all scenarios around the game.
It shouldn't be up to player to choose difficulty. At most, the player should choose an harder special condition mode like Ironman, limited saves, survival mechanics/bars or 1 hit kill runs, but the idea that the game design should be compromised by modifiers into adapting to the player is utter shite.
It's the player that should adapt to the game design to progress through the game, but cowardly developers.
It even ruins the day to those players who aren't retards when the hardest mode is some trash mode with super tanky enemies because it's usually very hard to find the "intended" difficulty mode agreed upon to be what the developers designed he game around.

Gauntlet
I have been playing a lot of Gauntlet:dark legacy lately and have been having a lot of fun. I think this game is the most "Gamey" out of all of them. The only other games that would be as gamey would be old arcade games that didn't even pretend to have a story. It is simple yes but it is still a joy to explore the levels. I also just love the presentation of it all. The booming voice of the old wizard makes for a great announcer, all the characters are just fantasy stereotypes taken to an extreme. I would complain about the slowdown in the hub but I have no idea if that is on the original gamecube or if its just my emulator acting up.
It is making me wonder why they dont make another gauntlet game. Then I remember that there was one back in 2014 but no one gives a shit about it. Probably wont make a sequel to that either, Arrowhead is much too busy with helldivers. How come buying the bundle is cheaper than buying gauntlet separately?

Super Mario Peakshine
People hate it because they were filtered by it. Anyone who actually understood what 64 was going for knows Sunshine is the perfect sequel.
No, 64 was not intended to be a collectathon. The focus of 64 was always the missions. There's a few times in 64 where you can see levels changing in-between missions. For example, Womp's fortress and Bob omb battlefield. Sunshine builds upon this and has levels change with each mission thus giving the sandbox more variety and allowing missions to truly prosper.
In turn you lose the freedom of 64, but that freedom was never intentional. Doing missions in any order you want was never the intention behind 64. It was a technical limitation.
Sunshine has much more interesting missions in general in comparison to 64. There's much less repetitive ",go kill this amount of enemies" "go find five secrets"
You have a Zelda dungeon inspired hotel level
Rolling watermelons on beaches
Climbing an ancient mountain and solving a few puzzles along the way
Giving chain chomps a bath
Fighting Bowser on a roller coaster
You then have the secret levels which act like the Bowser levels in 64 and challenge your skills.
Compare Sunshine to Super Mario Odyssey which is supposedly better. Which game has the more meaningful missions? Which game has actual challenging platforming?

2d animated games
No pixel art. I am sick of it. I want 2d animation but the only people that do that are vanillaware, ubisoft and the occasional indie. Why aren't big companies making 2d games anymore? Don't even try to tell me that is is to expensive. Studios are wasting 200 million and more per game nowadays. They can afford 2d animation.
I also hate that out of all the big companies the only one doing 2d is fucking Ubisoft. The company that I hate the most. Vanillaware is only AA at most and they are pretty much carrying 2d animation in gaming. Apparently George Kamitani was quite disappointed how the industry super focused on 3d. He therefore started focusing on 2d games, something about wanting to see how the industry would be like had we evolved from pixels to handdrawn instead of 3d. I want to see that as well.
Hollow knight is another good one, and its indie as well. Has a very adorable artstyle and is one of few metroidvanias that isn't fucking pixels. Cuphead is/was an indie game that also has great animation. The artstyle is very unique as well. Never played it myself though, no reason in particular.
I wish I had more examples but I already posted the UC examples in the thread about it and I can't find the gif of rayman blowing a fairys skirt up.
Whatever opinion you might have on any of the games mentioned most of them were successes. UC sold a million, The rayman games sold great (I think?), Cuphead and hollow knight are selling fantastically. Clearly there is a demand for it and yet so little supply.

Outer Wilds: Not That Good
I kept hearing about how much of a grand masterpiece this game was just to find it out it was a just a small indie puzzle box with a SUPER OBNOXIOUS central mechanic to pad out the playtime. The gimmick, puzzles having a time limit, is, by itself, a good one. It forces you to challenge the puzzles asymmetrically. But, in order to make the gimmick work, the game needs a mechanic to back-track and that’s what the looping is for — and it’s gets old FAST. The game is not large, it’s quite small in fact, so being forced to reset and do the same puzzles over and over and over again to progress drags the game way down.

The cross-platform singularity: the convergence of PC and mobile gaming
I've been struggling to make a thread like this because of how to express such a niche topic that gets zero attention. But here goes:
Over the past few years, a certain game Genshit Impact blew up and changed the mobile market completely. A key factor to its success was not only that it was chinkshit BOTW but it was playable outside of muh wife's boyfriend's Switch for "free." Suddenly, the field went from disposable side games played by turd worlders to being taken seriously overnight. And with it came the copycats, and with that came the need to grow and grab more dollars free of Grapple and Gulag's clutches. Thus the PC clients and controller support rolled out.
The advent of Unity and Unreal to Eastern devs, combined with chinks and gooks growing up with always online games and expanding in soft power, while the Nipponese gravitate increasingly towards portability, has resulted in a glut of titles that are available on both PC and phones (sometimes web). As more and more of them come out, some of them, in the spirit of Ross Freeman, convert themselves into packaged games you can purchase on retail. Some mobile devs capitalize off their success on phones to develop real hardcore games.
Meanwhile, hardcore games have slowly adopted the same live service trappings of mobile titles, and handheld game ports are making more money than ever.
<battle passes
<microtransaction shops, lootboxes, and gachas
<deckbuilding
<wikis and metas
<"gameplay loops"
<limited time collabs and crossovers
All the talk about normalfag gamers suddenly discovering indie games is BS as Palworld and Helldivers 2 were both live service games that happened to have the aesthetic of hardcore games. This development is what flash games and handheld titles were leading up to.
My thesis is that games will eventually be designed for both mobile and PC from the ground up, due to the rise of the East in influence, and the future of gaming relies on the direction this development takes, for the better or worse. Ideally all games will start out free, replacing traditional demos, but there will be an option to buy the game outright or play it with microtransactions. Alternatively, hardcore games will be ported to ARM as we are starting to see over the years, with Crapple and Microshit making a huge push with ISA translation.
Pros
>devs essentially have more creative freedom
>low budget and barrier of entry, means a return to the PS2 era of development
>shift to developing for multiple resolutions which helps with preservation as upscaling and temporal aliasing become more popular; something I've seen that is interesting is that some mobile games are designed at a 1:1 ratio so they can adapt to any screen
>smaller gaymen devices are kewl
>grawfix will stop being wanked over and focus will be on battery life and thermals instead
>hot anime babes will eventually cleanse and purify the Jewish rot of the West
Cons
<the live service approach is akin to commercial serial storytelling and most of it fucking sucks, especially with the hero collectors
<mobile gamers are fucking stupid and the mobile market is predatory; there's increasing tribalism over fucking gachas and online shooters like they're football teams
<mobile games tend to have high marketing budgets to try to expand player bases which is not much better than the current triple gAAAy norm
<many mobile games are just rehashes of other concepts, not that that changes much either
<mobile games developed improperly cause heat issues with devices that only have passive cooling
<treadmill work, dailies and external reward campaigns
<devs are also stupid as shit, Alchemy Stars is a 2D gacha that is as big as some AAA games in file size, I started this thread because of how some successful mobile games run like shit and are unoptimized on phones

How should gamers fight problems with modern games?
Greentext at least one problem and find solutions to the problem.
1) Bland "brown and bloom" colors and graphics, uncreative, uninviting, and visually unstimulating, that reduce atmosphere, emotional impact, and uniqueness
2) Crunch culture where employees work long hours under intense pressure to meet deadlines and deliver products, causing burnout and decreased product quaality
3) Degradation of the hobby as gaming became international and developers adapted design to cater to broader demographics
4) Digital rights management that requires online server authentication, or negatively impacts game performance, or limits how you can use the game
5) Diversity, equity, and inclusion biasing hiring processes at the expense of skills which reduces studio performance, competence, and morale
6) Excessive DLC that fragments the gaming experience, locking content behind additional purchases instead of including it in the initial release
7) Exploiting, cheating, and hacking online like aimbots and wallhacks, offline players usually know each other which discouraged local cheating due to social consequences
8) Game-as-a-service models, subscription and cloud services for gaming where you (((own nothing and be happy)))
9) Hyper-realism instead of artistic and aesthetic style, making games look generic as they strive for similar fidelity and lose unique artistic identity
10) Input lag making games feel more unresponsive, particularly in genres like fighting games, first-person shooters, or platformers needing precise movements or combos
11) Kernel-level anticheat that violate privacy and increases the risk malicious actors exploit security vulnerabiltiies to infect gamers with malware
12) Limited physical releases where many modern games are digital-only, and companies assume digital distribution, the PS5 Pro even lacks a disc drive
13) Loading screen saturation that frequently interrupts gameplay, wastes time, and breaks immersion
14) Monetization, microtransactions, loot boxes, and gambling mechanics and how developers design games around compulsive spending of players instead of delivering quality content
15) Movie games requiring significant "Triple A" budgets and minimizing player agency by sidelining gameplay and how they interact with the game world
16) Pay-to-win mechanics that let players gain advantages by purchasing powerful items or upgrades, undermining fair competition
17) Reduced challenge to cater to broader demographics as gameplay is de-emphasized
18) Releasing games incomplete with significant bugs then patching day one or over time with frequent updates instead of quality assurance, pre-ordering games encourages this too
19) System requirements where modern games require powerful hardware, making them less accessible, or large large with long download times so customers buy storage to play
20) Woke game narratives and character designs, prioritizing diversity over game quality, lacking positive role models, and abandoning game audiences for (((modern audiences)))

Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii says political correctness has made western games ‘terrible’.
>Oshii: Political correctness started from the idea of giving legitimacy to the socially weak. There is nothing wrong with that. In a mature society, it is a natural responsibility. However, the problem is that it has taken that as its starting point and made the socially weak into the strong.
>Oshii: They were given priority in getting into school, and priority in finding a job. What’s more, the companies that advised them charged them ridiculous amounts in consulting fees. Game companies ask for hundreds of millions of yen from them.
>Oshii: Basically, it’s based on admiration! If you deny admiration, entertainment loses its reason for existence as entertainment. In the past, even if you said “beautiful” people would say it was discriminatory. Western games are really terrible

Can we have a Stalker thread?
I've recently tried out what all the fuss around GAMMA is about and I must say it's quite a fun experience
For people who don't know, it's a customizable modpack for Anomaly (a freeplay mod consiting all areas of the first 2 stalker games) and comes with its own updater and Mod organizer 2 config.
You need the GAMMA launcher fiels wich can be downloaded from theri shitcord, but if you are a boomer like me who doesn't want to make an aacount you can just download this somewhat older build off mediafire and it will update itself upon lauch to the newest version.
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/agyul0e6fbban/STALKER_GAMMA
Then you need Anomaly itself which can be downlaoded here:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads
Unpack both into their seperate folders and then point the MO2 from the gamma folder towards the Anomaly folder and from there it will be basically autopilot.
I enjoyed the A-life in this and how the best parts of the original trilogy are expanded upon, specifically the hobo phase.
Weapon and armor upgrades feel siginifcant but you can even start out with some decent gear since you get a few points to spend on a new game.
I'd recommend tweaking the MCM settings to your liking though, stuff like dropped ammo amount and gear condition based on rank for example.
I also didn't like the brown and colorless look of the default install, reinstalling the grass and weater mods gives several options like spring, summer, autumn, winter etc.

Unionization in video games.
There was recently some discussion on the unionification in the video games industry in the Marathon thread, and while I believe the approach to how video games are published and translated need to be changed, I also think that the powers at be are making an attempt at a power grab. I actually made an article on the subject here [
https://medium.com/@markmann447_91903/unionization-isnt-the-answer-a-call-for-free-markets-in-gaming-489abf30abe7], although I had to delete the discussion in the Marathon thread since it wasn't related to neither Marathon nor Bungie, I do find the subject to be rather interesting as someone who DOES want change, but also believes that Unionization is a communist tactic to destroy competitive American industry, but also has legitimate benefits depending on the type of industry where there really isn't an incentive for growth like trades and such.
I also find that those pushing for unions in the video games industry are the worst types of industry shills like Jason Schreier, in addition to Harvey Weinstein defenders SAG. They've also made unironic propaganda as a way to push the idea of unionization onto the gaming industry as seen in my embedded images. Either way, I'm quite concerned who would be running said unions since Hollywood has become a cesspit during its run with unions and how there isn't a lot of talent in Hollywood because of unions and how they block freelancers. Still, I wanted to move discussion here since I feel there IS a discussion to be had.

Mechanics that turn you off games

I absolutely hate this garbage and I fucking hate Blizzard for making this lazy awful shit popular.
What I love the most about this color coded RNG bullshit is the fact that not only are you getting the same weapon with different stats, which just waters down the weapon, instead of adding actual variety like a different weapon model with the same moveset, is the fact that you constantly get lower tier colored weapons that have higher DPS than top tier colored ones.
Not even a skin to differentiate these weapons as well, absolutely immersion breaking and lazy to the very core.

Alternative form in Vidya Games that allow you to assume power with a sinister take and appearance to match. I've been thinking about games that allow you to turn into a monster since I enjoyed playing PSP2I's beast and loved using nanoblast to turn into a werewolf and the rare occasion I managed to use dark nanoblast to extend and become even more vicious. I'm looking for games that give you the feeling of turning into something more feral and vicious. Even better if it's something non human. I guess alternative versions of characters also count as well if the fifth image is anything to go by.

Ports that are completely different games
A really interesting phenomenon prominent during the 2000s, but existed outside of it. It wasn't uncommon for a game to launch on 5-7 different platforms with each version being a completely different game, this was especially common for tie-in games.
Though I'm less interested in that, and more interested in the games that were something else entirely. Be it a different campaign like Quake 2 N64, or just an entirely original game like the GBA Daikatana Zelda-like. I'd like to hear about more of these I'm unaware of.

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:

Games where you play as a Merchant
Games where you engage in mercantile activities, preferably fantasy/historical rather than modern businessman shit. Not the same type of fantasy.
Recettear is a pretty classic example and involves you running a shop in a fantasy JRPG world.
Port Royale 2 is a great game set in the Carribean where you play as a merchant/Privateer going around the Carribean selling shit to different towns and nations, engaging in wars, hunting pirates etc. Unfortunately, it does not really allow you to be a pirate. The economy is pretty complex from what I've seen and many games do not get to the same level as this one.

The horrible death of Shenmue
I just get myself thinking from time to time how horrible it is that Shenmue never reached it's completion, and how a complete piece of shit Shenmue III was, after so much trust was put into that hack Yu Suzuki, only to have him pocket the money and deliver essentially a filler episode while arrogantly announcing in the game's credits that there would be a guaranteed Shenmue IV after this fiasco.
What would the industry be if Shenmue was actually successful? I'm not talking about Sega itself, but the industry as a whole. Would we ever have GTA III and it's current format? Would the whole tale of Shenmue ever be satisfying and become a memorable event in the history of video games and general media? How would anyone manage it better than it was (giving how utterly mismanaged this whole mess was since the first game, and even before that, during the Saturn phase of the project)?
Was it ever possible for it to be successful with it's (mostly pretentious) proposal of a multi chapter game saga taking over 10 games to be complete, even before the first game was made?
Does any anon here followed the news about Shenmue, the very first game, back in the day, and shares this lamentation about the series that was never completed, that comes from time to time when remembering it all?
Was Shenmue III such a scam from the very start, as it seems to be? Or was it mismanaged (again) mid-production and became garbage due to too much "success" from the kikestarter and too much attention from the media and fans?
This is just a mix of rant and daydreaming about the possibilities that never became a reality, that I tend to go back to from time to time, regarding this particular series, given how it truly felt like something so unique and out of the norm at it's beginning, mixed with the melancholy of never having it at least be completed, even if was just to make sure it was, indeed, garbage without any means of salvation, as it looks like now.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos
AKA Zeno Clash 3
Did anyone here played it? I personally thought it was a pretty good departure from Zeno Clash with the more focuses on exploration and fancy combat moves thought it still way too short.

New trailer just dropped. What I have gathered from it:
>game delayed even further back
>absolutely no gameplay whatsoever
>everything is lowest denominator one liners
>jason's voice acting is flat and dry despite this being a showcase of the game
>voice lines when talking to each other at times sound like they are done in different rooms or with different mics
>looks more woke now more than ever

WTF Borderlands / 2K / Gearbox games Terms of Service
Like why are they wanting to force accounts for a game that is over a decade ago? Also, why the overbearing Terms of service like wanting browser history,
If want to watch instead of read, pay attention to the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMKMhqKzHxs
Why do we need insane T.o.Service crap for a game that has been on steam for more than a decade? The Steam Reviews page for Borderlands is so justified. Why is there Spyware basically now added to a decade old game? I thought it was bad for Minecraft, but this is just as bad if not worse.

There is no such thing as a AAA game. It's a marketing term made up by PR cunts that they are very careful with lest advertising regulations kick the door down and say "Tell us what this means right now".

Synergy
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1989070/Synergy/
Saw this game had just came out of Early Access, so I decided to pick it up and try it out since it has a cool art style. Was hoping someone else might have done the same, as there's really nowhere to talk about it beyond Steam's forums and that's a shit hole of underage retards I don't want to deal with.
It's a fun game. It still needs a lot of polish, compared to other city/base building type games, but the devs seem to want to develop on it further and keep updates rolling to add content to the game so I'm excited to see that.
Anyone else pick up the game or try it out?

You are applying for your dream job. The last job you'll ever need, with all the benefits and salary you could hope for - with flexible hours! The interview went incredibly well so far, but it's coming to a close now and your interviewers have the most difficult question to ask you yet. Your acceptance into this job will hinge entirely on how you answer this question. You think you've got it all handled until your interviewer asks:
>Well Anon, final question: What is your proudest videogame-related accomplishment?
<e.g. Completed Super Meat Boy with one life, won a speedrunning WR in Ocarina of Time, got all achievements for Elden Ring, completed Touhou 17 on Lunatic 1cc, etc

Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco: The Tides of Time remasters announced alongside new Ecco game
Apparently Ecco and Ecco Tides of Times are getting a remaster by Ed Annunziata and most of the original Hungarian team at Novotrade/Appaloosa. I don't know how they're going to remaster the game considering how well the visuals hold up, although I HOPE they don't make everything 3D in UE5 and call it a day. After the remasters are finished they're going to be making a new sequel to Ecco, although they're not working on the 3D Dreamcast game Defender of the Future or it's cancelled sequel, Sentinels of the Universe, which I believe are much more deserving of a facelift and mechanical fixes.
Then again, Ed didn't work on those.

Autistic Vidya Attachments
You guys ever just like, grow a dumb attachment to a random video game character that makes no sense but you just really adore them and want dumb art of them being fucking cute or just adorable or stuff?
Cause I got one that's fucking weird
>Its this bug alien creature called a Corrupter from Command and Conquer that vomits bio-corrupting green Tiberium goo on enemies and melts infantry and buildings, and heals other aliens. I grew up with that game and the sounds and animations it had were just wonderful to watch and listen. I always liked to imagine of getting art or drawing it as like a big cuddly anthro bug alien thing. Its fucking weird but I like it a lot.
