>>1725600 Maybe there's some leeway, but this would require society and its people to maintain an endless amount of fidelity and cognizance of nuance for everything which simply isn't possible for the human brain in the present time. There's a reason why there's a push to put niggers, chinese and indians out of countries even if you might like chinese or indian food or you like some of these people at the individual level. You have nothing to lose by removing nuance, making a group a pariah, and its origins and creations taboo. You do, however, start losing in the long term if you do not eradicate them, do not keep tabs on these groups and let yourself slack. Take the chinese for instance. For a more relevant example, consider the people who grew up on Undertale, on writing fanfiction or reading/writing yaoi.

>>1725702 Oh yeah, another example: gachaniggers

Alright, which one of you guys did this?

>>1725738 >virginia Lol.

>>1725738 Retard, it's supposed to be "Beach Bum" using an 8 for a B.

>>1726245 Hello 8chan bum.

>>1454562 Indeed, the PS Vita was poorly marketed. Sony should have stepped their game up and brought Marcus back.

>>1727535 I maintain the PSV would have sold at least 2-3x if they just named the fucking thing the PSP2. More had they dropped OLED and all the gimmicks to chop $100 off the price. They can still do it! Repackage the PS4 as a handheld and call it PSP2, they could have the whole PS4 library (lol) and a swath of devs who already know how to design for it. It's not like this hasn't been done before, the PSP itself was already based on the PS2 and the GBA was a heavily modified SNES.

>>1727749 They are doing that, kind of. It's been known for at least two years now they're working on another handheld (actual handheld, not that PS Portal crap), but unlike what you've suggested; it sounds like more bespoke hardware and partially based on the PS5. https://archive.ph/qUL81 I'm unsure how good of an idea that is, I foresee it becoming a niche device and not the runaway success of the PSP.

Question, why are core gameplays not getting refined anymore in many modern games? over 20 years ago you would get shit on for not refined it the core gameplay or making a frankenstein mix genre game.

>>1727909 Why is society in decline?

>>1727749 There were myriads of issues that I could point out as an old vitafag >had to import the 64GB card from Japan (which costed ~85€ back when the yen wasn't crippled like it is nowadays) >anyone else was forced to live with the 32GB card, a very limited amount of storage when most of the stuff released overseas on Vita was digital-only. Even more so if you wanted to install PSP and PS Classics on it, while Vita games weighted around 1GB ~ 3.5GB. >3/4 of its game library was niche Japanese stuff, and a good chunk of them were moonrunes-only too. >the PSN store in Europe was a mess to browse, especially on the console itself. The Japanese PSN store was a lot more ordered by comparison. >regulated as the "HD console but portable" despite it easily struggled on 3D games (nevermind the ports of PS4 games, Gal Gun Double Peace and the Mysterious Ateliers for example) or even 2D indies (like Rabi-Ribi or Risk of Rain 1) so clearly the tech wasn't here yet. >outside of Minecraft and a few Sony's own offerings like Killzone Mercenary, you couldn't expect much from western devs (remember the Vita port of Borderlands 2 ?) >SIE never bothered to fix the bugs of the system, except anything that could lead to a hack exploit. The music player (which could replace the game's BGM with your own music files while preserving the in-game voices and ambient noises) still had corruption issues even back in 2019 >if you want to transfer anything between the Vita and your computer, you had to use a middleman program. The problem of the limited storage goes back again, alongside of smartphones thriving, so there was no point to use it as a media machine like the PSP back then. The console itself was fine if you lived in Japan but there weren't a lot of incentives for the gaijins otherwise. Mind you, I liked this console. But going from the Vita then to the Switch was like night and day afterwards.

>>1727749 GBA wasn't a heavily modified SNES you fucking retard. GBA has more in common with the 3DO than the SNES.

>>1728205 >unnecessary rage over technical detail Somebody missed an ABA session! He probably means the SoC which had a few scant similarities to the SNES in order to maintain backwards compat with previous Game Boys, which relied on the same "Picture Processing Unit" concept the NES and SNES used. There's little beyond that though, the two having totally different CPUs. More likely he's confusing it because the GBA kind of feels like a handheld SNES, even the 3D looks like Super FX

More Aya Nishitani storytime

>>1728736 I think you could merge all the individual tangents on a single picture. With that said, thanks, Megami Tensei sure went through interesting times. I wonder if Aumshin influenced the Cult of Gaea's depictions later on.

>>1729817 Just occupy your mind with other stuff be it work or physically intensive. At one point you'll just start chasing skirt instinctively since your balls aren't drained.

>>1727535 Marketing was only part of the problem, and wouldn't have saved the Vita on its own. The Vita was ultimately a victim of sabotage and neglect by Sony's western branch. >>1727749 The only part of your idea I can agree with is slashing the price, and maybe the name too (but the name problem is more of a hindsight thing really), but there's no need to cut out anything from the Vita for that. Hardware is almost always sold at a loss but make up for it in software sales, they should've just take the hit. >>1727788 Unless the Japanese branch is given substantial control of a lot of things and they can find competent engineers and designers like they had a decade-plus ago, I can't see them succeeding. All these "handhelds" that are being released of late are fucking terrible. It might just be DOA. >>1727945 Yep, but the biggest problem (outside of Sony's overarching mismanagement causing all these issues in the first place) was still the price for the longest time by far. Nintendo had many even worse issues than those you listed with their 3DS (the Vita's only real competition that generation), but they still sold way more than the Vita because they recognized the obvious issue (eventually): more 3DSes in people's hands means more games sold, and trying to jew people over hardware is a fool's errand. They sold more 3DSes when they dropped the price than they did at launch, which was fucking unbelievable. A lesson they'll probably have to re-learn with the Switch 2, but unfortunately there isn't much competition to force them to do so. The (probably) second biggest was yes, a lack of games that the large audiences would expect on the platform. Monster Hunter, Gran Turismo, and GTA IV (not even V) on the platform would've sold gangbusters. Really everything coalesced into the biggest mess possible for the Vita, it's a miracle it did as well it did, though I will say it wasn't completely fucked in the west, as there was a shit-ton of indies in the mid 2010s that lent their support to the system and supported it happily and as best they could. I bought a Vita pretty late in its lifespan, only after realizing how terrible my decision to purchase (multiple) 3DSes and most of its worthwhile library was, and was overjoyed to see how much better the Vita was. It helped that the price was reasonable and somehow actually better than the 3DS and was fully hackable nearly typed that as fuckable, which was also true.

How do I get my friend to stop playing ASSFAGGOTS (dota) and enjoy vidya again? Some qualifiers: >I played many thousands of games of dota with him but I do not like the game anymore >He complains constantly while playing and barely enjoys it >He has said he is depressed and also jobless >I offered him $500 to uninstall dota and play any other game for 20 hours in 1 week and he refused despite being jobless There's more but that's the gist. I love the guy, we agree on a lot and I even met up with him IRL and hung out, but he simply will not stop playing the garbage that makes him feel even worse and actively alienates people from him when they do play with him because all he does is complain the whole time. Any ideas from anons short of crossing a border and installing a child lock on his physical PC myself?

>>1730145 He's going to burn out eventually, he's already on the edge of doing so. In my case, I grinded ranked on LoL a little under a decade ago, got far and then just got sick of it and never touched it again. I was basically the same way as your friend as your friend from the way you described it. Things will run its course if he's complaining a lot about it.

>>1730156 The thing is, he's been doing this for like 3 years at this point. Me and one other main guy he played with abandoned the game but he continued on. I would wake up to 7+ steam messages saying >welp another game where I play carry and no one helps me >my teammates griefed me for 40 minutes >how are these people max behavior score Ect ect. Now he just plays turbo (double gold/xp, short games, casual mode essentially) and he still complains about the same shit. It's not competitively motivated like he's grinding for points/mmr, it's become a ritual to dump negativity into.

>>1730163 Well shit, thats not good. In my case my final grind was to prove I could go far if I wanted to. It's natural to want to be good at the thing you invest a lot of time into. In his case, maybe try posing it as a challenge to him, these complaints you listed sound like ones of a frustrated person with the lot he's stuck with, but if he's better than those he's playing with/against he can rise above that, and if not, it exacerbates his frustration. Either way it'll make him sicker and sicker of it.

>>1730183 >if he's better than those he's playing with/against He really isnt. Like I said it's not competitively motivated. He makes the same mistakes over and over and then blames his team as a ritual. I've told him several times to just play ranked and focus on learning if he wants better teammates but the excuses are "the games are too long" and "I don't want to play solo". And I am certainly not getting dragged back into ranked where I will be forced to reprimand him and not only take my focus off the game (that I no longer enjoy anyway) but also cause division between us as friends and teammates in the moment. If all I can do is wait for him to burn out then so be it but I really want things to change. Hence the $500 offer. It still blows my mind he refused that, if I were jobless like him I'd do it immediately.

>>1730197 wait until he gets kicked out and goes homeless. he won't be able to play dota then :^)

>>1730230 I'd hate for that to happen as he lives in Toronto so he'd essentially be homeless in New India. Poojeets would cannibalize him. Also for whatever reason his wife doesnt seem to care that she is the breadwinner. Or her family is rich. I dont really ask about that. So I think it's unlikely for him to go homeless.

Can someone recommend me a FPS with stat-building, upgrades and hidden secrets? I really liked "Beyond citadel" and want more games like it. I did try Wolfenstein 2009, but it wasn't really what I was looking for. Is "Selaco" or "Witchfire" any good?

>>1730240 >unemployed and depressed, but literally has a rich wife doing all the work while he stays at home playing shitty video games Unbelievable, I figured he was a grown man but this is fucking embarrassing. I was a teenager when I went through my assfaggots phase, this guy just sounds like a DSP who plays Dota.

The buyfag demons do not follow sound logic and continue infest your mind even if there was the end of the world, not until you buy new gaben's VR and trendy games. "damage not wine and oil", those faggots are full of meta shit now, and they seem to be prone to be suicidal, hence do not need to be convinced. Do not buy anything.

>>1730262 System Shock 2 And no neither of those are good or what you're looking for.

>>1730145 >>1730163 >He complains constantly while playing and barely enjoys it >my teammates griefed me for 40 minutes Consider the following - nobody who plays that icefrog warcraft map has ever enjoyed it. That's pretty much summary of assfaggots, what you just wrote. It won't be any different than this and ain't supposed to be. Gay Ben keeps him addicted to Ass Faggots. We need to find and remove Gay Ben, his perverted steamy Gay cock stuck too long in your friend's Ass.

>>1730240 How can i find a wife like this

>>1730283 >this guy just sounds like a DSP who plays Dota. Kind of, yes. I have avoided calling him lolcow tier cause I dont want to hurt his feelings but he shoots off excuses like one >>1730353 There are definitely enjoyable moments in Dota but you are correct for the most part that it is actively being developed as an addiction so people keep buying the dota monthly subscription service and buying skins >>1730365 Be white and marry a chinese woman apparently

>>1730382 I need to move to the USA man >Get diligent asian wife with daddy issues >Marry her >Free money and sex But that's never going to happen...

>>1730679 >Not American already Just don't move to a big city like NYC or California

>>1730679 He's Canadian actually. Lots of Asians up there for some reason, especially Chinese

>>1730382 Ok that makes sense >>1730679 I remember Nick mentioning he doesn't like asian chicks.

>>1730710 I feel bad for Canadians

>>1731114 I don't, they're basically Europeans but without the history and heritage to be smug about.

>>1731217 I feel for the ones that want to move out but are stuck there. I've met a gew of them that use this board too.

>>1731217 >Europeans are smug Maybe if you're french, or a politician.

>>1718388 All of these games should run on a potato and they all have Linux native support. Space chem or any of the zachtronics games are good if you like pure abstaract puzzle games. I liked primordia. quite short for a point and click but worth it. cool robot bros. OpenTTD had great linux support and is completely free (as in freedom! (and as in beer)). train austium

>>1731507 Oh wow, somebody else who knows of Primordia. Ever-Faithful hurt my soul and I love him, I wish we were as beautiful and as virtuous as his beloved man-god. He made me want to be the benevolent creator he worships. The worst part of the game is Crispin, the "adorable but annoying robot" trope wasn't quite so tired yet, but he's Claptrap Lite and strangely juxtaposed against the otherwise serious and philosophical nature of the game.

>>1731533 my nigger I actually need to replay it. I can only really remeber the atmosphere of it. reminded me a litle bit of Full throttle. did you also help Crispin to get laid?

>>1727945 >back when the yen wasn't crippled like it is nowadays) Why are people still parroting this meme when the mutt dollar is so hyperinflated people are starting to be unable to buy groceries?

>>1731539 I did NOT fuck Crispin even if I wanted to, his IQ is exactly 6 and it would have been morally wrong. I was unaware you could be his wingman, does he bang brutality-bot Clarity?

>>1729817 You don't have a porn addiction issue, you have a procrastination and low willpower issue paired with a personality that makes you easily go down the road of using porn to cope. If not porn you would be vomiting your liver on a bar or sniffing dust, you are just lazy/poor enough to merely use porn instead of going out with worse drugs. Same happens with people playing competitiveslop all day.

>>1730382 >buying the dota monthly subscription service Ex fucking cuse me? Has valve gone downhill that hard since I quit the game around 2012?

>>1729817 I like porn, but I think it really fucks with people mentally because I've seen artists go down the pipeline of curvy women > fat women > obese women > hyper ass > slob, musk, and sweat > farts > vore and scat; maybe skipping a few steps or them coming in a different order. I saw an anon call this the hedonistic treadmill. Frankly, I'm terrified of it. I've avoided the worst of it but I try to not look at as much porn because I do not like how my own sexuality has been developing. Thankfully my hatred of sadism and "meanness" has steered me away from a lot of the really bad stuff, but I agree it's taken as a joke. Porn isn't inherently bad, so getting addicted to it isn't treated as anything serious.

>>1731539 Same here. I bought it and Shardlight a long time ago, but I only beat Primordia. I remember the general atmosphere and bits and pieces of scenarios, but really I just remember that it was bretty gud and worth revisiting. I might have taken this as a cue to give it a replay, but I just did a quick run-through of King's Quest IV the other night to see if I could still remember all the puzzle solutions - and that satiated my adventure game craving for a bit. That I still need to knuckle down and actually beat Gray Matter. For as much as I brag about how Jane Jensen was objectively the far superior developer to Roberta Williams, I still never really got around to finishing her last(?) game.

(cont. to >>1731706) I think these are my platonic ideal of porn; sweet, gentle, exotic, loving, and cute. Being into this had made it hard to be truly addicted to porn because there is so little of it, both creators and consumers are more interested in being cruel and depraved -- vore almost 90k tags on r34 while cuddling has just 12k. video games

>>1731708 Primordia is one of the few games that with writing about as good as a decent sci-fi book, it has actual themes and subtext like passiveness vs agency and self-identity, it is shockingly rare to find that in games. It had a sequel of sorts in the form of a short novella called Fallen. I recommend Wadjet Eye's other games. Technobabylon is another bright spot.

>>1731575 Throwing around hyperbolic language like this is retarded, especially when everyone knows that the US dollar is literally the world's global currency, so if it goes down, everyone goes down with it. And in spite of how poorly the dollar is doing right now, the yen is considerably worse.

>>1731928 >the US dollar is literally the world's global currency Not for long the way things are going

>>1731575 I had zero interest in importing anything from the USA so I have no frame of reference in how the dollar evolved over time. By comparison, I could still remember how getting Japanese games and books from their home country were fairly more expensive than the localized products 10 years ago. Buying a ~7000 yen game on Vita was pretty much the equivalent of 65€ ~ 70€ back then, now the same amount of Japanese money is reduced to 40€.

>>1654535 they got Warhammer and DnD branching stuff Warlord has already taken steps to be apart of the main stream it's only a matter of time

>>1730145 Nightreign possibly? Maybe Duskbloods when it comes out? If you want something slower paced consider Stardew Valley co-op, or even a homesteading in Terraria.

>>1731928 I like how the $ keeps plummeting, makes everything cheaper for me since a lot of thing I buy vidya related defaults to $. It's even more worth it than buying in Euro for me now

>>1732586 40K is so ass now it's depressing

>>1732442 >euro

>>1734474 >soundless You aren't on cuckchan anymore, stop with this shit

>>1734490 given that its both soundless and right under 4mb you can safely assume he got it there

>>1734474 >No context >I'm supposed to believe by the added text that this is in Germany >No sound

>>1730163 The easiest way requires an external factor that forcibly breaks him of his addiciton and gets him off cold turkey. That could be one update that irreparably fucks up the entire game, one interaction regarding the game (inside or outside) that forces introspection and an acknowledgment of the problem, or real world obligations occupying him away from the game so he has less than ~one hour per day. Source: I lost 2000 hours to a MOBA, and I regret it all, but I can comfortably assert MOBA games are the most DUMBFUCK VIOLENT TURBONIGGER genre of video games there could possibly be I'd have taken that $500 deal in a heartbeat in his position >>1730382 THERE'S A SUB FEE FOR DOTA? Who would pay monthly for digital mental CBT sessions? >Be white and marry a chinese woman apparently Time for me to start importing. >>1731706 >>1731727 How fucked up is it to start "from the bottom" and elevate my taste so that it reaches up to "the top" so to speak in this circumstance? Your best bet for cuddle porn is erotic audio

>>1731625 There's another flying robot repairing the bus in the city. You have to get Crispin to practice on a lamp before talking to her, kek. Then they kiss or have sex over bluetooth idk. she give you some copper wire for a puzzle but you can miss her if you do too much other stuff first. In that case I think the copper wire is just on the ground.

>>1733467 i know and i was born just in time for every hobby i pick up to turn to shit before i could really get into it video games being the exception to where i got to be a part of it before it became corroded

>>1731507 >Primordia This is the first commercial game I've seen that's made in Adventure Game Studio.

Posting this here for (near) future reference.

>>1718388 South Park really surprised me, i need to check out the sequel

>>1737000 Well, the internet was pretty good too until around 2010 or so, at least we still had that. I hope VRfags are having fun with their niche.

I just heard someone call Bug fables "deltarune but bugs". I recoiled in disgust.

>>1741571 its actually closer to a paper mario TYD fanfic with the copyright sanded off

>>1741571 It's more like Paper Mario with sexy bugs.

>>1741571 Its what people know. I once talked to a girl who's a game dev major at university (I'm a PhD) and the way she was so emphatic about Undertale being a first of its kind rpg made me realize that she likely first played it when she was like 10 years old (Undertale is 8 years old now). To that end, its the only thing they might have a frame of reference for; ergo this meme

>>1742927 >a girl who's a game dev major at university (I'm a PhD) and the way she was so emphatic about Undertale being a first of its kind rpg My frustration is immeasurable and my every day life grinds my bones sharper with hate and spite for these people.

>>1742927 But the game was heavily earthbound inspired, this is common knowledge? Unless she's referring to the specific synthesis of things in Undertale (e.g. the variety of minigames incorporated within the core gameplay, the pacifism vs genocide choice in combat), which I guess might be true, but I wouldn't know.

Had no idea sonic r had such good music

>>1744184 It's made by Richard Jacques, go listen to the rest of his stuff, it's fantastic. Started listening to it with Headhunter

>>1744184 You watched the videogamedunkey video didn't you?

>>1744332 Will do >>1744840 Game sack actually, the saturn analog video specifically

Actually played that Luanti thing that it's on the catalog. Is nice since I could install with with no issues in Linux. Not a fan of mining or crafting tho.

>>1746157 lol is this an old stream?

>>1746455 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jnBL3bTd0M

>>1743424 What can you really do? Its like people thinking Doom is the first FPS or COD being the first WWII shooter. The waves of history wash away those whose peaks were not outstandingly celebrated. >>1743444 That's the thing. If you haven't heard of Earthbound, a 30+ year old videogame, then its not going to be in your well of knowledge.

>>1743444 >the pacifism vs genocide choice in combat Postal did it first.

Technically they already did with the Wii remake taking away the swimwear costumes unless you got the Japanese version or a patch to restore them & aging the girls up from their original appearances on the PS2 & Xbox.

>>1731706 I think you are looking at commissioned artists to which they are dragged around by money. I also think commissions are used destructively. I do not accept that there are rich fartfags permeating the world and I can't see those with infinite money not putting this to use to shift perceptions of beauty, appeal, and demand. That on top of certain companies commissioning art of their own game characters which led to rushing to draw the latest popular thing, that act qualifying as a form of commission and moving fan art to becoming something other than a hobby. Then there is the casino that is posting your art online and striving for the biggest numbers you can get. Looking at some of what is drawn can you really believe they like all of what they are putting out? Or that their ability has degraded to such an extent that they can no longer make what they started with? Or completely lose interest in what got them drawing to start with? It is sure to not be a form of deterioration or lunacy or addiction, just trickery and a lack of self respect for their effort.

Here's something I've been looking at lately. Megami Tensei 1 & 2 got a combined physical OST in 1991 that came with a booklet containing plenty of interesting stuff. Eirikr uploaded high-quality scans of it over 11 years ago ( archive.ph/eXJex ), and I've searched numerous corners of the internet for translations, but so far I haven't found any, except for one page of Aya Nishitani commentary, translated by Dijeh years ago ( archive.ph/bcwAE ). So I decided to get some of this done myself, with the help of OCR, machine translation, and a whole lot of proof-reading. It came out pretty sloppy, but I guess it'll have to do for now. (I would have liked to hire a proper translator who could get this done way better and faster than me, but alas, I'm broke as fuck.) The first thing that caught my interest was this little interview with Kazunari Suzuki, Kazuma Kaneko, Nobuaki Takerube and Daisuke Narisawa. The second thing was this page with guest commentaries by Ryusuke Mita (famous mangaka) and Ginichiro Suzuki (famous game designer, and Kazunari's father). I've still got the raw texts saved (both Japanese and English), so if you want me to dump them into Pastebin or wherever, just let me know.

>>1754102 Wouldn't it be better to just save them as text files and upload them here?

>>1754924 Oh yeah, interesting idea. I never tried uploading text files here directly before. Here, I hope this works.

>>1755043 Works on my machine!

>>1755043 Huh, that surprisingly worked for me.

Found the website of an obscure Hungarian videogame studio which website is still alive. I don't think they've updated the thing since 2013 and pretty much every other link is dead. https://llmm56.wixsite.com/xemono

I don't have to crash out. I don't need to crash out. The human brain can function without voicing one's frustration in an aggressive way. Breathe in, breathe out. I'm fine, everything is fine. I have commission work to do, I just got to focus on that It's fine, I don't need to yell. Not that I can. I don't need to ask people for their time to hear me out. They don't need to hear out the dumb cries of a dumb person. I am fine, everything is fine. Focus on work. Maybe write a little more before going to sleep. I don't need to crash out.

Last night I joined my friend group on a game of Smash Ultimate via Parsec, it was the most fun I had playing multiplayer in a while, my sides blew up just like my teammates's stocks at the sight of Kirby's hammer. Years of playing Brawl and now I realize how much of a relentlessly reckless player I am lmao. >Just looking at you for a couple seconds made me realize the kind of player you are. For anyone other than Kirby, I don't know what to expect; for Kirby, I know you like to press that funny, big red button with a B on it. Love these motherfuckers.

Would you guys play a game like this? >You play as a cute cyborg girl in a huge abandoned complex >A Rougelike with Metroidvania elements, like Noita + La Mulana >Enemies consist of maintenance/defense systems and experiments gone wrong >Can get access to locations and endings with time, upgrades, builds, or game knowledge >Equipment system that doubles as your inventory. E. g. you can remove your own heart and die, or can use loot you found instead of conventional ammo

>>1762139 Setting sounds like portal

>>1762139 >Rougelike with Metroidvania Sounds contradictory, I've heard one or two attempts fall flat on their face in the past. The rest sounds fine, but you better know what you're doing if you think you can just mishmash those two genres together.

>>1762285 It undoubtedly is. One of my ideas to make it less miserable is to have location variations that appear with time. The other issue is if you want to go a specific area but items that you got don't help with that at all. I would have to have at least something be consistent. Or design everything around player having no abilities and every ability at the same time. Maybe just making it a Metroidvania with permadeath would work better. I've played one and had fun. Also im curious as to what those attempts were.

>>1762285 Dead cells exists, its pretty good and rather successfull

>>1762139 >la mulana >noita >cogmind style system equipment and inventory >megastructure Dosh viewer. Honestly anything set in the GLT or Blame megastructures would be great.

>>1762436 I only saw bits of Dead Cells gameplay and didn't know about this. I'll be sure to play it.

>>1762139 >Rougelike with Metroidvania elements, You lost me.

>>1762139 >>A Rougelike with Metroidvania elements, like Noita + La Mulana So you mean something like Spelunky? Like if Spelunky didn't have linear progression and you could backtrack? Say like it generated the level configuration as you progress but once you've already generated levels they stayed the same through the current run?

>>1762139 >>A Rougelike No

>>1762436 Ironically enough dead cells is only good on a fresh save file before you start unlocking all the pointless bullshit filler trash weapons (that likely can be disabled from the pool later but I cannot be assed to figure out how).

>>1762139 Reminds me of Iji, but anime.

>>1766225 I don't think she'd be a good mother honestly.

>>1762139 >Rougelike Discarded

>>1776631 >Rougelike

>>1776866 I too want to ROUGE

>>1776866 >>1777038 Now that's a Rougelike I can get behind

>>1776626 >I don't think she'd be a good mother honestly. Why is that?

>>1778135 Too busy playing vidya

>>1778148 It do be like that. (poor hypothetical kid)

>>1778148 She can't play vidya with her kids?

>>1762139 Anon, that game already exists.

>>1778509 wait DS? im pretty sure i played it on gba though also >female protagonist >enemies are tentacles and flesh blobs >ZERO porn of it how HOW? if exist therie is porn of it, therefore if there is no porn of it might as well not exist. This might be true considering no one played this fucking game despising being a prttey good isometric metroid.

>>1778541 You just aren't looking hard enough.

More "mysterious" GOG codes, have fun. A good chunk are some D&D oldies or something. 2RPP676AC0F8A6D4F7 AGHW09A8AC066350AF QBALBE862A2A35DED3 H6FS4B6D6E44A07C38 SPFE209DEBBA7B0ABA LS7K35CCBDAA90058E PVQRFCC91ACB749529 3HP4264D31480898DC AT7J806C3F9EB8C68A 2VNLF4C05A6D92B803

>>1781678 Grabbed the second the last one. Cheers, anon!

>>1781678 I took the fourth and the fifth.

>>1781678 Grabbed the 6th Thanks anon

>>1781678 Grabbed the second, thanks

Some fun cosplay by the TF2 voice actors

Have some vidya-inspired fiction to read if you're bored. The idea is: let's throw a bunch of people into Norfair and see how they manage.

>>1781678 So what they were at the end? IE? Gold Box?

>>1782847 >retro game con tf2 is a retro game now.. fuck

>>1785324 the thing that gets me is that a lot of "retro" games got HD remakes and now even those remakes are looked back on as old..

>>1785338 Nah, I get you, I just wanted an excuse to post a Kelly comic. Incidentally, it's his latest.

>>1785324 >Sisqos Don't give a brother a bad rep

Strong shit.

>>1789121 So is the goal killing Bruce Lee or is it assassinating something on his behalf?

>>1789137 Seems Bruce Lees is going to help you kill The Dragon, possibly Brad Pitt in that hollywood movie. Friend asked who is even alive to make money out of Bruce Lee's corpse

>>1789262 He has family you know. Especially his daughter is still alive and has the Bruce Lee foundation running so there's that. Just from cursory research.

Have some more of my fanfic that no one reads >>1783412 A girl dresses up as a paladin to go fight Demon Lords for television as Blessed Cindy. I pulled these segments out of the story and put them into one PDF so you can read only that one character's story without being interrupted by the other concurrent plot lines. The Mary Sue goes with a pair of crooks on several missions to steal increasingly large and difficult robots. Those stories are "just the robots". If you can guess what worlds they are supposed to be screwing around in before I tell you at the end of the story, pat yourself on the back. And for extra autism, have a chart saying who all of the characters are based on and how well the gamblers expect them to do in the tournament. It includes some of the side characters who are not in the canon tournament but might be in a video game adaptation. I wanted to make one but never got around to doing more than thinking about it. The story may be based on Smash but I think a Little Fighter 2 control system might be more fun and would open up the game to team v. team matches and Double Dragon style missions.

>>1789121 >>1789137 From the intro, it sounds like you are mostly his bodyguard. Personally I don't have the problem with the idea, of an assassination game, having you kill Bruce Lee, I mean there is that JFK assassination game, so why not one for Bruce Lee? Though I also know, that in this sanitized, corporate industry, we can't have that, so you are delegated to bodyguard duty,

Speaking of funny crossovers. >There are few things that are truly badass. There's me, the Undertaker, the American Badass. There's the Hells Angels, MMMMMMMMMMM, don't wanna mess with them.

>>1792265 >Undertaker Thanks for reminding me how he ruined the Six Feet Under show by selling out to the WWE and having his wife replace his co-host.

>>1792265 I don't understand how anyone can possibly take Call of Duty seriously in any capacity anymore. Who is it made for? Who still buys it? Why?

>>1792426 CodM is done by a Tencent subsidiary so a lot of chinks play it. Lot of them werent even alive during Blops1/MW days and dont give a damn about tacticool stuff, just playing an arcade fps.

>>1792265 That's not even the craziest WWE crossover

Get in before September ends: https://cytu.be/r/jackbox1 >>1794695 I wish I had played this before service ended.

>>1794695 Still mad Angel didn't have interactions with the Rock, since her moveset is based on him. Also this collab got both Japs and Mexicans angry

>>1797763 I'm astounded fall guys is still somehow active as a game

>>1797905 The only things I really remember about Fall Guys >it had a strangely large amount of porn >it was shot in the back of the head gangland execution style by AMOGUS

>>1797905 >>1797910 A mobile ripoff also went over it due to being more accessible. Even I played it with my nephews. >it had a strangely large amount of porn May I ask how you know of this?

I made a post here almost 5 years ago finishing a complete playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. Spent the last 3 weeks playing and got 182 hours on this current playthrough. The reason I put in so much time while playing this is half of it was Phantom Liberty but also with the new 2.31 patch out, I wanted to see what the patched game was like after that 1.0 launch. Overall, the game is more "Stable" but there are still alot of bugs. NPCs will glitch out, had two hard freezes in menus, regular crashes and my GTX 4060 was heating up something warm while playing even on high. Those DLSS and Raytracing settings didn't really do anything. None of these stopped my progress with any quests but still, getting an instant 5 star wanted level just because I looked at a cop wrong was a highlight. The new content really isn't anything to write home about. They've technically added everything seen in the 2018 trailer, Vehicle Combat, the NCART metro. They even added an on foot radio that was a really popular mod before the 2.0 patch. The Edgerunners stuff will age poorly I think but Rebecca's shotgun is great. Another thing added was the ability for Judy or Panam to stay over at one of V's multiple apartments. This was even expanded upon as a mod in the form of text messages. There was one text message from Panam to V that's better than her entire character arc in the story because it's in V's nature. And then there's Phantom Liberty. And Yes, it's about as bad as I thought it would be. Basic plot is So Mi, a Netrunner with Madam Prez of the NUSA, intentionally crashes the plan in Dogtown. The entire plot is trying to get her back because she promised V a cure. It's really contrived in it's drama and in the end you're forced to kill "THE GAME IS FIXED" if you want to save her. When Madam Prez is clearing a room for example, yes, you just sit back as the VIP clears the room before the toughened Merc who can take down 3 MaxTac teams. You know the entrance to Dogtown was heavily guarded. 6 turrets about 2 dozen people. I slaughtered them all because So Mi suggested I use stealth and they were rude. And yet here I am having to be babysat. Again, the writing is so forced with it's drama, there's no RPG aspect at all. The Tower ending sucks. "You survive but everyone ghosts you, can't even use cyberware anymore." Yet, they somehow managed to regrow an organic brain in 2 years that completely rejects Cyberware. The more you think about it, the more stupid it gets. That should be the tag line of the game. Why can't Alt just reprogram the Relic's Nanites to accept V's engram? Why is there always some negative tradeoff with the ending? Why did they accept western writers to help with this series knowing it'd turn out like this. And that leaves us with the future. Witcher 4 is coming on Unreal because too many people have left for RedEngine to be viable anymore. There's also Project Orion, Cyberpunk 2. Most of the core team for that moved to Boston. No I'm not kidding. So you can see the trajectory of the company from here. Witcher 1 was a love letter to the books, Witcher 2 was the expansion of the lore and studio. Witcher 3 was refinement but getting to big. It's that edge of RPG and Action. And Cyberpunk is where they got too big and as a result is this bloated mess. The best way I can describe 2077 now after having been through it completely is it feels like a parody of an actual RPG. That 2013 trailer was the real game in another timeline and as a result, we got this facsimile of one. One that's ultimately worse and not worth your time, with the downward trajectory CDPR is on. I did enjoy some of the music mods though, 93.7 Outrun Waves being made by the Argentine Synthwave community is a standout. Fleek sums it up if you don't want to read my rambling: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=mV0DTK5iJW4

>>1800283 >That 2013 trailer was the real game in another timeline I still remember the first time I saw the trailer, felt like one of those evolutionary, 'next gen' moments, it looked so intriguing, like the Blade Runner of my generation. I was hyped up for it for years, funny how I still haven't played it yet. Like the way you put it, I want to play what they showed in 2013, not this boring-world, Nvidia advertisement of a game.

>>1797913 >May I ask how you know of this? Only reason I knew was because anons would spam it when it was being shown during industry events.

>>1800283 >Cyberpunk is where they got too big and as a result is this bloated mess >That 2013 trailer was the real game in another timeline I have a feeling that the 10 year development cycle was caused by them completely scrapping the original game and making a new one instead sometime halfway hence it being so broken despite the long development time and constant overtime with a big team of people working on it, not to mention the political commissars they brought in

>>1800464 >10 year development cycle was I don't think CR fully worked on the game for 10 years, rather they made a quick trailer to generate buzz, both from investors and fans, then let a skeleton partially work on it, while almost everyone else was working overtime on Witcher 3, then on the DLC. Blood and Wine got released in 2016, so that would give Cyberpunk a 4 year dev time, complete with crunch that resulted in people quitting. It's like thinking that Bethesda has been working on Elder Scrolls VI, ever since they made that one announcement trailer, when more realistically they just worked on Fallout and Starfield, and only recently did they start working on TES VI, unless M$ forces them to do another Fallout.

>>1800464 >>1800614 IIRC, someone actually put together a timeline and figured out that the version of Cyberpunk that we got was like the third or fourth iteration of the game. Keep in mind that this isn't anything new. You can see a similar type of progression with Bioshock Infinite as story points, gameplay concepts, and locations where dropped in one game build only to be reintroduced the next. Shanty Town didn't exist in a couple of builds, Comstock was suppose to be a possible ally and much younger, Elizabeth's entire change of character, etc. Though in that particular instance, it seems more like (((Levine))) kept restarting development "H. H. Holmes style" (See the "Murder Castle": https://archive.md/HnBLj#selection-421.0-421.32 ) so that no one would actually know what the "big plan" for the game's story was (Being a call for Western civilization to commit mass suicide) as they were too focused on just trying to ship the fucking thing out the door after spending years in development and the suits getting antsy.

>>1800912 >the version of Cyberpunk that we got was like the third or fourth iteration of the game. Jesus Christ this is worse than i imagined, what was going inside the directors head when he scrapped the game multiple times? Outside pressure for vanity features? Gay tracing?

>>1800966 Is it even the same director throughout all iterations? A mess of those proportions sounds like something that would pass multiple hands

>>1800912 Half Life 2 went through at least 3 iterations (leak, the one that was going to include Lost Coast and what we got). Such things are quite common.

>>1800912 >Elizabeth I remember the fags complaining that elizabeth showed too much cleavage at Infinite's first reveal & development

>>1800966 It's not all that uncommon, and also depends how early in development those versions get scrapped. Halo 1, was supposed to be an RTS at some point for instance. Probably the best example of a good game that came out of development hell is Nioh 1. The short version, is that it started as a Kurosawa movie script, then as a standard JRPG, then as a Dynasty Warrior clone, then it became a Ninja Gaiden clone, until it settled into what we got. That's like 13 years of development hell, with each version getting completely scrapped after about 3-4 years of development.

>>1800283 >The Tower ending sucks. "You survive but everyone ghosts you, can't even use cyberware anymore." Yet, they somehow managed to regrow an organic brain in 2 years that completely rejects Cyberware. The more you think about it, the more stupid it gets. >That should be the tag line of the game. Why can't Alt just reprogram the Relic's Nanites to accept V's engram? Why is there always some negative tradeoff with the ending? Why did they accept western writers to help with this series knowing it'd turn out like this. I lurked/posted in the Cyberpunk2077 /vg/ thread when it first came out for several months, stopped, then again when Edgerunners released and then Phantom Liberty. Even before Edgerunners, if anyone dare suggest a more decent ending for V, like just getting to live normally, they'd tell you to go watch a Disney movie and that the cybperpunk genre always had shitty, or at least bittersweet, endings. I can't really refute those statements because before that most of what I've seen was Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Snatcher(A Hideo Kojima game), Deus Ex, and part way through Neuromancer. Maybe some more I can't really remember. I peaked at Neuromancer's last page and it seemed like it was leading to the bittersweet side. The others didn't seem to have endings that were just shit for the protagonist. That should make the arugment fall apart, but who knows. Maybe more of the genre has more darker endings. Maybe it's a Polish thing. Maybe it's because that's how Cyberpunk's lore has been, but not all of it. Maybe those posters were just deranged. PL came out and people were making posts on how shit it was, and you got the same people screaming "Go watch a Disney movie for a happy ending!", as if anyone wanting an ending in V's favor meant suddenly any deaths or wrong doings were reversed. Hell, some of those posters thought, and hoped, Lucy committed suicide at the end of Edgerunners because her being alive was simply "too happy" despite most of her friends and lover being dead. I will play the devil's advocate a little in that I'm pretty sure there's an "accept fate" theme to the story. I'm almost sure some of the writers have made comments about this. And that people wanting to ghost you after a 2 year time skip makes sense as it seems more like V ghosted them. I can't remember if V tells anyone besides the choice lover that he'll be gone for like a month or two, only to come back 2 years later. You'd still think there would be someone who'd ask where V's been and welcome him back, but oh well. Maybe he'll make friends at the water cooler. >>1800966 You should see what the first iteration of STALKER was suppose to be.

>>1802357 People who insist everything has to have a bad ending are usually just pseudo intellectuals. >MUH GAYREEK TRADJEDY, IT'S SOOPER DEEP

>>1802367 That and ironically they usually complain they want bad endings because everything has a good ending, yet bad/bittersweet endings seem to be more common place these days. I think they just conflate the idea of a good ending with modern children media where all the bad stuff is magically reversed, and can't consider there can be a good ending where that doesn't happen but it's still good for the protagonist and others. I think the cool kids call it "nuance" these days. They're also unhappy little shits.

>On Comp Sci class >Substitute Prof mentions he made work for videogame dev company >Think that's pretty cool and check game >EGS Exclusive >Card battler >Block chain shit >EA I guess its better than nothing but shiet.

>>1803119 If you ever see him again, tell him he's a huge fucking disappointment.

>>1803119 OverKnights?

>>1803119 Did he at least admit that he only did it for the money or to afford groceries or does he genuinely enjoy making shit?

>>1803119 >made work So he just gave them more problems to deal with? Good for him.

>>1803148 Ye >>1803142 >>1803189 >>1803317 He's not the main dev, just did some debbuging or so.He told me game dev is not his main thing but I do see his name on the dev page tho. But it does give some perspective about these trash games being done for people trying to have something on their portfolio.

The wait for a specific game has gotten so bad that typing out "2hu laby 3" on google actually gets me to the page of said game. And said game is still not out. This is my personal silksong at this point.

>>1808455 >autism simulator No I already have imageboards. And my life.

>>1802120 Given how Nioh's sequel/successors have turned out I'm now inclined to believe that it was shear fucking accident that it ended up as great as it was. It's like they bumbled into a great game and have no clue that they did nor how to replicate it.

>>1802042 Shit like that makes me want to lewd her even more in AI. >>1800912 Check out Resident Evil 4's development history. Many such cases.

>>1820957 But is it Fun? >>1821947 I always heard about nignogs that hoard 100+ purchased games yet they refuse to play any of them. You'd think giving out money would be enough to compromise yourself, then again im a thirdie.

>>1823145 Hoarding things is a different hobby from actually experiencing them. In bookfag circles there's also monkeys that hoard books without reading them. Same with music and vinyl/normal CDs. Same with manga/LNs and their respective books. In the west not so much, but in japan the same happens with anime BDs. Retards buying steam games in bulk and never playing them isn't a new concept they also tend to buy on steam sales for cents so it's not THAT much money wasted.

>>1822598 >in case an angry white girl suckerpunched Why are you playing a girl? Are you gay?

>>1823779 >spoilers Haha... Lol...

>>1823784 >Why are you playing a girl? For the same reason most men pick female characters in vidya, cause I like women and seeing them kick ass is awesome. (There's also the fact she is a character of mine that was in dire need to a rewrite, so I picked her for a creative exercise). >Are you gay? Lol, of course not. And funny you mention it when the actual gay person in the group plays jacked men almost exclusively lmao. To be fair, in roleplay, one thing is who you are and a different one is who your characters are; normally you make a dissociation between the two and the result is different people with different behaviors and just a few parallel between. It really isn't as much of a big deal as it may seem... unless you let your characters eat your identity, but you got to have a weak mind for that, I know very well who I am. ...Besides, everyone in campaign plays whatever, male and female, so who cares lol.

Okay, so let's say I hypothetically drew my own waifu and I kinda fell in love with her along the way but i gotta be an adult so i gotta push her to the wayside, hide away all the drawings I made about her, get a gf, then get married and give it a honest shot or whatever and then she cheats on me and/or we get divorced Will having the hypothetical waifu make the whole ordeal less painful (given that it happens) or should I not have the waifu to begin with

Nintendo out of nowhere released an animated short that appears to have no relation to video games. There's a lot of speculation what this is about or if it's just Nintendo demonstrating their home grown animation team.

>>1825588 And we all know what happened to him.

>>1825842 It's obviously Pikmin. You can literally see them crawling around in the background at 1:38.

>>1825160 If he'd married his niece none of that would have happened. Conclusion: draw your waifu and find a gf that looks like her. My dad did that, he has a movie waifu and when you look at my mom's pictures when she was younger she looks just like his waifu.

>>1825842 I cried. Why did I cry? Nintendo, what the fuck.

>>1825842 Cute.

>>1825902 Why would a cute animation about a toddler having fun with its imagination while pikmins(?) smuggle stuff out of there make you cry? You need to stop drinking, Anon.

>>1825902 >Why did I cry? You have long forsaken all opportunities of fatherhood and having a family that came or would have come your way, or you never had those opportunities to begin with. This is how your lament surfaces.

>>1823918 I was just joking and I wasn't really expecting an answer, but I might as well pick up the conversation. > For the same reason most men pick female characters in vidya, cause I like women and seeing them kick ass is awesome. Except that here you don't really see your character, so that doesn't really apply here. It's funny, when a game gives me premade characters I like picking the girl, but when I get to make my own character it always seems wrong, so I just end up making an idealized version of myself (basically myself with good hair). Creating a character that's supposed to be me, but making it a girl always feels weird. It's not that I cannot create female characters (pic related is my pawn from Dragon's Dogma), it's just that playing one as the main character feels feels weird. > To be fair, in roleplay, one thing is who you are and a different one is who your characters are; normally you make a dissociation between the two and the result is different people with different behaviors and just a few parallel between. It really isn't as much of a big deal as it may seem... unless you let your characters eat your identity, but you got to have a weak mind for that, I know very well who I am. Maybe the problem is with me, that I was never into role-playing an actual character, I'm just running around and doing whatever gets the job done at the moment. That could be the reason why I always see myself in the game, because I am still conscious of the fact that I'm playing the game rather than let myself embrace the story. > And funny you mention it when the actual gay person in the group plays jacked men almost exclusively lmao. I always felt like the jacked-up muscle man type was a gay fetish.

>>1826037 >Maybe the problem is with me There is nothing wrong, with just doing an idealized self insert, but whether you are writing/imagining stories, or doing several campaigns, at some point you might want to try something different. It's kinda like how a good writer, won't just make every single character in his book, his self-inserts, including the villain and love interest. If you are interested in role-playing as other characters, I think a good starting trick, is to imagine that you are role-playing as some other pre-established character. Let's say you like Geralt of Rivia from the Witcher series, and try to imagine how such a character would function and behave in a Cyberpunk world. You are also free to imagine, such a character getting transported into the Cyberpunk setting, or an equivalent of Gerralt that was born in such a world, only that he got implants, instead of whatever was done to create a Witcher. Or if it's already a cyberpunk world, try to do Motoko from Ghost in the Shell. A classic example for wizards if Gandalf, but Saruman could work just as well, or maybe some mage from Discworld. For a bard you could do Jack Sparrow, for a barbarian you could do Conan and so on. It doesn't have to be perfect, and sometime you will do some projections, but it is a fun exercise to imagine how such a character would behave, especially when they didn't have to face something like that in one of their pre-established adventures. As you roleplay these characters and get the hang of it, you can start inventing your own characters that are neither a self-insert, nor a carbon copy of some other pre-established character.

>>1825842 Looks like an extremely sophisticated pajeet AI slop kids youtube video.

>>1823784 >>1826037 Blog alert here's my personal take on this when I play games (vidya or tabletop) I very rarely self insert. I do it in a few games like Dark Souls, Pokemon and Minecraft where I try to act in the game as I would IRL even if I know doing otherwise would make my play easier. An example of this is not stealing from other characters or not enslaving villagers in Minecraft. But most of the time I try to roleplay characters that are different from me and try to stick closely either to their lore or whatever headcannon I come up with on the spot to try to "write" characters that seem interesting to me. I loved playing a halfling with in Pathfinder, a zealous Imperial Priest of Mara (that puts necromancers, vampires and adulturers to death), a CG thief that only steals from the rich, and the same goes for evil characters. What I enjoy the most is having to exercise empathy and understand fictional characters in order to come up with motivations and, fears, hopes, etc that make sense beyond the need to loot everything, max every stat and complete the game. I played a female alchemist in Skyrim that was scared of being on the front line and always tried to run away from fights, only using summons and familiars as distractions to be able to run away. It's another way to discover the game and there isn't an ounce of self-insert or roleplaying as a cute girl in it, so befriending Mjoll and using mercenaries (and modding) became mandatory to clear dungeons and even for quests. Finding myself in games with horny self-inserting nerds whose character's every trait and action is governed by coomer logic is what made me stop playing with other people tbh. >I always felt like the jacked-up muscle man type was a gay fetish. Before quitting we had a guy in our group who played a jacked monk and I know for a fact he wasn't gay. The character still suffered from the player's fantasized persona of being a tough guy who can backflip behind you and break your neck with one hand so it's not always a gender thing.

>>1826037 >Except that here you don't really see your character, so that doesn't really apply here. It does, not in the same way visual medias do, obviously, but given how roleplaying works, you still do see your characters. Think of it as reading a book, you can't see the characters visually, but as your mind voices the lines and pictures the characters act, as well how they look, you draw a mental picture that is engaging. In roleplay you partake in that picturing directly by dictating how characters act and feel towards certain situations. >Maybe the problem is with me, that I was never into role-playing an actual character That is fair, in most games the amount of roleplay you do is fairly minimal and it's mostly tied to either event flags or your own moral comfort, so you're always self-conscious about playing a videogame. Tabletop is a different beast because the amount of roleplay is commonly very high and your characters are always engaging in something, plus your actions always have variable consequences that can turn the tides of the progression completely. (Like that one time my group went to do some negotiations with a BBEG-associated guy and given the characters had an emotional bias against the BBEG we all collectively fumbled the negotiation because it was the logical thing to do for the characters... and in turn the main city was reduced to rubble). >I always felt like the jacked-up muscle man type was a gay fetish. lol, yeah. At least this guy does write them very well, so much we are all fond of two of his characters. >>1826051 Anon puts it well too, if you want to understand roleplay, the best way is to pick a pre-existing character and assimilate their identity and behavior for the sake of a creative exercise. Find yourself in a situation and think to yourself "What would this fellow say/do about this?" Personally I am accustomed to roleplay because it's a given for character creation, writing and storytelling. >>1826604 Finding myself in games with horny self-inserting nerds whose character's every trait and action is governed by coomer logic is what made me stop playing with other people tbh. Would you elaborate on that? Just who the hell have you been playing with? Damn... Everyone in my group is pretty level-headed in both roleplay and mechanics and we play our characters without dwelling into weird territories... Heck, the most tomfoolery comes from us memeing about our characters and making a comedy out of them and our campaigns (like how we're in the process of making the BBEG serve an eternal sentence of working retail for a time god in a hellish realm my group dubbed "17-Eleven").

been thinkin bout that disgaea 1 in my library. should I dust it off?

>>1829737 Sure fag, go ahead. Has an ok story and not that much grinding autism compared to the later games. Enjoy the shit repetitive leveling and the massive amount of restarts if you want to do the post story stuff. But I must say that having to ask other random people on the internet if you should play a game instead of doing out of personal interest is a big tell that maybe you should consider either another genre or another hobby altogether.

>>1829775 etna was too sexy it made it impossible for me to focus on the game so I had to drop it, but I think I'm a changed man who can at least not be distracted by the fact she's half naked today. What would constitute a good disgaea anyways, or is there no good entry?

>>1829828 I played Disgaea 2 on the psp way back when, really solid entry and has a ton of cool stuff to it. Just don't fuck with the item world very much for your sanity.

>>1829828 >What would constitute a good disgaea anyways, or is there no good entry? It really doesn't matter unless you play a good one, then you will be unable to stand the dogshit ones. QRD: 1: Average but pretty revolutionary back then, weak start but decent middle and ending, gameplay really suffers from lack of modern QOL but otherwise it's fine. 2: Basically 1 but better, one of the best entries gameplaywise and storywise. 3: Actual dogshit in terms of gameplay, meh story. 4: Depending on your tastes it's either the worst plot or the best plot, and it all hinges on how you see fuka, gameplaywise it's one of if not THE best right behind 5 and arguably even better than 5 in some aspects. DD2: A complete fucking disaster storywise and gameplay wise, it introduces a lot of decent QoL that will make 5 better but on it's own it's mediocre at best. 5: Basically 4 but better in terms of gameplay and THE best so far depending on who you ask, the story however is a rather weak fart and at best passable shounenshit, at worst actively fucking obnoxious, in terms of QoL is also the most polished disagaea has ever been without dumbing the game down. 6: Another complete fucking disaster and NIS' start of their death spiral, storywise calling it so bad that the game legitimately improves if you skip all non-tutorial dialogue is an understatement, and gameplaywise it changes things up for a meme level 99999999 mechanic that basically just pointlessly adds 3 extra zeroes to everything without actually rebalancing the game to make it work, on top of that the game literally incentivizes you to use their macro auto system that makes it literally farm for you and play itself. 7: Haven't played it but heard is at least not a disaster.

Everytime I listen to this something weird happens to my eyes, it's hard to explain.

>>1826037 I could never get into vidya with female characters and I'd create my parties in Might & Magic, Icewind Dale and games like that to be all male and so did all my friends but one of my mate's older brother would play some games with female characters and he said that he sees the player character as a puppet and we see them as costumes. It's all about roleplay of whatever vs. immersion of your avatar. The gay discourse all over the web around the topic is some of the gayest shit I've ever read.

>>1829775 I tried disgaea years ago but dropped it almost instantly when I found out you need to grind just to beat normal levels, LONG before the post game even begins. What a piece of shit.

>>1833073 Sounds more like a horror harem series where you have to pick one woman out of a group of monster women who will kill you if you refuse them with the one you choose being the only person that can defend you. That sounds like a super fun concept. How would the gameplay work out? Last image is really spooky. "'DO NOT OPEN IT!"'

Is it worth to jailbreak a PS4?

>>1837238 >Wtf is this game actually? NTA, but that's King of Dragon Pass, a tribe management simulator set in Glorantha. Glorantha, meanwhile, is the convoluted fantasy setting of multiple different tabletop games, most notably Runequest, based mostly on ancient religions because the original writer was an anthropologist. It's a long story, and the devs here actually care about the lore. The same studio is still trying to make a series of six games set in consequent ages of Glorantha. They released two as of yet.

>>1837305 From what I've heard from a friend, It's decently simple if you can do it and you can make it a good emulation box if you do. Plus installing backups for ps3/4 is relatively easy. >>1837309 Interesting, I'll give it a look and see how insane it is. Seems like it can get quite silly.

>>1837305 About a third of its library is emulatable and that's rapidly increasing. If you already have one, then maybe? Personally I never used my jailbroken PlayStation and ended up feeling like it was a waste of time and money.

Sure, why not. And recently, its become ridiculously simple to apply the jailbreak since they figured a way to do it through a BD disc. So you just go get one of those discs off ebay and you're set. Also: >>905439

>>1837305 I am highly qualified to answer this question. It depends on what you want it for. If you already have one of the Wright firmware, absolutely. It's cool and fun to do if you are not completely retarded and can follow instructions, and you can do all sorts of things from just modding to install installing FreeBSD on it. Going out of your way to get one? if you had asked me this before shadps4 existed, I would say it depends on how much you love certain PS4 exclusives, but as of this writing a growing number of exclusives are playable or almost fully playable on it, such as Bloodborne, fist of the North star or the last guardian. Certain games that I consider to be essential to the catalogue such as PT currently don't run properly, but likely will soon. So overall, I would say no unless you already have one and are interested in the process. Otherwise, PS4 emulation is progressing very quickly and I'm heavily considering selling both of my jailbroken PS4s because the only reason I was ever interested in it was to mod my favorite PS4 games. Part of the reason is that it's not even entirely emulation from what I understand, it's basically a compatibility layer like wine/proton if you're familiar with Linux gaming. in short. PC chads win again.

>>1837605 >Can't wait for ps5 emula- >Oh wait it has no games actually The cancer is retroactive as well. For a long time I ignored 360 and PS3 emulation because I didn't consider the emulators to be in a good enough state to start moving my library over and dedicating storage space for downloaded .isos. Got to playing around with them over the last week and I noticed that, while searching through games, there's barely anything truly exclusive to those systems anymore either. So much of their libraries were either already on PC at the time or have gotten ports and remasters. They still have way more exclusives than modern consoles by a fucking mile and a half - but their libraries are positively anemic now compared to what they were when those systems started to go End of Life.

>>1842078 >remasters

>>1842078 >there's barely anything truly exclusive to those systems anymore >their libraries are positively anemic now compared to what they were when those systems started to go End of Life. That's because they were incredibly shortsighted. They traded short-term revenue for the long-lasting value of their consoles. Exclusives are the beating heart of any console. There's a reason why Nintendo's IPs still command so much power in the gaming market; when they do remasters, ports or remakes they always keep it to their own ecosystem. Now, Microsoft was in a bit of a weird position because they also controlled the OS that pretty much every PC gamer uses so it would be awkward to make things completely console-exclusive, but it was still retarded of them to not keep at least some games exclusive to their consoles if they wanted them to retain value. Some people love to say that companies getting rid of console exclusivity was a good thing, but if you'll notice those same people almost always own Nintendo products because they're forced to do that if they actually want to (legally) play their exclusives.

>>1842136 Funnily enough your post makes a good point even though it's just >remasters There is value in being able to play the original version of a game, especially with all the bullshit in modern remasters and remakes, especially if you don't want to deal with shit like censorship and modern (((localization))) practices.

I can only get one of them. Which one should I, and what am I in for? Btw, my fav. games are FF7, FF9 and Xenogears

Wtf is this post? Lost Odyssey obviously. Wouldn't even torrent the other two.

>>1843026 Weird post but yeah, Lost Odyssey for sure. On the other hand I would give E33 a torrent.

>>1842553 that is what i aimed to convey

Why can you only get one? Is it a constraint of time or money? Not even counting piracy, lost odyssey is pretty cheap nowadays physically and so is both metaphor and E33 if you look at key sites (30 bucks each).

merging with the lounge thread

Does anybody remember the MTG card that went viral a few years ago because it looked like the dog's dinner? The full story there never went as viral and it's bugged me ever since, so I want to get on my soapbox for a bit. The main reason it was disliked is because it looked like a 14-year-old scribbled over a photo of himself in MS Paint, but the card art was actually a physical oil painting. The full portrait was intended to look like a crudely desecrated icon piece, tying into its name "Faithless Looting". The childish flat flames against the textured painterly smoke is a metaphorical representation of the holy place burning, a juxtaposition of the ugly pointless devastation to a beautiful sacred site. It's an interesting piece with more genuine thought and artistry in it than the vast majority of throwaway key art for cards. The low resolution of most photos combined with the crop was unfortunate didn't do the piece justice. #3 is the original card it's based on. Now all that said, I won't pretend it looks the best on the card itself. While an interesting idea, it wasn't composed with the ratio or size of the card in mind, but I do believe it deserved more credit and respect than it got. Thank you for reading my unprompted apologia for a forgotten years old controversy (/ω＼)

>>1842078 >Got to playing around with them over the last week and I noticed that, while searching through games, there's barely anything truly exclusive to those systems anymore either. Depends on what you're looking for. On the PS3 there's JRPGs like Time & Eternity and White Knight Chronicles, shooters like THotD4 and Killzone, racers like Ridge Racer 7 and Motorstorm, and games that never received a PC release like Warriors: Legends Of Troy, Enchant Arm, The Darkness, Splatterhouse, and Wet. Not to mention all the games like Transformers Devastation where the only way you can even buy and own the game anymore is getting the 360/PS3 version. Not to mention the case of PC versions being loaded with technical problems like Deadly Premonition or lacking content that was present in it's console versions like with Burnout Paradise. >So much of their libraries were either already on PC at the time Yes, available on PC through storefronts were you do not own the games you are playing. If the internet crashed right now, how would I go about playing Binary Domain or Killer Is Dead? >or have gotten ports and remasters. You mean inferior ports and remasters that make the games look ugly and censor content for modern sensibilities, when not adding content that breaks the game and was never meant to be there in the first place. This has effected everything from the Demon's Souls remake to the Yakuza remasters to the DAH remakes to Catherine to even Capcom's fighting game collection.

Dead rape victim coming to a store near you

>>1851624 Can't wait to drill a hole into her pelvis!

>>1851624 There's a lot of annoying discourse bouncing around about this, from "WRONG ORGAN LITERALLY SUPPORTING SA????" to "ughhhh Mouthwashing shouldn't have had a fandom people can't be normal about fictional characters this is actually totally normal and cool". I think it's just a weird product. Why would I want an OD'd rape victim and her pills of choice between the gunpla and anime figures on my shelf ? It's not "offensive" or anything but it feels fantastically poor taste, I'm not sure what the idea was.

>>1842908 Expedition 33, if only because you can get Lost Odyssey from any ISO site and emulate it. Hell, come to think of it, Expedition 33 had a GOG release so it's super easy to pirate if you want to go that route - leaving you with Metaphor. Now I haven't played Metaphor yet, but I'd say it's a tough call between Expedition 33 and Lost Odyssey. Both are excellent games, but Lost Odyssey will feel a lot more like the classic Final Fantasy games since it's made by Mistwalker. Also, hope you like reading. The game will occasionally just drop a chapter out of a book of short stories in your lap as your character remembers more and more of their past.The stories are generally really good from what I remember, so I had no problem with them - but I could see where it would turn a lot of people off. People complain about over-done cinematics in games these days - and this one commits the same sin, only with dropping a fucking book in your lap. Gameplay wise, both are fun, but Lost Odyssey is probably the more difficult game of the two because you have to strategize your battles a bit like you would any classic RPG - whereas Expedition 33, so long as you get your Dodge and Counter timings right, then you hardly even need to bother learning the more advanced gameplay elements since almost nothing will be able to touch you.

>>1854571 >Dead island collection I like Dead Island 1 even with all its faults. Every now and then I replay it and enjoy it, but by the end of the game I'm more than satisfied with its jankiness. That's why I never even bothered playing Riptide. >Why would anyone want that? Most "special editions" are filled with clutter that's only worth anything for reselling later on. Dead Rising 2 had two collector's editions: the "Zombrex" one that included a bunch of shit like a band aid (yes, a band aid) a ballpoint pen with blue liquid that eventually vaporizes, a brochure, a steel case, and an artbook (maybe the only two things worth it); the other one just had a zombie figurine and the game (actually worth it)

Better men have died in complete despair trying to solve this problem without destroying their ethics and convictions only to have some retards who have never known suffering or loss parade around and pretend that food and houses can appear out of fat air during a siege.

>>1855651 What are you talking about? There were lots of thieves/scammers) among the refugees (pretty much every child was a part of it), and they never intended to stay permanently with the druids if that's what you refer to, and the refugees were literally willing to kill the druids if necessary (and vice-versa) so its not like its some unqualified "good guys vs bad guys" situation outside of Kagha maybe (but then it turns out that Zevlor fucked the refugees over in act 2 so it evens out). BG3 had issues with being politically left-leaning (namely the amount of "diversity" and faggotry along with general ugliness that comes with modern western works that despise beauty) but this wasn't really one of them, especially when the tieflings don't have any of said "diversity" that the other humanoid races do.

>>1855651 >Played Baldurs Gate 3 There's your problem. It's not a Baldurs gate game nor a sequel, it's Original Sin 3 wrapped in a DnD skin.

>>1855743 It's not even original sin 3, there's no funny surface interactions or nonsense combos you can do, just 5e mechanics taped onto the skeleton of a Divinity game. >Fun fact: The huge amount of fire textures kills game performance which is why a bunch of mods will edit those.

>>1855038 I did try to apply the cracked exe's from gamecopyworld, but it didn't work, it launched once then crashed on the main menu, then continued to crash immediately after launch in subsequent tries. It's probably because I didn't move the game files out of Steam folders (didn't have the extra space to copy 100gb again).
