>tfw the only decent modern God Game is worldbox. This thread is to talk about the almost dead genre of God Games a simulation subgenre where you play as the almighty deity and watch shit unfold or at the very least manipulate a somewhat complex simulation to get a specific outcome. Examples include Sim Earth, Worldbox, Black and White games and some other. >Do City Builders count? Depends. I personally don't count them in the genre as I believe that God games are about manipulating a sandbox environment and watching shit unfold rather than about solving logistical challenges and city planning, but some people consider it a part of the genre. >What are the good games? EarthSim, Black and White, Wordlbox and that's about all of the ones that I could find. Galimulator is also a thing if you want to do nothing more than just watch things unfold rather than have more control over the simulation. Species is incredibly janky and also in the "watch shit unfold" category but it's a cool evolution simulator. You can change the way that things evolve by introducing different environmental challenges or fucking with their genetics to see what kind of abominations you will come across. Some people consider Spore a part of this category, I would not agree with them but if you can get over the pain of not getting the version promised to you it can still somewhat scratch the itch.

tell me which is good- java or bedrock to play minecraft in?

After years of avoiding indie games like the plague because of how cancerous the community surrounding them is, I've finally decided to give them a try. I really love the 16 and 32 bit eras of games but I've played virtually all of the ones from that period that I would be interested in to death and the only people who seem to still be making games like that are indies. But there are so many out there and I'm certain 99% of them are bad so I need your help. What are the best indie games reminiscent of old 16 and 32 bit games? I'm up for pretty much any genre, 2D or 3D, except horror and roguelikes. They don't have to look exactly like games from back then but I'd prefer something that doesn't push gay/tranny/furry/feminist pozz; at least, not explicitly. I've already tried Undertale and I didn't like it. Also, general indie games thread.

Thread for the discussion, gameplay & screencap sharing of The Sims 1, 2, 3 & 4? 1st Question: >Which Sims is the best? (1, 2, or 3?) 2nd Question: >Have any characters / families / houses to screenshot & share? 3rd Question: >Recommend any good mods? Tell any stories about your time playing The Sims™.

YOU WILL PLAY SIMS 4 FOREVER AND YOU WILL LIKE IT https://archive.ph/mrD6X This is actually old news now, having officially been cancelled last week. Seems to have gone under the radar. Their reasoning is such bullshit. >EA vice president and The Sims general manager Kate Gorman explained that rather than starting over from scratch again and 'replacing' past games, "You'll see there are more ways to experience The Sims on different platforms, different ways to play, transmedia, and lots of great offerings within this universe." EA has also stated they're not going to be making any more Sims sequels, saying they've "moved beyond" that. This broken, janky piece of trash will be the last numbered Sims title. Did you know they forked it from some scrapped web MMO, and that's why it's so feature limited?

Thread for sharing your Oekaki art of vidya characters/Locales I present you all with Smaus, the bunty hunty

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

The Sushi Ben dev posted on 4chan /v/ "Offended loser destroyed by game developer". With a .webm of a video from Twitter from the game dev making fun of the "offended loser" and blanking out his name. An Anon points out that the "offended loser" turns out to be someone who makes fun of right wingers and "chuds" and defends gender pronouns and shows proof (along with the account name) in a screen grab. Anons on 4chan notice the false flag attempts and of course, the jannies on 4chan deleted the thread, due to Anons noticing the false flag. Want proof of the false flag? Here are some archive links to go with the screenshots: Twitter thread archive through Nitter front end: https://archive.ph/h2IJU and https://nitter.poast.org/DmawDev/status/1842630765957255239 to see the videos. The Steam Thread of the Original False Flag (with the dev and false flagger thanking each other and wishing each other well) https://archive.ph/k8SPf Twitter post of someone showing the false flagger and dev interacting with each other and the dev acknowledged they interacted with each other (both through nitter): https://archive.ph/cdXxJ and https://archive.ph/rWPzz Misc: Supporters of the game saying what the dev did wasn't scummy and "doesn't matter because the "anti-woke" brainrot is everywhere these days." https://archive.ph/VntDL Twitter.com/X.com archives: https://archive.ph/roQTp https://archive.ph/SGlVO

Toys, t-shirts, kitchenware, statues, etc. If not, Is there any you would like to own but is too expensive/not worth it? If you don't know, Resaurus is a toy company from the late 90s which made toys from vidya franchises at from the time. They went bankrupt shortly after due to how high detailed these figures were compared to their prices, making them unprofitable. Because of this they will fetch very high prices in today's market.

Developers are reportedly Saber Interactive. http://web.archive.org/web/20241003133422/https://www.ign.com/articles/avatar-the-last-airbender-is-getting-a-aaa-rpg-with-saber-interactive-and-paramount-game-studios-exclusive It won't be based on either of the shows, but set in the wider Avatar universe. The MC will be a 'new' Avatar not yet mentioned in lore won't be hard, there's shockingly few namedropped for how important they are canonically. It's going to be set in the very distant past, thousands of years before where the timeline currently is.

>"We are trying to create a game that is as authentic as possible. It's something we take pride in," Onnée tells us. "And that is also a very long process. When we build a Japanese house from feudal Japan, it is very different from, say, a French medieval house or an English one. >"It's not feudal Japan, obviously, but it is good to go on site, because it is only then that we realise it is very different to what we think it is," Onnée explains. "It is very interesting, because when the team went there, one of the things that jumped out was the forests and how they are. We had made some forests based on the Greece landscape [for Odyssey], but when we went, we noticed it was very different to what we'd done, and we had to change it. You don't necessarily find that stuff out when doing historical research. Seems like Ubisoft is sticking to their lies, and are much more interested in trees than making accurate Japanese architecture and cities. https://archive.is/pp0aj https://archive.is/hsAbj

The previous thread is now anchored so it's time for a new thread all about Friday Nights and: WHATCHA' >PLAYAN >WATCHAN >LISTENAN >READAN >EATAN >DRINKAN >FAPPAN >FEELAN

This thread isn't specifically about sadness, it can be a wide range of things. Wherever you felt surprise at how good or shit a game was, anger due to something that happened in game or external factors, excitement at an unexpected announcement or at an extremely cool set piece or moment, as long as the game elicited a strong emotion out of you while playing. You can go with something that you played recently or one of your favorite games. I'll give one of my favorites, Nier Automata. It's a basic choice, but it's the first time I remember a game being able to make me react to something strongly. I had already thoroughly enjoyed the game but by the time I had gotten to Ending E and the credits sequence the game really got to me. It was amazing, the way the music was synced to the scene and how hopeful it felt after seeing so many characters die shitty deaths just really hit hard. It's the second time a game has gotten me teary eyed. Looking forward to hearing what you anons have to say!

TGS IS OVER!!! The stream schedule I found suggests the place is a desert: Only game companies to have a stream listed are Ubisoft (LOL), Microsoft, SNK, Koei Tecmo, Level-5, Capcom, Sega/Atlus, and Square Enix. I know Nintendo doesn't actually attend and just schedules directs near it, but this is barren. Not sure what the fuck Microsoft is going to be doing since they axed their Japanese studios.
