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

>>954406 While I'm sympathetic to game preservation, I'd much rather EU bureaucrat boomers back the fuck off from regulating fucking software development. We all know how it turns out when they start doing that. The thing is, DRM in games is a much smaller problem in 2025 than it once was. Basically, only online games are affected by "DRM", which isn't even DRM in many cases just the server being closed. Piracy already solves almost all of game preservation, it always has. If they want legal improvements for game preservation, they could start by decriminalizing that in all EU countries instead of just some of them.
>>1175159 >>1180250 theres a huge category of existing lemon laws for exactly this sort of thing, if the wording needs clarification to punish bad actor studios/publishers then that should be done. fuck preservation and restitution and all that just put these rabid animals down and send a message.

Games ruined by Touch controls / Motion controls Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 05:31:16 Id: c73d30 No. 1187833 [Reply]

>threads ruined by autism OP's
htol#niq tops the list as a kaizo deathtrap touchscreen game costing $20 on the vita that was so bad it had to come up with three control schemes. the first two control schemes demand exact timing precise pinpoint tapping on both the front and back capacitive touch screens of the vita, which you will end up fatfingering due to the jerky input, the response delay of guiding the protagonist, the input delay and lack of precision on the touchscreens, and the nature of your finger covering the screen as you guide the fireflies through insta death surface corridors. it was only much later that they added the analog stick/dpad movement and physical button presses button scheme in a later patch for the japanese version after getting numerous complaints. nobody playtested this game. it was pure artificial difficulty, the game itself wasnt that hard, and nippon icchi knew this yet sold the title because it generated playtime by fake difficulty. just a few years prior, nippon icchi introduced cladun on the psp for the shocking price of only $5 and it became a smash hit. bamco when they were a respectable company also released the another episode return of the defense force dlc expansion for god eater 2 on the psp for $10, introducing survival quests and fully voiced additional story and it was well received. so the quality of the game at the time for the price point they demanded was really unacceptable. the real title of the game is horse#shit, and nippon icchi had no business degrading themselves with flash game rubbish.
>>1187833 Gravity Rush wasn't ruined by it at all? everything can be done manually. >sliding race missions with awful steering You can literally choose the direction you're going with no pointing gestures and with the sticks? i played this recently so what are you talking about? it doesn't control poorly. I'm talking about the remaster that controls with a DS4.

>>1151593 if Sony does not start releasing exclusives how can their handheld be successful? PC handhelds would run laps around it in performance while being able to play the same games. I don't understand why they still won't understand this simple lesson.
>>1151593 It's more that all the negative chatter on the western side of Internet essentially misses the point that the Switch 2 is what people more or less expected the successor to be. Besides, online outrage and virtue-signaling has no bearing in the real world, and games were already showing signs of being more expensive across multiple platforms. I'm also someone who bought Japanese imports back when the yen wasn't anywhere as weak as it is nowadays, so the idea there aren't people willing to spend a little more than usual for their personal hobbies is rather silly. Third-party support on Switch 2 is looking much better than what the Switch 1 had during its first direct, with titles that people from both the West and Japan want to play instead of simply the basic indie games, which makes it a far more promising console than the Switch was on release (as just the bing bing wahoo machine). I don't doubt the mediocre performance of the PS5 (especially in the JP market) certainly played an influence, whereas the PS4 was still enjoying a good popularity in the late 2010's. If certain Japanese third-parties still refuse to properly support the Nintendo ecosystem, it'll be a lot easier to prove it as a personal bias this time rather than the old excuse of hardware power.
I'm waiting until there's definitely a new Monolithsoft game on the near horizon before getting an S2.

Its fun, its free, its pvp, its being constantly updated. If you wanna play X Y Z that's fine, if you are struggling to find something to do and your bored, you should give this a shot. If you dislike it you can just uninstall it and not lose anything in the process.

>>1169044 Its 1000 to get the pass and you get 1500 if you complete it by hitting level 100 (very easy to reach) You can get v bucks for free by playing the game. I think you can get 300 per season for free so it would take 4 seasons to get the v bucks for free, and then you can just max out each pass and keep an endless loop going for free. If you dont wanna wait that long you have to bite the bullet and buy 1000 bucks for 9$. This is just the way it is for a game that is free, if they dont make money somehow the game wouldnt exist, and since its a live service they could do monthly subs I guess? I like this way more. V bucks are useless beyond cosmetics and the game itself is worth playing even with default skins.
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Raven team leader... honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the golden scar, and that gorgeous ass. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great wife and mother, sometimes I even call you mommy. I forever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left the Fortnite shop and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your Victory Royale on the new map, because deep down, my glorious Queen deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby girl came home and I rejoiced. 2023 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2024 you made history happen. You came back from not being on the shop and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious Queen exclaim use the new Peter Griffin emote and throw it back. Not only have you changed the game of Fortnite and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious Queen, Raven Team Leader.

The Video Game Industry is imploding Anonymous 02/29/2024 (Thu) 18:35:05 Id: 0c7012 No. 940732 [Reply] [Last]
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. sources: https://archive.ph/YI6OK https://archive.is/ZzK5C https://archive.ph/3z9RF

The Wheel has turned once again Necromancy Edition Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher. The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3400 units, 1100 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them. It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep. Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game. >Our pastebin (extremely outdated) https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y >Steamgroup https://steamcommunity.com/groups/vanheimageofvidya >Multiplayer guide >Blitzserver (game hosting service) https://blitzserver.net
