Thrive is an opensource evolution games inspired by spore and infact can trace back it's origin to sporum. Currently it's in very early development in that only the first stage is actually functional from a gameplay standpoint. The game obviously starts you off as a cell and so far simulates everything from thebplanet generation, population and evolution of different species of cells, predation and many more. The game has plans for 3d multicellular animal stages you will be avle to play as a static plant too to spacefaring civilization and to a sandbox stage where your species ascends and becomes a god. These later stages are in the game but only as prototypes. https://www.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/downloads

I guess a thread for Tarkov or whatever fotm extraction games there are -ie Hunt Showdown , Arena Breakout, Gray Zone, Dark and Darker, or Dungeonborne etc..

Is it just me or is this game kind of boring? You move slowly, the enemies aren't much of a threat and the gunplay feels very underwhelming. I'm playing on Postal difficulty because I figured it was the normal one, should I pick a harder one?

Why did arena shooters die off? Now all anybody plays for fps games is cod, apex legends, valorant, or some other garbage. If you can't find enjoyment in the gameplay aspect of a game inside of multiplayer and single player that game is shit and the only reason you like it is because you like competing with other people. I can play UT99 all day against bots and have a good time yet if I did that in a game like cod shit would be so unfun it's not even funny

Welcome All New People! With all the refugees the last thread got bumplocked pretty fast even with the new limit. Hopefully this one lasts a bit longer. So, /v/, who's your videogame waifu? Got some good art of her you simply must display? Done anything to show how much you care for that lass? Care to tell us her favorite foods and treats? Gather around and share! Or you can just talk about your favorite female charcters, if that's more your thing. Show us all why your waifu truly is the best girl!

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

Back in my day, we played this on TI-85 calculators during lectures when it was called Drug Wars.

Good ones, bad ones, quick ones, long ones, static ones, moving ones, or ones that are inventive. If you have a loading screen you find interesting, post em. Personally, I like the ones in the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game. The loading times are kinda ass even by PS1 standards but they have a great & memorable look to them (especially the wireframe preview of the level), are unique to each level, and shows you a few tasks to look at to pass the time.

I was recently reminded of some games which, in my opinion, were carried entirely by the soundtrack. Immediately the ones which come to mind are things like whatever Tim Follin produced music for, like Pictionary on the NES, but also more contemporary titles like Skyrim and Mechanicus. Then this got me thinking about the other games out there which got completely carried by some other non-gameplay related element, like the story or the art style. I'm not talking a mix of one thing or another, but something going so far and beyond the rest of the characteristics of the game that it is recognized/remembered as the sole thing the game had going for it. I suppose another example would be Little Witch Nobeta which has pretty forgettable combat and even worse aspects besides, but it remembered because it has one cute girl in it whom the devs are not afraid at all to lewd in their official merchandise and marketing. Post some other examples which spring to mind, be it for soundtrack, artstyle, or something else - as long as it doesn't pertain to the gameplay.

First things first. 6ADAE91E Now that that's out of the way, are people playing it (DRM-free day one)? Was it worth waiting for the PC release, if at all, after Remake?
