What's a good source for older Blizzard games? I am only interested in Warcraft and Starcraft games' singleplayer components. I only was able to find Warcraft 1 & 2 from fitgirl as far as reputable uploaders go. Warcraft 3 reforged seems to be easier to find than the old version for some odd reason. SC2 torrents I was able to find so far miss newer DLCs and updates.

I have a Custom Sound Track version of MvC2 for the OG Xbox. I think it was made in 2008 based on the file dates. I would like to archive it for nostalgia and posterity's sake, where would be the right place for that? This was the only version of MvC2 I played back in the day. When the MvC collection got announced, I got inspired to go and find this burnt disc I had just sitting around for years. For anyone curious, these are the songs I was able to figure out the titles too when just listening to each stage's music. >Opening - Wake Up - Rage Against the Machine >Character Select - New Noise - Refused >Training Room - Guerrilla Radio - RatM >Desert - Come To Daddy "some mix of it" - Aphex Twin >Swamp - Funky Dealer - JSRF >Air Ship - Bubbles - System Of A Down >Cavern - some rock remix of Batman NES Streets of Desolation >2nd phase of Final boss - Grace & Glory - JSRF I played this specific version of MvC2 so much, this simply IS the soundtrack to me. Unfortunately, the Xbox Emulators XEMU or CBXE Reload aren't currently in a state where MvC2 is fully functional, so the only way to play this properly would be to have a modded Xbox console I suppose. If there is some community or website out there that would be interested in this, I'd like to upload it there.

>>985429 Physical discs. I've still got my battle chests for WC3 and Starcraft right here on my bookshelf.

>>985077 Wouldn't anyone who believed that tripe change their tune to robots bad due to "AI stealing work from artists"?

Reminds men that the newest not-Souls game has a robot loli enemy that doesn't appear near enough.

>>970087 >>970091 X1 Alpha my beloved

>>985275 Nipponese people finally abandoning snoystation is great for the industry. Very well-deserved too.

>>984406 Remember a few months back when the CEO,or former one I forgot, had this "out of the blue" idea "while playing" that gamers should tip the devs

>>985265 Don't forget the oldest lie in the industry: >"muh fastest selling game" Which is always proven to be a lie, with manipulated numbers used to deceive retards/investors. >Consoles are already dead Yes.

>>985259 >better at it than a PS or Xbox I know its easy to make dumb comparisons, but the Deck is literally 800p and runs on a fucking APU, on top of being nearly the same cost as a PS5/Xbox as its cheapest model with getting basically no storage or accessories (including a dock). The specs are not comparable. Nobody is getting a fucking Steam Deck compared to even a flopped Xbox or PS. You're right about people generally switching to PC (and by extension, Steam) though and your other criticisms about them are otherwise spot-on, but anything regarding the Deck being an actual, relevant competitor to any of the big 3 as of yet is just delusion. Maybe in another 10 years or so it might start to become something of note, but definitely not any time soon.

>>985259 >Switch still wins on all these fronts, but the hardware isn't as powerful As a personal opinion, anyone who bitches about that being a "legitimate" problem can fuck off for all I care. I'm tired of companies chasing this "endlessly pushing technology" meme when all the games we're getting are just rereleases of games from 10-25 years ago. The Switch is more than powerful enough to play those games. So considering the system to be a "limitation" tells me everything I need to know, that these developers cannot program for shit, which also indicates that they likely won't release a good game worth playing. >Who could do that? The "quiet" part about releasing a game console that very few people consider is the tens of millions that have to spent on R&D. Not in regards to the system specs, but designing things like a functional controller, system UI, and even meeting various government regulations. It doesn't help matters that the EU pushes through regulations in the tech industry at the drop of a hat, intending to harm Apple but wrapping around and kneecapping everyone else from being able to compete.

>>985276 I don't own a Steam Deck and was just being generous. I assume it's more plug n play than most stuff that plays Steam, and that covers basically any game someone would want on PS or Xbox. That's the point. Without exclusives, those brands have nothing. They're chasing third party AAA shit, and even if that's what you want, other options are becoming more normalfag friendly.

>>985359 Maybe? Never actually played more than about an hour or two of any of them. I was always more a fan of Wizardry, and by fan of Wizardry - I mean I played that one nip Wizardry game that had nothing to do with the rest of the franchise. At least Andrew doesn't go around wearing a cape and crown while insisting people call him "Lord Greenburg of Cornell".

>>985217 FFTA Damn the plot is shit in that game considering how great the gameplay is. Even though the gameplay is a noticeable step down from the original FFT, it's still great. And that was certainly due to the limits of the GBA compares to the PS1. I wish the game had mission packs or something available. I played it until there was just no more juice left in that orange and I was still thirsty.

Isn't Touhou technically an isekai for Green Reimu and Gap Hag?

>>983888 so did anyone try it yet?

>>984189 NGH?

>>984714 this really is the greatest game i have ever played

>>985188 Is it so different that I should consider playing through the JP version even if I completed the US version in full?

>>985277 Yes, Japan has branching story, and some missions removed in the american version

>>985277 Yeah, same applies for the opposite situation, the US / EU version just plays better even if it lacks the story.

>>974787 No, he just likes posting pictures of his asshole on halfcucks /pol/. And also on our /b/ and /vb/. Apparently he's also jewish, hates goyim whites, and hates trump. Other than that idk and idc. He crazy and he spams. Also he's a heretic, which isn't illegal but should be.

>>974771 >Or even worse they've been using ESG to fuck with products in Japan, the only silver lining is that all the free games means that unless your game is actually good most people will just stick to there free gaas slop so all these esg dumpster fires are burning money.

>>950740 That's why I just go offline on steam and play through the game before refunding if it seems shit. Eventually you can just look at a game and feel if its shit though, if others can't then that's on them.

benis?

>>984577 Meme dev with well made shmumps while they were active.

>>985177 I'm a small time scrub as well. But i admited that a long time ago and now i just enjoy this games at my own pace.

Cotton! I just got the CE of Saturn Tribute, I know the ports are shit, but I just needed to get the high res versions of the art from 2 and Boomerang, not to mention the tiny Cotton figure is just the cutest! I hope we get to see gameplay of RnR2 eventually. High Tension seems promising but they've hardly shown off anything besides a few screenshots. >>984577 I think they're great even if I haven't cleared any of their games yet, Deathsmiles is really fun, I love the gothic horror elements that get contrasted with the cute girls, it feels like a homage to Cotton.

>>984551 In SF1 you can get only a single form depending on which version of the game you're playing. My favorite is Pegasus. The card will appear during combat... But you probably figured that out on your own by now. In SF2 and SF3 you can have more at the same time.

>>985141 The mod in question does let you grab the other forms, but its a post-game thing without multiplayer.

>>984944 >>The accuracy of Flame Revolver weapons went from B to B+

>>985041 What my Japanese source didn't mention, unlike on the wiki, is that the Flame Revolvers were granted a buff in minimum damage. Also the new rule for gatling guns (immediately fire but takes time to reach full ROF) applies to the Fencer's flamethrowers too.

>>984943 >All those energy use nerfs to WD Seriously what the fuck. I hope at least all WD weapons start out fully stocked rather than needing to be charged everytime you want to fire cause my fingers hurt playing her

It's surreal seeing a game like this becoming so well known.

>>985121 Its literally the same experience as reading a manga while listening to music.

>>985124 I like the ones with branching paths, like a CYOA. Especially if they include that little branching diagram at the end so you can see all the paths and which endings you haven't unlocked yet.

Recently finished the game, here's my thoughts on it: Its a great game, as expected of Vanillaware. There are some flaws and things that could have been better of course, largely to do with the writing more than anything else, but I highly recommend it to anyone who even slightly enjoys this kind of game. >Gameplay Outstandingly fun, though I can't help but wonder if part of it ended up sacrificing story aspects for its incredible freedom to approach the game. Somehow, exploring the overworld and doing shit like mining and treasure-hunting was actually fun and enjoyable, which I did not expect at all. The level of customization for combat is shocking for a game like this, though I wish there was a tactics option for Rosalinde and Eltolinde with the number of fairies, because its not like you can predict the exact number of actions they will take if they perform actions such as healings. The game starts out pretty difficult in the early stages (and at the beginning of each arc with a difficulty spike), but you eventually get so many tools, resources, abilities, and customization/freedom to do things the way you want that it eventually starts getting pretty "easy". Though that's a weird way to put it. I played it on Expert, and I pretty much never lost except once or maybe twice by accident when I wasn't paying attention. Doesn't mean it wasn't difficult mind you, but the game gives you a lot to handle everything. I didn't use 90% of my consumable resources and I cleared the game without issue, though I do have a decent amount of experience with tactical/strategy games at this point. So many fun mechanics and stuff. The colliseum was a good time. I beat Amalia pretty early on, and I beat Gerard at low-level 30s which was nice. There was so much to find and/or unlock in this game, figuring out and fine-tuning combat was generally a blast, especially with all the items and abilities and whatnot. It is interesting to see how much my squads changed over the course of the game (and how much they didn't too) >Aesthetics and Presentation Vanillaware is above reproach. Most of the characters in this game are at least A-tier designs by Vanillaware standards. However, I do wish they had more S-tier character designs in this game, like what you'd see in Dragon's Crown or Muramasa. You could tell they were constrained by the nature of the game (having to make "standard" characters since you had to control and fight whole damn armies), and maybe the fact that Kamitani wasn't at the head of this game also influenced that. Still, Vanillaware made some incredible stuff as they usually do. The artwork was beautiful as a whole. Animations were good, though a lot of attack styles were pretty standard. I wish there was more flash to them, akin to GBA Fire Emblem animations if possible. >Music Was good. Could have been better but it was fine. I can't complain from what I remember. >Plot/Story writing

>>958153 this. you have A waifu. Not waifus. Polygamy is degeneracy

>>962159 Somebody had to bump this shit thread, of course. Trying to fulfill this prediction. Great fleshlight by the way

>>985107 >Slowly loads >Saw the shoulders <Immediately recognize the the artist <Knew this image was going to have a dick >Sure enough, there's a dick How fucked up do I have to be to almost instinctually notice this?

>>985109 >recognize the artist It's AI-generated, retard.

I wanna get back into actually playing some damn vidya and wished to buy something on sale on Steam. I have only three main caveats: 1) The game must be multi-player focused, justifying a purchase rather than a pirate, and not any of that Game as a service bullshit 2) The game must be a beefy single player experience that actually justifies a purchase, i.e. hours of content, multiple side modes, healthy modding scene and most importantly an hassle to otherwise get through "alternative" means 3) Priced less than 15$ at base game, 20$ tops if includes non cosmetic, non p2w DLC Got anything worth checking out? Bundles of multiple games and DLC are fine so long as the individual titles respect these constraints

>>985081 V rising is the only thing that comes to mind, but I haven't played it myself.

>>985082 There's valheim too, but I don't know if that can be pirated or not.
