>>985030 >Prequel

>>985030 Does anyone remember a competitive online shooter set in the legacy of kain universe? It was early access and probably lasted 6 months

>>985037 Nevermind. I suddenly remembered the name. What a mess this franchise has become. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=JSWA1JpCpBo

>>984969 Ah, that makes sense then

>>984893 >>984961 thanks guys. I did some investigation myself and came to the same conclusions. might just have to go with intel this time.

>>984996 Changing platforms will be ridiculously expensive. If you have a dud CPU it should get replaced by AMD.

>>979410 They were absolutely retarded for going through with starfield. Everything about starfield was retarded. Not saying Elder Scrolls VI wouldn't be shit if they did it instead

The Wayward Realms campaign has ended, with over $700,000 from 7000 backers. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oncelostgames/the-wayward-realms/posts/4137491

>>984947 Good for them. I'm excited for the game, but I'm not going to financially back them until I see an actual finished product.

>>983338 >Crash 4 >Default playstyle is modern where the character has no life counter however one of the relics for each level is no deaths >Levels are 5+ minutes long, I think one of the levels has 18 minutes for the blue time trial relic >Besides Time Trial, introduces a inverted level gimmick and a graphical gimmick per level for extra relics >Tawna, Cortex and even Dingodile have their own levels with the same relic requirements >There's also flashback levels which are all breakable boxes only It's that rare case that the game dumped so much content that I just wanted it to be over when I got to the halfway point.

>>983301 Tribes, then and now it's still getting fucked over

Mass Effect series. The first game was not amazing or very original but was a good setup for a series that had a lot of potential. I liked the sci-fi stew settings where they were ripping off everyone but managed to make it fit in nicely. Gameplay mechanics they used were interesting as well and sort of forced you to pay attention to gear and making sure that your shots count. Then ME2 came out, and was a big success despite being clearly rushed out, with a simplified GOW game play, stupid story, and nearly every companion's character arch boiling down to daddy issues. And it only got worse in games that followed. >>983332 Only good things about DA:O were interplay between different abilities, some quest resolutions, and the unintentional comedy. Bioware kept insisting that they are trying to make a mature game with mature themes handled in a mature way. Instead, they made game with a Saturday morning cartoon plot. It's funny how their impression of mature means PG13 sex scenes where everyone has underwear on and everything being doused in buckets of blood almost constantly. >>984238 >The best part is that they genuinely believe Hideo Kojima was a (((genius))), I guess bitching and nagging to the wagecucks while regurgitating marxism on social media puts you on the spotlight. Parts of Kojima's legend are only due to his relation with the western gaming media. Right now Geoff is the most prominent one.

>>984872 >Christ I'm old. Tell me about it.

>>984872 >Christ I'm old. Same, but all the more reason to focus on things that make the happy hormone flow. Beyblade's been going on for just over twenty-five years now. The new marketing, along with remakes of the first gen beyblades, really hammers home that they're aiming for that nostalgia on purpose, too. The "beyblade day" this year had a trailer showing everyone from kids to an old chef playing beyblade.

>>984840 I've seen almost everything except Akito, and will see everything soon, that even remotely has Code Geass jammed in it like Super Robot Wars. I actually like the look of the spinoff so far. People are bitching and moaning about it not being Code Geass but that's what this new canon is for. The writers took the best possible approach to keep the integrity of the original show and it's proper decisive ending while still managing to make CG relevant with new shit coming out again. Lelouch my nigga but his story is over and I can deal with that, just interest is peaked on what this spinoff on Fagney is all about. And how exactly Lelouch doesn't just end whatever shit is happening there as well.

>>983582 This thread inspired me to put my nose to the grindstone and get really good at Game & Watch games so I could finally unlock the Zelda Game & Watch in Game & Watch Gallery 4. I thought Zelda had a Modern remake and not just Classic Mode in G&W Gallery 4, but I was wrong. A bit disappointing, since some of those remakes are really good, and actually do change things somewhat significantly (which I like, since the originals are still on there). Good game either way though. Glad I beat it. And yes, you can beat it. You might think it's repetitive, since you're going through the same labyrinth each time you beat the boss, but you do get a piece of the triforce every time, and if you complete the triforce you do get a small cutscene. It also gets harder each time you get a piece of the triforce, and by the end you are playing very differently than at the beginning. Also, one of the few (or maybe only) Game & Watch games with infinite continues. You'll lose your points and not get a high score, but you can continue until you either quit or win. And yes, I did continue many times. My highest score was like 2000 points, from getting many triforce pieces without dying, but there were certain rooms I was stuck in and had to continue many times. All in all, the Zelda Game & Watch is an excellent Game & Watch game, but it's still the worst Zelda game I've played, except for Rosy Rupeeland, which I played but didn't beat because the core mechanic of gambling was so incredibly unfun. I'm still gonna go beat that one soon, but I'll probably just use a guide (which I definitely consider cheating), because I know I hate having to guess how much money to give everybody. And yes, I'm including Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon. Are they way worse than the G&W in context of their hardware and time? Yes. But which one did I have less fun with? The G&W. Still did have quite a bit of fun though, once I finally unlocked the damn thing. Now I have to look for a way to play "The Legend of Zelda Game Watch." This is different than the Game & Watch. It's an actual wristwatch LCD game. Came out the same year, 1989, and is not by Nintendo themselves, so people say it's not as good. I still wanna try, though. It's based on Zelda 1, while the G&W is based on Zelda II. Both technically have original stories, though. So as far as I'm concerned, the Game & Watch and Game Watch (in that order) are the last entries in the timeline until Breath of the Wild. >>984543 He called it Advance. Evidently he doesn't think highly of it.

Ace Combat 5>4>0>7>6 I refuse to elaborate.

>Fallout 2 Like Fallout, but more. There's some stuff that feels out of place, like mobster town, talking deathclaws, talking plant, etc, but the Vault City/Redding/New Reno/NCR environment is well done. >Fallout More consistent than Fallout 2, and the only reason it's not first is because I prefer Fallout 2 due to it being simply more of everything. The Boneyard stuff is great, the Brotherhood of Steel are assholes who tell you to go kill yourself when you ask to join, the Water Traders are a neat group, and the Military Base is a great region on the world map. >Fallout 4 The environment is shit, the setting is absolutely braindead, the characters are retarded, the base building easily the worst part of the gameplay. Only reason it's above Fallout: Tactics is because of titty mods. >Fallout: Tactics Good tactics version of Fallout, but I don't really like tactics games. >Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel It's Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, but terribly done in the Fallout setting. >Fallout 3 >Fallout: New Vegas

>>982735 At least those features weren’t shit.

>>982667 yup https://redchanit.xyz/servers.html

For anyone here who's a mega purist about TF2 I made a server for the OG TF2 in the off-chance anybody ever plays it. I put RCbot on it so that you can have bots to play with since almost no one, if anyone, plays this version. You can download it here: https://github.com/NicknineTheEagle/TF2-Base/releases/tag/v1.03 https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/97.94.129.234:27974/ If you want a server without bots and actually hosting the other default maps there's one other server in this whole mod that's 100% vanilla, mine only runs 2fort and 2fort classic because these bots crash on capture point maps, which is all seven of the other maps which come with this lol

>>983472 >personally I consider DMC3:SE to be the perfect game This

>>984770 No

>>984770 No, the hitboxes plus lag compensation are just aids

>>984768 >By "gameplay" I don't just mean combat, I mean everything that's not watching cutscenes. I mean it's structured like your average Trails game. I'd say the tone is at least different from some of the earlier ones at least in superficial ways. You could always pirate it, plug in the fan translation and see what you think.

>>984772 I should also say the gameplay is also somewhat different as there's a pseudo action battle system in addition to turn based. It's not that a deep and is mostly just used to kill weak enemies and get an advantage in turn based battles but it does change up the flow. It's much less about turn order manipulation.

>>984768 >I'm playing through Reverie right now and it's such a slog. It's just more of Cold Steel with even worse pacing and less tension. Trails of Cold Steel honestly killed the franchise for me. Wasn't particularly invested in the franchise anyhow, having only played Trails in the Sky on PSP - which I enjoyed - but Cold Steel was such a poor showing that I never went back to finish the Liberl arc.

>>983029 to be fair OP didn't

>>981948 >OFF has some really good fangames Do you have any examples?

>>981908 >I believe some of them were hired by New Blood to make their own CRPG. Still untitled

>>981688 >sjws want to make zeldo a carbon copy of link Most boring route possible. This game took a far more interesting route with her explicitly not being a real combatant and using her wisdom (i see what you did there Aonuma you fuck) to fight instead. I would've liked there to be a more magicky element because Zelda typically has access to "fuck you" levels of light magic but Aonuma does retarded things like that all the time. Game looks very fun. Won't buy because its Nintendo but I am curious on how it will play. One thing I'm seeing of more modern Zelda titles is the tendency to introduce sandbox elements as the titles' gimmick. I am not against this. We'll see if dungeon design improves here or stays retarded. (ALBW had some good dungeons.)

>>984322 (checked) wew >Will tribes ever get a nice release with actually passionate devs? It would have to be a fan project. Too niche of a game to get any big name support.

Never paying for early access games continues to pay off for me RIP Tribes

>>984368 Have they tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

Vic Tyler, half the Filk musician on Carmen Miranda died sometime Nov 2023. I'm posting his songs from the album.

>>984394 He had a band camp, I'll post the two albums here. Even 30 years later, he can still belt it out. https://victyler.bandcamp.com/ >In 2022, we started a space shanty album with Vic Tyler (Carmen Miranda's Ghost), produced by Ben Lange. Midway through that project, Vic unexpectedly died in November 2023. >While most of the work on that album is a complete loss, Ben and I have decided to release two of Vic's in-progress tracks posthumously for his fans. https://files.catbox.moe/u9j51i.zip https://files.catbox.moe/g34ppg.zip
