Surprised no one here brought this game up, it's an interesting little indie game. It has honestly one of the worst main characters I've seen in a while, not like in a cringe way or a cartoonish way. But someone who'd exist in real life and pull this shit bad kinda way, Jimmy is a genuinely terrible human being.

Post about games that you just FINISHED Anonymous 03/01/2023 (Wed) 04:03:05 Id: 4f157e No. 790791 [Reply] [Last]
I seem to be getting the strange feeling more and more that the Anons who keep posting about the games they're "playing" never actually finish those games. As in they just drop the game after a certain point and lose interest in it for whatever reason (Even if it's a great game). So, to remedy that, let's have this thread, where Anons boast about crossing off another title on the backlog. And, to guilt all the other Anons into doing the same.

Super Mario Sunhine (Whoohoo!) The fludd is quite the addition to Mario's arsenal. However, I feel most of the levels don't utilize it to its fullest potential, several of the stars/shines can be gotten without using the fludd at all, that's at least how it feels. Besides shine sprite count doesn't really matter in the end, to access the last stage you have to beat episode 6 of each stage. I slso would have liked it more if it was possible to get some shine sprites out of order. Been looking at "super mario sunshine eclipse" seems quite cool, might try it out.
>>1033892 Presuming that the sequel lives up to that standard I can at least respect them for trying and not letting it go to waste by not releasing anything at all. Good to know it's only 3 hours though.

Just finished Slay The Princess: Pristine Cut, and Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. The former was great. The latter was alright. I was hoping for more interaction with the cute ghost girl, but I also only played the free version of the game. The paid newer versions and DLC add some more to her story, but not enough for me to do more than watch their endings and secrets.

2009 legacy league of legends Anonymous 11/15/2024 (Fri) 04:38:51 Id: fe6a18 No. 1039872 [Reply] [Last]
Take down if you feel fit. But I'm not the most savvy with trying to get old games to work and figured I'd make a post here where riot cucks wont touch. So I noticed you can get a copy of the 2009 cd League of Legends on internet archive. I wanted to see about hosting some old league with friend's but every ounce of research I do to see if there's anyway to do that with the files. But I just get stuff about riot taking down fan project attempts to revive old league. I just want to have a silly time with the superior version of league with friend's so any software savvy peep's able to tell me how I might be able to achieve my goal? On another note favorite splash-art or design from classic league?

MONSTER HUNTER THREAD: (Breath of the) Wilds Edition. Anonymous 10/29/2024 (Tue) 06:51:04 Id: 6c0959 No. 1032729 [Reply] [Last]
So the beta for MonHun Wilds is out and I've played it. It's OK. I'm not a hardcore Monster Hunter fan, I only played World and Rise up to the end of the story and didn't go for any post-game content, but this is way more casual-friendly than the previous entries. The camera now locks on to the monster instead of just centering on them for a split second. I could spam attacks with dual blades and interrupt at a moment's notice with the dodge roll, so I didn't have to pace my button presses. The wound feature is pretty cool. Basically you just attack one body part over and over until it glows red, then enter focus mode with L2 and press R1, and you do a super move on it. Focus mode lets you basically strafe and finely aim your attacks like it's a third-person shooter. The new support creature, the seikret, is cool. It automatically follows the monster's scent once you're on it so tracking the monster is now piss-easy. I only did the first hunt against the giant toad, I turned it off after that. There is another hunt you can do afterwards but I wanted to get back to the Romancing Saga 2 remake. Overall, I think I would play it. I expect hardcore MonHun fans will be pissed at how baby-mode it is now though. I'm nowhere near a seasoned veteran and I played it just like Dark Souls and that worked fine for me. YMMV.

>>1040160 I've been playing 3U with some friends. We're now HR7 so almost at Dire Miralis. I know Goldbeard Ceadeus has some of the best armour you can get in G-rank, so I thought it would be a good idea to get Nibelsnarf armour for pierce up and Green Narga's HBG for pierce 3 so we can fuck up Ceadeus or whatever other annoying monster we might need to kill underwater. idk if that's the best HBG you could get but it seemed easy enough to make because you can make it directly without having to upgrade into it. >>1040247 Charge blade, greatsword and insect glaive are all really fucked up in that game, but the village quests are pretty easy, at least up until high rank. Honestly, not the worst thing in the world as you are pretty much required to beat the entire village to get through the hub as well (which I think is appropriately difficult, if you feel like soloing).

Concord - flop of the decade? Anonymous 08/25/2024 (Sun) 00:24:42 Id: 9e29a1 No. 1005109 [Reply] [Last]
If you're unaware, the Sony-backed GaaS Concord just launched to an astounding 660 peak players. Not 6600, but six hundred and sixty-six. Currently sitting at 407. This is a flop on a level that is genuinely astounding. Battleborn launched to 12000~ players, LawBreakers launched to 7579. Gollum launched to 768. This game was in development for eight years, is getting an episode on the upcoming Secret Level show, and had a budget estimated at well over $100,000,000. All of that to hit a peak player count rivalling Far Cry Primal on a random Monday. The game didn't even enter Steam's top 500 and is about to drop out of the top 1000. It's a failure the likes of which I can only compare to The Culling 2. I would not be surprised if this game ended Sony's live service ambitions here and now, this is nearly unprecedented in the AAA space.

Recently played STP and has surprisingly fun time with it. I thought it'd be doki or Stanley Parable clone but it ended up being this bizarre horror love story. The director's cut is this fall and thought it's a better time to discuss this weird little game. What routes were /v/'s favorites?

(2.11 MB 1143x1065 Concerned Apotheosis.png)

Finally finished Pristine Cut. Bought the game on GOG because I liked it so much the first time around. I don't really get why the world outside the construct in the new ending is different just because you don't have the voices with you. While memories help immensely with finding 90% of unseen content, there's still a very poor mechanical choice that makes people miss a lot of the voicework. Whenever you choose to skip dialogue, which anyone trying to find new content will undoubtedly be doing, it always skips playing the dialogue of the first new line when skipping is auto-stopped. This, combined with a lack of a rewind function, makes tons of voiced lines get missed and seen as text only. It's especially frustrating on routes where you're bringing one different voice compared to a previous run and 80% of the dialogue is the same. >>1032235 >that you've personally slayed. Not necessarily slain, but simply been cruel to in the end. For instance, you can't slay the Wraith as far as I can recall, but throwing yourselves into the abyss together qualifies. >>1032243 >>During the Tower refuse to tell her why you were sent to kill her For clarity, you can't just refuse by remaining silent when the option pops up, you have to explicitly tell her you refuse (the stuttering option), then you can remain silent. >>1032243 >>The Paranoid Voice and the Narrator whitepill the Broken into realising that the Princess doesn't give two shits about him I didn't much like this. It's fine for one voice to lean towards another, but a complete 180 of personality is very uncharacteristic. It would have made more sense if he started leaning the Cold's direction and simply stopped caring, rather than actively trying to hinder you in worship of her like he had been. >>1032686 While it's possible to interpret it this way, I see it as simply the most obvious method of building a working example of the Narrator's perfect world to show that unchanging eternity is not good. It's the only route in which the Narrator's opinion on his own actions changes and he wants the world to end.

Message too long. Click here to view full text.

One of the most interesting duos of Voices was the Stubborn and the Cold in a route. The Cold being able to endure the Fury because he gives so little of a shit was spectacular.
I find that each voice being a manifestation of how the Princess views the MC after during a route to be one of most interesting parts of this game. As depending on your choices and how she views the MC as a consequence of said choices can either aid or hinder you for the rest of the route. This game is fucking brilliant and that's a rarity for me to say of a modern game.

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.

When will the false dilemma end? Anonymous 11/10/2024 (Sun) 10:44:51 Id: f62351 No. 1038077 [Reply]
Why is there no such thing as a plot-driven open world game? Why do all developers seem to have this brain parasite that only allows them to make great, compelling and memorable narratives *OR* huge, exciting and completely seamless world to explore, but *NEVER* the two things together? No, excuses such as "open world and plot-driven are inherently incompatible" are 100% bullshit because there is no conceivable reason why that should be the case. As a thought experiment, take Xenoblade Chronicles X, probably the best open-world ever made, but practically devoid of story; now imagine it having the story of Xenogears; or, better yet, imagine if Xenogears got remade with an open world in the same exact style as Xenoblade Chronicles X. Would that somehow magically make the world or exploration any less compelling? No, it wouldn't, in the slightest. Would the story somehow magically lose its power? Again, no. No reason why it should. So, why?

>>1037365 I tried it for a few months and it was different, but not great. Built from the ground up to be an open-PvP sandbox, but in the new sense of the terms. Everything is player-made from player-gathered materials, but every step is very formulaic. Mats are divided into tiers. Gear is divided into tiers. Zones are divided into tiers. Everything is done by exactly the same template; there are plenty of examples. Each type of weapon or equipment has a T3 version to a T8 version. The better ones have bigger numbers, but have the same name, the same abilities, and almost the exact same appearance. T2 is brown, T3 is green, T4 is blue, and so on - from armor to gear, even though that means T4 trees must have blue leaves. Every zone looks different, but they're all fundamentally square-shaped; it looks like Microsoft Excel design all over again. You can control territory and build buildings, but only in designated zones in the free PvP areas, or an instanced zone (personal island). Other than that, combat is pretty fun. PvE is as boring as any other MMO ("don't stand in the red" schlock), and PvP seems okay. It's the same weightless, impactless slop you'd expect from modern gayming, though: cooldowns are low, CC is short, good play relies on pressing a ton of buttons in the correct order over positioning and resource management. I had fun with it all for a few months, but eventually running back and forth between cities to gather and refine and craft and gather more and... it got old, as these games tend to. That's another thing, if you're looking specifically for relaxing gathering - there is a ton of moving between nodes. Lots of clicking, and since everything is mouse-based it can be hard on the wrist. Don't get carpal tunnel early, anon.

You know it's bad, when even Microsoft does a better job at remastering an RTS than Blizzard.
>>1039430 Unpopular opinion. I'm a long-time Warcraft 3 veteran, and I think Reforged isn't so bad. They patched a lot of the issues with launch for multiplayer. I really like how they brought back older UI designs from The Frozen Throne for Reforged. I like how they have an option to use the Classic models as well (I always prefer Classic over Reforged, so glad there's an option to revert a few of the changes). My only complaint is how they changed the lobby chat for custom games...
I do not understand why they keep pushing the "WC3 but with better graphics" meme when we already have HD graphics mod packs, they did what the community had done before but butchering the original character design in the process. Reforged HD units look like dogshit. Just re-release the original game but with better modding tools and let the community do the rest.
