> -1085 days until E3 Since it's summertime and E3 is officially dead and buried, I'm making one final Squilliam compilation video. Any Squilliam ideas you've been sitting on, this is your chance to get them in. Let's take a moment to remember the time every studio used to gather in one place to present their latest and greatest, before everyone started holding their own little conference no one cares about. If you have any memorable moments of past E3s, good or bad, post them in this thread. For old time's sake and so I can put some of it into the video. >I'm a newfag and what is this? It's been an 8chan tradition to make OC from a template based on Squilliam from Spongebob getting a heart attack. Download a template, open it in your favorite drawing/editing software and go nuts. When you're done, post it here (in a reply to the right anchor post to help me keep track of it). >How long do I have? I'm aiming for Sunday the 23rd of June as submission deadline, the video will be released sometime after that. >Can [board] on the webring participate? Of course! Whether it's a video game board, or just a hangout board interested in making OC. All I ask is that you help me find it by cross-posting your stuff here and linking it to the proper anchors. Feel free to share in your post what board you're representing. >What song are you going to use? Walk Away by Dokken >Is there gonna be a mosaic? Yes, see the later post. Try to make your squares E3-related if you can, this is about the death of E3, after all. >Are we never gonna see another compilation again? You probably will, I hope to make another one with a new template next year. I'm not making any promises, however.

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.

A really interesting phenomenon prominent during the 2000s, but existed outside of it. It wasn't uncommon for a game to launch on 5-7 different platforms with each version being a completely different game, this was especially common for tie-in games. Though I'm less interested in that, and more interested in the games that were something else entirely. Be it a different campaign like Quake 2 N64, or just an entirely original game like the GBA Daikatana Zelda-like. I'd like to hear about more of these I'm unaware of.

Not sure if anyone here still actively played TF2, but this news is HUGE. Basically Valve has just released the source code for Team Fortress 2, making mods that much more interesting. They also updated the game with a bunch of fixes and features. Personally, I hope this leads to having servers that can go over 64 playable characters for maximum chaos, although I'm not a game developer/modder, so I don't really know how these things work. articles in question: https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=238809 https://steamcommunity.com/games/TF2/announcements/detail/511824321138655315

you know the script, niggers for any 8/16bit and certain ps1 games, i've been using the 6 btn megadrive/genesis controller, love the d-pad and clicky buttons, so my question is, should i re-order another 6btn megadrive, or is there a better alternative?

Games where you engage in mercantile activities, preferably fantasy/historical rather than modern businessman shit. Not the same type of fantasy. Recettear is a pretty classic example and involves you running a shop in a fantasy JRPG world. Port Royale 2 is a great game set in the Carribean where you play as a merchant/Privateer going around the Carribean selling shit to different towns and nations, engaging in wars, hunting pirates etc. Unfortunately, it does not really allow you to be a pirate. The economy is pretty complex from what I've seen and many games do not get to the same level as this one.

I'll assume we're self-aware here, enough to know when we have personal bias when it comes to games we played in our youth. You might hear a game you enjoyed is considered not that great, or even outright bad by the majority of people. Perhaps you can understand that point of view, and see they make correct points, even if those points aren't enough to detract from your own personal enjoyment. That's how it is for me at least. Growing up I enjoyed a lot of games that wouldn't be considered worth playing now, but I open this thread not quite talking about your own personal growth in terms of how you view games, but to consider the people who can't do that. The people who still grasp their Nostalgic memories and view them as objective fact. >I loved it when I was 7 so that means it's a masterpeice. I thought about this topic since I was playing the recent Star Wars Bounty Hunter PC port. Now I enjoy Bounter Hunter so I thought sure I'll give it a go again, but unsurprisingly, being a 2002 Star Wars Attack of the Clones Tie in game, it's a bit rough around the edges. Even back in 2002 it wasn't a game to be impressed by save for the fact Jango Fett managed to look cool, but it's a medicore game without much replayability. Hence why I haven't replayed this game in over a decade possibly two decades even. It's still about as enjoyable as when I first played it, so not like i'm disappointed. But for whatever reason I looked at the Steam Reviews and came across first pic related. >"Absolute Masterpiece" Fucking Bounty Hunter of all games is a Masterpiece to this guy? Is this the only game he has ever played? Does he have no higher standards? Did he Jerk off to the Sith final boss chick a lot? No clue. His Steam profile is Private, so can't even judge him for more beyond this one review. That's all we got to go on. This made me think I've seen this kind of thing Numerous times, over the years. You find a youtube video covering just about any game that's old enough, you're gonna find 1 guy who says >"Now this game was epic, They need to remake it! And it'll be something like fucking Disney's Tarzan on the PS1... in fact... Yeah, 4th pic related. Talking about Tarzan on PS1. >Best Classic game I think it's a bit of an interesting Phenomenon, the unfiltered unrefined thoughts of a random person that Highly praises something that's not worthy of such high praise. Really it's harmless, but you can't help but question it. When it's possible, a person might be willing to die on a mole hill if you were to challenge them, because they don't know any better.

Simple question. Take your favourite RPG and tell me how the to-hit roll works. You may also tell me how the damage works if you can. I have been thinking a lot about this lately. Most Games do not explain to you exactly how the dice works. The reason I started thinking about this lately is my recent run of Kotor 1. First time i played the game it was pretty hard, Second time though was after I had started TTRPGs and this time I actually knew how the dice works. I know that 2-16 is just 2d8 damage (which is also what a lightsaber does in star wars:sagas). I know that a +1 to will/fortitude/reflex saves is actually really good. It completely changed everything and made the game so much easier to play. Now however I am just wondering why other RPGs do not explain the dicerolls. Every TTRPG will explain what a d20 is but most videogames wont tell you exactly what the strength stat does. For any dragon age fans, can you tell me what 40 strength means? Probably not, I can tell you what 20 strength means in D&D though. On top of that I am also wondering why video games wont tell you what the campaign is focused on. I am sure you have experienced a game that requires 1 stat more than any, quite frustrating having to make new characters. On the contrary, Most DMs that I have played with will tell you what their campaign is going to be about and what characters you should and shouldn't make. When you roll a new character in fallout it doesn't tell you that it is going to a combat focused campaign.

https://gf2exilium.sunborngame.com/ So this just came out globally recently. Is anyone playing it? Any fans of the original mobage/kusoge? This one plays a lot like XCOM, kind of. The similarities end pretty quickly when compared to XCOM but it's the best one most people will be familiar with. The visual style is 3D anime, but in my opinion, tastefully done. Not a shill by the way

Have you ever had any dreams based on vidya, anon? Existing games or otherwise. I'll start with one I had a while ago: >Some sort of custom map, the part I'm in is some sort of long, blue, hexagonal tube with the bottom cut out and leaving a black abyss serving as a killzone, two white platforms lining either side (one above and one below), with doorways giving access for red on one side, and blu on the other (though the distance can be explosive jumped, but not scout doublejumped) >I am on BLU, playing soldier, on my side of the tube >Two RED soldiers are on the opposite side >rocket jumping around, hitting each other uselessly with their melees, exchanging voice lines, typical TF2 interactions >I whip out the righteous bison and start taking potshots >miss because it's the bison >one of the soldiers turns right towards me after my first shot misses, effortlessly steps out of the way of subsequent shots because again, it's the bison >actually intentionally steps back in front of my last two shots before I have to stop to reload, does the schadenfreude taunt, pain sounds interrupt the audio portion of it >he whips out his own righteous bison >we start blasting away at each other >neither of us can hit the other >other red soldier whips out his own bison and joins in >he can't hit anything either >the other players all start swapping to soldier and equipping the bison >start flooding into their respective halves of the tube
