I love it when some JRPGs have that vibe that reminds me of old shojo manga about adventure or mysteries like the ones by Saki Hiwatari, Kaori Yuki, CLAMP, Natsuki Takaya, etc. Like some of the Final Fantasy games before Squaresoft and Enix merged, or Persona 1 and 2 (and almost P3 too), the DDS games, the Raidou Kuzunoha games…
It's hard to describe but I think what gives me that impression is how there's romance and melodrama but it's not fanservice for otaku, it's legit part of the stories and settings, or how the male and female characters act and are described. Especially in the retro FF where the male protagonists are covered in jewelry and makeup or how the DDS novels describe Serph as so pretty and so cute he's basically a feminine bishonen. Even some plot points are super similar, the school fusing with a supernatural tower in P1 and P3 is the exact same shit as in Mirai no Utena. If there are games that ever gave you that impression I'm open for recommendations.

>>102568Here is my completely subjective review:
I liked DAI. I didn't play DA2 so I can't compare. I really liked the beautiful, colorful, big and varied world and the many different monsters in it and the feeling of exploring the world. Lots of places had a wonderful atmosphere, which was what I liked about DAO too. I didn't care much for the story, I can't even remember most of what happened but I usually don't care for stories in games. I didn't like the characters too much, except Cassandra, she was cool. And Vivienne and Varric I guess. The rest I didn't think too much about or they got on my nerves (like Sera). The combat was fun and I liked it better than DAO's strategy based combat but if you liked the strategy, you might find this "watered down". I also really liked upgrading my fortress and collecting decor for it and dyeing my armor. And collecting different mounts. You can even get a giant nug mount. Isn't it cute?

I want to recommend this old game, 3 in Three. It's a puzzle game, I found it really fun, sometimes a bit tedious but fun. I like how the number 3 is female for some reason too. She makes lots of snarky comments. You can get it here, you need an emulator but I think it's all on the site.
http://www.thefoolserrand.com/04-3T/index.htmThere's also another good puzzle game from the same creator, The Fool's Errand, which can be found on the same site, but I liked 3 in Three better.

I also wish he would draw less detailed stuff sometimes, I like the art style in The world ends with you.
By the way, when was the last time Amano worked on a video game as a character designer? He always creates the logos for mainline FF games, and he did the character design for FF6 and FF9 last, probably worked on other games after that, but is it actually possible that he could ever come back for character design and not just to design logos? I find it ironic that now that technology is advanced enough to translate his designs accurately with all the small makeup and jewelry details like in the new Dissidia game he isn't doing anything anymore.

Random thoughts about the upcoming game: Oh man, I really hope that it will have the humor and the writing style of the original, to me these made the game unforgettable. The dialogue in the new game's demo seemed so dry and void of personality. They didn't even try to make the NPCs seem interesting. I have a fear that the writers are going to pander to the SJW culture and strip the dialogues off everything that could be seen as even mildly offensive.

>>104053I want to hope in a decent game because let's face it, this type of game is very niche and I'm starving for more VTM content.
We just have to keep in mind that it won't be no Bloodlines. The goth atmosphere won't be there, the game is based on the lame ass V5 edition, they have snowflakes like Cara Ellison in the team, Mitsoda seems to have lost his mind, they're using a different engine than Source, as you can see by the lack of acting by the characters in the demo. The characters in Bloodlines were so lively and expressive, while in that demo NPCs just stood there completely still with their faces barely moving as they spoke.
So I'll play it while keeping my expectations low, and try to take it for what it is: something different.
If it's garbage, at least we'll get to have a good playlist to listen to, since the composer from Bloodlines is back.

it's hard for me to feel excitement because i think a lot of the old legendary game devs from the early 2000s have regressed too much. leonard boyarsky and tim cain's the outer worlds lacked the brilliant ambition that they were once known for. i wouldn't have known it was made by the guys who made arcanum, fallout and bloodlines if i wasn't following its development ever since they teased it.
the only veteran rpg gamedev who is still consistent is chris avellone, but he probably sodoku'd after he got #metoo'd over twitter. (fyi the allegations are bullshit and they were spearheaded by a known scammer) they 'wrote out' his contributions, but he probably just had the same role as he did with baldurs gate: siege of dragonspear (game was horrible and the snowflake writer even crammed a troon into it) where he just gives feedback to the writers.
the game is doomed to fail. i've personally lost hope in any good american rpgs coming out. i recommend y'all play disco elysium if you haven't. the game is completely text based and is up your alley if you like bloodlines for its characters/quests

>>104454in 2013, @SJBsMama (Karissa Barrows) planned a charity fundraiser event for PAX East (MECC) where they wanted to get the all of the Mass Effect VAs to cosplay as their respective characters. there was a lot of hype in the cosplay community as they would be able to get a lot of good exposure for their work while helping a charity (st jude) in the process.
sounded pretty good in concept, but then a bunch of them dropped out for whatever reasons and karissa of course failed to disclose that. pic related was the lineup midway through the campaign. at that point several had already dropped out (courtney taylor - jack, steve blum - generic grunts and raphael sbarge - kaidan, but there were more, im just basing this off of reddit comments) in the end it was only 4 people. two VAs (kimberly brooks - ashley and keythe farley - thane) along with 2 face models.
one of the costume makers (leah nelson) made cosplay for the model luciano costa and ended up calling out karissa over tumblr.
https://tifaia.tumblr.com/post/80354766538/a-word-of-caution-about-the-mass-effect-castTL;DR leah makes a costume for luciano, and when karissa sends her the money to ship the costume to her, she sends an e-check saying that there wasn't enough money in the paypal account, since it had been transferred to collect interest in another account (which was basically confirmed to be karissa's personal account as she did not have an EIN for MECC) leah starts smelling bs. leah and other members of N7 Elite (ME cosplay community) send an email to karissa voicing concerns.
karissa refuses to divulge an EIN or any transactions showing what the donations are for which they would be obligated to if they had tax-exempt status. karissa explains that nothing donated towards MECC is tax deductible (showing why you shouldn't donate to middlemen!) she even pulls the whole "we had no signed agreement" to push back against leah's requests for this information. but it's all very vague and a lot of non answers as you can imagine.
eventually, karissa kicks leah off of the project, tells her to send the armor back. leah refuses as she was requested by another project member to stay onboard in addition to not wanting somebody else to make alterations to the costume she sacrificed a month making. luciano still had the armor at this point and was meant to send it back to leah for adjustments. but karissa manages to intercept him and tells him to send it to her because leah "had to pull out do to personal matters.

>>104452I was looking forward to Avellone's contribution to the game tbh, but they scrubbed everything he wrote from the project and fired him after the allegations. This new team is entirely made of woke people pleasers with no decent game under their belt - save for Mitsoda, for the latter part.
Now we have Mitsoda saying he will represent Malkavians' mental illness more respectfully because the wackiness from the first game was "
problematic" and people joked about fishmalks. Even though y'know, they're vampires with a very specific, non-human mental illness. God forbid these fictional characters with a very fictional brand of mental illness (which is more complicated than that, they're not schizos - they're almost seers, so it's not comparable with human mental illnesses) are not "represented respectfully" and get offended!
But what were we expecting, from nuWoD. Every pnp VTM player knows of the trash fire that was the V5 manual. The political shit, the Anarchs pushed as the right faction against the evil fascist Camarilla (which is now even responsible of killing gay people in Chechnya!), Nosferatus now look like normal people but with hobo clothes, feeding is literally rape because you don't have the human's consent, all the cringy in-your-face hardcore antifa shit… and this game will be based on this version of the manual.

toxic manchild competitive audience.

>>105155>expecting their employee to say anything other than "The game is good you guys, don't worry, everything's fine!"Outstar is literally on the company's payroll to advertise the game, she's nothing but a shill. Don't expect any truth from her. In both her discord and the official Bloodlines one she's already been doing damage control since yesterday, along with the mods.
As for the SJW stuff, Mitsoda himself seemed to be on board with it, with the "treating Malkavians' mental illness more respectfully" thing. Ellison is even woker and so is the dev team.
What we know for now is that:
>Mitsoda doesn't have allegations, didn't molest anyone or any of that shit, as confirmed by the PR team>the company talked of "creative differences">Cara Ellison is now in charge of the writing>there are rumors of elements of the story being changed last minute>it's possible the consultant from Ubisoft was hired to help polish the combat and action sequences>the dev commentary special featuring Mitsoda, which was meant to be included in the pre-order bonuses, has been scrubbedBrian is a meek guy with social anxiety, I don't think he's done anything.
There's a rumor about him strongly opposing the ideas of someone from upper management because he cares so much about Bloodlines, and they weren't having it, but who knows.
For me, it's possible that he wanted to polish more aspects of the narration/he wanted to do more, but the company just wants to release the game.

When starting a run you can choose whether you want the stages from the original or brand new stages. People were sperging so hard over the new character that I only knew about the new puzzles when starting the game myself. Make your opinion yourself based on that because I feel like if you loved the original you'll either like the changes and additions to the game a lot or you'll dislike them a lot, based on opinions I've seen online.
Also it looks like I missed Rin's route but that's for the best, I want ending with the original characters before getting Rin's route.

I am just in love with Grounded rn, it's such a throwback to Honey I shrunk the kids, and though they didn't have to the devs gave the option to turn the spider enemies into marshmallows for those of us with extreme arachnophobia.

No. 105675
>>104585I'm guessing the way Blizzard handles it is by number of reports by different people. Most gamers do not care about reporting slurs because a lot of them are edgelords to begin with. The fake cheater was actively asking people to report him to prove a point so they probably received a LOT in a short time and instabanned.
That being said Riot seems to take it more seriously than Blizzard. Every slur-user I've reported has gotten banned. Whether it was permanent I can't say but they definitely got punished because the feedback system tells you when your report succeeded.

>>105675Also I'm of two minds on the Malk situation. On one hand characters that are CRAAAZY are fun to play as but on the other, It's frustrating to see films and games depicting mentally ill people so poorly. Perhaps if their chaotic behavior was framed as not mental illness but still remained chaotic it could work? I can already hear the people saying it's not a big deal but once you have someone who has serious mental health issues in your life (or are one) the topic isn't that easy to dismiss.
If there was no stigma against mental illness in our real world then I definitely wouldn't care about how media shows it but it's still a tough subject today. For those that really want cartoony depictions of insanity, think about rape scenes and ask yourself how you want those to be executed.

>>105675No it's based on how many reports a person gets in a certain amount of time and the decay for reports is complete horseshit so often if everyone reports you just because you don't like playing Ana EVERY single game as a support main. You get reported and can get a p[enalty, even in quick play. As well as they just let the bot handle bans.
Even with the added replay system to further show when it's not a player's fault Blizzard just lets the bot decide even as it's been heavily shown it's about as correct in it's determination as Easy anti cheat.
Hell their recent big cheater purge only came to be because people were actually showing how bad it was by having full on AI programmed to follow them around and shoot and it being less than sophisticated in it's coding clearly firing based on the player's inputs on whoever they were actually playing. In fact the only actual reversal I can think of on the top of my head was a streamer named TreeboyDave who was even featured on their launcher for having the highest possible level in game. Guy only plays QP never comp and got permabanned on what appears to be streamsnipe reporting. And was only reversed after their pet youtubers broke ranks to say how unfair it was and get enough traction for articles. It's why I prefer Riot, cause even though they have a
toxic fanbase they'll make fun of it, but at the same time punish bullshit. Blizzard pretends they're always morally right until attention is brought to how utterly bad they are.
TL;DR Blizzard has one of the worst reporting/anti cheat system in recent gaming and only ever fixes mass issue when it gets too public for comfort and they could risk profit.

anons, do you remember playing games at a young age and being scared of things that should have not actually been scary? i'll start. i used to play every nancy drew game, but message in a haunted mansion actually traumatized me. the whispering paintings and general ghostly action in it made the game unbearable for me to play at nightime or without a friend. i remember there was a scene where a ghost appears in the corner of a room and i legitimately cried for 2 hours. the ghost didn't even pop out at you, it just chilled and walked by your screen. but it fucked me up so much i couldn't even finish the game. granted it is a mystery themed spooky game series, but it's point and click and reliant on puzzles lol. idk if i was the age range it was meant for (i was in elementary school) but god those games were good.
i also remember being a pussy in fallout 3 despite being a tween playing it. i remember stepping out of the vault and being terrified for no good reason. just seeing the waste stressed me out like no other even before enemies started spawning. i remember finding megaton and not leaving for ages because i hated traversing the wastes by myself. got over it quickly though.

Rune Factory 3 also seems good but I dislike playing on emulators, so I bought the Friends of Mineral Town Remake. It's a cute and enjoyable game but nothing is filling up my Rune Factory want!

Unpopular opinion but I prefer the original NieR over Automata, I enjoyed the main cast better (couldn't stand 9S at all) and the OST was more memorable.
When it comes to the gameplay, I saw a lot a of people bemoaning Gestalt/Replicant's as "omg, so bad, it really detracts from the gaming experience" when it's fairly standard gameplay for a story driven game and it works well (these people clearly never played Drakengard). Automata's gameplay, while good, is nothing deep either, it's even extremely simplified compared to other Platinum Games like Bayonetta or MGR. Weirdly enough, the fishing minigame was really barebones compared to the first game.
The story in both NieRs is nothing amazing and the messages tend to get hammered unsubtlety, I prefered the slow apocalypse atmosphere of the first one rather than the full blown post-apocalypse of the second one, and the surface level philosophical references got really obnoxious by the end. The world was super fun to explore at the begininng but it fell into the same habits as NieR when you had to go back to the same places during the different routes.
I genuinely enjoyed playing NieR Automata, it's a very good game, but it was over hyped to me (especially since I only played it this year) and it didn't have the same emotional impact as Gestalt's (Shadowlord forever my favorite game ost of all time).

>>104452>hey 'wrote out' his contributions, but he probably just had the same role as he did with baldurs gate: siege of dragonspear (game was horrible and the snowflake writer even crammed a troon into it) where he just gives feedback to the writers.According to Chris Avellone's Linkedin, he contributed a lot to Bloodlines 2. Bullshit that they wrote everything out.
On another note, this Euro sperg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV_xrEU5o2g made a 46 minute long video on the accusations. He does talk about the scamming explained in

>>107761>Bullshit that they wrote everything outI really think they did. Look at all the delays. When a game is supposed to come out in early 2020, then it gets delayed to late 2020, then delayed to 2021 (not even a defined time frame), you can't help but wonder what the hell are they doing.
Not to mention it turned out that in the month when the game was supposed to come out earlier this year, they were STILL doing mocapWe're lucky if they don't write out Mitsoda's contributions at this point
No. 107785
>>107782>>107761Same, since 2018 they could have easily rewritten entire game if they wanted. Usually the most common cause for a delay is optimization struggle (especially if they planned to release Bloodlines on the current console generation and I think they did), but if they're still working on the actual content then who knows, maybe it really is the core story struggle all along. Which is a really bad sign.
I don't they wanted to release the game the same year as Cyberpunk too since it's the biggest competition and it would really crush their sales, moving to year after is definitely beneficial.

Has anyone played this game? You go to some mansion-like dungeon that spans an entire planet and the dungeon starts generating clones of you that learn from your actions. I got it a while ago and I didn't get too far because I'm too much of a coward, I was afraid to shoot the clones because I knew they'd learn how to shoot as well. The setting and the premise and everything are very interesting though. I don't know if I should get over myself and play it or not. The main menu is the best I've ever seen, check it out:

>>107906Yes and yes. The only thing you can't do with a 2DS XL is use the gimmicky 3D feature that nobody uses anyway because of how fast it drains the battery and how it's uncomfortable to look at. You also can't play some very specific games like Xenoblade Chronicles or FE Warriors that only work for the New 3DS and New 2DS but you can play them on other consoles like the Switch anyway, it's not a big loss at all.
Btw about DS games on the 3DS/2DS, it works just fine, but if you want to play them with their original resolution press start when starting the games. On my 3DSXL these games look very blurry and stretched out because of the difference in screen sizes so I usually do that.

After a long pause, I'm back to Dark Souls III and god does it feel good to play a SoulsBorne game again! I know the game is quite controversial among the fanbase (too samey from the two previous games and unnecessary lore addition and callbacks) but I enjoy it a lot, the boss fights tend to be very good and I love the atmosphere. I'm a bit rusty since I've played other stuff since then (I'm often trying to pick items with the round button), so I'm collecting weapons I'm missing to warm up. I remember being stuck to two hard bosses before leaving the game (Nameless King and Sister Friede), I'm not ready for them yet.
I'm waiting for the October update to finally start Sekiro, the game looks great and an interesting departure from FromSoftware's formula.

FP regens by default so you're more free to use your spells and weapon arts. Also changes some enemy placement and boss behavior and abilities, let's you sequence break and go to a lot of areas earlier, so if there's a particular weapon you like, but can only get late game, then that's not a problem anymore.

So yesterday we had a 5th anniversary of Undertale release and honestly I'm surprised how much this all touched me. The game was an amazing experience, and the themes of it were so beautiful and special, it really deserves all of it's hype; though I wish the fandom was a little less insane so there's no negativity attached to it. Still, it's impossible to avoid anytime something becomes as popular.
I really recommend listening to the 5th anniversary concert, the OST sounds incredible with orchestral arrangement

I saw "Avalanche" listed as the devs but it's Avalanche Software (behind Disney Infinity) not Avalanche Studios (Just Cause series). Thought it might at least have good action but so much for that.

Would rather have an HP-influenced game by a decent dev than a licensed HP game by some generic Disney payroll group, but I hope it's good for the anons excited about it.

Any older anons that played the original PoP Sands of Time?
I was so excited when I saw that there was a remake coming soon but when I saw the trailer I had to actually rub my eyes to check if I was seeing things correctly.
Not only do the graphics look seriously outdated but the entire mood, the voice acting, animations, etc. look utterly horrible and devoid of any charm that the original had. Then I've learned that Ubisoft India was in charge for the game and whenever you criticize the game you get a bunch of angry indians insulting you even though criticizing the game is nothing personal against indians.

>>108469Yeah, unironically the original SoT despite having older graphics looks way better. The facial expression in the new one make everything look worse. Apparently the released trailer is in alpha and the beta screenshots look promising but to me, it still looks pretty bad. I honestly have no idea how a company like Ubisoft green lit this garbage. I always thought that one thing they ought to be good at were graphics.
I was looking forward to the Warrior Within remake the most but if they pull out the same shit like this, I'd rather they completely abandon the series.

>Also crystals? Find the crystals to save the world? Original.Like in a shit ton of FF games? Crystals are one of the most iconic things in the series, like Mogs or Chocobos, I don't get how that's a complain yet you're also complaining about the trailer not being FF-like.

What are genre you like? The 3DS is really good if you like JRPGs, even if Pokemon games aren't the best on this console (XY is ok but too easy even for this series, and either go get Sun/Moon or UltraSun/Moon but not both) there's a shit ton of Megami Tensei/Atlus games (originals and remasters), Fire Emblem is really good too (be careful if you play FE Fates, there's three very different versions of the game and the Revelation version/route is dog shit while Birthright and Conquest are both very good) and there's Bravely Default and Bravely Second if you like older turn-based FF games. You'll also be able to get into the Ace Attorney series, which is amazing too, especially the first three games, but they're digital only in the West.

>>108712>I already have a physical copy of SMT4Good, it's such a good game.As for SMT4 Apocalypse, it improves SMT4's gameplay a lot thanks to many small QoL changes so I recommend it too, but keep it for after you're done with SMT4 because otherwise it's gonna make SMT4 less appealing.
Speaking of FE Fates, don't worry too much if you see people calling it shit online, it's typical fandom war bullshit. Everyone's opinion was biased back when it was announced and then released because of the shitty localization/censorship and how you have to buy each route separately. The localization IS pretty fucking bad but the game isn't unplayable because of it and you'll get the gist of the story despite the characters being
OOC very often, and the routes/versions are all so different from each other that they feel way more like separate games than, say, Pokemon games from the same generation, or even FE3H on the Switch which was praised for having 4 different routes but they're all 99% similar to each other (except a hidden route that's like 98% the same instead). Then you'll se way too many people saying that the game is shit just because of the story (the lows and really low and the highs are really good especially if you like the characters) but they'll never mention how good the gameplay or level design are, many shit on the game after watching let's plays on youtube only.
And for Ace Attorney I think there are remasters or ports of the DS games and sequels so you can get the full main series. If you like them and ever get the chance to play Ghost Trick, do it. It's one of the best games I've ever played. It's on the DS, idk how hard it is to get copies in the USA (gonna guess that's where you are because you can get a physical copy of SMT4 unlike me) but if you can get one and you don't have a DS you can just play it on the 3DS, like I said earlier in the thread.

I loved that i had to pause and actually think about what the characters were doing in combat and with work i could make almost any party combination work.

If the main draw to you is combat, origins combat is more tedious and requires you to pause and strategize, it feels more like realistic combat where you could die if you're a dumb bitch while inquisition can be more button mashy and give you that feeling of being powerful, and the magic is really beautiful lmao.
When it comes to story origins is a "closed" world with more focus on lore, choices and roleplaying, while inquisition is open world with many sidequests and you can tune out a good part of the "side" story if it makes no difference to you and only follow the main storyline to know what is happening.

I recently played this new horror game called Phasmophobia with my friends. You're basically playing as ghost hunters going to different locations using various gear and even your own mic and voice to talk to and aggravate the ghosts. You then get paid based on how much evidence you could gather and can level up and buy more gear.
For such a cheap game it was wonderfully immersive. My heart was racing several times even when nothing was happening. Having your friends call out to you through the radio yelling for you to get out since they see something coming for you on the cameras, doors slamming shut and locking in front of you while you try to hide - I loved the experience so much. Definitely recommend if you enjoy horror games.

>>109616I've already played the game (I mean, the 4h preview for early reviews in June) and it really does come together, although you have to be aware what's what exactly: lifepath is where you come from and will affect the prologue and dialogue choices if you choose to; and gangs are there and are important for the game but V is a freelancer and doesn't join any.
In general it depends what are you looking for but when it comes to writing, story and immersion, it will be amazing I'm sure.

The House of Fata Morgana has always interested me but it got noticed by the troons for having the MC being transgender, so I was apprehensive about how the subject will be approached; turns out he was just born hermaphrodite raised as girl, and grows into a male body after puberty.

For example: Being able to perform a complex surgery on an npc because your Medical skill is really high, convincing an enemy to surrender because your Speech skill is decent, or being unable to find a clue at a crime scene because your Investigation skill is too low. Stuff like that.

I've been playing the game since release, but I don't know what I'm doing half of the time kek. I love it, though, and I like the fact that you play alone. The japanese voice acting is on point, and I'm actually reading the story, which I thought I would skip like in most MOBAs/MMOs.

My current favorite character is Qiqi! I don't have her but my bf does and she runs around all cute lol. Fingers crossed I pull Mona someday, an upcoming witch girl. I also like playing as Lisa, her attacks are pretty strong when fighting jelly creatures.

>>111244I think the sexual content was forced by marketing (correct me if I am wrong). It is a part of the plot and is disturbing/gross (
there is mindbreak and rape happening in one scene) but the game is not heavy on the sex content. Play the visual novel if it interests you, you will probably enjoy it. The sex scenes could have been edited out tbh or presented in a more tame way. They add to the plot a bit, but this is the kind of game that anyone will play for plot and not porn. It has good writing.

mindbreak thing but it didn't make me ragequit or anything lol. It really wasn't anywhere near as disturbing as I was expecting and as people hyped it up to be, however. The main thing that bothered me was the dumb treatment of female characters but I guess that's to be expected lol.

So, after 3 years of good use, my left nintendo switch joy-con is borderline unusable. I had a long run without any issues but I guess the daily dose AC:NH pushed this thing over the edge. I tried to fix it with cleaning underneath the rubber skin, which made it a bit better but it still does what it wants and since I want to go back to play other games, I kind of debate on how to solve this problem because it is really annoying.
Any anons that had the same issue: What did you do? Did you fix it on your own? Let it fix because of technical issues or just got new ones?
And another thing that annoys me but maybe it's just my personal preference: The color variations of the joy-cons is SO ugly. I do have the grey ones because anything else is eye-cancer imo but looks like there no chance to get my hands on a pair of brand new grey joy-cons where I live …

I have a Ps and it's very fun, there's also an English mod for it and mod characters you can raise and transfer via NFC, but the NFC is very specific, you would need a phone that is compatible with it. I managed to snag a compatible docomo phone for like $50 and was totally worth it.

This is a long shot, but does anyone know any games that also teach something useful? Trying to improve myself without totally giving up my main hobby/vice. I've played so many games and end up learning tons of knowledge that's pointless in the real world, like I don't need to know what type of pokemon beats another or where to shoot a monster to take it down quickly in the day to day lol.
The only games I can think of like this are those stupid typing games, where you have to improve your typing speed/accuracy to beat levels. I guess I could also put Civilization into this category, in that you can at least end up learning about real history and cultures by proxy when playing.

I played all Far Cry games and probably spent the most time with Far Cry 5 + the DLC New Dawn. Far Cry 5 was just very well told and really immersive for me. It is not the best story ever, but they are doing something right with their usual tale of being a novice/Rookie that ends up at a hostile place and morally decays throughout the story. And their antagonists usually are really cool and likable in a twisted way. I get that 3 is a classic and Vaas is one of the best characters in mainstream games, but I really loved Joseph and the story about his cult. Also their (way too realistic) vision of burgerland.
The last AC I played was Origins and while I enjoyed that, the game was way too long and the map too big. I felt burnt out after it and so far it stopped me from playing Odyssey. I don’t really care about Vikings so I am not sure if I will get the new one.

I've read the first four arcs, I already know all the spoilers and who the culprit is, and from what I've understood none of the shit that you read really happened and were just metaphors and stories created by Sayo or Battler, which sounds incredibly frustrating to me, but do the narration and flavor text make up for it? I got into it way back then with the shitty 2009 anime mostly for the cool designs and fantasy shit, but I saw an idiot on Twitter going "Umineko has always been political, it's a story about gender identity crisis and capitalism=bad, if you thought it was about witches then you are a dumbass", which does not really encourage me to read any more of it (tbf anitwitter tends to overblow the importance of this kind of themes).

I've got really into Paradise Killer, and I finally finished it over the weekend. It's this thoroughly weird open-world investigation game with vaporwave aesthetics that has nice Ace Attorney/Dangonronpa vibes… I'm a sucker for a good mystery/detective game and this kept me obsessed for like 25 hours of active playtime lol. The soundtrack slaps, too.

>>113288Are you high, or have you not read the fuckng news once in 2020, anon? The coronavirus pandemic has wrecked entire industries and bogged down so many businesses and projects globally this year, it's no wonder a major game like Cyberpunk got delayed. I'd maybe entertain this "it must be shit if it's delayed before release" idea if it was any other year, but the industry is already known for its deadly crunch scheduling and overall shittiness to dev teams' health and personal wellbeing.

It is really bad PR-wise though, and missing this year's game awards is going to most likely cost Cyberpunk GOTY in 2021 since people will already move on to a different game within entire year passing, no matter how good it's gonna end up being. Either way, sending hate on twitter to developers is fucked, no matter how disapppointed some gamers are.

Thanks to it's recent update I finally started playing Sekiro, and jesus am I bad at this game! I need to get rid of my SoulsBorne habits (i.e. lots of dodging) and be more agressive in my play style, which is exactly what the game entices you to do. I feel that it requires some good hand-eye coordination and a fast reaction time, which I'm kinda lacking. I fear I won't be able to enjoy the game to its full extent, I'm already struggling against Lady Butterfly (admittedly the easiest boss in the game), I'm fearing the fights against really hard opponents like the headless, the Monk or the demon of hatred. I hope I'll get better, because I love the setting, the stealth elements are very enjoyable and the direction is flawless. I already knew how the hide-and-seek scene with the giant snake was going, but merely watching it and actually playing it is totally different, I was holding my breath the whole time.

Bought Dragon Age Origins last weekend and I've already clocked over 40 hours on it. I can't believe I've waited this long to play it. The story and world are so engaging and perfectly up my alley. But there
is something cozy about playing older games for the first time.
I wish I had waited a bit longer though to snap up the Ultimate edition so I don't have to deal with installing the DLC piecemeal.
Also I want to bully Alistair. I'm not normally into puppy-dog/vanilla archetypes but whew, they really nailed something right about his self-deprecation.
>>113583>>113501At first glance, I was mega hyped because I thought it was Akihiko Yoshida's art, too, but it's actually by the FF14 artist, Kazuya Takahashi (not a bad artist by any means–just preference).

My team right now is basically Traveler, Xiangling, Barbara and Razor. I Will probably swap Traveler for the free Fischl we Will get, and I know Chongyun could be a good cryo support for him but it bothers me that he's also a claymore.
As for the 5*s, other than maybe Qiqi, none of them fills the role that I want for my team, I guess? Qiqi and Venti were the only ones that I sort of wanted and Venti was limited and the fact that Qiqi's burst heal depends on attacking an enemy bothers me bc I feel like I mostly heal when I'm far away from enemies after Razor's burst ends, on that sense I just feel like Barbara suits me better. From what I've seen from Jean I really really dislike her, she seems so boring to play, Diluc seems cool but I just dont understand the hype around him (I also think he's kind of ugly), I dont really like mages or hydro as an element so Mona is ehh, Keqing seems cool enough but shes another electro DPS and honestly I think Razor is just better. Also, I can tell I would bem really shit at using Klee just by the test they let us play.

>>114394Swapping Traveler with the free Fischl is a good idea. I have her on my team alongside Xingqiu, Venti and Xiangling and she practically takes down all of the enemies thanks to Oz and the elemental reactions. Having two Electro users also gives buffs to your team, so yep, good choice.
Chongyun is also good at creating elemental reactions, I think he can make an AoE with one of his skills that deals constant Cryo damage through normal and charged attacks (from all characters). You shouldn't be bothered about him being a Claymore user, since you need at least two of them to win Abyss (you have to make two teams for the later stages) and he seems to be a good sub-carry.
I'm no expert and I'm kind of parroting some things I heard on the net, but at the end of the day I think anything is fine as long as you're comfortable with your team. This isn't a PvP game after all.
>Diluc uglyAgree, but after playing his side story/legendary mission I have a soft spot for him. I don't know how the 3D artists fucked up so bad his face, like, he looks good in the manga and other promotional art… ugh.
>shit at using KleeAlso agree. I don't like mages either, they are kind of slow and I don't get their gameplay. I prefer melee weapons.
>>114398Yes! It's nice the game gives you free characters, right now I have Kaeya as my Cryo slave until I get Chongyun. They are easily outclassed by other characters, though.
This game panders a lot more to men than to women, but at least they'll give us 3 adult men + 4 boys per region. It's true there are more girls, but at least it's something. The only complain I have is that I would like to see a little more variation personality wise.

I hope down the line they'll give us more interaction between characters, banter or reactions to our mains by NPCs.
You can really see the scrotery of the fanbase by all of those complaints about "having nothing to do". Yeah bitch there's lots to do if you don't bang out 30 ARs daily and skip the entire story just to get a muh strong character. Grinder games have really destroyed the ability to enjoy single player games in some. I'm AR 42 and just finished the story a couple days ago.
I am comfortable spending money down the line but only if really interesting characters come through. Hopefully after the current husbando update they'll put up a string of featured cliche anime girls to pander to males and it'll give me some time to save.

>>114466Agree, a lot of people "speedrunned" this game and started to complain about the lack of content too soon. Tinfoil, but I think they purposefully added the resin system and less content not only to gain more money, but to stop people from playing too much. I've heard too many horror stories about Asian hardcore-MMO-players dying at cybercafes because they were addicted to playing and all that shit. I think the devs want to avoid that, kek.
>I'll try to get all the Harbingers and comp a 100% villain teamOoh, that's a super cool idea. I love when people plan original team compositions. Right now, mine looks like a Power Rangers team (?).
>Hopefully after the current husbando update they'll put up a string of featured cliche anime girls to pander to males and it'll give me some time to save.Next banner after Childe is Zhongli. They'll probably release Ayaka after that, but people speculate Xiao will be featured in February (next after Ayaka). It's very difficult to save gems right now, at least for me…

I'm not sure what was more annoying, the story shitting itself in excitement from another bad plot turn. Or the fact someone on staff thought 'rifle abortion' was a clever segue into an all out gunfight. Also for some reason the mom is an angel cept everyone calls her a whore for some reason?

>>114871If you're talking about the fandom, it's probably a joke about how Capcom protagonists aren't allowed to have a stable romantic relationship and they have no kids either for some reason, unless explicitely plot relevant (see Ryu, Phoenix Wright whose daughter is super plot relevant, everyone in Resident Evil, etc). And then there's the fact that Dante's most popular pairing is with Vergil. I think in the first game Dante/Trish was meant to be the canon couple but since Kamoya only worked on the first game and made them a couple in Viewtiful Joe, but other devs worked on the rest of the series it's ambiguous because of how weird a guy dating his mother's clone is. Anyway, that's another topic.
As for the DmC developers sperging about Dante being gay in the original games, I guess they couldn't handle a strong, fun and handsome fictional male character who's trying to look kinda fashionable and not like a hobo like Donte, who also treats his female team mates as equals and with respect. Pic related is actually something the devs presented to show what "being cool and stylish" is and isn't.

Dante explicitely says he saved Trish the first time because she looks lile his mother, no other reason is mentioned like "you helped me at some point" or whatever. Who knows.

>>114989, I'm not interested in more recent games of series I already like, or some of the series I like are dead or might as well be. I don't like the current state of video games, what's with companies neglecting level design and gameplay to focus on microtransactions and detailed graphics. I have my Switch and I'm putting it to good use, I don't need anything else that's more recent than that. And even then, the reason why I love my Switch is because of remakes and remasters. Same thing with my PSVita.
I actually don't plan on getting new consoles in a general way. If I'm ever bored and have a lot of free time I can just play what I have but never played, or replay one of the many games I have that I loved.

>>115062Congratz, anon!!!! He seems pretty fun to play as, specially his close range mode. I thought his story quest was ok-ish, I was hoping for him to be a bit crazier.
On that note, am I the only one kind of pissed off that Zhongli just straight up gave his gnosis to the Fatui?? I understand that he probably has a motive (maybe for them to keep Liyue out of their plans in the future idk) but just allying with them felt like a betrayal to Venti.

Anon from

>>114536 worked and I got two Childes back to back! Now saving for my next evil Harbinger husbando.
If anybody's on fence on getting Childe then I can wholeheartedly recommend, not only for amazing VA but also he made the gameplay so fun I spent two past days just killing everything on sight. Scrotes obviously bitch that the cooldown is too long because they can't just spam the attack button but I actually enjoy how you have to keep alert between his bursts which literally delete anything. Also his story quest made me literally cry from adorableness, I am so glad they kept him a bloodthirsty psychopath but managed to sneak some fluff in.
Can we get some love for best boy Benny? He's the cutest thing in this game, I got him the other day and can't stop playing him. Love how he's so unlucky even his birthday is on 2/29.

I think Childe is a bit difficult to play if you are used to unga-unga DPS. Also, scrotes like to bitch about anything that involves cute guys. Notice how they drool over Ayaka, Ganyu and Klee, yet they bitch about Zhongli and Childe all the time. Talk about male fragility kek. Even Venti gets shit from time to time.
I'm glad you're enjoying him though! Let's hope they release more Fatui characters soon so you can make your dream team. Scaramouche is the next one, I think.
I love Bennett. He's so cute and kind. I'm trying to build him, though is taking some time… I like how he's concerned about your wellbeing and even tries to disuade you from joining his team… Benny…
sob No. 115139
>>115112>>115119In addition to being adorable, Benny is a laughably strong DPS character. If you play your cards right and give him a good attack/pyro bonus he does insane damage. When it comes to his skillset Fantastic Voyage heals the party members, gives them an attack bonus and cuts down his own elemental skill cooldown. People overlook him because of Diluc but in my opinion he's a must-have addition to a team.
I managed to roll Childe which I'm ecstatic about but I still have to learn his meta correctly. If anyone has some strategy suggestions I'm all ears. His elemental melee attack is amazing but has a ginormous cooldown and his bow usage is way below Venti's in my opinion.

I know DA2 is a bit of a disappointment for many people (me included), but the story still is alright and important lore wise. Just keep in mind that it is widely known to be the weakest one out of the three
DAI is a must just for Patrick Weekes' amazing work on egg-boi character, who will play a heavy part on the upcoming DA4. DAI DLCs are all good imo, and one of them (Trespasser) is an actual necessity that brings closure to the game and foreshadows DA4

It's even framed as uncertain hope for Joel and Ellie moving forth. 2 knew their death of Joel was so poorly done they even hid the fact of how early on he dies by aging tv/trailer spots of flashbacks with Ellie
>Which mechanics? Actual gameplay was great and improved from the first game.

>>116569>suck a troon's dick Abby is confirmed not a troon. Did you even play the game, or did you just skim through a no-commentary playthrough and fill on the gaps with outrage reactions?
Muscled-out military chick with believable anatomy to reflect that =/= troon. The only transperson depicted in this game is a FtM and given post-apocalyptic rape culture and religious fanaticism, that makes perfect sense. Of course then, a woman would want to be a man. Even Abby got buff because she knew she had to be that way to survive and get revenge, she wasn't that muscular in the flashbacks.
I like this game specifically because it throws out typical male gaze bullshit that weak ass girls with balloon tits somehow kick major ass in post-apocalypse worlds.
While I agree that the pacing of the game was thrown off from swapping between Ellie/Abby's plot, it doesn't mean the plot sucked.
>they even hid the fact of how early on he died by aging tv/trailer spots of flashbacksOr that had to do with throwing people off the trail that Joel dies early in the game, not that they think it's bad in itself. Where do you even get that from?
>there was little gameplay differenceAnd here is where I don't know if your opinion should just be discarded because you clearly didn't play it, or at least couldn't be assed to watch videos of other people playing it to know.
>dodge mechanic >unlimited knife mechanic >puzzle mechanics including guitar playing >new infected types>improved combat flow>jump and stealth >no enemy spawn and optional enemies Even people who hate the plot agree that the gameplay and mechanics are way more fun in this one.
>you must be borderline retarded to think "Abby good Ellie BAAD" I didn't day this and neither did the game if you were paying attention to it. Both characters redeem themselves of revenge in the end, but since you're stuck on "Abby WOOOOOOORRSE" you can't see what the game did.
>misery torture porn Yeah I guess we should just go back to the FPS video games where we kill countless without a context and a plot instead. They were going for post-apocolyptic realism and they nailed it.

>>116672AM is really good because it doesn't have that one plot point
with the grey skinned underground illuminati being behind everything and stronger than any army while also weak little bitches at the same time that makes the whole game an incoherent mess so you can just pretend it doesn't exist. And it gets better if you're that worried about Dimitri. CF is the shittiest route, it's the shortest but it does have different objectives in the same maps so that's a plus, but the story becomes absolutely trash and you'll wonder what the story writers were smoking when working on this game sometimes when it comes to almost everything about Edelgard.
Playing several routes one after the other is a chore no matter the order tbh. Even the devs said they were shocked that many people did all the four routes in one go instead of choosing one route and talking about the others with other players.

>>116676thank you so much for letting me know about that plot point! that was by FAR one of my least favourite things about GD, and i was not looking forward to having to rehash it in the other three routes, holy fuck. that tron legacy ass battle in the underground was the stupidest fucking thing ever. i swear to god the dubstep song they used will haunt me forever
and that’s interesting! i can already see what you mean though. i think i dislike more characters in BE than i have the other houses (i cannot fucking stand bernadette, that little blue haired manlet fuck, and edelgard’s greasy ass incel looking weirdo bestie), and it’s kind of annoying that i’m clearly going to have to work to recruit and somehow use other characters like mercedes and lysithea to get the full story irt a ton of different plot points that they’ve briefly mentioned and then abandoned in GD/BL. i’m also already kind of bored just thinking about the church route too, but i think i’ll definitely be doing that one last either way.

>>116744Oh yes, Earthbound is a must play! You can also get Earthbound Zero/Beginnings if you want more of the same (but fair warning, it is the first game in the series and it's much weaker than Earthbound). You will probably want to use the easy ring unless you enjoy pointless grindfest.
You should also play A Link To The Past.
My personal strange favorite is Evo: Search for Eden. It's a bizzare sidescrolling platformer/action RPG in which you start as an ancient fish and evolve your way through ages, becoming a dinosaur, mammal and even (an ugly as hell) human. You attack and eat other creatures to gain exp (as seen in pic related). To evolve you buy new stronger (or just different) body parts. What little plot there is is a bizzare take on religion and history of our planet with some sci-fi touches (so pretty typical for Japanese creators kek). It has surprisingly touching moments though
like when you see the cave containing spirits of the dinosaur mama still nursing her baby. The music is pretty nice, love the art. Highly recommend this hidden gem.
A hint if you decide to play: if you get stuck on bosses,
remember that evolving a body part regains your HP! Abuse it and keep evolving something cheap like tail back and forward No. 116753

I am never up to date with consoles… ever. I’ve been playing a lot of online Soul Calibur 6 and creating custom characters and making a “gang” of rotating ones with their own goofy combinations of battle phrases, outfits and names. But I’m still not very good at online fighting.
I also started playing New Vegas and it’s fun but a little frustrating. I have a poor sense of direction so half of the time I’m spacing out getting lost before looking at the local map, and then suddenly and violently dying at the hands of a giant stinging bug that can somehow survive countless shotgun blasts and spiked knuckle punches.
It’s hard playing both because I’ll just stop playing before I get too frustrated, which happens a lot. Constantly losing and getting lost is how I play games apparently.
But Aggretsuko mobile however…. I am hopelessly addicted to it.

looks really cool, but there's very little interaction you can have with the people or the surroundings.

>>118435Dark Souls is my favorite game in the saga and my absolute favorite video game of all time, it's going to sound cliché but it really helped me during depressive episodes, and it was the first real hard game I played (I'm not a big gamer). My first character was a complete mess, I just put points randomly to be able to wield items I wanted to use in the moment, basically zero build lol.
I loved Bloodborne a lot, I think it's objectively the best Soulsborne game thanks to its gameplay, pacing and level design, but I totally understand why it was underwhelming to you, and the game went through a lot of rework and cut content, I wonder what the final game would have looked like as a DeS sequel. Ludwig is my favorite boss fight in any video game and probably my favorite Soulsborne character as well, I would die for him. I made a skill/bloodtinge build for my first character, I tried several weapons but I could never get enough of the cane, it was so stylish on my old lady. Also I hope they never make a second game, it's perfect as it is and doesn't need any additional content.
I never managed to get into DS2 for many of the usual reasons, but what really annoyed me was the aggroing of the enemies. I never finished it and I don't think I'll ever come back to it, which is a shame as I've heard the DLCs are quite good.
Kind of an unpopular opinion but I really like DS3, it's true it relies too much on memberberries but I thought it was very enjoyable, the atmosphere is the closest to DeS's, the environments are pleasant to explore and the Nameless King is a great addition to the more. Since I don't have time to play a lot anymore I've been stuck on Friede for a while, I really need to get back to it someday.
Also, I really liked Marvelous Chester's voice in DS so I tend to like the other characters his VA has done, namely Djura and Oceiros, even if this guy is kinda lame lol.

>>118498Yeah, Gascoigne is great, from what I've seen of the JP fandom he is one of the big Soulsborne husbandos with Solaire, Artorias and NK, like I mentioned earlier I have more of a thing for Djura because of his voice and personality, I love when people draw them interacting.
For DS2 I unfortunately bought the vanilla game on the PS3 way back when it was released (I was insanely hyped) and bought the DLCs discounted, I didn't even reach the first boss of the first one because of how disoriented I was. This version of the game must be so dead now, I heard that SotFS provides a much better experience of the game, but I'm a bit iffy about buying again a game that didn't give me great impressions.
>>118500It's more an ensemble than a character that I like, the way he is built up gradually throughout the base game is intriguing, he is a tragic figure embodying the failure of the hunt, the score in the fight is phenomenal, him regaining his sanity was nicely set up, his final words were kinda moving… I think he has a great design as well despite the gross factor and I really enjoyed the fight, pretty hard but still fair, more like a test of might to see if you're ready for the DLC (not like the Orphan or Laurence). Of course this is all surface level as Soulsborne characters are not deep Shakespearean protagonists, but for some reason Ludwig touched me more than other characters.

Finished first part of Cyberpunk story (to the point of seeing Silverhand for the first time); basic PS4, 15h, crashed once, few visual bugs, once needed to reload the quest to have objectives update and thats it. People who say it's unplayable are completely unhinged, it plays well and looks good for what it is, one problem would be framerate drop when there are too many people shooting.
Even though it was out there in marketing that the heist mission is gonna go bad and Jackie will die it still broke my heart, the writting and pacing entire quest is amazing. I cried like a stupid baby Jackie was too good and didn't deserve any of this, he even took the chip himself initially despite being already hurt and not knowing what it will do to him, real friend. Looking forward the rest of the game even though the marketing made me feel a bit fed up with "wholesome Keanu"'s face, so I'm not that excited ot be seeing him now all the time.

No. 118913
>>118906People forget The Witcher was buggy and needed tons of patches and updates before being a "good" game. FFIX was pulled from the PSStore in 2010, and Square Enix is doing just fine now. I think CDPR will ultimately be fine, but they should have been more conservative with their release date statements because they will take a blow both financially and in reputation from this.
They repeatedly shot themselves in the foot by setting expectations for content and release dates too high and too early, and now they've fucked up by trying to save face for being late by releasing a subpar product. I think they generated enough hype that even the bad press combined with returns will not sink them, but they need to get a new management team and style. They're not the little baby indie game company that struck gold anymore. They're a massive corporation and they need to implement policies that are reflective of the higher stakes.
I don't get the impression they will pack up shop and leave fans with a buggy product. However, I think they need to reevaluate their relationship with their fanbase. It goes without saying that most gamers are entitled crybabies, and it's stupid to try and appease everyone. If the game needs to be on next-gen consoles, make it known, instead of trapping yourself in this PR nightmare. There's clearly a lack of communication between testing, development and management that needs to be rectified.

>>119382Speaking of difficulty, I'm on easy mode (no bully, I'm really not used to fps mechanics) and the first enemies in the rescue gig with Jackie practically wiped the floor with me. The big guy one shotted me twice. Not sure if glitching or I just need to git gud and plug in the mouse. Doesn't help that the aim on default settings is slippery, aim assist does nothing, and the recoil is pretty strong so you have to re-aim after every shot.
Game's really solid though, I'm enjoying it.
Any tips for combat and builds?
No. 119435
>>119409That first bit is completely set up to stealth, why you trying to get into a firefight in such an enclosed space?
I mostly double jump to rooftops and try to snipe, stealth, and if I'm lazy just brute force 'non-lethal' baseball bat.
>>119423I had to post that because I seriously rage quit on Genshin because of annoying forced difficulty. And even though I love Destiny there's still time limited story and content you need to have friends or be an FPS god to complete. Being able to take things at your own pace is seriously underrated.

>>119409Gun combat has to be one of the worst parts about Cyberpunk. I'd recommend to git gud on stealth and spend all points in combat hacking, after you reach lvl 16 or so you unlock instakill hacks and can take down an entire squad without even getting out your weapon.
If you get the OS from the ripperdoc in Charter Hill the ultimate hacks can jump to a nearby enemy, so you can chain the suicide hack to more enemies.
Melee is far superior in this game overall, don't even bother with guns.

I finally went and bought Dragon Age Inquisition and played for a couple of hours today. The character creation screen being green as shit made picking colors rather hard, wish they'd done something neutral. The movement feels kinda clunky as well as the bizarre choice of the wide camera view on some dialog. Idk if it's my sound card or what but the camera zooms out so far that the character speaking to me is but a whisper, I can barely hear them unless I trick the camera closer using collision. Gonna need to mod it a bit to get looting to be faster and fix that shit camera.
What the FUCK is wrong with Cassandra's voice actress??? She sounds wooden and retarded at all times, idk why she is the only character that sounds this way. It's like they gave up on directing her. Her accent is weird too. I really hate this character.
Elf Egg looks bizarre but I do enjoy him a lot so far. Dwarfman is chill. Ambassador lady is going to be my wife I think. Her dumb golden blouse (????) is an issue but I will move past it… for her. Haven't met like half the cast yet obv but I do like the folks I've got. Blonde military guy was chill. I don't understand what they were going for with the ginger spymaster. What is her accent? What is her vibe? Idk, she's off imo.

>>119459She's Orlesian so French. The VA was born in France but lives in the UK. idk, I always found her accent very Europudding and odd too.
Leliana's demeanor in this game made sense to me in context of the many, many things that happened to her over the previous two. She's probably going to be the worst fit if you don't know her backstory, but she's not really a main character in DAI. You should be fine.I had to restart three or four times due to the ugly fucking lighting in the chargen screen. Get into the game and realize that not only is everything off, you have a steep slope for a forehead in profile.

My elf whose ears i made huge, love them that way no bully is a mage. Probably going to go the knight-enchanter route.
Today I downloaded some QoL mods, massive improvements. I also modded out Josephine's atrocious gold blouse. I generally don't mind when NPCs don't look like my ideal since their personalities matter a lot more to me however had to give The Egg some scalp texture and Sera a new haircut. What mods would you recommend anons? Looking for gameplay related stuff mostly, I don't really care to modify the character art beyond this point. I've got:
>Skyhold pajama replacement
>Solas, Josephine, Sera tweaks
>War table timegate removed
>Quick looting
>Conversation camera zoom
I miss blood magic sand I saw at least one mod that adds it in by changing necromancy. Has anyone here tried the more gameplay-related mods? Also the movement feels really janky, I think I'm so used to more actiony games where steering is snappy. The character's running acceleration feels like I'm driving a car lol hope it'll get more comfortable as time goes on.

>>119582Well I am back!! I do take a long time to play games like these tbh. I've just finished fighting
Alexius and spoke to my companions back at the base afterwards. My choice was a divisive one amongst my allies apparently so I guess I'll keep hearing about it till the end lmao
I sided with the mages since my inky is an elf mage and I'm riding some "fuck you people set us frEEEEEE" wave with her. IRL I genuinely didn't wanna side with either faction tbh, reminded me of the Skyrim conflict where I also really did not enjoy either side in any capacity. It did make me laugh when that templar straight up punched that chantry lady right when I was thinking she's really annoying though. In the end I felt the rebel mages were kinda screwed over by the writers and I'm ok with my choice to side with them despite their cowardly antics. I don't really get why they'd immediately hand over their fate to Tevinter when they can all do fucking magic and frankly should not need help. I completely fry the shit out of templars as an unremarkable mage (rift speshul chosen bs doesn't count since it doesn't amplify my magic, atm anyway), so can they. I'm unclear on why templars are effective at controlling mages in general. It's just dudes in armor? They're not even paladins. Admittedly I've not done a super deep dive into the lore so perhaps I simply don't get the story yet.
So far the story is kinda goofy imo but I'm really enjoying the companion characters. Josephine, Cullen, Cassandra (despite her atrocious VA), even Leliana whose vibes I initially didn't enjoy are now quite endearing to me. Leliana's withered look in the
time shenanigans was honestly awesome and I enjoyed how she blew up at me and Dorian about how all the shit that transpired was very much real to her and our jokes fucking blow. It was a good moment. I'll consider going back to Origins to learn more about her. I keep hearing about "softening" her at the end of DAI and I don't really… want to? She is cool the way she is. She doesn't have to like me or open up to me. Seems like people feel entitled to her emotional availability.
I was really enjoying Dorian and was going to bring him along despite not liking his spec but then I had a long conversation that ended with him saying something along the lines of
>i think slavery is ok actuallyand I am no longer gonna bring him with me, sorrey luv xx. What a shame, I thought his theater kid energy was top notch. His views on the politics of his homeland otherwise were alright with me, good even. I just can't see my elf character being okay with a slavery advocate.
Vivienne I grew tired of and can't really see my character wanting to be around her either since she believes the complete opposite of what my character stands for so I've dropped her too. I may bring Solas along as a support mage, his barriers were quite good and his voice is soothing. Do I need a barrier spamming companion? I kind of don't want to bring a support mage at this point. I'd rather bring like 2 warriors and a rogue and call it a day. PLS LET ME KNOW
Iron Bull has been described as "frat douche with no personality" to me before and I can't believe people think that about him. He's pretty blunt and playful which is my jam. I also love his silhouette, what a fun design.
While Sera is appealing to me in theory, she is genuinely stupid and I'm not sure I can handle it. I was hoping to romance her because her intro was delightful but since then I've tried speaking to her and she is just a complete moron. I haven't met the 3rd rogue yet so maybe I'll swap her for him and just not romance anyone.
Blackwall seemed okay, I can't say I'm excited to have him around but I suspect I just didn't give him enough of a chance to shine. Cassandra I do like a lot but her voice actor is a complete failure in my eyes, I just can't stand her.
Plotwise I guess I'm quite early on still. I spent time just sorta frolicking around and exploring the different zones. I'm extremely fond of the stormy area. I keep going to the beach and staring at the water. What a beautiful place.
I should have seen this coming and perhaps not picked this game up but I'm growing a little tired of the constant religious babble I'm subjected to in cutscenes and dialog. It's not that I'm an atheist
well I am but idk how many times my inky has to reiterate to these NPCs that she is Dalish and has her own set of fucking gods and does not wanna hear this shit! It's my own allies approaching me with the religious topics sometimes and it's like… did the writers care at all? Idk.
>so anon, you are THE HERALD right? You believe it right? We should tell people about you being THE HERALD>mfw, stanting there with my gigantic knife ears and my blue face paint signifying my god JuneIt keeps happening.

>>119604No, they are not related, you can play them in any order you want. The first five share some plot elements (there are powerful crystal that the main antagonists are trying to seize and you have to stop them), but from 6 the stories get a little more varied. The name 'Final' Fantasy comes from the creators expecting to go bankrupt and they thought that Final Fantasy I would be their swan song, but it turned out to be a success. These are all role playing games, and being narrative-heavy, they feature a lot of cutscenes, just a heads-up if you're not familiar with RPGs. The best selling entries of the franchise are 7, 8, 10, 13 and 15

>>119604Here's a summary of all the games plots':
copied and pasted from TvTropesFinal Fantasy (1987): A miasma is sweeping the world. The wind stops, the sea is wild, the earth begins to rot, and fire's been acting pretty sketchy, too. It's up to four warriors to rekindle the Crystals that control the elements. But the story contains more surprises than the opening crawl would have one think.
Final Fantasy II (1988): A spoilt Emperor has made a pact with Hell, swarming the world with demonic troops. It's up to a ragtag resistance movement to slow the Empire's progress; stopping the Emperor may prove impossible. Rather than pick warrior classes at the outset, players gradually mold their characters' skills through the use of spells and weapons. Though novel, most fans remember II as the one where clubbing yourself with a sword increased HP. Introduced the concept of guest characters joining the party, including the series' very first Dragoon.
Final Fantasy III (1990): Four youths are tapped by a mysterious crystal to restore balance to the elements and defeat a sorcerer named Xande who has strengthened himself with a mysterious power. Took a page from Dragon Quest III by implementing a Job System, allowing characters to switch classes at will, and threw players a curveball with its expanding overworld. (Though an airship is found early on, upgrades are required to float over mountains and other nuisances.) Easily has the most sadistic final level in the series, though the rest of the game is actually somewhat easier than the first two titles. Was never released outside of Japan until a full 3D remake on DS in 2006. The original 2D version has still never been officially released in English as of 2019.
Final Fantasy IV (1991): When Cecil, the man in charge of the empire's flying battalion of doom, grows weary of harassing innocent people, his paranoid King fires him. Big mistake. IV had the most gripping storyline in the series thus far, with a massive rotating cast, multiple overworlds (à la III), and an overarching theme of redemption. Like III, it later received a full 3D remake.
Final Fantasy V (1992): The elements are wreaking havoc, the King of Tycoon has gone missing, and it somehow all ties into an asteroid which crashed just outside the castle, narrowly missing a young wanderer named Bartz. The job system makes a comeback with a whopping 22 jobs (plus an additional four in the GBA version), making this the most-customizable FF title outside of Tactics.
Final Fantasy VI (1994): FF begins its steady march toward cyberpunk with this steampunk adventure, set in the aftermath of a world-destroying magical war. A warlike Emperor has discovered a way to revive the lost power of magic through artificial means, which serves as the start of foreboding cataclysm. The job system is shelved, yet again, though the character classes themselves have been rolled into 14 unique player characters. The most aesthetically and musically stunning FF of its age, pushing the SNES to its limits. This marks the point where Square became a god-tier developer.
Final Fantasy VII (1997): Set in a gritty Diesel Punk world, an eco-terrorist group stage bombings on the facilities of an energy conglomerate which mines the planet's life force as fuel. Meanwhile, a presumed-deceased mercenary by the name of Sephiroth plots the world's downfall on orders from his Lovecraftian mother. VII marked the peak of the JRPG craze, and while not a PS1 launch title, it was the biggest incentive for gamers to buy the console. It also boasts the largest Expanded Universe of any entry, collectively called the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.
Final Fantasy VIII (1999): VII was a hard act to follow, but VIII proved a solid (if esoteric) successor: Squall Leonhart attends a military academy which prepares teenagers for war against the Sorceress, who has risen to power and is imposing her iron fist on the world. The 'school days' plots borrow a few notes from Shin Megami Tensei, and are regarded by many as the game's high points. Gameplay deviated from the norm by using the "junction" system for battles.
Final Fantasy IX (2000): IX is a throwback to the NES/SNES titles, right down to the Super-Deformed characters, a four-man party, a medieval fantasy world, and mythology gags related to past games. A princess engineers her own kidnapping in order to be free of her despotic mother, who has recently come under the influence of a strange Arms Dealer. A world-spanning adventure follows, involving the would-be kidnapper, a princess in disguise, her loyal knight, and a young mage struggling with his existence. Notable for being one of the more philosophical entries in the series despite its bright and cheery packaging.
Final Fantasy X (2001): Star-athlete Tidus is pulled through time, washing up in a post-apocalyptic future where technology is outlawed and cities are constantly attacked by an immortal Eldritch Abomination. His only path home, or so it seems, is to accompany a group of pilgrims on their journey to make the land peaceful again. The first fully-voiced FF title, with a competent English dub. Also experimented with Conditional Turn-Based mechanics (CTB), which affected turn order depending on the action selected. Though successful, it was soon discarded in favor of more modern Active Time Battle systems.
Final Fantasy XI (2002, expansions released from 2003-2015): A MMORPG set in the fantasy world of Vana'diel. Still reeling from the aftermath of a great war with "the Shadow Lord" twenty years prior, three nations brace themselves when the Shadow Lord's Beast Tribe minions organize themselves into a coherent force once again. Like XIV after it, numerous expansions led to an extensive and evolving storyline. Known for being particularly brutal (amongst the most brutal games in the series, for that matter). The most profitable title in the series, by virtue of running a paid subscription service for over ten years.
Final Fantasy XII (2006): The first game to be published following the merger with Enix. Things are looking grim for Ivalice when Dalmasca, the biggest obstacle to the Archadian Empire, falls overnight after their king is murdered by one of his own knights. However, something about the whole mess doesn't add up, and a team of adventurers — including a destitute princess, a pair of sky pirates, and an orphan from the streets — are compelled to break the supposed traitor out of jail and discover the truth. The gameplay of XII is modeled on a MMORPG, but with linear quests and various characters/races/summons from Tactics.
Final Fantasy XIII (2009): The story takes place in the floating, isolationist mini-Dyson sphere of Cocoon. Several hundred years ago, a "War of Transgression" took place between Cocoon and the vast, lush, primeval surface world, Pulse. Since then, Cocoon's governmental body ruthlessly "purges" anyone who comes into contact with Pulse. A former soldier, Lightning, is forced to go on the lam after her sister is branded a Pulse l'Cie, servants of the godlike beings called fal'Cie of the planet below, and nabbed by the government.
Final Fantasy XIV (2010/2013): Another MMORPG, set in the nation of Eorzea, which faces threats from an ongoing war with the ruthless and technologically advanced military state Garlemald and its Tin Tyrant generals, while also dealing with the beast-tribes and their Primals, as well as the enigmatic Ascians.
Final Fantasy XV (2016): Warrior Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum goes on a road trip with his friends to marry his fiancée and retrieve his kingdom's stolen Power Crystal from invaders to prevent the world from entering a night of eternal darkness. The game is notable for completely abandoning turn-based combat for action RPG gameplay, along with a Western RPG-style Wide Open Sandbox. The setting itself, Eos, is also significantly different from predecessors: branding itself as a "fantasy based on reality", XV has the most "realistic" setting of the main series, resembling a mid/late-20th century earth with Physical Gods, limited Magitek, and real-world consumer brands. Also has a "Pocket Edition" that simplifies and abridges the game for release on less powerful hardware, but was still released on the same platforms as the original version.

Melee is a clusterfuck though, I'm going to have to drop one of the tanks I think, 4 melee characters trying to fight stuff gets incredibly hectic especially cause I don't really like to use tactical cam
My inquisitor started off as some kind of Dalish supremacist lol but the way I'm RPing her is her interactions with "city elves" and Solas has made her reconsider how she sees her own race. I think it would make sense that Solas in particular whose views my character hella respects would get her to reconsider the way she identifies. I think she'd come to reconsider Dalish culture and realize it's not really as pure as she was lead to believe growing up. As much as I dislike Vivienne, she has also raised good points on how mages aren't free in my clan as much as I give the circle shit for restrictions on magic. I'm starting to transition to dialog choices that focus more on her mage background or her interest in being an individual as opposed to an icon, rather than going for the Dalish dialog option. Going from being one of the important mages in her clan to being a HERALD!!! to being INQUISITOR!!!!!!!! must be really annoying. It's been chipping away at her sense of self I imagine.
I'm hoping Sera will end up liking my inky more once we get to dunk on some nobles together. My interest in her was her Robin Hood shtick in the first place so I'm thinking once I get to show her that side of my inky she'll warm up more. Currently she's too exposed to my character trying to forge an "elves gotta look out for each other" type of bond and catering to mages, both things she really doesn't respond well to.

>>119608Agree on FF7, there was a sale on Switch and I got it and it’s really awesome. I just forgot how much care there was in older games, whereas some newer games can be done and finished in about 20h. Plus I forgot about all of those weird mini-games like snowboarding, slap fights etc.
The only thing that pisses me off about retro games is the lack of explanation. I get that back in the days we had booklets and games magazines that would explain things but sometimes the lack of clear path is annoying, or explanation of certain materias.
Still, I’m impressed by the nice rhythm of the game, and the Switch version lets you speed up some parts so grinding isn’t too bothersome. Plus I feel like modern Cloud is kinda depicted as this super serious dude whereas in the original he can be a bit of a joker at times.

Dragon Age Inquisition anon is back to scream into the aether about this game!
Overall trying not to metagame other than looking up milestones for the romance stuff (like DO THIS QUEST FIRST BEFORE THIS OTHER ONE) because the romance system feels a bit arcane to me with the
triggers. That being said I'm finding that I don't have to look up what characters wanna hear like ever. I say what my character would, considering how she has interacted with that character in the past and her own beliefs, and most of the time the other character approves or only slightly disapproves. There are some characters that she does not get along with like Cassandra and Gisele but that is to be expected and good. It feels nice not to google approval changes just to achieve a connection with the NPCs. That part feels unlike a dating sim where you generally have to buy gifts and cater completely to them. In DAI you can be your own person and disagree with someone and they'll react maturely most of the time. Only when you strongly contradict their own strong convictions do they have an argument and even then it's a conversation and not a fight. I looked up the hostile conversations for characters I'm on great terms with and they all seem like fulfilling moments where you still experience that character in a meaningful way. I REALLY like the rp in this game.
WEWH was really cool. I wasn't too happy about the timer but I realized it wasn't that punishing afterall. The dowager said she'd dance with me later but never did. Kinda sad about that, I wanted even more court intrigue and less sneaking about tbh. I chose to
have Briala control Gaspard because I couldn't
reconcile Celene and Briala which I do think would have been a better outcome for elves but eh. Guessing I used my door keys wrong or something. Solas' vibe at the Winter Palace was kinda cool. I didn't expect to see a side to him that likes to party. I also found out a cool tidbit about the hat he normally wears (that I modded out since it clips through his skull) on Reddit that I'll share here
https://www.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/b3w79t/spoilers_all_the_reason_why_solas_wears_that_dumb/For HLTA I chose to
spare Hawke not for a metagame reason but really because Varric was visibly attached to him and my inky would consider that. Varric is not in my party but he gets along very well with my inky, as a close friend. I know some people justify leaving
Hawke behind by saying "if anyone can, they can get out of the fade" but I really don't see that happening. Whomever you left behind is sure to
die imo, anything other than that would be plot armor. In the end I
exiled the Grey Wardens, along with that lady who specifically asks to be executed. I feel like my character has seen enough people turn to questionable things to "do good" and it's at this point not enough to feel remorse. You also need to atone and process what you did and move beyond just feeling sorry or asking to be killed for sweet release. The line where inky said "I'm not a sword for you to fall on" felt like a great character moment. Sometimes the dialog options say one thing and the voice actor says some completely different sounding line but this felt great. I'm unsure why the dialog options don't just feature a real sentence I'm about to say tbh. At times I pick one thing but say a wildly different thing. The vibe is off and I have to reload sometimes.
I'm looking forward to whatever is next! I've mainly focused on Emerald Graves and Exalted Plains as well as Crestwood. I liked the storylines in those areas. I did
some stuff in Hinterlands but it's such a Skyrim zone that I basically had zero interest in it. Just boring and the quests feel so trifling. Fallow Mire is a neat idea but the shit coming out of the water got old for me. I'm hoping to come back to Storm Coast (my favorite zone) to yeet that high dragon sometime. I'm thinking of doing Emprise du Lion next, seems elfy? I'm not gonna complete every zone or anything because I want to have things to experience for my other runs with characters that have reasons to care about the things happening in those zones.

>>120720in BL i’m where they’re about to help my king claude because he’s getting his shit fucked up by the empire, i think. so about 3/4ths of the way through iirc?
in BE, i’m pretty early on - i think i’ve just rescued flayn and monica, so i’ve got a whiiiiile to go. i do feel more attached to BE already - i think it’s in part because i’ve played everything else before it so i’m excited to discover more about edel, and i’m really interested to recruit specific people because i know their supports with locked characters are interesting.
like i said tho, i can’t stand a good portion of the class in BE, but imo it’s better than BL where i just found them so boring. even the supports were super fucking dull - it was basically just everyone but mercedes being racist to dedue, and felix being a cunt to everyone but annette (though they are adorable tbh). i think if i take a break from it, i might be able to get into it, though. i did like dimitri after he stopped being such a whiny bitch, and i really do wanna finish up all the supports, so… we’ll see! i think a good break from playing in general is always a positive anyway.
all that being said - i still miss claude every day of my life. nobody will ever come close to him for me

Scrotes keep complaining how there's too much reading in the game, but there's actually no depth to it. It feels like 2 acts were cut from the story between Act 2 and the ending.
Johnny is gone beforeactually get to warm up to him, no matter how much the game tries to shove him in our face. The side characters become our lovers overnight but there's not much to the relationship past the sex scene, except a video snippet in the credits. The side quests are impossibly dull, and the few ones with actual story to it - like Sinnerman, Dream On, River's story quest - have virtually 0 repercussions or impact on the game once they're done.The game definitely has the potential with the sheer size of the playable map, but it was too short to be good. I feel like they've spread themselves too thin with the size of the game and didn't have time to properly utilise it in the story.
I'm hoping for DLCs but not expecting much.

>>120796I prefer P4 personally. Mostly because of the setting and characters, but I also think it juggles the VN and RPG sections better than in P3. I was rarely ever bored or burnt out while playing P4, but by the end of P3 I was ready for the grind to end
No. 120899
>>120854Really? To me it was the opposite,
it was more emotional than all the previous trailers made it to be so the launch trailer vibe is what we actually got.
I can't listen to that song without crying like a baby now.For what I've had the chance to see, Judy and Panam had the most fleshed out, satisfying relationship paths, while Kerry and River were easily missable and shallow in comparison. It kinda felt like straight male V and lesbian female V were the canon. Good to me since I romanced Judy, rip to the Kerry and River romancers though.
After their sidequests end you can still interact with them via phone, you can also visit them.
As for Johnny, if you get to 70% with him you can definitely see how his relationship with V gets warmer and changes him.We'll be getting dlcs and expansions just like in TW3, so we're definitely getting more content out of it.

4 has a really slow start, but it depends what you're into more I guess. If you want a darker, edgier game that touches on the topic of death go for 3. If you want a happier, cheerful game that deals with murder mystery go for 4.

>>120901 I wonder why Shin Megami Tensei games don't let you be a girl more often. I can understand why they don't usually do it in the Persona series, because it would mean rewriting a lot of the social links and character interactions.
But why don't they ever give you the option in the mainline SMT games, where there isn't any social sim stuff? The characters are usually blank slates, even more so than in the persona games, and there's very little rewriting they'd have to do to make the MC female.
I guess it's just a combination of laziness and sexism on atlus's part.

>>120941The devs create very specific MCs, who happen to be teenage boys or young adult men most of the time, but they're still sticking with them being silent protagonists for the sake of tradition, so the same reason as Pokemon and Dragon Quest. They try to make the male protagonists be androgynous one way or another because they know Japanese female SMT fans loe pretty boys and want to still relate to the MCs, but I'd rather be able to choose between playing as a guy and a girl. At least Tamaki is the canon choice, I guess.

I've never played Persona before, which game is the best place to start? Is the series sequential, or can I start wherever?
No. 120960
>>120953Start anywhere you want, the games take place in the same setting and there's some continuity but it's not even that important. Most people will recommend either P3, P4 or P5, because they play more or less the same way. P3 and its rerelease P3 FES are a bit different in that you don't directly control all the party members, only the MC, so if that bothers you play P3P.
Persona 1 has aged, play it only if you really love old JRPGs. Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment are meant to be played in that order, I only played IS and liked it, but again, it has aged and what people praise the most is the story. I'd say, only try them once you're done with the other games. If you end up liking P3, 4 and 5 I'd rather recommend you try other "recent" Megami Tensei games like SMT3 and 4, or DDS.

>>120796There are easter eggs and such from P3 in P4. And actually one or two foreshadow/eggs in P3. P3 was the first I played and I played it many times. Having done my 2nd playthrough of 4 recently, I'd say the dungeons have more themed variety and theres more freedom to how you spend your time outside of it. However I think it drags on and on with a bunch of teasing of the conclusion when you're playing for a more complete run and to get the true ending.
But I think it's always best to go chronologically. If you can play P3 portable or whatever version let's you play female MC, I'd definitely go for that.

No. 121043
>>121030No way that would happen, given how completely different most social links are in P3P if you pick the female protagonist I'm sure the writers would consider a female protagonist a completely separate character as any male protagonist sharing the same game, and would actually give her very different dialogues in some social links and scenes.
Imagine if Persona 4 had a female MC you could choose before starting the game, I'm sure some of the dialogues would be very different, and some characters like Yosuke and Rise would behave very differently in their social links.
>And yeah, gay characters too please.Let's hope the new Persona devs won't have a stick their asses and will do it. Sometimes I think about how close we were to having Yosuke as a gay option and how that would explain so many things about him and I'm getting more and more confused as to why the devs removed the option at the very last minute without rewriting the script, and added even more fanservice between the MC and Yosuke in next games.

I've finished DAI and now I'm back to DAO, in Lothering. Can't say I enjoy the combat one bit so I may grab a skip combat mod so I can do the story instead. As much as I hated Morrigan in DAI, I'm enjoying her in DAO. Alistair and she absolutely loathe each other already and their banter is enjoyable. Not too sure about the story yet since I've only just begun playing but I'm finding the weird remarks about women grating as fuck. At some point my character had the option to say some shit like
>I'm the bravest here and I'm a woman!
Ew.
I'm playing as an elf mage (again). I like that you can be a bit of a shitlord in dialogue though I can't say I have a good sense of my character yet. Even though the game seems to suggest my origin matters a lot I felt that the tutorial area was kind of lacking in that aspect. My character didn't know basic ass things about the place where she supposedly spent a lot of time. She was asking elementary questions and I felt that was clumsy. I understand it's to dump exposition on players but that is precisely what I find clumsy. There are ways to give information without having someone bluntly ask how things work and it is called for especially if I am to believe my protagonist is a trained mage. How the fuck would she not know what a Tranquil is, or who the NPCs are, or how The Circle operates. The dialogue could have been worded in a way where it still gives the player info while not just being a hard tutorial vibe. Films/books do this all the time, at least the successful ones manage to show and not tell.
I'm hoping the annoying info dump segment of the game is mostly over. I'm really enjoying the companion banter and hope they are as engaging as the DAI ones that I've grown to really care for.
Also how the fuck do you avoid accidentally flirting with people??? I think I accidentally flirted with Alistair at least twice now and I had no idea that's how it was gonna come across to him.

What you see on youtube is usually compilation of bugs from many players, chances you'll encounter more than one of them are extremely low. Game looks good; only issue would be framerate which drops noticeably when you fight a lot of enemies in a small, closed space; also when you move fast you'll notice textures load around you, but this legit takes 1-2s max. I've experienced about 4 crashes so far, only happens when I play for more than 5h non stop, and really doesn't matter much because game autosaves very often, so no loss. As for the look itself, it's still gorgeous even without all the fancy light reflexions only most powerful PCs can have.
Alternatively you could use geforce NOW service but you'd need a very good internet connection and probably some patience because I know when the game launched some of my friends had to wait in the queue for hours.

The "you're dying" bomb was dropped so early in the game, and after that you have so many characters urging you to "get back on your feet and fight, there's hope as long as you're still alive". All the hints given throughout the game point to a chance of survival. This game throws spirituality in your face, hinting time and time again to get up and fight, to find hope in hopelessness, because hope only ever rewards the ones who refuse to resign to their fate. It spells it out for you so much that having the protagonist dying anyway in all endings would cheapen everything. Not to mention, it's not fun for an RPG game to have the same outcome no matter what you do.
Also: both the nomad and the Crystal Palace ending are the only endings in which Misty gives you a positive tarot reading. Misty knows everything. No. 121846
>>121807not one of those anons but do you think they will be talking about DA forever? I doubt there is a point, though if DA anons like the idea, they should make it happen!
Anyway how about talking other vidya? What are you playing right now?
or are you one of Cyberpunk anons? No. 121857

Question to anons that played ACNH and AC: Pocket Camp - if I got bored of Pocket Camp after 2 weeks, is there any chance I'd actually like New Horizons? How much more things to do are there and so on? I've always wanted to play Animal Crossing in the past, never had a chance before Pocket Camp and was somewhat disappointed, but maybe it's mobile version of the game that is not that engaging and a "full one" is actually good? I just got a Switch and wonder what to do.

>>121857Honestly I liked it a lot and felt worth. The online community is fun too and i had a ball trading on discords to get my fave villagers!
Also pocket camp is inferior bc no Ankha

>>121857Hey anon, you might !
However, it does not have the personality of the old games (I played wild world which absolutely mops the floor with acnh conversation maps and choices) there is more stuff To Do, but currently Nintendo has nerfed everything fun like drop rates and encounters to make children beg their parents for the PTP online feature
I'd give the game a high 6/10, or a 7/10 if I was a child and didnt have standards. If this was my first ACNH game is may be higher.

>>121857pocket camp is nothing like a real AC game, so don't hold any expectations based on it. i'd personally definitely recommend NH - other anons are being mad overdramatic about it.
it's also easy to download emulators for the gamecube version/wild world for ds/city folk for wii, so if you don't like NH specifically but you enjoy the vibe of the game in general, they're always options!

Want to warn the anon-chan that you wont be able to refund this game once u buy it.
I'd say give previous games a shot through emulator, the new game is not as good.

Anons do you have any recommendations of games like beyond good and evil? With that i mean similar aesthetics or date of release (90's - 2005), since my shit laptop can't run better games.

>>121971I agree but probably to other anons they are weeb shit just because they are japanese.
I don't like the idea of two threads, just post about whatever you like and ignore uninteresting posts.

>>121996someone may play either of those for the first time and talk about their feelings about it? come on, no need to nitpick. the divide idea is stupid af
Also Kojima and Fromsoft are making new games, so the problem will persist
No. 122025
>>122017Neither did I, anon. Worse was getting 3 out of 20ish Fall DIYs after spending way too much time camping balloons. Still, I did think Toy Day and New Year were cute.
I have a feeling I won't be playing by April if there isn't a significant update.

>>122027as a MGS sperg, i'm looking forward to reading your posts!
BTW have you played Galerians on PS? If no, consider giving the game a shot someday if you like late 90's dark anime/manga. It's flawed (one of the bosses is infuriating), but has great mood imho. In a way, it's like Kingdom Hearts 1 if it was edgy and depressing with MGS-type weirdo bosses. It's not a crossover of any kind, but the hero reminds me of Sora if Soren wrote him (he takes drugs to explode enemies with his psionics) and the main love interest is literally Kairi (not a good thing I know, but she is not annoying at least).
TBH I'm surprised Soren is not obsessed with this series, probably because it's niche and dead. No. 122147
>>122121Yes, it's considered a survival horror I think! It has those classic controls and you need to manage your drugs as they have different effects. There is also a PS2 sequel which I never played, as it was considered a bad game. I wish I gave it a shot though. The first Galerians is underappreciated. The mood is incredible, especially in the hotel location.
Fuck I wanna replay it but my PSP has mysteriously died and then disappeared. NGL, I hate playing on PC.

>>122365That's how I played Dragon Age Origins (skip combat mod) but honestly that made the game feel even worse in a way. I'm not sure Baldur's Gate fares much better. The games are developed with the combat in mind as part of the content so the void left by the lack of it is felt. Fighting and toiling alongside your companions is part of how you bond with them, turns out, so over-reliance on dialog to carry the experience when the game was developed to include other aspects that help you forge that connection causes it to become something worse than a visual novel basically. Time also feels super warped, like it's all taking place within a day.
That was my experience anyway.
