i hopped back onto Destiny 2 again this weekend after i took a month-long break and it feels like coming home, sappy as that is. :') the new season starts next week and i'm really looking forward to it! Bungie has been doing pretty well with the story the last handful of seasons, so i'm excited to see what they have planned this time around.

Anons, please play Cult of the Lamb. I'm amazed by how good it is. For those who aren't sure about getting it because it's a roguelike, I'll say that the game is worth the money based on the cult management sim part alone. The roguelike segments are honestly pretty secondary to your duties to the cult, and I find myself fulfilling cult followers' requests and performing rituals and sermons more frequently than I battle. It's like Binding of Isaac meets Animal Crossing. I play on normal difficulty and it's been relatively easy so long as I'm focused; there are other difficulties (easy, hard, and extra hard) that I haven't played either.
Will warn console players that there are a few softlocks to be cautious of in the early game. I play on PC and I haven't encountered any on my run, but it seems like those on Xbox and PS5 have had to restart a few times. Anyways, sorry for the sperg, play it!

>>231290Definitely exceeded my expectations based on the lukewarm response my moid friends had. Got it anyway, glad I did. My gf watches me play sometimes, my first follower was based on her and I unlocked the
resurrection ritual so I can keep her forever. I even married her and we smooch irl when the game characters smooch… This game is as cute as it is edgy.
My problem with the roguelite segment has been that the more you advance the combat-related tree, the worse the options get because it opens up your weapon pool to things that may not suit your playstyle. I hate the slow weapons and a bunch of the curses but I have no way of "speccing" into any kinda build. Is there a build-focused feature later down the line? I cleared the first two dungeons and am on the last stage of the third one and if I get the super slow hammer I just wanna ragequit lol.

>>231284Download RetroArch, a multi-emulator program, then install a N64 core, I believe it's called Mupen64Plus. Configure the emulator's controls to your liking.
I would recommend Project64 which is the emulator I grew up and I'm most familiar with, but the devs have turned it into nagware now (the donation message you get every time you open it becomes more and more annoying each time) and I forgot which was the last decent version. Something like 1.7 I think.
Step 2 is finding the game. I recommend getting it from no-intro's N64 collection.
Also play the original MM, the 3DS version changed a lot of things for worse. In the last thread some people mentioned how one of the most fun parts of the original MM was Zora Link's swimming mechanic. There are other frustrating changes like Twinmold being near invincible when it shouldn't (iirc).

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Nintendo_64_emulatorsIIRC the N64 emulators aren't the easiest to use. If you want a graphical interface, looks like m64p is your best bet. Reddit is cancerous but I'm sure if you searched for OoT emulation on Reddit you'd find some setups that work. You can also probably find a place to download the game itself if you don't have a copy on your computer. Also, avoid any website that claims to let you play the game directly in your browser. Have fun!

>>231838Minish Cap and Wind Waker, they are both so pretty and fun to play. I also loved Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. But honestly I couldn't even rank them. I love Zelda because I love puzzles. Breath of The Wild has puzzles but they are everywhere and too easy which makes them boring and annoying. The dungeons like the world felt giant but empty. When I finished the first dungeons I couldn't believe I just finished 1/ 4 of the game. I won't even speak about the final boss since he becomes ridiculously easy by finishing the dungeons. Just why?! The story and the lore were so bare too. Everything that could have been interesting happens in the cinematics. It felt like they finished the map and had Link running around and someone at nintendo decided it was good enough for an open world game. I was extremely confused when I saw the reviews and I really hope they try harder with the next one.

Anynonny play Cleo: A Pirate's Tale? It's this cute pixel adventure mystery that just came out, I loved playing it but have mixed feelings about it after I finished the game. It's entertaining and has great story beats but I disliked how our player character, a fourteen year old girl, gets blackout drunk on no fewer than three occasions during the latter half of the game. There's also the story's end where she goes back to work at her dad's bar and doesn't tell anyone about her adventure. Instead, she "learned to listen" and tells stories of all the moids who shaped her journey so that they can remain conscious in the afterlife. That one left a bad taste in my mouth and was enough to make me think this one of the few games that would have been better with a moid protagonist instead of a girl. But I still recommend the game if you want to kill an afternoon with some silly and obtuse puzzles and don't mind the unfortunate implications.

I want to buy my bf a Nintendo Switch (Lite) for Christmas. He is an extremely talented gamer. Which new-ish (last 5-10 years) Pokemon game on the Switch is the most difficult? He's playing Pokemon Reborn right now and enjoying it, if that helps at all.
No. 233407
>>233251Oh
nonny. This has got to be a troll post ("extremely talented gamer"? Wtf).
But just in case you're serious, Pokemon Reborn is a fangame made on RPG Maker, and for PC. There are no "difficult" Pokemon games on the Switch, there hasn't been one in ages.
Especially compared to fangames that are specifically created to be challenging. Maybe you could wait until the new game Scarlet/Violet comes out and buy it for him just so he can see for himself how shit it is. But if he's one of those super loyal Pokemon fans and not fed up with the quality of recent games (doesn't sound like it tho), he's going to love it.
I'd recommend getting him a game from a different franchise, one that's actually challenging. But be careful not to buy him a commonly recommended game that's actually a port of a game he has already played on another platform, like Dark Souls or Cuphead. Maybe some difficult Japanese RPG since your boyfriend seems to like JRPGs that are hard to progress through.

>>233407Thank you for the advice nonna! I should have just left the part about my bf/his skill level out completely as to not
trigger everyone kek. How the fuck else do you convey skill level. Anyways I will probably just let him choose a game after I give him the Switch bc I can't find a straight answer and so many Pokemon games seem to differ. I don't wanna waste money on a game he may not be into. He hasn't played a Pokemon game since Gameboy (besides Reborn) and some of the newer ones are apparently still kinda for kids. I don't see how it being a PC game factors into this but thank you for your consideration nonnington.

Finished Jade Empire, I think it's the first time I ever played a RPG where you don't have equipment. Also one of the shortest, and certainly the most dynamic Bioware RPG (you can do rolls, jump behind the target and 1 click = 1 hit). Very original overall, 25 different fighting styles, fun side quests, fun companions (one never fights and just throws alcohol at you to make you drunk box), and there's even a top down shooter plane minigame between levels
Not a big fan however of the dog shit character customization (you have 6 models to choose from, you can't change clothes, that's it) and of the very unfortunate wardrobe choices for female characters that make you flash your panties whenever you roll

Anyone play the Splatoon 3 demo? What team did you pick? What did you think of the new weapons, specials, and the new tricolor battle?
I played on Team Rock and alternated between the Aerospray and N-Zap. The new Reefslider special is fun and the Tacticooler is neat but a bit OP, especially if your other teammates have the same special. If you time it properly, you can stagger them and have instant respawn constantly. Initially, I didn't like the tricolor battle but the more I played it, the more I started to like it. I still prefer the regular mode over it though. I imagine that it's pretty annoying to be the defending team. I've seen so many Team Scissor players complain about it lol

>>234853From the way it was explained in my language on the Nintendo website I thought you couldn't add funds either way starting from today but if you had codes to download specific DLCs or games you could still add them and download them. Maybe it's a mistranslation. By the way, I bought Pokemon Blue and Gold on the 3DS because my GBC is all fucked up thanks to my youngest sister fucking it up when she was still young, and I think the internal battery of my Crystal cartridge needs to be replaced because it can't save progress anymore. Would that be stupid if I also bought Yellow and Crystal? I had all the versions for gen 1 and 2 at the time because they were dirt cheap if bought second hand when I was a kid so if I can still add funds I still have time to do it. What do you think? I got Gold because my baby daughter, pic related, isn't in Crystal.

>>231084I did the same thing but I took an even longer break than you did (I dropped D2 before Witch Queen launched by a few weeks) the monetization of the game and the time repetitive nature of the game drove me away.
I used the free week to my advantage and absolutely fell in love with the game again, I wish I snagged a copy from my friend earlier but I was on the fence about about it. The Witch Queen campaign was so good and FINALLY bungie made the game difficult without the use of champions! Last time they did that was when you could replay some red war campaign quests. It goes without saying that the story was also so satisfying I hope the Witness doesn't become the new "it was Savathun all along" or another redemption arc, I'm aware that the witness have existed in destiny's concept art since the beginning.
I wonder what they're going to do after Lightfall, hard to imagine this game going on without the big bad hive gods/goddesses and the witness.

What the hell I was expecting it to be the worst RPG ever but it was good! I mean it would have been great without EA fucking around and making Bioware do a game in 1 year when they did the previous one in 7 years, but the gameplay was much better than in DA:O and when it got released it probably had the best companion interactions in a WRPG
Also I believe there's some material that came from Neverwinter Nights expansions: Varric is a male version of Dorna Trapspringer from Shadows of Undrentide, Aveline looks like Aribeth and the parts where your companions can betray you feel the same as the ending of Hordes of the Underdark (both written by David Gaider)

Have you ever judged a book(in this case game) for its cover and then regreted it?

I recently got my hands on A:MR through the EA game pass and I finally feel like a fucking gamer KEK I've been a major fan of the game series for a long time, having played the original game very early on in my life and then having the game files saved on my PC, so when I needed an icon for something, I'd just go into the game folder and grab whichever picture of item/thing fit. I've also started from the beginning with the Fleshmaiden (picrel) skin because it's my all-time most favorite outfit in any video game I've ever seen, like, fucking look at it! It's AWESOME! It's CRAZY! It's a girl having a GOOD time with her EYE on a chest!
The only thing that weirds me out is knowing that the creator of these games is a male. And the games are about a mentally ill, constantly suffering, young woman (iirc she's 18 in A:MR) and the pain she's being subjected to, yet she never fully escapes it. It all feels like glamorized suffering of a quirky, witty dream goth girl who someone would love to fix. Thank God most of the fanbase I've encountered is women who relate to her, but I've also seen 3D model edits and fan art of Alice clearly made for nonces…

>>239229There are a shit ton of artists who could draw for FE games if we're just talking about skills, but the devs only hire freelance artists for that. So there are several issues such as whether the artists even want to draw for this kind of big projects with dozens and dozens of characters to designs, portraits to draw, complicated armors, etc., whether they would have enough time for that compared to their other projects/contracts, how much the devs are willing to pay for their skills and work, and on the other side, the devs will probably want to hire someone who already has an established fanbase to advertise the new game to. Which is the case for the new character designer who is an ok illustrator, a piss poor character designer, and somewhat enough of a newbie to not be too expensive compared to Chinatsu Kurahana for example, and that artist has a shit ton of followers on twitter.
As I said, Kozaki is very busy for projects he can't even talk about, and Kurahana was suspected of working on a BL game that's not released yet under a pen name, and was replaced by someone else for the in-game art specifically after catching covid but besides that we don't really kno, what she's up to. There are some very good artists who are regularly doing art for FE Heroes for pre existing characters but we don't know if they could potentially all be good for designing new characters with complicated armors and medieval/renaissance like clothes. And given who made the art for the OOC donut steel for book 2 and 4 in FE Heroes it's not the first time they hire retarded designers anyway.

>>239630Well technically buying a game really is buying a license to use the software privately, which you still very much can do, except that the official servers you were able reach by using the software won't be able to be reached (private servers would still be an option)
Now refunding games when official servers shut down is absolutely not in the economic interest of game developers, since that would mean refunding would have to happen every time servers are shut down for a multiplayer game. For instance, it'd mean that Gearbox would have to refund the price of Battleborn to every player who bought it, which could completely bankrupt a developer as shutting down servers usually happens when a game isn't commercially successful. Multiplayer games being generally a risky venture, if this kind of mass refund was possible only the biggest game studios would ever dare create multiplayer games, or they would never do official servers. Those two options are neither convenient for the developers nor the players, which is why no refund is the current way to deal with the situation
Furthermore in the OW1 case, skins are transferred for free to OW2 and there's no additional charge for OW1 players to play OW2 (it's f2p), so players can't argue that they were robbed of them. Gameplay changes aren't enough for a refund. And if you still decided to sue Activision, well, you'd be suing a multibillion dollars company for… not being able to play OW1 while being fully able to play OW2? That's not going to get enough traction to create a serious class action lawsuit, and since Activision is based in California no judge is going to be foolish enough to pronounce a sentence that could stir shit in the silicon valley

>>239661I'd say start with the remake of Resident Evil 1. It gives you plenty of Ammo and healing items on the easier difficulties, it's less action focused than the later games, and it has fantastic atmosphere. It has fixed camera angles but you'll soon get used to it.
If you do try it, you might want to play as Jill instead of Chris because she has more inventory space(which is very precious in this game).

(Was looking for a keygen for cyanotype daydream just in case it was coomer shit but it doesn’t seem likely)
it’s extremely pretty and concept is interesting and the only people I’ve seen dislike it is because it censored the unnecessary nudity and moved the character ages up so they’re no longer high schoolers.

Anynonny pick up Potion Permit? It came out on general release yesterday and so far I love this game. Legitimately cannot think of the last time I played a new game for a day and barely have any complaints. I adore how the townsfolk start off even more distrustful and icy compared to other farming sim games. There's no marriage option in the game, but you can romance some of the townsfolk. If pirate lady doesn't steal my heart first, I'm taking the town witch doctor who supremely hates the chemist.

Hey nonas I'm looking for a new Switch game and wondering if anyone can help me out with recommendations. I'm a huge fan of open world games, my favorites being BOTW and Witcher 3. I'm really looking forward to Red Dead Redemption and Tales of Symphonia being re-released on Switch later this year, but until then I'm looking for something else to fill my time. Any recs?

stupid question can you buy and play a game not in your "preferred steam language" I don't care I won't be able to read it without translation, I just want it to run on my computer
The game in question is Stardom 2, which is in chinese. It looks to be like a princess maker styled game about become a rising star alongside having some otome/dating sim gameplay #I found it in the otome category#. I think the artstyle looks so cute and nostalgic which makes sense since it's an older game. My plan is to have my phone/tablet with google translate up since it shouldn't have fast text. I've attached images of the translation, it's not perfect but it's tolerable
>ignore all the UI on the translation side it just looks like that because I hit take a picture due to wanting the photo to be steady enough
I won't be purchasing it now since I have a lot of other games in my library that I haven't played yet, but maybe someday I'll buy it

Watched Jerma play it and immediately loved it as much as PM2 probably even more.

Deserved. They even managed to fuck up Viktor from what I've seen in the first trailer, an already established character.
>I know for sure kaneko did no art or writing specifically for 4He participated in the writing but didn't design anything new. But even then it was indirect. I think it's info from a guidebook or artbook that was recently translated. In that interview it was also explained that the story was going to be way longer and an entire chapter would have been some sort of "flashback" where you play as the previous incarnation of Flynn, with Kiyoharu, Akira and Kenji being very important. They reused a bunch of backstory in SMT4A instead. I don't remember the source but I'll look for it once I'm done with work.

>>243372>>243433The main issue with most King's Quest games is that they're nearly impossible to get through without hints or a guide. They have "Dead End" puzzles, where you'll be unable to continue because you didn't pick up an item you needed earlier in the game, forcing you to reload an earlier save.
If you want one that's more modern in design, I would recommend King's quest 6. It's considered the best in the series and it's much more forgiving than the other ones. There's also fan remakes of 1-3, but I'm not sure if those count as true King's Quest games.

>>244763I liked Pokemon XY and Sun/Moon, but I don't recommend USUM if you already have SM or plan on getting SM soon.

There are some spinoffs as well like Persona Q, Devil Survivor 1 and 2, Soul Hackers, etc. FE Awakening and Fates are good games, but I hated FE Echoes and still feel scammed despite buying it for just 20€ and selling it later. At the very least for Fates, get the base game version Conquest and Birthright. Revelation is the third route, it's not the best version and feels like a better ending at first but the writing is half assed. However you'll get all the playable characters in one route so that's cool, especially for multiplayer shit. There are some Zelda games including N64 remakes but I haven't played them yet, same for Bravely Default.

Second time around they gave less of a fuck and went android Connor route, leading to Hank's suicide, which was tragic…I finally played on my own this past year and got the good ending. I teared up at the end
when Connor and Hank hug. I honestly hate when people ship them. What they have is a pure, father son bond in my eyes, especially after you learn about Hank's backstory. I try to push what Tumblr Aiden's have done to the game out of my mind and just focus on that kek.

>>247753>She probably overestimated her importanceI wouldn't be surprised, she's a minor part of the game's development and from what I get American voice actors think they should be paid more for reprising roles each time? Like David Hayter being replaced in MGS5 because he asked for more money than a literal Hollywood actor. I won't lose sleep from Bayonetta having a new voice actress but I wish she stayed just for the sake of consistency. Yusuke Hashimoto leaving Platinum Games is way bigger news since he produced the first game, directed the second one (which is less good btw but that's another topic) and he designed the demons and angels from both games, and when that was announced people were way less outraged or curious about it.

Recording lines for a few days for Bayonetta 1, then for a few days for the second game, then maybe for an afternoon for Smash, and… that's it. For a niche video game series that was barely saved by Nintendo's funding the second game. So notoriety isn't a criteria here at all. I can't find the video but she did state that recording her lines for one of the game took 4 days. Or 4 afternoons. I'd get the equivalent of 4000$ in my first world country by working in my currently qualified job for 3 months full time, so I don't think I can bring myself to feel totally sorry about the low offer. It's business as usual, she's not an employee and she could have tried to negotiate and see if they could offer a bit more than that if necessary. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was an excuse to indirectly kick her out of the project, in that case that's scummy, especially because there are more Bayonettas talking to each other in cutscenes in that new game. but I've dealt with so much worse than that in my own career that I can't bring myself to be outraged, she won't sleep under a bridge for this, she'll live.
>As far as we know Yusuke Hashimoto left on his own accordWe don't know at all. He's a Japanese guy in a Japanese company so don't expect to ever know. But I brought him up because he's responsible for a lot of the visual choices and most of the enemies in the games which is way more important than voice acting in a short game that has a few cutscenes as a pretext to make you fight enemies. The change is already VERY obvious in the very first trailer of the game, meanwhile I didn't notice the VA changed until someone told me.

Platinum wanted to be cheap or Kamiya is a two faced snake who lied to her face about liking her, it's obvious.

>>247885Maybe it's something like the account is banned but if he appeals it he can get it back, like what happened to Azealia Banks' account when Elon Musk said he'll buy twitter, she got her account back without even asking for it. Once Hideki Kamiya replied to Japanese fans who misspelled Platinum Games in katakana with "it's spelled Platinum Games" in Japanese and he did it so often so fast that he was also suspected of being a bot just like what happened yesterday when he blocked a shit ton of people. But he wasn't straight up suspended.
>>247888I don't disagree with you because I also mentoned it earlier but
>a singular character in 2She voiced both Bayonetta and Rosa in the second game and gave Rosa a deeper voice, but Rosa obviously has less lines than Bayo. I'm expecting each of the alternate Bayos to have just a few lines and for the main one to have way more screen time in a similar way.
>Platinum wanted to be cheap or Kamiya is a two faced snake who lied to her face about liking her, it's obvious.We'll never know because that's internal info but I wish we did. I don't remember Kamiya's role in the development of the game, he's not the director or the producer this time but I think he still has an important role. It also depends on who takes care of budgeting everything, and Nintendo funds the game so for all we know they're maybe partly responsible for this too.

I loved Heavy Rain, the only Quantic Dream game which I was obsessed about before until they released Detroit. I husbandofagged about Connor for a few years because characters like him are my type… I would recommend this game, I enjoyed its storyline alot and the fact how you can affect everyones stories differently. I am not sure if I can rememvee that much about it now, but as a fellow Heavy Rain enjoying it was a great ride. I recall I couldn't play Beyond Two Souls because it was lame (Ellen Page game).

>>248608Bayonetta 1 can boil down to being a game about female revenge. It's the story of a woman finding out who she is and deciding to kill her father because he led the genocide of her clan and betrayed her mother. All through the game she can put her enemies (who were all males in the past, even the female-looking ones, because they are born from the souls of dead priests) through the same tortures witches were put through history. The story and symbols are also laced with esoteric meanings. For example, her first outfit is full of symbols tied to the moon and womanhood.
It's still a game laced with fanservice because it always shows how sexy and provocative she is, and it has some uncomfortable and sometimes tasteless sexual humor (Joy torture, losing to Rodin).
The sequel softens this revenge angle by making her father a tragic hero who gets possessed by the androgynous god of chaos. It's honestly a worse game but still an enjoyable story and I am glad her dad was actually not an asshole.

The characters should look like in the cutscenes in original SH2, not whatever the fuck bloober made us look at. This is as wrong as the new voiceovers in the HD collection.
BTW, I hated the voice acting too.
Like the monologue from before the Double Pyramid Head boss fight. So bland and emotionless! The original voices were great because they sounded like everyone was sleepwalking, which is exactly what was happening. Also there is no SH2 without Angela's iconic "LoOoOoOost?" line.

Anons, which should I do: buy a new videocard for my PC, buy a Switch or buy a PS4?
I don't play games as often as I used to but would love to be able to play new games every now and then, new titles as well as old favorites and don't know which to pick. I love the Fatal Frame series, the older Final Fantasy titles, the Silent Hills and action RPGs like Bioshock, Dishonored and the Elder Scroll games. Also played Cyberpunk. Don't really care much for farming simulators or games that have an overly anime style to them (although also interested in the Shin Megami Tensei games). Would be verry eager to play Bloodborne. I also enjoy chill point and click adventure games like Syberia and looking forward to the new Wolf Among Us. Not sure which option would be best for me - upgrading the PC would be the most convenient, I guess, because that's how I played stuff mostly. If something I was interested in came out on console, I emulated it (this was on a gaming laptop that I recently sold). Bloodborne I'd be able to play through a streaming service with a subscription I think? The PS4 I'm considering because the last console I owned was a PS2 and most of the games I like and liked came out on the PS. The Switch I recently tried in a game bar with my bf and had a lot of fun playing Super Smash Bros and also like the portability aspect of it. I'm a Eurofag so the three would be around the same price, the videocard I'm eyeing is an RTX 3060

Switch library is actually pretty limited and maybe it's just me, but imho the majority of Switch games that are "worth it" are best played on big screen, so the mobile aspect of it is completely lost.
A lot of people sell used PS4 given PS5 is out for a while now so that actually would be the best option for you money wise, if that's something that matters to you.

>>248919this is a sad fact of modern video game voice acting; it's too good. back in the era of sh2 it was rare for any game company to have a recording studio, so voice actors would be selected and then just mailed their scripts. its part of the reason conversations often sound so stilted and unnatural in games of this time. it would be cool if they tried to emulate that again but idiots would complain about the "bad voice acting" since that shit is so prestigious now.

so I havent got all the endings but the first ending I got was the one where he says to Maria when shes coughing "we need to take care of that cough" in a kinda sinister, threatening way.
Anyway had a discussion with a friend about Leon and James and said I preferred Leon because hes not a creepy murderer like James and friend was like "but you dont understand he needed to end his wifes suffering hes actually a good guy and really remorseful" and I was like "nah" and mentioned the ending I got and he said that I misheard/was putting my own interpretation on it and I was like no, it was meant to come across like that. One thing I remember (it was a long time since I played this game) was that while not all the voice actors were great I thought James was very good.There was more to the convo but that was the main point. Also TY nonna nice to find someone interested in talking about this, I like silent hill 2 as an experience, gameplay wise I personally dont think its that great so im glad the characters are interesting even if I overall dont like them.

>>248815Reading Umineko and participating in the explosing speculation threads that appeared everywhere after every part was one of the most enjoyable media related things I have ever experienced so I am in for this.
>>249315Taste plays a role so be aware of that but Umineko in particular had one of the best OSTs of any anime/game IMO which made the already creepy atmosphere even better. The lack of pics helped too, a lot of the game is just edited dark photos of that old mansion with some silent hill tier BGM which made it work as horror imo. And when the red text part starts it's just a joy. Imagine reading arguments for hours but being excited regardless. The endless little hints it gave us made the guessing game enjoyable and everytime you have a theory a new hint is given that brings a twist that gives all of what you know a whole new meaning.
It's hard to explain. It it's unadaptable too. Half of the VN are just hours long debates about whodunnit and the possible existence of magic and the other half is looming horror without much happening and almost nothing you actually see (and if you see a thing it's usually not even what actually happens, the unreliable narrator is strong in this one). An anime adaption would just be 5 episodes of talking or someone walking through dark rooms and pondering their existence.

Umineko is in fact a VN about murder mysteries and how to solve them, so every time you read a murder novel afterwards you will think about Umineko
Mind however that the original versions of both VN were very ugly, and that Umineko loses some of its charm if you don't try to solve the mysteries (you're supposed to take notes, and some of the mysteries aren't explained at all). I myself was a bit disappointed by Umineko because my friends told me it was the BEST thing EVER WRITTEN, and I understood later that a lot of their enthusiasm came from the fact that they simply hadn't read much enjoyable books before, so I found it good and a bit too long but not perfect

>>249601No, I am saying that taking care of the people you love who are very, very ill can be a vexing and tiring experience, and I'm both saying this from firsthand experience and from knowing people who dealt with similar situations. I never killed anyone and I always treated the people I took care of with respect and love, but it was not pleasant at all.
James is a bad person but also he is a videogame character. He is not real, so I'm not going to treat him like a real person or see him as such.
He is a cautionary tale of mental illness, stress and depression. The game makes it clear that what he did was wrong but the game also, at least from my interpretation, it shows that those who commit the worst sins must learn to forgive themselves and not wallow in their own self-pity and despair.
OBVIOUSLY you don't need to kill someone to find a message you relate to in James' story, Angela's story, Eddie's story, etc, and to find their characters sympathetic.

>>249674Well, yeah, I'm not saying James did a good thing or that he is a inherently good boy widdle lost soul… if he were just that he would not be in Silent Hill.
I'm saying that there are aspects in his flaws that people outside of annoying men might find relatable or sad in a way that hits close to home: it could be the situation he got in, it could be his guilt, it could just be that being a caretaker sucks, what have you.
You don't need to be exactly like him or be a bad person to like him or find him relatable: he's a fictional character and he especially was made to be up to interpretation.
I don't forgive James for killing his bedridden, intensely ill wife, but I still found his character relatable and interesting for various reasons: his caretaking situation hit close to home, but also his depression, his guilt, his willingness to fight his stagnating mind and escape from the demonic influence of Silent Hill were all interesting facets of him, and in general it was refreshing to see a game that treats mental illness without demonizing it or turning it into thriller schlock.
He is meant to be flawed, that's the point, that's why he is in Silent Hill. That does not stop people from feeling sympathetic. It helps that he is a
character and not a real person.
For example, I found Angela the best and most relatable character in the game. That doesn't mean I will trust women like Angela or that I have killed my father or that I have been raped. We engage with fiction through its hyperbole and its suspense of disbelief, and not all of us are going to see fictional characters exactly like we would if they were real people.

>>249686>you dont need to be a murderer to go to silent hill either thoYou know what I mean tho, the reason why he is there is because the town wants to trap him like it did with Angela and Eddie, and the reason why it can do that to him is because he killed his wife.

I've been playing it since it first release on PS2 in 2006 (I was nine years old!!) – I played it for months straight in 2009, then played it again from scratch (and completed it) in 2019 during my brief NEET phase. Now I'm starting it again, and I totally forgot how the Zodiac Job System works, despite playing that version last time – so I get to re-discover the Zodiac Job System!

No. 250681
>>250673>Do I need to play them in order?Yes, the first three are a trilogy and you can't skip any of those. I forgot to what extent AA4 is connected to the OG trilogy and if you can play it separately or not, but I'd recommend playing it after the first three.
Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice were made without the involvement of the original creator of the franchise (he later made DGS/Ace Attorney Chronicles) so they're considered lower quality in terms of writing by some fans and personally, I hate the direction those games took and haven't even played SoJ, but you might enjoy them too. Anyway, they are considered part of their own trilogy together with AA4, plus you should play the OG trilogy before playing DD and SoJ, so, to answer your question, yes.
>Also are there other games like this?There were two spin-off games about Miles Edgeworth called Ace Attorney Investigations. The first one was officially localized, while the second was never released outside Japan and got a fan translation. These games focus less on the trials and more on the "investigation"/detective part of cases.
Shu Takumi (the creator) also made a completely unrelated puzzle/mystery game called Ghost Trick. You might like that one as well.
I haven't played other game franchises with similar themes and gameplay as AA, but I see people usually recommend the Zero Escape series, Hotel Dusk, Aviary Attorney, and Professor Layton.

>>250706NTA but I finally played the layton/ace attorney crossover last year and loved every bit of it, I think most critiques comes from people who have only played one of the series (AA fans said the story was too farfetched, which is the vein of Layton games, while Layton fans thought the court sections were too long and investigating was on a second plane). Layton took a bit of protagonism, specially towards the end, but in general I thought it was pretty balanced.
This game is pretty much the predecessor of DGS/TGAA and it was pretty fun to play it after finishing DGS and look onto their similarities. Apart from the writting and design (same guys as DGS), the court system is very similar to it too.

Anybody else here played Sailor Moon: Another Story for the SNES? This is the first time I'm emulating an old game like this my computer is very weak so I don't play much vidya in general and it took me a while to get used to it because not only do the enemies not have any health bar but the boss fight difficulty is weirdly irregular. The first boss in the second chapter was a DRAG to get through and made me fear for the next bosses but then the next bosses are way weaker. At the point I am it's easier because one of the potential party members (after you find her accessories) is ridiculously op it's sailor Saturn sailor Pluto also has a really op ability.

I think Symphonia is worth mentioning here because of Raine Sage, who is one of my favorite heroines in existence. (The main girls in the game, while I love them, do have some stereotypical flaws.) Tales of the Abyss also has solid female characters throughout, even though I didn't find any of them as incredible as Raine. And though this is more of an SRPG, the Fire Emblem Tellius games (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn) from that era have good female characters too.
Not an older game, very new, but after Xenoblade 1 and 2 could be iffy with its female characters (many armor choices in 1, the…entire deal with 2), Xenoblade 3 has really great heroines as well! And only one of them has a cleavage-revealing outfit! (Although the dub apparently made one of the characters a "they" for some reason, you wouldn't know it by playing the game, I only know because I decided to look up her character art once. This character is very obviously female.)

Ok so I'm done with the main content in Bayonetta 3. Spoilers ahead. I don't like playing as Viola, parrying is bullshit because you'll play most chapters as Bayonetta and use ZR to dodge and activate witch time, then you're given a few chapters with Viola and she activates witch time by parrying, which is done with R and not ZR. And her witch time sucks ass, it's way too short. Aside from that the game is fun and I need to unlock more stuff and find all the umbran tears. Jeanne's minigame was annoying as hell. Visiting Tokyo and Paris in the game was weird as fuck because they looked way too accurate, I could guess with shops irl where in which scenes sometimes.
As for the story it's fun for like 90% of the game, then it shits the bed in the last chapters. They butchered my boy Luka by turning him into a supernatural fairy creature thing despite the entire point of the character being that he's a normal human and can still keep up with what's going on. I'm guessing he's half fairy instead of half-demon because Capcom would have sued everyone and everything at Platinum Games otherwise, since Luka was always Dante as a human before that. Jeanne and Bayonetta die except they don't. But no they do. Because some of the damage caused by the villain are cancelled or some shit but it's super vague, unlike the end of Bayonetta 1 when she gets out of her casket and acts all sassy and shit. The final boss really reminded me of the one in Astral Chain that was cool. And I loved when Mysterious Destiny started playing. But anyway, the writers tried too hard to make the game look super serious and sad but it failed and the end looks melodramatic as fuck. Baal is the cutest demon idgaf what anyone else says.

I was so looking forward to playing P5R because many people with similar taste recommended it to me and I loved SMT5 so much, plus I was really excited about the life sim aspect. I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I'm disappointed with the writing of the story so far even though I'm early in. I'm finding the first storyline with the abusive PE teacher really creepy and hard to play and I'm just getting something like a scrote or unsettling vibe overall.

The first castle is hard to play thru, but the rest are just cartoon-level villains (at least the new arc they included in P5R was wonderful). Unfortunately you're right with the scrote vibes, these games bank on fanservice (it's specially bad on P4 and P5), you will get a not-so-nice surprise about how they treat Ann & Ryuji later on. I liked most of the social sim stories though.
I feel most of the people that praise it so much it's because P5 was their first contact with a more story-based game kek. Overall, it's a fun game and I don't regret playing it, but it also isn’t the best game of all time like people claim.

hear children screaming as they are being whipped while Morgana tells you that you can save in a safe room or whatever. It just feels really off to me and it doesn't seem well written or sensitively handled so far. I don't particularly mind fanservice either but same thing as above. It's possible I'm just

>>251532Shoulda capped at the time, cant find the thread now but apparently some time ago a fan asked her if bayo supports trans rights and hellena didnt answer saying its not her character so she cant speak on her behalf. But theres no actual evidence of this. Also yeah never met a terfs whos anti-abortion.
>>251545Um, no. If you are talking about the guy I think you are its because
he said of the apparent nudity, stripper scene at the end not because shes a "how adult woman", most people seem to like her design. I agree that its peoples own fault though for the conclusions they reached on the story.
>>251576Agree, but it sounds like it was an excuse to like a controversial thing. Like a lot of these people who wrote off the sexual stuff because "its FOR THE GAYS" are now writing hit pieces about how sexist this game is and how it panders to men when tbh that was always the main audience, shes very popular with typical gamer guys like pic attached.

Yoshi-p was interviewed on the upcoming FF game and one of these questions popped up. I don’t know why people ask devs who would never go for diversity for diversity instead of supporting devs who do - the whole thing seems awkward.

I agree that a big chunk of things feel extremely cringy, especially the 'lol randumXD' bad answers that you can choose, they all center around choosing your character to keep being a raging alcoholic and an extreme pervert, talking about sex crap or sexuality. It also makes me feel like as if the games political part is kind of trying to force you to think in their own way (not that i am a poltard) if that makes sense. But i am a sucker for detective cases and i enjoy the VA, plus i cannot refund the game anymore so I am staying with it. I feel like Ace Attorney will forever remain to be the best detective game in my heart.
I hate the picrelated kid. The way they wrote this characters dialogues make me extremely uncomfortable and nauseous. I really like Kim, but I can only hope we will see a decent female character other than 'a random rich woman in a boat'.

I bred and released 600 piggies (also foxes and monitors), collected 100? reward animals. Got lots I would've never been able to afford unless I make whole factory farm zoos for conservation credits. Which I'll probably have to do anyway if I ever want lions or other popular animals. Though this was for the 3 year anniversary challenge. My brain is too fried to sleep. I did also create the perfect piggie with perfect genetics. And nobody gives a shit about the zooS I make and animals I keep except me. The digital equivalent of a mandala.

I bought it since everybody else that shares my taste in manga/games is into it but I didn't play yet, afaik you can be whatever you want in the game, so the devs seem to be fair at least and in this case I honestly don't care much.

So, persona 5 royal is out on steam, but it's 60 dollars, which I'm not willing to shell out. Dunno if it'll go on sale ever, but I'm not too desperate. Also really want to buy the Rimworld DLCs because I love Rimworld, but each DLC is 20 dollars and they never have huge sales, so it's gonna be the 20 dollars. Since there are 3, the total cost of the DLCs would add up to 60 dollars, again, not willing to pay that. I might buy just one of the DLCs, but I really hate spending all that money, even 20 dollars. Not like I'm struggling, I just never feel right spending money on non-necessities. Mainly just gamer salt with me. Want something to play over winter break maybe.

I miss the times when new FF games could legit excite me like hell. I cannot even tell you what exactly most of the new ones were missing, just that nothing did it for me anymore. I wish they would do something like IX again though, maybe as lower priority project. I just think that IX was one of the best, certainly had the best OST and the landscapes and cities were exactly how I want fantasy games to look like. I also think that FF Tactics was awesome and wish they had made more handheld games like that.

Nintendo nonnas, is it better to buy a digital copy over physical? Which one do you prefer and why?
I am thinking of getting physical copies of otome games on Switch (if i would like some of their cover arts for example, but i think generally it's nice to have them physically), but i feel like the reward system screws up A LOT of physical copy buyers. Having a switch is already expensive enough, but a big chunk of my desired games are way too overpriced. Eg i plan on getting Splatoon 3 too but i am going to get a digital version most likely.
I tend to feel paranoid over owning a digital game lately as a lot of corpos pull weird shit with randomly deleting their games off store pages, etc. Feeling pretty puzzled, because i dont want to overspend on games.

>>254624Same for me. I resold a bunch of games before and it quickly adds up. And I sometimes lend my games to friends or to siblings.
>>254622I prefer physical copies, but Nintendo does interesting sales for their first-party games more often now than on the 3DS so downloading games isn't a bad idea either depending on what you want. Some games have so many patches and updates that physical copies aren't always complete games like on the 3DS either, and your saves will be in the consoles or sd card, not in your cartridge like before as well. If you're the type to travel a lot and you want to play on the go without risking losing cartridges it's good too. However I think physical copies are better to preserve games even after online stores are closed.

>>254847I love the game too and I would probably hate a remake/remaster even if they did it because it is hard to create perfection twice. I still want one just to see though. It could turn out good. Like
>>254850 said, the empty desert feels terrible but it could be remedied by modern graphics/hardware allowing more detailed landscapes and objects in general. I would love more world building and story with all of the factions.
Also, anyone else fucking HATE Ulysses? That was the shitiest dlc and most annoying self-inserted character ever. Best DLC for me is Old World Blues for plot and characters.

The Legion was unfinished, there's some mods that put the cut content back into the game that they didn't have time to finish, not to mention the JSawyer mod that he finished privately. There's a SHITTON of stuff that was supposed to be made for this game that didn't make it in because of the time constrictions. I don't really want the game to be re-done. I want the same iconic voices and no stupid re-writing, but I'd love to see the game with better graphics, running better and have all the cut content/missing content in the game.

>>254881I think the graphics are…fine? Like yeah, it's an old game and some mods will fix it, but because of the issues with bugs and the crashes, cramming mods into the game makes it more unstable too, sadly. I mostly want the game to run better.
As for the ragdolls… they do have their charm, but it'd be nice if this game wasn't tied to gamebryo and all the shit that comes with it. I always mod my game so things don't ragdoll and clip because it can cause crashes.
The wiki has some info on the cut content:
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_cut_contentAnd some info on the Legion's cut content:
https://www.vgr.com/fallout-new-vegas-cut-legion/>>254871Honestly, I don't know if I trust Obsidian either, since only JSawyer works there now. Gonzales, who is the main guy behind the writing and lore, has left, and Avellone is gone too. I want Bethesda to have NOTHING to do with the second west coast game or any remakes/remasters. Since Microsoft owns both Obsidian and Bethesda, we can at least get one, but I dunno… I feel like no remakes or modern sequels have been as good as their predecessors.

I have to say the second game (…arc? I haven't been able to play the localization yet) is a bit weaker than the first because due to the original game selling poorly, they had to squish the story of 2 games onto a single one (it was supposed to be a triology), but it still holds ok.

Are there any other nonas here into Hades? I didn't think I would enjoy a roguelike game but it's so addicting! I've escaped countless times yet there is still so much to do. Like learning how to play the lute.
My question to any veterans here is how do I re-unite the Olympic and the underworld gods? Do I max out the relationships with everyone with nectar or what?

>>256050It will take me a while to find it because the tumblr account where I saved these is gigantic, but I'm pretty sure I read a few years back an interview with Takumi where he said his original plan was to make a new trilogy, that's why the story is long. Not sure if Capcom agreed on that idea, but they weren't happy with DGS1's sales, so DGS2 was pretty much a "gift" to Takumi so he could end the story.
It also would explain how DGS1 is so slow-paced compared to DGS2 and why some stuff is not explained (also there are numerous complains in the artbooks about the lack of budget they were given for DGS2, and how because it and time, they weren't able to add some ideas they had planned)
(In the meanwhile, you can have an estimation of baby Iris' heigh I made years ago. If we think that's a small pet mouse of average size, that would make her around 56cm)

You know what's funny? In Xenoblade 2 the main female characters are treated like they're total sluts obsessed with the MC when they're actually fully developed characters who just happen to wear short clothes and whose arcs don't fully depend on the MC (which is especially obvious in the DLC), meanwhile Zeke, Mikhail and Malos literally exist in the same game.

Also my favorite weapon is the Abilene Kid BB gun, because it secretly has very high critical damage, which means it's one of the best sneak attack weapon in the game (and can be acquired as soon as you reach New Vegas). I use it to sneak kill patrols and caravans in the desert, since it doesn't make you lose reputation or karma if it's done discretely

I'm playing Persona5 for the first time (not Royal) and I can't decide which girl Joker should date. As a lover of romance, which route gives the best romantic content? I've been looking up who's the best and all I can find are creepy scrotes on gamefaqs being weird about Futaba and the teacher. I did the Hawaii date with Hifumi which I thought was super sweet, but I'm a bit sad she's not in my party. So yeah, which option who's not an adult or a literal middle schooler is more romantic and has good chemistry with Joker?
I just started Haru's father's dungeon for reference.

>>257119im a big persona fag and i honestly never hated the romance routes more than p5.
out of the party members, futaba can be endearing at times but sometimes its weird yeah.

ann's route becomes so nlog and annoying to me kek, but when theres actually romantic parts the chemistry is good i think.
i thought the best girl was hifumi by far, but unfortunately it seems like both the game and the fans kinda forget about her the most
No. 257187
>>257119I don't think any of the routes in Persona 5 are particularly romantic, especially in vanilla P5. I usually end up doing either harem because why not, or choosing Haru or Hifumi because they're pretty and I like them as characters (sorry, not very deep at all).
You might like Royal more for the addition of Kasumi –
or even Akechi's new confidant scenes, if you're a BL fag like me.

I'm looking to play a mobile rhythm game like Ensemble Stars!! available on iOS. I don't care about the story, the graphics, or even the language as long as the game itself meets the following criteria.
>Doesn't punish me for being good
LLSIF, for example, starts you off with 20LP, and it costs your entire energy bar to play one song on expert difficulty. This makes the early game extremely slow and boring, as it takes forever to grind to a point where I get to play two songs in a row.
>Meanwhile in Enstars
Each song costs exactly 1BP no matter the difficulty. I'm guaranteed 10 songs/~30 minutes of gameplay no matter my skill level. I'd love it if there were no "energy costs" at all like in console games, but these are mobile titles designed around microtransactions, so that's probably asking too much.
>Doesn't punish me for being bad
LLSIF, Bandori, Puroseka and many other rhythm games have mid-song fail states, so if I perform poorly I get kicked out of the song AND lose whatever LP I spent to start it. I hate this because it makes it near impossible to challenge myself with a higher difficulty. How am I supposed to learn if they won't let me try?
>Meanwhile in Enstars
They let you play the entire song before telling you that you failed. Even if I fail miserably, I still have a chance to maybe get the hang of it and, more importantly, enjoy the song.
>Has a fair amount of content and/or is fairly difficult
I loved Dankira! Boys Be Dancing for a lot of reasons, but in the end I dropped it because it was way too easy. It had only 4 lanes, a small song selection, and– worst of all– no expert level.
>Meanwhile in Enstars
It has dozens of songs of varying difficulties, and if necessary I can adjust the speed of the notes for an extra challenge. It helps that they're always running events and adding new songs, but as long as a game has 3-4 songs I really like, new content doesn't really matter to me.
>Uses lanes like LLSIF, Utapri, and (ofc) Enstars
This is the pickiest thing and therefore the flimsiest criteria, but I like games that have 5-7 lanes and circular notes. There were other reasons I couldn't get into DEEMO or CYTUS, but one of the main obstacles was just disliking how they play. Games with vertical, rectangular lanes like Bandori and Puroseka are kinda OK I guess. Whatever they were doing in the Hypnosis Mic game was too whacked out for me. Also I prefer to play two-handed in "landscape mode", so "portrait mode" games like Show By Rock, Tap Tap Revenge, or Piano Tiles don't do it for me.
Sorry for writing so much. Does anybody know of a game that I might enjoy? I haven't tried Idolmaster or the new Love Live games, so maybe those? Also I'm unfortunately very out of the loop when it comes to joseimuke so if there are any still-active rhythm games (RIP Utapri and SideM) with cute boys I'll try those too.

I love everything about the Harvestella demo except the speed of the days (incredibly fast). Is this less of an issue in the main game since it isn't timed (you get 15 days for the demo)? I feel like I'm being chased the whole time playing this game and it's really stressful but everything else about it is so good. Do you just get used to it? It feels like I can't wander, explore, or talk to townspeople at all, I'm just racing from one task to the other as quickly as possible and even taking a wrong turn or something is stressful.

I was a huge fan of Xenosaga and especially Xenogears but somehow the Xenoblade games aren't doing it for me. I even tested the one without all the fanservice stuff (think it's the very first one) but it was sooooo boring and all landscapes and maps were just grass, some generic rocks and even more grass. It didn't even feel like a sci-fi just like an uninspired fantasy. I dropped the game when that awful mascot joined, it was annoying and the design was again painfully uninspired, it was basically just a blobb with eyes.
I don't know why people are so hyped about the games. Maybe I should give the other ones a try? Everybody recommends them to me since I liked the other Xeno series but I am not sure anymore, maybe the latter games are more sci-fi since they are sequels iirc. I just want another game like Saga or Gears again tbh.
No. 258826
>>258742Same. I genuinely considered Corpse Party scarier and more atmospheric than any super detailed horror I played the last decade.
I think being too realistic and detailed weakens the aspect of horror that is all about the presence of the unknown, the things you cannot see and as you said the claustrophobia.
3D horror just feel like typical action games or shooters to me for the most part. And having a monster being all detailed and rendered makes them just another corporeal being like you and me. Maybe a human with fucked up face, well still that isn't really creepy imo.
It's probably also about how the art is leading your eye. In your pic the game forces you to see all the blood, the torture devices and the general vibe of that room. If this was 3D you only see a little part of the room depending on where you are looking at. You see one pool of blood maybe, turn and see another one, depending on how much you move around you might even miss half of the stuff because you only see a part of it and since it's a realistic game the light will be dimmed as shit, there will probably be filters on top of it too until you can barely recognise shit.

>>258928Generally the rule for civ games is that the basegame is unplayable, boring and you really do need at least one expansion pack for it to be fixed. I was a staunch civ 5 advocate, but with all the DLC's, civ 6 is alright and has grown on me. Rise and Fall introduces governors, which is a nice gameplay element. It also added loyalty, but the leader making use of it the most Eleanor, is introduced in a different DLC. Gathering storm introduces climate change, volcanoes, power and consumable resources and diplomatic victory. Both of course introduce many new leaders and countries. If you can get them for a steep discount, it's definitely worth it.

A friend of mine recommended Enderal, it's free and a Skyrim total conversion mod with an apparently neat story but this motherfucker made me quit.
He's the first companion you meet in game and is obviously their attempt at doing a handsome lovable rogue type but holy shit he's written by the most reddit redditor that ever reddited. Bitches about religion in his first personal quest in something straight out of r/atheism, constantly calls every female character including your own 'my lady', every other character talks about how much sex he's having and the final deal killer for me was going into the underground city for poor people and hearing a conversation between prostitutes about how he's such a good lay. And this is the guy the devs think is husbando material. Him and a couple other cringe writing moments ruined the game for me.

Spoilers for Persona 5 I guess: The more I think about Persona 4 the more I like the writing. I don't know if it was ahead of its time or if I resonate more with it now as an adult who has seen more crazy shit on a daily basis than before. Shit like Naoto being treated like garbage for being a girl at her job and losing confidence hits home way more now that the tranny movement is so vocal. Same deal with Kanji now that gender stereotypes are now more popular and believed than ever. And I think I understand Adachi way more as well now. Not in a "I can relate to him" but more that he makes some good points that absolutely DO NOT apply to him because he's acting like a whiny little bitch about everything. Sure, some people don't succeed in life because they're unlucky and lack opportunities for reasons out of their control but this guy ruins his own life all by himself. He's a realistic depiction of an incel in a way I haven't see anywhere else because they always get parodied nowadays:
>works hard at school, gets a prestigious job as a detective in Tokyo as a result while still young, gets demoted his job for undisclosed reason but most likely because he's a raging stupid creep
>"REEEE why did I get demoted to a shithole I deserve better I had good grade in high school reeeee"
>is kind of cute in a dorky way, looks like Matsuda in Death Note, far from being as ugly as the canon ugly NPCs in P4 but can't get laid because he's a mentally ill misogynist
>"REEEEE WOMEN ONLY WANT TO FUCK CHADS what about meeeee"
>abuses his power as a police officer to barge into a woman's room in a hotel without her permission, tries to rape her and accidentally kills her because she doesn't want to fuck a guy she literally never heard about 5 seconds after meeting him
>"reeeeee she was a whore anyway, I'm not one btw I never did anything wrong"
>does the same shit to a teenage girl
>"she was a whore!!!1!!11 I bet [unrelated character that's never seen with the girl in any scene whatsoever] was her sugar daddy"
No but seriously he's so disgusting it goes back to being pathetic and hilarious. Literally just Japanese Patrick Bateman. And the whole "police officer who royally fucked up doesn't get fired but is quietly transferred somewhere else to avoid a huge scandal" shit is so realistic that it messes me up a little. I want to replay P4G again to beat his ass once more but from a new perspective. And even just in general, some of the things happening in that game seemed like slight exaggerations of real things going on in the news but it's actually way worse irl at times. Just like the whole thing with Kamoshida in P5 being lifted straight from the news.
tldr; Persona 4 is better than I thought the first time I played it and Adachi is a whore who deserves to get his dick cut off with rusty scissors.

Just some random thoughts about reboots: playing the Shadow of the Tomb Raider right now and it occurred to me that playing reboots always made me appreciate the original games much more. Somehow this player-centeredness in new games (Lost? Open your map! Don't know where to go and what to do? Just press X and we'll highlight the interacteable objects for you!) made me miss the old games where the creators shat on you and if you were lost, well you were lost. And if you fucked something up, you either load a save file or start from scratch. Those games were harder but there was a genuine sense of reward when you figured out something and a genuine sense of awe when you discovered a ruin or a tomb instead of an umpteenth cutscene showed down your throat. And also there's the ridiculous amount of immersion breaking cutscenes and animations that make you feel like you're watching a movie that has occasional gameplay in it.
And this might be controversial, but: I liked the old Lara more. I understand the need on the creators' part to humanize her and make her look more vulnerable but the psychopathic, bitchy Lara was simply more fun.

No. 260559
>>260541Trying to make them look like movies isn't as much as an attempt to make them treated as art, but to make them look like respectable mainstream hobbies for normal people, just like movies. Before the late 2000s video games were mainly marketed towards young males (which accounts for things like violence-based plots, male MCs and huge cleavages on female characters), probably because of the 60s' belief that "computer jobs" should be done by socially handicapped scrotes, after project managers realized programming could become a well payed empowering jobs (the main programmers of the first programmable computer, ENIAC, were all women); hence computer games targeting young males (adults don't play games). Now "young males" is the lowest, most braindead stratum of society, meaning you can also sell the same thing to adultish males but it's harder to sell them to the rest of society (young women don't like games where they're over-sexualized, older men don't like things that look stupid, older women don't like stupid games where younger women are over-sexualized), so the emphasis in the late 2000s (when they I guess realized women could use computers?) was to turn video games into something not overtly stupid yet familiar, which means movies, as everyone watches movies, so everyone could buy your game. It somehow got made easier by technology, as mocap and actual actors (eg Death Stranding) are now frequently used by games.
You could even make the assumption that, because of everything detailed above, the more cinematic a game becomes, the less scrotey it is, as it means the game designers are trying to expand their target market as wide as they can (the God of War series is a good example) (David Cage and japanese games do not count)
The very same thing has happened with comic books, which were trying very hard to go from dumb capeshit to something more respectable like proper books, hence the creation of the term "graphic novels"
No. 260565
>>260559>isn't as much as an attempt to make them treated as art, but to make them look like respectable mainstream hobbies for normal peopleBoth ideas go together imo. I already knew all the things you're talking about when it comes to marketing video games, and iirc video games weren't marketed the same way in Asia at the same time which is pretty interesting, but
>as mocap and actual actors (eg Death Stranding) are now frequently used by games. I'm not sure that's a good example given that Kojima is well known for being obsessed with Hollywood movies since forever, and apparently his Snatcher video game was already so heavily based on Blade Runner that some people would say it might as well be plagiarism. So in his specific case using Hollywood actors for mocap is just a logical next step instead of just some marketing shit. But otherwise yeah I also noticed all that shit whenever I payed attention to new Western releases, not because I want to buy these games because I don't have the consoles for that, but because it's more and more obvious. Like with Cyberpunk 2077 and Keanu Reeves being talked about as much as the crazy glitches on release.
>which were trying very hard to go from dumb capeshit to something more respectable like proper books, hence the creation of the term "graphic novels"It's obviously not working at all, normies care way more for comics adaptations in live action movies or series. The issue with capeshit comics on top of what you said is that they're hard to follow because they have like 10000 reboots and alternate universes and different writers with very different interpretations. As for more "normal" comics that are easy to follow I'm not sure so I won't say anything.

Levitating ruins, a snowy city at night with pink lights, cartoony sky cities, anything or all of that. Instead, I get super realistic grass.

>>260629Yeah I admit it's very taste related and the game isn't objectively bad. It's just that it was a spin-off, so the same setting bored me, I never liked X much to begin with, could never relate to any of the 10-2 characters and their dialogues and the whole story felt like some romance fanfic. Maybe it got better later, I never made it to the middle point I think.
I agree that FF turned to shit though. Even if I don't like 10-2 I can at least admit it's special and creative. So if you can get into the story and character this must be an awesome game to you.
The following games though? They feel uninspired, they don't even feel like FF anymore. And they try too hard to be cool and almost everybody has a k-pop face. I am diehard fan of FF 6, 7 and 9 and even I wasn't interested starting the 7 remake so far. The things I heard about it killed my hype and the fact that it's multiple parts doesn't help.
>>260632I just wanted to say the same same thing. Remember that when all Turians in ME were male they were asked why and they responded "how do you make a Turian female? Add lipstick?" because they are too retarded to come up with the idea of just changing them a bit. Not in a human way with tits and such, just get creative and vary their crests and such.
Adromeda did it somewhat right. But a few things annoy me. Like the different eyes (makes no sense for a species to have that), just to make them cheetah-like because women are always associated with cats. I think they also had boobs which makes no sense for a bird/reptile species either. The idea with the crests thou was nice.

It's like anime that show fanservice or moe girls in the trailer. You will most likely assume that the series will solely rely on this and call it a day and be underwhelming otherwise. Same with games that try to win me over with graphics. I will assume they have nothing else to go for otherwise they would try to sell the characters and story or setting to me but they never do that.
Speaking of it, what I also hate is how serious all super graphics game are. You can't have quirky characters and fun anymore. Everybody wants their game to be taken super seriously to compete with shitty edgy mavel movies.

Hell, even Nintendo is flubbing even though imo they're far more consistent. Animal Crossing NH is very shallow. Instead of making the social system + characters + AI more interesting, the townspeople are just decoration.
I do have a bit of hope in the occasional Indie dev doing something interesting, but it feels like mainstream developers are being crushed under the gravity of modern tech and stockholder expectations. Even shitty games back then were spicier. Now we get burnt wonderbread every month.

>>260646A special problem I have is how LONG it takes to explore every single map in modern games.
In 2D- or old 3D games you had the best ratio of story content, development, fights and exploration. Searching for treasures was FUN because you needed less than three hours for it. New city? Can explore it in like 15 minutes, 30 if it's really huge. Now it's just giant landscapes and maps everywhere and treasures and surprises are so rare and not worth the hassle (or random generated items) that you might as well skip all of it and just proceed with the story because the NPCs have nothing worth to tell anymore either.
But even without exploring you might need ages to get from point A to point B and the maps aren't pretty enough to make up for the boredom you feel while running, and running and running. The fact that it's also realistic looking makes it feel like your daily trip to work or the next supermarket.

>I feel like they might not including as to not offend "western sensibilities" kekYou're crazy, S supports in Awakening largely contributed to making the series way more popular in the West and they still included romance in 3H despite Treehouse trying to utterly ruin Fates with a shit translation and then 3H by trying to give shit ideas to the the devs before the game was completed.

>>260651Still amuses me that a character from Call of Duty turned into a horny meme chara somehow.
I don't play realistic shooters though.
And you can still have fantastical scenes with realistic graphics, like that other anon said it's all about the art direction.
I hope Starfield has some nice stuff.

>>261040Incredibly based nonna. I didn't want to sperg on about it as I've been ragged on in the past for just disliking Edelgard, but the stupid waifu angle they took with her was just the icing on the cake of her route's overally terribly executed politics. I hate seeing people elevate her as some kind of lesbian girlboss revolutionary when Crimson Flower is just the imperialism route packaged with a waifu clearly angled towards men.
Golden Deer and Silver Snow are whatever, whatever happened development-side that resulted in their overlap just makes the writing look additionally sloppy. The basement dwellers dashed any last integrity I saw in the writing against the rocks.
The localization of Fates may have been a mess that muddied the game's reputation in the west, but I will always remember Conquest fondly. It wasn't perfect, but I think that those games at least didn't pretend to be something they weren't (and further, weren't embraced by the fandom en masse for being something they weren't) and the maps of Conquest especially had decently designed difficulty to them.
All in all, though, I think the disappointment of 3H was beneficial because it helped me seek out better games in the genre.

>>260529Agree with classic Lara being superior, a proper power fantasy for women. She's not a "femme fatale" in that she never uses her looks to her benefit, but she's also not a body-swap Indiana Jones or anything because she is kind of bitchy and snarky in a way that is endearing to female players.
>>260650>eye color changeThis threw me off while playing the reboot, but her eyes are actually supposed to be brown still. I think the eyes in her in-game model look so light because the lighting effects are part of the eye texture. See picrel, they look blue-gray, but in promotional renders you can see they're supposed to be brown.

>>260529reminds me of this.
Devs in the 90s and early 00s were limited by the hardware their games would run on, that's why most cutscenes weren't rendered ingame but just videos being played from the cd.
This is also why older games have so much content that was cut because they didn't had enough space for it.

any nonas played hypnospace? it was such a fun and surprisingly endearing game about moderating a 90s internet complete with pretty authentic personal websites. tons of really cool music to discover and the story delivered more than i expected. funny and chill, definitely reccomend trying it out

>>261920I wish we could be friends, I'm in the same boat. A lot of "women" into retro JRPGs turn out to be troons.
What are you playing lately? I've been getting my head around the new SaGa Minstrel Song Remaster. Great game so far.

>>261946I haven't actually touched any of the Final Fantasy games myself, although I think it'd be nice to try one eventually just to see why they garner so much acclaim. But I always end up wanting to support less popular IPs and picking up a different game instead lol
How is Phantasy Star IV? I considered playing it when it became available on Switch.
No. 261957
>>261951Not grind-ey for an older game as long as you follow a walkthrough. The dungeons are much easier than its predecessors.
I too have avoided Final Fantasy for a long time. It’s too overhyped and I want to play less-known titles before I dive in just to see how it holds up.
No. 261963
>>261960We have similar taste! I played Growlanser IV and Revenant wings this year as my intro to RTS games and really enjoyed it. Tactical has been a longtime favorite of mine, I branched out recently into older games like the GBA Tactics Ogre games.
>>261957Sounds about right, I've heard there's some prescient QoL that makes it not too bad a grind as well?
Agreed on Final Fantasy. Regardless of how good they are, I feel like at this point, with how much they've been talked up to me, it'll be very difficult for them to actually live up to their reputation in practice.

>>261963I think I've played Revenant Wings back in the day, but the RTS I was referring to was Crusader Kings tbh. Which truly is scrote central usually. Even though I like creating a matriarchy religion and making all my daughters witches and having the highest development counties in the entire world. You can play it however you want to really. I saw a poll where it seemed like a lot of women played it too, but then I found out a lot of the voters were TiMs.

We're getting a full game that follows teenage Cereza from Bayonetta 3 instead of just a DLC, I'm excited! The "demo" from Bayonetta 3 gave me some Sugar Suagr Rune vibes for some reason.

>>262254Between this, the horrible character designs that look like they were made specifically to appeal to FEH whales with shit taste and all the fanservice around the previous protagonists being pieces of equipment it just keeps getting worse. One anon posted this
>>262071 and it made me laugh because the art style instantly made Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude way more generic and boring. They somehow managed to make Edelgard ugly. I don't even like that character all that much and yet even I feel insulted by this.
No. 262417
>>262357Engage's DLC is more of a blatant cash grab due to the game's concept meaning these characters could have and should have been included in the base game without extra payment. This and the implied content of future waves is the laziest, most substanceless way to make money through DLC.
It's a known fact that the DLC has been an ongoing issue but the degeneration of the DLC content itself is an even more embarrassing low. The only thing more laughable is that Fire Emblem fans are going to lap it up regardless.
