Star Rail is a self admitted ripoff of the Trails series just like Genshin is less honestly inspired by BotW. Their character designs frequently rip from other series and gacha as well in a way that I would sometimes consider homage and sometimes consider outright theft. Their event stories and structures are similarly frequently just rips of other games transplanted directly into Genshin or Star Rail or whatever. I don't think they should be sued or anything but it's common knowledge that little Hoyo does is original in origin, they always start with something that's been done and then mix in some coom and barebones lore. It's their recipe for success.

Ok so where is that nonna that wanted to talk about Kingdom Come because I started playing it like 2 days ago and I want to talk about it.
Just the amount of times I died trying to save anyone really before I got into my skull this is not Skyrim and I can't go about it like Skyrim, it was crazy. And I absolutely loved it. I'm still at the very beggining, just finished the boar hunting quest with Hans.
I ended up saving Theresa by accident when I called up the horse because I didn't know how to unsheathe my weapon, so I thought.. these guys gonna kill me if I get near them, so I'll just get the horse, run the other way, figure how to unsheathe my weapon and save the day. Nothing about this plan worked, but Theresa was saved, and after that I died from bleeding before reaching my destination. Kek
I did learned a good lesson thought: even if you have a sword you don't go fighting men fully armored while dressed like a peasant cus that shit will never work. Hard learned lesson but necessary.
But hey, after that was dealt with I killed a fucking hare and a doe on my own, with my own ridiculously bad archery skills, I am feeling pretty amazing right now despite feeling like the village idiot earlier after Hans humilliated me, got coin from him too at least because I am the master hunter alright (not really, my dog did the hard work, but I guess I get some credit too since I stole the meat I used to feed him and that was fucking hard, I tell you. I wasn't made for this.)
All my hunt meat, you know how much money I could've made with that? An entire day lost, I had other plans but I had to be there hunting. Fucking lost everything after those two cumans, my time, my hunt, and without my dog I'd be dead too. But it's all good, the cumans are dead now thanks to my dog and I have their equipment which came in a good time, my old shoes are almost gone. Gonna actually buy my dog some meat now.. or maybe we'll go hunting again when I get the time.
I really want to learn how to read, I have a bunch of herbs and stuff like that and found a place I can brew potions but all I know is what ingredients I need, I can't understand how to do it and the book is right there! But it will all have to wait, everything seems to be time sensitive and I've got less than 7 hours of sleep since I woke up in Theresa'a house. I also ate something that made me sick, I think it was an apple or a carrot I got from a corpse back at Skalitz, or maybe it was a pretzel… who knew that was bad idea?
Also there might be a man or two walking around Rattay naked because I accidentally stole their clothes when they passed out. And thank God they passed out, for a second I thought I had killed them kek
Love this game. It's like everything people try to make Skyrim to be with all the realism/survival mods, only downside is my guy is fuckin ugly but I'll find some mask eventually and when I do I'll never take it off. Also I wonder if I can give anything to Theresa? That girl really needs a bath, like, it's been days, girl, and you look like you're still digging graves. Or maybe she was, knowing her uncle. She'd probably be the only npc besides the dog I wouldn't mind spending my hard earned money on.

i’m on disc 2 of xenogears right now. i am genuinely in awe of how much i have been loving it. so many things that interest me all wrapped up into a mech-shaped package. it breaks my heart that the game was never truly completed. it becomes glaringly obvious once you get to disc 2 and the abridged storytelling really starts up. it deserves a remake.

40 hours into playing Rune Factory 4 Special on my Steam Deck and I love it so far, possibly my new favourite game. Nonas who are also into the Rune Factory series, should I play 3 or 5 next? I know 5 has very mixed reception, but I have heard that the main story of 3 is very short and you can complete it before the first in game year ends. I am also worried that I will have ruined it for myself by playing rf4 first, due to the regression in QOL features.
I am also interested in playing Frontier, but I plan on playing it last in case a remaster is released by the time I get around to it.

No. 399106

>>398942
I’m gonna preface this by saying I’m a big fan of the rune factory series so I’m probably super biased. But if a shorter game is more convenient for you then go for 3. Rune factory 3 was my first rune factory game and then I immediately followed it up with 4, but I was still able to enjoy and sink in 100s of hours into the others. However 3 is the one I’ve sunken the least amount of hours into because it’s so short. Like I was able to romance all the girls to completion before getting married and still clocked only 40ish hours into the game this is for 3 Special. God only knows how many hours I’ve played 3 on the ds when I was only 9 and had no clue how to do anything. Now I do know how to maximize my time in 3 really well, but it really is the shortest game. In comparison I’ve got a little over 200 hours sunk into 5 and 400 in 4 mostly because I played the game on both 3ds and switch to completion.

But a good thing to remember when playing the other games is to not have high expectations, because otherwise you will be disappointed. I know a lot of people were expecting super great things from 5 but just ended up being disappointed because it wasn’t an improvement upon 4 and instead kinda a whole new thing for me it’s very reminiscent of Tides of Destiny and Frontier but with 1’s writing and some modern writing tropes mixed in And I know there were people that were disappointed with 3 Special because it also wasn’t an improvement upon 4 3 Special is just 3 with the skin of 4. And I’ve heard a lot of people say that rune factory 4 ruined farming games for them and all I can say is to not compare games to each other because you will only continue to be disappointed. I used to think the same thing with Story of Seasons Trio of Towns and wasn’t able to enjoy Stardew Valley and the newer Story of Seasons games until I realized that I should stop comparing them and play the games without such high expectations if I wanted to enjoy them. And in spite of the fact that I loved 4, have tons of nostalgia for it, and probably have the least amount of criticism for it, Tides of Destiny is my favorite Rune Factory game. Also I was gonna say just buy Frontier if you wanted to play it, but holy shit when did the price for it go up so much? I bought it for only $20 last year on eBay.

Which Atelier's alchemy system do you think is the easiest and hardest? I've only played four of them, so I can't really give an absolute answer, but for me so far
>Escha/Logy easiest by far, but also the most boring one
>Ayesha; I often see this one being described as one of the harder ones because it's rather unintuitive or something like that, but it was the first I played, so maybe that's why I got the hang of it quickly. Also the most fun, I think.
>Rorona
>Totori, gotta be honest, I don't remember all too many differences between those two, but I think I sat more there ripping my hair out and wondering why it didn't work out again with Totori than I did with Rorona, so I guess this one's the harder one.

I wish that hamphlet killed himself for good before Angie stopped him. It’s whatever though, I don’t think I could handle 4 games with rean as the protagonist.

I really need to start Kiseki. I've heard a lot of people clowning on it, but honestly the idea of such long running continuous JRPG series sounds really appealing to me. There isn't really anything else like that in the era of everything being self-contained in fear of losing potential buyers.

Do you have a game you always come back to? For me it's Spore, played it for the first time when I was 8 and I've been playing it on and off since then. It definitely show its age now and it's pretty wonky in a lot of areas, but I still have a lot of fun making creatures and continuing old safe files or making new ones. Also since the Sporepedia still works, I like just downloading random adventures to see what I can find (there's been a lot of surprising finds).

Oblivion… I don't know why. I want to do another go at Morrowind with a strictly mage build, but maybe with Morrowind because it's more time intensive than Oblivion I just go for Oblivion… for example in Morrowind you can't fast travel from anywhere, you have to really grind your acrobatics in order to move quickly, and the combat starts slow and tedious. But fuck is it a good game.
Oblivion is just addicting sometimes I have no idea why, maybe because of this fella? I also want to replay New Vegas again, that's another addictive one

Give it a shot! Even if the later games drop off a bit, I think most of the nonnas on here who have played the starting trilogy, the Skies games, consider it time well spent.
I'm somebody who stuck through the later games too, and even if I get exasperated by what Falcom gets up to these days, I'm still in love with the world they've built. Nothing really compares for me to seeing just a bit more of it with each installment. It truly feels lived in.

I don't even like this game but I played literal hundreds of hours of it when I was deeply mentally ill and know it like the back of my hand. So I return to it as a comfort game whenever I need something comfortable yet mildly absorbing to take my mind off of things. It's like putting trash TV on in the background for noise.

I was halfway through playing the first Trails game but there was a weird shift in writing where every character seemed to suck off Joshua while Bestelle was the butt of every joke.

Pretty fair complaint honestly, I notice a lot of people complain about Joshua’s pseudo harem and it’s reasonable but I don’t think it’s intrusive enough for it to affect my opinion on the game. I didn’t even notice it at first honestly, maybe it’s because of Olivier’s homolust and yaoi potential with two future characters. Also josette sucks.
As for Estelle, I guess it makes sense since she’s such a sperg esp compared to joshua at this point in the game (I love her to death tho). I recommend setting the difficulty to easy as well since I agree fc is particularly tedious gameplay wise. I think you should pick it up again, ofc I’m biased because it’s one of my fav series ever but sc and 3rd are outstanding, also the last few hours of fc are fun as hell.

Ok, I am addicted to Kingdom Come. Just opened my first lock, and it only took me 48 lockpicks! Lmao
I killed a civillian by accident because I thought he was some bandit trying to fight me… I guess I got really paranoid after stumbling onto too many bandits and cumans. Hid his body near the water, rip. When I realized what I did I just didn't feel like taking his stuff, felt bad, it was a huge mistake. Unfortunately loading an early save was out of question, my last save was hours ago, I did too much progress, this is something I have to live with now. I don't even have the excuse of being drunk cus I wasn't, kek, I was lost in the dark, trying to find the road to go back to Sasau and panicked when he started shouting. I am more careful now and don't go into the woods very late at night, it is really hard to navigate anyway.
I gave so many things to Theresa, even a dress I actually bought, and if she wears it I haven't seen it yet, but it's funny how she went "oh Hal that must've cost a fortune" for some silver ring I got from a bandit I killed in the woods. She gave me some savior schnapps too, I wasn't expecting her to give me anything. I love Theresa, too bad her boyfriend is ugly but I'll compensate that by coming home clean and full of gifts.
I can finally read now, time to steal every scribe everywhere. I also successfully brewed a few potions. Also did I say I just unlocked my first chest? It is an amazing feat. Killing cumans and bandits is easy, an "easy" chest is the real deal. Now I've got that confidence like when I had just killed my first enemy, aw yeah it's finally time for tresspassing, good thing I carry light clothes everywhere, my armor is very noisy.
I love how this game got random encounters and sometimes a bunch of guards/bandits are fighting the cumans and I just stay there waiting them finish killing each other and loot everything. Got some real nice armor back at Skalitz.
Next gonna buy better stuff for my horse, I am never abandoning it for another horse. Pebbles forever.

I started with Graveyard Keeper and it’s so much fun but so hard. I got to a point now where I need blue points to progress and to unlock new skills. However I constantly need items for some quest where I need three other items to craft this quest item. I’m used to crafting in games but I haven’t played a fame that was this complex. Anyways it’s really tough for me to figure out where to invest my few blue coins I have.

It's me again with Kingdom Come.
So turns out Theresa actually wears what I gave her but she only does it in the evening, guess she doesn't want to have dirt on it? It is so easy to get your clothes all dirty even without fighting anyone, so I guess it makes sense. But then again I am always getting stuck in the bushes and falling in the water and getting thrown out of my horse.
Anyway I am now able to break in eveywhere I wish, but I have to be drunk to do so, and I was in a night of crime yesterday, doing every side quest that requires lockpicking and since I have to be drunk to open the hard locks, that gave me the buff 'alcoholic' which reduces all my stats and the only cure for it is a potion I'm having a hard time finding or abstinence. But I cant't, I can't go a day without a drink, I tried and I can't. Look at what I have become, all for the coin. Was it worth it? I am not the man Theresa deserves.
The journey so far: got in the Sasau monastery, stole from the Sasau monastery, stole from the bailiff of Rattay, stole from Sir Hanush of Rattay, stole a horse in Merhojed, stole from Lady Stephanie of Talmberg, stole from the apothecary in Rattay, stole from a random shop I don't even remember where because at this point I was so drunk I couldn't really see where I was going properly and the guards were starting to get suspicious and more than once they stopped me to search and I pulled out the "do you know who I am" card with them kek, I was full of stolen goods, can't go to prison I have a reputation.
I had time to read all the books I stole from the monastery and also killed some cumans. I also did something terrible in the meantime, worse than killing random poachers or knocking out random people to steal their belongings… I finished Lady Stephanie questline and accepted all it implied I am a terrible man.

Yes I was illiterate, the books I'd open looked all funny and I had to find a scribe to teach me. During a quest where I am investigating a crime there is a word written on the wall with the blood of the victim, I tried to read it and the guy was "no idea what is that, wish I could read" then I came back after learning and he said what was written judas, the books all make sense now, it was impossible to brew anything without reading, I could see the ingredients in the book but didn't know the steps.
The protagonist is the son of a blacksmith so he wouldn't really know how to read, I could hardly fight too and sometimes I still die because four or five guys do what four or five guys would realistically do to some guy they are fighting: they circle me and sometimes one of them hold me while the other guy hits me. Of course most of the times I just die by bleeding, it's a big problem, if you start bleeding you better run away or end the fight quickly, but it is hard to end quickly when your enemy is fully armored or even to run away wearing heavy armor. And my horse is a coward that throws me off and runs away when enemies attack me.
Also yes I fucked Lady Stephanie all while I am with Theresa. Theresa even accused me of being with the 'bath wenches' which I wasn't, I would never, but I cheated on her anyway… and then later I was sent to see Lady Stephanie's husband because he had a quest for me kek awkward
I knew that woman had something for me, she talked weird and told me all about her husband (a very old guy) and their lack of children and then she asked me to fetch some stuff and I was "well alright", and then she finds a excuse for me to undress in front of her and I did it anyway, it was too late to go back. So now I have to live with the consequences of being a scumbag cheater who killed a random civillian in the woods
Also drinking is a skill for some reason. Being drunk gives me charisma and also makes me better with a bow (a passive skill you can buy with perk points) but being too drunk makes the character walk all weird and the vision blurry. I am still very bad with a bow, only level 2 while my drinking is level 13 lmao

Well, if you do just know you can't save anywhere you want until you have savior schnapps which are a bit costly at the beginning of the game. The game autosaves during important points of the story and some sidequests, still people complain because it can get a bit frustrating realizing you didn't save before doing something stupid or dying from falling/bleeding/combat. Happened to me lots of times but now I can brew savior schnapps and have enough money to buy it too.
Henry sucks at lockpicking but it gets easier if you keep failing, you don't have to get good, Henry will stop sucking… or you just do like me and become an alcoholic for your crime spree. Henry sucks at everything and many people just rage quit because either the lockpicking mechanics or the fighting mechanics, the fighting you actually have to get good because there are lots of different things you can do and it was really weird the first time I played, I didn't understand what I was doing but the game will show you and then you have to practice.
I am level 14 on sword and I still suck but I also managed to kill a bunch of enemies by just stabbing them to death kek, I just spot the bandit camp and run into it and stab the first guy I see and if I am fast enough two will be dead before they have any time to react, and sometimes the other bandits see their dead buddies and run away from me kek, I feel so powerful till some heavily armored guy with an axe comes running from nowhere to show me how it is, my thin sword have a hard time with these types.
I got this game on sale on ps4, been in my wishlist for a while but I didn't know I would like it that much, and then turns out there will be a sequel coming out soon, so I guess the cheaper price makes sense, they're trying to get more players probably. Sad thing the fandom is full of scrotes with their rape and sex jokes and casual misogyny. Wish I could talk to a woman about the game but I get why it might not attract many women, no judgement.

So I am playing 'A Woman's Lot' Kingdom Come dlc where you play as Theresa, basically her story of how she survived Skalitz and it's funny how the game pokes fun of Henry and at the players tendency of save scumming. Bianca (Henry's girlfriend) literally went "he drinks it (the Savior Schnapps aka saving the game) even before we do it" lmao, look, I only do it when I am about to suicide in a bandit camp… or when I am on a crime spree… or when I am about to make a stupid choice which is almost always… you know what, forget I said anything.
There is also a woman you can talk asking who'd win the tournament and there are a few options and if you choose Henry, Theresa justifies her choice with him being a blacksmith thus probably strong and the woman totally tells how it is, says Henry is fucking lazy and a big loser kek everyone knows it. When I first started the game I lost a fight to a drunkard and had to run to mama so she could patch me up, and then only got what I needed from that guy after asking my friends to beat him up. 4v1, so knightly and honorable kekk

If everything is lit then there should be a prompt like "Touch Remains" when you're close. That should kick off the boss fight. The pillars on the stairs outside the arena should all be lit to indicate that it's ready.
If you're level 30-35ish you should be good to go to do the rest of Stormveil then it's up north to Hogwarts.
Yeah panic rolling is so hard to get over in this they really punish you with delaying attacks. Side to side or forward is usually better than back. Jumping also works well for any attack that runs along the ground even if it doesn't look like you should be able to jump over it.

Took me two tries to defeat Runt. They put that cool scene where Henry fights him like his equal but the truth is the first time I fought him he master striked me to death and then the second time was very anti climatic… he fell after like two hits or something, it was really fast because I hit him on the head and by luck got the "headcracker" perk activated which knocks out enemies when they're hit on the head, but it is very rare to get. Then he fell unconscious and I wasn't even sure what the hell happened till I saw the button "kill" kek of course I stole all his stuff first.

For days I've been getting seriously bad lag when looting/opening chests and couldn't find a solution, the few suggestions on the internet didn't work.. It didn't happen with Theresa and it was driving me insane. It made it impossible for me to choose what to loot, I had to loot everything or nothing at all and some equipment is so heavy, I just wanted to loot the most valuable piece of armor now, no time for cheap Cuman underwear weighing me down. Then after looking up a bit more I found this lag was tied to my alcoholic debuff. Jesus Christ. Once I dealt with it the lag stopped. I found the potion I needed on a Cuman corpse I think. This long ass time sober wasn't working since I couldn't even drink healing potions as that also makes me drunk. Now no more lags. Fucking weird ass shit, I am never drinking again. Sold all my wine, beer, spirits and moonshine, I had tons of that everywhere: my personal chest, my inventory, Pebbles was carrying lots of that crap around, imagine that. Never again.
This game needs some serious optimization for console. Hopefully the sequel won't have these lags and the renderization will be better, seriously, sometimes characters just don't render at all. Elden Ring got a bit slow now I updated the game and the renderization sometimes takes a while but nothing as bad as the long loading times of Kingdom Come.

Anyway, hopefully today I am done with that ghost quest, it is so much work, they made me get into the monastery (alright I went there before but I didn't even know they had a second bigger library there before my second trip) to get a book hidden behind sets of very hard locks… only for me to find the key after I already had the books, mind you, I was trying to fight my alcoholism so the locks got open the hard way, I was completely sober. Can't believe I almost got arrested for that quest. Then went back and forth to Rattay and Ledetchko. But I guess I might be in for much worse since now they sent me to speak to that nasty priest in Uzhitz, I am not even going to describe what happened there with that guy last time but it was enough for me to reload the game and nope his ass. I didn't go back to Uzhitz after that.
I know I am a bit of a hypocrite too, I was fornicating with a married woman, drinking myself to the point I became addicted, and looting corpses all while Henry goes hard on people doing the exact same thing cus "that ain't very christian of you" kek but at least I am no priest alright, my dumb preaching holds no weight.

Unlike the others, I have to defend this game. Ignore the shitty fandom which has been overrun by yuri fetishists and please give the actual game a try. There is zero sexual fanservice and the canon lesbian pairing only gets one short dance scene at the end of the game. I don't see how the use of Cold War era aesthetics must mean it's the creator's literal fetish, the military look is just a male autism thing. I personally find it interesting and unique when mixed with the other story elements, or the horror or violence to be moid-gazey torture porn, the worst it gets is low poly RE zombie shooting with blood and recreating a certain shot from Ghost In The Shell and Signalis's character doesn't have her tits out.

samefagging since I remembered more, Yuri said that he wanted an Eastern bloc vibe because it's a different setting than what's explored in most sci fi games, it also has a very heavy Chinese flair. I can't see these takes itt as anything but projection because, having played it for 50 hours, it's a lovingly made art project that doesn't glorify its military inspirations and the anon who said the game "caters to trannies" is flat out hallucinating. I think the devs let their fandom have full reign on Twitter, they'll retweet all the hyperactive shipper art, and Alex/Yuri's name change is strange but just don't look at that shit like I do and it has no bearing on the game; it's not like Alex has another account that's full of yuri hentai. There's no suspicious things about sex or gender even when the setting has mind/body technology and modular cyborg people, updates are just bugfixes and QoL stuff. If this came out in 2010 nobody would be seeing trannies around every corner.

The guards in Kingdom Come seem to be onto me now. Sometimes they'd just say "stop for a moment, routine inspection" very polite but now they're coming so aggressive, some guard yelled from the other side of the road as soon as he saw me "SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE CONCEALING" like some Oblivion guard catching you on the act, I almost had a heart attack, and yeah I had just stolen everything the apothecary in Rattay had. But whats up with that, I am offended he thought I was concealing anything, doesn't he know who I am? Henry of Skalitz, right hand of Sir Radzig Kobyla, cuman hunter, bailiff of Pribyslavitz, master huntsman of Talmberg and Lord Hans Capon only friend how dare these guards speak to me as if I am some random thief. I think stealing repeatedly from the same place got them a bit nervous.
My clean criminal record is now tainted… not for the apothecary stuff, I just told the guy "do you know who I am?" For the 999 time and he let me go kek but in Sasau some guard came yelling I was violating the law and I should surrender, he didn't even say what I did wrong, and for the first time ever I had done nothing wrong so I was curious, the hell this guard is accusing me now. He then says I should pay a fine of I think 10 groschen for walking around in the dark without a torch. Fucking kek. And it all happened in the little church where I previously stole from a corpse in front of the deceased's son. Good times.

the qunari goes by she/her, that was confirmed by the devs. It's just the regular themlet plays woman thing, like Emma D'arcy.
Most VOs vaguely resemble their characters…not the quanri… Her VA looks like a small asian themlet with frog vioce. I wish they would have cast a proper butch lesbian like Katy O'Brian.

Looking forward to Lucanis, from all we know he's probably going to be my favourite.

Has anyone kept up with World of Warcraft recently? What are your opinions on the state of the game?

I actually enjoyed Shadowlands quite a bit overall, even though most the criticisms it received were absolutely valid. I felt that it had a good amount of content, progression made sense, there was a good level of challenge, Nathria was a great raid, and many of the zones had interesting environments and NPCs, even though the story was shit and nothing really fit the typical WoW aesthetic.

Despite Dragonflight being a return to the usual on paper, something about it felt sort of… wrong to me, but it's hard for me to put my finger on. It feels a little too manufactured, a little too much like fanfiction, and a little too clunky.

I've been trying to play again during the pre-patch, but that same feeling of wrongness remains and is even stronger, honestly, and I think I have to chalk it up to many little things. UI changes that feel very mobile game-y, abysmal lore and storytelling, very generic zones in a game that typically has wonderful environments, bizarre artistic choices, trivial but time-consuming world content, adding and removing complexity from systems seemingly at random, lack of immersion… I could go on.

I can't believe the amount of praise Dragonflight has gotten, as I don't typically have controversial opinions on games, and I'm struggling to enjoy it like I enjoyed other recent and supposedly shitty expansions.
It doesn't seem like there's anywhere worth posting about WoW anymore though; Reddit and the official forums are slightly different echochambers, and /wowg/ has been unusably filled with avatartrannies for many years now. I'm curious if any nonas here have any more nuanced thoughts on the game that aren't just
>wow is now a terrible game by troons and for troons, and you're a mazed retard if you even consider playing it
>the game is the best it has been since legion/pandaria/(insert expansion), and any and all complaints you have are illegitimate
>the story in Dragonflight is so comfy and cozy and I love the wholesome cultural exploration and fun dragon flying and lgbt rep!

Finished Tales of Arise a few days ago, while it does have some occasional pacing issues it's honestly one of the more solid Tales games I've played. The comedic moments are usually pretty well timed, and even though you see the romance between the two MCs from a mile away the development and pacing of it felt so natural I could genuinely buy that they fell in love. I think romance in jrpgs tend to be pretty awkward and forced, but personally I felt none of that here.

God I really wanted this game when I was a kid, but looks like they brought a total of 5 copies to EU because I couldn't find it no matter how many shops I asked (and we didn't have internet connection at the time, so we couldn't order it online)
I'm glad a few years ago I got a R4 and finally could experience it. I wish people didn't close it right off the bat after seeing an screenshot and calling it an Aninal Crossing rip-off. Outside the main setting, it's pretty different than AC and more focused on single-player activities than decorating, so its very fun, plus the villagers have WAY more variety in both designs and personalities.

Turbo WoW autist here, take my opinions with a grain of salt because I've been almost exclusively playing on the PTR for 9 years so I can't really speak on the multiplayer components. I also refuse to engage with anything past BfA because 99% of the content just doesn't feel fun to me

>the story was shit and nothing really fit the typical WoW aesthetic

I was surprised how bad Shadowlands was compared to Legion/BfA, it felt like a really shitty patch to me and I didn't really enjoy any of the content in the entire expac besides maybe Torghast or the Venthyr convenant party thing. I remember absolutely fucking nothing about the story besides the Warden plot twist because it was memed to hell and back. I wouldn't say the zones were badly done or had unappealing aesthetics, but they felt kind of bland and uninspired. I did really like Ardenweald because I'm a sucker for foresty/elven-inspired zones. Dragonflight was slightly better and it felt more "lively" but again there was just something missing about it. I enjoyed how they revamped the profession system to encourage interactions between players (in theory because PTR is fucking dead). I do like that it was more of a chill expansion after all the "zomg big bad #10949227096 is coming to kill everyone we gotta stop him!!!" every other patch because it was so overdone. I also enjoyed the zones more than Shadowlands, particularly the Emerald Dream.

> that same feeling of wrongness remains and is even stronger

You're absolutely right about this and for the longest time I thought I was just being a schizo because I couldn't find anyone else genuinely criticizing it that wasn't accompanied by "woke bad". I don't like how the LGBT rep was so suddenly shoehorned in and all at once. IIRC there were LGB characters that had much better storylines and buildups leading up to the reveal? I can't remember any atm but I felt that it was nowhere near as egregious as in Shadowlands/Dragonflight. The transition from BfA to Shadowlands was so jarring in terms of story/aesthetics that it almost didn't feel like the same game to me. It went from "I'm fighting in a war, conflicts/discontentment over decades have been building up and finally it's all boiling over with devastating consequences for both sides, oh shit the naga/Old Gods are here" I still can't believe they blew through arguably the biggest and best candidates for future expansions in 2 fucking patches to "so the writer's waifu tore apart the sky and now we're in heaven???" It feels like WoW lost an extremely fundamental part of its identity and what makes it appealing, and not just in terms of story/aesthetics/content/etc. Idk if I'm nostalgiafagging but most of the new expacs haven't felt as engaging or compelling despite a lot of cool concepts being revealed. In my opinion it feels like our actions don't really have an impact on the game world as it did in previous expacs, which could be due to the fact that we've beaten gods and one of the biggest bads in the game universe already or just bad writing or any other of 1000 different reasons. In previous expacs you could become "immersed" in the story and environment pretty easily, but now there's so much ridiculous shit going on that you can't do it as well if at all.

Bonus nitpicks:
>UI changes
I genuinely do not understand why they chose to redo everything instead of just cleaning things up a bit and refining the graphics. I actually enjoyed the old "grungy" feel of the older UIs, they had so much character and sovl. Now we just have weird silicon valley-core round semitransparent buttons with a corporate artstyle ass icon.
>bizarre artistic choices
I enjoy the more high res graphics (if you've seen the hexagonal oranges laying around in old zones you know) but at the same time something about their execution makes it feel really generic, like the WoW "artstyle" doesn't shine through. I do really enjoy the character customization changes they made back in BfA, I feel like it gave my characters more visual personality and also makes it easier to clock men/troons kek
>typically wonderful environments
At least 50% of my enjoyment of WoW comes from adventuring in the unique environments, idk if they're running out of ideas or something but how do you fuck up one of the most fundamental things of a fantasy world??
>trader's post
I like the new content it brought, but the battle pass system feels really grindy when we already have like 10 different grind systems and also feels out of place. Other times I've been forced to pick between many things I wanted because for some ungodly reason they decided to cap the amount of tender you can get in a month.
>removal of class sets until recently
This one kind of speaks for itself. In Legion basically all the content was based off class identity and suddenly they just start cranking out sets for armor type only? I honestly really enjoyed going on my profession alts and looking at the different class sets to see the differeces in design choices and aesthetics. I'm happy they're starting to bring them back though.

Overall I think the feeling of wrongness stems from the fact that it's very lackluster and doesn't "feel" like WoW anymore, as their decisions gradually deviate from the concepts of the original game or even semi-recent expacs. Obviously some areas needed development or even rewriting but they made unnecessary changes in many areas. I'm optimistic about it regaining that "spark" but I'm kind of losing hope after seeing TWW. I have a lot of fond memories and addiction so I'm probably not going to quit anytime soon, but I'm looking into alternatives. I don't even want to be a hater, but I genuinely struggle with feeling the same enthusiasm for recent/upcoming expacs that I'm debating whether to just fuck off to a private server and pretend that anything after BfA was a fever dream I had after playing 16 hours of WoW straight. If you got here thank you for reading my word wall and I'd be happy to discuss more if you'd like.

For those who play online games with VoIP,have you encountered other female gamers acting as if they're in love with you just because you're another woman in the lobby?
For example, being overly friendly, making sure to point out that you're a woman, saying stuff like "[username], I love you" out of nowhere etc.
It makes me uncomfortable and I've noticed that it usually happens while they're playing with their male friends, making me feel like I'm there for their entertainment or to showcase that she's a cool girl who doesn't hate on other girls.

Playing Stellaris again and I guess I fucked up. Got a stupid vassal who is a hive mind so I can't really integrate them into my society and now they just have parts of what would be my territory. I should've killed them when I found them, now it feels like too much work even though I know their fleets are pathetic. They have a territory way beyond my borders, dunno how they did it but I guess getting into a war with them to get their territory would make my empire more vulnerable to attacks and it is already vulnerable as it is, I am fucking boxed in the middle of a bunch of stronger empires, my useless vassal, and a fallen empire that successfully humilliated me last night by declaring war and then marching their big ass ships inside my borders making great display of their power. I submitted before they had the chance to strike because that would be like launching a nuclear bomb onto an ant. They killed the princess to send a message, there was nothing I could do, the princess wasn't even 50, she just recently assumed the throne after the queen died of the old age of 109.
This was right after I got dragged into a war I shouldn't by my fucking border ally who I got a defense pact, I should've known! The fucker is stronger than me and was waging war with another empire who got a vassal that is not so useless and actually had great relations with me until their overlord got to war thanks to my "ally". The worst thing about this war: the guy who declared war on this empire doesn't border it! But I do! And I also border their vassal. Thus I got absolutely destroyed and now my fucking ally is cutting certain relations with me for no reason after all I've done to help them. I got fucking barren worlds thanks to this war and my economy is in shambles when before I used to make so much energy and minerals I had to trade it for other things cus I couldn't store it anymore.
So I am fucked. My borders include my useless hive mind vassal who I should've killed when I found them in the cloning vat; a fallen empire who decided to declare war out of the blue probably due to border friction; my stupid ally who thinks they are some bigshot but hardly moved to defend me (their fleet is real slow and they were really far away); the enemy I got into war recently and their strong vassal; some empire I hate who are also a hive mind meaning I have to wipe them out to get their territory and who I had previously thought had only a small fraction of the space but turns out they have a huge empire far away from my borders too.
And only now I am getting better military ships and developing psyonics, what are the chances I get attacked again.. And I am very worried about my ally, they seem suspicious, I think they might be planning on taking me into their vassalage and they actually have power for it. If they do I am about to insult the entire galaxy! How dare they.
I dunno what to do now, I can't take any of them and I am afraid that wiping out my vassal thus greatly expanding my territory will not only make the other empires more inclined on declaring war on me but also deplete my remaining resources which would mean complete defeat. I see my ally is improving relations with their previous rivals, he might want to join them to get me now he knows we can't win. This war made me really paranoid. I guess I am done being nice to aliens.

Then I go on mic for a raid and suddenly she's my bestie kek. I don't think she was necessarily doing it for male attention though, since she was already the founder/queen bee of the group and had everyone at her beck and call, and I wasn't the other woman in the group either. She ended up being pretty two-faced and a massive drama-stir anyway over the dumbest shit, so I think that was just her personality kek

Things are going strangely well in Stellaris now. After two wars I seized three systems of my enemies I had previously occupied. They were unable to do the same cus they didn't occupy any planets of mine and were sustaining big losses despite their best efforts and successfully taking hold of some of my outposts but I was not close to winning either (sometime after the first war and before the second they reinforced their spaceport which sits directly in the border and in the shorter path to their shipyard and my fleets couldn't destroy it without suffering heavy losses so I had to take a different, longer route and didn't get close to their shipyard anyway, too many problems with that route, but got some of their ally colonies) so we came to a peace agreement and I kept their systems, it wasn't what I wanted but it was still a win, I didn't came out of that empty handed and it also helped my allies.
One smaller empire doesn't exist anymore, one of my allies probably seized their territory during the war, I think they were allies with my enemies but they were so far away and small I never even encountered their ships.
My two enemies allied themselves with an empire I tried once to be friends with but they were a tad difficult to build relations and I gave up, but here is where it gets good, their fleet is ridiculously weak, and they are at war with some pathetic uplifted species that is dividing their territory. Lmao. I have 2 of these in my systems but one is already integrated so there is zero chance of them rebelling and the other doesn't have space exploration tech yet so they don't know about all these overlords fighting each other in the sky, they are still very primitive. I think this uplifted species was only able to rebel because I weakened their overlord in the last war. Their existence is a pleasant surprise, I don't have to worry about their overlord that much now they're busy and none of them can expand as my empire already borders them, so I can focus on what is important, my two main enemies at the other side of the universe.
They are about to get squashed into non existence and I will vassalize their little minion that has been unhappy with them since we first met. Seriously, the little guys got boxed into a corner and had control of only 1 system, now two since I weakened their overlord, and they have been insulting me for ages probably in the hopes I'd wage war and their overlord would forcibly get involved and lose thus freeing them or get weak enough they could rebel. Yeah it is kinda working but they will be soon integrated into my territory too. It will all be better, they will have food and resources and not have to worry anymore about borders and politics, alright they will have some limited rights but my people don't openly discriminate against aliens, I mean, that eldritch horror coming out of a black hole is feeding off everyone alike, not just xenos, we're very progressive, a body is a body…
The fallen empire has now open borders with my empire because I gave them some dead species they wanted for their alien zoo. Once I am done with my three enemies and their two vassals I will be unstoppable. Soon I will seize my allies and if nothing big happens, we will march to one last war as one and the fallen empire will know pain.

Any other Isaac nonas? I know there's at least one lurking around. I just beat Derilium for the first time and I now don't really understand why people think he's so hard besides just having bad luck, Mega Satan was way more difficult in my opinion because of the smaller area and the stupid rocks and brimstone beam, meanwhile with Derilium I could just run around and dodge until he transformed into his normal form or a more slow moving boss. Anyways, excited to beat Dogma, I only need to unlock a few more things and I should be good to go.
Going to ramble for a second but despite the game being pretty scrotoid in some aspects I really do love the enemy and level designs and all their cool variations, it's also just so satisfying unlocking more items and more bosses and playing around with characters and oh my god it's so fun.

1000+ hours Isaac player here yes I agree with how playable this game is once you get really into it, clearly.

Also true about delirium, mega satan is way worse, the only thing with delirium is he can get easier or harder depending on how much he telefraggs whereas Mega Satan is fairly consistent, also if you can Eraser Larry Jr at any point in the run, he's much easier.
When I was doing the Ultra Hard challenge (fuck that challenge btw) I actually went to delirium because I was more confident I could beat him over Mega satan, and I did, but then I got that glitch that doesn't let you win the challenge if you go to delirium. so don't do that, just an example of delirium not being as hard, he can just be situational.

The Boss rush is the worst fight imo. It happens too soon in the run and it can give some annoying combination. Hush can be annoying. I usually get so powerful at the end of a run that the last bosses tend to go smoothly, but I agree that mega satan is harder than delirium, specially when you can farm extra items before delirium and the fights are much easier than the ones before mega satan.
The game is sort of scrotoid, but it's so absurd and silly that it doesn't bother me. I've played a few roguelikes, but isaac is my favorite when it comes to gameplay. I like the synergies and the massive amount of items. It's hard but also really chill. Some other roguelikes are way too hard. Once I get a few successful runs I tend to drop them.
>>407280
I'm also over 1k hours on it, it's nice to know there are other likeminded nonnies around! Ultra hard challenge was annoying, some achievements seem to rely on having one of the very few powerful combos available. Repetence is so much harder than the previous dlc imo. Tainted characters are so much harder. I never liked greed runs, having to them all again with every character is demotivating.

Yeah, I can definitely see how Derilium can be a pain in the ass in certain situations but he was really hyped up as the most broken boss. I don't really like saying this but I feel like the people complaining about him genuinely have a skill issue. Also thanks for the tips! I didn't know Larry Jr. could be Erased although in retrospect that makes so much sense considering the non boss variant is very prevalent.

>>407342
Oh my god, trying to beat Boss Rush was the most stressed I've ever been in Isaac. It didn't help that the first time I assumed it was some sort of Hush variant so I was mentally prepared for that fight instead of the clusterfuck that it is.
I find Repentance quite nice to play, although I feel like I'm only just started to really get into the meat of the game. Downpour and the Mines are probably my favourite chapters to play so far after the Womb, it's a nice change of pace and the bosses are so enjoyable to try and strategise around. Great Gideon kinda feels half assed though. Something I also appreciate about Rebirth and all of the DLCs is the fair difficulty scaling, in comparison WoLT is like a constant punch to the gut. I don't think Flash is really that bad but the brokeness of everything is a challenge to get through. The story in Repentance is also really well put together, I sort of spoiled the ending for myself but I didn't think I'd feel genuinely upset over a game where one of the playable characters is a dead baby full of shit.

Also, nonas what character do you tend to main and what are your favourite items or synergies? I used to play Cain all the time for the gambling boost but recently I've been playing more Samson and Lazarus and trying to work with ??? Any rainbow item or Jacob's Ladder to me signals a good run and the Beezlebub transform even more so.

Of the non tainted it's Cain and the lost for me, Judas and Bethany for the tainted. I absolutely love chaos, I am a chaos gamer and I will take it whenever I can consequences be damned and I like any familiar synergies, just a bunch of little guys helping me kill various representations of my mom.

I think overall the game feels finished (not greed mode, ultra greed mode sucks unless you break it with d20) I haven't played without all the DLC's so I'm not really sure what the game is like without them.

Nah I am not that good, I started again and was smarter about it, decided to make a new empire more suited to my playstyle since I was going too aggressive. I still have that run saved so I will go back to it to see how it turns out, I guess I really need a more powerful fleet asap since I can't expand anymore in that run and war is the only option.
In this new run though I just expanded near other empires borders, then I closed borders with them as soon as they get in contact so they can't expand without spending a lot of resources kek that means I can keep expanding and they are all shitting their pants or trying to get open borders with me so they can survey my systems and try to expand there, though they gonna get boxed pretty hard if they try, the only systems available have only one route to my empire, so if they start a war I just build my spaceports close to it and boost their defenses so they can't come in without getting destroyed.
Btw my enemies are almost gone and there are two smaller new empires and one of them is my subject now, they are quite powerful for a small empire but I guess they just seized the opportunity since their overlord was at war with basically the entire universe. I declared war on my enemies while my allies also were at war with them so it was kinda easy but then I got involved in other 2 wars shortly after and it's quite easy to get overwhelmed, I almost lost a few systems because I had to move my fleet to help my allies and my enemies simply rebuild and started getting my outposts while I was at the other side of the galaxy, the AI is smarter than the last time I played this game, too bad for them I can build my ships real fast and somehow managed to win 4 wars with a fleet that is about 90% corvettes.
I have pirates to deal with now and uprising is happening in some colonies so I guess the war didn't ruin my economy this time but ruin everything else.

And yeah that's me, I was hoping to not be so obvious but I just love these two games and none of my friends play them and I am not that charismatic or pretty to become a streamer. If livejournal were still good I'd go there though, or tumblr if it wasn't full of gender shit and other crap, found some women there as obsessed with KCD as me, wish we could be friends lol

I am almost at the end of Kingdom Come, some very spoilerish things happened and I guess now I can make sense of some stuff that was said in the beginning of the game.
I finished A Woman's Lot questline with Johanka and she shamed me for my sins, literally. She listed all the things I've done and made me go on a pilgrimage from Sasau to Uzhitz barefoot wearing only a white robe. She scolded me for fornicating with a married woman, "taking anything that isn't nailed down" as she put it, and funnily enough Sir Divish also implied he heard something like that too when I asked him where I'd get the money for rebuilding Pribyslavitz kek I wonder if he heard about his wife… I kinda feel bad for him now but hopefully they finally get kids? Kek
Johanka also shamed me for killing and drinking like crazy, only thing I didn't do was lay with the bath prostitutes and get arrested, so I am not that bad. Now I get the buff 'clean conscience'.
Also I remembered I helped some woman to kill her ex husband and his new wife, I knew where that was going as soon as she asked me to steal the keys off his wife and his knife, but then she says "come tomorrow and I'll give your reward", I didn't want any reward, at this point I reject any from the common folk if given the option because I just like helping them and I have enough money from Pribyslavitz, but I go anyway to see if she might still be there, maybe I was wrong and it's nothing like that, but I can't find her so I go do something else and return a few days later. I ask the inkeeper about her and he tells me she killed her ex husband and his wife. Yep. I even went to their farm and there is blood everywhere and she never came back. I didn't feel that bad for helping her until I went back to that farm.

I hate when modern "inclusive" video games get rid of choosing your sex at the start of the game, but the character creation is still very obviously just male and female. And also if you pick the totally-not-male-but-enby-option-1 they call you he/him, and she/her if you pick female with no option to change it. The creators clearly know or doesn't care about the bullshit trans stuff but still choose to pander to them by acting like nobody can tell what a male or female looks like. I'd rather they go full troonery so I can turn off the game immediately than for them to lightly pander, like what's the point?!

Incredibly hyped for the new expansion, it's crazy to have these games where the creator keeps on pumping out content after a decade and a half. Tales of Maj'Eyal is another roguelite (going to use that phrase just in case there's a roguelike elitist around about to get pedantic on my ass) that's been in active development for ages, honestly surprised it gets more dlc and people are still in the in-game chat.

or pokemon where they're now suddenly "inclusive" about fashion options, which means they really just removed every single option that is deemed "too female" so no skirts or dresses exist.

I think it puts more people off, but it's small enough that people can just roll their eyes and keep playing, but as a bonus they don't get angry troons after them. Everyone is afraid to get cancelled so it's like a safety net for them to go "see, we're totally in know about gender" without actually having to do anything other than change male and female to "option 1 and 2" but at the same time they can roll back on it any time and go "it was never about gender, we just called it option 1 and 2 to be original".

Though I would imagine after hogwarts legacy was directly related to JKR with the biggest and longest (multiple) cancellation attempts that failed, developers may feel a bit more safe in not pandering.

I lasted about 13-20 seconds against her. At least with Margit and Godfrey every attempt I felt like I was learning something. With this fucking mangy dog it was just pointless, the most pointless soulless task I ever had to do in any video game. With the other bosses I felt like summons made it harder, the fights got way more chaotic. But fuck it, I'm beyond pissed at this point so I think why the hell not. I was doing decent damage, maybe if the summon distracted her a bit I could cheese it. WELL. The summon (ancestral follower +3) DESTROYED HER all by himself. Wtf.

The funny thing about this cow author is that he's so socially inept and misogynistic that his own self-insert fantasy is absolutely filled with all manners of comically "evil women" to the point that they actually become compelling female characters. He projects all his hate of women onto the sorcerresses but I found that in doing so, they actually each have their own agency and hidden motives and plans and they're the main driving force of the story. By comparison, Geralt is just there (and has sex with them). CDPR actually has a terrible relationship with Sapkowski and retconned a bunch of stuff in TW3 to make him mad specifically, like making the sorcerresses into mature-looking women.

I meant I wasn't that good to turn my first stellaris run around. I think I am pretty good at games in general except for platformer and shooting games. I used to play different old games (ps1 and 2, snes, gba) and mmorpgs (perfect world, trickster, lotro, requiem memento mori, megaten, tales of pirates… God, I wasted my teen years with all that crap instead of doing something useful), kinda bad at elden ring but it may be the case of me choosing the wrong class for my play style. Tried a different class the other day and it was way easier but I don't want to start over just yet. I'm stuck in crumbling farum azula right now and it was so hard to get there, I don't wanna respec again but I might have to.

Btw I just won a few more wars in stellaris and a new nation appeared and declared war on me and I never heard of them so I go check them out and it's… my own people on the other side of the galaxy. I have no idea how that happened but my guess is that one of my allies let a colony uprising get out of control and they declared independency and they happen to be my people because of the migration treaty. It is kinda funny.

And in KCD some guy just decided to attempt murder in the middle of a camp full of guards kek that game feels like oblivion sometimes. The guards had already killed the guy but every time a new guard saw the body they started yelling "don't let him get away". The guy he tried to murder is involved with the main quest so I guess he is immortal cus he got attacked anyway, his face is all bloody and he was uncounscious for some time, then got up like nothing happened and went to sleep beside the dead body of his attacker. He did get angry with me though cus I let this happen. I had no idea the guy would do this! Thought the quest was over as soon as we left that town, and I was in the middle of a conversation with another npc! Lmao. Also my game crashed 3 times in 2 days. This game is making my ps4 suffer.

Nonnies, I just need to (positively) vent. I love this game so much. I think about it almost every day, not as that much of a complex thought, but, just, as a fond memory. It's free on Steam, and I adore trying out random free indie games. So I downloaded it, intrigued by the creepy looks of it, but instead found my own comfy safe space. Something in this game gives me such a calm, cosy feeling. I know the game is made to look unsettling as fuck, but all the NPCs are so kind, and after wandering around, you become familiar with the world and the disturbingness fades. The giant flats with the tiny concrete apartments, the random screams in the distance, the heavy, hopless atmosphere, getting no background information at all, somehow it tickles my brain in the exact way I need. I love this game. Please give it a try.

How non automatic some mechanics are are a bit frustrating tho.

Has anyone else just fallen out of love with gaming? It used to be such an immense source of comfort and escape for me, and I had absolutely no problem playing back to back hours and hours of a good game– in fact, finding a game that could pull that from me was the best feeling in the world.
That's just vanished for me this year though. When I play games I somehow just feel stressed about the time I could be spending on other things, even though there's literally no new responsibility for me to be stressed like this over. Or I feel like it's pointless and I'm being pulled through a prescribed experience even though nothing's changed.

NTA, but I don't think it's as bad as anon claims. the Witcher series pretty much a typical fantasy with "dark" themes (wouldn't call it a dark fantasy per se, but it has enough elements of it to be considered adjacent). But some people are more sensitive to it than others, so anon might pick up on stuff some of us just wave off due to the setting and general edginess of the game. I don't expect a game that has fairly graphic violence and death all around most of the map, set in huge areas inspired by a wartorn medieval Europe, to not bring up the subject of rape but again I don't remember Witcher III being at all as bad with it as anon claims. I would have of course preferred it without, but the game is honestly one of the better modern fantasy rpgs out there if you aren't into souls likes so I really recommend it. The DLCs are really good too.
It's ridiculously cheap when it's on sale so if you are curious about it I recommend picking it up when there is a sale going on, it will barely even make a dent in your pocked kek

If I don't feel up to it or I'm not enjoying myself I don't play, simple as.

> When I play games I somehow just feel stressed about the time I could be spending on other things

It's important to tell yourself that you're allowed to "waste time". You're allowed to relax. You aren't supposed to be productive at all times and it's actually not healthy to be. I used to feel guilty about not using my time wisely, but as long as your space is clean, your relationships are healthy, and your bills are paid there's really nothing else you "have" to do. You are allowed to spend your time in whatever way is enjoyable to you. That's what life should be about imo, enjoying yourself. If you really feel stressed over it you could try putting aside a reasonable time each week/day to play. Say, after dinner to unwind or sunday evening since most people relax at those times anyway. That way you can tell yourself you've already completed what you needed to that day/week and this is your "me" time. Try not to be so hard on yourself nonnie!!

You get used to it quickly once you learn to ignore some of the bloated mechanics like weapon skills and soul transfusion.

My great Stellaris empire won't load. It's stuck in the loading screen forever, couldn't find a solution that doesn't involve too much work that might not even solve the issue.
So! I started KCD again on hard mode with all negative perks.
I am hungry all the time, lost all my money on dice because I don't know when to quit and managed to go to prison for accidentally hitting some rando during a fight, and turns out getting arrested in Skalitz grants you an achievement and a game over. Since it was hard mode and hard mode has no autosaves and I didn't manually save… well I had to do it all over again. So I speedrun things in Skalitz but I guess I shouldn't've gotten the beer first cus dad berated me for giving him warm beer and made me get another lol didn't know that was possible.
Died a bunch of times going back to Skalitz because Henry is so much weaker. I also sometimes wake up in random places because of the somnambulant perk, my luck is that I woke up in the cemetery in Rattay, not far from where I went to sleep.
Somehow I managed to win the archery contest against Hans despite the low level and missing a few shots, then I lost the duel because my stamina is horrible due to the consumption perk.
I can't open locks yet and Henry learns so slowly, so my future will be alcoholism once more for sure. On the plus side I remember how to brew savior schnapps because I made it a ton of times on normal difficulty so I made as many as I could as soon as I set foot in Rattay. I wonder if I can make the other potions without having the recipe because I still remember how to brew some of them and I really need the money. I forgot how it felt to be poor in this game.

Have you never heard of nopaystation? People found a way to get download links straight from sony's CDN servers they use for the playstation store. If you really need to use .iso files there's tools to extract the package files and another one that'll convert the files to iso and act like a disc game if you load it through something like multiman (I use irismanager though since that app recognizes my external NTFS drive)
Modding a ps3 is easy until you're reminded the console is very finnicky with flash drives. Suddenly most of the drives I used wouldn't be recognized on the second one I hacked even after doing the whole song and dance of reformatting the partition to MBR and whatnot. So annoying, but so satisfying when I finally found one that worked.

Nonnies, I need advice.

For some context I am a die hard Dragon Age fan. I have very very fond memories of my time with the games and I loved every second of getting totally immersed in the characters, world and story. The combat however, I do not really care about and play all of them on easymode so I can get faster to that sweet sweet plot.

Now Baldur's Gate 3 winning that award for best narrative piquéd my interest, as one would say. And of course, people saying that it's more Dragon Age than current year Dragon Age. I don't have a PS5 for now, but am planning to buy one for Veilguard so I can put the corpse in the ground and finally do my mourning. So now my plan is to play Veilguard, and then play BG3 so I can end this saga on a somewhat good note. I'm a completionist so seeing that cheeky 3 I thought to myself I'll play the first two games meanwhile before the horrorshow drops on Halloween. I did the same thing for the Witcher 3 (as well as read all the books before that even) and my experience with it was amazing and without match, I know if I hadn't gone through all that effort the experience wouldn't have been half as good.

So basically my question is: if I'm only interested in characters, story and lore, is it worth it to play BG1 and 2 before BG3? I've never played DnD in my life. Thank you.

Yeah Nopaystation is the only site I have found with PS3 games (rip vinm lair), the ISO is because the console barely has memory so playing the games straight from an external HDD is ideal. I have heard the PKG -> ISO converters are kinda hit or miss, but I will try them.

I dunno if that will solve it for you, but I downloaded PrepISO and it made the PS3 recognize all the flashdrives no matter how they're formatted.

It's really not necessary, unless you really want to understand a couple of references from Jaheira's and Harpers' storyline. And even then it would be enough to just play BG2, since a lot of things from BG1 were straight up retconned (like the Harpers being a true Neutral organisation that is against both Good and Evil) and BG1 is less "story heavy" (although i kinda like it more tbh). It was a much older edition of DnD rules, ie practically "happened in a parallel universe".

No. 410944

I've tried prep before but for some reason it just never worked for me. I'm fine with using iris though, gets the jobs done just fine.
As for the converters, I've only ever had an issue with converting one game to iso (samurai warriors 4 empires) and that was because the game for some reason lacked the required files to convert. Aside from that I've had games run fine through this method. There's also the option of replacing the internal HDD in the system, but that would require jalbreaking again and reinstalling everything since I think data on the ps3 drives are encrypted.

This game is so fun, I've been playing nonstop for the past few days fucking around with multiple colonies in different terrains and trying to survive them. I never tried it before out of fear that it might be too complex (like Terraria), but it's just the right amount of complex.

Oh nonnie… The total lack of marketing from EA is a big big red flag that they're pushing this game out to die. Only 1 year ago DAV was still called Dreadwolf and the new tranny director has been on for less than that. It can be surmised that the game has gone through its fourth and fifth reboot in less than a year. The trailers (which show the good part, remember Anthem) show the ugliest, most empty and boring environments. The companions still look like they're from an AI-generated hero shooter despite EA walking back the live service thing. The game is not done. BioWare is not gonna survive this.

I don't recall EA ever doing hardcore marketing for any Dragon Age installment. Not like they did for Mass Effect, which is their flagship franchise. Also, along with the troon they brought back Mark Darrah to help the project along and make adjustments. I disagree with you, but we'll see how it pans out in October.

friend and I bought a second-hand copy of Andromeda recently to see just how bad it was (we'd never played), expecting at least some of it to have been overblown. We're playing it unpatched and holy shit is it awful, but also hilarious, so it's taken over our bad/b-movie nights kek. The bar fight scene is probably our favourite so far. Amazing.

Funny as it is though, really not looking forward to ME4 (or is it technically 5?). I loved 1 and 2 so much, but I have no faith that the next one won't just be a different kind of mess to Andromeda/parts of 3.

The hype for Anthem 'killing destiny/the division/etc' and 'fixing mmo-lite/live service games' issues with storytelling' was both intense and annoying for someone who was into destiny at the time kek. I was lucky that I at least had plenty of people to play it with on release because so many in my D2 clan were keen to try it out (and its price also plummeted within days of coming out kek), but it was so jarringly bland and poorly thought out. Made a lot of sense when it came out that apparently the devs avoided looking to games like destiny during development (clearly they didn't learn from any of those games' many, many mistakes and issues), or that it was another instance of a game not having its core elements worked out until way too late in development. Hell, the bulk of the game felt more like a very polished vertical slice or demo level than a map for a live service game, both too small to be varied enough to spend a lot of time in, and too big for the four player limit or whatever it was per instance to be able to get to and complete events together with (iirc getting an alert for an event was proximity based and they weren't even shown on the map until after a patch or two). As for the story… yeah not much to say other than bold of them to end on a cliffhanger and then never touch it again because the roadmap was too ambitious/they gave up. Andromeda could have been excellent or bad but bland enough to get forgotten instantly, and Anthem still would have been a mess because of the design choices behind it and it being the result of yet another company falling for live service's lucrative siren song, despite how difficult to pull off long-term those games actually are.

Was pretty grim though seeing all the cut content concept art and 3D work that artists eventually started posting over the years since– none of it would have fixed or saved the game, but it was clear that the team was being dicked around for a lot of development, and the game didn't need to be as empty as it was.

Not really. I feel like the graphics are way too realistic for the audience that likes the sims. I don't think people play the sims for the hyper-realistic graphics in the first place. The sims has a certain charm and style to it while having decent customization that I don't really think these other life sims capture well. Inzoi looks great but extremely generic. Building is also another really surprisingly detailed and complex aspect about the sims and while it does look like Inzois building could be going in that direction it still looks generic and boring.

I have a soft spot for AA4 as it was my first AA (played it at the tender age of 7 years old kek) and I absolutely love the art direction in it, Klavier was my first anime husbando ever. I also love all the cases and it has an incredible villain plot twist. However, I will say that objectively AA3 is the best game in the series.
>Favorite case
Turnabout Time Traveler from AA6, Turnabout Succession from AA4, and Rise from the Ashes from AA1. Sorry Investigations, I like Edgy but I just didn't think any case from the duology was in any way memorable.
>Favorite character(s)
Ema is my favourite female character from AA, I remember thinking how I wanted to grow up and be a cool adult woman like her. Mia is my second favourite female character, she's so cool and competent, I just wish she wasn't so sexualized in hindsight.
As for males, Klavier is pure sexo, I love him and his stupid chuuni rockstar cringe. Kristoph is also a really good character, but Godot takes the cake if we're talking about villains. I also love Edgeworth and how sensitive he is.

He has funny videos, but mostly the old ones like his clock tower series when he still got scared of things (unfortunately not up anymore, dunno what happened) I think his new stuff is trash mostly because of his mood, and he always seem to be in a bad mood. I hate how he starts getting snarky with his own viewers for any little thing, I find him very annoying now, there are too many guys out there doing exactly what he does and he is not giving much reason to why we should stick around, he just complains like a child, "well, I didn't need you anyway".

Like not even a thank you or something to the people who love your content but you'll reply in a snarky manner to some comment that's not even worth the time just so you can get more asspats for being annoying and miserable.

My roommate is letting me open his copy and take it for a spin, but reading honest reviews it seems like it's more of an action game and not really all that recommended for those wanting a good rpg experience.

I remember feeling something like that too. But then you play for a bit and the novelty quickly wears off until you go back to playing 30fps for awhile.
Speaking of, I'm going to take this chance to complain about the weird obsession with frame rate. 60 is better, duh, but I don't get the obsession of NEEDING it on EVERY single game. Or the retards obsessed with getting more than 60, it's just not necessary for every game. Maybe it's because I'm not super obsessed with performance but for me, if it's at a consistent framerate and isn't lagging, then it's fine.

No. 414702

>>414685
Yeah specially when a game gets ported and they make it run on 60fsp just because the new hardware lets it. You end up getting used to it after awhile but the first hours are always very jarring. Old games aren't made for it, they makes it look like those ai-upscale interpolated vidoes of Disney animations, in the P3P port even some animations get cut off early because the frames makes everything go faster.

>>414697
They are important for shooters, fighing and rhythm games since they got a frame-perfect gameplay. But for everything else it doesn't matter, it's wild how people are now asking for 120fps for PC games, are eyes even able to notice the difference?
30 and 60 look pretty different when you put them side-by-side but as you said the novelty wears off fast as our eyes get used to it, after playing for a while both look the same as long as the frame rate is consistent.

Second ayrt and I agree, there's only a few genres where it really matters.

I have never played an Atelier game but I got mildly interested in it because I heard from anons that earlier entries were more "female-friendly" or female-oriented. The art and character designs looked cute and nice, it seemed to have a comfy atmosphere, etc. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this in the Direct. Even though I instantly recognized Takaya Kuroda's and Takehito Koyasu's voices (♥) this looks like a mega-coomer game that I'm not touching with a 10-foot pole.
Pic related, these are official posters. What the fuck happened??

I had to look up what the fuck that was. And also they're mad that there's an anti-global warming message?
About Terraria, I honestly never saw the sex change potion as having the colors of the tranny flag or any other pride flag. I know there's at least one troon in the dev team (trooned out after the game came out iirc) but the colors just seemed the typical sexist "blue for male, pink for female" thing, although on second thought, it might've been a subtle tranny reference. I haven't played Terraria since before that update (1.4.5) but do they change your pronouns and shit in dialogue? If not, I honestly don't give a fuck even though the lack of explicit male/female labels during character creation are a sign of pro-tranny attitudes… I don't care because I always make my characters male (didn't like the female characters' bodies and clothing options plus their grunts make me feel uncomfortable kek).

>>414854
Yeah, honestly I mind way less about some pride flag stuck in an obscure corner of the game world than pervasive misogyny and pornbrained design/writing in the entire game's world, characters and narrative. Unless the entire game is about ass-kissing trannies (and there are games like that) I don't give a fuck. Not to mention that there's nothing wrong with being gay even though both anti-SJW moids and the wokies they complain about lump gay people and trannies together. Anti-SJWs just want their games to be about killing and raping without consequence even though there have always been video games with deeper themes than mindless murder and hedonism.

I know me3 is flawed but I would encourage you to give it another shot so long as you play it MODDED. I just started a modded playthrough and it's so impressive what modders have been able to do. It's not just stuff like character outfits or changing weapons stats modders have added new levels, different ending, new romances and new game mechanics.

I consider lists like these as a tool that we can use as per our needs. Like using "bad TERF" list on tumblr to find based women. The examples in the picrel of >>414778 are mostly retarded, but some of the later entries about indie games have saved my ass. A relatively more woke friend of mine was trying to rec me a indie horror game, I looked it up and apparently the protag and a good portion of the cast are nonbinary they/thems. Absolutely noped out of that garbage.
On the other hand, the list complains about a game that they found too girlbossy where the story ends with female mc kicking the villain in the balls, I'm downloading the game as we speak kek

Here's a short compilation of some entries that made me laugh. See if you can guess the game from these descriptions alone.

I find the fact that they consider the mere existence of homosexual people "overt pro-LGBTQ messaging", the presence of abusive parents "anti-family", women with some feminist ideas (which probably amount to "women should get treated with respect") absolutely intolerable, while loli moeshit games about anime girls fighting get their approval, unless they contain "woke" themes such as homosexuality or whatever they call "pro-immigration" lol. It really shows what kind of people they are. Even funnier might be that they also review shit like western romance games for women, or fetish games for moids, and complain that the protagonist is not straight, kek.

They really think every game ever made must cater to them, and don't seem to have a concept of "target audience". As if you need a shitty /pol/ list to determine whether you'll find gay content in a game called "Yearning: A Gay Story". Imagine being one of these retards and actually buying and playing this game just to say "yup, this one's gay, not recommended" on Steam for everyone to see. At least one of the reviewers is a confirmed crusader LARPer btw. You should see their thought process in action: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Woke_Content_Detector/discussions/1/4514380548228907182/
>it becomes clear many stories, characters, and themes are simply based on them and their life experiences (self-inserts).
>it would appear these people are not making games for us (the public at large), they are making games for themselves.
That's just another way of saying
>REEEEEE WHY DON'T VIDEO GAMES CATER EXCLUSIVELY TO MEEEEEEEE I WANNA SELF-INSERT AND LARP AS AN ALPHA CHAD THAT KILLS AND FUCKS EVERYTHING I WANT, I'M THE ONLY TRUE GAMER I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS
The YouTuber moid who made the review makes some good points, but they're sadly undermined by all the literal /pol/cel bullshit. There's this fantasy setting with a lot of crazy magic shit going on, and what triggers the scrote is that there's too many powerful women cuz women not being weak, useless sex slaves that stay in the kitchen all day is "unrealistic" and communist propaganda. Kekking my ass off. By the way these fuckers speak you can tell they just want to murder everyone who isn't white, straight and Christian.

>>414892
Yeah, I do the same thing, love that not only it helps you find non-misogynistic games with strong female characters, but also tells you if they're ruined by trannyshit. I just wishlisted/bought a bunch of games on there kek. Also found out that some games I had a mild interest in have pro-tranny bullshit in them, but most of the rest are insignificant, obscure games that I'd never heard of before and are easy to clock anyway, you can tell by the art style alone if it was made by twitter gendies.

Atelier has ALWAYS had advertising like this, except with 12-13 year-old girls instead of women with adult bodies. I understand why people might not like that the series is moving away from cuter designs (Totori is the cutest) but for me it's refreshing that the past couple of protagonists have had more womanly proportions and mature personalities.

I don't even own the game but even I can tell the trannyism in it is making a critique on unnecessary surgery and bodymods, not celebrating it KEK. There are ads everywhere in the gameverse selling a body mod, and use trannies as the ultimate bodymodders in order to promote these products. E.g. brand new customisable nipples in one ad (all the options look ridiculous). Trannies are barely the focus at all, it's mostly "normies", like there is a sidequest where a guy got an illegal mod to make his penis bigger and it starts malfunctioning, so you have to drive him to a surgeon but then a bunch of obstructions occur (little kids crossing the road, road works, traffic jams) that prevent you from driving him swiftly to his location and he's crying and yelling in pain. It's very funny.

I recently saw one of the trailers for this game on Steam and for some reason assumed that it was for moids (I only saw the female love interests). I'm glad that's not the case, because this definitely looks good. I know they were trying to emulate 90s shoujo anime chara designs, and they mostly succeeded (imo), except for the fact that the pixel art is too clean, unlike in 90s anime-style console games which had lots of shading and way more detail than this. That's really my only problem with the art, it's too obviously 2020s.
Gameplay-wise, I got Stardew Valley but could never get into it after trying it once. Maybe this one will be better for me? The love interests certainly look more appealing, so that could keep me hooked.

I got the feeling that the underage protags were being sexualized a little because I saw some designs like picrel. This design could've been perfect, it's so cute, until you see the cleavage. Why does a 15-year-old girl's breasts need to be rendered with such amount of detail? That's what I wondered.
My impression is that they were trying to appeal to both sexes, use an art style and setting that appeals to girls, design all the characters as cute and shoujo-like as possible, but also sprinkle the female characters with coomer shit such as cleavage, zettai ryouiki, tiny skirts that show a bit of butt, and arpmit/underboob, to ensure that the female players aren't completely put off by it but also the moids can fap to it. I know there was even an otome game spin-off that I'm definitely downloading as we speak, and taking this new game into account (which might be more of a spin-off than a main game if they're really changing the gameplay drastically) it's clear they're trying to pander to both.
Anyway, I'm going to try those games one of these days, just not these newest entries.

No. 415202

I caved and got fields of mistria, I’m enjoying it so much! So glad I went ahead and got early access, I can’t wait until it’s done but so far it’s scratching that itch. The pronoun nonsense is dumb as hell but has little impact (there are no characters with special pronouns that I’ve noticed so there’s no clunky or confusing dialogue). Lots of quality of life upgrades you can get throughout to make things easier/quicker and lower material costs. Gold accumulation feels slow but I tend to horde my meager crops which might be hindering my progress because they seem to be really good sellers. They need to make milling part of crafting because crafting is so slow to level! At first I thought maybe I’d romance the prince or merchant guy but Reina has coms out of no where with all her cute outfits and food. If Balor keeps saying nice things though I might pick him… or March if he can stop being an asshole for 5mins, no his antisocial behavior because of muh shyness is not cute. Last gripe, some of the tool upgrades feel a little pointless. When are there ever going to be three trees lined up in a row for me to use the axe in such a manner? Also why does the energy expenditure seem to reflect the increased squares hit? Which also feels redundant, why upgrade if it doesn’t mitigate energy depletion?

For the non DA nonnies he's a companion in the first DA, no he's not a random unimportant npc that shows up once, he's a whole ass companion and they first show a screenshot of him modded with Witcher armor and then they don't even remember shit about the character. The guy at the back, John Epler is one of the original Bioware staff and he looks like he's fucking dying, and with reason.

Has anyone here played Chef RPG? I wishlisted it on steam but no way I'm buying it for the full price. People mention a lot of bugs and other problems like spelling mistakes, I get that it's early access but still some reviews make it sound pretty rough. Either way I'm more worried if the game is actually interesting on itself than I'm worried about bugs, some stuff I've seen is so reminiscent of Stardew Valley, it makes me wonder if I shouldn't just play SV. There are so many games that seem to have been designed for people who want to play something like SV but have played SV so much they are tired of it, so they play something that looks like a heavily modded SV. And these games are always like double the price of SV, while SV has been much more polished and gotten massive free updates.

If you mean Warhammer in general, I've always interpreted it this way. Everything about that setting is either miserable, or obscenely destructive to the point of redundancy. There is no long lasting hope in that series that things will ever be better or that peace will be achieved. Everybody is against insurmountable odds at all times. One might think that's the point of the series and get really turned off by it and I think that's super valid, but from what I've actually seen from people who care about this franchise, it's actually just to contrast the actual appeal. People like the idea of not being alone in that kind of miserable situation. Even if your up against something you can't really stop, you've got like 50 other guys backing you up in a last stand. I think that's why you always hear about either the space marines or the orcs when people talk positive about 40k because they seem to embody that sort of thing the most. That and people who like nazi aesthetics/edgelords.

The game is a Xbox 360 title transported to 2024 for the dudebros that miss the era.

Even if they weren't the best mechanics-wise, I enjoyed the gritty feel of these games. What I love about Manhunt specifically is the life they brought into the characters.

i think you'll laugh at the gore in these games. they were scandalous at the time but so incredibly tame now compared to the bloodfests of modern horror. hell, even normal action games have buckets of blood splattering everywhere it feels like.
i recommend starting with condemned if you're unsure, it's the "lightest" of the genre. you're an fbi investigator trying to solve a bunch of homicides. enemies consist of random hostile hobos and drug addicts and more, and you kill them pretty basically with pipes and stuff. the suffering and manhunt are more violent.

I wish there were more women in the fandom, fanart, fanfic, weird rambles, anything to fill this void. I am playing it again on hardcore (again again because I lost my last hardcore save) and I am still in the prologue, Henry can't throw one punch without going blue or hungry, and I died way too many times, can't wait till I wake up in the middle of the woods again after safely going to sleep at Theresa's.
I wish there were more scenes with Sir Radzig, it felt so weird when they throw everything on you and then he goes "I'll explain later" but we never have time and when I had the time to go back to him he was just so casual "what do you need lad" I need explanations! A hug too and maybe some time alone in your room so I can… borrow some stuff.

I agree with your racism comment, nona. It wasn't helped by the fact that the creative director was trolling people left and right, but that's what we get today. how people didn't understand that in 1403 bumfuck Bohemia modern (forced) "diversity" wasn't a thing is beyond me. Also, most didn't get that they weren't the target audience for the game, tbh I wish more developers had the balls like Warhorse has.

btw nona, I feel your pain - there's like two fronts to the KCD fandom: r/kingdomcome and the Tumblr ladies. at least none of them are the black plague. I mostly follow the tag in Tumblr to see if something new pops up, but it's such a niche fandom (thankfully). All the woke and ignorant crew hate KCD mostly because the devs don't care about their feefees lol. (I must say, Rednightmare's fics in AO3 are a banquet if you can tolerate H+H slash).

As for my thoughts regarding some characters:
Nona, I feel you so much. They left so many threads untied because a-they ran out of money and b-they knew they were making a sequel, so I just have these absolutely insane "what ifs?" running in my head. I feel Radzig doesn't care about Henry at all, and sending them to Trotsky is anything but a trap to get rid of Hans and Henry. I think he has something going with Itzsvan, seeing how much of a negotiator he is. Also, what about Martin? Who sends Godwin to Kutna Hora? AAAAHHH NONA I NEED TO KNOW

And nona if you plan on rebuilding Privitslavitz…
If you rob the quarry correctly (because the quest is bugged af), you can send those two over to Priv, where they drink the town dry lol. also Henry can give them the middle finger there too.

And about Theresa's DLC…
When I played the first time on my Switch, I started the DLC by accident and I lost a whole day trying to survive. Which was impossible, since my Henry was greener than his starter outfit and controls/combat was so alien to him and me. So, I went to my last Henry save and picked up the pace. I was so angry and hated that until myself and Henry learnt the ins and out of everything. I went back to the DLC on my second playthrough on PC and played once I finished Henry's main quest and I only can say the DLC has the best story of the game. Not only is a mirror parallel to Henry's story, but how Theresa deals with the aftermath is so mature and filled with love compared to Henry's rage and revenge. I will die for Theresa and my HC Henry refused to hang out with Godwin and have babies with Stef lol

And KCD2 Henry… my baby boy, look at him, siiiiigh. What a dreamy bastard, I love him so much. In KCD he has a rounder face, given that Tom Mckay was 34-ish when he did the mocap. Now with the face cameras and such, it's a toss up between looking older and/or more detailed. I think he looks nicer in the gameplay demo from Gamescom though! WH rounded up his face slightly. I wouldn't say they made him a chad, "it's just better graphics" lol.

Looks like Level 5 is full-on on the AI train. Right now they're using it for quick concept-art and placeholders, which I technically don't have issue it since it will be all replaced with actual art/voices but it's a slippery trope. If they made a trailer using AI slop, I wouldn't be surprised if eventually they disregard the full creative process and just add untouched AI stuff in their games to cut costs.
A shame when they have one of the best creative teams. Guess from now on I will be pirating/buying 2nd hand the new Layton game and whatever they release next. If I wanted AI stuff/games, then I would just do that from home for free.

I remember Atlus mentioned a year ago or so they wanted to use AI to generate simple base ideas for their concept artists and such as well. I guess this was inevitable, but it's sad it has come this.
Of course videogames are first and foremost a way to make money and that's the devs' main objective, but remember when they actually put care into them?

"Soul" is a buzzword at this point, but between the constant remakes/reboots (often by people who don't care for the author/game's original vision) and AI slop, most games nowadays just don't hit anymore. They feel like pre-made refrigerated meals.

Yeah I think the same. Radzig sounds like he longs for the idea of being a father, like what could have been, but doesn't do anything to fix what he has now. Doesn't help that he looks like a douche, going blind in this game I legit thought he'd fuck me up somehow, he just have that douche face, then I flip flopped between being suspicious of him and trusting him a few times. Well, I guess that might be thanks to every other authority going "you fucking donkey" at me like Bernard and Robard, though Radzig himself said that word by word kek but then sometimes he'd throw a bone and tell me what great job I did even if it had a hint of disapproval on how I did it (guess he doesn't like how I do things because that happened more than once), "good job you donkey" is how he sounds everytime I talk to him.
Martin was a better father, Radzig can't compete no matter how many 'son' he throws in his phrases.


I did hang out with Godwin but when I saw where it was going I loaded the game and refused to do it again lol I felt so dirty. I know I did sleep with Stephanie while with Theresa but it felt less horrible than what happens with Godwin and I also didn't want to make the same mistake twice, I felt really bad when Theresa accused me of cheating after Stephanie.
I dunno why everyone says Godwin is so fun and the best quest in the game, ok, the preaching part was funny but he is such a hypocrite he made me angry. I am also a hypocrite alright but that's not the point.
I liked Johanka's questline a lot better.


I liked some stuff in band of bastards which kinda saddens me it had no Radzig, he just sends you there and barely speaks to you, I did that by the very end of the game but I think that should've been done way sooner, I know they didn't have enough time and put that on a dlc but it should've been a part of the main quests or something, it fits much better as some important side quest than a dlc.
I liked that they sent me to find some bandits camp and I kept forgetting this is not like other games and I could've just gone back and get them helping me but instead I run into the camp like a madman and stabbed everyone with my pointy sword before they figured what was going on. I went back to Kuno and the guy asks me "so where are the bandits"
"Gone, I killed them all"
"Are you insane" is the dude's response. How these characters manage to make me feel inadequate for doing a real good job, it's worse than when I just botch things up because at least they expect me to botch it kek but I ain't doing that anymore, hardcore is really killing me so I'll get all the help I can and maybe try to level up my stealth earlier and actually practice with a bow.


I really like the parts of the game that make Henry so pathetic though, like if you get thrashed by Kunesh and go to mama "Ma! I'm huuuurt ugh, it won't stop bleeedinnng" and the very beginning in that cutscene with him pathetically swinging the sword in front of Radzig. It feels real good when you make him a good swordsman to remember how he started.
The first time I killed a cuman I felt great because Hans had just humilliated me and before that it was Bernard, I was feeling pretty down, the real village idiot. And then Hans gets so friendly after I saved him, it felt so much better than any other game that makes you badass from the start, I never felt bored even after getting some nice armor.
I mean, what is a nice armor anyway when a large group of peasants armed with pikes and maces decide to rob you kek
And btw Hans got really likable, I was so ready to hate him forever because of how he spoke to me and I can't anymore. In the end he is as pathetic as Henry. Guy is always with prostitutes or drinking with a bunch of bootlickers and when he finds a girl he likes he is so retarded about it he can't even act normal and he got no friends, only Henry, he is such a loser kek
I don't really ship them despite being a fujo myself, I guess I love Theresa too much but I'll def read fics that ship them anyway, it is for obvious reasons the most popular ship so I can't escape even if I tried.

Speaking of Tom Mckay, I was a bit weirded out the times other characters called Henry a kid, I mean, it makes sense he is supposed to be young, but I think Tom Mckay looked a bit old so everytime I heard 'kid' I was ???? Till I got used to it. It was a good casting choice anyway because he's got that doofus face that really works for Henry and makes him memorable and charming. Any other guy wouldn't be the same.

NONA MY BELOVED OMG

regarding Radzig and Martin the whole thing between them. why would Radzig keep an eye on Henry? i get at the beginning when he tells him to try the sword was unexpected but oh so in purpose, but he seems so uninterested in him, like he's just a thorn on his side (or a debt to Martin for cleaning up his mess). and then Henry becomes super useful and he gets used to that. also EVERYONE knew about Henry but Henry himself, he is like Radzig's juicy dirty little secret. Hope Henry follows Martin instead of Radzig, because I feel the former will betray him at the end.

Godwin… i love this lord of debauchery. his quest hit me like a truck. also it contains Henry's best line of the entire game ("where the fuck am I?")i was put off by the amount of vomit tho lol

Kuno and Radzig… i wish this quest was more involved. Henry is sent to watch over them, but he has this major character development were he becomes more… knightly to put it in simple words. he actually becomes a moral compass in this quest, particularly if you challenge Zoul alone, which was amazing (the group fight is so hard because Kuno's band will perish in an instant and then you'll have like 10 mid to high level bandits surrounding Henry). also, any decision you take might give you a "you donkey!" comment from Radzig, since you risked your life doing something you shouldn't. although the best put down is by Bernard in Neuhof.

nona, did you do Hans' DLC? if you enjoy seeing Henry making a fool of himself, you are in for a treat!

regarding Henry, and according to fans' calculations, he's supposed to be between 16 to 18 years old. Hans in 1403 is supposed to be 15, but with the amount of drinking, whoring and gambling i guess it's safe to think Hans is 17-18 and Henry 18, the devs made them older looking on purpose. i mean Tom doesn't look 42 (his current age), but he doesn't look 18 either. but i agree, he does a great job. he sounds and acts candidly, just like a village lad should (in fact he has many, many U WOT M8 moments that are a delight haha), and seeing Henry grow up (and his little expressions aw my heart just can't) is so satisfying. i just love him.

I did Hans dlc it was hilarious, but it felt like Hans was more of a donkey than Henry. That poetry book, I told him everything right and he said I fucked up kek I guess next time I will tell him whatever. He also got… handsomely red after drinking that weird potion, I just told him he was great because I was afraid he'd ask me to get more weird potions to fix it lol so he walked around with that nice face, soo much work for a girl he could've just asked out with some flowers or whatever but he decided to act like a redditor, it makes Henry look like some casanova. Does she even know how to read, I wonder? Hopefully not because no one deserves to read about battle tents in that context

In contrast it was super sweet how you can court Theresa, how she thanks for the gifts and sometimes asks if you like that she is wearing what you gave her, and the comment about how she could hear you coming from miles thanks to the heavy armor noise, she is perfect, I really like the little things, these little lines, wish more games did that.
Now Hans needs some lessons from a guy that didn't even think about courting the girl that saved him before Hanush suggested it, that's how bad Hans is at courting. Also I think it's funny how excited Henry sounds after the date "I need to invite her out again sometime" that sounds young…. and I did invite her again way too early and she told me to come back later kek she sounds more mature than Henry especially when he talks about marriage and she doesn't want to get attached to a guy that might not even stay with her, knowing he can meet other girls and change his mind, that was really sad, but of course she cares, she was so upset when she accused me of cheating. I liked how she puts up that very strong front but you can also see her insecurities and that she wants to be happy but is afraid of getting hurt, sometimes she sounds as excited as Henry and then she goes "we're not doing that, be realistic"
I think I have never liked a female character that is a romantic option for the male mc as I like Theresa, I am a bit ashamed to admit it, but many games have either perfect dolls or batshit insane women that aren't even interesting to see.

Did you keep Bianca's ring? I wore it everywhere under gloves because I was afraid of breaking it so when I had no gloves on I removed it as well outside the towns. We barely knew her, only Theresa's dlc gives more info on her but I am soft like that, by Theresa's pov they seemed very happy so I am glad I kept it

Back to Hans, When you talk to him after saving him from the cumans and he tells you to meet him in the bath house, I got there early cus I had nothing better to do and followed him into the room and stayed there until he kicked me out kek it's nice they have lines for that.

I fought Zoul with the group and about 4 of Kuno's men died, it's funny Henry goes "sorry about your men" and Kuno is just nonchalant "it happens". I wanted to reload but I had saved some time ago and did a lot of other sidequests in the meantime and did not want to do all of that again. I'll try something different this time around and also do it earlier.

ay nona, i'm glad you played Hans' DLC did you do the charlatan quest? my first time was a bit of a mess, as i didn't get to see the effects of the revenant in Ledechtko, (my second time it bugged out, the third time i completed it) and seeing good boy Henry learning how to bark like a dog just sent my sides to mars lol. btw, you can feel pity for Hans and give him some kind of remedy to alleviate the rash (something that seems to have extended to KCD2, Henry might have to nanny Hans around Kuttenberg). also, nona, which outcome did you get from the courting thing? the first time Kah-roh-lee-naaah (haha) rejected Hans and it was so funny with Henry trying to distract her father away outside. The 2nd and 3rd times he has the fastest touch and go in per-reinassance times ever, complete with Hanush (i love Hanush so much, why are the characters in this game so good?) cutscene at the end. and Hans' letter… pure poetry lol.

btw, Hans' IRL posts in reddit ("Lurk" Dale is pretty active in the KCD comms), so your dream of redditor Hans is pretty much a reality.

nona! i also loved courting Theresa and i wished i could do more things with her. the tiny little interactions they have. the other day she called my Henry "handsome", as i just had him had a bath and took his armor away for something more fancy. sometimes she cheers for him if he has won the tourney. she seems worried about him when he's out and about. Theresa, from her DLC and some other interactions, always loved Henry, but she knows Bianca is with him, so she's that third wheelin' friend, which is a bit sad, specially because Theressa's father hooked her up with Tobias! Feyfar! omg I SCREAMED when i realized who he was on my second playthrough.

and yes! i'm always wearing Bianca's ring, like the chad my Henry is. btw, if you take Tessa out after you find out about Radzig, you'll get some special interaction! and also, sweet baby boy Henry (sorry) talking about pancakes with honey and chicken drumsticks lol.


it's insane the amount of little interactions all the character have, including the NPCs. have you tried picking up a bandit corpse and walking around a guard? same thing for cumans, they have no right to have so many lines, in hungarian on top of everything! you can interact with all the world with different statuses (like being drunk, for example), and you'll get different results. no game has the right to be this detailed! KCD is such a delight.

I did that quest. It was so weird.
I found that dog before the guy asked me to learn how to bark, didn't know it was tied to a quest so when I heard that weird noise I started looking around the hell was that, and it took me some embarrassing time to figure it was coming from that dog. Then the actual barking was a bit hard because I kept messing up and accidentaly whistling. It was fun though.
Now the most annoying part was, despite my reputation, stealing the rosaries. And that fake blood potion, I had to listen to that dumb story a bunch of times and still got 1 herb wrong. Good thing I had a ton of them in a chest.


As for Hans, that girl rejected him (maybe that red face didn't help kek) and I had a talk with her dad outside that ended with me as a punching bag, he really ruined my fancy clothes. But then I don't feel bad, Hans was like Kuno losing his men "oh well it happens", why did I go through all that for then?

I did take Theresa out after Radzig, I hoped they'd talk about it and was glad they did, he tells her that with no buildup which I found funny but I guess there is no other way of throwing something like that on someone. And she is like "will you still be with me now", she keeps breaking my heart. I ain't no Radzig, girl. Who is the heartless bastard that takes the other choice?

I don't remember if people said anything about me being drunk which happened a lot until Johanka shamed me (and until I figured my game was lagging bad because of the alcoholic debuff), but they sure had a lot to say about me stinking. Went to buy something and the vendor was like "talk fast, you stink", well ma'am I just came back from another town without fast travel and everyone on the road wants to kill me, it's hard to stay clean. But then when you're all clean and with a nice armor you get sir knight from everyone.
Only the Rattay guards had a beef with me cus I stole the apothecary every time I went there, I guess they connected the dots, they got real aggressive and beelined for me as soon as I set foot in the town.
It's funny having high charisma, you can just bullshit your way out of prison, did it all the time they stopped me to search, one time I paid a fine though because I had no torch on kek, seems it's safer to steal stuff with a torch on because the guard saw me from God knows where and came running like a oblivion guard 'stop right there criminal scum!' All that for a torch, I got scared for a moment of being accused of the actual crimes I was commiting (trespassing, stealing, knocking people up to steal, pickpocketing), maybe he could smell me because there is no way that guard saw me in the dark. Also I just remembered a guard tried to arrest me once for "carrying around a dead body" only that guy wasn't dead, he passed out after a beating and while I was talking to the guard he got up and about his day kek
Oh I also got some comments about why I ain't in the monastery when I wear monk robes. I guess the guards need to ask that to the monk I stole it from, he was taking a stroll in the woods.

One unintentional funny thing is when you put money in the chest in Pribyslavitz, the guy just goes shocked "well, I've never!" Kek dude that is MY chest and MY (ok, maybe not really) money and you just told me to put money in there.

I see they are changing the punishment system in kcd2, now that looks fun and I'll definitely commit crimes (well to be fair I've never stopped) and be caught.

it's just me or Ledetchko is cursed af? Between the weird noises heard while playing chumps, to that dog and the Butcher's wife, i'm always mystified by the weird occurrences there. the revenant noises were absolutely hilarious tho, goddamn the charlatan with his nonsense with the fearless dudes there.

oh, picking up corpses! it happened to me by accident in Sasau after finishing the brawlers quest. grabbed one unconscious dude and the guards plus the bailiff were all over me and sent me 8! days! to jail! i have no idea how i didn't pass the speech check though. i'm sure i was over 15 that time. and woah, the new crime system looks hardcore. you can even get hanged (a feature that was cut from KCD1) for your crimes. seen Henry squirm and scream when he gets branded in that cutscene was hair raising! the Gamescom video shows Henry behaving badly around town, and he does have more nasty dialog options if he goes that route. he can even ogle women now lol. i guess the whole reputation system got an overhaul, while it's still pretty involved in KCD1, now you can look and behave like a total cunt if you want (also smell the part, given that in KCD1 carrying rotten food will make you repulsive to people lol)

and about nice clothes when Hans goes all like "you can grab some stuff from my crate" because he wants his bestie well dressed for his audience with his uncle lol. My 2nd Henry was already in plate and nice combat jupon when i took this quest, so Hans was all like "but you already look the part!" aww naww love them.

Once even Theresa told me I smell bad.

Hans never said that to me even though I had nice armor, now I wonder if it's all because of the food or the fact I tend to go swimming sometimes as a shortcut.
I guess no more bad food this time around, no more swimming.

I wish this didn't flop because now Marvel rivals is the only true overwatch alternative (Apex legends and valorant are great but they lean more on CS:GO). Western devs get shit on a lot for character designs but the female designs for marvel rivals have been so dissappointing. It's just the same body in different skins and it's even worse because the male characters have variety. The gameplay looks great but one thing overwatch was good at was making sure the female characters weren't just copypasted. I wish Sony/Concord tried harder with the designs or made it stylized

I'm trying to be a little better than I was in my first run but I guess my Henry was born to be a scummy criminal. I beat up those guys in Rattay and couldn't resist, I stole their stuff when they passed out. But I won't steal the apothecary anymore, or any shopkeepers. It is more fun stealing peoples houses than the vendors chests anyway. Right now most I've stole was food. I am stealing eggs everytime I see chickens in someones farm because Henry won't stop being hungry. I know it's a meme at this point but on normal difficulty I never had that problem, I always had more food than I could eat and ended up selling it, now I just don't have enough and have to buy food sometimes.

Rn I am in that hunting mission with Hans and the guy just ran in front of me as I was shooting a rabbit, scared the shit outta me (also made me miss the shot), I never saw him actually hunting in my first run. I legit thought they just teleported him somewhere and he'd come back when the time was up, good thing it's not the case. He is such a fool, and he's got 2 dogs, for what, he's not even using them lmao

This is just a scapegoat, the real reason Capcom hates modding is because they're still salty over the SFxT on-disk DLC fiasco from a decade ago.

Didn't find that cabin yet but I stumbled on the body of a witch between Neuhof and Rattay, and walking a bit from said findings in Rattay's direction I found a cabin with a dead man inside and a bunch of alcoholic beverages never saw that stuff in my first run. I guess I am paying more attention to my surroundings now instead of just blindly running to the objectives because now I am constantly afraid of getting lost in the woods. I am even afraid of sleeping. During Hans' quest I went to sleep in the camp and woke up in the Inn in the Glade beside the pigs. Good thing I woke up 1 hour before Hans and told Mutt to wait in the camp before sleeping, found the camp again in no time.
Can't open locks yet but I managed to get a bandit running from me with my bow. I was over encumbered and couldn't run after him, not even Mutt managed to get him so I just released an arrow in his general direction, he was even behind some bushes but then I see my skills level up and the guy is dead with 1 shot. I am feeling like the greatest archer of Bohemia. Maybe stealing is not all there is after all, maybe I could be a good person this time around and focus on my archery skill instead of wasting my days observing the routine of randos on the intent of breaking into their homes. Martin wouldn't've wanted a Fritz for a son.

When I was going back to Neuhof after ginger in a pickle I saw a bunch of cumans fighting bandits. The bandits lost I'm guessing, I looted about 3 or 4 bandit bodies and 1 cuman while the fight went deeper into the woods. They didn't see me and I have a lot of money now to eat like a king kek no more boiled eggs and carrots.
I also met some lost trader asking for directions to Uzhitz. I suppose I gave him the right directions because I gained some reputation, funnily enough he then went in the opposite direction.

That quest is really good, but the aftermath, uh, Stephanie keep your hands away from my boy!

nona, the bow is so satisfying. In my first two runs I hated the thing, Henry is terrible with it, his/my aim is shit, but now that I have the Master Huntsman perk, plus used the thing a lot, I'm level 12 in my 3rd run. After level 10 I noticed that it zooms in a little bit, and Henry's arm is so stable that I know where I'm supposed to put the arrow. It feels so natural! But I'm still a sucker for regular combat, it's so much fun. I just beat everything down and steal their carrots lol. Cumans always carry cured meats and such, and now I'm always over encumbered with the goddamn cheeseboard I carry in my inventory lol. I wish I could feed Mutt bread and apples, but no, the beast only eats meat, boo.

Lately I'm hooked on watching KCD2 trailers and such, it looks fantastic. And even if it doesn't, I just can't wait to follow up with the story. From what I gather I think the whole "Henry reset" thing is because Hans got them into trouble. Not in a battle, but because the idiot took the other idiot for a swim, and they got ambushed. There's this bit in the gameplay videos where they are escaping in their underwear and Henry is noticeably wounded, while Hans is fresh as a daisy the mf.. The whole yarn ball of loose ends has me on the floor, oof.

The point of early access is to fund development. The game may be unplayable or almost done. It's not really scummy. It's pretty clear what it is. Get it if you like a game and want to support its development. However, most developers understand how players see it (even if it's incorrect) and won't do early access till the game is basically done, which mostly defeats the purpose and instead makes early access mostly a way of releasing a game twice, for no reason.

Also maybe I'm just retarded at synthesis but a lot of items feel a lot weaker in this game for some reason. I think the synthesis system itself is neat though.

It's a first-person horror game about the crew of a cargo spaceship who become stranded after crashing into an asteroid. They find out that the cargo they were carrying was just hundreds of boxes of mouthwash and so they start drinking it to pass the time and drown their sorrows. It sounds like a comedic premise, but it's creepy and twisted. The dialogue and storytelling are great, and the characters are great, too. There's way more to it than just the basic premise but I don't want to spoil the story too much.

Hi nonas, I hate to ask but I'm looking for some recommendations. I'd love a game with good replay value or I can easily get immersed in and kill a lot of time (1000s of hours I mean). Some examples I previously enjoyed are Minecraft, Stardew Valley, ACNH, TS4. They do not have to be stylistically similar, since I'm aware my taste isn't as varied as it could be. One of my only turn offs in a game is too much dialogue/reading. If you have a game in mind but you're unsure if it's what I'm after, post it anyways, I could use a little shaking up. As for consoles, I play on Switch, PS5, PC and Mobile. Thank you in advance!

There are lots of games trying to be stardew, just check if any of them have a style you like. I enjoyed Fields of Mistria recently, just like my first time playing stardew I couldn't put it down. The only issue is that it only has actual content for around 30 hours right now. After that it's still fun to finish up previous requests or the museum, but I'm waiting for an update now because I don't have that much time to kill and I want a goal and character interaction. There is a lot to do in the game though, you can get seasonal insects and fish, there are breeding mechanics that allow you to get animals in pretty colors, the furniture you can collect on weekends is actually cute, if you get the shop upgrade late you'll still have new seed types to try in the second year, and depending on the way you go through the mines there will be a lot left to mine/collect once you reach the current end point. Highly recommended, but maybe wait until it's out of early access if you want a longer experience/also need a big goal to guide or motivate you.

I second that >>421879 You can start with just Rebirth and then buy the dlcs if you want. It has lots of good mods so even if you get 100% after hundreds of hours there is still a lot of potential content and there is no dialogue at all.
Balatro is also easy to sink a lot of time in if you prefer something without combat. It's very random though (unless you ponder over every move you make for 5 mins, then almost every run is winnable).
I can also recommend Oxygen Not Included if you want more of a management type of game. It has a super cute artstyle, but an incredible depth.
If you want to be extremely casual the Bloons Tower Defense games could be worth checking out too.

The VA does come off as amateur to me, the awkwardness of the original voice acting had a kind of charm to it that I don't feel here. I like the environments but I hate the over-rendered 4K Super HD look of the character models. James looks like a gamestop manager wearing a cheap aliexpress cosplay of himself, and I think it was a mistake to make Angela look younger in the first place, but they way overcorrected and now she looks twelve. The updates to the gameplay look interesting at least, even though it feels a little TLOU esque. Overall bland, but I do hope it gets more people to play the original series. Was there anything that stood out to you at all? Good or bad

So Nintendo's been cracking down hard on piracy the past few weeks. I guess the switch 2 announcement is right around the corner, especially given that ryujinx (the successor to switch emulation after yuzu died) has just shut down. Nintendo's also suing a guy that sold modded switches (he's also a retard because he's using no lawyer).

This game is fucking amazing. I played it for nearly 10 hours straight yesterday. I still retain some muscle memory from BT3 thank god the controls are the same. Gameplay-wise I have a couple complaints, first being that the sonic sway is weird compared to BT3 and it doesn't always trigger on tap, seems like a long press has better chances of triggering it, I think maybe it changed to being triggered only during certain frames reduced from BT3. Second complaint is that defensive vanishing became really easy to do, they clearly extended the window in which you can vanish from an opponent's attack so good players can continue to vanish and counter-vanish for fucking ages (and this already happened in BT3 when it's way harder), huge waste of time, devs need to do something to avoid infinite counter-vanishes. Third is that Z-Counter (renamed to super counter for some reason and now Z-counter is what used to be defensive vanishing) became way too hard, easily the hardest defensive maneuver in this game when it was relatively easy to perform in BT3. Besides this, gameplay is really really good and almost the same as BT3. My other complaint is that clearly they're gonna milk the fuck out of this with DLCs because they didn't include some characters from previous games, but the fact that for example you can't transform into oozaru with kid Goku makes me seethe, I wonder if they're planning a big monkey DLC or some retarded shit like that. They also reduced the costumes for the characters, probably gonna add them in more DLC. At this point I think I will just wait for mods, too much content cut off with clear intent of becoming DLC crap, but at least the base game is big enough to enjoy as is for some time. Online play is good, the servers are pretty decent so far unlike other Bandai gaymes like the Nurutu Storm series which are absolute dogshit, and I'm really really thankful for that. Rarely I felt input lag during online play. A thing to note is that definitely the characters are unbalanced (devs did admit this as this game is supposed to be FUN and not competitive like FighterZ), at least I've spotted a couple that are absolutely cancer like Broly Legendary Super Saiyan, Gogetta SSJ4 and Vegito SSJ2. I've been gitting gud playing only kid Goku who is dogshit and underpowered and I've whoop'd ass of every character I've encountered except these which I found have been pretty hard due to the increased health bar, general speed, unblockable ultimates and power ups they possess. I think that besides these characters I mentioned, even a dogshit unpowered character can still compete fairly against the rest of the roster. I had a really fun fight kid Goku vs GT smol Goku and won 2 to 1, so online can definitely be fun, you just gotta deal with all the retarded rat kids salivating over Broly and Vegito and Gogetta. I haven't tried story mode yet but it looks fun too, and the ability to have what-if battles with adjustable conditions is just gold, definitely gonna play with that later and RP my retarded fighting fantasies. Anyway, easily 11/10 I am cum with this game.

AYRT, some of the facial expressions on the character models look really bad during the cutscenes. I agree with you about Angela's new design, I like that she looked older then her age. Hopefully this doesn't make me sound like a moid, but I hate Maria's new outfit. the OG is so iconic and the new one is just bland.

But I really like the banter Maria has with James and her general mannerisms. I lovedddddd the abstract daddy boss fight the imagery of you running down the hall and being trapped by him before stumbling into Angela's bedroom made me pause at multiple points to take it all in. glad they kept the piston room because at first i was pissed because I thought they took it out

Overall I like it for what it is. It will never top the original for me. The limitations of the graphics, uncanny VA, CGI cutscenes, make that game feel like you're in a dissociative nightmare, while this one just feels like a game.

I'm a huge fan of the original 4 games, I had little to no expectations with this one, I actually went in quite pessimistic. Aside from some performance issues, I was pleasantly surprised. I changed my mind on Maria's design, I'm ok with their change, and the scene where she finds her old outfit is a nice touch. Some of the unreal metahuman weirdness is a bit off putting, especially in Angela. Honestly, given how Konami dealt with previous games with other studios, this was the best one, so kudos to bloober to pulling this off. I think they captured the whole thing really well while also addind extra details, which is a hard thing to do in all honesty.

ayrt and as far as combat goes, for the dusk trilogy at least, is pretty simple. You'll have stuff like support attacks or moving around the battlefield but nothing crazy. You should be fine so long as you make decent items and equipment as you play. I'd recommend playing Ayesha or Escha&Logy before playing Shallie though. Atelier games are pretty standalone titles but the dusk trilogy does sort of have an overarching story to it if you care about that stuff.

Finally, people I can sperg to about my weird obsession I had with this game. Drakengard 3 was my first Drakengard game since I had a ps3 but not a ps2 (or anything capable of emulating it at the time lol) I was always fascinated by the concepts in this game and enjoyed the characters. The intoners as a concept is so cool to me and I LOVED that the music would change when entering intoner mode. Especially when you did during boss fights. Also enjoyed Zero's merry band of retards and found them entertaining.
>>423027
I was also surprised to hear people thought the gameplay for 3 was bad. Obviously it's not the greatest, but it was good enough to have fun with imo.

So there is 6 Goddesses called Intoners who rule the land named Zero through Five. Each one takes a male disciple who they bang for fun, vent frustration or boredom.

Nta but in drakengard 3, all of the protagonist's sisters have a disciple. Their main role is for summoning the sisters demons (it's been a hot minute since I've delved into drakengard lore, so I may be misremembering a bit) But of course, the sisters have "needs", hence the sex slave part. Although I'd say only one of the sisters actually treats her disciple like that, hell I'm pretty sure one of the sisters is a virgin cause she refuses to outright tell her disciple she that she wants him. And yes, the protagonist does fuck the disciples. It's only referenced and talked about a few times though. Picrel is Five's disciple and this sadistic bastard is the first one that joins you on your quest to kill your sisters.

I also just finished it based on your rec, thank you nona for sharing an interesting game ITT. I found it interesting but mostly okay, and I'm usually a scaredy cat who gets easily frightened by horror games. Spoiler territory I immediately figured out the "big twist" as soon as the game gave us the information that 3 adult men were stuck on a ship in the middle of space with one woman. It was sadly obvious what was probably going on. The allegorical horror segments were okay but less scary than the reality of their situation. Wish the game had spent more time exploring their dynamic before and after the crash instead of Jimmy's own delusions, as the former had the potential to be much scarier than the latter in my opinion. I think when it comes to horror games once you know you're exploring a delusion the atmospherical scare factor goes down significantly and all that's left for the game to do is to use jumpscares to scare you; the scariest thing in a horror game is not understanding what is going on. I enjoyed it for its aesthetic and for trying to be something new, but as a long time lover of "small group of people trapped together for long periods of time losing their grip on sanity" type of stories the writing could have been a lot better.

How blind and retarded do you have to be to parrot incel rhetoric and not realize the trap you're setting for yourself? Kek at her repeating the media literacy argument, while completely failing to have any during this whole video. It's always the same examples, same rhetoric. It's so glaringly obvious she's repeating things she read around. I can pinpoint which Twitter and reddit posts she pulled her arguments from. If you're going to post your face on a video, at least make one single original argument for yourself. I can only hope handmaidens wake up one day.

Double suicide is pretty popular in Japanese culture (as in books, stories, manga, anime, lol) and romanticized plenty as sort of a beautiful tragedy, but I've only seen murder-suicide used as horrifying twist on double suicide.

The dusk trilogy is probably your best bet,Ayesha doesn't have anything really coomery aside from mentioning boobs once or twice IIRC. I don't remember if there was boob physics in that game but the later two games definitely have it for the more "well-endowed" characters. There's two characters, maybe three, that I can think of that have big boobs with physics in the whole trilogy and they're all pretty modest in design. There's also optional swimsuits of course but again, they're optional outfits. In general the games try to be more cutesy than anything, but I dont know if that'll set off your coom alarm or not. I'd highly suggest giving Ayesha a shot at least.

Not currently interested since it's pretty much just a cash grab to attempt to get back fans of the first game since it's the most popular and still has a fan base (only problem is that the new writers wrote out their favorite blueberry bpd lesbian so they're unhappy). I might check it out when it finishes. I was more interested in Lost Records: bloom and rage since it actually seem to be trying a more experimental approach to dialog choices and the characters seem likeable though from the preview gameplay something about their lip syncing looks off.

unfortunately there isn't really any sort of trick to the final boss, you just kind of run around like a headless chicken so the homing attacks don't get you while struggling with the eyestaff. it doesn't take that many hits to kill her (I was only playing on normal though). when i played it the attack where she lifts you up close to her and then throws you knocked me onto her platform which made her a bit easier to hit, but i don't think there's any way to force that to happen.

Looking for game recs, preferably anime-styled, with heavy exploration elements. Games I can think of that satisfy this itch are Genshin (but frankly, I'm just not interested in a live service gacha game), Pokemon Arceus, and Ys 8/9. I like the feeling of "filling in" the map, and some sense of verticality and minor puzzle solving is also necessary.

i feel the same way nona, really looking forward to bloom and rage. the mechanics look fun and unique and immersive, i'm excited to play with the camcorder. being made by the original studio i have real hope it will capture that special energy and vibe of the first game. i loved the music, colouring, little storytelling details, being able to take calm moments to just sit and exist in the atmosphere while max contemplates… double exposure i was highly cynical and unsure of, but lost records has me incredibly excited.

kek nona, i just discovered this. i was probably not going to buy the game for it being a soulless cash grab that transplants max into a story not suited to her, but i was still tempted. i peaked a playthrough and first minute is the option to be warned of transphobic content in game. that of all the red flags finally convinced me to write off this game. i mean nonas… it's one of those "lesbian" male ones…

In the second Life is Strange game, there's that female hippie lady you meet working at the pot farm in the forest. You guys all eventually escape, and she starts putting the moves on Sean (who's 16 at the time). She eventually can pressure him into having sex with her (and afterwards, Sean has a really broken-looking expression on his face). Also you meet that fat neckbeard "journalist" guy in the gas station, and in front of Sean and Daniel, he's looking at porn.

Got Sifu free on PS+ a while back so tried it out. Looks nice, and you can play as a woman too. But there's not just parrying but memorizing combos as well, so I probably won't beat it before my current sub runs out.

At least I realized that Control has built in cheat features so I could put on infinite life and one shot and easily get those last couple grindy trophies.

My rookie, had to remake him since the first twink I made looked like a Pixar lesbian. This art style is truly atrocious and as soon as you get out of the CC Rook has a perma DreamWorks smirk that makes them look retarded. Every other NPC looks old as fuck and is weirdly animated.

Is there any criticism/analysis video on the artstyle that isn't some asshole dude reeing about "ugly feminists ruining games". Until now I had only seen flexing screenshots from women who had spent half a day on the character creator to create some supermodel Rook.

I'm playing Ruiner rn and it's really nice. Died tons of times to Mother and to the fucking Angels because I was always getting stuck in a wall or falling out of the map (technically I didn't die by falling out of the map but had to restart the mission so it was annoying that it happened 5 times in a single area) and getting my ass exploded by common henchman and I am not even going to talk about the traps I always fall for kek "this is painful to watch" it is also painful to listen to that for the 10th time, stop talking girl, I know what I am doing. Everyone is a critic.
Then there was some asshole, forgot his name, not much of a big deal because I died more thanks to the Vampires, the guy died so fast when I wasn't paying attention to him.

Are you playing the game? It's communicated less from static screenshots where everyone is doing the blue steel supermodel face but as soon as there's motion all the characters immediately look like that putty-like Pixar DreamWorks animation style. The way their mouths and faces move makes the game look like a cheap and melty autorig 3D asset kids show only with better lightning.

not really. in the very first section of the game rachel is said to have slept with her male teacher… she was never for a second written to be understood as pure or even really implied to be gay in the first game. the reveal was to show not even chloe knew rachel as well as she thought, and rachel involved herself with dodgy characters likely in hopes of being able to use them to escape arcadia bay. i agree the french are weirdos with what they consider acceptable age gaps and all the characters in the first game are 18/19 iirc so the developers probably didn't see it as purely rachel being groomed and she to some extent was trying to manipulate/use them. the story is pretty clear that these older men are dangerous to these teen girls tho.

So im watching the new life is strange game. I'm not done yet but holy shit it's like gwen the trans character's voice keeps getting deeper and deeper. Kek, he looks/acts like he belongs in a whole different game. Like a Deadly Premonition character or something. In fact he's the only fucking person with some personality so far thats not "Quirky student" because he comes off so creepy and ready to crack. I just got to a point where he's screaming.Also Max is supposed to be like 28 right? She acts the exact same way, some of the outfits you pick aren't "Quirky 28 year old" but stunted woman stuck in high school. I was shocked that she was that old, even the other older characters come off very childish.I get her character trait is being awkward but seriously. I will say it's very brave to give a trans that voice, but maybe it's apart of the story?It's jarring everyone has these boring ass voices and in comes this motherfucker. kek.

I'm maybe 3 or 4 hours into this game, and it has really made me realize the state of indie development. The game is fine, so far it's been delivering exactly what it's promised and is super cozy. But I keep waiting for it to suddenly go dark, have disturbing plot twists or whatever else a developer could think of to make their game "subversive". I didn't really previously mind the cute-game-is-actually-dark genre, but I'm kinda finding the thought of not being able to tell if a game is for kids or not without doing research quite grim.
Anyway, if you are looking for something cute to play that isn't very challenging, I really recommend this.

Anyone playing Elin? It's the sequel to an old freeware roguelite/sandbox life-sim game called Elona. It's got a lot of basebuilding gameplay along side dungeon crawling. There's so much depth to the both games, you can play them for hundreds of hours.
Elin is on Steam for about 20 euro, so if that sounds too steep of a price you can try out the original free Elona but it can be a bit janky to play since it only has keyboard controls and Elin is a lot more beginner friendly with the amount of tutorials it has in-game.
In this screenshot, I died by forgetting I had a skill for the succubus class equipped (makes npcs fall asleep so you can drain their stats instead of my weapon), so I died from becoming minus stamina… it was a really dumb mistake.

I finished Deus Ex and I went with Tracer Tong's ending because he was my dead brother's bestie and the other two powers were annoying. I understand the ramifications of destroying Area 51 but merging with Helios is like a crack dream; JC Denton may be well-meaning but you can see he's pretty naive the entire game, so his visions for the world would be equally naive. Would he not have internal conflict with Helios once merged? I don't know. And I didn't want to give power to the Illuminati again, their entire motive for stopping the destruction of the global network was 'muh economy'
Halting gobalism and going back to a 'dark age' (debatable) would at least prevent another globalist authoritative uprising for the next hundreds of years instead of merging with AI and perpetuating it or reinstalling the Illuminati and waiting for another rogue despot to break off and use the Illuminati's already powerful global infrastructure to rise to power like what literally happened in the game.

If you don't go out the window Paul survives you know.
The sequel just mashes all 3 endings together in a stupid way so it doesn't really matter. I really hate when sequels invalidate multiple endings like that.
Dark Age is worst ending, and I don't like the idea of Helios taking over JC's mind. So Illuminati, the only two alive are Stanton who has no real power and owes you a debt and Everett doesn't seem megalomanical. They only need to work together long enough to rebuild and stabilize, not forever.

Dropping Mass Effect Andromeda. I'm only 3 hours in but it's pretty boring so far. The combat isn't holding my attention, I heard it was really good but it doesn't feel good to play. I might continue if I liked other things about the game but it's just not working for me. I got it really cheap so at least I didn't spend a lot. I think my main reason for not being into the story is not liking Ryder. Her default look has crazy eyes and I can't make a custom Ryder that doesn't look like a goofy baby. Her voice actress also sounds really young and when you pair that with her looking like a goofy baby I'm just not connecting with her as a protagonist because she feels like a teenager to me.

I might continue if someone can give me a compelling reason.
