I try not to get my hopes up, but if From Software ever blesses us with Bloodborne Part 2, I'll spontaneously produce enough milk to nourish every orphaned baby on Earth. We need more cool-ass female hunters in this world, and less GRRM.

I don't really think they would make Bloodborne 2 (sadly) But I fucking love bloodborne. They've made the old hunters dlc at least but I don't know what else there is left to the story. Perhaps continuing the ending choice where you become the new great one?

I’m tentatively hopeful that Elden Ring will be good but god why the fuck did they get him on board? I hope he’s only there to give guidance on the Nordic themes and not as a full on writer because I’ve grown to like Dark Souls’ style of storytelling. I don’t want some convoluted plot shit or character drama getting in the way of my sweet, lonely dark fantasy atmosphere.
Tbh my dream would be a game like DS’s setting but with more allowance in multiplayer without turning a game into MMO stat grind/gear trade cancer. Still no chat - I just want to gesture around with strangers to find things to kill together then the ability to sit down in chairs and eat with them afterwards. Maximum comfy.

Also I’m trying to craft a 1/12 cloak like Eileen’s to go on my dolls, it’s only at the drawing board right now but I’m planning to articulate it with wire and use feathers from… somewhere.

I'm picturing it being like Dark Souls where they just made sequels with a very similar storyline but with different settings and (mostly) different characters. From could just make the same game over and over again from here on out and I'd keep buying/playing it, because the Soulsborne formula is perfection for me.

I am so stocked to see my fave tragic love story play out in gorgeous graphics that I have decided to replay FFVII. I am at Gongaga already and I am relieved to find out this game is not as hard as I remembered, which is good as I don't really enjoy the random encounters. I goddamn love the plot and all the characters.
It's a really smart decision to drop Compilation and make it non-canon to the remake (hope they will not screw it up, but since Square has admitted that the Compilation was a cash grab due to a merge with Enix, I am being relucantly optimistic).

Same!
Judging by the new trailer and various quotes and hearsay, I think we will get to spend a lot of quality time with Aerith before her time comes. Everyone and their mother knows she is gonna get murdered by Sephiroth, so they cannot just shock us that it happens. SquareEnix is gonna try their best to make people love her so that their hearts are as broken as Cloud's once it happens.
Looking forward to crying my eyes out.

I wonder how will they deal with her death since it was surprisingly nongraphic in the original. You can't avoid some amount of blood now due to how realistic the graphics are. I hope it will not ruin the mood of the scene.

The newer Harvest Moon installments are not by the original publisher Marvelous Entertainment, but by Natsume who used to localize them. In the West, Harvest Moon now goes by the name "Story of Seasons". If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing and cute farming game, you should try the Story of Seasons games for the DS. They were all really well done with nice designs. Natsume still releases games under the name of "Harvest Moon", but they indeed are looking very, very bad.

There will also be a remake of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town for the Switch soon! I am really excited for it and I will get the Switch just for this and Animal Crossing.

I've been playing Judgment / Judge Eyes lately. Compared to the Yakuza games, which this game takes place in the same city, Judgment is more slower paced and I like that a lot. I played the demo months ago and it was long as hell. Took like 3 hours to complete. I really like the change of pace, because I've had multiple instances in the Yakuza games where I felt rushed going from story point to story point, they made it seem like I had no time to wind down and relax.

What's the best JRPG to play to dip my toes into the genre? I always avoided JRPGs since they never really appealed to me and looked pretty boring, but people always hype them up and I want to give at least one game a fair chance since the closest I've come to playing a JRPG is Pokemon, lmao. Dragon Quest XI looks cool and I like the graphics but I'm not sure if it would be good for a complete beginner to the genre. The Persona games also interest me especially with how much praise they get but they kind of overwhelm me and again, not sure if it's the best choice for a newbie. I just don't want something grindy that feels like a chore instead of fun.
I have a PS4, PC, 3DS, and Switch, although right now I only have access to the last two. What do you anons think? Any recommendations or tips for a newcomer to the genre?

If you don't mind GBA graphics, play Mother 3. It's not the most typical, but it's fucking great and doesn't have enemy battles out of nowhere (you see the enemies on the screen and can avoid them).

Persona 5 is amazing. Im pretty new to JRPGs too but loved persona. Playing the previous games isn’t necessary, though I’m sure there’s references I missed. You can’t do everything your first play through either so it’s actually fun to play a second time.
I’ve also played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and enjoyed it, despite not usually liking open world games and preferring turn based combat. Just be warned, it’s centered around that whole “big tiddy anime girl” shit lmao the story is decent otherwise.
Kingdom hearts is good too but the story is a mess. Like I played 1 and 2, but still don’t understand shit in 3 because apparently all the side games count as ~vital story~.

It depends on how much time your ready to play a game to complete it. Pokemon is good because it's easy and not too long but there are so many things you can do that you can potentially spend hundreds of hours. Final Fantasy is a famous series, the most popular ones are the PS1 games but FF6 is also very popular. They're not "too" long to complete from what I've been told, bu then again I only played FF1 to FF4 so far. Fans always fight each other on whether the recent games are good or trash. I played Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates and liked both, but they're more like tactical RPGs and Fates as several routes, including one that's way more difficult than the others (Conquest). Once I get around the GBA games I'll tell you if they're good or not for beginners.

I like the SMT franchise a lot, I would say Persona 3 to 5 are good for beginners and not too difficlt once you get used to the gameplay. For the main series I'd say SMT4 on the 3DS is one of my favorite games ever and it's also a good entry point to get into SMT but it's pretty hard, especially at the beginning, and it's long, it took me a bit more than 70h to complete my first playthrough. Overall SMT is like Pokemon because almost all the enemies you face can become a playable character so you can customize your party as you wish. Again about P5 since one anon recommended it, the game is long. I never played a Dragon Quest game, a friend said the series is great but not why they're great.

Ugh I want more news about Elden Ring to come out, the silence bores me.

I like fantasy, I don’t want this to turn out bad but the trailer gave me weird vibes about the tone of the game.

FromSoft also declined a documentary with NoClip which is really disappointing because I want to know more about them and their practices but I guess they want to be secretive.

I couldn't play Nocturne all that much when I bought it a few years ago because my PS2 was broken and scratched all my games, but I'll play it very soon.

>>41524
>SMT4 only took me 45hrs
I feel like I could have done that but I spent like one third of my time doing almost all the side-quests, including getting the black card, fusing demons and trying to unlock the neutral route. I redid the Kenji fight way too many times but I was locked in the law route no matter what so I'm sure I spent even more time than that on my first playthrough. I'm still salty I never managed to unlock the neutral route because I hated killing Isabeau but right now I'm about to beat the final boss of SMT4 Apocalypse so I don't really feel like going back to SMT4 now.

JRPGs fall under an incredibly large umbrella. I would suggest Kingdom Hearts or Castlevania Symphony of the Night.
Dealing with tedious and complicated menus popping up every now and then are also something I don't like, but Vagrant Story was interesting enough for me, although you probably wouldn't want to play it until you're way more into JRPGS.
I'm also not a big fan of turn-based RPGs, but a few of them like Yokai Watch are entertaining enough for me to push that aside.
Some other JRPGs I also liked are Secret of Mana, Phantasy Star Online, and Chrono Trigger.

It's a story-rich puzzle game for the most part! It's a refreshing depart from usual rpg maker games because there is no combat! It has comedy, feels, and spooky. I especially love the way I can tell it was written by a woman and made with so much love. It's unfortunate that some people may think that makes it boring. About 12 hrs of game play. It's an experience and I honestly feel bad for those who refuse to give this genre a chance.

I hate it when people shit on some games in a series because "it's bad because there's (actually optional) fanservice, you play as a self insert and you can date some of the characters!", then praise other games in the same franchise because "the art is pretty, the music is pretty and the story is good" when these games are actually not that much better in these aspects and the gameplay and level design are so much worse than the games that supposedly have too much fanservice. You'd think they were reviewing visual novels but no.

When you talk about things you dislike in games with the exact same people such as excessive DLCs, loot boxes and similar practices, different versions or routes of the same game in different cartridges or the fact that some games are released a year later outside of Japan because of botched localisations, or games you can only really play online for no valid reason they don't say anything because it turns out they don't even play video games, they just watch playthroughs on youtube. Yes it's about pic related but not only. I'm glad I bought a brand new copy for only 25€ because it's disappointing so far and people wouldn't stop praising this game and its shitty boring maps literally just because there's less fanservice than the previous games.

I've been playing FE Three Houses all the weekend and while I don't fully understand the teaching system, the whole castle thing turned out to be more fun than I expected. There's also more options for lesbian romance. The story is a bit darker specially after the timeskip and it's way more believable than Fates drama. At least the Blue Lions route has some fucked up shit.
So far the only thing I regret is not having enough time to keep playing.

Hard to answer but really for me is either Earthbound, Final Fantasy 9 (and X) or Chronno Triggered.

Dragon Quest is kinda the default jrpg franchise, it features all the stereotypes of the genre and always stays the same when it comes to themes and setting so is very newcomer friendly.


Jarpig is a genre i played a ton but i have actually beaten very few games. I was insane about them growing up in the psx era but looking back, most were not that great. I think if you want to know what the hype for the genre was about just play any classic Final Fantasy game. ( I kinda don't like them after X but loved them all from 6 to X)

I really enjoy games where you can pick your gender and your name, even if they don't have a lot of customization. I find them kind of feminist, as they don't usually change your interactions with the story or characters based on your gender (aside from minor things). That's because it would be a pain in the ass for programmers to do so lol. Consequently, the games usually end up being neutral on your gender and NPCs don't say sexist shit or judge your actions.

Any recommendations? I'll give mine:

— Games with customization I've enjoyed:
+ Pokémon franchise [Nintendo].
+ Rune Factory 4 (you only choose your gender and name) [Nintendo 3DS/Switch].
+ Animal Crossing franchise [Nintendo].
+ Stardew Valley [PC].
+ The Sims 3 [PC].
+ Fantasy Life [Nintendo 3DS].
+ Final Fantasy Chronicles: Echoes of Time (sequel, you only choose your race, gender and name)[Nintendo DS]
+ The Urbz [Nintendo].
+ Age of Wonders III (don't know about the prequels, but you can customize your avatar, the game is nice and cheap on instant gaming but I haven't played a lot) [PC].

— Games with customization that I've played but bored me/weren't appealing:
- God Eater franchise (didn't appeal to me, too much weebness but eh, you can find good discounts on instant gaming right now)[PC/Playstation/other platforms].
- Dragon Quest IX [Nintendo DS].
- Harvest Moon franchise [Nintendo].
- MMORPGS (I liked Aura Kingdom and Maplestory 2, but I always end up quitting these types of games) [PC/Android].
- Staxel (bought it when it had a huge discount on instan gaming, haven't really played it lol) [PC].

— Games with customization that I haven't played yet:
. Fire Emblem franchise (I would like to play the newest games, but they cost tons of money and I'm not paying that for something I don't know if I would enjoy) [Nintendo].
. Monster Hunter Stories (cheaper on Android, I may buy it in the future) [Nintendo/Android].
. Assasin's Creed Odyssey (I already have the game) [Playstation].
. Secrets of Grindea (waiting for it to be finished) [PC].
. My Time at Portia (waiting for a good discount) [PC].

I don't remember more games. It would be nice to hear your recommendations, anons, any videogame genre is welcome as long as you can choose the gender and name of your character!

If you have a 3DS you can get a demo to try FE Awakening a little. Fates' gameplay is similar but a bit more balanced because in FE Awakening some classes are way to OP compared to others. Three Houses' gameplay is different and there's no demo as far as I know unfortunately and while you can't customize the main characters in FE Echoes because they're remakes of FE2 there's a male main character and a female main character. I don't think I can recommend FE Echoes to anyone though, I found it boring at best and annoying most of the time because of the witches and the cantor maps. I also never played any Monster Hunter except a demo on the 3DS, I have no idea how different each game is but you should try demos and see how you feel it. I like some of the games you already cited, I think maybe you should try Sword of Mana and Magical Starsign if you like JRPGs. There's also Persona 3 Portable, both main characters are different so you have different dialogues with the female MC but I liked her a lot. There are other games where the main character is a woman but you can't customize her so not sure if that counts.

Anyway this reminds me of an old article in a Minnie Mag (before it became Witch Mag) from the early 2000 I think, it was saying that video games weren't just for boys and they can be fun and it cited a bunch of recommendations with female protagonists, playable characters and cute characters in general like Resident Evil, Street Fighters, Pokemon Red/Blue because of the cute pokemon and the female NPCs/trainers, Final Fantasy, the legend of Zelda, etc. This is making me feel nostalgic.

So i am playing Chronno Trigger for the first time and after all the years of hearing the game being hyped as one of the best jarpigs ever i gotta say, it does hold up, its great. (I left it just entering the sky city)

I really like the female characters in it, yeah sure, i can nitpick that two of them have "kiss" "charm" allure" in their skill list but they are over all cute and strong and Lucca is smart and the best, they are not just cosmetic but really good party members in battle. and also i kinda want a Froggy plushie now.

i would def try out awakening as the other anon said. stay away from fates, the story is really, really bad, and i can only tell you that should you really like how awakening plays MAYBE consider conquest for the gameplay, but sure as hell don't buy it for the story. awakening has more customization as well. there's also new mystery of the emblem (FE12) with a character you can name and change, but maybe it's not the best starting point. same for echoes, but it doesn't have customization.

Second for the Elder Scrolls series. I’ve only played Skyrim but I know the rest treats your protagonist similarly. They are also very mod friendly so you can customise everything about your character (read: not be ugly, lol). You can be gay and marry another female character and no one ever comments on it but that’s mostly because there’s 0 dialogue about marriage outside of the quest for it rather than worldbuilding.

There is also the Dark Souls series, "gender has no bearing on ability", it says in the menus. No male gaze shit or that fantasy crap where women are mistreated because it’s "realistic and gritty" to make it "dark". They’re a solid trilogy of games with online aspects but nothing like an MMO.

If you didnt like Harvest Moon, what’s different about it vs Stardew Valley?

Phantasy Star Online is good! It's an MMORPG, the first game isn't online anymore, but there's fan servers that are still pretty active to this day. The second game is still alive and well after 7-ish years of release, even officially coming out to release in English in 2020.

If you have a PSVita, I highly recommend playing Phantasy Star Nova, it uses the same engine as PSO2, but completely available to play without internet connection. It also has it's own fan translation, which is fairly easy to patch if you already have your Vita homebrewed.
I honestly like Nova a bit more than the Online 2 counterpart, which is what it's heavily based off of. The first reason is, because it's offline. The second reason is because this series features a lot of women as leaders. The main ship that's being piloted has a female captain. Also, you can customize how your camp area looks. If you want all women running the shops, go for it, a lot of the women have great buffs compared to the men if you want them to tag along with you during your quest.

If anything if anon will like Awakening she should play FE Fates Birthright because of how similar it is since you can do some level grinding if needed and the story is just as straight forward. Conquest is great but it's more challenging.

Basically if you care about story a lot Fates isn't all that great, especially with the shitty Americanized localisation. But if she cares more about gameplay she may like Fates just as much as, or more than Awakening. Both are good and similar enough tbh. We'll just pretend Revelation and its shitty maps and underleveled characters doesn't exist.

I could recommend SMT games if you like RPGs, which are mostly remakes and two very good original games, Fire Emblem and Ace Attorney.

You said you like Pokemon, and SMT is sort of similar, it's a JRPG series you can "recruit" enemies in your party whenever you want and just customize your party in general. SMT games that are remakes are:
>devil survivor overclocked
>devil survivor 2 record breaker (both are tactical RPGs)
>SMT strange journey redux
>soul hackers (this one was a game from the 90s and it's a bit dated but still enjoyable, but I haven't finished it yet)
>persona q and persona q 2, they're based on the Etrian Odyssey games
And then you have SMT4 and its sequel SMT4 Apocalypse, they're some of my favorite video games. If you're American SMT games tend to be on sales on the e-shop pretty often from what I've been told. If you're European like me don't even bother trying to buy physical copies.

About Fire Emblem, you have Awakening which is easy and a nice 1st game to get into the series. Then you have Fates which is divided in 3 routes you have to buy separately unless you somehow find the special edition of the game. Birthright plays like Awakening, Conquest is harder because the maps are different or are the same but with more difficult objectives and different playable characters and there are restrictions so you can't level grind, like the first games of the series. Then you have Revelation, which is DLC only, have gimmicky maps and have no balance whatsover, think of it as a "fanservice" golden route where nobody dies and everyone is happy. FE Echoes is a remake of FE2 and you'll either love it or dislike it. I didn't like it at all personally. If you want to play FE Fates I recommend you just play Birthright and Conquest, forget about Revelation unless you really want to play online (not worth it.) Don't listen to anyone bitching about FE Fates having a bad story because they'll pretend that Awakening, Echoes or even other games have a better story which is wrong (except maybe for the new Switch game.) Don't play FE for the story, play it for the gameplay.

As for Ace Attorney you should be able to get the whole series on the 3DS now iirc. It's very tory focused so play in that order
>AA Phoenix Wright
>AA Justice for All
>AA Trials and Tribulation (they're in the same trilogy, and basically it's the main story written by Shu Takumi)
>Apollo Justice
>AA Dual Destinies
>AA Spirit of Justice
Try to avoid spoilers as much as you can if possible. I have the first four games on the DS and only AA5 and AA6 on the 3DS. I think you can also get the trilogy on steam but I think it's more convenient to have everything on the same platform.

I haven't played Bravely Default or Bravely Second yet, but friends have and they enjoyed both a lot. Same thing for Radiant Historia. Other games I liked were shorter Nintendo games like Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Super Mario Land, New Super Mario Bros. 2, etc. I'm looking forward to playing Zelda games, Metroid 2, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Kid Icarus and then I'll be able to talk about these games too.

I just cheked the new FF7 trailer.

What do you think? To me it looks similar to FFXV which is not a bad thing, it looks pretty but i kinda liked the turn based combat better than the broken action based system of XV that they seem to be going with. I would most certainly be playing it when it comes out, but kinda want to replay the original before it comes out.

I'm not worried about the battle system in the least because everyone who's played the demo was blown away by how great it is. They also mentioned how surprisingly good the dialogue sounds. The English voice work in this trailer sounded rough as hell, but I have faith that it'll sound better in-game. Overall, everything looks amazing. I don't even mind this new SOLDIER dude and those dumb ghosts lmao. I understand they need to pad it out so we can stay in Midgar longer. The original is one of my favorite games of all time, so I bought the 350-dollar 1st Class CE even though I've never been a preorderfag. I've waited so long for this.

The dialogs and character banter were amazing on XV. If it anywhere near as good that alone would be a selling point for this one. The big problem in Xv to me was the plot and the bland dungeons. This time we know thats covered because its FF7 we are talking about here.

Good, because the trailer didn't show it. Part of me thinks it's unnecessary to do a remake of this old game, part of me look forward to explore that world again in a new way that couldn't be done in 1997. God Don Corneo is going to be mega cringe though.

It is crazy to remember that the original game came out so long ago, maybe because the characters are so present and remembered still to this day, FF7 became franchise of its own within the FF franchise.

It makes sense that the Square Enix is giving them new life so they can milk the crap out of the IP for more years to come like they have done all the 00s, but that also means they need to step up and make a really good game that meets the expectations. I think a remake was inevitable, i don't get very salty about them because worst case scenario the remake is not as good but we still have the original game with some added mainstream relevance, best case scenario the remake is great and worth it so any way is all good.

Yakuza 7 looks great. I can't wait to play all these minigames. It looks like they're packing a LOT into it compared to Yakuza 6, which was lacking hardcore. The turn-based gameplay looks pretty fun and it definitely shows the developers are having fun with it as well. Yakuza is finally fun again.

Has anyone else played Little Misfortune yet? It's great.
I liked Fran Bow, so I had high hopes for this, and it did not disappoint. I wasn't too into some of the gross-out humor, though and I wish there was more than one ending, and more stuff to play around with in general, considering all the choices. Plus, the fact that there seems to be no real way to "die", "get caught" or otherwise lose in this game, no matter what, kind of sucks the urgency out of the scary bits. Plus, I noticed at least one continuity error and a visual glitch in one part. It almost feels sort of unfinished, but otherwise? Lovely. I loved the overall message of hope, it was refreshing and very heartwarming.

I'm playing it! More than halfway through and enjoying it a lot. Been doing most of it co-op with my fiance (some bosses I've done solo) and he loves it too. We're both big Soulsborne fans so it was a safe bet in getting it. I'm not into anime all that much personally but the story and characters are still able to hold my interest. The combat is not slow like Dark Souls, I would say it is more like Bloodborne in that regard. It took inspiration from Dark Souls for some things but is very much its own game with its own strengths and weaknesses.

I'm playing FE3H and after a few weeks not playing it whatsoever because I was too busy I reached the timeskip, and thank god the monastery section is less time-consuming now. It's still annoying though and while I'm doing the blue lions route, I want to go with the black eagles route next. Problem is, there are so many cutscenes, the support scenes are so long, the monastery part is long and repetitive and the first 11 chapters are the same no matter the route so I'm wondering if I'll get burned out. Has anyone here completed several routes in a row?

At least with Fates you could do whatever you wanted between two maps quickly and without restrictions like the action points, I wish it was a bit more like that in 3H.

I’m on my third play though now, and I hate how much of a time sink the stupid monastery is. I love FE and I’m having a lot of fun with the different classes and supports, but the pre-time skip section is just draining because there’s very little variation.

If you’re going to go Black Eagles next, make a separate save in the February month of the game because BE splits off to two separate post time skip stories so you don’t have to redo the first 11 months over.

I really feel like they could have just compressed the Monstary into the barracks like in PoR but made the whole explorable map because of Koei being involved

No. 53530

>>53522
Are you talking about the part where you choose between the black eagles route and the church route? If that's the case I'll do that, redoing the same 11 chapters with the exact same characters and cutscenes sounds like a pain in the ass.

>I really feel like they could have just compressed the Monstary into the barracks like in PoR

I'm a filthy casual who only played Awakening, Fates and (unfortunately) Echoes so far, not sure how it's like but I'm guessing it's probably more like the "my castle" feature in Fates? I don't think having such a huge explorable zone for the monastery was a good idea, doing everything I need to do each time takes at the very least an hour and more than half of that time is spent running back and forth to give items to the characters, it's boring. That's only impressive and fun the first few times you explore it. At least the maps are good and unlocking the paralogues isn't as annoying as in Awakening and Fates, especially in Conquest.

So what does everyone think of the Friends of Mineral Town remake, and how do you feel about the redesigns?

They added two new marriage candidates(bottom center of the pic) Brandon and Jennifer.

Personally I'm not too much a fan of some of the redesign choices, particularly Doc and Karen. Karen now looks like Freya from Grand Bazzar and with Doc, they somehow managed to make him look even MORE generic. Really unsure how to feel about Ricks's new hot redesign as well. Probably gonna go after Brandon, and maybe Cliff again for nostalgia.

By the way apparently they brought back the "best friend" system(from DS Cute), so you'll be able to marry any candidate regardless of your gender selection.

I'm really not that hyped for the remake… it just feels so lazy. But, I mean, it's nothing new for them, they did plenty of remakes in the past. Still, I'd rather have a whole new game. MFoMT is just so nostalgic and cute to me, the design just screams early 2000's so I'm a little sceptical. Might just be me being some kind of lore-beard purity fag.

I am very excited for the remake, although I was really hoping for a new Story of Seasons game for console. I loved the DS titles, but I am really longing for different graphics (like, actually seeing something, everything on the DS is so small lol) and the return of older gameplay mechanics like proper mines. However, I am also very ready for this nostalgia trip to Mineral Town and I like what I have seen so far, especially the video trailers. Without movement, the game looks a tad bit too much like a mobile title imho, but I think it’s bearable when playing. And nothing can be as ugly as the Harvest Moon games Natsume recently released.

The redesigns are okay. It would be nice if it would be a bit closer to the old designs, but I guess they changed their artists and this is more up to date. However, on that collage they all look kind of the same – bland and happy, which is the thing I disliked about the newer SoS installments. The characters just lack personality and are really generic. This shows in the redesigns. Popuri always was my wife in the games, but she can be really annoying; on her picture she just looks innocent and sweet. Same with Ann who looks less tomboyish and kind of boring. I understand your comment on Karen, but at least she has some kind of facial expression that goes beyond ":D".

I hope they make a sequel to the series for Switch or something. I know they have a mobile game, but it requires too much data and constant connection.

Am I the only person who's not really that sympathetic to Edelgard? I'm playing her route rn, and the writers worked overtime to make Rhea look bad and to make Edelgard look good. Except I don't really see how Rhea is the bad guy for creating a world where dragons and humans could live peacefully. Rhea only fights in self-defense when others attack her. Rhea isn't responsible for humans creating a twisted aristocracy centered around crests. I don't want to fight Rhea.

Also, I think it's funny how Edelgard says she wants to create a world where crests don't matter, but doesn't hesitate to turn random citizens into demonic beasts in other routes. Not having Byleth around isn't a good enough reason for her actions, sorry. The only peasant she talks to is Dorothea, who praises her endlessly. Edelgard doesn't even think about offering public education to commoners UNLESS she marries Ferdinand. And her idea of a meritocracy is giving her friends from high school the best governmental positions. Ferdinand and Bernadetta still get to keep their land and titles.

And I've heard Edelgard doesn't even fight TWSID, so what's the point?

I'm overthinking this. But I just don't understand why Edelgard is so popular. People act like she's so revolutionary, like she totally destroys the status quo… but she doesn't. Nothing changes.

No. 58363

I'm playing with the Blue Lions so from what I can tell she's popular because of how the game was marketed (like she was the super important heroine, like Lucina and Azura) and because people don't think too hard about the actual story and its implications (kind of how people complained about Xander being a dumbass in Conquest when though his reasons for acting lile he does is perfectly justified.) I'm going to do the Black Eagles route next, I'll see if she's a developed villain or an actually morally ambiguous character lile some people say but it looks like she fits the 1st description more since she's a copypasta of Rudolph/Walhart/Arvis.

No, I feel the exact same way.
I feel like a huge majority of the fandom complains about how Edelgard doesn't deserve all the "hate" she gets but I've literally never seen any of this so-called hate, just people defending her.
Also see a lot of people saying that if Edelgard was male people would be more sympathetic to her (his?) character, but honestly I disagree. I've seen way more people criticizing Dimitri over Edelgard. I'm all for calling gamer scrotes out but nobody's attacking her for being female, they're all defending her cause she's a cute waifu, like come on.

I think she's an interesting character but you're right, she's not revolutionary at all and basically nothing changes in her route in the end, all she did was fuck shit up and cause needless death. IMO she's hugely overrated by the fandom. The other two house leaders have more compelling stories.

No. 58378

Totally agree with you anon. One of the criticisms people like to put against Rhea is that "she executed people!!" Yeah those who tried to kill her like… she's pretty insane, but the only war she ever waged was against the ONE (not even an entire country, just one guy) who had killed her mother, sounds pretty fair to me tbh.
BE just feels incomplete to me? Edelgard was allied with twsitd and Hubert aids them in that one paralogue yet they just kinda forgot about them? BE even has less chapters than the other routes so I don't understand why they couldn't do like they did for GD. It says they beat twsits (seriously fuck whoever decided to give them such a long name) in one of the endings though, maybe the hubert/edelgard one.

Has anybody picked up Switcher yet?
I'm surprised they ported it to a console mainly directed at children and younger teens. I was curious if they censored the game at all, I remember there being a few sex scenes where you'd see a nipple or two. Not a big deal, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't taken out. I don't know how Nintendo still is with adult stuff like that, even for third party games. Also the physical release case looks neat, it comes with stickers and a map.

>>58287
Hopefully by the end of next year they'll be as cheap as Switch Lites are now and maybe then Switch Lites are going to be in the $150-175 range. I heard they're thinking about coming out with a "Pro" version of the Switch so hopefully that'll help with cheapening of the prices!
Refurbished/used consoles aren't a bad option either. I bought my 3DS and Vita used and the only issues I had to deal with were a dirty battery for the 3DS (which was easy to clean up, I just needed to dab a little alcohol on a cotton swab and rub the connector for a few seconds) and the Vita being a little scratched up on the back.

I feel the same way. Plus Edelgard was shilled so hard on the other routes. I don't remember if it was Church route or Golden Deer, but at some point I was given 2 dialogue choices and one of them was "I'm worried about Edelgard". Like bitch no, she was trying to kill me, why would I be worried? They made her a heartless bitch but they tried to make us feel so sorry about her ass.

My significant other is going through hard time, so can anyone recommend chill, relaxing or just friendly-like co-op / multiplayer games? Some cute-looking stuff like Overcooked 2 would be appreciated! We really liked it! We also got switch so couch co-op stuff is fine, too, but PC suggestions are REALLY appreciated!

We are big fans of Animal Crossing New Leaf if it helps. He liked Stardew Valley, but never could get into stardew valley possibly for graphic reasons and characters never really felt real to me.I'd lke to get something we both enjoy.

Dunno if you could handle weeb stuff, but 100% Orange Juice is a pretty comfy laid-back game. It's a board + card collecting game where the objective is to collect as many stars or kill as many enemies as possible. There are a bunch of characters that have their own special abilities and unique ways to play which really changes up the game every time. Online is pretty active so you can always find 2 other people to join, and the devs are constantly updating and adding new things.

Unfortunately you just missed it going on sale but it's still pretty cheap anyway. There's DLC to add more characters, but there are 15 in the base game (most of them have to be unlocked though). It's a quite fun casual game to play and sometimes can be pretty funny watching people get screwed over due to bad dice rolls, but there's still strategy involved based on how you decide to play and use your cards.

I won't post spoilers, but the new Pokemon leaks are pretty much making me not want to buy or play it. Maybe I've grown too old for this shit and got to play many more games to compare them but nothing really seems appealing to me so far, whether it was things shown in trailers and official announcements or in the leaks. I feel like if I really want to have fun I should just play the DS games I already have. And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't see the national dex removal as a bad thing at all since I don't care about transfering my pokemon to more recent versions and it kinda made battling online annoying.

I've seen/heard bits and pieces, spoiler ahead.

So BBs are fetuses removed from brain dead women who apparently are also used to "telepathically breastfeed" them, from what I gather? Maybe it's just because I live in a country where brain dead women have been kept on life support because they were pregnant when they died (women in general are used as vessels) and I'm really sensitive to this topic…but the fact that this is being used as some edgy subplot in a fucking video game is really depressing me. Like this is something that actually happens irl.

I'm probably speaking too soon and maybe all of this will be explained but Kojima doesn't really have a great track record for how he treats women in his games so I'm not very hopeful. Please someone tell me that this is addressed and it's not made to be some kind of sexy fantasy for basement dwellers.

ok, i´m gonna say it, Kojima is a terrible writer, he had some clever ideas that can only really work in the realm of vidya but as far as any other standards go he would be considered to be pretty dogshit, like third rate low budget horror movie level, he would not be allowed to exist as a creator of renown anywhere else except on videogames, specially with how much he rips off other authors, ripping off something from a movie and including it in a videogame is easier to pass than a movie ripping off another movie .

Even now that videogames are billion dollar enterprises the writing is still at a low bar, lower even than mainstream american movies. I feel not just Kojima but a lot of videogame personalities are really bloated and way above their heads.

I´ve know plenty of MGS fans who would disagree. The whole selling point of that franchise was how it was so cinematic and had a "serious" script, even when its really a cheesy b movie.

I'm just a bit weirded out by how inconsistent Jill's face looks (she looks different in every appearance, wut) and how she looks like Milla Jovovich sometimes, it gives me the ptsd flashbacks from the shitty movies.
Everything else looks great though, apparently it was produced alongside RE2 so it shouldn't be rushed.

Yeah, the outfit looks kinda uninspired. They put the original one in the preorder version on purpose so that more people would buy it, kek.
Face in the bottom middle looked pretty bad, but it's probably because they were trying to imitate her surprised look from a scene in the original game and it didn't go too well. Apparently the models are only there for face scanning, they don't really act the scenes. So they shoot maybe some basic expressions and the rest are worked on later artificially, that's why some expressions might look weird.

Are there any anons here that enjoy elder scrolls online here? Ever since I got into it in august I have been completely hooked and have been playing it every single day. It's hands down the best elder scrolls game ever made, even if it had a rocky start on release according to those who experienced that and flaws it has, mainly pertaining to it being a mmo. Some examples of the flaws include there being no real player impact is left on the world because they need to reset the dungeon for the next players, or trying to be stealthy, but another players just runs in and rip and tears through everything, or having to wait for a boss to reset because you couldn't get a hit in because other players got to them before you. It's also the ultimate mmo for people who hate people and mmos. Zenimax do a good job of acting on criticism. I would hope that for ES6 that they outsource the game to someone else because I can tell from a mile away it's going to suck, I have no faith in them. Sorry for my retarded sperging, eso is good.

I beat the Azure Moon route a few months ago in FE3H and now I'm right in the middle of the Crimson Flower route and oh god, this game is such a drag. Why the fuck did the developers think making you redo the beginning of the game 3/4 times to unlock all the endings was a good idea?

Not really, the game is weird in that the route split happens at the very beginning (as soon as the first chapter iirc?) where you have to choose your house/students, but you only really start having different chapters and stories after the 12th or 13th chapter when you compare all the routes.

The exception is between the Crimson Flower and Silver Snow routes where the route split happens right before the 12th chapter so I WILL use the save function here. Fates was better designed, you only had 5 short chapters to complete before the route split, you can skip them once you complete your first run anyway and the chapters between all the versions were way more different.

Don't worry about it, I managed to stay her ally after the timeskip.

Not sure I'll be able to do the VW route since I'm only borrowing my sister's Switch and I'll probably move out soon.

I liked Edelgard a lot in AM as a villain and even in general, she was pretty much a better Walhart since she's important from the beginning of the story. But I already have a feeling her own route is trying to push her as a kawaii waifu who did nothing wrong because she loves her sensei uwu after the timeskip.

That's how I felt like, too. Her motives for everything in CF seemed kind of inconsistent to me, and she and Hubert say a lot of things, but then do the exact opposite. I'm also getting tired of everyone on twitter being like "she'd be the perfect communist queen, if you just ignore her personality, her actions, and her reasons for ruling." Edelgard fans seem to be incapable of looking at her flaws, they really love to whitewash her. She's way more interesting as a villain, rather than how she acts in CF… I don't think she's cute just because she's scared of rats, sorry.

At least Rhea and Dimitri fans will admit that their faves did a lot of things wrong.

To me it seems like her route was developed at the last minute because IS was too ambitious (again, see what happened to Fates) and wanted a villain route because characters like Rudolph, Arvis or Walhart were popular, BUT they wanted a plot twist à la MGS2 were the heavily marketed character and poster boy/girl of the game is actually not the protagonist (and the suspicious JRPG church and pope aren't the actual villains) BUT the investors told them to hurry up and release the game asap while forcing them to make Edelgard more marketable for Japanese normies and waifufags so she can't be too much of a ruthless misguided villain.

Actually I say that but I've been told that VW and SS are pretty much copy-pasted and that it's more likely that VW was based off SS with only one more chapter and a different last chapter. I really wonder how the game was developed now. We will probably never know, since to this day we don't know exactly how FE Fates was developed and why the story had so much potential and was so shit (an that's not even taking the terrible localization into account)

I need to sperg about my man Goro Majima for a second. I fucking hate a majority of the fans and even the localization team for not taking him seriously. They all just portray him as some ex dee totally random "trash goblin". Like… Have you actually played the game? Everything he does, is for a reason, no matter how random it may seem. His whole fucking personality is an act for his protection, down to his Osaka accent and hair, so people from his past wouldn't recognize him. He's a man of many masks, which is why I think his Hanya tattoo is perfect. The character designers knew exactly what they were doing.
Also, I absolutely HATE Goromi fans. I can't believe how obsessed they are with this single sub story scenario to the point where they're making zines and seething at Sega for referring to Goromi still as a man.

Either this or it goes to beach or wherever to chill with Cliff eternally) and I would love to exchange opinions with someone.
Overall I liks the game but feel like Hideo has missed out on making the characters feel like real people and not plot devices. I miss the codec calls about everything and nothing from MGS 1-4. This and all the little scenes made the characters of MGS feel like my friends or acquaintances. They were very exaggerated as well but the fact that most of them felt like they had interests and life outside of their importance to the main plot (or situation at hand) made them unforgettable.
(diehardman really pissed me off when he started venting his guilt at me. idgaf, our relationship was purely professional, go see a priest if you feel that bad)
I'm pleasantly surprised at no bullshit sexualization of female characters (I wonder if someone at Sony forced him to stop being a retard due to the fallout of the #metoo era or if it was his decision). I really like most of them though I wish that we could get to know them better.

ATM I beloeve that Cliff is best guy as he loved his wife and went crazy without her and never wanted to leave her or their son. I'm awaiting to find out it's his fault that she winded up in coma/braindead(?)

It looks really unique and strange (love it) but I've heard it's super difficult. I like difficulty (hollow knight is my fav game) but in this case it's a RPG and I'm scared that it's just not going to be fun to play ? Especially with the time limit.

Has anyone played the Life is Strange franchise?
I feel like a lot of people shit on the games for being "sjw-pandering" but I genuinely enjoyed the first game, it had a goid story line and soundtrack.
The prequel was kinda shitty, I hated hoe Chloe was manipulated by Rachel Amber, and I feel like it left out many plotpoints from the previous game (like how Rachel and Frank had a thing going on) and it dragged on a bit.
Life is Strange 2 was honestly disappointing, the main character gave me the I'm-to-kewl-2-care vibe and the episodes didn't feel like they made a continuous story line, just random shit that happened to them. The only character development that was happening was Sean getting edgy and careless, and Daniel getting more annoying (albeit still a young child, but still).

I love LiS1, I have a lot of warm nostalgic feelings about it. I've been playing as the episodes would come out and I remember the agony over completing the ep and having to wait months for the next one, oof. So much suspense. Honestly, LiS1 was an Experience for me.
I liked Before the Storm too, tbf I don't know why people are not that enthusiastic about it. In some ways it hit me more than first season. I like chaotic complex female characters though, Rachel wasn't annoying me. Chloe was very manipulative towards Max, too. Adds to the realism and complexity of relationships, maybe.
The second season though… I just don't care about the characters. Not enough to even play beyond ep2, I've been putting off finishing the game for quite a time now. It's not the matter of not relating because they're not white chicks… I don't know. It just doesn't have the same magic? Hard to describe.

I don't like LiS much anymore but I do look back very fondly on it. I was born and raised in Oregon and Arcadia Bay reminded me so much of my trips out to the coast as a child. Arcadia Bay is literally just Tillamook Bay. Plus I was seventeen, and an dorky hipster, and obsessed with Twin Peaks…it was literally made for me kek. Even then I thought it was cringey and at times poorly written but it was an experience nonetheless.

It's very cute! You enroll in a little wizard school, and like Animal Crossing you're the only human there. There's shops and restaurants etc you can go to and you can decorate your dorm room.

in the same vein,I really wish Rule of Rose(which is similar in a way as there's a female protag with a dog) got a remake with fixed game mechanics,since it was the biggest problem of the game which really ruined the experience.I haven't played it as it's one of the rarest games of PS2 because it was banned in a some countries,but I loved everything about it from the music and the atmosphere to the story and the characters and how they were all handled.Lots of thought was put in in and it's a shame it was rushed to the point the gameplay was so bad people were quitting it.It also got unfair flack for "lesbian" themes and abuse which were only subtle and handled pretty well imo.Stupid moral panic and shitty gameplay made this game obscure while it could be a horror classic like silent hill and I'm kinda salty more people dont know about it.

The chances of it being remade are slim as most people don't know it exists and atlus doesn't seem to care about remaking a game like this.It has a great story with sad themes and good twists.And for a 2006 game,the motion capture graphics looks pretty good even today compared to AAA full realistic games which look ugly and outdated

This game is fucking fantastic. One of my biggest regrets was finding s used copy at Gamestop for like 30 bucks but then selling it later on. Now it's way too expensive to buy. I loved everything about this game except the fighting but it could've been clever. I loved the weapons, the health items and costumes. I also loved the Brown mechanic. There was so much lore and so much to explore here. The characters are great and you feel like you're stepping into their world.

No, that would be horrible. The game had so many fun notes and side quests to do where you can piece together the mystery. Movies cant do it and a series would be awful because it's a game based on some scenes that do sexualize minors and that would be disgusting irl.


I would love for Outbreak to get a remake however!! It's a game that had such an interesting concept, but executed poorly. It would be interesting to do it with actual online multiplayer.

I just got a PS4 recently after not owning one since the 2, any good games I should check out? I've mostly been a nintendofag and was gifted an xbox one a while back so anything thats ps exclusive I have missed out on over the past 10-12 years or so.

It came with that bundle with horizon, god of war, ive been playing the sims 4 and some JRPGS. I also just started Code Vein. I like pretty much all kinds of games but RPGs are my favorite. I trust lolcow to steer me in the right direction.

I can't in good conscience recommend Destiny 2 rn, since it's on the last couple weeks of the current season and the New Light introduction they have for newbies is an irredeemable mess, but it's free to play, if you wanna give it a shot.

If none of these catch your interest, or you've played most of them, the PSN has a fuck-ton of other games to browse through, so there's plenty to choose from. Hope it helps, anon.

anons I played FE Awakening back when it came out and am currently halfway through Three Houses and really like them both. Which other Fire Emblem games should I play? The only other tactical rpgs I've played are Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (which I adore) and Phantom Brave, if that matters.

No. 77378

>>77345
Try to play FE Fates if you liked Awakening in terms of gameplay. It's the same thing but better/more balanced. There are three versions, Conquest, Birthright and Revelation. Conquest and Birthright are the base game but they're sold separately and they have different playable characters and classes, as well as different chapters (unlike 3H where all the routes have almost all the same maps for a long time except maybe CF but it's the shortest route by far). Birthright plays exactly like Awakening but more balanced. Conquest is way harder because of restricted money and lack of level grinding maps but has really good maps. The story isn't all that great and some of the really interesting things were removed for the localized versions because the story wasn't family-friendly enough and some people will tell you it's shit but the characters are ok for the most part. Just make sure to unlock supports between all the siblings to learn more about them.

It's recommended you play Revelation last because it reveals a bunch of plot points that stay mysteries in both base game routes. Not only this is wrong and other less expensive and more fun DLCs reveal actual things, the maps are super gimmicky and boring. And there's the fact that you can use almost all the characters from both versions but they have shit stats and levels in the chapters where they show up so there's no point to it. The only good thing from this version is if you want to play online but it's too late for that now. So imo you shouldn't bother with Revelation at all.

FE Echoes plays very differently from the other 3DS games but I wouldn't recommend it. I personally hated it, the original game aged like milk and almost nothing was modernized in this remake. Don't listen to people telling you the game is good because the art and voice acting is great because they mean that only these things are good.

I'm playing FE Blazing Blade right now and I'm enjoying it but I'm only at the beginning of the game (just unlocked Eliwood), so I can't give you an opinion yet on the GBA games.

My girl!

The soulsborne games aren't nearly as difficult as people like to make them out to be. Just like any game, they require familiarity with the controls, and while there is a bit of a learning curve for some encounters, don't let the prospect of difficulty or the words of a buncha pansy-ass dudes dissuade you. The games are beautiful, full of depth and, once you get a hang of what you're doing, incredibly fun. Cheers, anon!

Guys can be very shitty about games but ngl I don’t think handholding you through a soulsgame is a guy-only thing, I think I fucked up and robbed my friend of her first run experience too because we decided to immediately co-op and I lead her hard through everything because I wanted to spare her all the frustrating shit I did on mine.
>>77444
this is true. Souls is a bit annoying with how NPC quests work however, they’re convoluted and hard to keep a track of and imo you end up doing many things unknowingly. I take skyrim’s hand holding map markers over this.

I'm not fond of lorebeards and their fans who constantly parrot their glorified fanfiction, there's too many players who get sucked into watching YouTube videos to cram all that lore in and I think they're losing out on the mental exercise that comes with piecing together your own interpretation of the game on your own.

So I recently got hooked into the Persona games. I played 3 and 4 and loved them and was looking forward to playing 5 but I was abroad and only had my handhelds so I had to wait. Now I'm home and am reunited with my PS4, but P5R is so close to being released in the west and now I'm not sure if I should buy a cheap used copy of P5 and play it first, then buy Royal when it's gone down in price a bit, or just skip the middleman and only play Royal.
Idk, am I overthinking this? I feel kinda dumb buying P5 when the more enhanced version is right around the corner, but I'm pretty cheap and more of a "patient gamer" too. Any thoughts from people who've already played 5?

I've seen that the added content in P5R isn't amazing or change the experience of the actual game overall like P3FES, P3P or even P4G did so you're better off saving money and getting the original game.

I started The men of Yoshiwara Kikuya and its sequel Ohgiya, they're pretty boring so I don't think I'll do all the routes for both. I did two full routes of the first game and I just started one route of the second game.

I don't mind if there's no voice acting in the men of yoshiwara actually, it allows me to just smash enter and be done with routes pretty fast since I read very fast. I did one route in ohgiya and marked that one as "completed" in my backlog anyway, I started another route to shitpost about it with friends but after that I'll leave it at that.

Here's the thing I don't understand, TLoU is a very meh, big-budget video game written by people who obviously wished they were making movies instead, it's hardly ever stood out as the kind of game that would take risky steps like this, whatever your opinion of it. There seems to be more game devs who are trans than people working in cinema or TV, or atleast more vocal ones. Large portions of the gaming community are very trans-oriented, speedrunning for example has a huge amount of trans runners. My only explanation for it is that shit like Gamergate encouraged a split where you're either for wokeness, trans representation, etc. or you're super against it, feminismand SJWs, etc. The funny thing about TLoU2 is that no one is happy, transfolks hate that their representative is a villain, women hate that their representation is being diluted and the usual Twitter edgelords are mad the women aren't sexier and that there's anything "SJW-y" in their precious video games.

If the game is going to be this focused on social political tumblr politics, why even make it at all? The first game was a pretty good end of the world type horror game. I didnt even give a crap that they hinted at Ellie being gay. But this trans thing? Homophobic shit? Why? Who are they selling this game to? I play games to not deal with this and now it's here. I was looking forward to this game all year, especially with the quaratine happening and now i'm going to give it a pass. It's so disappointing that Naughty Dog is going this route.

The naughty dog leaker confirmed that anyone in deveopment is at risk of being fired for questioning "progressive" choices. Its definitely a transdev thing.
Making women "ugly" isn't an issue for me. Look at Heather from silent Hill 3. They're literally trying to make women as masculine as possible to soothe the feelings of trans? It makes no sense to go overboard on this. Ellie wasn't an overly feminine character in the first game anyways. This feels very fucking weird and stupid. The plot is even worse.

Heather from SH3 is cute and femme, what are you talking about? The only thing they really changed about design was giving her slightly wavy hair and a skirt instead of pants. I like her design and personality a lot though.

Ellie was always a tomboy, (which lacks massive representation, let's be real.) Women do come in all shapes and sizes. I've never met an extremely hyper femme or hyper masculine woman before. Usually women are just women, even if they wear skirts or sweat pants. The problem is Ellie was always pretty much a tomboy and there was no need at all to 'masc' her up to avoid hurt feelings. I just do not get this choice they are making. No one wins here.

Wouldn't surprise me. The scene is so gruesome that it's absolutely over the top in how intense it is. It's not just blood and gore you see in action games and think nothing of it, it's an actual beloved character being beaten to a pulp by someone the player doesn't give a shit about and then made to watch as her girlfriend is killed in a very disturbing way. And to top it all off, the killer becomes the new main character. That's just sick and disturbing on so many levels and I'm not at all surprised at the claim that 70% of the original staff walked out. It's horrifying how anyone would think this was a good idea, especially when the marketing played so heavily on showcasing the lesbian couple.

That's so stupid. It's a post apocalyptic scenario and the player knows that Joel is far from being a saint but he did whatever he could to save Ellie from being vivisected.

In TLoU2, he gets brutally killed and then spat on. They even added that animation from Ellie's point of view when you see blood coming out of his cracked skull.
I liked the first game and I don't consider myself attached to the characters yet I found the scene disturbing.
And then to top it all, you're supposed to play as the killer, the totally buffed "woman" and care for her?
They try to make her extremely likeable by adding shit like she saves children with medicine which is so cheap.
Also, Abby is supposed to be a biological woman but looking at the model they used for making abby, they removed her curves and other sings of femininity on Abby which confirms what an article said that they deliberately make women looking more manly and men looking more feminine to be trans inclusive.

I just don't understand why they went with this plot for the sequel. There is no possible way they thought "murder the protagonist from the first game" was going to go over well with fans, even if the villain wasn't some weird social justice thing.

Way back when the first game came out Neil Druckmann said in an interview when asked about a sequel that "I think the world is ripe for more stories, but as far as the journey Joel and Ellie goes on it ends with this game." Somehow that's turned into "let's do a sequel with these characters and then kill them off." I just really want to know the reasoning behind it. Like >>86689 said, maybe they wanted the money a sequel would bring but knew they could never live up to the hype so decided they would rather have a complete trainwreck than another meh game? Did someone insist on having Ellie and Joel be in the sequel, but not care what actually happened to them? Is this all an elaborate set up for some shitty tv/movie spin-off? Find out next time on dragon ball z.

Also, I know everyone's forgotten/accepted it by now but it's still so weird to me how they insisted the ellie/ellen page thing was a coincidence. Even the names, and the fact that she's a lesbian.

She initially planned on having the vacation by herself due to it being what most adults do, but she quickly got bored when she met the Owner.

The fighting combo is also something that I need to know before buying. The trailer shows lots of story, which is good bc that's something I loved about the two first games.

T h i s

They give you every console the same old ports. The N64 and the Game Cube have tons of good games that are now sadly forgotten. If I remember it correctly they actually planned a N64 and GC virtual console on the switch but removed it for some reasons.

The reason why I would love to see this happen is because as a fan of a now dead franchise like fzero I could go back and enjoy these classics. Specially F-zero x is such a treasure. The gameplay and soundtrack are top notch and I say this as a person who normally hates racing games. Or idk some old zelda or Super Mario Sunshine, stuff like that. It was also speculated that Super Mario Sunshine gets a new entry of the series on the switch, which I hope happens because I remember really enjoying it as a kid lol

They can but they said that they do not want to because they have ~philosophy~ that things that lying around in shelves and in storage are worthless or some shit like this and therefore they only produce a limited amount of copies of each game. This is also the reason why they have shortage all the time because they rather see the value sky-rocking of old game then being worthless in their eyes. I don't know, that's the way they see it but it also won't change the fact they could re-Release everything as a digital version as they used to do on the DS, Wii and WiiU on the virtual console.

My copy of Rule of Rose is the most treasured game in my collection. The combat is frustrating but not as bad as everyone makes it out to be if you're already used to survival horror games. Everything is gorgeous; the graphics, the story, the music… I highly recommend it, it has a very special place in my heart. It's a real shame that blog analyzing the game is gone now, I think it was called Rule of Rose mysteries.

I remember that one! The one ran by PokerNemesis? It was such an amazing blog for posting all the theories and threading together notes from the game. RoR is probably my favorite horror game ever made next to Fatal frame series. It's just so underappreciated. I remember being so annoyed when Cryaotic played it a few years back and was too stupid to get the game and kept complaining how much it sucked. He was an idiot and it frustrated me the entire time.

That blog was legendary. I never finished the game as I got stuck at some part, but still enjoyed the plot analysis. The art and story in RoR is top notch. I wish we could still get such games in the post-PS2 era! Why there were so many risky, interesting Japanese games on the PS2 and not so many later on? Was the production so cheap back then that they were affordable despite the 3D graphics? Or was it because PS2 was a bestselling console?

I had no idea. I'm so honestly sick of lazy writing when it comes to female characters. It's always like this. How hard is it to write a female MC like an actual person and not a plot device? Naughty dog is absolute trash and they should have never released a sequel to such a good game.

I think PS2 absolutely had the best titles on there. It's still my favorite console ever made. All my favorite horror games exist on it. Like the original Silent hill 2-4 and Fatal frame series. I still need to hunt down Kuon, but that's gonna be a while before i get a good price for it. PS2 was superior because it was backwards compatible too. I played so many PS1 horror games on it.

My question is… if Elizabeth killed her own father, wouldn't that mean she wasn't even born in the original universe??

Some other random inconsistencies in the story/setting (massive nitpicking incoming in 3…2…1):
- Elizabeth was locked away most of her life with no human interaction, but behaves like a quirky, cute Disney princess with above the average social skills
- audiologs being scattered around in Rapture made sense, as the whole city was pillaged. Why would people record their thoughts and leave them around in Columbia??
- the plasmids also made sense in the original game, scientific advancements being one of the themes. Why do vigors exist in Columbia? Noone other than Booker seem to be using them
- not an incostistency, but I hoped the game would address the themes of race/nationalism it started out with, and not dump it in the second half to introduce the parallel world shit
- the original trailer suggested that Songbird would have a bigger role
- it also portrayed Columbia as a huge open world area which it was..not

I think the PS5 looks good I like the futuristic vibe but…. Was I the only one disappointed by almost every trailer ?? I'm obsessed with vg trailers but here they seemed super rushed. The one for resident evil 8 was so bad. Pragmata started good but I can't stand the cute little girl companion protected by The Big Strong Man trope, it always weirded me out.

Arkane is by far my favorite studio but deathloop seemed boring when it was revealed and the gameplay video here confirmed it. What a downgrade.

Most of the games did look like PS4 titles. And some of the indie games were outright funny. They can’t be serious about that cartoon furry teenager angst game?!

I am a consoomer and ready to be hyped, but this is not it. There is no game that screams "new generation", they mostly look generic and just not as good as expected. That being said, I do like Horizon Zero Dawn 2 and the game where you are a stray cat in the future. And perhaps the announcements from Ubisoft and EA will be better.

I am not sure about Deathloop. It it the most creative game so far (not hard with that competition), but the trailer also did not convince me. The Resident Evil trailer was alright imo, but the way the reboot changed the whole series is still weird to me. They basically made a whole new setting and style, but still call it "Resident Evil".

No. 95676

To be honest they all looked like PS4 games when they showed gameplay. I have no idea how I'm supposed to see it as a next gen console when they seemed to peak at PS4, the trailer was mostly showing off how many floating particles they're able to render and idgaf about that. The games were pretty meh in general because they were just sequels or reboots of games I really had no interest in beforehand. But that's just my subjective opinion. Ghostwire and Demon's souls looked surprisingly good though but jesus christ the Resident Evil was a joke.

>>95665
When I saw that fucking teenage furry game the first thing I thought was who sucked off who to get this licensed and greenlit. It literally looks like the creators are transbians who post fetish porn of their characters on Twitter, like no exaggeration I'm being serious and not just banting. Made me feel uncomfortable as hell.

The PS5 digital edition shit made me worried though. I want to keep my games physical so I know I actually fucking own them and they can't be taken away by the company whenever they want, I hope they're not planning to get rid of physical media altogether.

I have mixed feelings about this, from what has been shown in the trailer, I fear they'll take a more bombastic approach à la Bloodborne/DkS3, losing the intimate and melancholic atmosphere that made the game so great (the world is supposed to be dull and muted due to the fog). It also looks like they are incorporating themes from the successor games that were not in DeS, many shots in the trailer were crepuscular, and the one with the skeleton in Shrine of Storms was a huge fail imo (also lol at hyping the reaper when it's one of the weakest ennemy in the game). A part of the original game's charm came from its simplicity and small scope, I fear that they won't translate it well.

Sorry for overanalyzing this 1 minute trailer, I'm a huge Soulsborne sperg and I've actually wanted a Demon's Souls remake for years, so I'm scared they'll fuck it up. I'm still hyped though, and if they actually include the sixth area and completely rehaul the world tendency system, that would be a huge improvement to the original game.

RE4 still felt like a RE game though. It definitely jumped the shark, but it worked. Maybe i'm an old fag, but RE4 was the last good RE game. RE5 is only fun with a friend as player 2 and RE6 was horrible.

I only enjoyed RE7 as a stand alone game, but i'm not really into first person horrors in general. I like the option to at least have 3rd person mode. I feel like it's scarier. they should scrap RE in general for now and work on a new IP, but capcom is massively lazy and wont do that sadly.

Also, I thought someone was joking when they told me the leaked ending.
Here it is:
Ellie is about to kill Abby but realizes revenge is bad and lets her live. Abby still attacks her and eats(? maybe cuts off ?) her fingers. Ellie can't play guitar anymore and all her memories of Joel start fading.

Even if the sex scene by itself wasn't so disgusting, movies are made to show a story and a sex scene is generally there to show the characters' relationship or because it's gonna be relevant somewhat. If it's not relevant then it's gonna be there for fanservice, as in, it's supposed to look sexy.

Here this is a sex scene in a video game. The point of a video game is to entertain gamers with good level design and gameplay. Stories are not necessary unless they're written for specific genres. If you wanted to show that these two characters are in love to each other and very close, you don't have to be that explicit in a video game because it brings nothing new or interesting to the table (and I can argue that this also applies to many movies and TV shows as well), just show the characters kissing and the screen fades to black or whatever. And it does't work as fanservice either for reasons I don't even have to explain. I already feel way better about my tiny breasts just knowing what the """woman""" looks like in this.

You two have to realize there are other women except you and bodies come on many shapes, even though popculture is feeding you images of the only one right way a woman is supposed to look like. It's a very toxic mindset to have, not only towards others but also your own self esteem. I've spoilered an examples of small breast that came up just from a very quick google search.

Ok then I didn't feel like it's relevant but here goes. I'm used to going to public baths (not sure if that's a good translation) where women all of ages, sizes, body types, skin colors, etc. come do their business and I've never, EVER seen breasts this deformed. And the breasts in your picture don't look at all like the fucked up shit in the sex scene in TLOU either, not sure what you're trying to prove here. The girl with the piercings are the closest to what I look like, to give you an idea.

Started playing BOTW again after sinking 300 hours into ACNH lol. I only have like 65 hours in BOTW despite owning it for like two years now… One of my favorite streamers is doing a master mode, permadeath run and it made me want to play again, seeing how much fun he was having (not on master mode or doing permadeath because I suck at games). It feels stupid to say but I’m starting to feel burnt out on ACNH even though I still want to change things on my island… that used to be fun, and it used to be the thing I’d sink more hours into if my interest started to wane, but now it just feels bad lol. Like, it just makes me hate my island more and more even though I make fun micro environments that I like. Feels much more fun now to just run around aimlessly in BOTW. I also finally beat my first two divine beasts (with no guide) and a major test of strength shrine!! I’m such a fucking terrible gamer and look up guides for everything, so it feels accomplishing to just figure it out myself for once haha. I also usually avoid combat at all costs (makes for my own fun challenge- to do things in the most convoluted way just to avoid all combat), but I started going out of my way to fight shit so I can get materials for upgrades, and even fight some small bosses like Hinoxes. Will I ever fight a Lynel? Probably not. But tomorrow I’m gonna try to do another divine beast, and maybe try fighting a Molduga. Maybe some more side quests too.

People shit on DS2 all the time but once you finish the entire game along with the dlcs, you feel like you've been on a really long journey. The one thing I like the most about DS2 is the choices you get to make in the end.
DS2 without dlcs is okay but the dlcs make all the difference. So get the Scholar of the First Sin. It's worth it imo. However playing online can be a bit tiresome. So many twinks when you're starting out since a lot of people have played it already. I got one shotted all the time.
>>96766
Definitely. It feels as if the studio decided to not make Abby a tranny in the last moment so "she" looks like one but is officially a biological woman. I thought they would make a grand reveal during the pride month. The fact remains that they did intentionally cater to the trans populace by making female characters less feminine and male chars more feminine.

Fuck the Persona developers. I think the only time since P3 when they heavily referenced the previous games was when they made Nyx the villain and the entire game was subtly a very direct sequel of the Snow Queen route in P1 but after that it's all just copypasted shit everywhere.

Aside from the fact that one wouldn't be able to be that jacked during an apocalypse with limited food resources and no gym, the bone structure of a woman's torso just doesn't look like that.

That's not even the only problem with the calendar system, it worked well in P3 because the story and the system where designed to go well together but in P4 and P5 it makes everything so needlessly long just to it can fit with the Japanese school/fiscal year so you have stupid shit like in P4 where the story is full of mystery and tension, you slowly but surely investigate and learn more about the world and the characters and then there are hours and hours of bullshit like the school trip, the fucking school festival and right after that the night at the ryokan. So you have to wait for the actual plot to happen.

You sound like a retarded SJW who never looked at a real, normal woman in your entire life. Abby looks jacked like a man or a woman abusing hormones and steroid injections would be, and she doesn't even look like her real life model. Buff women who regularly work out don't look like that at all.

Same, anon!! I dont understand the need for sequels. Look what happened to the Last of Us. It wasn't a perfect game by any means, but it was really good on its own. I thought it ended really well too.

Ellie knew Joel lied to her. For me, i think she knew and lived with the lie because it was all she could accept. I love Ellie and Joel's father/daughter relationship. Yes, people complained it was a glorified fetch quest and escort game, but it was genuinely new and fun to me. I dont see any reason why we needed a TLOU2, same with Bloodborne. To me, it's a near perfect game that had a solid ending, no matter which route you took. Dark souls already tried to cram so much into all 3 games. Those series should end and be stand alone. I want more souls type games, but it doesnt need to be in the same universe.

Why didnt they make a buff woman who looked more like a woman though? Like other anons said, they made her more masculine on purpose. Even working out 7 days a week wouldnt make you as huge as Abby in game. I understand muscular women would exist in this time line, but they did Abby dirty and she looks like a tranny.

She was a model for the body, not the face. Makes sense since her discipline is crossfit, sth that would be definitely doable / good to be good at in the zombie apocalypse scenario such as TLOU2 setting. I would disagree Abby's face looks manly, she is not superfeminine, but just face-wise, she looks exactly like i'd imagine average woman in a circumstances in which you never focus on looking cute and pretty; but I guess it's subjective. Body-wise though she really looks identical to this Colleen Fotsch.
I do agree most of the women musculature looks somewhat different, Colleen seems to naturally have more narrow hips and barely pronounced waist, which contributes to her body to appear more masculine especially after such heavy workout she's doing, but she's still a woman and a proof a woman absolutely can look like this. So all of these comments online about Abby's having a man body are just narrow-minded and harmful.

It'd be very useful in that situation, sure, but with the lack of free time, safety, and resources such as food or proper working equipment there's no way a woman in the zombie apocalypse would look like this naturally. This is why people complain so much, not just because Abby is muscular by itself but because it makes no sense in THIS game. She looks manly, that's it, no need to argue over it because it's obvious.

Absolutely not. She's canonically a woman. She was just made very buff (that, again, wouldn't be possible in the setting) and masculine because trans ppl representation!!!
And you can tell they tweaked her model by looking at the differences between the trailers and the final game, Abby used to look muscular still, but less masculine and jacked than now. At the time people even mistook her for Ellie's mother, there was no doubt that she was a woman. Now she looks trans.

For some reason, I had many dreams of talking with Kojima to the point I almost feel like I actually did. I bet plenty of spergs have an possibly unhealthy parasocial relationship with him.

As for appeal of Kojima, his gamedesign is very creative and daring - with 4th wall breaking and all that. No one treated games like this in terms of design when his biggest hits came out so the reputation is deserved. The stories he likes to tell tend to be a bit over the top but if you like this kind of aesthetic you'll be satisfied, it's just not for everyone. Issue with Death Stranding is that with the story it just ended up being too much - I assume because of lack of creative control he had with Konami, and the gameplay was too overhyped - calling it "new type of game" and so - to what it ended up being.

>>97350
Not the person who called DS shit but I've also played it - it's not necessarily awful. It looks beautiful, cinematics are impressive, character design is - in my opinion - really great too. It has a few "wow" moments, especially in the exploration, and the music is absolutely top tier - I seem to have similar taste to Kojima when it comes to licensed songs, but these pale in comparison to the job Ludvig Forssell did with the original soundtrack. Unfortunately gameplay doesn't match the epicness of it, combat is very barebones and uncreative - you punch you shoot you toss stuff and that's all - and your main task, being a delivery man, is often very frustrating. This said, if you can get the game for discounted price - like -50% sale or something - it's still worth checking out.

Are you surprised that everyone is shitting on Konami? They treated Kojima and his team like shit. Even if you take Kojima aside, just look at the Silent Hill series. I pray the rumors are true and we do get a new, quality title but I somehow doubt that.
I get that it's not as simple as 'Kojima good, Konami bad' but there is a reason why everyone hates them.
>Being unique and bizarre doesn't automatically make you good.
Absolutely. But for many people Kojima's brand of 'unique and bizzare' IS good. It's a matter of taste. You also have to remember that he was the first to constantly input original ideas into his games. Just read any interview to find it out. Not to mention the crazy attention to detail. Apparently he used to stay overnight when working on MGS to make sure that the desks in a room are not the same and it's just a single example. I think MGS2 is even better when it comes to this.
What other people do you have in mind that are comparable to Kojima when it comes to gameplay? Would love to give their games a shot (if I hadn't already).
>>97379
I will be honest, I did not love DS as much as I loved MGS (even though I was really hyped). But you cannot experience the game just through the cutscenes. The exhausting gameplay is part of the story. You will not get DS if you don't walk in Sam's shoes.
I was constantly feeling overwhelmed with all the packages that Sam can deliver, the difficult to climb terrain, the loneliness of the world. It really felt like something when I saw a structure made by another player or met those friendly porter NPCs. Not everyone will enjoy the gameplay, but I absolutely disagree that watching the cutscenes is enough.
Finishing DS felt like hard work to me (I really loved the Cliff battles cause they allowed me to rest and reminded me of MGS, especially Snake Eater) and that's why I ignored many side quests. My boyfriend absolutely loved the game and 100% it. He enjoyed all the planning and preparing before each delivery SOO MUCH! If you are a certain type of person, you will love Death Stranding.

Regarding wow moments in exploration, of course it's subjective, but what i mean specifically is the pacing and the cinematic vibe of entering new locations. It happened plenty of times throughout the game but the one that impressed me the most is entering Port Lake City area. All the quests before that are a struggle to say the least, you escape the BTs, you climb up that hill with all the cargo, seeing nothing but the more dangerous climb ahead of you, and when you finally reach the top of the hill, you see this amazing panorama of the big lake shimmering in the sun, camera pans back for more cinematic frame and Asylums For The Feeling song begins to play. It was an incredibly beautiful moment for me, a pay-off for all the struggle prior. A lot of this game is designed like that, a struggle - a pay-off. It wasn't always balanced enough to be worth the struggle part, but for the few touching moments I had in this game, I'd still consider it a good experience overall.

Also, though completely unrelated to environments, my need of more Higgs encounters kept me going too because I just love over-the-top, pretentious villains like this.

I'm not suprised that everyone hates them. I was mainly talking about the quality of the games of Kojima under Konami and Kojima free to do whatever comes to his mind with a giant budget and (in my opinion) make a very mediocre and forgettable game.
Of course liking his way of telling a story is a matter of taste in the end, altough some of his decisions are objectively far from that of a genius (again, I'm referring to DS).
And what exactly are you talking about that is so groundbreaking in gameplay? I know he basically invented the stealth genre with the MGS series, but so did Doom and Wolfentein with the FPS genre, Resident Evil with the survival horror and zombies, MegaTen, FF and Dragon Quest with the RPGs each with their own spin, and I could go on and on with titles you probably already know. If you refer to unique aspects within the game, there are tons of indie or lesser known games with original things. But Kojima's name will always be put above any other anyway.

This game has never been my favorite but I love the world and I love the characters. That said, the amount of immersion breaking is so bad. I just want to explore and meet characters and go dungeon diving but there's this goddamn voice in my head saying "Shouldn't you be looking for Shaun? What kind of parent would go around doing side quests while their son is missing?"
I'm really big on roleplaying so I feel like I have to do the main quest as soon as possible, because that's what the character would do. But the main quest has the most tedious start after you rescue Valentine from that vault, so I get bored and stop playing altogether.

Like you said, Abby has zero redeeming qualities and people are only defending her cuz 'muh tranny pandering.' Pandering to trannies is going to ruin any good chance of a game working out.

I kinda ship Felix with Dimitri in my head tbh but their epilogue is obscenely lame with the latter taking a wife and seemingly fucking the former on the side or some shit so I'll keep to the Byleth/Dimitri route.

Felix and Annette have really cute and natural chemistry so I'll probably pair him up with her. Their early support lines so far have been endearingly dorky and I like that he's not tsun around her, he's just kinda sweet.

Byleth has no personality so I feel like Felix would be a waste on her, which could be said for any character/Byleth tbf. Idk who likes to play as these completely dull protagonists but it sure ain't me. I wish my avatar wasn't such a husk, I'd rather RP as someone with a personality and try to walk in their shoes instead of "self inserting" into a completely blank slate. Self-inserting as a concept doesn't really work imo because the other characters can't play off the protagonist when they protagonist has to stay neutral to allow the "self insert" in the first place. It's paradoxical.

DP1 had framerate issues; it's not like this is DMC we're talking about here. People play DP for the story and not the riveting 10/10-Monster-DLC gameplay. Plus it doesn't help that it's on a Switch which is a weaker console specs wise than the others.

If you observe Felix with other characters in the game, he's always got his guard up and generally avoids being around them. His tsundere shit is also borderline toxic due to how he seldom drops that act. The other characters always seek him out first, and during the conversations he's always seen trying to get out of hanging out, or is insulting them.

Annette though, Felix is the one who purposely finds her to spend time with her and does not put up a wall around her. Annette is a bit of a ditzy loser tbh but their dynamic is cute due to what she does to Felix. I think Annette makes Felix feel safe, which enables him to interact with her without his defense mechanism of being a huge bitch. I also dislike Annette's dynamic with all the other characters so it helps that she has a unique effect on Felix.

My pairings are prob gonna be
Byleth/Dimitri
Ingrid/Sylvain
Ashe/Mercedes (I hate Mercie but they cook together and it's nice)
Catherine/Shamir

Not sure who I'm gonna recruit, Dorothea has been a useful mage and I read she gets a good ending with Petra so might bring them both on board. I'm open to recs on who to recruit!

I don't play videogames too much so my selection is limited, but it's been almost exactly two years since I've played Lisa the Painful and it's left a surprisingly strong mark in my memory. I watched someone's playthrough of the game and it just reawakened how much I loved it. I wish the fandom was bigger so that I'd have a place to sperg about it, but at this point the fandom is pretty much dead. Not to be that person, but I feel like the game has a few similarities to Undertale so I'm surprised as to why the game isn't nearly as popular (maybe that's a good thing though).

On an unrelated note, I finally bought a Nintendo Switch and want to start playing all the JRPGs I missed out on as a kid. There are so many options I can think of like Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, etc. that I don't really know what game I should buy first! Any reccs would be appreciated.

I think we have really opposite tastes when it comes to the characters lol, I love Mercedes For example. I like Annette and Felix a lot, but when they're together in their supports they're so boring. I don't know if you're aware of it but be careful if you want specific pairings for the epilogue, it's not like in Awakening and Fates where you can pick and choose thanks to the S rank supports for everyone. It's automatic, there's a system with points and some pairings have more maximum points than others. In the BL route if you max out everyone's support points and don't marry anyone you'll have pairings like Dimitri/Dedue or Sylvain/Felix be the default because they have more points together than, say, Annette/Dedue or whatever. It's kinda hard to explain but because of that if you change your mind at the end of the game and want Byleth to marry Dedue or Ashe or anyone else, some of the characters' priority list will change. But it's not an important gameplay feature like in Awakening and Fates so whatever.

>>99139
I just got my own Switch and I already play JRPG since forever so I'm kinda biased, but I'd say, just try free demos and see what you think about it. There's no Xenoblade demo so I'm hesitating a lot for this series myself, but I can tell you that so far you have free demos for Trials of Mana, Dragon Quest 11, Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default 2. I think for all of them you can use the saved data for the full game later if you like them and buy them so it's not even a waste of time. I've heard the DQ11 demo is like 10h long too.

Do you see why the game is not popular with weebs? It's unpleasant and hard-hitting, and not even in the escapist way Undertale's genocide route is. You don't get too feel bad about murdering cutesy uwu characters. Everyone in Lisa is a shit person and the world is horrible as well.
Both Lisa and Undertale are inspired by Earthbound/Mother (I would say Undertale downright rips off the writing when it comes to humor which made me dislike the game immediately) and have some meta elements, but they are very different tonally.

She seriously sees no foul in what she's doing and the game clearly is like "This is a normal reaction not a psychopath lookit her throw the ball for the dog that Ellie will kill later! See she's so nice!!!" While acting like Ellie is a monster when she's having severe reactions to the killing even throwing up at one point from it.

Demographics-wise nearly half of gamers are women. It's not that there aren't enough female gamers, it's that they aren't coming here. It's expected that women online are wary of chans, the incels that harass us usually hail from chans themselves so the concept of an anon website can be scary.

LC being a chan primarily to stalk and talk shit about, well, lolcows doesn't help. Women that might be interested in a female imageboard are probably diven off by the main use of this site. I'm personally not bothered by it and I like keeping up with some of the cows but I would have written this place off a long time ago if I only heard about it as a place to "bully" people like chris chan.

It's pretty accurate but women are less likely to interact with the gamer community because of it's bad reputation; additionally it's true a lot of female gamers are playing games that are not necessary what's widely discussed in gaming themed places, and I don't necessary mean it's mobile games or The Sims series here - although it's true, these are popular with female customers - but for example the indie games scene, which is always heavily overshadowed by people discussing the newest update to most popular competitive shooters and so on, which type of game tends to attract a predominantly male audience, even though of course there are women playing these too.

You can choose to not believe it but both public and some internal data I've seen while working at certain studios point to gamers being extremely diverse. It's on its way to becoming just like cinema, anyone and everyone will be at least casually interested in some gaming in the future.

You not running into many female gamers is likely a mix of women preferring to stay out of toxic communities (lots of female gamers actually use private discord servers that are properly-moderated to avoid incels) and also you potentially looking to discuss games that specifically have more men playing them. Sucks that scrotes continue to bully women for merely enjoying the same hobby as them but that's a whole other topic.

a shitton of women are into anime, Disney, movies or music (the most normie interests), hell even fashion and yet those topics get minimal traffic here. Why? Because lolcow is a tiny imageboard that has barely any active users. There are rarely 2 posters around interested in the same specific thing at the same time. Using lolcow to prove how many women gamers are is useless. With your logic one could argue that women don't watch movies at all compared to men just cause lolcow is no match for a 4chan.

I haven't finished it yet but so far the story seems pretty bare bones – the player character is an amnesiac so you mostly just have vague goals and no explanation for them at the beginning. the setting and atmosphere are the parts that really shine. Just wandering around, looking for stashes and avoiding radiation has been pretty fun and sometimes spooky. I also like that you can do quests for an npc, save them from dying, learn their name and befriend them, and then stumble on their body an hour later because they got mauled by dogs or something. really gets across how unforgiving The Zone is.

Right now I'm near the end of FF10 and just entered Zanankard. I'm pissed that I can only have access to the airship near the end of the game because that means I have to wait way too long for to do some of the side quests and optional battles. I'm not going to 100% the game though because that sounds like a huge chore.

The Blair Witch game is creepy and is okay as far as survival horror goes; I love that you have a dog, made me think of Clock Tower and Haunting Ground. The dog is also super useful to you–he alerts to enemies, finds items (of course) and instead of a HUD he'll basically lead you through the map if you get really stuck. It looks cool, the artists did a good job of making the trees look like bones and weird creatures. There are some cool mechanics that come straight from the recent sequel–you can look at the monsters through your camera, and there's also a way to rewind reality by using special tapes–but there were too many parts of the game where it turned into a walking simulator that went on for too long. I liked it but ultimately it made me want to play older games, tbh.

Why would I be bitching now about TLOU 2 and paying to play it just to be disappointed like an idiot when everyone saw from the first trailer it's going to be stupid pandering shit 80% of all western AAA games have been, the rest are just e-sport games for normies.

>good ending
I've been thinking about how I always look up endings and get the one I want and how it kind of fucks up the experience. I tend to not replay games so I'm worried about missing out on an item or an ending and I end up making the whole thing a chore by going online constantly. I think I'm gonna stop doing that shit and just play without being such a neurotic mess. Last game I went in totally blind and didn't look up a guide for was Obra Dinn and it felt amazing.

FOMO is so damn stupid. If I miss out I miss out. I can always go on youtube to see the routes I didn't take.

Bayo is super fun, I hope you get around to playing it! If you ever play and end up enjoying the gameplay, you might wanna check out Devil May Cry (not the Ninja Theory reboot though).

You wouldn't be told to get the fuck out if you don't make shit about east vs west like you just did anon.

Bayonetta is fantastic!! You'll have a great time.
I second the Devil May Cry recommendation but I believe the Ninja Theory reboot is far better choice than the original games for a person who is not familiar with the franchise. Gameplay wise they're all fun and fast paced, but Ninja Theory's reboot does outstanding job with the environment visuals, which you'll not have to this extent in the other DMC games.

it's not a bad place to start if you've never played a character action game before. it's definitely better than DMC2 lol. the gameplay like other anons have said is far superior in the main series though (the weapons in the reboot also suck imo). Plus Dante and Vergil are both really really lame in the reboot and Kat is a 2D nothing character.

No. 99391

"Simplified" does kind of equal "bad" for this genre. Combat depth is the whole point of a stylish action game like this. Bayonetta is already the casual version, if she ends up playing and finishing Bayo she can move on to play a more challenging version that is equally zany and fun but with more combat depth.

DmC offers nothing on that front, takes its own edge way too seriously and has worse gameplay.

Anon, please feel free to sperg about Lisa. I truly loved the Painful and enjoyed the Joyful, and I found it resonated with me a lot more than Undertale (I found the meta aspects of Undertale tiring).

Ugh god bless you anon. I played Undertale first because a friend recommended it to me. I thought it was fun, but I didn't really get that attached to the characters so I couldn't get into the fandom hype. I played Lisa the Painful because I saw it mentioned briefly in a Youtube video. I went in pretty much blind as to what to expect. A month later I finished the Joyful as an emotional mess (the "fight" with Brad…) and was incredibly attached to all of the characters.

I had Olan, Nern, and Beastborn as my final party. I kind of gave Terry away in the beginning (oops lol). I wish I tried harder to recruit more party members because I feel like I missed out, especially with Bo! I finished Joyless with one arm, but they really should have a unique achievement for a Joyless and armless playthrough- especially for a game that rewards players based on how much pain they go through lol.

I'm not sure why this game had such an impact on me. I've played quite a few games since then, but no vidya makes me comfier (or more of a sperg) than Lisa. Would love to know your thoughts and experiences with the game, anon! Why did you end up playing it and what aspects really resonated with you?

No. 99426

NTA but I wish Lisa was ported to Switch. I played it a few years ago during a shitty time in my life, but never finished it as my laptop died. I wanna finish it (as well as play the sequel and fangames), but I hate playing on the computer. It makes it very hard for me to focus on the game.
It's a shame that I lost all my saves because I was halfway through.
I agree with you about Undertale. I found the game so preachy I did not give a single fuck about the characters (even though usually I make the good choices as I don't want to make the NPCs unhappy). I murdered Toriel because she annoyed me so bad and shut the game. Fuck you, you uwu piece of shit and fuck you Toby Fox into attempting to force me to feel bad about a bunch of pixels 'dying' when you programmed it into the game in the first place. All the meta aspects drew my attention to the fact that none of this shit is real, instead of the opposite. I gave Undertale another shot, but never went past the Undyne battle.

Hi anons! I've always been interested in playing Harvest Moon ( the story of seasons (?) Ik theres some dev issues happened to this game that main dev started making another one by new name or something like that )
but I do not know which game would be a good one for first time experience. Idm if its the new Story of seasons game or og Harvesr Moon one.

No. 99447

>>99433
Older harvest moon games are better, imo. OG friends of mineral town is very well loved but I haven't played it myself so idk how much is just nostalgia. If you need something a bit more streamlined/hand-holding as an introduction to the series then tale of two towns is kind of an inbetween of the older games and story of seasons ones, if you can get past the gimmick of having to focus on either vegetables or livestock for the first couple of years.

No. 99476

>>99426
ntayrt, I'm >>99425, but I also felt the same way about Undertale! It was fun, but I thought the 'message' was stupid. The whole time it felt as if the game was shoving into my face "look how different these characters are! they're sympathetic instead of one-dimensionally evil! look how different this game is! your actions actually have consequences!"

Like who cares if vidya NPCs are one-dimensional and only exist for the player's selfish wish fulfillment? Isn't that the whole point of videogames? When I'm fighting NPCs for exp, I don't care whether they have sympathetic motivations or not when they're not even real. It's not revolutionary to point out how videogame dynamics don't translate well into reality. If I want to be an opportunistic, selfish asshole in a game, I obviously know that I can't act that way real life. Toby thinks he's being deep but anyone with a brain (or over the age of 18) realizes this without needing to have it pointed out to them.

To go back to Lisa, I think the game does a really good job of making you actually feel bad when you do something selfish without forcing it in your face. That's why the decisions you make in the game are so painful even if they really have no bearing in real life. I didn't give a fuck when I killed Toriel, but when a party member died in Lisa I was always pretty devastated lol. It's a shame the game isn't ported to the Switch, because I think it would translate to a handheld console really well. Wishful thinking, but maybe if we tweet at Austin enough he'll do it kek.

A good friend of mine recommended Lisa to me because he knows I love Mother 3 and Yume Nikki, and thought I would like Austin's unpolished art style as well. I bought it and played it right around the time Undertale was coming out, and I'm really glad I played Lisa first. I really like the amount of options the game presents you with, even though the story itself is quite linear. I wasn't expecting so many side quests in an indie rpg for some reason, so I spent a lot of time exploring Olathe and trying to find different guys to recruit. The atmosphere is great, going from giving me a sense of adventure to feeling complete and utter dread, like that one wallpapered hallway that leads to a room full of meat(?). I also think the options of sacrificing Brad's arms, choosing to use Joy or not gives the game a lot of replay value.

I adore the cast, and think Austin did a great job portraying love, guilt, and trauma, that drive Brad as a character. I can't say I dislike everyone, and love how flawed everyone is. Everyone just kind of sucks and there's no real sense that one character is truly morally superior to another? I know the script isn't anything that deep, but pic related has really stuck with me lol

I also really liked how at certain points, you can't control Brad when it comes to him slipping to a Joy withdrawl. I felt helpless in some situations and didn't care what happened in others, because sometimes seeing Brad wail on a "bad" dude was cathartic. I think that was an interesting choice as far as gameplay goes.

I also gave Terry away in the beginning! I immediately felt awful afterwards though, so I made sure to let him live in my second playthough. >>99476 As you say here, the game does an amazing job of making you feel bad by doing very little instead of having a character come on screen and tell you that the character you killed had a family, or you're a bad person for letting them die. I don't need to be told I'm a bad person, I should have that feeling organically or not. The script shouldn't have to tell me how I should be feeling.

>>99426 I would love a Lisa port to switch too. I hope one comes out so you'll have a chance to finish the game! I agree with out on the meta aspects being distracting. Toby Fox is constantly shoving the fact that you're playing a game in your face rather than you naturally becoming engrossed in the story.

You can have all the cutesy uwu furry characters you want, but none of them warmed my heart like a Rando did.

SMT3 is getting a remaster for the Switch and PS4 with Raidou replacing Dante (so it's more accurate to call it a remaster of SMT3 Maniax) and there's a new trailer for SMT5. Literally the only good news I've received this year, holy fuck.

I do have a copy of SMT3 for the PS2 but I barely tried it because of my lack of time to play it back when I bought it, I don't know if I should try to get one of the normal endings and then get the remaster and get the longer route.

I'm like 99% sure that's a guy, he has a male school uniform, even if it's not a very realistic one.

I think it's already good enough that this proves the first trailers from 2017 weren't just for show. I think with how consoles are nowadays devs need to take more time to develop their games, so I'd rather just wait until we get more info and a well made game rather than yearly half-assed released like with Pokémon.

>>99862
Yeah, I feel like being able to choose between a male or female protagonist wouldn't change anything and would be just a slight change of character design, unlike in Persona where that could give you new or different social links and love interests. That would still be cool if we could get a female protagonist someday but that would just be a small bonus imo. I think the girl who's with the protag in the first trailers will be the heroine and be as important as him but will be able to talk, just like Hitomi/Nemissa in Soul Hackers or Asahi in SMT4A, but who knows.

>>99908 The big differences gameplay wise are 1) the social sim stuff in persona is almost comepletely absent in the main smt series.
2)You negotiate with demons, like you can in p5, but in SMT games you can actually recruit demons as party members and fuse them into more powerful demons. In fact, recruiting demons is essential as human party members are either few in number, temporary, or nonexistent depending on the game. 3) The SMT games have a reputation of being really difficult, but tbh it depends on which game your playing. The later games even have adjustable difficulty levels and the option to save wherever you want.

Not only is it not even a bad thing if there's transphobia in video games but that's not even the case here. It's just people arguing that a trans character isn't pictured as absolutely perfect by their own crazy criteria despite the fact that said character is a very incredibly flattering representation of trans women compared to how they're like irl and that's despite "her" having sex with a guy without telling him anything

>>99908
What that anon said is accurate >>99913 but I also wanted to add that the atmosphere and stories in mainline SMT games is different from how Persona 3, 4 and 5 are (and even 1 and 2 but they're not as popular so I'm assuming you haven't played them.) Persona as a whole is about teenagers trying to prevent bad things from happening, including the apocalypse, while generally most SMT games take place during or after the apocalypse and instead of being urban fantasies, they're more cyber punk. And you have several endings too. If you have a 3DS you should try SMT4, and if you like that one then play the sequel, SMT4 Apocalypse. And SMT Strange Journey is counted as part of the mainline series if you like both games.

Spoilers ahead the pink haired character, Rin, is a gay crossdressing man, just an very effeminate one. Because of how the game was advertised retards thought he was supposed to be trans but no. The actual transwoman is Erica, born Eric, and people are mad that there are hints here and there that she's trans before it's actually confirmed in the credits and one of the endings.

He's as likable or unlikable as you make him, his responses are the result of your choices.

There are a couple linear choices he makes but depending on what road you take, they are forgiven. He's a flawed character for sure but human.

It is a sexually charged game, not particularly fanservice though. The game is inherently sexual, it's a story about a man cheating and what he does about it, it HAS to be sexual. If you choose the sexy character, she will send you lewds, if you choose the cool character, you will reminisce about your long term relationship.

None of the people from VtM:B are involved with this project.
From the previews and demos the game looks bleak as hell, empty streets, no ambience, stiff character models.
There's also this:
>Throughout the project, the VFX team has been very small. There have been times when no one was working on FX at all! We’ve had some talented people come and go from the project, and the final result is a blend of everyone who has touched Bloodlines 2. At our height, working with outsourcing partners, we had 7 VFX artists working full time on the project, but for the majority of the time it has been a single VFX artist with Tech-Art support. (Hiring VFX artists is hard!) We’re very proud of what we’ve been able to achieve given the limited resources we had throughout the project.

Anyway, we can still enjoy Bloodlines, which is still one of the best videogames ever made.

Nope, go for it. VtM:B is one hell of a ride, enjoy it.
Remember to torrent the game, because Activision a shit that fucked over the devs big time and deserves no money, and - very important - install wesp5's unofficial patch. During installation don't click on the plus patch, just go with the "basic" one, at least for your first run.
It's also advisable imo that you don't play as Malkavian for your first run. It might be a bit confusing, plus Malk is more enjoyable after you've already beaten the game once, since you'll be able to put the pieces together and realize how prophetic the voices were.

Found where they were discussing it. Essentially they're whining about mental illness portrayal and how it was bad in the first game despite the whole point of the Malks were they looked too far and it scrambles their brains and is more akin to madman's knowledge in Bloodborne. Writer even states he's channeling his woke shit in his work cause he doesn't like the political climate of US. Boy I can't wait for this to be a repeat of TLoU2.

Lmfao, it's as if he didn't get the point of Malks at all. "Fishmalk" is an endearing term, and Malkavians are always in the top three of the most beloved clans. Everyone got the memo that their madness is actually wisdom. Malks know all the answers, but not the questions, and that's why they sound incoherent.
It's also pretty funny of him to say "N-NOO, DON'T MAKE JOKES ABOUT MALK MADNESS THAT'S A FALSE STEREOTYPE" when the Malkavian in the trailer is shown as a psycho murderer who made mannequins out of corpses.

Honestly? I think his only understanding of Malks is Therese who had prior mental illness from childhood trauma and developed Jeanette as a coping mechanism. He's inflating that backstory as all Malks backstories. Therefore is being triggered by nothing but making it a big deal.

Friend gifted Wow time to me recently and gotta say I can't see how they stay afloat or appear to a Chinese crowd given a good portion of their gaming plays itself. Latest brilliant idea was to 'streamline' portaling by taking it out of each expansion hub and only in starting area. So you now have an extra step of going there from wherever you are just to take another portal where you want to go. I know they are struggling but purposely making your already majorly outdated game more clunky just seems stupid on a whole other level.

it’s been taking me a while to get through my first playthrough of P5 since I haven’t had much free time BUT I have to say it’s making me realize how insufferable the P4 characters were. Yosuke… Chie… fucking Yukiko and her laugh… that cast seems especially shrill and annoying in comparison

Like. we had Teddie, an obnoxious pervert bear that unnecessarily turned into a bishie and sounds like he was voiced by Josh Gad/Olaf. whereas P5 has given me Morgana, the cutest little guy who makes me feel blessed simply seeing his little head poking out of our backpack or desk. I am not even a little mad when he makes me sleep after a full day of plot because I’m like… okay that’s fine I WILL trigger the animation of me curling up on the bed with you. lately when I’m feeling low I put on clips of him dancing and set it to various cute songs to spike my serotonin levels

Honestly the voice acting didn't bother me that much. I think for its time it was ok, it's not like it's on the level of Sonic Adventure 2 where I can't even describe what's wrong with its voice acting in English, the list is too long lol. When Lulu showed up and talked for the first time her kinda raspy voice sounded familiar and then I learned she's the same voice actress as Camilla in FE Fates (and only the original, it's someone else in the FE spinoffs), no wonder she kind of sounded like a grandma at times.

>My favorite lineup was Auron the DILF samurai, Wakka the chad baller and of course Yuna for healing and summoning

I like Auron a lot and he's very useful with his debuff skills but by the end of the game I completed his part of the sphere grid and he was so slow he was borderline useless against the final boss. I like using Rikku a lot, when she joined the team I thought she was going to be too weak to be useful but her overdrive is insane once you get good items. I heard Wakka has some of the best overdrives but you get them by winning blitzball tournaments and fuck blitzball.

P5 is the only Persona game I've played and I feel like if I picked up P4 now I'd just be underwhelmed. Not implying that it's a bad game but pretty much almost any jrpg pre-P5 pales in comparison. People can hate on the story and the cast all they want but they can't deny that the game is peak performance with gameplay, dungeon layout, soundtrack, graphics and interface design. It all just works together so well that picking up pretty much any RPG after it feels like a bargain bin experience.

But anyway I always wonder how much a shitty English dub affects a person's opinion on a game. I always play with the original Japanese audio and even before dual audio became a thing I got the hacked undub patch because I'm ESL and don't have the internalized need for dubs. I once saw clips of P4 with the dub and almost ended up projectile vomiting all over the walls, how anyone can stand engdubs is beyond me. You really want to hear Johnny Yong Bosch and Crispin Freeman half-heartedly voicing every character ever created?

Same for me, I found the P4 cast endearing and they acted like actual friends. I also liked how the P3 cast was just cold to each other until Yukari tells everyone that they're a bunch of retards, that Mitsuru is hiding important stuff from everyone, and how everyone slowly became close friends after that and a bunch of events later. Unpopular opinion, I don't like Aigis because she feels really out of place for being a kawaii robot waifu obsessed with (you) when the rest of the cast is way more normal and relatable, and while Yukari is written to kinda be the MC's counterpart/love interest, she isn't attached to his hips 24/7

But the P5 cast was kinda disappointing, I haven't finished the game but I don't really plan to because I was playing at a friend's home. I didn't like how the first arc was so good, the characters were so interesting and the stakes felt personal for everyone involved, and then the rest of the game becomes a parody of itself, the cast feels too bloated and Morgana is just bootleg!Teddie without the fun or interesting parts. He's just there to be a cute mascot.

I'm ESL too and try to play games with the original voice acting whenever possible. I played P4G on the PSVita but I've been told P4G on Steam has both the English and the Japanese voice acting options if you're interested.

>that picking up pretty much any RPG after it feels like a bargain bin experience.

lol let's not get ahead of ourselves, P5 has so many cutscenes and moments where the game prevents you from actually playing (either telling you to go to sleep or telling you in the middle of a dungeons to leave when you're having fun fighting shadows/demons) that it becomes obnoxious really fast. I don't dislike it but it's not for everyone and when I want to actually play a JRPG that's similar I just go back to mainline SMT or other megaten spinoffs.

It's always funny to me to see people shit on Fortnite so hard like their reputation depends on bashing it every time it's mentioned. It's not a game for everyone, but it's fun, it's addictive, it's simple but well designed, it has it's own very clear visual identity, so by no means it's a bad game. Just not everyone's cup of tea.

The reason why Persona 5 was such a great game was that I've played so many rpgs in my life and been lamenting how the quality had dropped like a rock in the 2010's with subpar soundtracks and boring dungeons in particular. P5 absolutely rejuvenated the genre for me and the 10 years of development definitely show on the screen for me personally. Playing other games of the same era after finishing a run of P5 feels like they aren't trying as hard and are only checking things off the lists. I'm really hoping for other developers to follow the set example.

Me! I am a huge HM/SoS fan and was really excited for this remake. I like it so far, but a few things make it really difficult for me to thoroughly enjoy the game. I don’t like the graphics, it looks like a polished mobile game and especially the characters walking around look so ugly. I am not even against the chibi style (MM is one of my favorite games of the series), it just looks so cheap, especially for a Switch game! The drawn character portraits are cute imo, some just are too far away from the originals like Popuri and Karen.

The other thing I dislike is how quickly the time goes by. It doesn’t give me enough time to enjoy the game and my daily chores, it puts constant pressure on me and I always feel stressed when running from A to B to get something done before it is 5PM. This is a farming/dating simulator ffs, not Majora’s Mask. I wish there was an item to slow down time. I also wish there still were rival marriages. And after playing ACNH, some things are a bit underwhelming in general. I understand why a HM/SoS game does not have graphics as polished as Animal Crossing, but also things like fishing that AC or even older console HM games get right are boring in this remake.

I do like the simplicity of the game a lot and enjoy the usual things like farming, cute animals, story events and the general atmosphere. I am glad there is a proper mine again, because while I loved the newer SoS games, they did lack a lot from the originals.

I guess I am very ready for a proper console Story of Seasons and I hope they are working on one. I wish they would make a game like Animal Parade again.

As someone who played a lot of jrpgs, P5 isn’t a good one. Its presentation is amazing and the ost is one of my favorites (though, it has less tracks than other persona games. A shame.) but the story is botched in its second half, Haru is there being nothing other than a new addition to the team and nothing more of substance, the whole cast is either dumb or annoying most of the time and the battles are easy (even on the highest difficulty).
Royal added a new female character (which is actually nice but a tiny bit too ‘perfect waifu material’ to sell the game) and a new dungeon with Akechi, also a nice addition… and i have to admit, the dungeon crawling isn’t repetitive (except for mementos) and is actually a big step compared to the other games but the message delivered by the story is watered down so much and the cast is so irritating (except maybe for the boy Yusuke and maybe a bit Ann) i can’t say P5 is the best jrpg i’ve ever played.
It’s a good jrpg but i have to laugh when i see people claiming it’s the best. It’s overrated as fuck. Love it all you want i don’t care but claiming people are exaggerating when they’re bashing the game rightfully so, after paying and playing it, is also a bit much in my book.

Like it more for the aesthetics and atmosphere than the actual gameplay. Some sections really dragged and the interesting mini-games like the radula rooms and the chess were too infrequent.

I agree with a lot of what the 2nd anon said, the time is really annoying and I do wish it was a lot slower. Sometimes I stand in buildings where time freezes just to relax cause I feel like I'm having to run everywhere and not stop.

Animal Parade has my favourite art style out of all of the games, I wish they'd put it on the switch or something.
