Does anybody here play fighting games? What fighting games do you play? What's your region? Want to play together?
I play nearly everything on PC and a few on xbox
Excited for the upcoming usf4

I've always loved Tekken but I suck at pretty much any other fighting game.
Growing up reading the Official PlayStation Magazine, they always used the term “Beat 'Em Up” for fighting games like Tekken, SF, MK etc. but more recently in other places I've seen that only used for games like Streets Of Rage where you fight lots of enemies. I wonder if that's a UK/US thing?
idk where im from tekken is called a fighter and streets of rage is balled beat em up
I play Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2(the Wii version) and I think that getting used to that game kind of makes you retarded at the next one due to how little but significant the differences in movement mechanics are. It sucks too, since it feels so clean but has far worse AI than its sequel.
Fighting EX Layer is the best, followed closely by Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2
Reina in Tekken 8 is a demoness.

I have been playing sf6 with some friends recently, we roped a guy who just played for honor to try it and he's been raging about drive rush and grabs.
Personally I have been enjoying it more than sf4/5. I hope Dan/Oro/Sakura make it back it, but I wouldn't be sad if none of them make it back for this iteration. I have been liking this direction of adding characters from other fighting games though.
Is there any character anyone is hoping for Sf6, or any other fighting game?
I've started making an effort to get better at Smash if anything. Unforunately I'm a massive bellend with a brain the size of a squirrel's, so I can know I'm going to get punished for doing something and not be able to imagine any alternate path, resigning myself to my fate.

Just talk about whatever game you're playin, want to play, want to buy, what you just bought - whatever.
Just a nice, lazy places to spout random crap about games.
been playing atlyss recently
finally able to play as big booty fur creature (chubby)
(・∀・)
Finished the higurashi question arcs!!! Gonna start playing the answer arcs pretty soon.
Also bought valkyria chronicles a few days ago.
5 bucks well spent, that game is incredible, probably in the top 5 of
The strategy rpgs in all time. Plus the girls are cute in it.
Got addicted to Elona again.
Working my way through the main quest in Custom-GX with a Pianist. Just today, I finally grinded out enough small medals to replace my pet little girl with a catsister.
I'd like to try out the Omake Overhaul mod, but it can't upscale the window like Custom-GX which is annoying, and there's also some kind of locale issue on newer versions of Windows that results in JP text randomly not being displayed. You're even more screwed if you don't know any Japanese, because while someone made a translated version of it back in 2017, all the links for it are long dead.
Funny thing, while looking at Japanese wiki comments I saw people bemoaning that Custom is the most popular mod lineage outside Japan (apparently they feel that the mod creator disrespected Noa), unable to comprehend why it wasn't Omake. Maybe translate it for starters?
I got Juiced 2 on PS2 just because you can get my car in it :3 It's kind fun, only cost me £3
Yesterday I was in CEX and got a PS2 game I'd never heard of, called “Whirl Tour”. Looking at the back cover, it looks like a scooter extreme sports game, but with enemies to hit? I finished Razor Freestyle Scooter back in the day so that's why I was interested. It was £2! I'm about to play it now.
A funny thing about Razor Frestyle Scooter was you could unlock UFC fighter Tito Ortiz as a playable character. I didn't know who that was at the time.
I'm tired of people making new games as if Sonic Adventure 2 Battle doesn't already exist.
Some furry on Youtube did a pistol only run of STALKER: CoS where he absolutely refused to get in their faces to make the most out of his low accuracy, so I didn't feel bad for him when it stopped functioning all together. How the fuck do you struggle on Agroprom? There's ample cover all throughout the map, just let the NPCs cover you sprint to the closest cover low-crawl and go for headshots; don't hide like a faggot in the back and fight at the medium range mercs want you to.
I appreciate how tight the movement in CoS feels for lack of a better word. Just that simple difference in the crouches makes you feel like you're hugging cover for dear life, popping out hoping to get a second's opportunity to move. Little things like that.
Me and my friends were talking about a game but couldn't remember what it was. It's a game like GTA or Driver where you drive around a city, but instead of getting out of the car and running around, you change car by sort of possessing them, like a spectral orb flies to the new car. I'm going to play The Getaway on PS2 for the first time today, I can't think of other possibilities. Can you?
Share your instances where bugs/oversights in a game let you cause something funny to happen, whether beneficial to the player or just silly. (Looking for stuff that's presumably unintentional, rather than clearly deliberate cheats / Easter Eggs that happen to be funny, though I suppose that could be fodder for another thread.)
Jazz Jackrabbit 2
In the part where a witch turns you into a frog and you have to get the Princess to kiss you to transform back, there's a split second moment after activating the kiss animation that you still have character control. You can use this to turn yourself around so that it looks like the Princess kisses the frog on the butt instead of on the face.
Crusade (AGT text adventure)
In this game, there are some events that can cause you to break your leg, which means wasting a bunch of turns unable to do most actions while you wait for it to heal. In the AGT version, at least, perhaps because of vagaries of the AGT system, the "broken leg" is handled as an object that's put into your inventory when the injury happens and removed again when it heals. The developer was smart enough to recognize that the player might try to "DROP LEG" and prevent them from doing so, but forgot that "THROW LEG" is also part of the standard AGT command kit and didn't add any special exception to that. So you can break your leg, throw the broken leg out of your inventory, and go about your merry way as if it never happened.
Spear of Destiny: Return to Danger / Ultimate Challenge
It's well-known among the Wolf3D fandom that these mission packs redid the sprites and audio for the enemies, despite them mostly still being the same things as before, but one change in particular leads to some rather funny unintended consequences: the SS officer's "Mein Leben!" death cry was swapped for "Tod fürs Vaterland!" but because the Wolf3D sound code is kind of lousy and tends to cut off the digitized sounds a lot, coupled with the heavily bitcrushed audio files, he semi-frequently sounds as if he's just saying a Homer Simpson "Doh!" when killed.
Couldn't deal with /vg/ any longer so I decided to discuss this game here. My main question is which will happen first: Temmie becoming part of the main plot or MK actually being given a personality through the church chapter.
Would you have liked Chapter 2 more if instead of Susie having a complete 180, she had a resentment towards Berdly for his obvious dickishness(that wouldn't be softened up like it was in canon) that eventually boiled over into a physical confrontation, but she had built up a real friendship with Noelle far earlier in the chapter and because of that let him go? I think there was a lot there in the "holds back her violent urges for the sake of her friends" theme that was demonstrated in Chapter 1, and it would have led better into that hypothetical Catti encounter I so strongly believe is inevitable.
>Susie kaiju
Would it be somewhat like the Mario and Luigi: Dream Team battles in execution(Kris having to collaborate with her attacks) or just a repeat of the Punch-Out formula from Chapter 2?
Easily one of my favorite parts of Papyrus is his tacit acceptance of whatever his brother has going on, without even attempting to understand it anymore.
>AH YES, MY BROTHER.
>TENDS TO TELEPORT AROUND WITHOUT WARNING,
>HAS MASTERED SLACKING OFF SO EXPERTLY THAT HE SLACKS OFF ON THE JOB BY GETTING ANOTHER JOB,
>AND HAS PLANNED ELABORATE JOKES THAT TRANSCEND THE FABRIC OF SPACE AND TIME BASED ON A PLAN HE REFUSES TO TELL ME ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING ABOUT.
>WHAT OF HIM?
Toby knows Papyrus is one of his best characters and that's why he's been putting so much mystery around him
you are filled with.. DETERMINATION
>>17
I don't know if it was an intentional reference or not but for some reason Trunks "I'm filled with determination!" as a transformation line in Sparking Zero.
At the current point in the story, Susie doesn't do much more than act as Kris' dog. They point, she reacts. Someone disrespects them, she attacks. She's a minor player in most of the scenes we see her in during the Hometown segment.
Alphys really thinks that some human dick/minge is all it took to pacify Susie and that's hilarious to me
This is either a hot take or a very cold one, but I don't care for Deltarune for the story, mostly because it doesn't exist?
In comparison to Undertale where there was an overarching plotline surrounding your journey and actions, Deltarune's feels shallow and inconsequential, and its mostly just a collection of gags and short-term "encounters" that you experience once and instantly stops being of relevance, yeah there are the more complex side stories (like Spamton), but those don't matter either on account of being too small to be relevant.
Yes I know about snowgrave, thats pretty much a reboot of the genocide route that mostly threw subtlety out the window because no one got the original's message (the atrocities committed by the protagonist, is ultimately the fault of the player) and blamed everything on chara.
Deltarune's plotline feels like a simple game of DnD that no one takes too seriously (rather than a fleshed out plotline), and considering thats the surrounding theme I wouldn't be surprised if the shitty twist™© is that Deltarune is literally Kris and his friends sitting down playing a tabletop game.
Anyway sorry for the rant, I can't wait for the wave of unironic edge that will come with chapter 3's evil route.
Damn, Kris, where the hell are we?
Kris: A textboard.
>>20
Yeah, I can see that interpretation, but I also think it's a tad too reductive. We've already had a decent amount of suspense set up in this first two chapters(Kris' struggle to regain autonomy, Ralsei's ulterior motives, Noelle's thematic association with the angel and Roaring) and we haven't even begun to explore the second in that list.
I unironically think Jockington is the key to finding out whatever Ralsei's deal is; his lack of self-worth is single-minded and(to our knowledge) sincere whereas Ralsei's is at the very least incomplete. Seeing someone, especially a Lightner who fully accepts the role a Darkner "should" be in would scare the shit out of him, and get him to drop that mask for a split second.
If Toby never approaches that THEN I'm willing to call him a hack but it's just too soon.
hi i want to play mahjong whit people and i dont know where are any game about it
mahjongsoul.game.yo-star.com/
Make a post in the current thoughts thread on DQN next weekend, I'm busy until then.
Mahjong soul is probably the best EN client around in terms of helpful interface, providing teaching and info, and having an active playerbase. The theming can be a plus or minus depending on how much you like or dislike gacha games and anime waifus.
If you don't play on Mahjong Soul, other alternatives include:
huh, not sure what's up with that (seems to work for me?), maybe some sort of IP block on certain countries
where can i play Konami Mah-jong Fight Club?
sega net mahjong
this is a thread all about the pink puffball himself. favorite game? favorite copy ability? favorite or least favorite character? your dream kirby game? you can talk about anything related to the pink poyo ball of cuteness
Kirby is an embodiment of gluttony so why doesn't he eat humans? I feel that would be natural character progression for him. And not just humans or villains, but children too. I could imagine Kirby as a monsterous kaiju eating up vast parts of Akiba, from maid cafes and p0rn shops to average bypassers. Eventually the SDF is called to deal with him and he begins munching down on their tanks. He swells to such a size he finally swallows Sadoshima and suffers painful indigestion. Eventually, his body becomes so huge it cracks at the surface leading to plate tectonics and volcanoes erupting pink goo. A thread inspires a spin off game where the players take control of an elite team tasked with defusing a massive Kirby volcano. Think of it like Tron but dumber.
>>2
For record, I have never played a Kirby game but I would like to if OP can recommend me a title I can easily emulate and will be a lot of fun.
Kirby's Adventure on the NES is good, though my awareness of games in general is probably a bit NES-biased.
It's also on the easier side compared to what you might expect of an NES game, for better or for worse (although the "NES Hard" meme is a bit overexaggerated to begin with).
to be fair, he does eat people constantly, just not human people. what a scary thought though, just eating more and more of japan alive. imagine kirby eventually getting to his limit and exploding and a half-digested mixture of concrete, steel and flesh spilling out all over japan
if you can emulate wii, kirby's return to dreamland is really good, and so is kirby super star on the snes. i've heard good things about the 3ds games, but never have gotten the opportunity to play them, either on the original console or with an emulator.
>>5 as someone who's played both 3DS games, they're both good. Triple Deluxe is just more building off of RtD with the added bonus of a King Dedede mode, but Planet Robobot is the one where it really feels like HAL went all out; awesome pause screen lore, plenty of callbacks, a new Meta Knightmare mode AND Kirby has a fucking guren lagann mech that's so fucking cool
>>4
I have to thank you for recommending me this. I had some time to kill and spent an hour playing Kirby’s Adventure and it was fun.
I will never know as much joy in this fake and gay world ever again as I did playing that pink faggot's games
What special ability would kirby get if they swallowed you?
For me, it would be crippling depression
I have never played this game. I don't know which is the best version/translation.
>>2
2.0.2 version, i.e. the last version is the best, obviously. The only thing you'll be reading in Dream Diary are the 1-2 sentences long inventory item descriptions, so any translation is fine. Honestly, translation is a weird thing to be concerned with, as the original Yume Nikki also didn't have much text.
honestly, I've not picked this up despite being a big fan of the original and associated spinoffs. grounding the dreamlike vibes with higher fidelity, more text and a more linear sequence (or at least, that's what I seen when I looked into this 6 years ago) seemed like a step in the wrong direction. thanks for reminding me about it though, as I'll look into the music. was a big fan of all those yume nikki remixes back in the day
The name confuses me. Yume Nikki just means dream diary in Japanese. Yet this game is called Yume Nikki Dream Diary. Why did they go with such a stupid name?
>overhated
this game is underhated
If feels almost like what the writers were going for... they even implied christianism to be merely a tool of social control (the 'ethos')
Fuck off polnigger
I'm sure the Japanese share America's autistic obsession with da jooz
fuck outta here
idiotic
>>4 There's quite a lot of games and anime with the idea of a shadowy group pulling the strings behind the scenes. Which I would add doesn't need to be Jewish.
Post your most interesting discoveries in gaming.
It can be random shit off of itch.io or glorioustrainwrecks.com
It can be some extremely rare Japanese ps1 game
As long as not many people know about it
>>22 I've been looking to buy a copy for my girlfriend, it was her favourite game but she lost it
>>22
Yes! Multiple times, and I've 100%ed it too. It's a very special game to me, even if I can't in good conscience recommend it to others given how godawful the combat and gameplay is.
>>23
Good luck with that! Physical copies are extremely hard to get your hands on, but my ex managed to pull it off so you might too.

This might be the most obscure videogame possible (up until this article was written and the guy uploaded a ROM, anyway)
space station 13
Here are some weird obscure games for a obscure British PC called the Acorn Archimedes;
Big Bang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ6Ygd7q1KI
Revolver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTMW9HF2Ybs
Hamsters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlXJIECTJYE
They are all pretty fucking weird in their own rights.
I watched a playthrough of Iru! for the PS1 and it's kinda neat.
Lovecraft inspired walking sim with Twilight Syndrome vibes.
The reverence it has for Lovecraft's works makes it almost "canonical" in the sense that it's not 'loosely inspired' by the works like so many modern media, but takes efforts to be extremely accurate to the source material to a level I've not often seen, despite being set in a totally atypical location (Japanese school).
A while back I found a pretty obscure early 00's era Chinese game called Tien, which is a third-person 3D hacky-slashy type game I would loosely summarize as "a bit like Rune but Wuxia instead of Nordic". Seems to be built on the Lithtech engine. There's a version (no idea if official or a fan thing) where interface text is English at least. A real hidden gem.
>>28
I'm glad you realize "lovecraft inspired" is as meaningless as "earthbound inspired" in terms of video games
>>31
for sure, basically what I mean is "lovecraft inspired, no for real this time, like every character is fucking quoting paragraphs of Lovecraft's shit given any possible opportunity"
Does anyone here game in Linux at all? If so, what games do you run, native or emulated (Wine/Crossover), and where do you foresee the future of gaming on Linux?
Lately, I've been using Wine to play a handful of games. Right now I'm getting Skyrim onto this machine through Crossover. I think the future of gaming on Linux is going to start looking good, with Gabe Newell talking about Linux being the future of gaming and the soon to be unveiled "Steam Box", which has been rumored to run some variant of Linux (Probably Ubuntu)
Linux is useless for gaming you need openbsd
>Does anyone here game in Linux at all?
I do use my Linux machine from time to time to play games.
>If so, what games do you run, native or emulated (Wine/Crossover)
Mostly visual novels. Some of them I have bought from Steam and run them with Proton-GE, which is an improved version of Proton, that fixes a lot of stuff from upstream Proton. Planetarian, Rewrite, Clannad and Muv-Luv run perfectly fine with just that. Higuarashi and Narcissu 1&2 work also and do so natively. Other VNs such as Air, Tsukihime and Steins;Gate work with Wine. Renpy visual novels work flawlessly, but I haven't played them much. There is also on the Pirate Bay and Nyaa.si some guy, who created a series of torrents containing Flatpak installation files, which make installing those packaged VNs very easy. It's called "Flatpak-Novels".
>where do you foresee the future of gaming on Linux?
I think as time goes on, it will become more and more feasible and probably will be superior to Windows one day. I think in the foreseeable future Wine will be to Windows, what Dosbox is to MS-DOS - in the sense, that it will become a more practical and generally speaking better experience than on the original system, except for a few special use cases or nostalgia. Furthermore, I think Linux is already a very usable OS for gaming, but I think this will only improve over time.
So many retards wholeheartedly embracing Steam on Linux like it's a good thing, what a time to be alive.
>>27
Valve is the reason that AMD drivers don't suck dick anymore.
test
>"Linux is useless for gaming"
>recommends fucking OpenBSD
>>1 I get all my games from either Steam or itch. I always try to get a native Linux version, but the Windows games I play tend to work fine on wine or proton in 2024. Then again, I mostly play older games like Half-Life or Sonic Adventure, or indie pixelart games like A Space For The Unbound, Celeste or that schizophrenic milk girl VN. I'm not sure if fancy newer games work all that well.
