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.

>>201 I always took that as a deliberate idea of history repeating itself, the same events playing out in different contexts with different participants, as time spirals out. Each iteration has certain roles taken on by different characters, as you say - I always felt we were supposed to notice that events repeat themselves in each game, and the characters dutifully taking on their roles mostly don't realise their position in the bigger picture. There is an overarching story of the "deep state" Patriots orchestrating the events that unfold, each character playing their part. Snake and Otacon think they're stalking the Patriots, then find out they behaved exactly as the Patriots predicted they would when they lured them in. Raiden takes his mission seriously, but it's made obvious to the player that it is a simulation based on Snake's previous missions, and he is a puppet playing his part.

It makes me think of in the Bible how Judas betrayed Jesus for seemingly selfish reasons, but he was just playing the part he had to play for Jesus to be arrested and executed, in the divine plan to save humanity... or in the Bhagavad Gita when Krishna tells Arjuna that all humans are born to play the part He intended for them in his grand plan.

There was something else in the Japanese version which to me suggested the repitition of ideas and characters was deliberate. Certain characters are voiced by the same voice actress, which isn't the case in the English version, but my memory is a bit fuzzy on which ones...

Kojima just likes recycling scenes. Now that I think of it a lot of games from that era were the same. The first three Resident Evil games share virtually identical sequences too. Like the way all Star Wars movies have signiature set pieces. The real problem is how messy and convoluted the plot becomes. I took it as the Rashomon effect and postmodern hyperreality. Since the story is always revealed through different characters explanations and monologues, they are all just explaining their own subjective point of view and interpretation of what they think is really happening instead of objective reality. They are all more or less unreliable narrators.

But MGS4 is where things go wrong because it contradicts all the previous games on factual grounds. Solid Snake was killed off at the end of the tanker scenario in MGS2 and all the characters Raiden meets are revealed to be a simulation. But suddenly in MGS4 they're all back again and all of them are real and they're all related to people from MGS3. That one game just screws up the entire lore of the series.

I always thought the Patriots were basically a placeholder for the US shadow empire (the way Godzilla was used to represent nukes) and its schemes to manipulate and control the world rather than a Godlike entity that controls everything. Its more like samurai movies where there's this overarching idea of fate and humans (even powerful groups like the Patriots) are all foolish creatures playing games of power with each other that are doomed to fail while Heaven or Buddha silently watch. The only good guys are noble samurai regardless of whose side they are on.

>Solid Snake was killed off at the end of the tanker scenario in MGS2

I thought he survived, he's Pliskin in the Plant chapter? Which is a simulation, in the sense that a fire drill is a simulation, it's not just virtual reality. The characters he meets are simulations of the real ones we meet in MGS4? I really liked that about the MGS series, it makes you re-evaluate what you thought were “factual grounds”, and story is often told through the characters' own subjective interpretations.

At the end of the tanker chapter. Ocelot/Ray tears up the the tanker hold and sinks it. Snake was in the hold as it went down and made it to the surface but he couldn't have survived. Huge tankers that displace thousands of tons kill sailors by dragging them down as they sink. As they go under, water is sucked into the empty spaces of the ship dragging down anything nearby. Even the strongest swimmers can't resist those forces. Theres also Otacon screaming at the end. Snake couldn't have survived. Remember, the Plant chapter is a simulation. The Snake in the Plant sequence could just be simulated.

>The characters he meets are simulations of the real ones we meet in MGS4?
I don't see why they'd do that though. It would make sense to simulate Snake because in previous Metal Gear games, Snake has always been helped by a mysterious insider whose legendary identity is revealed at the end. Raiden looks up to him the way Snake looked up to Big Boss/Grey Fox. There isn't really a reason to simulate anyone else. If Solidus or Vamp were real people and the whole thing is a training exercise, what happens if Raiden runs into them IRL? If Snake really died during the tanker incident than it wouldn't be a problem. There's no chance of Raiden meeting him outside the simulation and freaking out. But if Solidus is a real person and he's really the President then that would make Raiden dangerous to his own.

>he couldn't have survived. Huge tankers that displace thousands of tons kill sailors by dragging them down as they sink.

He's Solid Snake! He's built different! I believe he did, and he was Pliskin.

The tanker really sank, and Big Shell was really built around it. The events and participants there were planned by the Patriots to recreate Shadow Moses, not so much as a training exercise for Raiden but to test the S3 plan, and how an individual can be manipulated with misinformation. This is done to Raiden and the player (even before the game was released, like how all the previews hyped up the return of Solid Snake, then it turns out he's a side character you only play as for a couple of hours). I think there's ambiguity around the word “simulation”, it's a simulation in the sense that it's staged, like how police might train in a simulated terror attack - not a computer simulation.

>>The characters he meets are simulations of the real ones we meet in MGS4?

My bad I was referring to the Colonel and Rose... they are AI chatbot versions of the versions we meet in MGS1 and 4. But Solidus, Vamp, Emma etc. are real and playing their part in the simulation. Remember Solidus raised Raiden as a child soldier and later orchestrated the events of MGS1 (getting Ocelot to convince Liquid to highjack REX). Raiden and Vamp are the same as the ones in MGS4, and Solidus's real body was recovered to rebuild Big Boss.

This morning I was playing Super Airwolf for the Mega Drive. In maybe 1997 I bought a copy from a pawn shop, but the cartridge was a weird shape, with ribbed ridges down the sides, and it didn't fit in my Sega. I never learned why, was it for a different model or something? Well I finally played it for the first time today, it's a pretty fun top-down scrolling shooter. The music's pretty good as well

Kojima got his idea of simulation from Baudrillard who was popular in Japan at the time. The idea is that simulation isn't a fake version of something real or a lie that hides the truth. Its a representation of an object that claims to be faithful but has no real connection to it. A simulation replaces the thing its supposed to represent. Porn is supposed to be raw uncensored real sex but nobody used to have sex like that irl. People end up modelling their meatspace sex lives on internet porn so it ends up becoming real or more accurately replacing what was real. Our ability to distinguish between real and artifical has broken down. The Big Shell incident is a staged event based on myths about Shadow Moses. Its designed to take rookies like Raiden and turn them into replacements for Solid Snake. All of the bosses, the bad guys, the mission profile are rough copies of MGS1. Its a meta commentary on gaming i.e. Konami will just pump out soulless Metal Gear clones that rehash the first game and the military will turn warfare into a game and use gaming to recruit mindless soldiers. The breakdown of our ability to distinguish truth and falsehood will make us easy to control through manipulating content.

This also means we don't know where the line between real and staged is in the game. For all we know, Snake/Pliskin, Otacon, EE etc are all actors and the big reveal at the end is part of the exercise. Its one of the what ifs of the game. Do Snake and Otacon actually interfere in the Patriots' simulation or are they just actors too?

>They already do that

Yeah I knew about that, I was meaning specifically like how in MGS1, Snake has direct one-to-one communication with the Colonel, then in MGS2 this role is replaced by an AI version of the Colonel. In real life, a human commanding officer can command his troop as a whole, but can't give every soldier his full attention at all times; if all of that officer's expertise and experience could be stored as an AI entity and each soldier had their own personal Colonel guiding them in real-time in battle, military operations would be more efficient...
We already have this happening with AI chatbots of famous figures, I wonder how long before individual real-life soldiers will be making decisions in the field based on AI guidance...
I'm stoned and I'm rambling hehe :P

The average soldier is pretty worthless. Politicians and top brass just don't like troop deaths making the news but aside from that they treat infantry as a statistic. It wouldn't be worth the cost to the fit the average grunt with AI chatbots. The last thing you want are your guys fucking around with their phones in battle. I can see a case for spec ops using something like this. Israel has this secret "ghost regiment" that integrates AI. Exactly how they do it is a mystery though. Where you'll see AI decision making is at the command level, at the unit HQ, and remote unmanned weapons. i.e. AI robots that can carry satchel charges and AI suicide drones or have an AI that designs mission plans or handles mission data and processes intel during a mission. You could also see it being used in training simulators and war gaming software.

The most dangerous thing is using AI to speed up WMD research. AI applied to biological design could speed up the R&D of new bio weapons and generate new design concepts faster than any human. There's also the risk of military putting a strategic weapon in the hands of an AI. Imagine Russia's Perimeter system but worse.

Lately I've been absolutely sucked into the world of INFRA. Half walking simulator and half immersive sim about decaying infrastructure in a fictional nordic country, feels like I'm playing a peak 2012 Finnish sourcemod (which makes sense, because the lead dev cut their teeth on those).
Navigating through and solving puzzles in wastewater treatment works and pumping stations gives me some amazing sense of satisfaction that I didn't know I wanted. I did a brief stint in infrastructure automation irl before I decided it wasn't for me, but the nostalgia really drives home how well-crafted this game is.

My brother lent me Spiderman on PS4. I was a bit underwhelmed tbh, but that's mainly because I hate superhero shit. Every line of dialogue made me go maan shut the fuck up... I found the facial animation quite unpleasant as well, especially Mary Jane. I skipped most of the cutscenes because they were so annoying. And there are points where they are having a lovers' argument by text message while you swing around the city, yeah that's really fun >_>
The swinging around the city and the combat were the fun parts, but they only really get fun towards the end when you upgrade your powers. At the start of the game, I felt like the Infamous games did those fun parts better. There is plenty of freedom to kill the bad guys in different ways, and it's fun stringing together flowing combos with ground and air attacks.
I think my favourite bits were when you webbed a bad guy to a wall or obstacle, and then that obstacle is a focal point in a following cutscene, so they appear tied-up and struggling blocking the view of the story XD
I got the platinum trophy then deleted the game.

I just finished a long 5 weeks game in subterfuge (RTS mobile game).
I decided I will play without any diplomacy, I would simply not talk to anyone, so I ended up in fourth place, despite the fact that those faggots (pretty much everyone was going after me) decided killing me was better than going after the player who was going to win, obviously because I didn't communicate with anyone. Trust is a big factor. The joke which is funny, none of them was able to kill me, despite the fact they were more capable than me, in fact in the end they were able to take all my outposts, and I was able to fly with my specialists and my queen to another outpost where I could settle until the end of the game, and just when I was doing this transfer the game ended.
It was fun because everyone was seething that I didn't say much.

Temmie is a real X-factor in this case. She is an UNDERTALE character, so in that sense Toby would rather not emphasize her over the original cast, but as the same time she is a "dev" character, sometime with far greater insight into the rules and mechanisms of the game world than any other character would reasonably have. She knew of and could remember resets well enough to give you discounts at the Tem Shop after all.

From a self-contained standpoint, her character so far mirrors that of Berdly's, wanting to be recognized and respected but not knowing how to get that in a healthy way, so instead of building an obnoxious mask around being "smart"(which we the player know she is in some sense at least, she managed to design Temmie Armor) she spends her days plotting revenge. The Dark World is the perfect opportunity for her to both take this revenge(especially against Susie; Catti-Temmie team-up anyone?) and to show that she really is more than just the village idiot, and for Catti to get rid of one more obligation on her already overloaded plate with family that are too dumb to recognize or care for her needs.

Catti is very obviously loaded up to be Susie's final character test; too strong for her to overpower in the Light World, likely too much of a magic dork for her to fight in the Dark World, and too mature for her to intimidate, forcing Susie to confront her with the new people skills she has learned over the course of the story or perish.

I would love to see Catti and Temmie using some Magi-Mechsuit just juggling Susie back and forth in a way akin to how Lancer gets bounced around. It would be excruciatingly painful for her, but the sprites would be hilarious.

13 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2024-01-16 03:52 ID:iRmXeHo3

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.

try to maintain flamethrower distance away from soldiers and demos so you can react to their projectiles rather than instinctively reflecting, all while keeping flame pressure, which creates urgency and makes them want to fire their rockets (esp. soldiers)

for other classes just combo them with your secondary or melee of choice, although for melee weapons you'll have to run mostly the axtinguisher or powerjack, unless you're feeling quirky enough to finish enemies off with any other axe

I checked out Mindustry. Interesting game, sadly it's in java, unlike the source of inspiration. They abandoned the two sided belts and inserters retardation, this made the game less annoying, but also less chaotic, which is honestly one of the main appeals of factorio. Graphics aren't as polished. Gameplay is a series of 2 hour map missions instead of one 100 hour long world conquering, which leaves more room for mistakes and learning. You don't lose as much if you screw up. Factorio is a much more relaxed game. I don't remember being that relaxed, I was afraid of biters to the very end of the game. Perhaps meditative is a better word, it's easy to get sucked in into playing Factorio.

I remember once starting a warcraft 3 match with 2 bots, I and one other bot vs other bot. I helped to my ally to kill the enemy, killed this ally too, and mined all gold and trees on the map. If you're a faggot like me, who sucks at making quick decisions and just wants to see workers work, this game is for you.

>>10 i should add when i say "know what im doing" i moreso mean i know better how the game works. its still a lot of fun just to do things better than before, and to figure out things i had struggled with previously. plus theres always mods

12 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2021-12-23 02:01 ID:Heaven

I'd rather continue the old map rather than starting the new one, sounds more fun. I want to clean up my existing factory, figure out all the best blueprints, get as much as it fits in my backpack, stop production completely, destroy my old factory and reopen the factory in a different location. I wonder what I would need. Maybe I can just console command my dream backpack and all technologies at the start of the game

if you want everything from the get go to just design then you can always use a creative mod

personally i like slowly building up everything i need, but only after that VERY beginning bit where all you have is burner mining drills and coal power.

Games journalism (12)

1 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2006-11-01 18:37 ID:R+pbpefZ

Is it me, or is the state of games news reporting absolutely terrible? All these so-called journalists ever seem to do is rewrite press releases. I remember a recent example involving a popular games site, where a previously unannounced game had appeared on a publisher's website. People were even talking about the release of the game on that site's forums. But the site's "news" section didn't even mention it until a month or so later, when the publisher issued a press release. It seems like they don't investigate anything beyond PR agencies.

Although sometimes they overreach themselves, The Escapist is pretty good for non-news game journalism. The major magazines and sites seem to have largely left the job of reporting latest news to blogs.

Edge is too far up its own arse these days. Anyway, as a magazine, all they're good for is reviews and features - magazines became obsolete for news a long time ago.

I feel like most entertainment journalism is crap, like music journalism, or wrestling or food journalists. It seems like they are just people who maybe have a deeper interest in their hobby than most, and think it would be a good idea to get paid to write about their favourite hobby, rather than coming from an academic background, so it's often badly written, full of clichés and shallow observations

I sometimes get Retro Gamer magazine if there's a feature on a game I liked, but sometimes the writing makes me put the magazine down and roll my eyes and sigh

I actually have the opposite view. I think games journalists are mostly those who come from an academic background (recent graduates who studied, like, journalism or something). Although I'm focusing mostly on reviews here - I tend to ignore gaming news.
I like to compare them to independent games reviewers like Matthewmatosis, Sseth or TheGamingBrit. They may not be professional journalists, but they're passionate about games and make an effort to understanding what makes them good/bad.
In one important way the independent reviewers are more trustworthy, since they often buy the game and play it through to the end while the journalists receive the game for free and play it for an hour or two at most.
You often get the sense the journalists don't play games much or even like to play them.

>games journalists are mostly those who come from an academic background

I'm not saying they don't exist, but I think it's a stretch to say "mostly". Maybe I'm just reading the wrong journalists.

If you're determining that by writing style, then they definitely are. The style they write articles in has changed – an attempt at staying relevant – but it's not unusual for more recent (past 10 or so years) graduates.
It is possible that I'm mistaken though, I am mostly going off of what I read/hear after all.

More like the version of Toontown that hasn't been dead for five years.

(and yes I know about "Toontown Rewritten" but that's just a reanimated zombie shambling towards even greater realms of irrelevance)

To sum it up my lates games i have tested is:

Silent hunter 3(got boring fast)

So when in the good games coming?

Currently thrilled with the Left 4 Dead series.

That's the kind of multiplayer gaming I want.

The first Halo was badass.

I still play the PC version to this day, and I got that shit when it first came out 7 years ago (I also had the xbox version;the online multiplayer was definitely worth the extra 40 bucks, believe me, even with the laggy servers).

181 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2010-03-28 14:27 ID:N0ymqHDI

VVVVVV (http://thelettervsixtim.es/) is awesome game and most old-school gamers who are sick of today's games tend to love it.

Minecraft. It's still in alpha, but over time it's improved in massive leaps. Beta is apparently coming soon.

March of 2007 I think. Phenomenal game.

Little Big Planet turned my world upside down.

On the PC end, Fallout 3 was almost an obsession. You have to turn the difficulty way up because it's too easy otherwise.

Megami Tensei (100)

Let's talk about Atlus's Megami Tensei franchise.
Persona 5 came out and next is Deep Strange Journey in 2017 (and 2018 for NA and PAL territories).

I hope it has illustrations of Mara on the front and back.

92 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2023-06-11 15:55 ID:Q+Y0TqCh

It looks like the Persona 3 remake and a new Persona 5 spin-off will be officially revealed tomorrow at the Xbox showcase.
Also, one insider is claiming that Persona 6 will launch before 2026.

93 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2023-06-12 23:25 ID:JPoJIsBO

Why remake persona 3 when you should remake 1 and 2? 1 and 2 aren’t that accessible to anyone who wasn’t around during the PS1 era: 1 hasn’t aged well and 2 has the worst gameplay in the series: if any, they should remake those games not 3!!!

94 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2023-06-14 09:27 ID:Q+Y0TqCh

>>93
Because remaking 3 is easier and less expensive than rebuilding, almost rebooting in a sense, the first two entries and it also works better as a filler release.
1 and 2 will surely be remade at some point in the future, though.

95 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2023-06-25 16:31 ID:eMhtEneA

>>94
It's good that they're not remaking 1/2 and I hope they never do. The modern games industry has proven they can't remake anything without fucking it up.
Even from the trailers it's obvious they ruined the atmosphere of 3 and are remaking it to pander to the P5 crowd.

96 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2023-06-29 09:48 ID:n6e0fzP3

i just finished sonic adventure 2 and god that game is so overrated. when people say they like SA2 they like the sonic and shadow stages and nothing else.

Tbh I really don't know if I'll pickup P3 remake. If they don't even have FemMC or The Answer then what's the point? FemMC had the better social links and The Answer was ungodly hard as shit but cool as hell.
