No more heroes
I like how its a satire on "EPIC" plots in general not just games.
But I still consider Killer7 as a better game despite the change from its original script . Cant wait for
Flower, Sun and Rain in October so I can get some sort of understanding of his Kill the Past series.
Finally got around to playing the 2013 Tomb Raider a couple months ago. The hunting mechanic felt tacked on, and the "run from cover to cover while shooting an army of bad guys" sequences were annoying, but overall it was an enjoyable game.
The last six weeks have been all about Monster Hunter: World. Started the DLC Iceborne a few days ago and I feel like the jump from High to Master is way more difficult than the jump from Low to High.
I Wanna Kill The Kamilia 2.
Search The Bread K, and most games MicroHorrorArcade and PhuCat103 played, i love this type of games. Itch io type games are very charming to me.
> mage, his ice magic is fucking garbage and it takes a long time until you get his good weapon.
Get close to enemies and chill touch them. Counter-intuitive but it works best that way.
Wand is slow to kill things, but pretty effective in larger areas against groups.
>>281
>>285
Addendum, also his Flechettes slay if you know how to use them. Their explosions are shield-piercing (read: hits centaurs and heresiarchs even when they're guarding).
Really a big part of sucking at Hexen or thinking Hexen sucks is down to not using the items or not using them correctly (won't defend some of the more obtuse puzzle designs tho).
after a half year pause (initially interrupted by disco elysium) I finished sekiro, i was already pretty far so I only needed to do the divine dragon, demon of hatred and final boss, I am glad i pulled through, I watched a guide video for the last boss but it didn't help me whatsoever so I just made my own "strategy" which was mostly dodge to the right in phase one and then dodge to the left in phase two, phase three was praying that he does the lightning often so I can punish hard
a friend gave me shit for not learning to parry him but i already unlearned most of it due to the passage of time and frankly was never good at it to begin with so I just used whatever approach seemed natural to me, just because it's a sword fight doesn't mean your legs stop working, foot work, left right, POW right in the kisser
I can't remember the last time I beat a video game.
>>286
I wish they would've given the mage the thrown flechette instead of the fighter, getting close to enemies to use the dropped flechette is just a rough spot, and the ice magic even at close range isn't too great. The fighter could've worked with the dropped flechette a lot better than the mage.
Also, fuck the slaughtaurs. Annoying blocking that can reflect all but ripper projectiles, ranged attack that they can do instantly from block, looks exactly like the chump cenataur. And their everywhere in the first few DK maps like they common fodder when they are more tedious to deal with than just about any enemy in the game.
>>289
I understand why they did the flechettes that way from a theming perspective, with the mage effect being a carry-over from Heretic's timebomb where Heretic had a more magely protagonist, but that's an interesting take gameplay-wise. Hexen II had its closest mage analogue (the Necromancer) lay explosives more like a seeker mine, and the even closer mage analogue from the expansion (the Demoness) threw them as gas grenades.
Beat Monster Bash, not for the first time, but for some good Halloween season nostalgia.
Somewhat tough game, especially that swamp section in episode 3 with the moving platform jumps. Count Chuck is a pussy though.
Will buying a Wii-U help me sleep with teenage girls?
I remember when I was sixteen I went over to a girls house under the pretense of playing Mario Party and then I fucked her.
So...does that still happen? Which of these will help me? http://www.listnerd.com/list/best-mario-games I just know chicks get fuckin wet for Mario
Seconding SM64. I made her panties drop* in 0.5x A button presses.
*in a parallel universe
>>19
That doesn't make sense though. There are no objects in parallel universes or M64. How could she have panties to drop?
>>1
I remember I once had a date witha a girl and took her to a semi-dungeon flat to play Kirby´s adventure. In my head, I tought that the fact that you can share food mouth-to-mouth in cooperaitve mode was enticing. It wasn't, the moment the kirbys pased the food, ther was an awkward silence.
She asked to stop dating after that.
So, don't use kirby games.
I get mad that most Mario games don’t have toilets. I search all over. Completely immersion breaking to play a game about a plumber that doesn’t have a single toilet. I simply cannot believe that Mario is a plumber, ruining the entire Mario series.
The Secret Chronicles of Dr. M
>>24
He can traverse my pipe if you know what I mean
Overseas release date for P5R coming soon.
I'm new to the franchise but I really like P5, but since I don't have a ps4 I can't play it. I was thinking of buying one soon, but I don't know if I should wait until Royal comes out or not.
>I'm new to the franchise but I really like P5, but since I don't have a ps4 I can't play it.
So you're a fan of the TV anime?
>I was thinking of buying one soon, but I don't know if I should wait until Royal comes out or not.
Are you waiting for a new price drop for the PS4 models?
I actually watched someone else play it after my brother introduced me to it.
I am low on cash right now but I have enough to buy a ps4, the thing is I would rather buy P5 and a ps4 at the same time, so I don't know if I should buy it right now, or finish watching and buy Royal when it comes out in the US.
>>57
I'd recommend waiting and getting both at the same time so you can experience the whole game yourself.
I like Megami Tensei
Just getting into this series. Digital Devil Story is a much cooler title. Having difficulty beating this. Put all of my stat points into strength on both characters because seriously who cares about that shit, it'll be maxed out at some point anyway. Or at least they better let me max it out.
SMTV and SMT3 HD incoming!
The SMTV protagonist looks like a bender, lol.
This is unrelated to games but a scanlation group called Gouma-Den is translating Megami Tensei manga left and right so check 'em out.
Not just horror games but ones with dark themes. What scares you?

If you don't know the lore, Diablo in 2 is the fighter from Diablo1. The rogue is implied to became Blood Raven and mage is suspected to be the Summoner. So power corrupted the Diablo1 characters to betray their good intentions.
What are some essential games for Windows 9x? I'm thinking about building a vintage gaming pc specifically for these mostly forgotten games that rarely work on modern PCs.
A gaming Pc running Win95 in 95 would run entirely different games (Dos-based or very simple Windows ones) than one running Win98 in 2000 (Win32 directX and likely would run in WinXP too)
Probably pick whichever you like
>>2
I'm probably gonna get a Win98 machine, as it would probably play everything Win95 can offer, + more advanced games. With that being said, what are some standout games for Win95 or 98 for me to tinker with?
Lego Island 1 (maybe 2), Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Day of the Tentacle.
There's more, but I'll have to wait until I get home to check.
Archanoid. That game was like, the first video game I ever witnessed.
A good hardware emulator for DOS - Win 9x era software including operating systems is PCem. Can go up to a AMD k6 III+ although it's more realistic for a Pentium MMX 233 to run on your hardware due to the limitations of emulation. A high clock processor is recommended for the host machine.
Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Fire Fight
(Captain) Claw
>>6
PCem is shit.
Have any other recommendations for emulators then? Trying to figure out QEMU
Ikusa Megami.
>>8 You must know about DOSBox already. Was there something about it you didn't like? Personally, I'm still trying to get it set up in a way where I can just give it a path to a game and make it run. I'm glad it uses "exclusive" fullscreen rather than that borderless crap that's getting pushed so hard these days, but I still don't have a monitor that can take proper advantage of it.
Diablo & DiabloII. Still waiting for Diablo3.

Honestly, we should just abandon 4chan(nel) and regroup here.
>>6
Anyone who has the patients to browse a textboard is allowed. I doubt that will be many of you though.
This place does seem a lot more laidback than the shitposting storm that is 4chan. You can't go a post without people arguing and calling each other faggots and such.
>>5
Nah, sites tend to shape posters rather than vice-versa. The medium is the message. When all people had was geocities, everyone had to learn some HTML and make a website. When everything's centered on Twitter, even Doctors have to talk like teenagers.
This place does seem a lot more laidback than the shitposting storm that is DQN. You can't go a post without people going to Yoshinoya and asking if you really want that extra sauce and such.
yeah this is cooler

no, fuck off
Since this board is slower than my autistic cousin, I thought we could post our thoughts about upcoming things in gaming and then come back awhile afterwards to reflect on how it actually turned out.
The two biggest things I can think of right now is the ps5 and Xbox series X|S. Will they be shit? Who knows. maybe they will make fun video games again. A new generation means new possibilities right?
I have pessimistic and optimistic thoughts.
I think that going forward, western game companies will stop focusing on gameplay and start focusing on graphics and story. This will make the stories slightly better, but the gameplay may feel disconnected from the narrative. That's only if they start writing good stories though.
My more optimistic idea is that game companies will realise we want to play games that are actually fun - western AAA game companies will lose market-share to Japanese and Indie games, they'll start trying to copy both... and eventually they'll start making fun games again.
I don't know which one will end up happening, probably a combination of both.
I actually have hope for the Xbox series X, it looks like it might be worth whatever it is.
VR (in terms of both display and control schemes) is pretty much the only thing that seems exciting in terms of new developments these days. Everything else these days just seems to be made to fuel upgradism and disposability. We had great games years ago and with moddability we can keep expanding them, so why get excited over something that's essentially the same idea just with fancier graphics and less moddability?
I don't think I played a modern video game in years with the sole exception of Doom 2016. Video games as a business fucking suck.
I wish this board was more active.
>this board is slower than my autistic cousin
>I wish this board was more active
And yet this may be the third most active board on 4-ch, after DQN and General.
I invested in a VR-ready PC a couple years ago, but I never actually ended up buying a VR headset. I previously predicted that there would be more good games but I was wrong and I'm glad I held onto my money. From what I understand, there's only a couple of really worthwhile non-coomer games. Those being Boneworks, Half-Life, and that one rhythm game. Not exactly enough to warrant all that equipment and setup.
At least I have my upgraded PC. I haven't had to worry about game requirements for the last 2 years, even if it's only 1080p 60fps.
I get motion sickness probably after 3-4 hours of playing this game.
I really enjoy it - but I can't stand the feeling of my eyes popping out of my skull and my intestines being pulled from my mouth through my esophagus.
It really sucks.
Do I just keep playing TF2 until my body gets used to it? I've read up on the motion sickness thing and it seems to me like 'sea legs' in comparison.
This really fucking sucks. ;___;
I used to get motion sickness from old FPS games in the early 1990s that were not "true" 3D, but rather 2.5D which really messes with your head.
Can some people who don't play anymore give me some items? My backpack is really empty
yeah me too anyone tha tdont play anymore or "cant" play anymore could i please have some items i only have some items that ant the basic one's could i have just a few please??
As a Quake boomer TF2 is the last remaining fun online game for me that's still somewhat popular.
>>20
fuck off.
Also damn, nice necro. I've put ~2600 hours into tf2 but lately I only really play on the 4/v/ server when it goes up.
>>22
Yeah, 4chan has some very nice tf2 servers, while casual/skial/blackwonder are fine for a few hours but gets boring very quickly. Unfortunately, the fun servers are only open on weekends which blows.
>"Quake boomer" doesn't even know what sage is
Yes I'm sure the handful of people who check this board just HAD to see what sort of insight your post brought.
>i get to sage a post even though it's the most recent bump

The game "Skyroads" is fucking great. It has excellent music, too. The only thing that could possibly make it more perfect is if it had a level editor.
ITT, discuss favorite DOS games, including, but not limited to, Skyroads.
( ﾟ ヮﾟ) Quarantine!
Cliff Hanger and his brother Coat!
Oh, that was C64...
If you're a wargamer, the old Steel Panthers series from SSI was awesome in multiple senses of the word. Imagine the Advanced Squad Leader boardgame from Avalon Hill, but actually playable.
Too bad the AI was retarded.
I think Matrix Games / Shrapnel Games has rewritten some of them and ported them to Windows.
( ﾟ ∀ﾟ) kitamittens!
Yeah so many good DOS games. Love me some Heretic and Hexen. Also Abuse, Wolf3D and Blake Stone, classic Doom, Master of Orion and Master of Magic, classic Warcraft (Warcraft II especially), tons of Apogee shit like Bio Menace, Crystal Caves, Hocus Pocus, Mystic Towers; Vinyl Goddess From Mars, Xargon...
>No mention of System Shock
It is genuinely the best game ever made. Its spiritual successor, Terra Nova, is fantastic too.
>>48
This is the first time I've heard Terra Nova described as a spiritual successor to System Shock, I thought it was a mech battle game?
>>49
It is, but the game itself plays a lot like a faster, action-focused System Shock.
Crystal Caves is apparently getting an update with an added episode. Looks decent.
I tried Yazuka 0 Yesterday and it was a very cool game. Unfortunately I found a Mahjong minigame and I hated how I couldn't understand the rules despite it being written out and accessible at any time.
I got frustrated and left. I then found a Shogi minigame and then I got even MORE mad because I could understand the rules but I was STILL getting obliterated by the easiest difficulty.
I'm trying not to let these two things make me never play it again because the main game itself is fun.
sans undertale made me gay
Fuck I really need to proof read before I post.
>made us made
Oh, so it's a rage thread.
Well, Ultrakill made me remember how much I enjoy doing insanely risky and stupid things in games just to feel cool.
God I wish i had the cash for the early access, having only the base 6 levels is fun, but DAMN if i don't want moar
>Made Us Made
I thought this was going to be about how you got rich in the game or something.
The word you're looking for is "mad".
the best way to learn mahjong is looking at a list of viable winning hands and picking the first two or three and trying to build towards them, it's also important to keep in mind which one of those can be build openly (by stealing other players tiles) or closed (solely by drawing them yourself). If I remember correctly the two easiest ones are collecting ONLY numbers from 2-8, no winds/dragons etc and simply collecting triples of whatever and a pair of winds or dragons, but you can just look at the rules in game. Once you know how to build towards them without checking the rules every turn you can go through the list and pick some winning hands you think are fun like all dragons or all doubles and include them in your rotation thereby slowly increasing the number of hands you have absolutely memorized. Don't fret if you can only handle a few, those chink fucks autistically categorised every combination into a distinct winning hand but they are mostly good for points only. Winning is easy enough with a few basic hands. Good luck!
