what did you guys buy this sale
>>729862341If the game gets updated but nobody is around to see it, did it really get updated?
>>729862429Yes
>>729847032Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon
>>729847032Less than the last few years, because I finally got a new PC and can play some of the games I bought in previous sales at a decent graphics level without powerpoint-tier FPS.>Elden Ring>Indiana Jones and the Great Circle>Power Wash Sim 1 DLCs>Armored Core 6>Titan Quest - Eternal Embers DLC>FactorioBut I won't be playing any of those until I finish>RDR1 Undead Nightmare>Black Myth Wukong>Crisis Core>FF7 Rebirth>Robocop Rogue City
>>729848663You can level to cap and finish most storylines on your own (with AI party members), but if you're interested in doing pretty much anything after that, you're going to need to find some actual players (mostly to carry your noob ass and feed you gear until you can contribute something more than a body with a pulse).
How replayable is pic related? Planning to buy deluxe edition and sink hours into this, seems fun, i used to play old ones on ps2.
it's made for replayability, you're actually supposed to replay the map multiple times before going to the next map, just to unlock new itemsif you're on PC pirate it with Peacock, since the game is always online, and Peacock makes offline progression to work, and you can play any time limited fomo content at any moment you want and there's a lot of that
>>729863709Very replayable. On top of the piles of assassination path cheevos in the story mode missions, there's also a roguelike gamemode where your targets are randomized with different challenges.
>It's kind of coincidental how like in most games pigs are evil.>Oh you're right, like in Diddy Kong Racing, Zelda and Mother.>Thank you for the list of evil pigs in video games, Caveman >You're welcome.
>This looks... like fucking dogshit>Oh, it is
>>729860893>I'll donate another $10 if green hoodie guy does 10 jumping jacks>This is, like, the coolest part of the game in my opinion, but... if it's for charity... Go for it, Chibi!>Here we go!>Great form, Chibi! You made the my favorite part even cooler!
>>72986288612 year old moment and chibi is still the same retard. Dude is 35 and is now trying to make cosplay friends but fails miserably.
>>729862593Thanks for the explanation, but I'm still confused. What about pigs being evil made the speedrunner react that way and made the stream get taken down?
>>729860893>Santa's number one helper is a squirrel? >Yeah, you have to be a little nutty to hammer on wooden toys 24/7!>lol
Which Lovecraft gods would you like to fight against (boss battle) ?
Imagine a RPG that takes inspiration from the King in Yellow (not strictly Lovecraft but whatever), you're a normal dude and one day you're yeeted in Carcosa, a city that operates on societal and physical rules completely aliens to you, and the gameplay is entirely based on understanding how to navigate this strange universe until you can go home.
>>729859727https://youtu.be/GsJcf0Mjuuk>game serie ends when the major forces are clearly identified and ready to clash>you'll never fight the elder god and team up with the hylden to do so ( or whatever the banished race opposing vampires were called ) because everyone finds out he's the bigger evil in nosgothgay nigger universe

>>729853758I've played Fear and Hunger for about an hour and am absolutely clueless on how to get any sort of progress still. So for me perhaps Fear and Hunger.
>>729853758Noita, but it's 200 hours in.

What's next for the Saints Row franchise.
>>729861569>>729861753yeah shout out Juiced. still though, i dont think we’ll ever get a true SR1 and SR2 (+DLC) on PC unless you count busting out the old x360 emulator and the original xbox .iso… it’s 2026 and it’s ridiculous we still havent gotten that. i ignore anything after 3, it’s just NOT Saints Row.
>>729861569>now we have JUICED patchwhat is it?
>>729862973engine fixes (stuff like props being all desynced in cutscenes), memory usage fixes (crashes WAAAY less for me personally), a whole laundry list of QoL things. the best way i can describe is:>juiced: fixed vanilla>juiced with GOTR: fixed SR2 with extra content / mods
>>729835402eternal rest, it's fucking dead.
>>729835402Bankruptcy
>pc part price hysteriawhy do you care? what games do you need a gpu worth 2000 or new ram sticks worth 400 bucks for? there is literally no good new games worth playing, all of it is just remakes, multiplayer microtransaction slop or creatively bankrupt dei singleplayer crap. i look at the aaa games market of today and i really see nothing to look forward to.literally what games yall need a new pc for, what games are you looking forward to?
>>729855072battlefield 6yeah i know.. but it's all what my friends are playing rn, and battlefield makes me nostalgic. im barely scraping by with my 8gb 5060
>>729855101Chuddies are having a hard time accepting they made a mistake in their vote Next time don't vote out of spite and you won't get burned
Only game from last year I want to play is KCD2, and my 4050 can somehow run it I guess. People laugh at Sony for no games, but its an industry wide problem that the most demanding games out there are still Red dead and CP 2077 which are 5 year old..
>>729863639the question is why do we need more graphics? it's not graphics that make games interesting but gameplay, maybe story choices if you have that, depth of systemic interaction. we got all the fidelity we need during the 8th gen.
if your pc isnt rendering an 8k eyeball texture you arent gaming
It's over.I boughted.
Surely some one will start up another video card manufacturing company to get in on this action right haha? Ore that nvidia will be broken up... I mean their cant be just two manufacturers and now theyre just being blantant about cooperating and price fixing

>>729863308HAHA...We have Russia who has technical capabilities to make RAM and GPUs but instead of playing the saviors of poor and ENTER the global market they decided to follow NK path.Chinks have their own RAM and GPU small companies. They may save us but I doubt.
>>729841282I think you're a week too late mate2 of mine just got cancelled for bs reasons(oos but they'll double the price when you re-order)Just settle for a 5080
>>729862669>can't fucking afford itHe just said that he has 50k in stocks. Most of the time I have less than 1k on my bank account. At the start of the month, I pay my bills, mortgage, credit cards and stuff the rest in an index fund and only leave a small amount lying on my bank account. If I need to buy something more expensive, my credit card will take care of it and I'll pay it off with my next salary. If I suddenly need 10k, I'll just liquidate that much (obviously never have had to). If you keep large amounts just sitting on your bank account, yngmi
are imperials white
>>729858004They don't call them blacksmiths for nothing. A better question is how the fuck do Argonians survive in the snow? They must be chugging skooma like it's water
Imperials are swarthy.
>>729859421Your skin is the color of ash lol
>>729858004imperial isn't really a race but more like the catch-all term for the collective of human races that inhabit the imperial province. even if the games themselves don't do a good job portraying it exactly. there is a reason why it likes to bring up shit like "colovians" and "nibenese" as their own races sometimes in the lore even if for the sake of game mechanics, they're the same. so to answer the question, eh sure, some of them are.
>>729860491I think they wanted to imply he has lived a life in the sun but the team really only added that level of depth to NPCs within the first 2 quests so he just looks strange
Be honest, do you spend money in f2p games?
>>729806879This is literally a pedophilia simulator.

>>729863180She's acting like a retarded child. You are a pedophile.
>>729816978Not even wrong, and as a storyfag the story is just as awful. There needs to be SOME semblance of emotion and familiarity with the cast for me to like it.
>>729863239>She's acting like a retarded childthat's all women, dude
ME3 Vanguard is so much better than ME2’swtf I seriously regret picking Vanguard in ME2…Also, it’s pretty cool that I can start the game at level 30.
>>729863506Only reason to take him is because he has Overload.

Why does Touhou attract players otherwise interested in gacha games, Western indie games, WRPGs and first-person shooters instead of fans of retro and arcade games? Is it dumbed down compared to other PC shoot-'em-up offerings?
>>729863017>over 5000 shovelware garbage for closet trannies

Animal Crossing New Horizons NSW2EMario Tennis FeverPokemon PokopiaTomodachi Life: Living the DreamYoshi and the Mysterious BookSuper Mario Bros Wonder NSW2ERhythm Heaven GrooveFire Emblem: Fortune's WeaveSplatoon Raiders (not dated, but there's no way it's not 2026)Pokemon Gen 10 (not announced, but we all know it's coming)This is 2026 lineup for Switch 2. Other than Duskbloods, Fire Emblem and Splatoon Raiders, it's total fucking dogshit tea time itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny games aimed at toddlers, girls and casuals.Fucking BLAND lineup that makes my eyes glaze over.
>>729859918acnh was dogshitpokopia is the same thing, but with pokemon
>>729860261Mario is literally the only modern Nintendo series that doesn't suck.
>>729861361>pokopia is the same thing, but with pokemonPokopia is Dragon Quest Builders, but with Pokemon. By the Dragon Quest Builders devs.
>>729859918It's so funny seeing people's reactions to this lineup. It has so many titles aimed at very specific target audiences but lacks a unifying high-profile IP that everyone can anticipate or get excited for. As a result, it is simultaneously the most hype and least hype first half of the year amongst most of my friend groups.
>>729859918Nintendo is fucking dying and it's because of their own fucking greed. It fucking serves them right, in their fucking sinusoidal cycle of successes and failures, they are at the rock bottom now and need to be humbled again. Except of 1, max 2 titles there's nothing to look forward to in 2026 and I regret the Switch 2 purchase. It's obvious they rushed it only to suck investors cocks and maybe the early leak contributed a bit to that too. The games are only being cooked now, which puts the whole lifecycle of a console and game development on its head. The only fucking competent game for switch 2 is Sakurai's Kirby game but it's fucking niche. MKW is a disaster and even Nintendo shills are seeing it, DK, although fun, is really dumbed down. Games lack the former philosophy and the goal of being fun. Paid DLCs announced alongside their respective games, clearly cut content to be sold to you later, rushed, half cooked games with no content patched out later when noone cares anymore, it's all fucking crumbling before our eyes.This is what happens when greed takes over and you put a fucking literal who salaryman on top of your gaming company.
Happy New Year /v/! I’ve been playing wow for a long time, coming in late to Vanilla, but got through MC and into BWL before TBC. I’ve consistently played through every expansion/pre-patch lull, holiday and summer dips, etc.Over the past couple months the population drop has been dramatic. What in the actual hell is going on? The third-party population tracking sites seem to back this up, and this time seems much different than previous lulls. A few things stand out to me and I believe need some reflection by the appropriate decision makers:>Recent ban waves have reportedly drive away long-time players including multi-decade veterans who weren’t willing to start fresh and rebuy, etc.>The “report” system now being embedded in nearly every interface element seems to have chilled the community atmosphere. Players are wary of chatting, joking or grouping with others, and the system is widely abused.>Automated NLP moderation has made its way into chat policing. While the idea of reducing toxicity was good, it feels the threshold is so low that even mildly abrasive chat is flagged and banned with minimal context or ability to actually appeal.>The elephant in the room: removal/restrictions of addons has hit the game’s veteran community hard. For many of us, addons were a part of WoW’s DNA providing additional opportunity for personalization, accessibility, etcI understand Blizzards desire to modernize the game and appeal to a new generation of players. From what I see, these changes don’t seem to be bringing in any new players, just pushing old ones out. So many friends have left the game for the above reasons, and aren’t getting replaced with the new ones. The social fabric feels weaker, player options removed and world less “alive” in general.Feels bad man.
>>729859850>younger players are too busy playing extraction shootersnice try bungie, nobody wants that concord-tier marathon slop
I just goon to Draenei 34.
>>729860794ARC Raiders man
>The “report” system now being embedded in nearly every interface element seems to have chilled the community atmosphere. Players are wary of chatting, joking or grouping with others, and the system is widely abused.Wow, I wonder why this sounds incredibly familiar.There isn't a single online community that doesn't have this problem. How the fuck do we convince retarded devs/admins to be more hands off? Not a dig at /v/ as much as you would probably imagine it is.
I used to work at McDonalds, you are getting the same fucking patties as the shitter sandwiches you are literally just paying for extra bread and lettuce for the most part with a Big Mac. Why would you ever do that?
>Have 7 extra years to develop a game>It's shitWhy is it so hard to make a good vampire game? Is the original the only one? Redfall, V Rising, Vampyr, all trash.

What's the indie horror rpg success formula?
Something about rpgmaker just speaks to autists. It gatekeeps plebs and the fags ITT, so a niche of schizophrenic spergs enjoy something that's just for them and go all out.
Make your main character a loli or anthro girl
>>729858772Getting picked up by the right YouTuber. I don’t think the next real trend has broken out yet, we’ve moved past >muh psone visuals but I don’t think the next bandwagon has really pulled up yet, VNs will always do okay but it’s hard to stand out. I guess for the foreseeable it’s all tired-looking, ambiguously gendered characters with mental health concerns that the kids can pretend they relate to.

>>729863082>Bullet witch, easily one of the most boring games I ever playedsame. played it for the first time a few weeks ago. very disappointing. the design for alisa/the witch is great and the IDEA of having a bayonetta type character going against the evil dead/iron maiden album art seems real cool. but it just felt like absolute garbage to play. way too easy but a couple times where i got randomly demolished out of the blue. the spells were terrible and didn't really add much to an otherwise bland as fuck third person shooter. god, i'm upset about this game.
>>729863620yeah, it is basically proto bayonetta but really bad.she also walks really slow and the weapons do barely any damage. i am playing using a controller and the sensitivity for the aim is wacky as has, it turns way too fast even after i tried messing with the config.
