I always see people calling fighting games dead, especially when they are referring to other skill based 1v1 games like arena shooters or RTS. But here is the thing, fighting games are more alive than they have ever been. You need to remember that fighting games are also on console, and most modern fighting games have crossplay enabled. Take the steam daily peak player count and triple it, that is basically the true daily peak of available players. I'd say there are probably anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 unique players daily when you take into account all modes. Compared to arena shooters, fighting games are incredibly thriving. We have active local scenes, competitive scenes, and online scenes. The biggest name in arena shooters only gets a peak of 400 players daily. RTS games may be a bit more popular than fighting games when it comes to player count, but our competitive and local scenes are actually alive and thriving. When you compare fighting games to other popular games, you have to remember it is a 1v1 game. A better metric to compare it to other games is to take the number of possible matches that could be happening at a time. For example, in order to fill an ARC Raiders lobby you need 21 players. Lets take the peak and divide it by the amount of players you need to have a match.>445,973/21 = 21237Now lets do the same for Street Fighter 6>37,646/2 = 18823Note, these are only Steam numbers, the amount of playable matches at peak hours is actually much greater. Outside of the titans, the "liveliness" of SF6 is comparable to most popular multiplayer games.Sorry for the bad grammar, I'm ESL.

What am I talking about? Well, the RSPS scene (RuneScape private server) has preserved various versions of the game.RuneScape classic (2001 - 2003): Jesus christ is this shit tedium incarnate. There's no reason to ever play this.The shift to RS2 occurred in 2004. There is an RSPS called 2004scape that is still in the year 2004, but will gradually go to 2006. Judging the game purely based off the year 2004? You do not want to be playing this version of the game. Watching paint dry will be more entertaining. It's in the same boat as RSC. When it gradually shifts to 2005 and 2006? Same issue. The problem is that old RuneScape wasn't good.2007 RS (Vidyascape) - Terrible server, terrible version of the game. Why? Because 2007 RuneScape wasn't good. Nostalgia simulator watch paint dry.2009scape - This is a 2009 version of the game but sadly they are having to recreate much of the game from scratch. What is offered is good, and it's the first server on the list that actually offers properly boosted xp. You might be like boosted xp, in a private server?! Yes. If you want 1:1 grinding go play the live game. However, there is a huge caveat. The game is still tedious as fuck and not really worth playing at all.2011scape - Lesser known server and forked off from 2009. Features Dungeoneering and stuff, but is mostly missing most of the content.
>>729129858CONT.2012scape - Same thing as 2011, but with lodestones and the toolbelt. I actually think this is the best server on the list because RuneScape is always better with MORE updates, not less. But that's my personal hot take. STILL tedious to play overall despite boosted xp. Why? Because RuneScape is historically an extremely tedious game.OSRS - In my honest opinion, despite adding more quality of life than ever, this game is not worth playing. It is extremely tedious, still slow, and infested with bots. There's nothing here for ME. I've moved on.RS3 - I genuinely think this is the best version of the game by far. Proper quality of life, more quests than ever, more skills, so many ways to train and bypass grinds (even on ironman). Of course the game is all about grinding, but ironman saves this game. Main is okay too not going to lie especially now that they are removing treasure hunter.RS3 won.
>>729129858Zoomie thinks his opinion holds weightCute
>>729129858RS3 is just a bad version of other MMOs. OSRS is unique. If you don't like grinding you'll hate it but there's nothing else quite like it
OSRS > 2004scape > RS3 > Brighter Snores
>>729130029it doesnt really hold weight but i think the general sentiment is still there. nobody wants to be playing these old tedious versions of runescape.
NINTENDO ENDS PRODUCTION OF SWITCH 2 MARIO KART BUNDLEMANY ARE SPECULATING THAT THIS IS DUE TO POOR SALES
>>729101802They already updated the game numerous times to severely alter the intermission courses.
>>729127943They get their sources from NDS grifters so it makes sense why they're so fucking retarded
>>729102192>>729102363Ah yes. FOMO. It's cancer when any other company does it but when it's nintendo, it's a-okay.drones, man. They never cease to entertain.
>>729129389to be fair people have criticized Nintendo's utilization of FOMO for years, especially when Amiibo first dropped
>>729129389Literally none of these anons are defending it, just stating the fact that MKW bundle only exists to boost FOMO sales

Pokemon stole designs from godzilla and never got sued
>>729127569Yeah aren't japanese people supposed to disembowel themselves when they dishonor their family?
corpo niggers hate fun. They hate cross overs and they hate simple ideas like "pokemon with guns". They think that imagination and creativity means that you need some crazy outlandish idea like wow man this game is about the dream of a pikachu who was abused as a child and is dealing with depression, like OK, how does that make a fun game? meanwhile "pokemon with guns", how is that fun? its obvious, you shoot little pokeniggers. Obvious is bad because corpo niggers are hacks who feel like if you arent subverting expectations then you arent doing it right, they cant handle the idea of something obvious being good. The story needs to subvert your expectations, the game design needs to subvert expectations within the confined metric that they learned in video game design college. The idea that they could have made bank if they took a simple idea like monster collecting with guns enrages them
can you give the pals in your base guns?

>>729127454or you could simply not do that? not everyone has ocd although i admit it would be a bit confusing and unclean
>>729119342you just made this in vscode and snipped it didn't you
>>729128528Not do what? I was talking about how storing everything in a giant array and referring to its contents with raw indexes all throughout your project is a novice mistake that eventually turns your project into a giant headache. It's usually preferable to make some kind of interface for accessing that kind of data using stuff like enums and/or wrapping your containers inside of structs with accessors
>>729129763>if he ever wants to add something to the middle of the game he has to rewrite all the indexes of everything coming afterwardshey mr smarty pants you literally wrote it down so don't pretend you didn't say it. you could you know just not add variables in the middle lol. just because the index increases doesn't mean it has to be orderedi'm sorry you apparently actually had to do it though. totally unnecessary but probably a good lesson none the less

Why does the Japanese games don't like Metroid?What is it that doesn't appeal to them?And what could make Metroid sell more in Japan?
>>729129106Japanese only care about Japan, ergo they don't give a shit about space adventure in alien planets. Maybe if Samus was Japanese they would like it.
>>729129106Anyone else felt hollow by the ending? It wasn't even bad, it wasn't an ending the story sort of stopped. Also Sylux backstory is shit gets told by his boss not to rush into the line of fire, gets his platoon killed and then Samus hurts his ego
It’s a shit game that’s literally it

>>729129728I'm just replaying it now because I've been singing praises and I want to give myself a refreshed experience since I haven't played the game since 2021.Plus now that I experienced games like BOTW, TOTK, Stellar Blade, Astro Bot, and Xenoblade 2 since then, I want to see how KH2 still holds up.
2 is a masterpiece but they should've rebooted a long time ago. It's a gacha fanfic series at this point
>>729129910just make sure its the final mix version, or the HD rerelease which is that. play on lvl 1 for an even crazier experience.

do you think it will be good /v/? I know animu games are really hit and miss but this one isn't another arena fighter
>>729122762My friends sold me this shit as one of the best anime ever and it turned out it's the most generic shit ever. I called them out on their shit taste immediately.
>>729122762the slop that made me realize that i’m too old for shonen
i dont watch shit made by women
This anime does diversity right, everyone is somewhat attractive and there's a nice mix of personalities. I wouldn't mind seeing more blacks if they were done this way, and it's not even about neutering black culture, the guy still wears dreads or whatever they're called, the white haired girl rocks an afro, but they just feel normal and fit in with the rest of the world.Unlike a literal 7ft tall baboon destroying takeshis humble bamboo abode before raping all women in a 50 mile radius with his bbc in the 1500s.

>>729119937Don't listen to this guy. You can't upgrade your pc, if you ever take it apart all the dogshit plastic connectors they use to hold together the hundreds of dollars worth of components will fail because they're made of plastic and fucking paper thin then you have to get a new CPU cooler but it's gonna have the same dogshit plastic clips on it so better hope your thermal paste lasts forever or get ready to buy a new cooler + whatever parts you destroyed with static electricity in the process of trying to make those plastic clips go in to the fucking motherboard. Holy shit whoever designed those needs to die a painful, slow death.
