How can we make our favorite genre more appealing to audiences that actually buy video games?
That article has nothing to do with turn base and is another click bait thread.
I love JRPGs and I havent played metaphor or e33. they should start making games for me again.
>>730729036Sega needs to to do something soon, because even their stock is dropping.Maybe they should just make teeny romance simulators and drop the boring and repetitive combat that gamers loathe?
>>730729036Not at all
Do you know any vidya emotes?
>>730728908it doobie like that
Yeah I do.
>>730728908yes
Is Bananza REALLY that bad?
HOW DONKEY KONG BROKE METHE DARK SECRET OF DONKEY KONG REVEALED DON'T DO THIS (DONKEY KONG), DO THIS (DONKEY KONG)
The only ones seething at this game are retarded Rare snoys seething at the improved design.

>>730720232That would be gacha players.
Patch notes, dev vision and Deadpool trailer are releasing todayWhat are you hoping for? Besides the obvious Hela/Hawkeye/Phoenix/Daredevil/Invis/Gambit nerfsPersonally, I want to see vanguard Deadpool with a regeneration gimmick. It'd be cool as shit if he respawned on his death spot instead of in the spawn.
>>730718518He'll just be a mix between Blade and Wolverine with Venom's shield heal thing
>>730722804It's X-men. A story that is particularly an allegory for racism in a media that has been particularly dominated by liberal Jews.>but it used to be...It was ALWAYS woke for its time. Shit like this was always there to push the needle of normalization of liberal ideals. It was only ever as non-woke as it needed to be, to be an effective vehicle for the message. The same practically goes for all comic book superheroes. As well as most forms of visual media these days.
>>730727574anon you need to lay off the /pol/, it's making you irritable
>>730728261>bro, the opposite of the thing you complain about has made you upsetti. You need to stay away from the absolute antithesis of the the thing that actually bothers you.Last night, my wife was watching a TV show where the characters were somewhat believable. Even the overwight female private investigator. Unassuming, I get it. Then they showed her back story, and she was a part of a fucking swat team. While she was still a fat pile of shit. And they sold it completely straight. Fat woman running around with men in swat gear. Even my wife rung the bell on that one. I don't need /pol/ to point out how stupid and gay everything is.
>>730728724Sure
>so what if i used a guide, it's not fun to work it out myself
>>730726297Your dog loves me, a stranger that has learned to tolerate dogs, with the same intensity as you the person that loves dogs.Your dog will ignore you saying "Come here [retarded dog name]" as I pet him. I pet him not because I particularly like him (nor do I hate him, I am in fact indifferent to him) and know that it makes you seethe internally that I could say "Come on [retarded dog name], get in the car!" and your dog would leave with me to his new life forever without one single thought about you.A cat would NEVER.
>>730728649Insane how you deliberately misinterpret what I said, impressive mr brown retard>>730728714sorry
>>730728823>>730728794Proper english would be that you like *some* animals. The vast majority are considered "pests". If you say >i like animalsIt means you like all animals, please make your own internet where you can speak your own disgusting language.
>>730729039Stop doubling down retard
>>730729218>guhhh don't point that out!you argue like a subhuman
>play a jrpg>Characters call someone in their 30s oldThis feels uncomfortable
>>730721141>play wrpg>meet an ancient decaying lich from the before times>he's 37
>>730726474that's actually really ironic
>be under 20>Auron is 35? He looks 50 wtf?>be 35>Auron looks like a 35 year old man
>>730726474Same. I'm still so bad at video games it's unreal.
>Play Star Ocean 2>Everyone calls Bowman an old man>"Age: 28"
Why did they do it?
>>730728886He doesn't live in the past though. The past to him is an illusion, not reality. You still don't understand the philosophy. By killing him you prove you are the one living in illusions, which is also why he is fine with this fate. He has already purified himself no matter what you decide to do.
>>730728893You seem confused. Tiber didn’t have Numidium when he invaded Morrowind. Vivec bargained with him after he attacked and gave him Big Steppy as a part of the armistice. He then wrote a whole sermon about how Tiber is the coolest guy ever.
>>730728893And the Tribunal were all dead or powerless after the Nerevarine fucked them. Only the daedric princes remain at this point.
>>730729181>again dude he forgave himselfHe's delusional is what you are actually saying. Actual self induced retardation driven by guilt. Izzat will not save you.
>>730729202I am confused and have mixed up my lore. I am a failure and must repent.
This is a really good RPG, it's way better than Expedition 33
>>730708006>when maelle wants to preserve her painted world of ariamis, it's because she likes gustave, not because the world is worth saving or anything.YES, MAELLE IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE 16 YO WITH INSANE GUILT COMPLEX BECAUSE HER BROTHER DIED, SHE DOESN"T CARE ABOUT THIS WORLD SHE ONLY CARES ABOUT VERSO + her family in that world(Gustave, Emma and Sophie) because they let her forget her real life
>>730713785>>730713837how do we respond to this....
>>730707658Yes I agree.
Is there any point in using any of the archetypes but the royal ones once you get to the end of the game?
Dropped this dog shit when I was in the final stretch just before fighting Louis, dogshit pacing.
how does this work
>>730709026Axel was so shit tho, Slam or Outlaw on the other hand is bullshit.
>>730728617yes, and so did (you)
>>730728457in his defense he was probably just a dumbass kid who didn't know what a "drag queen" was
>>730701232I remember as a kid thinking the design was so stupid it was cool, but didn't want to play a black dude.
>>730701232
Here is hoping Nintendo will tard wrangle Fromsoft to make Duskbloods amazing like Sony/Japan Studio used to do with Demon's Souls and Bloodborne
>>730728840>metacritics user ratingIrrelevant, fucking corey in the house is number 2. Youre Euro slop lost.
>>730727335Sure they can, it’s price for value. There’s one million PC exclusive and 25 Nintendo games. Probably less for you personally if you haven’t bought one already. Most people would spend the 600, play breath of the wild then this, and then it would become a paperweight.
>>730729135don't forget that if you have good enough rig you can do other things on it like animations, blender, AI porn
So we aren't going to talk about how the game is going to be a shitty battle royale?
>>730729135>There’s one million PC exclusive and 25 Nintendo games.Lmao there's hundreds of Nintendo exclusives, most of those PC only games are irrelevant indie games that die the day they're released.
So... is Abbie hated just because she's buff, and not a model with A cup sized tits and a massive ass? If so, why are gamers so pathetic?
>>730727598>What a meaningful discussion we're having, wouldn't you agree?That is the level of discussion you were engaging in, yes,
>>730728437You don't have a point, you have a bunch of greentext in all caps because you desperately want TLOU2 to be considered a good revenge story. A good revenge story ends with the protagonist actually getting their revenge, TLOU2 did not end that way. Fact is, most people find getting revenge to be incredibly cathartic, the inverse that catharsis comes from breaking the cycle of revenge is simply not true.
>>730728437all caps doesnt make your point any sharper. John Wick is a killer who lost everything he cared about to evil thugs, so he kills them. That's it.
>>730728643I have? Surely you can point where, especially compared to "people" I was arguing with?>>730728648>>730728747I can't believe I have to explain this: neither of my posts (>>730728437 >>730727598) reflect my genuine opinion of the movie(s) but this is precisely the way TLOU detractors argue, as seen in this and many previous threads, which generally make for a shitty discussion
>>730728937Ellie doesn't get revenge. John Wick does.Ellie: 0John Wick: 1If Cuckman wrote John Wick, he would have had John Wick kill 200 people with dubious morals, gotten to the shitbag who killed his dog, and then break down crying and let him go, because killing is like bad and stuff.
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-new-owner-of-gog-discusses-taking-on-steam-the-devil-of-drm-and-following-in-nightdives-footsteps>"I think what Nightdive is doing is the perfect example of what we would like to embark on: have these IPs, bring them to your engine, make them work, play better than ever, potentially do a spiritual successor of the game, or maybe even a new installment of the game, like what they're doing with System Shock."
>>730728647Any confirmed examples?
Fake NewsThe quote is from a guy at GOG before the buyout. The owner says they have to reevaluate the idea.>If you had asked me two weeks ago, I would probably have given you the same answer as Bartosz did during Gamescom: that it only feels natural for GOG to expand on its business model and get even closer to the value creation, to the creative side of things for gamers. Today, I would say that we need to talk, and I hope it will be only natural.
>>730727561>>730727614Remakes. Sure, why not? Took them long enough.
>>730728542Sleeping dogs remake.. . Honestly, if the games are awesome, I psy gladly 50.
>>730728863>open source emulator projectsWorking for free, eh? Good idea. Might lead to problems with profitability, but rich people don't care, that's what banks are for. Problem is, gog isn't rich.
TAU WILL TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE
>>730724650Source? Yandex keeps mistaking it for Undyne (which is based).
Is Dawn of War a base building RTS like Age of Empires/Starcraft or is it closer to Company of Heroes?

*mindbreaks your favourite vtuber*
>>730724131creative use of level designs, doors, levers, enemy placements, traps, and fogwalls to keep retard spammers from blitzing through the game is objectively good design. Anyone who finds it tedious or annoying is their problem.
>>730724234this. one of my favorite things to do in iron keep was lure enemies to this one platform and pull the lever to dunk said platform into the lava.i know you're not allowed to like ds2, especially on /v/, but i live how it lets you interact with the environment in a way the other 2 don't
Dark Souls 2 GOODDark Souls 3 BAD
I don't play soulslop and I don't watch vtubers. So what now?
>>730722617 cope all you want but that’s the most boss variety and experimental mechanics the series had. DS2 might trip on its own ambition but at least it's not just “lol Lothric knights again.”
Did you rike it?
Amazing game but even the devs making something as great as this didn't realize that Sekiro combat thrives from bosses that stop their attack string when you deflect and counterattack themHere it's just the usual 2D fare of some giant dude hopping around the screen
>>730655164why are you comparing it to system shock?
>>730727932Yeah, Nine Sols is probably the most passive parry game I've played. It embodies the Taoist philosophy of inaction.
>>730725110 God, same. I got curious, tried to sequence-break a little and boom-door permanently locked, NPC vanished or something, and no way back out. Spent like 6 hours looking for a fix before realizing I just had to restart. Sucks 'cause the game is gorgeous but it clearly wasn't built with any leniency for going off the rails.
>>730729192Mind giving a slightly longer rundown of the sequence break? I'm gonna play Ori 2 this year and don't want that to happen to meIf it's some fucked-up jump that barely works or something then it's fine, I never try to force those
The original movie game. What are our thoughts on it?
>>730727161anon? your sega cd?
>>730727532sega cd never existed. its all a psyop
the human sections are very very bad and dont hold up
>>730727161It was Kino as fuck. I didn't expect a movie game actually being good at all as a child, so it really surprised me. Probably not as good, if you are playing it knowing it's the "good movie game".
>>730728470 true, but the atmosphere carried hard. those tribal drums, the fog, the sound of distant creatures screeching-felt more immersive than it had any right to. still, every time I had to shoot a centipede with two bullets and a spear just so it would die, I reconsidered my life choices.
Play Final Fantasy 10.Now.
>>730699960Fans of viking metal may recognize the gentlemen in this image as members of the band Amon Amarth. I like their song Versus The World
>>730700172NTA, but this was the first title that Uematsu stepped back and let two younger composers do most of the work as he took more of a supervisor position. So you are objectively wrong by virtue of the game's own credits lmao.
>>730700582I don't think they would wait to do X after VIII. Iirc X was Japan's favorite FF when they did a big poll a few years ago. Since remakes seem to be made based on what's the most popular games rather than the ones that would benefit from a remake the most.
>>730683098Because it's not your tastes--I guess Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Let Us Cling Together had forgettable osts too?
>>730698998The only thing that's genuinely better in the new one is the font.
people see a game with less than 10 reviews and assume it failed because it's badoftentimes, they are incorrectthe game failed because the developer severely overestimated the organic exposure their game would receive purely from existing on steamvalve has kept the requirement of external initial promotion as a subtle secret for indies, letting people shadow drop games in hopes that enough people will play it for it to blow up, but this never happensyou must generate at least $10,000 of gross revenue within a 14 day period, at any point during your games existence on steam, for valve to consider it a "real" game and begin promoting itwe see many games flop because the developer assumed they would enjoy fair discoverability, drop their game, receive low reviews, and then cement their game as a failure due to potential buyers assuming it's bad because of its low review countvery brutal cyclethe meta promo strat is to spam promotional content on youtube shorts, farm enough wishlists to estimate that 10k in 14 day revenue period, and then hope your game is actually good enough to continue gaining momentum on steam once it experiences real algorithmic promotion
>>730728217>ugly femaleLmao everytime. Only a subhuman westoid with zero artistic sense would publish female characters that look like ogres and consider it good enough
>>73072054299% of indie games are shit. Pic related is the minimum level of quality it needs to have to even be worth checking out.
>>730728217>FPS RPGI'm so sick of the RPGification of every genre.
>>730728797>if it's not like my japshit tranny slop I'm not checking it out!Okay Raswami
>>730728356I keep confusing it with Megabash, the kaiju fighting game that went from full OCs to Godzilla, Ultraman and Gamera licensed DLC. Just wish the DLC included stages and music.
Hi /v/. Is the demons souls remake a good starting point for the souls series or should I play dark souls first? I did play a very small amount of elden ring years before but otherwise I know little about the series
>>730714204It's a better entry point than the OG for most games because of the QoL and you won't realize the few things that were changed. It's the most overhated game on /v/ because it's still a PS5 exclusive.
>>730728868>It's a better entry point than the OG for most gamesFor most gamers*
>>730728868you're a shit eating retard, it's the most soulless remake of all time
>>730729032>it's the most soulless remake of all timeWarcraft 3 Reforged is and it's not even close. There will NEVER be a remake more soulless than that. Ever.
>>730729234Demons Souls is way worse.
Is there a particular reason uncs request for this Fire Emblem game to get remade more than any other old FE game? What's so great about this in particular? Is it the name?
>>730727669>needs to be mostly thrown out.So true sis we need to turn it into another GBA reskin with all of the interesting mechanics stripped.
>>730703926It, Thracia, and 3/12 are the only games not available in the US. Of thodr games 4 makes the most sense to want remade.
>>730727669I like it
Marriage with Marianne!
>>730727869When did they release 6 outside of Japan?
