which predatory mechanic is the worst?
>>736203341>FOMOEasily the worst because it locks you into playing one game for eternity if you don't ever want to miss anything, and is further compounded by every other mechanic.>GachaLocking content behind potentially hundreds of dollars if you're a lucklet is gay as fuck.>BattlepassJust a worst version of DLC.>DLCRanges from annoying to cancer. Little tidbits that should have already been in the game aren't that bad, but when it comes to map packs and expansions for multiplayer games that split the playerbase then it's fucking ridiculous.>DailiesNot much of a problem if you only play one or two games, but quickly becomes annoying if you're invested in any others.>GrindingDepends on the game to be honest. It's unnecessary in singleplayer games, but if it's an MMO or something then it's really nothing to complain about.
>>736203341>FOMOI hate it the most, but at the same time I love the limited events that will change game world later, like at the earliest stages of GW2 and at some point SoT. Don't feel like it is a FOMO tho>Battle PassTechnically worst parts of FOMO 99% of time>GachaGambling addicts farming. Somewhat acceptable in cosmetics but a slippery slope>DailiesI swear, game having dailies is putting to much pressure on me and I most likely drop it much faster. I will play it when I want, I have enough chores in the life>DLCI will buy whole pack 5 years later for the fraction of the original game price anyway. Paradox can be fucked tho>Grinding The somewhat honest. In mobile games are at unacceptable levels, but mobile games are not games and just acceptable addiction for the stupid and weak
I don't play games with any of these well except DLC because if it's not invasive it doesn't effect enjoyment of the base game
>>736203341All of these feed into one another, though. Making the game grindy incentivizes all the other things. Dailies are grind. Battle Passes are frequently FOMO. Gacha is frequently FOMO.
>>736203341gambling is fun when you can actually get money from it. battlepasses are gay because they expire. dlc is okay when the expansions are actually comprehensive for the price and not a total rehash.
is this decisive proof that critics are shills?
>>736212527Never played it but I heard they updated everything and it's ten times better now

>>736212631>I wouldn’t trust the judgment of anyone who has put less than 50 hours into the game, honestly.
Playing through Remake before first time doing Integrade, then gonna do Rebirth. I really soured on the controls by the end of my last playthrough, but on a replay, they seem fine. I think the issue is once you start losing it's nigh impossible to stop the snowball. Game's still very fun, though. How do you all feel about Time Jannie: The game, 5 years later?
loved it day one, love it still, rebirth not so much
>>736212080I like the combat until it just gets old, and really fast too. Materia builds also only make an impact at end game. They did make an effort. You have all these characters and then the enemies all have their own gimmicks. But all those don't matter when enemies go poof before you're even able to enjoy them. Maybe if they didn't lock hard mode behind NG+. Or make it Very Hard mode even. I dunno. Same for rebirth.
Star Citizen is not a scam
>>736175498How does this game keep making money though? Even as far back of 2016 people knew it was a scam. It's been over a decade......the more people have yelled scam = more people spending money on it? I don't understand how its still getting money!
>>736212487Isn't that Elite Dangerous? I thought Star Citizen only has one star system and no black holes.
>>736212537Maybe i meant wormhole.
>>736199775>ship as big as an entire citybalancing this game is going to be a nightmare
>>736212487If you want a decent space game that lets you land on planets play No Mans SkyIf you want a decent space game play X4 Foundations

CURRENT BLAST STATUS: HAVING
>fight colossal cyclops with warrior>climb to top and do heavy attack>face plant and dieI think the Dragon took my brain instead of my heart.
I do like how you fistbump and high-five your pawn now after a battle.
>Can't do a tornado or suplexCD won
I dunno if it's Bestiary or some other mod I installed, but enemies are starting to just run away, only to come back after a few seconds to attack if I turn my back and start walking away. Kind of annoying to deal with. Can't even chase them down with Fighter's rushing stab attack because they run fast enough that they get out of range the moment the stab comes out.
Happy Halloween everyanon. I hope you're eating lots of turkey and figgy pudding.What games are you playing this spooky season?
>>736211931That's a scary idea. I hope he just found something better to do. Or he's drawing greater things elsewhere.
>>736212059That would be the reasonable thing to do. Best to improve your style to the point that your old scribbles could never be traced back to you once you go pro.
>>736212339there's something soulful about 4chan doodles. I save them all.But there's plenty from this artist that are lost to time. And the browsers who saved them are gone.
>>736212409One should always save them, or at least the ones they care about. I'm not an Ashley oldfag but you clearly are, so you're doing god's work. Preserve all you can.
>>736212661Aye aye.
beat this the other day (and I do mean "beat")lets have a thread
>>736202327Did you return to the cycles or accept peace?
>>736211125I think I would rather exist in eternal combat and strife as a cyborg
another studio brought low by w*rhammer slop. *sigh*
>>736202327I "beat" the game once last week on the mentor route. It was pretty cool but really confusing. Are there gameplay changes or new maps in other routes?
>>736212638yes, some new maps, but not that many. maybe just 1-2 per route.
Whats on your to do list today greymane? I'm working on the witch quests and then going to capture farm animals.
>>736212316looks like a cult
>>736212316Get the cloth vendor's trust to 100 and you can buy the best shoes in the game for move speed.
>>736212316they honestly should of cut the Abyss Walker and civil war plot and embraced the sandbox and go for a skyrim-lite.It would have been amazing to create my own character and go to a mage university in the CD universe
>>736212382i've completely neglected the trust system for 90 hours, any other important shit to grab?
>>736212402Max trust weapon vendors for contracts so your camp vendor can also sell you fodders to extract abyss gear for synthesis.You can farm materials if you have excess food by gifting to random NPCs on the road. Check what NPCs are equipped for hints of what they will gift you in return. Grilled food are easy to stock up.Farmers holding hoe would give you 20 grains, for example. Miners holding pickaxe would give you ore, gems. Commoners holding nothing would just give you furniture which isn't worth much.
Are you ready for Dess and Asriel to have the most badass Dark World designs ever?

April Fool's!
Aerisu. This is how women act
>>736211189...Did you unequip Aerith in advance?
>>736210001Plenty. There is alot to hate even without playing the game. I try to watch it and it's absolutely terrible. Imagine Farcry with all the cringe inducing anime garbage you see in a tales jrpg but with a realistic coating.
>>736206926Don't compare my Terra to your whore.
I'm in chapter 12, how long till I'm done? Starting to get tired

>>736206134/thread
>>736206084...who?
>>736206863No people just saw the culture war shit and didn’t play it. Maybe don’t put culture war shit in games.
Wow forgot this was a thing, i remember the trailers looking cool .guess it sucked.
This year's April Fools joke in Yugioh Master Duel was duels that start with 15 cards + "Infinite Cards".What did (You) think of it?

>>736208167ethnically ambiguous alma mogs unfortunately.Even cutie patootie world handler does. It is what it is.
>>736208167I too enjoy lying on the internet. Also, Sophia is a character that went on a world tour with you. Aisha did literally nothing.
The guildmarm is quite literally your portable guild contact, she travels with you and handles all the paperwork, she knows that you're the one to get it done.
>>736208547me when I lie
What causes this mentality?

>>736199056You anti parry niggers are so fucking gay. Builds in EX33 do matter. Just because a parry can negate damage doesn’t mean that people wanna spend 10 hours on a super boss with the potential to die in 1 hit if they fuck up a parry. The average gamer isn’t Ongbal so being able to build around say shields to mitigate the risk of death is completely viable. Sam goes for burn builds. Just because Sekiro ass fucked your mom doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about.
>>736197986>Persona is about being true to yourself,Is that why Personafags are always obnoxious cancerous faggots?
I tried watching anime besides DBZ. They simply weren't good.
What is it with the third game in so many series being either the most influential of the bunch or the mark of a major turning point in the franchise?>Warcraft 3>Fallout 3>GTA 3>Witcher 3>Super Mario Bros 3>Metal Gear Solid 3>Elder Scrolls 3>Far Cry 3>Tekken 3>Persona 3>Quake 3>Ultima 3
technology was advancing pretty quickly in the past, so the difference between what was available between the 1st and 3rd games was actually very significant.technology has stagnated so there's nothing mindblowing about a 3rd game anymore
>First game establishes the idea>Second game refines the same thing>Third game does something new
>>736212327Famously many NES games had the opposite effect when it comes to the 2nd and 3rd game. 2nd game did some left-field shit to mixed results and then the 3rd game went back to basics with refinement in mind.
