Shadowverse is shutting down after 10 years, say something nice about it before it dies
which predatory mechanic is the worst?
>>736203341From least to worst:>Grinding>FOMO>DLC>Dailies>Gacha>Battle Pass
>>736203341Chapter releases.
>>736203341>which predatory mechanic is the worst?It doesnt matter cuz they all always come packaged together
>>736203341In gacha you get all of them except for DLCAnyway DLC is the least bad because it doesn't stop you from pirating everything while the others necessarily mean it's live service garbage
>>736203341The most egregious to me are those combined. It's rare to see all six at once, but BP+FOMO and GACHA+FOMO are near ubiquitous today while also being the most damning. The "best" of those is probably Grinding, but it's rare too to see an instance these days where Grinding isn't accompanied by some paid method to skip it or speed it up considerably. "Live" (((Service))) is of course the real culprit to blame at the end of the day since it's a release model promising minimal developer effort and content for maximum player engagement and money
How would you r8 this year’s April Fools out of 10?
Have you guys noticed how aggressive the filters are these days? Good lord. Let me try something: Captcha bad. Captcha not work.
>>736194264It took me a long time to get here, but it has finally occurred to me that Ami is best girl.
Made me realize I don't give the slightest shit about the last 10 years of FOTMs. This site is alien to me.
I've been working all day and just got back. I can't even figure out what the prank is this year. I can't even browse this site on Firefox like I normally do, I had to switch browsers for pages to load. Didn't they do some stupid shit with the captcha this time?
>>736203818Yes it's a 20% chance of getting the funny captchas per post.
"we respect the source material" starter packAt least 60% of the girlbossing in these movies is completely unnecessary and just makes it more boring. There are like 10 minutes of Peach doing the exact same thing as Mario just to show that she can do what a man can do instead of having her do her own thing with her own subplot (ideally one without action so the pacing can breathe a bit)
>>736203712Daisy's Japanese manual description literally describes her as being tomboyish. She was ALWAYS meant to be the spicy alternative to sweet demure Peach.Again, the problem is that because Peach and Rosalina are already girlbosses, there is NOTHING that sets Daisy apart aside from the fact she's going to be Luigi's love interest.
>>736203243That's literally just a fact. It's like Mark Twain said, never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. We live in a culture that's too afraid to treat stupid people like they're stupid. That is a mistake.
>>736203320which is lazy and retarded.
>>736203716Thanks for the additional example
>>736203790>tomboyish = girlbossfucking retard

>Google's new quantization method allows small cards to run HUGE models (16gb card running a 70B)>Kimi's new context method allows for basically infinite context>Claude source code leakedHoly shit AI bros, it's fucking happening. We're about to dump countless enormous buckets of jizzum. Just two more weeks, unironically. Believe.
>>736200484Make it yourself. I have a dodgy nethack thing where I use LLMs to drive the agents. I went a bit too far and it demands spacial reasoning which I'm struggling to get consistent, but if you dial it back a bit it should be pretty easy. I can program it myself but I'm lazy and most of the code was written by claude anyway so it should be doable for a codelet.
>>736202550I'll load up ST long enough to give you some better specifics, but the biggest part is keeping it vague. None of my freeform cards like that are with any specific setting baked in, I'll just tell it a tone I want and establish it a bit more in the initial prompt. But IIRC I did a fair bit of "when {{user}} explores, he may or may not find other monsters, adventurers, and even nothing at all. If {{user}} does encounter something it may or may not be more dangerous than he is." shit like that, and the Cydonia mix is on the ball enough to understand that. Also not doing any actual dice rolls or anything, not trying to get full D&D out of it, just loosey goosey text adventuring
Haven't played with these in a bit, did they unretard gemini and deepseek yet?

Enough time has passed that people have warmed up to the StarForce series and like it now, what about you anon, are you playing the games?discuss the series
>Close Encounters trophy says to kill an enemy on the second row>you actually have to kill an enemy on Mega Man's rowDid they translate incorrectly or is there just an imaginary row behind you?
>>736203123Helps you're still getting 3 games for one
>>736203054>Consider how much more dead power rangers is compared to 2007.You realize that's exactly when Power Rangers started dying, right? Viewership was plummeting and Disney sold the rights back to Saban two years later, at which point they tanked the brand and Hasbro went on to completely murder it.Meanwhile Zeztz is getting a stimulsub release and Gridman is a successful media franchise somehow. Old Toku is getting official rereleases and doing pretty well according to Discotek and Shout Factory.

Just got around to beating this game on my backlog. Was a ridiculously long game (like 70ish hours to beat most of the stuff).It was fun, was able to beat like 95% of the puzzles without looking at hints, but some of the reflexes required for this made me feel my unc status. What did you guys think of this game and what do you think about the supposed sequel that is coming out this year?
So, is it for me? I'm a 35+ boomer that likes Wild Arms/Golden Sun/early Tales games dungeons.
>>736203624I like the ricochet puzzles, I think the longer ones should have been split up and placed into different rooms individually.
>>736203776>Wild Arms/Golden Sun/early Tales gamesI only play good games
>>736203771The Asimov guy was annoying. Obvious self-insert, not reliable (kept lying and misleading me), plus he was ugly, and the Evotar he chose for him self made me want to steal his lunch money
>>736203425I _love_ CrossCode and I'm looking forward to Alabaster Dawn.
When did you realize that STR builds were the only way to go for real men?
>>736203524When i realised that in most arpgs, mages are the only class that are weirdly gimped. Warriors and rogues can still use magic, and ranged attacks, and aoes, while still having good defense. And compared to the other martial classes, strength based classes tend to be better (not always though)
is this smug faggot's game ever getting an official translation?
>>736201451I don't want to fuck debiru though, I just want to bully him and torture him sexually for my own amusement.
>>736201007What kind of TF?
>>736201451erm maybe they could just touch penises???
>>736198718tickling, hypnosis, light bondage, a few transformations, a touch of slime, a teensy bit of ryona, tentacles (screen goes black), and I might have missed something
>>736203645>screen goes blackNow that's just disappointing
Cute Sisters.
>>736184682obviously Peach got sent away before the events of the book
>>736185473>>736192484it was pretty obvious she was going to job considering all the scenes we were shown of her prior to the final trailer was just that and the storytime part
>>736186292Jr was too young to be hindered by lust

>The Switch 2 launch boosted third-party game sales by over 75%, adding $1 billion in revenue.> With Sony and Microsoft raising prices of their consoles to astronomical heights, developers and publishers could now be eyeing the Switch 2 as a more viable platform because it's much more accessible than those of Nintendo's competitors.Seems like Nintendo will keep holding back the gaming industry now.
>last minute panic buy ps5>wait for the switch 2 price drop/oot remake edition>buy/borrow nephew's switch 1what should I do?
>>736189141Me
>>736203435Get a Switch 2. A price drop won't happen, so getting one now is your best option. That is, if you can name three to five must-have titles you HAVE to play.>Bananza>Air Riders>Mario Kart World>Age of Imprisonmentare some games worth checking out.
>>736203435>>wait for the switch 2 pricenigga jewtendo raised the price of the switch 1 last year, if you want one, get one now before it goes up too
>>736189057>>735698791That's my subject line fucker
I don't understand what to do in Marathon. I don't even know what things I should grab/loot.
You need high IQ to play, stick to CoD
holy shit why is the modern gamer so cuckedthe fuck is this learned helplessnessit was funny reading this a bit but now i'm just sad
>>736201130>whered the marsthon threadsany time I express any positive sentiment toward the game I get hounded as a shill so I stopped talking about it in the bait threads here.
>>736202413dude he cries about dead liveservice slop more than whales cry for their waifus>>736202993based, fuck off shill
>>736197867if you are poor and just need quick cash: grab all the grey and greens in perimeter, kill players and take their shitif you are better geared: hit dire marsh and grab greens and blues, kill playersif you are good: hit pinwheel base in outpost, and kill players for their shitif you are bad at pvp: refund the game
I like just having nothing sometimes. It makes the world more believable. Like when you break into random houses in TES games especially Morrowind it's just a house. They have some candles and baskets full of food and maybe a book or two. Not everything needs a hidden door that leads to a dungeon and if you did include something like that the impact would be lessened if there were 50 of them.
>>736202162That's fine if there's something to interact with, no matter how small. Just an empty place with nothing to interact with or see like an easter egg like I often encountered in MMOs? Soulless.
>>736201828there is something there. a tower. what the comic meant to say is there is "no reward that is mechanically advantageous for my character here." but exploration is its own reward :)
>>736201828Enter
>>736203729>join PvP zone >PvP happensHow was I supposed to know?
Surely you can solve this Captcha
>>736202157Now that I have passed that captcha, what exactly should I post?
>>736193764Is Oscar is video games but is she really 4chan culture?
Wonder who this could be
>>736203616I don't know, I think I would easily guess it if there's a tattoo though.
>>736203616It's Asuna! The girl who I've spurted hundreds of times to!
>GOTY just dropped>not a single thread about itLook, I know /v/ is full of posers with shit taste, but can you guys talk about a good game for once? Pretty please?
This shit looks fucking atrocious
>slow as shit weapon in a quick movement platformerGrim! Not using
>>736196592>3 months in Hello developer. If you're making these claims you have shit tastes, or are delusional. >Looks up game>Literal Jew game>Mobile game companyOh you guys just actually hate video games.
Did grime1 have ranged weapons? This is interesting so far
>>736203503theres enough combat in every metroidvania, and theres exploration throughout the game always.
CURRENT BLAST STATUS: HAVING
>>736201319Because there are entirely too many of them, I see why people use mods to add some variety to the monster spawns.
I never really stopped playing. I come back to it every few weeks or a month since releasegod I hope the dlc rumors are true. I can't mod console
>>736176071
>>736172606DD:DA and DDO were Kinoshita (shits kino)
how is the game now versus release? i think i heard they fixed some of the cpu fps issues but that it caused new issues?
Videogames aren’t fun any more. I find reading books to be more enjoyable. Is this what growing up is supposed to be like?
I am 35 and still play at least an hour of games a day. Dunno how you guys give up, I love games too much.
>>736203461adulthood is leaving /v/ and going to other board
>>736203610I go on some other blue boards. This one is more active though. It’s probably not good.
>>736203029You haven't dopamine detoxed if you play games frequently even just 20 minutes at a time, go 3 months without it
>>736203029>20 minues a day without failFound the gacha addict.
Apparently it's basically unwatchable if you're not a superfan that knows all the references
>>736197712Is the spade book a reference to 3?
but im an autistic manchild who just wants to see vidya references in IMAX. Same deal as Ready Player 1
>>736195084Just like this year's April Fools then.

Sooo... whats next for the starfox franchise?
Why does Nintendo want me to fuck their characters so badly?
Who is he voiced by?
Next Star Fox plotFox and Falco slow pride shattering forced feminization due to lost bet or embarrassing blackmail. Star fox girls amusingly get involved in the process. Local chad Wolf not so smug when they band together to continue, using him as material.
>>736155367Kind of a bummer they gave DK the daddy issues in the last film, as I feel if there was any Nintendo character to give it to, it's this guy.>dad died tragically and left a gigantic shadow on him since childhood, so he spends his whole life trying to live up to that legacyYou don't even need to use it dramatically, plenty of kids movies (including past Illumination movies) have played it for laughs. He seems to not really mind that part of his life that much.
Tom Cruise 100% is gonna voice Star Wolf to keep the Top Gun jokes.
