Can someone please explain how the fuck this company is still supposedly going strong when the industry around them is crashing with mass layoffs and sales failures?
>>736375945They make good games.No I don't care if you think they're bad.
>>736375945They make consistently good games. They are, for the most part, the most reliable out of the Big 3. Granted, nowadays, they're just as bad as Sony, but it's simply too hard to shake the trust people have in Nintendo.
>>736375945>Nintendo: all of the biggest blockbuster video game movies>Sony: spent 3 decades trying and failing to make video games into “artistic” moviesThey’re observably just way more competent than the other option.
>>736375945Rest of the industry run on greed. Valve, Xbox, PS. Live service slop. For some reason most don't wanna make great games. Capcom is fixing their shit too
>>736375945the rest of the industry relies entirely on an endless cycle of contractors leading to zero retention of actual talent

What's your favourite chinkino game?
>>736372785It both is and isn't.On the one hand, protagonists very often get gift wrapped a bloodline/master/pill/whatever that skyrockets their potential, but at the very least they have to make the most of what they get themselves. They also generally respect the totem pole of power, meaning that the MC might be a stupidly over the top special snowflake, but the heavenly dragon emperor could still kill him with a raised eyebrow.Isekai generally downloads everything MCkun needs directly, so the bullshit power/class/race takes absolutely no effort to curbstomp the world as everyone he meets sucks his dick

Extra question. Favorite MK game?
>>736347246MKX, kano was so fucking fun
Why don't they use pre-rendered backgrounds anymore? This shit was full of soul and 3D over-the-shoulder was a dramatic downgrade.
>>736373518We're at the point where if you use a prerendered background, it stands out in a bad way. Your options>match the visual fidelity of onscreen models, which looks worse as you go above the target resolution (target resolutions are poorfag copes in 2026)>make it look a lot better than the onscreen models, which creates a stark contrast. target resolution problem still applies>make it look like it doesn't fit the style. target resolution problem still appliesYou can do static camera angles with realtime 3D, and it will be an overall better solution. Prerendered cutscenes and backgrounds were done when you had to show the player something that wasn't a shimmery mess of pixels.>>736374197Keep in mind, most of /v/ is in Brazil playing a bootleg NES ROM of Crimson Desert. See >>736374393. He lives in the 20th century.
>>736373072Any living man with red blood running through his veins understands the inherent necessity of having control over the camera to be able to scope his surroundings and plan accurately Only subservient slaves want to be wowed by static camera angles and carefully planned flashy colors on the screenOne day you might finally understand the world and achieve the masculinity to understand this basic concept
Why don't you try OP, tell us how it goes
>>736373072People cheated heavily in these games by removing the pre renders and it does all sorts of funky stuff. You can skip half of FF7 by just preventing the disc from loading stuff by opening the lid.
Prerendered backgrounds allowed for some neat tricks, especially in an environment like the PSX where you knew the target resolution. FF8 put fake character models (that you could interact with) on the background image so it looked like areas were more populated than they were. The problem was it became more and more obvious when the resolution went further past PSX native.
Play Trickcal.
>>736372563there is a 1$ pack on the billigames site that gives you straight up a copy of speaki the actual character
>>736314252Cute Characters but dogshit mobile game
>>736375021Yeah, it would be great if they made a proper PC game with these cute gremlins.
how big is it on phone? i have to see if i have to delete a few gb of porn for it
>>736376085>storing porn on phone
Now that Justice is officially dead, do you feel like the game can be saved?
>>736373019Hi spamton
I wonder how a hypothetical Dark Emperors match would go for the GO cast. I feel like it'd be Kirino, Nishiki, Taiyou/Hakuryuu and the Shinsei Raimon cast. It's them against Galaxy Eleven
>>736373320As long as Kageyama is in its good, he's the best go male character and was done dirty
>>736374223Everyone on Shinsei Dark Emporers has a Keshin now. Is that good enough?
>>736375441Yeah, could work and make raimon better characters
Can you identify a video game character from their breasts alone?
>>736366304Easy, it's Sin Run Kaligula. Next one?
>>736373452It's actually jackie chan
How come they have never been able to top Shinovi Versus? It mogs the shit out of every other Senran game.
>>736366304Only real gamers can.
>>736371506>>736373346Too limited. You can touch their breasts, ass, belly, hands and head. Depending on the girl's personality is how they'll react and what they'll say.They added a new feat (paid only) that through a bubble you can touch the girls' thighs, but I think it's only for a few days of their birthdays.And yes, they can get too annoyed, mad or embarrassed and will cover their whole bodies if you touch them too much, which doesn't allow you to touch their bodies for some little time.
>Dude we can't kill this dragon so lets just send him to the future and let someone in that time deal with him lmao Why were these faggots let into Sovngarde?
>>736347635>>The Empire let Hammerfell leave so they could go to war with Thalmor via proxy and if Ulfric wasn't a Thalmor agent he'd he'd do the sameThis is bullshit headcanon based on nothing, though. A lot of people go>but muh legion of imperial troopsas if that was the Empire deliberately helping Hammerfell secede, but that's based on erroneous information because>those troops were left behind years before Hammerfell seceded, when the Empire's legions were being forced to abandon Hammerfell to the Thalmor>it was a single legion of a singe general's forces and a decision he made himself>because the Legion is made up of local conscripts it was most likely Redguard troops that stayed behind to protect their own homeland instead of being forced to die for Cyrodiil like thousands of Redguards and Nords did in the Great War, anyways>it was not a bunch of Imperials marching into Hammerfell to help them secede from the Empire like a bunch of people think>the only source we have for this even happening is a single Imperial legatus who is explicitly an unreliable narrator who's trying to defend the Empire's choice to make peace with the Dominion, and he has a ton of cope in his book about how the Redguards totally couldn't have done it without the Empire (despite the fact that they obviously did)>the Redguards had already suffered the worst of the fighting in the Great War because they had been the main front and the Empire had deliberately fucked them over by forcing them to abandon their land and then selling them out in the Concordat>the entire point of the Great War is to show that the Empire doesn't value or protect its subjects/provinces, because it shows that the Nords and Redguards had to hard-carry Cyrodiil by sacrificing thousands of lives to win the war, only to then be immediately sold out in the resulting treaty (Redguards losing land, Nords losing their religion)The Empire just objectively fucked Hammerfell. That's the point.
>>736365090There's at least a running theme of them sticking with the weird shit in ESO, so there's at least a precident for it staying around. You've also got a lot of New Blood in the form of Esoteric Mod Developers now actively working for Bethesda.6 being shit in the background, however, might not be up to Bethesda anymore.
>>736375782ESO kind of ruined the mystery. Back in the days of esoteric texts like Shot son of Shor there was this idea that the cave is a place beyond time where Lorkhan gets to pass his own torch to his alternative self for another kalpa, it was a cave where all Lorkhans were born across timelines basically, and since Lorkhan is tied to Sithis by being the "unstable agent" there was some connection there. In ESO they literally went>There is a giant black hole leading to the literal void of Sithis, that's the cave, and it is located in Blackreach under Snow-ThroatLook up Dark heart on uesp.Basically they explained what cave is but in the most literal and uninspiring way. At least you get to see it and it looks kind of cool as an effect.
>>736370430Arkay likely went God in a Previous Kalpa
>>736263195good schizo scrolls thread, a nordic farmer knows shit about kalpas and the godhead, he just drinks mead and picks cabbagemuch like a parallel to our real world, there are and were crazy things that got obscured in time, or are a guarded secret

>>736375567I have absolutly no fucking idea what is going on.Too many new characters. I am not even sure which one is main one in this. The girl which has shitty life and boyfriend fucked her and she didn't like it? The new group who will try fuck with KAngel? KAngel?

>>736376136Holy fuck. I didn't know they are so retarted. Sound like trash plots and conceptions.>>736376210Nowadays, everything get adaptation. I wouldn't be surprise if they did Miside anime at some point.
The weekend is here so what fanart have you drawn?
>>736375548She is supposed to be a genetically engineered feline-human hybrid, designed purposefully to combine human and feline features into a cohesive whole. Essentially, she is my take on a "realistic" cat girl for my biotech autism setting.
>>736376046Not gonna lie I thought that guy had a massive cock. Not gay btw
>>736327370What tips does this thread have about starting to draw?
>>736376350Just draw, anon.
>>736376462Not a great tip when you don't even know where to start.
Finally, Persona 4 is playable.
>>736376048yeah
>>736375439The difference between transvestites and transsexuals is that the former have not forgotten that they are just pretending.
>mod named "remove cringe events">doesn't remove the entire Marie SL
>>736374876>Don't be gender non-conformingapparently this is in all Atlus games (from what I can tell from /v/), which should tell you something about the audiences of these games.Most people really don't need a reminder.
>>736375439Hiring men to dress as women, because women are a pain to deal with in any professional setting, is a far cry from writing stories that glorify the act.>>736375440>Properly told, stories with Crossdressing are the best antidote to "Gender ideology"Properly told, stories about troons cast them as the unambiguous villains, yes.>That's why trannies hate characters like Naoto and Bridget so much and push so hard to rewrite them."Bridget" isn't exactly a hard rewrite, already representing modern Japan's "otokonoko" blight.
Re1 RE engine remake is next, i will prove it now.>Spencer assets in 9>they put spiders in 9 to see if the normies will complain about there being no option to disable arachnids, they may or may not be developing a "no arachnids" mode now>RE1make is the only remake to make sense, why would they not remake the Chris games in a linear way like the Leon gamesDusk tongue my anus
The only RE game that deserves a AAA 600 million dollars remake is this one
>>736375790This map looks fun, can't wait to play it with the new remake
>>736375819RE fans are in denial about the originals being separate games.I saw some "full series" challenge run (no saves, or something, I don't remember) on YouTube, but the dude only played through the remakes.
>>736375101>CV is supposed to build up the rivalry between Wesker and Chris in RE5.Retards keep saying this like Chris and Wesker had more than two interactions in the whole game
>>736375924I don't know why they don't just do first person RE as a survivor remake series.I hate first person in mainline.
Its dive season and I'm diving Sue Storms backline.
>>736375138this is just a cover, the last time they did this the rivals designs were inside the book at the very end

>>736375715>Rogue's ability copy is the only "accurate" part of her kit.Rogue punches and flies lol
>>736375779>>736376040If Rogue's hover on a double digit cooldown is what you consider "accurate" then there should be no problem adding another spider person whose web slinging is minimal, either.

>>736369786>I think Mass Effect is my Star Wars,You're probably going to get dogpiled for that line, but I get what you mean anon.Personally I e run out of copium for future products and have just been binging my favorite EU books again.
>>736375748I liked Kai.
>>736369786it hasn't become star wars yet, I think the amount of good content still outweighs the bad...if you forget andromeda, and the animated movie, and the ending of 3, and Kai Leng, and the mobile games, and the last book, and most of the comics...
>>736365256I don't understand why Amazon insists on buying all these IPs only to destroy them. Does Bezos hate people enjoying things or something?
>>736367661They did that with Mass Effect 2 and most people seemed to like it. Mass Effect 2Completely retconned and replaced the story from the first game, and told a bunch of side stories about individual characters. The show could rape the story/narrative just as much as Mass Effect 2 and be fine, seeing as how it is the most popular.

I remember when I last played this game at 16 years old I met someone that got married in game, and one of the people getting married dropped a million of the ingame currency on me. Good times.>>736364581>>736364649Yeah. Would french kiss her while running my fingers through her hair. >>736372336Hime cut, the two ahoges, and bottom right.
>>736376123The enjoyable gameplay experience of grinding low level mobs for 3 hours to spawn a boss that doesn't do anything? Wow what an interesting experience! It is so interesting that surely only a special someone like you could enjoy that! I totally wouldn't be able to understand why you find that fun but you do you! That surely is more interesting than actually interacting and exploring the world, which you also mentioned but apparently that is now boring and lame, but sitting there grinding a shitty forgotten area for 3 hours straight just to see a sprite you can see on the wiki for 5 seconds is super totally worth it! What a great experience!
>>736374375Where's Tiger?
>>736372173Take me fucking back.God, I remember my first zakum run
>>736374090Magatia actually was classic, Ariant and Magatia were pre-BigBang.Romeo and Juliet PQ only became popular in post-Big Bang when they made it a level 70-120 PQ (I think that was the new level range), and people just grinded at the middle stage until the timer ran out for optimal exp. I remember that's what everyone was doing in 2012 around the time Phantom and Jett were the new classes.The real classic party grinds in 2005-2006 were at Ant Tunnel 1 (in Sleepywood Dungeon). It was a big map that zig-zagged down to the right, and had very high zombie mushroom & horny mushroom spawn. It was actually meta to party up even with the lackluster party exp bonuses back in those days.
are they right?>Crimson Desert is fun to play, but it is such a cynical amalgamation of borrowed mechanics. It is Now That's What I Call Gaming plucked off a gas station shelf, for better & worse.

>>736373270Why are journalists so evil
>>736376090It doesn't show quite literally anything though.>>736376134Now with that it's finally starting to make sense. I guess if I don't like FPS games, I'll just take a completely random 2 minute footage of me shooting at guys or something, and then post it to a Valorant or Call of Duty thread, and I'll try to act like I'm not the one retarded here. Sounds fun.
are there any alternatives to KSP?I really like the early game, slowly making progress but then at some point the contracts become really retarded and not fun at all and the progression feels to quick
