>>729705380>implying FE7 Marcus doesn't fall offPost your endgame HHM Marcus' stats. Also, Jagen is definitely a true Jagen in FE3 book 1 too, he was literally my first ever death. Titania is also a true Jagen in FE9 Maniac mode.>>729705596Awakening is an odd case because it's nearly impossible to 'fall off' in that game when you can always just be a permanent backpack, like my Freddy ended up in my Lunatic run, but he definitely doesn't keep up with the other juggernauts.

The widescale fellation of E33 is, I must confess, a laughable phenomenon to observe.An "indie" game made on a $10 million budget, with a star-studded voice cast and the backing of wealthy investors, while making use of Unreal Engine stock assets - and all propped up by an emotionally manipulative storyline that anyone who's read a book or two beyond the shallow end of contemporary fiction will recognize is trite and mawkish - sweeping every award in 2025 is perfectly fitting.Mechanically, the game completes the illusion. It is a JRPG designed for normies who hate (or rather, are embarrassed to be associated with) JRPGs and are far more interested in an "accessible and immersive" experience. The result is a combat loop that flatters the player’s sense of participation while asking almost nothing of them beyond rhythmic compliance: press the button, watch the spectacle. It's Pavlovian.The narrative is less a story than a checklist of affective cues, engineered to provoke recognition rather than reflection. It's all handled with the kind of solemn obviousness that mistakes earnestness for depth. It insists upon emotion as a substitute for thought.That this design philosophy is rewarded so thoroughly speaks less to the game’s individual failings than to the current critical ecosystem surrounding games. Awards culture increasingly favours works that resemble prestige television. E33's critical success rests almost entirely on an aggressively curated emotional register. Of course, to question the shallowness of such experiences is to risk being framed as elitist, even as the industry openly celebrates projects engineered to offend no one and challenge nothing.Don't mistake my point. E33 is not a catastrophe. It is worse than that: it is exemplary. It represents the logical endpoint of a medium desperate for cultural legitimacy, chasing validation by mimicking the least demanding forms of "serious" art while hollowing out what once made its genres distinct.

The game deserves to die, but they're not gonna EoS their money printer funded by the mentally ill Japanese.
Do you think saving Marie will save the gamefrom EoS?
>raytracing is good when valve does it
>ray tracing is good when it doesnt jew up your frames
>>729713192>raytracing reveals the real architecture underneath the fake lightingPhenomenal!Bravo Kojima !!!
>>729713192Yes, Goy. Remember, it's okay when valve does it.
>>729713192raytracing is good if you're taking screenshotsbut losing 40fps during gameplay isn't worth it unless you're using a low refresh rate monitor for some reason
>>729713430Valve has always used raytracing. That's how their fucking lighting works. It's just prebaked. Fucking idiots.
What causes this?
>>729712704poor diet
>>729714270Kino
>>729713095No it doesnt. Comparatively speaking,every region in earth get the same amount of sunlight. At the equator every day of the year has 12 hours of sunlight and 12 of dark, whereas at temperate latitudes you'll have on average 8 hours of sunlight and 16 of dark in winter, and 16 hours of daylight and 8 of dark in the summer. What changes is the physical proximity to the sun and inclinaton of earth's axis of rotation, and thus the exposure to UV radiation. That is the reason why melanin exists, to protect from potentially carcinogenic radiations.

VCS was weird. Played the PS2 version for the first time a while back and enjoyed it to an extent.Feels like half the story got completely canned, and Marintez just being thrown in at the end was kinda shitty. Vic is also weird. He's so weak for a GTA protagonist and the shaving down of the story means the things he's supposed to give a shit about ends up not really meaning anything.Some of the missions were fucking stupid though, Holy shit. I remember dropping the game on PSP with the really early on forklift mission bit some of the later ones feel a little bit too hard and clunky to work on PSP. Especially since the aiming is closer to SA but without the cycling through targets.Missions were definitely more varied than VC but it felt overall like a more "look what ww were able to achieve on the psp".Saying that, it's still a GTA and the attention to detail is incredible. VRock in this being based on one random caller in VC, lots of foreshadowing and links to the main game. It's very fanservicey in the derails. Phil Collins (Phil Collins) the best character in the game. Dickhead Lance carries rhe game for just how much one kid can fuck up.Thanks for reading my blog post.
>Game has a romance subplot that doesn't involve the MCWhat's the point of this?Either make it a romance with the protagonist or have zero romance at all.
>>729714931iirc Some of the Harvest Moon games will have certain bachelorettes who get married to NPCs after a few years if you don't make a move on them. those farm girls aren't gonna wait to start a family. iirc there's even one game where you can cuck an NPC right at the altar and everyone in town just laughs about it.

We're back to knock another shitty Twitter thread off the board, it's time to play "4.6 Billion Year Story: The Theory of Evolution".Previous thread: >>729623224>What is this game?The original JRPG predecessor of E.V.O. Search For Eden for the SNES, released on the PC-98, developed by Almanic and published by the JRPG gods themselves Enix. The game follows the perspective of a mortal creature chosen by Gaia, (You), to shepherd Earth through the entirety of its evolutionary history over the course of billions of years. You must save innocent wildlife from danger and clear obstacles to the world's continued evolution, while at the same time thwarting the machinations of a sadistic alien ojou-sama from outer space.>can I play it too?Just look up the ROM on MyAbandonware, then download the patch (along with the translated manual full of lore) here: https://46okumen.com/projects/e-v-o-the-theory-of-evolution/We're not wasting any time tonight, it's time for another training arc. We're locked out of a part of the map because the lizard men there are too strong. In order to hunt monsters that are one step higher than us on the evo ladder, we need to take advantage of our new stat cap and raise everything to max.

I can't tell if zelda's voice actress in botw is bad or its just her accent.
>>729709925Nips and their obsession with Europeans are cringe as fuck British Zelda is so garbage
>>729709925Show me 1 instance where someone complains about the Japanese language track for a game and ill show you 1 million complaints about the english dub. When will you people learn.
>>729709925She's faking a British accent in a world without Britain and NO ONE ELSE SPEAKS THAT WAY! Her father speaks normally. Every other character in the game speaks with no accent. Sometimes all it takes is a single bad voice actor to ruin a game's audio track. In BotW/TotK, it was Zelda. In Xenoblade it was everyone in all three games. In Ghost of Yotei it was the main character Atsu.
>>729715156She not even being British just makes this worseDo the Japanese have English Zelda hard coded

>>7297127072's level design was reduced to hallways where 1 had more mazelike design for a lot of worlds and better platforming elements. the combat in 2 is definitely smoother with a lot of QOL features to make it feel better but the combat in 1 is more thoughtful and deliberate. while 2 is a great game, it is a shame that they went down the path of making the series more smooth and streamlined as it eventually became the downfall of the series.
Why is this the correct opinion?
>>729714647It's kept alive by a small group of dedicated autists like all good RTS games
>>729714794when you have four races and a dozen tavern heroes, it does work like that actually
>>729714951Then A-tier still means the best, and S-tier means best of the best and so good that other races would pick them over their own heroes if given the chance
>>729714847Its not good
>>729715119Have you actually played WC3?
There are people out there who willingly choose to play Overwatch 2. Let that sink in.

>>729714152>Sell me on the One XIt runs a lot of games at good framerates compared to pc if you get it cheap. Also has programs like retroarch so you can play almost anything if you invest the time. Just scour ebay for cheap ones since they're over $600 new for some gay ass chink reason.
>>729714391I had about 3 or 4 saved on ebay for under $170, but could never pull the trigger. I really like the fidelity for 1080p gamers because I don't care about anything above that, but Microsoft is so tiresome and PC always seems like a more sustainable option. Then again, One X has a disk drive and has backwards compatibility. I will probably get one now that there will be a ton used after Christmas.

>>729710954"The Hole of Druaga" mode alone is worth it.
>>729690159
>>729711928It's an open-world game, so there aren't many lock-in fights outside of bosses. There are a bunch of side quests that expand upon the lore and are mostly more interesting than the fetch-quest ones in the original NieR / NieR Replicant. Some of the boss fights are pretty cool.
Simon and Ritcher move pretty well in Smash Bros, why can't Konami just rip off this template and put it into a new 2.5D Castlevania game?
>>729715109That would require Cucknami to care about Castlevania, or any of their games, to start with.
cause pachinko machines make more money than a new side-scrolling castlevania would

Daily reminder somewhere these puppets exist in some weird dusty closet and are growing weird mold spots on them and the sheen on their eyes is oxidizing off giving them a glazed, lost and forlorn expression.

The dust has settled, /v/. Is cyperbunk 2077 a good game now or not?
>>729714207Never was and never will be.
>>729714207Did it get another big update? Why is it back in the top sales charts and getting threads?
>>729714207I played it when I had an nvidia card, but alas now I have AMD and it doesn't work on AMD cards. I should actually get a refund come to think of it.
>>729714207For what it is, it's good.Is it a good RPG? No, in fact it's a pretty lame RPG. Is it a pretty fun shooter with some role playing and emergent elements in a dystopian future setting? Yes.
>>729714207I enjoyed my time with it, but I really wish exploring Night City felt more rewarding. All the Ripperdocs sell the same things, food vendors don’t really matter, and the guns you find are usually better than anything you can buy
