Young Masters, let's talk about martial arts/wuxia/xianxia video games. If you are not listening to this Senior, I will be sure to cripple you for life.
>>723632140Loved the dynasty warrior games. Check out the dragon quest versions if you like musou games.
What am I in for?
>>723632332ludokino
it was mid
>>723632663The anime? It was ok, I liked it. The novel is good though.
Choose, cultivator man.
>>723632796Which one is the fox demon?asking for the young master.
>>723632701they made an anime?
>>723632701>let me use a grade 0 artifact that can control minds to steal a grade 1 box of sandonly sheeps without skeptical thinking would like it
did ergen manage to finish reverend immortal or did he just drop it when irl heavenly court got involved?it's really annoying reading about a billion chink names doing seemingly unrelated things only to realize it's backstory to explain yet another devious fang yuan scheme but i can't get enough of the scheming, i really hope RI has some kind of ending
>>723632796>decide to play toi as social build>pick neutral good traits>suck up to everyone>stay in main town whenever time refresh happens to see if npcs 2-3 tiers above your area comes to visit and befriend them>every new months is DING DING DING DING DING 99 logs of what happened to your friend>get enemies>next month inclues 15 logs of your friend attacked your enemykek
>>723632796Spider wife>>>>Book wife>Ice wife>Dragon wife>Doll wife
>>723632993It makes sense but for now it's a mystery.
>>723633151No it's doomed.
>>723632332A genuinely good game, pretty grindy though.
>>723632796I'm too busy cultivating
I have an unusual fixation on playing the ill/dying genius, is there something that can scratch that itch?
>>723634883Dual Cultivation is twice as strong anon.
>geography measured in billions and trillions of miles >heaven-defying cheat tools >tournament arcs >mystic realm arcs >more tournament arcs >auction arcs >outcast/amnesiac with famous father/mother/clan >x-colored, yin-yang, five-elements tribulation/divine lightning at regular intervals >impossibly beautiful female companion/weapon/spirit/rival/wife >blood spraying out of mouth >tumbling backwards x distance, like a kite with its string cut >intense sense of deadly crisis >jade-like skin/twin peaks/peerless beauty in every city/world/realm, each somehow more peerless than the last >x girl's primordial yin is a perfect cultivation furnace for young master y >x incense sticks of time >I, your father/grandfather am not someone you can afford to offend >trash believes he can jump cultivation levels to fight esteemed young master >I will give you this face today >frog in a well, could not recognize mt. tai, eyes but cannot see >you mildly inconvenienced me, so I will cripple your cultivation, kill your entire family and dig out your ancestor's graves >MC, you are going too far >don't know whether to laugh or cry >time it takes a spark to fly off a piece of flint >takes some time to describe, but happened in an instant >x flicking his sleeve >this cultivation ground in x world/realm is y times better than the one I just left, twice the results with half the effort >raping cute girls to cure their incurable illnesses
>>723635174so fvarking kino
His game when?
>>723635385My hero...
>>723635059But then you are forced to interact with women.
>>723634883>he's not Dual Cultivating to dump excessive yang stats into yin energy
Where Winds Meet release doko?
>>723636434just look it up lol
>>723635385the Head Realm arc was so fucking good bro.
>>723632140Fuck man i need to continue ToI but i fuckin hate the grind at the Stairway to Heaven.
>>723638272Get the "Grindless" mod from the workshop bro.
>>723632140Is Wiere Winds Meet cultivationkino or does it have fragile foundations? Should I add it to my harem of jade beauties or cripple it and toss it aside like an old dog.
Is the RI guy's other works worth reading?
>>723638542No, his spark is gone.
>>723638418It's not out bro
>>723638542>are bugs capable of producing soul after reeducation camp
>>723632892None, foxshit is stuck with the artifact spirit
>superheroes but chinks and psychos
>>723632140I can only barely scratch the itch for Murim games through AI storytelling a la Novelai. It takes some time to set up the basic world info, but its usually worth it. I'm considering building a Murim world on Fables as well since the AI service is built for combat encounters, maps and spells and shit, but setting that up is gonna take too much time imo.
>>723632140>>723638542>>723635174Yo what are some good wuxia novels to read? I like them and the concepts but holy fuck so many of them are slop but i've heard reading the slop is half the fun so idk
>>723638679Hmph, your meridians are all out of balance, junior. The game has been out in the motherland for a while. Us seniors are already on the tenth astral plane whilst you chew on air.
>>723639550Coiling Dragon
>>723639975CD isn't wuxia at all anon.
Can you point one (1) single good wuxia game?
>>723640070jackie chan
>mc is weak and talentless>he finds a mysterious artifact that contains the spirit of an ancient from a much higher realm>ancient teaches him cultivation techniques and fixes his meridians>mc still has to join a sect to learn cultivation because reasons>sect: we are the biggest sect within 3 million km>ancient: the techniques in this realm suck ass, mine are 6 million times better but I can't teach you because reasons>mc quickly becomes stronger than everyone in the sect>leaves to cultivate on his own>joins another sect 2 minutes later>a hot girl appears at one point and never appears again
>>723640070This one>>723632332
>>723640378I hate the talking wikipedia on the MC's shoulder trope, it ruins any sort of excitement I have for the MC figuring shit out when there's a barrage of information vomited out whenever anything happens
It broke me.
>>723632939They did then they skipped 75 chapters within a few episodes lol
>>723640587The best character in all xianxia is that guy.
>>723633151Er Gen wrote Renegade Immortal. Er Gen's most popular work is I Shall Seal The Heaven.Reverand Insanity is a completely different story from someone else.
>>723640603It's so fun learning to metagame in that game to become powerful, but the open map discovery with sect interaction is lack luster. I hope they managed to secure funding for the next one because last time I checked they were busy porting ACS to mobile to get a cash injection.
>>723640728>psychotic gay rapist parrot>best side character in all xianxiaHow did he do it?I was starting Nine Sols last week. The second boss is a feathered flying bitch and all I could imagine was what Lord Fifth would have done to her lol
>>723640728he's sidelined for the majority of the story by the author though
>>723640865>Nine SolsI WILL KILL YOU GWEILO T*IWANESE DOG
>>723632140How do I regain the Mandate of Heaven?
>>723640865>>best side character in all xianxiaThat's Kim Young-hoon thougheverbeit.
The worst thing Li Fan did is leave the Bagua Jade to wander around in a world corrupted by Ink Death when he promised her he would take her on as a disciple. Come on, I get that you're pissed off that 99% of people in the Xuanhuang world are pre generated people taken from an algorithm, but she's from the immortal realm! Be nice, without her you couldn't have gotten to where you are.
bring out all your jade beautiesi'm not going to read any manuscripts like you nerds, i'm just here to cultivate my explosive yang energy
>>723641515Do you know who else said they were just here to cultivate their explosive yang energy and thus weren't interested in wisdom and intelligence? Giant Sun.
>>723641515
>>723641591>Rank 9 Gu Immortal>not interested in wisdom and intelligenceOK bro
>>723641720if she's the only one you've got, then fuck this thread, i'm out
>>723641793There were only two Wisdom path Venerables, Star Constellation and Reckless Savage.
>>723641515God I wish she'd rape me to death.
>>723641515>>723641935
>>723638542Infinite Bloodcore is good, but because of how the author's known to go back and change things in previous chapters the translators refuse to translate anything until each book is finished.
>>723641515Cultivate it good, junior. this ancestor will take it along with your butt
>>723640889To be fair, he spent most of his time tard-wrangling Lord Third. Yeah it sucks how many plot points were dropped in ISSTH, like Lord Fifth's group formation cultivation
>>723638542This thread is about Xianxia, Wuxia is a different thing. It's like Dragon Ball Z(Xianxia) vs Star Wars (Wuxia).
Who /FSJ/ here
>>723643190>let's talk about martial arts/wuxia/xianxia >This thread is about Xianxiaretard>Star Wars (Wuxia)zoomer missed the part where luke went to cultivate the force (qi) under an eccentric master on Dagobah
>>723639550Sky Pride is currently very good. It does have the shoulder encyclopedia trope though, as mild as it is.
>>723632663Was good desuVery pretty too
>>723641935out fucking played
>>723643960>Very prettyyea>Was goodnah. answered here >>723632993
>>723643551Wuxia is a distinct genre from Xianxia. Xianxia translates literally to "Immortal Hero(es)", a fundamental aspect is the quest to attain immortality. Wuxia does not have that. Star Wars would be Wuxia.
>>723640663kek what the fuck? why even bother? and people call it GOOD?
>>723644137The quill is good and at all but not as vital as becoming a demigodWhy wouldn’t he use his overpowered artifact to bully those definitively too weak to fight back if there’s a payoff? Trying to kill arianna or any other evernight angel would be retarded
>>723644235It's well animated but it's really just a highlight reel of action scenes that, for the most part, are exaggerated a lot from how they were described in the book.
>>723644208>what are force spirits>what is force resurrectionKEK retard
>>723644494Not canonNot canon
>>723644641i accept your concession. so easy LMAO
>>723644641I'm not even a SWfag but wasn't Obi-Wan dying to Vader and becoming one with the Force (Dao) a significant plot point in Empire or Return? The whole "death of the master" trope.Star Wars fags are so fucking retarded.
Anyone played this? Just getting into it and it's fun as fuck.
>>723644903Yes. His death was important, because returning to the cycle of Samsara is the goal. That's what makes Star Wars Wuxia.Actual physical immortality is the goal in Xianxia, and nobody except maybe some of the EU Dark Side characters cares about that. There's further connotations to it. Physical immortality is something that is ethically wrong. Without entering the cycle of death and rebirth, one doesn't cleanse negative karma, and under traditional thought, negative karma will accumulate and create a monster. Sekiro is a great example of what I mean here.Xianxia either glosses over that or actively leans into it, because it's a more amoral genre compared to Wuxia which has traditionally heroic protagonists. In essence you could call Heroic Fantasy the western equivalent of Wuxia, and Dark Fantasy the equivalent of Xianxia.
>>723645162It's really fun and going full haremfag is a nice goal to set for yourself. The pretty constant updates keep the game suprisingly fresh.
>>723645267>paragraphs of cope but will never be able to list a single wuxia with resurrection and spiritskek
Star wars is simply a shitty example to use for western wuxia. Just drop it anon.
>>723640603It's alright but after 200 days it becomes a chore. You're waiting on materials, you're training same laws to get fighters, progression slows down and game isn't as fun anymore because you're juggling more cultivatorsAre there other cultivation games that solve these issues?
>>723641720
Need jade beauties with huge tracts of land
>>723632796>ChooseI do not comprehend
>>723645162It was really fun, but replaying, even with all the bonuses is very fucking tiring.
>>723639550Anything by Jin Yong or Gu Long.
Every single one of these games gives an option to go hidden weapons and it ALWAYS sucks and is super underdeveloped and I hate it. I just want to throw bladed coins at people, why do I have to join threadbare ultra evil mega cult to get better coin tossing techniques, shit sucks.
>>723650786I remember it being good in Scroll of Taiwu.
>>723650965Man I'm looking forward to the full english release of that game. It looks really cool.
>>723639550I like Cradle, but as far as I know it's the only English written Wuxia novel with any measure of success.
>>723651591Sky Pride is definitely on track to compare. The first audiobook is coming out in January. Cant say how popular it'll be but the dude is making 20k a month on patreon writing it.
>>723651591Cradle isn't even good to rec a newcomer.
>>723652059I really liked the start of Sky Pride but things have been getting a bit too dull recently, doesn't help that Tian has gotten kinda OP. Too much talking, not enough cultivating, any time there's a fight it's a complete rout. Hopefully things will get tense again whenever the fuck he gets around to tiering up.
>>723652439Why not? The power system is simple, the characters are fun and the plot is good.
>>723651250That might never happen, just play now.
>>723652540Because its unlike most -xia novels due to it being written by a Westerner, which is why we got retarded shit like Lindon being an overly-apologetic faggot with no development for 12 books.
>>723652492Yeah he's bit a bit overpowered ever since he left the desert. Im like 15 chapters behind though so maybe something interesting happens.
Have the young masters been looking at the steam next fest? Any promising titles?
>>723652635>Lindon being an overly-apologetic faggot"Oh sorry about this, I am going to murderfuck you now. My apologies".>with no development for 12 booksAgree about that. He did develop but not like other characters for sure.
>>723632663reading coi now, I really like Lumian as a character. he's very fun to observe
>>723652635Lindon acting like your average 2000s jap protag is by far the worst part about an already medicore series.
>>723641129So based.
Play Aura Clash.https://www.auraclash.com/merchants/playusername: patronpassword: keiko
>>723654690No
>>723654690What does this patron version of the game add?
>>723655042like 200k words more
I picked up Hero's adventure, its not totally a bad idea to start in nightmare mode is it?
>>723655096Dang, it's long as fuck then? I might try it out and see if it's any good.
>>723632796Playing this one with the dual cultivation/pregnancy mod was peak young master experience. Cherry on the cake was that the game has no children so the "babies" were born fully grown up and picking fights with random cultivators.
>>723632796Sell me on this game anons
>>723655149850k words currently
>>723655242Xianxia sandbox, very free and open.
>>723654690Is this the one with some dude named Jack? It kind of breaks my immersion.
>>723655453His mom is a notEuropean from the moon.
>>723654690This is neither wuxia nor xianxia.
>>723632663>get told that LotM is amazing>read the book>pacing, one of the most important parts of storytelling, is fucked beyond measure>literally 200 chapters of nothing fucking happeningI'm guessing if I pick up reverand insanity it's going to be a similar situation
>>723655673The first volume is pretty slow but you've already finished the slog. In Reverend Insanity only the North Continent arc is a slog.
>>723652439>>723652540>>723652635>>723653090>>723653730people who like cradle are dimwits. The author regurgitates xianxia tropes and can't come up with a half decent plot or characters
>>723655673idk but apparently the lotm donghua cuts a bunch of shit kek >>723640663
>>723652635Lindon also destroys every enemy he comes across the second time they meet if not the first, he looks scary as fuck with his Goldsign, and the only reason he managed to survive in his home village is because he played a suck up to all the people in his village hoping to get scraps to cobble together some sort of cultivation plan.Him becoming temporarily arrogant halfway through might've been interesting character development, but they kind of did that with Dross instead.The real reason to criticize the story is the ending, especially the bit where Lindon is stuck in Cradle while everyone else has left. We see the other main characters visiting other realms that are entirely different genres. Then Lindon gets out and despite the series making it seem like Monarchs are like the first step in the greater power level of the universe, he already seems to be stronger than the people inspecting him. The time skip chapter at the end about his child was also really corny, but I'm willing to let that one go.
>>723654690Exactly what I'm looking for. Thx, senior.
>>723655673i don't know, I like the pacing and the set ups the author does
>>723656086I wasn't really looking to persuade that guy or argue with anyone else about how poor Cradle was. Its problems manifested way before the ending. Personally, while I enjoyed most of the first half, it drastically went down the shitter after Underlord -- coincidentally around the time that Wight talked on his blog about having to shit out a new book every 6 months for maximum profits and relevancy. Two books for a tournament not even centered with your main character winning or outright destroying/interrupting the tourney, nothing new? I never felt anything reading a book after Underlord that I did before. tl;dr Lindon is just a book-ending boss fight to Simon from House of Blades who would quickly shit down his throat with no hesitation
>>723654690This is really fun unironically.
>>723655673RI has pretty quick pacing for the first like 800 chapters
>I'm in a tough spot, what should I do?>Oh, I know!>I'll use one of the core pillars of the entire cosmology, that I reincarnated with, to invalidate several of the powers present in this world.>After that I think I'll go look directly at a God and suffer no lasting consequences.>Free high sequence pre-acting? Don't mind if I do.>BTW can I get a free hit on a monster while swinging around a rope by my leg? Thanks.>Oh, and don't forget some underlings who will implicitly trust me and hand me information I otherwise would never be able to get.>No, that's not good enough, I also need a demigod endebted to me.
>>723654690Didn't this guy have to pause development to re-create it in another engine after his own discord was 'unmoderated' or some shit?
>>723657998Yeah, his game got banned from the most popular text adventure game site because his discord made edgy jokes. In order to host his game on that site he had to develop it in a certain language, and thus after his ban he had to port the entire thing to Twine. The moral of the story is don't have a discord.
>>723632332following a step-by-step guide or you're going to miss out on a bunch of stuff, companions and likely get shit on
>>723632140Wtf
>>723657921LotM is most fun if you speedread it/don't know shit about the setting yet. I genuinely regret rereading it.
Im strong so i can behave like a douche and be right
>>723658135>because his discord made edgy jokes.I mean, I wouldn't expect some retard on a game site to be so petty that he would nuke your hard work from existence just because of a discord making edgy jokes.In hindsight though it makes sense, like 90% of those games tend to have non-binary or fag options shoe-horned in. So your point is valid, don't have a discord. You already have the /vrpg/ thread why couldn't you keep discussion on there?
>>723658454this is just like in real life btw
was aura clash the one where the dev removed lesbos
Why does china have such an intense aversion towards tan/brown girls? Is it because of their India hateboner?
>>723657921why are you randomly mad at LotM? i already said its mid
>>723658420I like the concept of potions and the paths, and the world isn't awful, but man I don't like the actual story. It has this way of turning the Eldritch and mysterious mundane and disappointing.
>>723658532Chinese/most asian culture has a hardcore fixiation of having one 'beauty' type and if you derail from that you're automatically seen as ugly. Its why 'jade beauty' is a thing, since they basically mean 'pure white beauty'.TLDR: The chinese have enforced cultural shit-taste. BROWN GIRLS ARE LOVE
>>723658454>waaa i need my skydaddy dualist morality chivalricslop
>>723658583Because this is a xianxia thread and I want to express my feelings on LOTM.
>>723632140im hyped aboutwhere winds meet
>>723658532>>723658712light skin is preferred in every culture since peasants who work under the sun are undesirable
>>723658490Dude has good style, protagonist can only be a man/woman with no non-buynary options, and only straight relationships with white girls (or lizard men if female), and it became popular, of course they were gonna "course-correct" it
>>723639550Retvrn to traditionEastern Heretic best character
>>723658852This anon is correct, go to any brown country and look at their ads and television shows, the people will be several shades lighter than the plebesIn Japan they have umbrellas and sleeve gloves to protect from the sun
>>723658490I say he got banned for his discord making edgy jokes, but it's 100% because he didn't add gay romances. Whenever someone would complain about the game you could tell that no matter how much they tried to mask their intentions they always ended up focusing on that. I don't even think they would have cared about the discord if not for that. He also apparently had a script to prevent a male mc from gaining romance points with other male characters and a similar one for a female mc, which didn't help, but frankly the romance scenes in Aura Clash are very much written with gender in mind so I can't fault him for the scripts. You don't want your male barbarian to suddenly be picked up by his bro and rushed to his bed while he blushes and stutters.
>>723658532White skin is beautiful and divine>>723658790It's a glorified gacha/mmo, if it was singleplayer I'd agree
I wish there was a Mount and Blade wuxia mod, that would be peak
>>723659094for what i know you can fully play as single playerand ignore the gacha skins
>>723655437There are tons of those, I wish for something like>>723654690 but in 3d, more story focused while still having some gameplay elements
>>723659225Have you tried Matchless Kung Fu? I hear it's like one of those warband games.
>>723659071Seems like a pretty cancerous community then if that was the real ban reason. Some people are just uncomfortable writing about certain topics (I mean, would you REALLY want a gay romance written by a straight man? C'mon). Like I feel like these niggas need to have some self-awareness about how creepy that is.
>>723659468The game was doomed from the start after the troons found out there's no faggot shit in the game. They just needed a "proper" reason to ban him and to get rid of him.
>>723659468If they were Self Aware the sight of two pages of pronouns would have them reconsider their views somewhat. I'm not using hyperbole by the way, a few games have pages worth of pronouns.
>>723651591It's sad, because the appeal is clearly there.Most of the big litrpgs are basically gutted xianxia stories, and it's not as if there's much competition in fantasy these days.
>>723658660Yeah, all the edlritch gods being basically just normal people was lame as hell.CoI kinda tried to fix that with the great old ones but they ended up just seeming like underdevloped non-characters rather than something beyond comprehension.
>>723658660>>723659879sounds like greek mythology with artifact deus ex machina writing. glad i didn't get memed into reading that. anime looks good at least
should i watch season 3 of gay Chinese flute anime ?
>>723661656If you liked the first 2 sure
>>723659468Oh yeah, the community around these games is a bit insane; it is basically Tumblr craziness but a lot of anons create a lot of good content you can find a dedicated thread on /vrpg/. Still, there are some worth trying. For me personally- Trilogy Werewolves have risen. 1-3 it has a bit of smut if you into that but generally it is very well written.-The.Golden.Rose- Slow but i loved the atmosphere and really liked the characters.-The infinity trilogy- The Evertree Saga-The Soul Stone War this one is a bit on the nose if you are allergic to modern fantasy writing, but i did enjoy it.
Would you risk offending someone for this jade skinned beauty?
>>723665337>>723665568googled the name and she literally has jack ma face syndrome
>>723665915>not using your ancient cauldron to concoct beautifying pills.I can fix her
>>723666157no cockdron can fix bone structure
>>723666391you have eyes but can't see mount tai...
>>723632663The GB version is better
>>723668646>female protag>werewolvesnahhh i'm good but i'm happy for you
>>723669087The werewolves are not fucked they are killed in this novel though.Also GB means gender bender if perhaps you didn't know this. So it's not really a female protagonist.
Anyone got any recommendations for top tier cultivation novels? Hell I’d even take Korean fantasy novels like surviving as a barbarian or regressor instruction manual.
>>723670170I liked this
>>723645162How viable is solo in this game? I don't really like having to control and manage an entire party
>>723670170Is regressor the Korean term for cultivator?
>>723670753"Regressor" just means you were OP and then dropped to when you weren't, via time reversal or some other bullshit
>>723632140I'm just waiting for this>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2724650/The_Bustling_World/Typically I would consider such things overambitious, but after playing Tale of Immortal I think the chinese might have the capacity to do it.
>>723632796the book lady groomed me into marrying her
>>723632140Been playing Hero's Adventure the last week or so, translation's fucked but the game itself is pretty solid.
