What the fuck happened to the old thread?
Recent games I've tried:>Exark A city builder skinned single player backpack battles-like. it's okay. Decent variety and allegedly more content to be added past 1.0. Needs an indicator if something can't be rotated. Could use daily/weekly/custom runs. >LootboundNot really that much of a backpack battles-like. For one it's turn based. You get a tiny selection of 2 items after every fight with no reroll. Most noncombat nodes involve random chance so your momentum is very swingy where even if you played safe every time and chose the lowest tier reward you can still get nothing. The game gives you a limited number of nudges but the nudges themselves are random. You also only control your main dude. your posse is ai controlled. So really making it turn based adds almost nothing to the game.

>>578483143Sorry, I've been looking into playing some modded GTAIV. Though, last night, I took a trip back to 1997. Abandonware. It's called Enemy Nations and it feels like Transportation Tycoon mixed with Command & Conquer. The little intro video proclaims that humans mastered interstellar flight on September 26th, 2020. We find that there's a good amount of alien races out there. So many races that the last uninhabited planet had been found over 1000 years prior. Except we're stubborn and found one after a while. A bunch of the other spacefaring races blockade us and war breaks out. After some time a compromise is announced. Each race will send in their own colony ship with basic supplies and it's an arms race to win the planet. You've been chosen lead the expedition for Earth and that's where the training grounds help you get your wits about you. Kinda. I went looking for the manual because I couldn't figure out how to rotate buildings. Ctrl-RMB. Nice little thing I wish I'd known about all these years.
>>578486982I just won an A2 Silent run myself with a million shivs, pic related and a bunch of the broken artifacts that make you plus after spamming attacks.
>>578493740The music is pretty neato as well. The thing is open source now and runs on modern hardware "out of the box" as it were. 12 races, all having "over 10" racial mods according to the manual. What those mods are is not listed in the manual. All you get is a description of the race and you're meant to infer from there. Humans are the baseline though.
Which of these three should I buy and play?
not indie at all but i got star wars outlaws dirt cheapgameplay is fine and impressive open worldbut all the characters are so goddamn ugly and everyone are black for some reason
>>578496640I liked Animal Well quite a bit. I hear good things about Outer Wilds' DLC but couldn't get into the base game; fucking hated flying the ship.
>>578496356The manual is absolute kino as well. There's a lot of info in the book that isnt' covered anywhere in game from what I've seen so far.

>>578488101>Abandoned.>Dead.delete linkclean up detritus>>578488509Fully agree.>>578496951I say this as an /egg/man, how can you hate Newtonian space flight physics?
>>578493926Shivs seems pretty consistent since you can make them work either with shiv specific buffs or broader storm cards like the gold axe. Idk if it was obvious from my pic but that deck went off using Rush and Nightmare to make tons of copies to hopefuflly freecast with Bullet Time. Nightmare used on a free Bullet Time card makes the copies free on the next turn, so Nightmare + Bullet Time seem really good together because of these different possible timings. I would have liked to get the deck thinner but I got kind of screwed by the shop/fire locations this run and had to keep going for healing.
>>578498224I don't find moving a vehicle mechanically rewarding pretty much regardless of control scheme, but for that in particular it felt like a deliberately shitty flash game. I know for some people it's fun and fluid but for me it felt like unmitigated ass.
>>578499012How is it different from the character in a 3rd person or 1st person or 2d game?You push forward, it goes forward.You hold jump, it goes up.You stop holding jump, it goes down....It even has crutches like autopilot and the landing cam which automatically orient you toward the ground.

>>578498116Because you need to get a few missions in before you can build additional trucks and you only start with two. It starts struggling when you've got several things to move around and there's not enough hands.
>>578500352Trucks?Wait, do you have... LOGISTICS????
>>578499335The momentum's different. I didn't like it, I don't know what to tell you.
>>578500412Yes. There are a few "global" resources that aren't handled, gas, power, people and food. Otherwise, the trucks move it. Iron and coal from their respective mines to the smeltery for steel. Steel to new buildings and it can't be built until the stuff is there. Coal to the powerplant. Oil to the refinery. Better to keep things close so you don't have miles and miles to move something, but sometimes it can't be helped. Gas is important, as without it you can't build roads AND your vehicles get a hefty movement penalty. Roads improve speed of all units, and they'll path to roads to make them faster if possible. The rocket you land with counts as a starter warehouse/apartment/office/generator and in a pinch will rebuild anything super critical if you lose your last, say, crane and thus can't build.

I'd post about a game I play but I don't think anybody cares about lvl 1 runs of a kingdom hearts spin off.
>>578519826I already beat it.It wasn't as horrible as I remember 'Earthworm Jim is worse) but still, it's awful.>>578519831No clue what it is, don't care. I got me lil bunnies.
>>578519696I never got the hate about labyrinth zone. It's just a zone like any other. It's ugly and there's water everywhere. Nothing special.
>>578520380The Origin port fuck up some of the bubble sources, so if you dilly dally, you can drown. And that drowning noise is horribly stressful.
>>578520620>origin portSorry. I only played it on original hardware and emulation.
I always wonder how people play the late game. For happiness maxxxing, replacing all workers with bots seems like the winning move, and there are some fun stuff around bots, like their own needs.But them, if beavers are not working and the player only cared for happiness, they could just reduce the beaver population to a small number and the whole society built around sustaining beavers its now kinda pointless. All the buffs from happiness also useless if they are not working. It becomes kinda of a dystopia.
>>578520784I tried it on several hardwares and emulators.Never beat it fair until now.
>>578520910You likely rush too fast. Unless you know exactly the layout, this zone is designed for you to wait at each bubble. Which is stupid but it's what sonic 1 is like. It's not unique to that zone.

The thing that will always make me hate games like Slay the Spire is it's possible to get 5 fucking runs in a row where you don't get a single block card, then are forced to fight a boss that hits for half your hp every other turn.Unwinnable runs shouldn't be a thing. It means your game is half-assed and missing features.
>kill 8 aids zeds just to reach this point>get 2 attacks landed on me>get the aids>see screamer near where I want to scout>don't see any aids zed around>have 22lr rifle>shoot screamer to see if any other aid zeds would pop up>shoot>quietly run away>6 aid zeds come running from whatever holes I couldn't see in the darkDamn, these plague heart thingies in the middle of the village are hard. Is going to take me ages to chip at them until I can kill the heart, without ringing the dinner bell for a kilometre around.
>>578559983If variance isn't able to swing so low that it can crater a run, why have it be a roguelike at all? Mitigating the chance of those failstates is part of the system mastery, but if it reduces to pure execution then it undermines the entire mechanical structure.

Watched a review on Bioshock and I was surprised at just how many dormant memories came floating back up. I played through it once when I was ~12, almost 15 fucking years ago, but everything was so vivid in my mind. Including the goddamn circus of values jingle.If only I could remember my fucking banking info with such clarity.
>>578561798I believe the opposite. If it's impossible to outskill every failstate and be forced to lose due to RNG alone, THAT undermines the structure and turns the game into simple gambling.Any retard can beat A10 in STS2 by just playing 1000 games until they get lucky and coast to victory. The best players should be able to win those same 1000 games.

>>578572903Is it really that hard to write something in the span of 12 months? Is it because it's supposed to be related to that DIGITAL EXORCIST vn?
Are there Songs of Syx threads anywhere?This game is insane. Had it come out during the DF hype phase early last decade, absolutely everyone would be talking about it. But now it seems to have largely flown under the radar?A colony/city builder game akin to DF/RW or what have you... except you don't get FPS death at hundreds of colonists, it runs buttery smooth into tens of thousands. This is a unique technical achievement and the pathfinding doesn't have any weird compromises to make the immense scale possible, just good optimization. Also battles with massive armies, plus somewhat undercooked grand strategy elements outside the core city building loop.
>>578579991hahaha you said songs of sex.>25 Buckarinoesi can't pay that...
>>578580376Piracy doesn't have this problem. The dev also has a great attitude towards it. He might earn your money with that attitude alone.Plus, the demo is also free and it's the full game. Just a few major updates behind.
>>578580794i can't pay that because i can't afford to spending 25 arbitrary currency on a game i won't play when i already have tons of games i won't play because i don't have time or motivation. being an adult sucks.
Ever notice how movie tie-in games basically don't exist anymore?
>>578585643Because games are the bigger business now. Instead you get tie-in movies for popular game franchises
>>578579991it used to have a thread on /vst/ up all the time, you know, like a general, but last time I checked, there wasn't one. I guess anons grew tired of the game. It probably doesn't help that the dev made the game more autistic and more of a slog with each update.The game is good at the first glance, but I always grow bored somewhere around 1k pop. I never went much longer past that. I think the music is the best part.
>>578586549It's pleasantly autistic but how it is a slog now compared to how it was? Just tighter happiness/loyalty per population curve? Were any current major mechanics missing from older versions?I don't have baggage from previous versions twisting my judgement and expectations, so that just sounds like a skill issue from my POV.Also how can you stop a thousand? Just build a cozy little hamlet in one corner of the map and lose interest? That's not enough people to do anything cool, I like to keep hundreds of oddjobbers for getting shit done.I just recently started playing and already have multiple different cities past a several thousand. So many things I want to try, so little time. This thing is like crack. Even my first city with no title bonuses went past 10k in less than 30 years, and that's after I completely stopped taking migrants in at 8k with no childcare services to speak of. Damn cretonians just keep breeding faster than you can react to. Now I'm trying to play slower and artificially limit my growth by controlling when and how many migrants I let in, mostly to get more opportunities to fight lower tier raiders.
>>578585643Development cycles for games are too long to try and align years in advance. Back when you could shit out a PS2 game in 10 months it was a lot easier, now we're a month away from there being teenagers born after GTAV came out.
>>578588586I really didn't play that much of this game, even on older versions, but there was a time where you didn't need clay for science and only had one type of science point and things like that. You didn't need to worry about warehouse ranges and pick orders. Raising armies was too troublesome, but mercs were cheaper, so players could just hire them to experience combat, then the dev nerfed the shit out of it by making them too expensive, because it was not the intended way on his vision.>Also how can you stop a thousand? I always planned to go far, but I simply get bored of it. By the time I get to 1k, I had stable food production, science production, toilets for everyone, janitors, guards, some medicine, all the basics set up and excess of goods of whatever the races I have on my city are skilled at, that I use for trade. Also, enough fighters to keep raiders away, but I end up never using them for real fighting. By that point, I feel like there isn’t many new and fun things that I can do, just more of the same, and some logistics of the city, like managing warehouses and food stalls, are becoming a pain in the ass. Its not enough population sustain war and go full conqueror and the city building gets stale.
Putrid dogshit run that only worked cuz of low Ascension and broken potions lmao. It was a classic episode of trying to brute force a deck archetype as hard as possible and the game refusing to comply. I spent 1000+ gold and visited like 3 shops to no avail.
>>578593206Also, I think the dev may have changed the breeding mechanics. Back when I played, even building nurseries, it took so damm long to get new citizens I just gave up and started taking immigrants.

>>578598816dota 2
>>578595193Because creating a Spore that actually lives up to its potential would be a massive undertaking that the vast majority of indie studios simply don't have the manpower (or funding) to achieve, at least without a decade+ of devtime.And making a slimmed-down arcadey version that's actually feasible to make, well, why would anyone play that instead of the Spore we got now?
>>578601241Why would anyone ever play a new FPS when OG Doom is still a better game, a timeless work of art and has been ported to pretty much every turing-complete platform imaginable?For the novel experience.
>>578601670Pick any idle and you've got an abstracted Spore clone.

>>578605368no
>>578605182I didn't really enjoy it, the camera was really stodgy and the parkour had no momentum to it. There were cool setpieces but also if you're going to rip off Revengeance you need your combat to have any sense of weight and impact whatsoever.
These two challenges are kicking my ass.

>>578595193>i really wonder why no indie studio has tried making a spore clone yetThe only good part of spore was the cell stage and plenty of games rip that off.
>>578585643>Ever notice how movie tie-in games basically don't exist anymore?They do. It's just the games usually aren't billed as adaptations of movies and also all the shovelware for kids gets dumped on mobile.

Is Darkest Dungeon the type of game where you get to mid-game and from that point onwards it's more about rolling the dice over and over for 10 to 20 hours, allowing the game a chance to meme the player with unlucky RNG? I disliked that about Xcom 2 and Iratus, even though I understand the purpose of it.
>>578635163nodarkest dungeon is like that right from the startalso i don't recall Xcom 2 being PITA
>>578632612eh
>>578635163I don't remember Iratus being that bad rng wise, just retarded unbalanced, with some units completely mogging others and/or being mandatory in teams comps.
>>578635163Darkest dungeon gets less rng dependent the further you go because you get stronger abilities and better equipment.
>>578607392I thought Suicide King was much easier. Take your time and be careful with anything that increases your range.
>>578482962Nigo...
>>578635628>>578638484>>578637235It's not about the RNG in itself, it's more about not having stuff to unlock and your characters and their equipment being mostly set in stone, the good or best decisions in combat become too quick and easy to figure out, so it's just a slog to keep playing the game. During the second half of the game, roughly speaking, things only get "exciting" when the game throws some bullshit at the player or if the player makes a significant mistake, but that's not really exciting, just annoying or infuriating. To summarize, the first half is the player trying to overcome the game and the second half is the game trying to overcome the player, but the only way it can achieve that is through critical hits, evasion rolls, nasty enemy team compositions and things of the same nature and you have to go through 10 to 20 hours of that when it could've been trimmed by half. That is what I want to know about Darkest Dungeon. Two other games that are somewhat similar which doesn't overstay its welcome are Aria Chronicles and Our Adventurer Guild.>>578637235Yeah Iratus balance really sucks, which is a shame as I was looking forward to playing with the fear damage units but I realized most units, be it fear damage or HP damage, are quite bad. I beat the game with 2 of the DLC units, the horseman creature, which seemed kinda pay-to-win.
yeah, i bet
ye olde anime ears
>>578645902No, the first half is an rng fest. Due to a bunch of hidden mechanics, the deck is mathematically stacked against you at the start. The flat bonuses everyone receives disproportionately benefit the enemies in the early game and the player in the late game.
>>578644421Oh shit, wait*Niko...

I keep buying new games.
>>578664878Same, my backlog of purchased games is around 1000.
>>578657985Apparently the dev is a scammer and an art thief.
Does it count as shilling if I also link a free, low-budget but 80% of the content version of the real product?https://william-rous.itch.io/type-helphttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3641000/The_Incident_at_Galley_House/It's like a paranormal murder detective story with a pretty cool format, found the original a couple days ago and then later found the steam version, you can sort of treat the itch.io version as a demo, although the differences are rather evident and the steam version has a bit more extra content.Dunno I just really liked it.
Baba Is You is my favorite game of all time, finally dethroning Majora's Mask after all these dman years, and I like this mod for it even more:Reminder that the Nimi's Garden mod exists for Baba Is You and you should 1000% play it if you adored Baba. Same Level/Blossom/Bonus count as basegame, ie 231/12/3.You should play it even if it is the one and only video game mod you ever play in your -life-.1.1:1 Quality to the basegame1.1:1 DifficultyIt's seriously as if Hempuli himself made Baba Is You 2. The thought of my fellow Baba chads overlooking this diamond pains me. Play it.Disco Divertimento Duo is my favorite level -ever- between both games. I hit hitherto unforseen dopamine levels playing that beaut.I amused myself as I played by cataloging every new Word I encountered here: https://rentry.co/ykiuz3vkMad spoilers but you can survive looking if you just glance at it.
>>578668840I'd care if I reached world 2 in Baba Is You.I am a brainlet.
>>578665131Playing anything lately? Me:>Sephiria - fun so far, tougher than I was expecting. Seems to have a good bit of variety and plenty to unlock. The parry mechanic on the daggers feels off to me somehow. >Webbed - bought it since I like spiders. Only played around an hour so far. Right now my mission is to help assemble a robotic ant. Web mechanics are fun.>Return of the Obra Dinn - good thinking style game, need to use deduction to solve the mystery. I am liking it.>Astlibra - hard to quantify this one. Combat almost reminds me of Castlevania. Music is nice, story seems to be pretty typical and deals with time travel and whatnot. Can definitely tell it was made with love.>Succubus Successor - I can't remember why I bought this, might've been recommended ITT. Somebody said it was a good game in its own right, even without the nudity. Never played a porn game (closest was smut like Leisure Suit Larry a hundred years ago) but I assumed there'd be plenty of T&A. God damn, this game is explicit. Within the first five minutes you're seeing everything, full on wham bam with the sloppy sounds to go with it. Only played maybe an hour. I doubt I'll finish it since the gameplay isn't very good.>Kotama and Academy Citadel - got recommended in some MV thread or another. Gameplay was all right. Had a parry mechanic and your usual MV abilities. Story was typical anime shitfest and after maybe an hour I just started hitting X through all of it because I didn't care. Ended up dropping it as it crashed three times in the same spot and I realized I didn't care enough about finishing the game to bother finding a solution (if one even existed).
>>578668840I've seen this post several times and I'm buying the fucking thing right now so I can come back and tell you how I blame you for how stupid I am when I can't beat it. I hope you're happy.
>>578568691Choco recently gave us this.They're all at Gamescom right now, so no update anytime soon.
>>578671538:Dhttps://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/baba%20temperment/
>>578670838sinking city 2 and mortal shell 2. Played through Firmament and started Neyyah. started a few other random games.
>>578657985Ever since all those spiked games on steam, I'm a lot more cautious about free games now.
I wish I was a filthy rich billionaire so I could donate stupid amounts of money to all my favorite /indie/ studios to get their games out of early access and maybe also have some of them put me on the board as Chief Idea Guy.So instead of destroying the planet and society, I'd just make the video games landscape slightly worse by pumping out some niche games catering to my highly specific tastes that everyone else would find boring.
>>578673448Most of those are too much of fags to do something useful with it. They'd either refuse to expand the team (which can be kinda reasonable as to not compromise the vision) or scope creep big time. Limitations breeds creativity, the ideal play would just give a nice substantial money injection when they're somewhat close to the finish line but not too much the director or team gets comfortable and the game becomes yet another MGS 5, 2XKO or whatever else examples that I don't care enough to remember.
>>578674160Realistically yes, I was also thinking about how some games made by a single person won't be sped up significantly by any degree just by throwing more money at the problem.Alternatively just rock up at some AAA studio, put a sack of twice the budget for their latest big release on the table and say then can have that plus keep the earnings if I get to be idea guy and "fix" their shitty games. Would love to do that with Rockstar, actually.but it's just wishful thinking anyways
Before the latests sale on GOG ends: What to remove or add?
>>578675867Loop Hero isn't that good.I can suggest replacing it by X Morph Defense
>Seed of calamity on saleUhhh...>Holovillage on saleUHHHH....I hate when my wishlist is tempting me.
>Super Mario Sunshine RandomizerOh ffs. I need to play that now, don't I? Another game for the backlog!
>>578645902>I was looking forward to playing with the fear damage units but I realized most units,Stress teams were fun to use, I liked to use 3 mummies + bride (the female archer) for the stress team, mummies had aoe stress attacks and could heal while attacking later, it mogged everything. Bride was there mostly for the interrupt skill. Unfortunately, there are too many enemies that are immune to stress attacks, like statues or whatever, so I felt like using another HP damage team for these battles was mandatory. This is just one of the issues I had with the game.I never had the dlc. For the vanilla hp damage teams, headhunter was strong with % chance of instakilling units. I remember really trying to use some units like vampires and half vampires, only to get shit results. I ended up using headhunter + bride + something else for tanking and support (I don't even remember).
>>578671538I hope this doesn't mean you intend to install Baba mod Nimi and immediately play Nimi. Don't lol.
>>578695275I always play games raw the first time. I'll give it a shot if I ever finish Return of the Obra Dinn (another game I'm too dumb for).

>>578657985I still have to find a Pokemon-inspired Creature Collector game that doesn't suck assGod, why can't Pokemon Coral come out already
>>578703650>2026>still enjoying pokemonBrain damage. If you like collecting autism, play Dragon Warrior Monsters + the other spin offs. If you like the idea of monster collecting with actually deep gameplay and team building, play Siralim Ultimate.
>>578703650The issue is that pokemon is kind of ass mechanically for singleplayer 1v1 fights, and most clones copy the mechanics too closely and end up fighting the uphill battle on trying to match Pokemon on design and aesthetics when they just don't have the budget to do so. That's not to say that pokemon games aren't underfunded pieces of crap, which they are, but more kids have bought a pikachu plush today than have bought an Agumon plush this year.
>>578670838>WebbedMan I did the ant colony first and it was so fun swinging around. Then you go outside and it's all precision platforming, dropped it there.
>>578658424These contracts are fucked desu, some rooms have more than 2 which is a death sentence, and I'm requiring food every 2 encounter after resting to full hp. I think I'm refunding and just get quasimorph
>>578711404It's not that hard of a game, get good pussy. Early game melee is just kinda boring due to how limited its tactics are.
>>578711510Im doing 2h axes and all perks and 1 perk for that shout in warfare and when Im against that vampire with a 2 handed warhammer from that lost relic quest I'm losing just due higher chance of injuries spiraling when their buddy is close and get confusion debuff

>>578730937Everyone has the bracer, but I have no way to find her again.It's weird how the lore notes I find don't really talk about the reviving. Maybe the people who wrote them hadn't died yet, so they didn't know?
>>578731257Well, at least Conan doesn't have the bracer.
Finally found a game with spanking.BIGGUS DICKUS
>>578726801Monkey island, the entire series.
>>578730794Ah. You're playing ragnarok online?
>>578731257It's probably just a gameplay thing. Plenty of games where the player just revives without any explanation.
>I wonder what the gratuitous space battles dev is up to these days>oh my god GSB3 this year>it's somehow worse than the second game
>>578736506Conan Exiles>>578740342Obviously it's a gameplay thing first, but it's also mentioned in the story. Everyone who dies in the Exiled Lands revives, waking up at the place where they last slept, and no one knows why. It's just not mentioned quite as consistently as you'd expect with something like that.
>>578747610There's a dude on the Steam forums of the first, that made a workaround to be able to play the Campaign Mode of GSB1 now that there's no servers.
>>578748171>Everyone who dies in the Exiled Lands revivesNot everyone. Sometimes people don't respawn.
bump before I fly off on holiday tomorrow
>>578748171Always nice when people try to weave silly gameplay mechanics into the lore, but they could put more effort into it.
>>578755703Have a nice holiday
>>578757951I dunno, makes me think of Borderlands making the respawn stations canon but then trying to have characters actually die with no affordance for why it'd be any different.

HOLY SHIT TURN ON GAMESCON CAROL IS ON STAGE!!!
Used 4 molotovs, waited for their DoT to do their thing, and then used 2 shotgun blasts to kill the heart.Not wonderful not terrible.
>>578769769Was the strip tease REALLY necessary?
I found a new dancer III, though she doesn't have huge knockers. The other one does, but she's only dancer I.Hope this one doesn't die as fast. I'd really like to level one up.
>>578757951I think Dark Souls is a good example of a game doing it well.
>>578755703Where you going, pal?
>>578776469Give her a bow and tell her to stay away?
>>578777028Japan, I'm not a turboweeb but still would like to see the country some day. And my brother is currently studying there, so it's the perfect opportunity to go

Like 3 pipe bombs and 3 molotovs to destroy this heart. I came overprepared. Still have 2 stacks of molotovs, a shotgun and a stack of shells at the car.

>>578782841For pain relief? Sorry to hear, pal. Permanent?
What """""new""""", as in, in the last 4-5 years, zombie games there are that are worth trying?I would like something more State of Decay/Dead State. But a quick search doesn't really give many relevant stuff, besides.There's Urban Strife, but according to reviews it has a forced timer and then the game ends. Which is kinda shitty.
>>578482962>slay the spire 2 mobile launcher has DRM so you can't use a pirate copyniggers
>>578787508Dead state had a forced timer too, it was just 70-sometrhing days in and not a month.

This 1vs1 against the juggernaut has become a rollslop fight. I swear I stick him with over 30 light bolts, only 13 could be recoverable. I dodged and hit until I had to use 2 rolls of bandages.What an amount of cancer this was to clean the 3500 influence base.
Are you fucking kidding me?I had to kill a heart, kite away a juggernaut and 1v1 another one with just a crossbow. And now I need to recruit 4 other smucks?Peg me and call me spiderfag if this isn't a shitty surprise.

>My wife>The Rolling Stones>Club soda>/indie/There is literally nothing else that matters.
>roguelike players replaying the same boring content until the RNG gifts them a broken combo that lets them win for onceIt's a mental illness.
>>578826201there are "diabetics" who live completely without symptoms or medicine RIGHT NOW
>>578831381They are insulino-resistant diabetic. I do not generate insulin at all. Even with the strictest diet, I will know agony if I go without insulin. You're talking about type 2 who develop a resistance to insuline.
>>578829084That doesn't explain why a good player can win 99% of the time regardless of RNG. Perhaps you just have a skill issue?
>>578779106She still managed to pull aggro and die when I stumbled into a cannibal camp that was larger than I thought.
>>578838348Fuck sake, dude. Can you tell her to wait away while you attack crocodiles and spiders? Also stop attacking humans when you're levelling up.And don't say cannibal, it's offensive, they're Darfaris.
>>578834851Most players aren't that good. The ones that are don't have 99% win rates. Slay the Spire is what inspired my rant and the average A20 win rate for top players is like 60%, not counting that one broken Watcher build with a 90% win rate.
>>578838458These particular Darfaris were Yog-worshiping cannibal savages.And yeah, I can tell her to wait, but I need to do it BEFORE I'm engaged in combat. Trying to run away with a follower is near impossible. That was the problem with the last one too, there was a spiderboss just chilling in the desert and by the time I saw the skulls it was too late to retreat.So really it's a skill issue. I need to explore more cautiously.
>>578838459Slay the spire is a tactical card game, not a roguelike. Consult the chart please.
>>578838767>So really it's a skill issue. I need to explore more cautiously.I was about to say that, but I couldn't find any nice way to do so, so I'm glad you realize it yourself.

>>578839013I don't care what it's called. If a game's built on RNG it's trash for deranged gambling addicts.
>>578840038You can just say that you only play puzzle and movie games anon. Nothing wrong with puzzle games anyway.

>>578856224So it seems. I'm very tempted to get it because it seem to have spanking options, but I'm very, very amused that it seem to have a bad ending where your slave just shanks you midcoitus.
found a game with less than 1k playersall it does is compiling shaders, not very fun
>>578858524>Payday 2 lose a ton of players because of added lootboxes>They flee towards KF2>KF2 rush as fast as they can do add lootboxes tooI'm still impressed by how bad their decision making is. KF kinda sucks anyway. The devs literally buff the monsters to sell OP dlc weapons.
>>578858524>all it does is compiling shaders, not very funit's a sucky genre
>>578860054>unlock fps>suddenly shaders compile so fast it's done before the splash screens end
>>578860510i've capped my frames to 75can that really halt shader compilation?
>Post reverse engineered formulas for a game on reddit>Top post is literally "Go touch grass" from a user with over half a million karma>Get permanently banned from the subreddit for "disinformation or hate speech"Oops I did a racism by explaining that undead take 50% more damage from holy and fire damage?? Or maybe it was when I explained that due to poor coding, only the last effect applies which makes every holy/dark+elemental effects completely useless.I guess that's what I get for trying to share information with the community.
>>578861656The last time I played it was the case, I always had my fps locked to 120fps which made it tolerable but unlocked always made it instant.It's awful, but the game is well worth playing
>>578832924insulin resistance is bs, it's mitochondrial sugar-saturation
>>578861843redditors aren't human>>578860054>>578861936if your pixely retro game has more than 5 shaders total then you are a nigger developer
>>578861656It's a vibe coded game using unreal 5. The morons who made it made their own custom loading screen system and because they're fucking stupid they tied it to fps. Loading is longer if you set your frame rate low.
>>578861656Dipshits put in a buffer flush after each shader compilation so they can update the "4 / 20,000" number on the screen for each one.
>>578862835oh yeah, did I say 20,000?I don't remember what it was when I pirated this broken shit, but it was probably closer to 200,000, plus an infinite loading loop mining dogecoin or something.Either way, the "modern" pipeline has all of the shader design done in that shitty visual programming graph AND then do dynamic compilation - so that instead of a one or two megashaders that can be sent to the GPU as a single file upload, the process produces tens of thousands of tiny pieces of shit that each has to be uploaded and compiled one-by-one. You guys should already know how fucking slow file transfers are at many files vs one big file in your OS's file manager.
>>578839013>berlin schizo
>>578829084FTL and Slay the Spire have been the worst things to happen to /indie/ games.Remember soulful games with handcrafted levels? Now its a 40-60 min game, except that the player is supposed to repeat it with rng shit and permadeth.
>>578866264You could simply NOT play those games
>>578866893That is what I do, but is still valid criticism.
>>578867023Not when you're acting like it has ruined indie games. That would be like saying Dark Souls is the worst thing that happened to video games because there are many others games like it and you don't like the genre.
>>578867290dark souls did ruin action games thoughbeit
>>578867290It did affect the indie scene a lot, the market, the media and industry. Roguelike games don't exist in a bubble.
>>578863527Nah. Sts would be a roguelike according the Berlin definition. Nobody who cares about what is and isn't roguelike or the definition would agree with it, but it would qualify.
>>578846106I was waiting for 1.0 because I've never understood playing a metroidvania in early access. The game still looks really clunky and something about it still doesn't pass my sniff test. I also see several reviews saying the music is crap and/or AI which if you're trying to be the same style as Ori is something you need to nail.
>>578867917STS would fail the grid-based check.
>>578867759One could argue that many indie games, regardless of genres, wouldn't exist without foundational games like the aforementioned. You're just choosing to hyperfocus on one genre and making it the root cause of everything you dislike.SMB, IWBTG, Minecraft, Cave Story, Dusk, Limbo, Yume Nikki, Rimworld, Amnesia and so on, there are so many games in other genres that had a HUGE impact on the indie scene.
>>578869273I know, but it doesn't actually disqualify it according to the bd. It quite literally says the none of the usual checks matter.
>>578869301Its most likely that these devs would be making different types of games, or these games would exist in different forms, without the roguelike mechanics. And they are the root cause of everything I dislike.
I've been thinking about getting an unlimited pass for my local movie theater to go binge watch movies and eat there once a week.Any games you guys can recommend me to pass time during the wait between movies (15 to 25 minutes)?
>>578875621The movies are not that good.
>>578875621if you can't zone out for 15 minutes then you have an attention span problemme personally I would never watch more than one movie in a day, you need time to process that shit and reflect on it
>>578876728Do you say the same thing about story heavy games? When the wait is over 20 minutes like 5 to 6 times in a day, that adds up. Besides, not all movies are equal. Watching toy story 5 or rewatching nightmare on elm street is not the same level of mental process than watching the lobster or trainspotting.>>578876396You can say the same thing about a lot of video games.
>>578879728I'm not the one buying a subscription to a lootbox of shovelware.
>>578879728all movies require reflectionmindless consooming is how media brainwashing actually worksstory heavy games need a lot more reflection than movies, even. I think heavy rain put me out of action for several weeks to mull it over.
>>578879968The difference is that I can choose the day I go there to avoid "shovelware". Besides, I live in a country with a lot of social programs, I'm 19. I pay my taxes and part of those taxes go into financing a cultural program that gives every young adults 150 euros to spend on whatever they want to enrich their personal culture. I'm not into books, all the games I play are non-physical so what's left? Letting that money I indirectly paid for go to waste when I turn 21? Movie it is.>>578881392Fair point. I would tend to agree with that, even if I disagree with heavy rain in particular. Still, I guess I could simply go there once or twice a week. That's still way cheaper than buying a single ticket.
>>578875621being unemployed is soooo easy

Graveyard Keeper 2 by the end of next month.And I still haven't finished the last quest of the portal one.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4358690/Graveyard_Keeper_2/
>>578883757portal one?
>>578883757I wonder what they will do with the story. The ending was open but the lore and implications change the entire thing. In the trailer they show the walking dead. Does that mean the contract was broken and the ship of the dead is no more? I mean considering we spent pretty much the entire game breaking the tenets which were already weakened by the fact there hasn't been a graveyard keeper in 3 decades. And what happened to your wife? You clearly still play as the fifth keeper so I hope this gets addressed.
>>578882779You seem to know a lot about french social programs...
>>578886870Are you also retarded like the other french african?

This time the dancer didn't die, she just disappeared. I left her here, told her to stop following me, and went to check out the nearby cave. When I came back, she was gone.I've had an NPC mysteriously teleport before, and I really hope that's what's happened, and she didn't just die offscreen.>>578891027My version of the game has no live service crap, because the microtransaction shop doesn't work on the pirated copy.

>>578904379hey how old are donald trump, elon musk, and that other faggot... Mike Pence?
>>578904857Trump is at 80. Sadly I don't need to look his age up. Elon is 55 and Mike Pence is only 67 despite looking the oldest. I'll give you a bonus. Vance is 42.
>>578905412Who's Vance?
>>578905593The protag of Vice City Stories.
>>578905593This guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aVxnkd80CEJD Vance is Trump's current vice president. Pence became Trump's enemy after January 6.
>>578905896Wait... is he related to Lance Vance from Vice City? He had a brother called Quentin Vance if I remember right.
>>578906016They are brother. Quentin was a fake name Lance was using.
>>578906174Pet the capys.>>578906206Oh, okay. If he's a GTA character, I'm going to assume he's a horrible person and he ends up dying?
>>578906550He dies at the start of Vice City. He's the drug dealer with the helicopter.
>>578906771Welp. No wonder devs don't want to drag the kid from Bully in GTA, the characters in these games always die prematurely.
>>578906849In this case, he got killed in the intro of vice city which is the second gta in the 3d universe and you play as him a few years earlier in gta vice city stories which is the last game in the 3d universe. So we already knew how he ended up.
>>578907262Yeah, I heard GTA V has Trevor killing a very popular character from the side games. I'm not surprised Vance dies right away.
>>578906550>Pet the capys.I'm upgrading the base and I tried if I could move the capys to another pen.I can't, so I sadly have to cull them all.
>>578907760NOOOOOOOOOO
>>578907921Such is life in the zone.
>>578869301Rimworld was a mistake. Dwarf Fortress should've remained the most popular in its genre.
>>578908776nooooooo
>>578907417He kills the protagonist of one of the dlc when you unlock him as a playable character. GTA 5 is a bit weird. Another major character from GTA 4 went from the guy who robbed the bank of liberty to trying and failing to rob a bodega.
>>578909837To be fair a bank is insured and a bodega owner will use fucking Saw traps to get your ass
>>578909153Dwarf fortress' UI is not accessible enough and its gameplay isn't simplified enough for it to not have been overtaken by rimworld.
Alright, time to play KH1. I'll get to level 100 so dusk leveling obviously. Proud mode.Anyone here wants to pick my bonus and discard? Sword, Shield, Rod. Pick 1, discard 1.

>>578919783Well KH1 doesn't let you mash Y to avoid all damage like in KH2, right?
>>578920178No but you can mash fire to fucking delete everyone from further away than they can hit you. Your MP being your mana pool, your magic stat, and giving you exponentially more casts of basic magic like fire means that going all-in on it is heavily rewarded compared to later games. Also it's mashing Triangle you heathen.
>>578920350Sorry, all my controllers since I ascended to PC had been based on the Xbox, so it's Y for me.It's annoying when I try to switch to my 3DS and X and Y are reversed there;

Red Pearls of Borneo is good. Wished the epilogue was more interactive. Little bit too much "girl power". Also, I will always remember Brits as villains. One of the endings was cringe. 9/10No Results Found was good. The dark "secret" was a little cliche. The climax was a little contrived. Wish it was a little longer. Accuse and truth every time. 9/10Hmmm, both were free. 10/10 for both, then.

Ai slop is not a sudden shift. It's a shift that has been going on for decades, with mods, dlcs and live services. The people wanted more content no matter the quality. Communists say it's the end of capitalism. I disagree. It's what the people want. The masses aren't unhappy about this outcome, they just don't care. It's just an evolution of consumerism. It's disgusting, it's awful and yet the people targeted pay more and more. They aren't upset, they're gladly giving money to ai slop games. Look at the most profitable gacha games of 2026. A ton of them are using generative ai to replace artist, voice actors, writers and translators.You will read my chat gpt slop and you will be happy. I'm joking obviously.

Couple of chapters into the new Plague Tale. For a cinematic action-adventure, it gets to the point a lot faster than other games; nice pacing, almost no walk-and-talk stuff yet. The combat isn't amazing by any means, but it's fast enough to be decently fun, especially when multiple enemies attack simultaneously. Great soundtrack as always too. Hope the rest of level design is varied, as I thought the second Plague Tale was less creative than the first one

>>579020240It's a game, sir.
I quite enjoyed this game that I got on sale for $4.50. People (rightfully) point out that the gameplay is like Inscryption, and perhaps it's not even as deep as Inscryption's, but it isn't purely a card game. You can tell it wanted to be a fusion with an adventure game (there was even a Monkey Island reference which I rolled my eyes at). Some complained that this watered down the card playing experience, but there is actually a good deal of card playing regardless of the wandering around inbetween. I think it is somewhat lacking in the humor department, but it certainly has understandable characters, none of which annoyed me. I will say that I can sense that the writers are somewhat leftist, but the game never feels preachy.They recently added a "VS Mode" where you can battle freely with a deck free to customize and modify at will outside of the main game. Only problem with this is that it unlocks after you beat the game once, but it also doesn't seem to properly unlock all of the cards you have obtained during the first playthrough, prompting you to do another one (I didn't realize this and bruteforced my way to completing VS Mode with those limitations). But the good news is that this game has four endings (perhaps even more, that's all I found myself) and I found them somewhat entertaining.This game had a surprising amount of soul. I actually wouldn't mind a sequel or something that fleshes out the card game part to be a bit deeper.
>>579024048I just realized I did not once mention the name of the game at all. Placid Plastic Deck. I also wish I could play with the opponents decks a bit, even if it's a bit unbalanced.
>Village in the Shade>Japanese only horror farming sim>Nippon IchiI'm literally following Nippon Ichi everywhere. Why have I not heard of it until Josh made a video about it? I mean, it's some weird Nippon Ichi game. I already know it's gonna be crop. But still...

Just saw MGS4 and Peace Walker released on steam apparently Peace Walker port is pants, Any Idea how MGS collection part 1 is? I'm thinking of maybe getting the full collection in the fall sale.
Do you ever wonder what happened to the devs of old games you enjoyed? So many of them never came back to make another game, or anything good.Loop Hero devs never made another game despite of the success, did they? Someone on steam is theorycrafting that this could be because of Ukraine war and devs being russian.Space pirates and zombies devs made a rimjob rip-off and some tower defense.Lucas pope (Obra dinn and Papers Please), last time I heard, was making games for some hipster nostalgiabait plataform.There is game called Strike Suit Zero, it was one first games I got on steam, a decade ago. Devs never made anything again. Many such cases in my library.Project Moon (Lobotomy Corporation), opened a sandwich shop at some point and later became a gacha company.One of the main guys behind Jets'n Guns 1 & 2 studio died years ago, but seems like the studio made some strategy game in 2025.

That was Edgecase. They made a space ship moba(picrelated) called Fractured Space, but it flopped. I played it daily but people seems to hate mobas that aren't western medieval fantasy slop.Then they got bought by Wargaming(World of Tank and World of Warships company). They were supposed to make a World of Spaceship one, but was canned. And the devs let go and dispersed to the winds.

Recently played a cute little game that's free on Steam called Blue Sign. It's the first release by some Korean indie dev. It's somewhat of a Papers, Please clone but for marine insurance and with anime girls for shipowners, as opposed to fat old Greeks as in real life. Had a decent three hour long playthrough and found myself wishing for more content. I'll replay it again for the alternate endings and will be waiting for further updates.
>>579064548>making cute anime girls sufferingThat's my kind of game.

>>579064548>f2p What is the catch?
>>579073891its 3hrs long.
>>579055987Mobas was such a shit genre to ge in. Back in the early 00s, because Lol and Dota, everyone and their mother was trying to make a new moba. You had a new moba announced every single day. Its was the same thing that happened once with mmos and later with battle royale. I don't know why people think their new game will be an exception, that will not end up like every single other title in a oversatured niche.
>>579075325>with mmos and later with battle royale.Heroshooters seems dead now, this is the age of the extraction shooter or short low quality friendslop.
>>579075617Hero shooters weren't such a big fad as mobas and battle royale. It was a shorter spurt, I think.I am out of the loop now. Are extraction shooters really that big?
>>579076445>Are extraction shooters really that big?Hard to say, some like Tarkov are popular but I don't think they ever were THAT huge as they're mostly an offshoot of much more popular genres like battle royale and online survival shooters.Even though the name was probably coined based on the influence of The Division on that style of game, I think they take much more from games such as DayZ, but I could be wrong, I haven't played an actual extraction shooter since The Division and that was a minuscule part of a much larger game and most players didn't even engage with that system.
>>578658424Ok I replayed it again, but what the fuck are these difficulty spikes, 3 skull human contracts are fucking lethal as fuck if I can't burst them down fast I die. Or are 2h axes just useless

>>579037984I know I shouldn't buy them out of solidarity with kojimbo, but emulating has a ton of it's own problems. It's often not quite perfect, if the fps fluctuates even a little bit, you get audio issues, audio in general can be a bit jank at times, sometimes you have issues with the textures etc. and most annoyingly sometimes you only notice these issues 10 hours in. At least with the steam versions, you get a "plug and play" experience, ya know?
>>579118212I get it. I still find it distasteful that Konami took funds away from Kojima to fund their gacha and pachinko divisions and when people started getting pissed, they re-released the same crap.Especially since they demoted him before he resigned, so they essentially fired him in everything but in name.
Now this is a true Roman fortress, with way too many war machines.

>>578711404>These contracts are fucked desuthey are. the game's about a country in shambles due to war. it makes sense to have the odds against you.what I don't like is how the so called "merc" you're playing as either lied the fuck out to get the job or the enemies in the game are supersoldiers. the stats micromanagement - I mean babysitting - heavily implies that your character is some glass-boned chucklefuck, not even a real merc.the game is amazing, though it updates every once in a blue moon. mid game is where it shines, early game you just get thrown into a clown car brigand den to get some 300 gold coins scrap to deal with the entire local paramilitary organization.

I keep spending $15 on 2-3 dogshit games on sale instead of just buying one good thing.
>>579171471I often enjoy $5 games. Maybe you are just buying the wrong ones.
>>579171471If you don't have a huge library already, the <5€ bin on Steam is ridiculously overstacked with great games.
>>579171632I do as well, or at least find something interestingly bad about them. I've just scoured pretty deep within my niches so typically if there's something I haven't picked up it's usually for a good reason that vindicates my previous hesitation when I do go "eh it's $3, how bad can this zelda clone with 7 reviews really be". But if I don't cratedive I don't find stuff like Thread or Astor: Blade of the Monolith so I keep picking shit up.
>>579171758I've genuinely lost all context for whether this is a lot
>>579171815almost double the amount i own, so i guess so?
>>579171892A good chunk of that is a decade of humble monthly and buying bundles pretty often, but it also doesn't include the 300 games in my Steam Family library. I justify it to myself as it being one of my primary hobby expenditures but it's still probably approaching $10k lifetime.

>have about 200 games>top 20 are all 3 digits hours playedMy problem is the opposite, I have too much discipline so I'm often waiting for sales and specific moods to line up before I pull the trigger. Pirating then buying on sale is a good workaround, but I am a dumb cuck who likes steam achievement as a proof that I've played the game, as pointless as that is.
>>579171815Guess I'm just a stupid baby then
>>579171815I do a lot of milking the same game for more playtime and replaying games. The latter two are split into two lists for reasons I don't understand, but I just add whatever I'm recently playing or intend to play in the next year or so to faves. I rarely buy "one and done" games, I want max value.

How do I go about getting into the Trails series? Is it just this and Trails in the Sky 2nd chapter?
>>579232819YeahI don't think it's worth the ~200 hours
>>579232819I was filtered by the combat of the first one that made me read the wiki for the plot.I'm so so SO glad that I did that.
>>579232819Actually Trails in the Sky is masterpiece if you play the entire Kiseki series from the start and speak fluent Japanese let me explain...>Error: Comment too long (682282/2000).... And that's why it's Estelle Bright is such a great character and it has nothing to do with my crush on Akemi's voice. Anyway that's the first trails, now for second chapter...Recycling my joke harder than Falcom is recycling their old games.
>>579219367Oh, the next scenario was even more endings. I didn't even find get the 5 endings with the cat girl.
>>579237073>was>find get
>found a patch for my old pirate version of X4, from 5.00 to 5.10 hotfix2>map runs at half fps>massive slowdown when targeting a ship at close range>google around>they only fixed this shit by 6.2 or somethingjesus christ how do you fuck up that massively?
Apparently kids on tiktok are trying to cancel an rpg maker game for "protecting groomers" so I looked into it to be nosey and this is genuinely the stupidest shit I've ever seen in my lifehttps://www.tiktok.com/@genetaceae/photo/7678031872441552142Gen Z is beyond repair
>>579245905dev fucked up responding to this lunatic in the first place
>>579245905I'm not looking at that slop. I don't want to see what retards have to say about anything.
>>579245905that's messed u->female protagonistXe deserves it.
>>579251041Gets a pass because she's cute Most of the best rpg maker games have girl protagonists anyway
>>579245905i cant believe i flipped through this nonsense but the moment i read "im diagnosed with bpd" everything made sense
>>579251041why would i want to play an rpgmaker game about a boy going around and getting raped
>>579253284H-haha, yes, who would want that...
>>579245905Hey maybe this game has something going for it
>>579245905>and no, I'm not going to make a full document, if you cannot see how toxic and manipulative he was just from this, then you will not be convinced if I give you more and expose sensitive parts of myself. Oh okay, so "dude trust me".

>>579258167Yeah? Well I'm the thing that goes to take a DUMP in the night.
>>579262540I just shit a giant blood clot. Getting tired of it.

>developer posts a trailer and says feedback is welcome>deletes feedback comments that are too critical
>>579278997To be fair, "your shit sucks and I'm not sure why you're subjecting us to this assparade" isn't exactly constructive. Even if something's dogshit you've gotta give them reasons why and something to build from if you want it to be construed as feedback rather than jeering.
>>579134060people will tell you this is a bad relationshiprealistically, I want the love and affection and to suck on some mad tiddy until it's too much and I can just skip town, bonus points if I sleep at her place so she doesn't know where I live
>>579279268Well it roughly amounted to "this is worse than the first game, this new game is built on a fundamental mistake, the second game is still broken, and you should have revisited series X instead of series Y for a new game". There wasn't profanity, it just wasn't friendly.
>>579279268"constructive" criticism is such a weird ass-backwards american psyopyou don't have to solve the problem for them just to tell someone there is a problem
>>579281118All it does is make me insecure, because I can easily tell there's a problem and what the problem is, but then these people go "okay how to do I fix it", and I'm not an artist or a coder, I have no idea, then they go "oh so you're not helping, you're just stirring shit", and they call me the shit stirrer and it makes me sad so I use DDoSS against their forum and report their discord server for hosting underage porn.
>>579281118It's not about solving the problem, it's about articulating the problem. "The movement is crap" doesn't give the dev anything to work on. "You lose all momentum if you hit an angle between 350 and 10 degrees on the control stick and the jump arc is misleadingly short relative to the height spacing of the platforms" is actual feedback. Sometimes all you've got is that the gamefeel isn't good and if that's the case then that's the case, but I figure anyone that's enough of a freak to be posting in this general has a vocabulary and breadth of genre exposure to at least describe what they're playing.
>>579282417ME NO UNDERSTANDYOU USE SIMPLE ENGLISH (american) OR ME KICK YOU FOR BEING ALIEN
>>579281118what's ass backward is that in this day and age everyone thinks they must have an opinion on everything even when all it boils down to is basically just "it's shit"if you're not going to bother explaining, just leave a thumbs down and don't be a little bitchcriticism should be constructive by default
>>579245905uuuuh i ain't got tiktok so i can't see thisdo YOU guys have tiktok accounts or something?
>>579282772I tried to watch it but it gave me cancer.
>>579282772i opened it on a private tab on firefox (on my desktop) and had no issues
>>579282704literal kindergarten tier thinking mate
>>579283375Yeah that's fairly new you couldn't do it beforeanyway it looks like grooming/abuse accusations with discord messages from what I could seewho cares
>>579282704you need a third party addon to even see thumbs down on youtube today
>>579283478I'm simply not entitled enough to think my lack of an actual opinion matters to someone asking for feedback
>>579285865you are extremely entitled to think everyone owes you something extra when giving you criticism, actually.what you deserve is a slap upside the head.
>>579287624Then don't take issues with a dev asking for feedback filtering out the shit answers that don't help development.
>>579288232filtering out anything you don't want to hear is just solipsism and is how you end up making shit.
>>579288525*filters you*What now, smart mouth?
>>579288525Time to tell every dev that their game is too hard and complex so they all casualize them.
Gaming?
>>579291441maybe ,,,
>>579291441supiki
>>578482962Baba...
>>579292023Finally got around to play her game. I thought it's going to be just a generic psychological horror with a cute girl.I was pleasantly surprised when I got the true ending and it turned out that there isn't actually anything evil going in the background. She's just in denial about her friends' death and ends up accidentally killing you in the normal ending while trying to help you and her friends.
>>579301198a...
>>579253284ye, why would anyone want that.
>>579292023
I haven't played anything touhou in over 10 years and picked this game on a whim after gaben recommended it to me and damn if it didn't hit me right back in the nostalgia.It's basically a retelling of the games starting with 6 with pretty good writing as far as touhou goes. The gameplay is tactical strategy with a lot of curveballs being thrown your way, and it's pretty much a Super robot Wars reskin (which I have never played so for everyone else like me I'd say it plays kind of like Advance Wars? Or maybe Fire Emblem which I also haven't played)After 20 hours I'm finally done with the first arc of the game (out of 4) and I have no reason to believe the next ones will be horter considering every review as 150+ hours played.Game is called Fantasy Maiden Wars, and it's been my life this past week.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3575980/Fantasy_Maiden_Wars__DREAM_OF_THE_STRAY_DREAMER/
>>579312690looks fun. Where we go, another game to the backlog of infinite works."I am the boner in my pants. Vydia is my body, and indies is my blood.I have wishlisted over a thousand titles.Unknown to boredom, Nor known to Life. Have withstood early access to play many games. Yet, those hands will never play everything. So, as I play, Unlimited Indie Works!"

>>579317471Keke feet wrote this post.
I lack motivation to do anything. The only way I can convince me to do anything is if I write it down in my diary and only because I don't want to disappoint my own diary. I have games I want to play and instead I just sit there looking at the wall the entire day. I don't post, I don't read, I don't watch or listen to anything I just stare and time passes.
>>579319272Happens to me quite often, 30+ years of games has made me jaded and it feels like I have played everything, or at least had every possible kind of experience.It turns out I've simply lost my ability to have fun with the things I liked, or so I thought, so I reinstalled some old games with mods, or bought some stuff in a similar genre that I believed would be boring because I had already played something like this, and guess what, I'm having fun again.Don't always chase novelty, and don't try to persuade yourself that a game wouldn't be fun because you've already played something similar.Don't think twice, just get the damn game and start playing immediately.
>>579319272You just have to find THE one thing that gets you out of this stateFor me, it's a steady diet of found footage movies
>Play Alan Wake >Mediocre gameplay but really cool story>Want to jump to 2 but being completionist, i want to play the Control DLC>Launch my Ultimate Edition>no DLC mission available despite being in the post-game>check steam page>DLCs are supposed to be included in the ultimate edition>check the forums>They renamed the game "Ultimate Edition" and delisted the DLCs but they didn't upgrade the standard edition>I have to rebuy the game if i want the DLCsYoutube it is
>>579319272came across this jump king like game on reddit of all places. it's quite short but there are also communal made levels that are posted regularly and they are quite addictive. https://www.reddit.com/r/RockBottomGame/comments/1w2cg0y/communal_abyss_pit_97_the_splayed_spine/
>>579322090I fucking hate Alan Wake. It always spoils itself.
I saw Atelier mentioned in the OP and remembered I wanted to give the series a try. How's Atelier Sophie as an entry point? I'm just looking to have a chill time so I don't want anything with too much time pressure, and I don't want to start TOO recent because I have the patience to play and get hooked on something that may be a little aged and clunky but it's going to be easier to move on to newer entries than older ones.
>>579320159As you get older your taste gets more refined, more picky too. I want something specific that is just not out there. If had more brains and money I would be working towards making shit I want.
>>579324012If you want an autistic writeup this is a solid one I found when I was asking myself the same question - https://auratriolo.com/blog/auras-guide-to-the-modern-atelier/ . Still haven't played any of the bastards.
>>579324803Oh wow, this is a substantial writeup alright. Looks like it confirms what I was thinking so I'll start there. Thanks!
>>579323362Pretty cool, I just finished it.Jump King but not punishing at all.
I wonder what's the overlap between here and /egg/>>578668840I didn't finish all the levels from Nimi's Garden, though technically I made a "Text Is Persist" in The Roots, which would have allowed to cheese everything, but "Persist" and a few other words bug when you bring them where they're not supposed to be
>>579307892(you)
>>579312690I have only played old fire emblem and and robot wars games from gba. SRW original generation had a banger ost and was quite fun.
>>579301878It's a nice change of pace, to be sure. The most "horrifying" part of the game turns out to be that you can murder her, which feels like an interesting idea.
>>579325658did you do the normal ascent? that's about 100m in-game. the community ones are shorter and not as difficult only about 35m.
>>579343696The one you linked yeah, it was like 97m.I'll try some others later
>>579343935i must of spent an hour on my first run, but this time it only took me about 10 mins, that's why i was surprised how quick you did it, but by the looks of it you had lot of practice. Didn't do that campaign on Jump King myself was too burnt out on the other two
