So, did you play it for her?
No, it's shit

>>3990935You're a wallaby.
>>3990884john is prejudiced against fluffy girls. it's a sign of subpar moral standing and bad karma
>>3990884Arthur sounds like a blackpilled faggot.
>>3990974He kinda is but he's really not an asshole about it at all, read his books they're really approachable.
>>3990825Yeah.>basically a filler episode>no Masami>one Junko scene>yet another cliffhanger ending>book 7 probably not coming this decadeBig "eh" from me.>>3990884Never ever.
>>3990974
>>3990999His mother was a jealous cunt though.
>>3990999The fact that hegel was allowed to learn how to read much less to write is a crime in of itself.
>>3990825I played it for him
>>3990997So nothing happens the entire game?
>>3991044yesu like?
>>3991044
>>3991044just finished it and it's definitely filler, very fun filler, but filler nonethelessit literally ends with you exiting the academy still in Masami's bodyeven so I really liked the new characters and even if the author said the Masami romance is not happening, it definitely feels like he's trying to justify it actually she only looked like a child because her magic blood made her age slower and now that you've possessed her she starts aging rapidly and your body starts to de-agealso the shit about theyellow eyed demons waiting to destroy the world makes me feel like the final book may be either long as hell or split in two
>>3991139>actually she only looked like a child because her magic blood made her age slower and now that you've possessed her she starts aging rapidly and your body starts to de-ageWhat da...
>>3991238 there's also a scene where a busty underaged blind miku is put in shibari while you take her hostage and she enjoys it , also the ronin straight up says that you and junko fucked while you were kids, and you threaten junko with replacing her with masami when she accept that she belongs in hellI have no idea how cog allowed the game to be published.
>>39908846 more months!

>>3991492You'd love Pathfinder:Kingmaker. Once you get to Act 3 you get access to so much citybuilding autism ans it only expands, you get more and more buildings with stranger bonuses the longer the game goes on

After losing out on Fang's Quest yet again, I began to truly see the depths of the sickness of this world with my own eyes. People licking the boots of patreon merchants that crush dreams under foot. I will tear down this rotten empire and give the people the full measure of terror they so desperately need.

>>3991770>actively wanting wodslopHello White Wolf employee.
>>3991825wodslop is unironically easily in the upper half of cog games
>>3991828If you only count grenkildove, night road and book then sureIf you count the rest too then those are just as bad as the rest
>>3991828Grim.
>>3991825>>3991828>>3991832>>3991833There are other standout ones like Parliament of Knives and even Hoboslop is of relatively decent quality. I was promised more premises and more opportunities for decent writers to make me WoDslop and WoDslop I demand. Also I saw that the Hollywood one lets you fuck the werewolf again, so that's a plus. There is the capacity for kino in the hands of a good writer, and there are way too many CoG games for me to possibly entertain them all
>>3991841Its V5 wodslop. The worst kind
>>3991845These authors pull some genuine miracles to make the WoDslop work even with V5, but the games are solid.
>>3991841>even Hoboslop is of relatively decent qualityJust admit to being a white wolf employee, it'd be less embarrassing>there is the capacity of kino in the hands of a good writerThe theoretical game would have even more potential if it wasn't tied to a shambling corpse of an IP Pon Para 3 when
>>3991841does the hollywood one have a demo out? last I checked it didn't even have a release date on steam even tho it was announced together with the hobogame
>>3991849>spoilerRealistically, never.
I tire of waiting.
>>3992349You must now cultivate the Dao of Waiting.
WHERE IS THE FUCKING EXPANSION?!?!
that's it im' going to start playing those text rpg porn games!
> V6 was just confirmed. Unreleased vtmslop is going to be subjected to mandatory rewrites and delays just to comply with the new ruleset. You know what this means? No new vampire games till 2028. It's over.

>gets criticized once>goes into exileAre writers human?
>>3992878It's the 300k prologue game?
>>3992882Yep.
>>3992878You cut off the date, it's from May 6th and judging by the one comment he got under this post it's been radio silence since despite the "next friday" estimateThe post before this on patreon is a poll asking whether people want monthly updates regardless of progress or only released when when the episode is done (monthly won) kekYou can't convince me this isn't an elaborate shitpost
I don't come here as often as I used too but it looks like the sequel to Arcadie is finally coming out.I don't actually remember much other then really wishing my sister didn't die and instead wanting to working with her. I should probably replay the game before the second one comes out.
>>3993221I dropped the game when the sister died kek
>>3993221it is also sequel bait?
>>3991938From what I'm aware no, either it's a slow writer or I guess it's more linear like Glenkildove and a demo wouldn't be enough>>3992617This is both a blessing and a curse, but V6 is mostly going to suck anyway because White Wolf doesn't hire anyone of talent and the sufficient autism and conspiracy-theorist brain (like me). Also it's too safe, all the edge of the setting has been gone
>>3993221I'm hype.While the sister was best girl I enjoyed the slow burn route with FemWil.I need to reply it and see what FagCyril's like and if you can fuck him on the couch as a guy.>>3993249I was legit surprised she went through with it.Killing her off was also a missed opportunity to have this stand apart from other royal heir games
No good games
>>3993221It started off fairly well but by the end I was so disinterested, probably won't play the second one.
Anon, surely you've started Fang!'s quest by now.

>>3993705People have been talking about this for years
>>3993705He's been winging it since he started writing.
>>3993705how many cyoa readers are reading them only because of possible romance
>>399387380% to 90%
>>399387390%, including me
>>3993873Femoids only, so 80%
>>3993873Like 80% because there was a noticeable amount of bitching at Wayhaven and Soul Stone War forcing you to get on somebody's route.
>>3993873Probably the same amount that read vns for the h-scenes
>>3993873It's a make or break feature for majority of normalfags, hence why it's been such a pervasive plague upon the rpg genre as a whole.
Don't care for romance. It's rare for a writer to write one that makes me feel anything other than contempt or mild annoyance.

>>3994948elden ring
>>3994954>ranni>evil
Most ROs are evil witches, sent to block your path to greatness by distracting you with relationship bullshit.
>>3994975she is though. she's selfish. she does what she wants for herself. that's textbook villain. just because she's nice to the player doesn't mean she's a good person. and just because she's not a good person doesn't mean you can't like her. I chose her ending for a reason. after all "What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."
IFs where you can kill insignificant insects who get in the way of your ambition? Bonus points for saying stuff like "DIE WORMS!"
>>3995016>she is though. she's selfish. she does what she wants for herself. that's textbook villainIts funny that what you see as selfishness I see as self determination, it was planned for ranni to be the next puppet of the greater will, entirely out of her control. She murdered her half brother just to escape that fate, i can't really blame her when i would have done something similarly drastic if my choices where that or being dragged from my current life to be the next fucking marika
>>3995048>Its funny that what you see as selfishness I see as self determinationbecause it is one and the same. in the end, it's all about ego. but look at her from a wider perspective. her actions have brought upon so much suffering. is it all her fault? definitely not. did she know all of that would happen? of course not. but those things still happened. and she did all that for herself. not for the betterment of others. solely for herself. from a traditional point of view, she is evil. she doesn't even seem particularly guilty about it either. she's the complete opposite of the goody two shoes hero who sacrifices himself for The Greater Good^TM. you can see what I mean right?aside from that, I think you're empathizing with her too much. you see her actions as good because you yourself would've done so. which is not a bad thing, but it does bias your perception.
I don't care about Ranni
What's up with Suzerain? I haven't paid attention in a while. Didn't they talk about 2 new DLcs and a new Disco Elysium clone? It seems they've done nothing in the last two years.
>>3995058>from a traditional point of view, she is evildoing things for yourself is not evil
>>3995058>aside from that, I think you're empathizing with her too much. you see her actions as good because you yourself would've done so. which is not a bad thing, but it does bias your perception.Yeah thats entirely fair, i know i've got personal bias for individualism and i could easily romantacize her but i understand how she could be viewed as a villian and how warrented it is, for me shes one of the contenders of least bad because frenzy flame exists as an allyable faction and are far more classic "destroy the world lmao" evil and i don't trust the golden order and the stagnation the've caused. [Spoiler] i wasn't even the anon that originally replied to your post, i'd guess first that it was in relation to the feed me eyeballs girl than ranni

>>3995016How can you not love this?
>discord community thread
>>3995073>doing things for yourself is not evilyes, but that's not the whole story. she did things for herself and others had to pay the price. it's not like that was her only option. she could've plotted to assassinate Marika instead. or maybe killed off all the fingers. she could've collaborated with the other Empyreans. Malenia strikes me as the kind of person who would sacrifice herself for Miquella. they could've done the thing they did to Godwin on her in exchange for Radhan protecting Miquella or something, to remove all Empyreans and guaranteeing Miquella's ascension. or some other thing I'm not smart even to figure out. they've got magick, there could be other answers.>>3995084yeah she's not pure evil like the frenzy flame. at best she's morally grey, but to have grey, you gotta have some black somewhere.>>3995433but I do. it's why I picked her ending. it's why I quoted Nietzsche

Le sigh... time for another Suzerain playthrough where I do everything the same like all the other playthroughs.
>>3996031I can't help it, I want Anrica to win and I want Deivid to praise me for changing the constitution
I know cyoa's are all about choice and different actions leading to different results but sometimes I always cave in and play lawful good human warrior or its equivalent because being mean to characters makes me feel bad
>>3996062That used to be me early on. In the last few years, with the characters they introduce to me, I enjoy fucking them over.Games of the monarch's eye was egrecious
are jin yong's novels the best reference material for wuxia stuff?
>>3996062If the bad option didn't exist, the good one would have no meaning.
>>3996065>best wuxia refenceWatch Thunderbolt Fantasy, it's unironically the best reference you can get.
>>3996091This anon knows what he's talking about.
>>3995073>A man’s virtues are called good depending on their probable consequences not for him but for us and society: the praise of virtues has always been far from “selfless,” far from “unegoistic.” Otherwise one would have had to notice that virtues (like industriousness, obedience, chastity, filial piety, and justice) are usually harmful for those who possess them, being instincts that dominate them too violently and covetously and resist the efforts of reason to keep them in balance with their other instincts. When you have a virtue, a real, whole virtue (and not merely a mini-instinct for some virtue), you are its victim. But your neighbor praises your virtue precisely on that account. One praises the industrious even though they harm their eyesight or the spontaneity and freshness of their spirit. One honors and feels sorry for the youth who has worked himself into the ground because one thinks: “For society as a whole the loss of even the best individual is merely a small sacrifice. Too bad that such sacrifices are needed! But it would be far worse if the individual would think otherwise and considered his preservation and development more important than his work in the service of society.” Thus one feels sorry for the youth not for his own sake but because a devoted instrument, ruthless against itself—a so-called “good man”—has been lost to society by his death.
>>3996006>>>/biz/plsalso they both blacked?!?! damning.
>>3995644>muh politicsadd falun gong and xtian shit to trigger all the "modern audience".
>>3996065>jin yong's novelsit's the most "normie" of classical wuxia. also it has NTR so it's good!
>>3996190So again, doing things for yourself is not evil
>>3996195nta but murdering people who did nothing to you because it helps your goals is pretty evil
>>3996196>i did not kill baby hitler because he dindus to me, therefore i am pretty unevil.
>>3996195I think we're talking about different things here. if you read the quote above, you'd understand that what is good for the individual is usually bad for society. when people talk about "good" and "evil" they're usually talking about societal good, not individual good. I actually agree with you lmao>>3996197why is your first option to kill baby hitler? whatever happened to second chances? since you can kill hitler, than means you can change the past. is it not "good" to aim for the most favorable outcome?with that said, let's try a different angle. what if killing baby hitler results in you not existing? like someone else more competent could've lead to germany winning and thus completely altering the course of history. or maybe a completely different war happens that results in even more deaths? does that not make their deaths your fault? what gives you the right to play god? your biased understanding of justice and virtue?
>tripfag too retarded to realise you can reply to more than one post at a time
Haven't visited in about a month. Anything interesting happen?
>>3996427New game just dropped >>3996001Beyond that, not really. Most writers are writing. Samurai of Hyuga 6 came out but it was a 300k word filler episode. I don't know why these full time writings are taking 2-3 years to write what is basically 1-2 updates and call it a book. If you're fulltime you should have 1m words in 2 years easily, that's 2k words per day with weekends off. They should be hitting double that if they're fulltime, easily.
>>3996438Huh. Well, see you guys again in about a month
>>3996200because i can.i agree with the other guy who said doing stuff for my own benefit is le good. good and evil and primitive concepts anyway. the words themselves are subject to corruption and the forces of chaos. therefore you cannot have good or evil without order. so in making a decision or even question whether something is good/bad, you already side with order. but the universe is chaos. constant chaos, therefore anything that has a decision and outcome is already a favourable outcome if you side with order.
>>3996438>New game just dropped >>3996001that's just nigerian AI crap , it seems.
New Aura Clash update just dropped!
>>3996737that's terrible!
>>3996735how is killing hitler the "order" option when it's literally the option with an unknown outcome? I mean sure killing hitler will mean hitler dies, but you can't possibly predict everything else that changes so isn't that actually the chaotic option? and doing something because you can sounds pretty chaotic to me
>>3996739>With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

>>3998202two more reworks and 10 more updates nobody cares about and maybe
>>3998615I only care about updates where I can job.
As innovative and creative as pomas automated jobbing system is, I think I prefer the flashy shonen fighting and hijinx of Aura Clash.
>>3998624>automated jobbing systemHarsh
>>3998622>>3998624Never read poma, is the MC forced to job all the time or what
>>3998633Not really, we're kinda memeing but the MC is a super genius reincarnation of the STRONGEST cultivator ever and and you are humbled by a shitload of weak bitches.
>>3998633Yes.Also doesn't help the game is balanced for cheat mode so if you play on normal you have to do extremely tedious optimization that involves buying hte same item 1000 times and you probably still end up jobbing.

>>3998687Did he change the crit system? When I played it, it basically just let you skip the completely trivial fights while doing nothing else.>>3998679I mean, the most recent fight is designed to be nearly impossible on normal difficulty.
What yin element gets the most use in AC? Darkness is kind of underwhelming, it said stealth and trickery but Light seems better for that.
>>3998852Ice from what I've found
>>3998852No idea, honestly. I always play with the exact same build. I change the order of some stuff to "optimize" but the build is the same - human, aoyusumu, water + storm. I'm probably going to also go with Flayed as my foundation.
>>3998852Shadow is a pretty good auto solution for fights and trials. More so than light for Chapter 8 and beyond, really.Water and earth are also safe picks for many solutions and good techniques (plus free advancements)
>>3998852I wouldn't discredit it completely. It comes with a very useful melee ability and the passive ability that absorbs aura from fights can be stacked with others, leading to a not so small gain on the long term.
>>3998854>>3998855Yeah, I was thinking of Water + Storm myself, but I think I'll sub out water for Ice. Maybe make a frost aryan with white hair.
>>3998859Midnight Blade is really good but I was thinking more of unique choices rather than extra numbers in melee combat/power gaming.
>>3998852I've double-checked the code. It's Ice>Earth>Darkness
>>3998862Shadow is one of the three elements that gives clone access (or mist clones if you are monkey), and works for various teleport like solutions in general.The fact that you can get it for free is also a bonus(as in, not from the temple or with memorywell). And it has AP absorption techniques.Generally, ice from yin and light from yang are the ones that I rank lowest., but they still have some good techniques and solutions.Aoyusumu light and shadow balanceman is pretty interesting
>>3998866Does this count the various [Element event[ that give extra prowess?Granted, a few of them are actually automatic successes hidden behind choices you would not know use the element (after so many runs, I just discovered that blasting Daichi while having storm has a unique scene)
What am I supposed to pair wind with? Wind & Storm are too cool but the ying yang shit is fucked up
>>3998874>KihiWater>The restEarth or Shadow(not shadow for Kuro, redundant)Shadow you can get for free.

>>3999678The draw is a 1-1 no?
>>3999618>loses to a child with an ordinary knife
>>3999676Can you lose during the dragon trial?
>>3999685Yes, there is a damage threshold.Whenever your stats, assigned techniques or element rank lead to a [Damage Increased[ message, you get even closer to it.Sone are obscure, like Godhand Judgement option gaining an equilibrium bonus if your cores are the same for Soul and Agility
What is steam trying to tell me with this?
>>3999676You can actually win against Jack then if playing as a monkey yokai. Wukong smites you for being cheeky so it looks like a double KO and nominally ends with a draw.>>3999691That will teach you. The more CoG gaymes you play the faggier your recommendations are going to be.
>>3999676>childhood victoriesthe equivalent of farmer's league in soccer
>>3999685Yeah but it's almost impossible to fail the damage check. And even if you would fail the damage check, there are a bunch of options that give you a guaranteed win regardless. JDFs win automatically, Kiihakai users win automatically if they have the dragon punch, Monkey youkai win automatically if they trained with wukong.
>>3999723I failed on my very first run(back when chapter 8 was first release) cause I also picked the options that did not correspond to my abilities beside obvious ones (like blasts relying on soul).Heck, I failed to kill teh lightbringer and had to reload on Daichi.Granted, I also ran of vibes and did not even have Seals or alchemy up

For Aura clash, does anyone have a case for accessories that are worth having over the elemental crests?Beyond the argument of 'fuck synergy, I get 2 elements I like'.
>>4000160The crests are the best ones but you could make a case for the kiihakai style bonus one from desdemona's quest.
>>4000162Oh yeah, that's good.I guess that one works with going to the Inn and picking Afterimage, since you ally with Desdemona by default
Anyone played the demo for Arcadie 2? I'm positive i played the first one, yet i don't remember a single thing about it.
>>4000202the only thing you need to remember is that the snowniggers all deserve death

Best IFs for annihilating "humanity" and retiring to a frozen rock in deep space and never having to interact with another human ever again?
>>4000267Choice of robots
>>4000160If you aren't assembling both elemental crests, I'd go as far as to say that any accessory is better because elemental rank really isn't that big of a deal at all. Doubly true for Kiihakai, since they can't bomb a sectmaster in ch9 for a free crest and a black belt.An additional skill level that you can switch in and out is increasingly useful as the game starts throwing at you common 4 and 5 skill rank requirements.
>>4000840While there are a few adept locked choices (plus extra damage events or bypassing the stat check), the core bonuses on top of that with proper synergy is what make me pick it every time.With just a single one, you are probably correct that you might as well settle for everything else

I use the bomb on Jack. Is that the best place to use it or is there a better spot?
>>4001086Either there or in the Stallion trial for the Yin crest and a black belt.

Using it to beat Jack is the best and only correct option if you're not a monkey yokai.

Would you guys read a cyoa about being shipwrecked on an island/small peninsula with a small cast of characters and trying to survive either exploring the uncharted land and delving into its secrets or alternatively searching for a way off the godforsaken rock?
>>4002066Only if the author read works like Robinson Crusoe or Mysterious Island to get their inspiration.
>>4002066Sounds cool, I always liked Robinson Crusoe. But even the coolest idea can be strangled by bad execution. So yeah, I would play it if it was good.
>>4002069>>4002074I picked up robinson crusoe to read, i think one of my inspirations is this old pre rendered adventure game i vividly remember playing as a kid of a dude that was captured by pirates escaping and wounding up on a deserted island. My idea for a first chapter would be having a handful of backgrounds that all ended up on a mercantile cum transport vessel either working as a deckhand, a passanger or a stowaway in a vaguely 17th century setting having a chance to meet and interact with some of the characters before things go sideways. Right now i'm drawing up a rough outline of the structure and list of what to research, like learning some real life nautical knowledge for the deckhand background and the boat itself
>>4002080Good luck anon.
>>4002066Only if the small cast characters is composed entirely of natives (female)
>>4002087Kek
>>4002087It probably won't have as much of an element of romance because i am not all that confident in my ability to write a good romance much less erotic scenes, it would probably be something like infinity where romance is there but largely takes the backseat to the historic warfare and calvary autism but with pirates and that era of swashbuckling adveture. I'll try my hand at it but i'm more confident creating the other aspects is what i'm saying, at least at this point, when i have a better understanding of the characters i want, their dynamics and relationship to the player character i'll feel more confident in breaching the subject.
>>4000983The Get but unfortunately the writers think you're a Nazi chud if you like them. Though for some reason the real problem player faction (Red Talons) was untouched in W5.

>>4003450Super gay.
>>4003450You forgot how your sister is railroaded to always die
>>4003452People don't hold Lost Heir trilogy in high regard but when you become a king, nobodies don't fuck with you anymore.
>>4003455If I didn't have a deep hatred of programming as a principle, I'd write a game about being an actual fucking medieval king that gets treated like a monarch instead of a random commoner.
>>4003458You know what sends me flying? That monarchs always had to weigh court factions against one another, deal with unruly vassals and be careful not to have one estate in the realm dominate the other ones, so it was never smooth sailing, but these hacks don't understand that. They write from the place of "monarchy bad, no more kings" and have the kings be treated as unpopular middle managers in a corpo. Fucking cretins. No wonder that Wang is their golden boy, in a country of witless, a halfwit would rule.
>>4003462It's obvious that none of the people writing about the middle ages have read anything about the middle ages.And that includes the good ones too - ITFO is generally regarded as one of the better nobleslop games, right? But the writer clearly doesn't know much about actual medieval warfare.Like, for example, he treats organizing your troops into legions as this ancient forgotten secret that makes them ultradupergreat, but that's completely fucking retarded. Roman legions were obsolete by the time rome fell, much less a thousand years later. Does he think that people just stopped understanding warfare?
>>4003464>Does he think that people just stopped understanding warfare?It's them not understanding warfare and instead of learning anything about it simply taking what they know and treating it as expert knowledge when in reality it's very basic and should be extremely commonThat and logistics has been reddit's favorite buzzword for like a decade now. No longer is the most retarded fantasy question a "what about their tax policy?", it's now "what about the logistics". And no, they don't understand logistics either beyond knowing it's a thing that happens during war and whoever has bigger number of logistics wins the war
>>4003474In all fairness, to accurately portray pre-industrial military logistics with any degree of accuracy beyond "Fight during harvest season and forage shit" would be downright impossible in a simplistic text game.Trust me, I made a whole fucking excel spreadsheet to calculate daily consumption of food and fodder in kilograms for my 4chinz military fanfic nonsense and it doesn't even scratch the surface of reality.
>>4003474Admittedly, logistics is the more important part of warfare but as you said, they know nothing of it. Ask them a question about how they are going to make sure the army has water at every point of the war and they will not be able to give you a correct answer.
In medieval wars logistics only meant rampaging through the countryside taking everything you could while looting and burning and murdering and raping and maiming and so on.
>>4003488You have what it takes to write a great CYOA.

>>4003563hey everyone's charlie's come to see us!
>>4002284Not anymore, even more people can be problematic players because you don't need to make an actual wolf to be a misanthropic sociopath who disrupts the sessions by going full ecofascist anymore.>>4002326I fuck the Men (and Nin), but her personality is just so schizo and clashing with what she's supposed to represent (leadership and traditionalism or nobility as the tenured Silver Fang Philodox), but she genuinely just argues for you to be a gorilla at every opportunity.
>>4003155To be fair, there's only three girl werewolves with portraits and one of them is more of a grandma character.>>4003157This bitch might be a stupid schizophrenic fake Stacey, but she's such an eccentric nutjob that she ends up kino in every scene.

After they had dealt with the barbarians in the south the north was next again. Stanislas was unironically correct to kill the parents, they were bloodthirsty retards.

>>4004024>"VGH FIGHT THE SYSTEM" which if you pick during the ride with welles ironically reduces her affection and immeditely shuts down the conversationBecause she is not against the system, she just wants to participate in it on better terms, which is very understandable.
