>>162225Posting this here just in case they don't see it on the previous thread.
I'm playing on Switch and the framerate can drop in places, same like you said the village the first time but it really drops if I go in the village grain field. But the rest of the game has been fine bar one area, and it's not egregious so it's very easy to ignore.
I do love the customisation and also bought the add-ons butit does feel like they could've done just some more with it, but it's not a huge problem.

So far, the original FFVII has much better storytelling. I'm afraid it will stay like that.

>>173271>>173264Yes Final fantasy 15 is honestly such a nice Final fantasy first timer game. The story doesn’t take long to finish at all and you level up quite fast which is nice for more casual players. You play as cute husbandos with great chemistry so it’s such a pleasure to just chill and go camping, drive around with music, cook some delicious food etc. I like that the game never makes you feel lonely too, there’s always new and funny dialogue when you’re just walking around. Scrotes hate the game because of the bromance but I find it wholesome. It’s also a lot better than what it first was at it’s release. Much more to do now and the different combat when changing characters during fights is so fun to play around with.

Backlog anon here again, I realize how much time I spent playing vidya during the first half of the year, but since I quit my call center job and got another more normal office job I have less free time to play anything. I said I'd play Bravely Default and SMT3 but it's been months since I touched them. I started SMT5 but got lazy so I played like 12 hours so far and it's been two weeks since I touched it as well. I'm having an easier time playing Dai Gyakuten Saiban on the Switch instead since it's a visual novel/adventure game. If I beat both games before 2022 I deserve some kind of reward. 2022 will be the year when I'll mostly play JRPGs I already have and wait for Bayonetta 3. After that I literally can't think of any other game that interest me, unless maybe I get a second hand PS4 and get games on sales.
Anyway, I just finished the 3rd case of DGS1 and I've never been more frustrated with a case before in the series. It's obvious it's done on purpose for the rest of the two games and the second case also frustrated me with the culprit being like "oh no I didn't do anything wrong, I just accidentally killed a guy for the pettiest reason ever but I'm kawawi uwu so I should be forgiven, but it worked well on me. Also, Ryunosuke is cute.

No. 173462
>>173452>>173435>nayrt, but this game made me cry so much.That sounds incredibly promising, but… is the game typical Nomura/Nojima spaghetti plot bullshit? See: newish Kingdom Hearts games (post KH2, though the problem started with that game), most of the plot changes in FFVIIR, etc. I think the FFVII Crisis Core is the best example of everything I hate about those games. I really can't stand that crap. I'm worried it would ruin the fun.
Yoshinori Kitase seems to be the best FF writer, since he is responsible for FFVI and FFVII (aka games considered the best in the series thanks to their plot). He wasn't writing anything past that and it shows.
No. 173502
>>173462Agreed 100%. There was a genuine charm about the older Final Fantasy games that completely disappeared in the newer games in exchange for the Nomura-ian weeby fanservice-y bullshit. Nomura has an eye for visuals (he has a background in character design after all) but he wouldn't recognize good writing and plot if they hit him in the face.
Also, the franchise used to be much more experimental and varied (both visually and thematically) and nowadays they play it safe by either making a game about pretty boys and girls in a generic fantasy setting or trying to relive the Sakaguchian glory of the old games by remaking them. I wish they got a good writer and cared less about creating pretty samefaced characters. Scrote in vid summed it up well
No. 173532
>>173502I have specifically checked and Nojima already was meddling in FFVII. But I guess Kitase was the main writer and therefore was keeping his bullshit to a minimum.
By the time I was able to play the FF games (around FFX-FFXII), they were a shadow of their former glory.
>I wish they got a good writer and cared less about creating pretty samefaced characters. This would make ALL THE DIFFERENCE for the series. Ok if you have got to, keep same faced Mary and Gary Stus. Please give them vivid personalities and stories, I'm literally begging at this point. Someone pull the plug on Nomura and Nojima, they've been ruining the franchise for ages. Imagine thinking time jannies are a great idea lmfao.
Maybe I'm being unrealistic, but I think that FFVII Advent Children (or however it would be titled) could have been a good movie at least if someone competent wrote it. People didn't love FFVII for spectacular fights. I'm not saying they were not needed, but they shouldn't be the entire basis of the movie.
>Agreed 100%. There was a genuine charm about the older Final Fantasy games that completely disappeared in the newer games in exchange for the Nomura-ian weeby fanservice-y bullshit. What would be the cut off point for you? Thanks for the video, I'm gonna watch it soon

>>173502>the Nomura-ian weeby fanservice-y bullshit. Nomura has an eye for visuals (he has a background in character design after all) but he wouldn't recognize good writing and plot if they hit him in the face.Not directly related but you just reminded me that I loved the characters he designed in Xenoblade 2 because they looked cool and had legit interesting backstories and goals. Jin felt like a fusion of Cloud and Sephiroth when it comes to his voice actors, his character design, his backstory, his personality before and after
Lora dies, etc.but without the bullshit from the recent FF games. Imagine an unrelated video game being more similar to the classic FF games than the last FF games released these past 15 years without the devs even trying. Nomura should stick to just being a character designer.

nonnie.
I don't agree with everything he said (and he speaks like a typical vtard) but if there's one thing he's right about, it's that Nomura IS a hack and a horrible writer. I fucking hated Advent Children and I hate when FF7 'fans' take Nomura's word as law.
I actually like the Remake a lot
though admittedly I'm an Aerithfag who finds the idea of her time travelling to some extent intriguing, so I still hold hope for it.
I'm going to hold my tongue on a lot of things about the Remake until Part 2 eventually comes out, since I think that's when we'll really see what the hell the time jannies are really up to (picrel).

No. 173700
>>173440I'm reading DGS1 at the moment too (currently on 5th case). The second case drove me nuts
It feels like the original plan was for the sailor to be the culprit, sending his boa constrictor through the obvious pipes that you're not allowed to click on to snap the victim's neck (there wouldn't be bruising if he died that fast), and then framing the ballerina, but they pivoted at the literal last moment (maybe they decided it was too close to the original speckled band?) and ended up with a case that's really unsatisfying and doesn't hold together logically at all (even by AA standards-how do you faceplant into a bedpost hard enough to snap your neck and end up with no visible facial injuries?). It also felt like they only floated the idea of Kazuma dying by tripping over a small cat to soften the blow of him actually going out like a soap opera character (I saw a lot of people saying 'at least the culprit wasn't actually the cat' when commenting on the case) I'm enjoying the rest of the game (aside from Iris and her hideous bobblehead loli proportions). It's very hand-holdy at first, but I think it's getting better about that as it goes along.

>>173700>>173705Ok then I just read it. Spoilers about previous games: My opinion is that
the writers knew what they were doing, but they half assed it because they wanted the cute girl to be the culprit for shock value but they couldn't commit to it, at least not for what's "just" the second case. I can believe Kazuma snapping his neck because he fell on the ground or on the bedpost, because that kind of thing happens irl too often but again, it felt like a pretext to make sure the girl was "just" guilty of manslaughter. It doesn't even work because she only feels sorry for herself while sometimes saying "oh, poor guy, too bad he died. ANYWAY feel bad for me!! Abloobloo I stole a shit ton of money from my shitty ballet troupe and fled and misunderstood a random harmless guy because I'm beyond retard uwuuu pwease feel bad for meeee" no fuck off with that shit, case 2-3 was shit but it worked way better at making me feel bad for the culprit. This could be some kind of set up and maybe related Kazuma's mysterious goal though? Kind of like how Mia becomes even more important once she dies, who knows. I've been told way back that DGS1 wasn't that good because was meant to have a sequel, but now we have the sequel and the first game in one game so we'll see how it goes. Anyway, the third case was REALLY good at making the whole situation seem really frustrating and fishy near the end. I'm really looking forward to what's next.I could sperg about Ace Attorney for the rest of my life. By the way, I love that Capcom used the bootleg Sherlock and Watson's names from the Arsène Lupin novels, it works way too well given that the ones in the game feel more like affectionate parodies instead of just modern versions of the originals. It's way too meta too, since Capcom had the exact same problem as Leblanc did, expect Leblanc got told off by Doyle himself back then. I bet the very first Arsène Lupin readers were also making the same jokes about how "Herlock Sholmes" is a stupid name too after Leblanc was threatened with a lawsuit. I'd love an Ace Attorney game inspired by these novels and short stories, not counting case 3-3.
No. 173711
>>173707Spoilers for case 2 (in case anyone ITT wants to read it but hasn't yet):
The reason I assumed they made a late pivot in the plot is because the writing is obviously rushed leading to weird plotholes (why didn't she just wear the fake beard, or get the sailor to go grab her fucking cat? Why didn't the sailor clean up the other half of the bell? etc.) and because there are some things that seem like they should have art assets but don't and some art assets which are totally pointless for how much effort obviously went into them (the s-s-s-snake being the prime example). It just feels like it was stitched together from something else. You're probably right though, they wanted the murderer to be sympathetic but just couldn't find a way to make it work. It's frustrating, even she didn't seem to really know why she thought attacking Kazuma would improve her situation. Also 'I just pushed him and he accidently died' has always been the lamest shit. I'm hoping they reveal that there was more to what happened, we definitely haven't seen the last of Kazuma.I really liked the culprit's design from case 1 (overall I'm not crazy about the character designs in this game though, they're a bit too professor layton). Thought the case itself dragged on a bit for a tutorial case, kept thinking it was going to end and then it didn't. Case 3 was fun, I liked examining the carriage. I like the jury mini-game too.
Is it true that they had to change the names because of legal issues? Isn't the character public domain by now?
If you like Lupin, you should check out the A.J. Raffles stories. They were written by Conan Doyle's brother-in-law, and they're about a gentlemen thief. They inspired the Lupin character.
How are you finding case 4?
No. 173723
>>173716I looked it up, apparently a handful of the later stories aren't public domain in the US so the Conan Doyle estate always tries to make a legal case that media involving the Sherlock Holmes character uses 'elements' from these later stories in some obscure way. Apparently they've even tried to argue that media which characterizes Sherlock as cheerful and friendly is ripping off the last few stories, because he mellows out in them, so you have to portray him as grumpy or you're ripping them off.
I assume the point of contention was either that, or the games have a later case that's based on one of those stories that still aren't public domain.

Did you guys follow the absolute shitfest that is "Your Boyfriend" game?
>Your Boyfriend is a point-and-click, erotic, horror, visual novel and a dating simulator game developed by Fuboo.
I like horror VN so I looked into it and watched let's plays of the demo 2 first days. The best way I'd describe it is cringy, edgy and laced with forced queer representation. The cringe level is even more damning when you know that the dev, Fuboo, is a middle-aged woman. The game development seems to be on hiatus, some people are speculating that Fuboo just dropped the game and ran with the kickstarter/patreon money, which wouldn't be surprising, considering the amount of drama the game got itself into.
>There were grooming allegations (apparently debunked) against her and her husband who are in a poly relationship
>The voice for Peter, main antagonist/yandere guy, said something deemed as transphobic on Discord and was removed from the game because of it (kek)
The funniest shit IMO is how Fuboo is super autistic about not wanting minors to play Your Boyfriend when the overall edginess of the game alongside its shoehorned representation obviously panders to an underage twitterfag audience. I swear, all yandere type games are cursed

>>176267Ok you know what? I need to talk about it some more. Obviously, spoilers for DGS1 and 2, but also spoilers for the entire series:
DGS1 and 2 feel WAY more like a continuation of AA4 than AA5 and AA6 ever will. Barok and Klint's backstory was clearly related to Klavier and Kristoph's backstory, but with a twist and way more detailed and relevant, especially when it comes to how traumatized all the people involved became. Asougi felt like he was just inspired by Edgeworth instead of being a copypaste of the character. Playing the whole thing made me feel satisfied, the only thing I would have liked was some closure when it comes to Barok being Iris' uncle. I want them to get to know each other, but obviously that wasn't possible on-screen since that revelation happened at the very end of the very last case of the last game. As for gameplay, the story isn't relying on supernatural shit like in AA6 thank god, and it uses the jury system, which makes sense based on how AA4 ended. It's like Shu Takumi had all these ideas for sequels focusing on the events and characters of AA4 and couldn't use them for the main series because some incompetent bitch became the main writer for AA5 and AA6. At least AA5 can be seen as a standalone game, the story is self-contained, it's fun even though it's straight up Ghost Trick with lawyers when it comes to the story. But my god AA6 is a disaster. It should have never existed, and making Apollo have 209279530 dead fathers, 9274095°085 backstories and making him fuck off to not!India was a huge mistake. All for the sake of keeping Phoenix as the main character of the series for marketing reasons only. AA4 made the mistake of not developing everything because of the lack of time to write and add things to the game, and pic related makes me think Shu Takumi probably wanted to have direct sequels, or even a trilogy. We got irrelevant spinoffs about Edgeworth instead and games not even written by Shu Takumi, fucking great. I want more well-written spinoffs by Shu Takumi or anyone who's competent and not the guy who's responsible for AA5 and AA6, in case the main series turn to shit later on, so at least I will have something to play. I'm posting the pic that made me come back to vent, I have no idea how to show how frustrated I am.

If you actually plan to play as much different games as possible (for instance if you want to get some extensive point of view on videogames, like me) it's actually not that hard to beat 30 or more video games a year. The steps for it are :
- get a PC so you can play all games (a laptop with 8GB of RAM can run and emulate nearly all games released before 2012)
- get a lot of games (humble bundle monthly, steam sales, or just download them for free)
- actually finish the games you started and don't start too many games at the same time (3 should be the limit, with 1 exciting easy game like assassin's creed and 1 not exciting but good game like morrowind then you cycle between them when you get bored)
- play games from genres with short length (FPS games and point and clicks can be beaten in a matter of days) or indie games, which are usually short because lol no budget
I also collect a lot of "the 100 best videogames you MUST play" lists, they pressure me to actually play the games and not diddle around

There are more ways to make it work but on my computer I got the mednafen emulator (
https://mednafen.github.io/releases/ ) and a program that is a user interface for it because it doesn't have one - you can still play games by dragging their file onto the mednafen.exe but I prefer it this way - mednaffe (
https://awesomeopensource.com/project/AmatCoder/mednaffe ). Then you just need to download the game and a bios file (syscard3.pce) and place it in the folder where you installed mednafen in the subfolder firmware. That's it, then you can play the game. I think… I forgot a little but I think that's all
Also I installed an emulator so I can play the game on my phone too (I played it for like an hour and loved it so much I had to have it on my phone too) if you have an android phone there are many emulators that can emulate multiple game systems, I have Retroarch, you have to download the "core" (it's the first option in the application) that says Turbografx, and then you have to put the syscard3.pce file somewhere on your phone too to play the game, I don't think it has to be in any specific folder.

>>177059Given the scarcity of GPUs right now I think this will be useful for you :
https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/gpu-compareSince any GPU recommended in this thread might be out of stock where you live, your best bet is to find a GPU -not- out of stock that can run at least genshin (your most demanding game) on minimum recs, as it then should be able to run everything else you play. Of course do check beforehand that it's actually compatible with your motherboard and CPU, and if you haven't already, that you've got enough RAM to run everything (you'll need 8GB at least).
Genshin Impact at 60 fps on a $100 GPU is imo overoptimistic, at least for the next 5 years, but you can always get a lucky find. It's however a reasonable expectation for all the other games you play

New war..was really underwhelming storywise for me (not gonna spoil just in case you wanna stay surprised) but I loved the visuals. I was annoyed with the stealthy parts myself because it was boring and some of the bonus objectives reset when I died to fall damage lol.
>>177990Oh yeah we always do radshares for the rare/uncommon bits. I feel like we have the best luck with them on top of the extra chances of getting the rares.

I bought a cheap copy of Harvest Moon DS the other day and I'm not sure what to do or where to start with it. I managed to get the credits 5 minutes in by accidentally letting the mayor be eaten by my fucking dog at the very beginning of the game, and after that I decided to finish games I already started before that one. Does anyone here have advice or know useful online guides?

>>178600I love how it incorporates the cozy homestead aspects of Harvest Moon with typical action RPG components. I know some other games do this too but it just feels more complete, because there's actually an overarching story/campaign and "improve the town" is not the entirety of the plot. Another big one is the monsters. You don't just have farm animals but get to ride, tame and fight with cute and cool monsters you gather from the adventuring. I like the dating sim aspects too, a lot of typical otome have very young-ish looking characters that's just anime styling for you. I would say most of the upcoming RF5 bachelors at least look like adults with the exception of Cecil. Maybe you're just not into the genre.
No. 178733
>>178250It focuses more on decoration and aesthetics than the actual friendships/bonds with the animals. And I don't think the decorating is even done well! Terraforming is impractical and furniture placing should be more like how it is in the DLC. This really disappointed me because I've always been into Animal Crossing for the actual animals themselves. They were my friends when I had none. But in New Horizons they just feel so empty, so soulless. I don't care for making my island look pretty if I don't care for the animals living on it.
No Nooks updates
ever and worst music in the entire series imo.
That being said of course everyone likes different things so if you find the idea of decorating your own island and making your own outfits fun then you'll probably enjoy it
nonnie.
I actually like the DLC (tho HHD is superior because more actual buildings), but the main game doesn't feel enough like an Animal Crossing game to me.
>>178335>>178596>>178614I totally agree.
Magician's Quest is a blatant Animal Crossing rip off for the DS but it's actually pretty good. It shakes up the formula a bit by having you go to a magic school with all the creatures. I recommend it to any anon who misses the feel of the older AC games. I really like the school setting in the game.
>>178600It has a ton of content and I really like almost all of the characters. There's so much to do in the game and a lot of the things in it appeal very much to my autism like the weirdly in-depth crafting system. It's a superior Harvest Moon in almost every way but animal care to me. Maybe it's just not for you nonna.
>>178690It's nice that they're giving us a wider age range of characters now. I wish the bachelorettes got some too. The only mature looking bachelorette is Alicia from RF2 and she's worst girl anyway. I'm so excited for 5 and happy gay marriage is finally a thing.

>>178733Hard agree on your point about the music. It sounds like it's bored of itself and feels really empty and uninspired compared to the older games.
The fact that they've somehow managed to weasel their way out of having to upgrade Nook's is insane to me. Upgrading the store has been a huge part of the series. That they'd just abandon that element now is so weird.
>>178746The blandness of the characters really killed the game for me. The animals just feel like living decorations there to roam around your kawaii cottagecore aesthetic island. I miss all the nasty things they used to say.

I started Animal Parade and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I miss the 2D sprites, the town feels confusing to navigate, your character walks too slow (though I know you can ride animals later on), I don't like the lack of camera control and I don't like any of the bachelors, but I also don't want to play as a guy just to marry the bachelorettes who seem overall better to me. Chase is cute but kinda rude. I assume it's something that takes a while to git good? The animals are insanely cute though, especially the cows. I was tempted to name my farm Lolcow kek.

The town will get easier to navigate as you get used to it and the walking speed is good for the amount of alloted time you get in a day. Plus there are so many cute clothing options and this is the only HM where you have a variety of pets this wide. Give it a little longer! Chase seems to be one of the most popular bachelors but he's not my taste personally. No one captured my heart like Wizard and sometimes I go back just to romance him all over again.

I'm going to put Amnesia: Machine for Pigs playthrough again while I'm trying to fall asleep.
This playthrough I'm watching is non commentary but the LPer does pause when reading the documents and letters, stopping to check the environment instead of rushing ahead. It's always comforting for me to watch. the voice acting and sound design are just inherently incredible to me. I get emotional everytime it gets to the ending where the machine begging Mandus to not destroy it, follows with a fizzling sound that almost sounds like a sniffle/sobbing, but clearly a sound that you hear from a steampunk train. This game sound design is smart as fuck and the voice acting direction in combination just invokes something indescribable in me.
And the story, I'm still trying to find the words to describe how I feel about it.
As someone who lives with depression for over a decade, and having my mental health tremendously set back due to covid, the hopelessness in this game resounds the emptiness/loneliness I always have. The need to end all despair because it hurts to see everything you hold dear will eventually get robbed from you just like how Mandus witnessed the two World Wars and saw the deaths of his children in the future. I love that the ending is grim but a hopeful message that we can still believe in people, the twenty first century we live in still have people fighting for injustice, for humanity's sake, for the fibers of our existence. We live in Horrors, and We will not become Pigs
I'm emotional again and just going to soak this in as I click replay on this youtube LP. Ugh, I love a good art game.

Fortunately when it first released I didn't pay much attention to the receptions. Only recently when I listened to a video essayist included a short clip of the game's voice acting I got emotional again and decided to rewatch it.

It's a walking sim where you find yoursef in this village where one day everyone just disappeared; and as you go you get to discover little snippets of the stories of people who lived there and what they've experienced. Very touching and strangely beautiful insight into how one would face their own final moments.

>>179659I played LISA the painful a few years ago (I think it was before Undertale). The general feeling I got from it was sheer masochistic- You get punished in every action you take. It's not the kind of dialogue tree in Telltales where all choices have one result (aka your choice doesn't matter). Because the choices you make in LISA does interfere with the gameplay mechanic and progression. For me it's a really smart game design, however the game has squeezed out a sense of Dread until the end rather than a good cry.
For recommendation, I know this game has gone under some controversy
real people were serious involved and not the kind of petty "omocat is a scammer and her friends are schizo" like Omori development, just don't look up too muchNight in the Woods is a go-to for a tear-jerker game. It's still American-centric but the characters' struggle is universal to millennial players.

I'm going PC because I'm sorta looking forward to Starfield as an open world space game. And Obsidion teased a sequal to Outer Worlds. While Playstation has Deathloop which is also on PC. And Death Stranding eventually got ported so any further Kojima games will probably be on PC too.

A game I want comes out 3 days earlier in US than in EU, and I don't want to wait 3 days to play muh precious vidya when I'm already wanting to play it right now.
I'm trying to look into it and it seems needlessly complicated to me. I don't see why EU has to wait 3 more days anyway when the EU and US versions are identical.

Finally got around to finishing DGS2. I enjoyed it, but I did have some mixed feelings. DGS1 is a setup for DGS2, but I don't think that justifies how bad some of the stuff in that game was the sequence of events leading to Asogi's amnesia and how easy it was.
DGS2 picked up a lot, but the pacing of case 4 and 5 bugged me. The culprits of all the mysteries are obvious Jigoku shows up out of nowhere with a suitcase that looks as though it was designed for the sole purpose of trafficking corpses and loudly announces that he didn't have to get his luggage checked at the border, the Professor had to be a rich Englishman because of the collar, Stronghart is just Gant, and there are only two characters in the entire game with turquoise eyes. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing since it's common in Ace Attorney games to know who the culprit is going into the trial. The problem is that Naruhodo flounders around in circles not really making any progress through case 4, and then in case 5 everything gets solved back to back without giving any of the revelations time to breathe. Also, fuck that stupid hologram twist.

>>181109Are you the anon who played at the same time as I did?
About Asogi, I kind of agree that the whole amnesia thing was a bit too much for me, but I've read that Asogi being present in DGS2 wasn't planned at first and he was included here because he was the most popular character of the first game when it was released in Japan only so that explains it. I wonder how 1-2 would have been if him surviving was actually planned every since DGS1's development. I didn't mind anything you mentioned otherwise except the hologram shit too. I loved all the implications that Sherlock was pretending to be retarded ever since the beginning, it's more like the way it was presented that bothered me. It was a bit too good to be true coming from an idiot who doesn't even bother getting patents for his inventions. I wish something more subtle was used like with the really cute cellphones but video games are mostly a visual medium and the dialogs aren't voiced except for some very specific lines and cutscenes so everyone hearing him because of some kind of telephone like system wouldn't have been as impactful. I liked that despite Iris' status as a child genius it wasn't really that relevant and her having a phd was just a red herring for Mikotoba being the "real" Watson, since she acts like a child during both games. By the way, I didn't even notice the eye color because I played on handled mode all the time but I somehow managed to guess that Klint was Iris' father at the beginning or at the middle of case 5 before it was even relevant but I don't even remember how exactly besides the relevant dates being mentioned over and over again, but I was shocked I was correct.Also, unpopular opinion but
Jigoku looks kinda hot in that suit. I swear I'm not into old men though. We need an AAI like prequel with Sherlock and
Mikotoba now.

I'd imagine it's the kind of accident that either cause immediate death or just hurts you a little and you'd be able to get up less than a minute later with no in-between but what do I know.I also started suspecting him in the last case in DGS1 when the blond pretty boy whose real name I forgot showed up in the shop. It seemed he was bullshitting on purpose. DGS2 made it a bit more obvious, especially when he says himself that anti-gravity devices don't exist, while still insisting on explain his shitty hypothesis. The scene with the floating furniture looked really cool though, the games used 3D way better than DD and SoJ. I guess I just suspected him of having other kind of goals, especially since the big plot twist in DD. The way his real goals was presented was really amazing though, I love him.Beating this game a few weeks ago really made me want to replay the entire series. DGS1 and 2 had a few flaws but they're definitely not as horrible and disappointing as in SoJ so it almost gives me hope for an eventual AA7 despite

>>181146Also stuff like 'why didn't she wear the disguise when she visited Kazuma?' 'why didn't she just ask one of the crew members to get her cat back for her since she was supposed to be laying low?' 'how did he manage to grab her earring if he was pushed from behind?' 'why go to the risk of drugging an entire cruise liner of people on the off chance one of them would notice a small boat sailing up alongside them and be suspicious enough to investigate?' (in fairness this one can be answered by 'the crew are stupid'). I'm willing to be a little more forgiving about his head injury since the autopsy report was revealed to be forged so we don't really know anything about the actual state of him immediately post-bedpost, and they could have just used his headband and hair to hide the external wound for the photo.
With Sherlock, what I noticed was he always understood what Ryunosuke was saying instantly and never seemed surprised or defensive. He could pick up the thread smoothly whenever Ryunosuke corrected him, like he already knew how it was all going to play out. Sometimes he'd stick to his guns about the second part of his hypothesis even if it no longer made any sense because Ryunosuke had changed the first part. It's easy to get swept up in the flow of the dance of deduction parts because of how 'video-gamey' they are, but if you think of how it would flow as normal dialogue you can kind of see what's really going on. Everything else about him was a mystery to me though, most of the reveals with him actually surprised me.It's hard to explain, but DGS2 felt much more like the original AA trilogy than the second trilogy did (I mean AA4-6), despite not having any characters in common. It's a great adventure game, my only complaints are pretty minor issues with the pacing and certain plot details.
If they make an AA7 I hope they find a way to keep the séance mechanic, it's one of the few things I really remember from AA6. It's basically just a better implemented version of the security camera mechanic from AA1-6, so it's not like they'd necessarily need a supernatural character for it to work.
No. 181182
>>181179Everything can be answered by this: the ballerina was absolutely retarded. Literally room temperature IQ. I 100% agree with you, DGS1 and 2 really have the same vibe as the trilogy, it's obvious Shu Takumi was left to his own device. AA4 was great because it was a nice change from the trilogy, the atmosphere was way more heavy and depressing and
the fact that the story makes it pretty obvious that Apollo and Klavier kept being manipulated by everyone around them for other people's benefit was very interesting, the only real problem is that some parts of the story feel incomplete because of shitty deadlines during the game's development. DGS feels like what AA5 should have been if not for Yamazaki becoming the writer for AA5 and AA6, given the focus on the jury system as part of the gameplay
and not just as a part of the story, Barok's backstory
which is very similar to Klavier's role compared to their respective big brothers, etc.
I still enjoyed AA5 and 6 despite some glaring problems until
the last two cases in AA6 and Apollo's shitty new backstory and him staying in not!India for no good reason. Yamazaki just put as many shitty plot twists as possible for the sake of meme plot twists, not to tell an actually good story, but he fucked off from Capcom, which is why I'm kind of hopeful.

Nothing about Khurain feels like a real country, everything's way too extra to come across like a functioning society. It comes across physically too small for a country as well, I guess because we only see a few locations and they're all close to each-other. I know you have to suspend your disbelief for games like this, but it's hard to give a shit about the stakes when they've gone this far beyond believability. It becomes about this children's cartoon political conflict rather than about the people and their internal conflict.

Pokémon Legends Arceus is pretty damn fun nonnas.
I haven't enjoyed a Pokémon game since XY (besides the new Pokémon snap, that's very fun.) It really does feel like a breath of fresh air and I like the new mechanics it's introduced. It definitely has more of an emphasis on the 'catch them all' aspect of Pokémon rather than the 'beat all the gym leaders, elite 4 and then the champion' which I prefer.
If you have the money to spare or are a pirate I recommend it.

In this game the same happens, only with political leanings, the MC can become a communist, a fascist or a pacifist depending on your choices. There's no antiwork narrative and it doesn't try to shove down any sort of political agenda down your throat.

It's a shame that a lot of scrotes like it for the wrong reasons, especially since the game is quite self-aware when referencing politics. Of course it's not surprising that it would attract the cringey redditbro crowd, since those Chapo guys voiced a few characters in the first version of the game.

The mystery aspect is good too. As

>A game about taking care of a mentally unstable girl….Intriguing and cool gameplay, do give this game a try!I know that the song lyrics are supposed to be about the relationship between the streamer and the viewer, but of course, they also address the gamer.
I would love it if the game was written with women in mind and from heroine's POV. I hate that is some 'your very own mentally ill cutie to own and abuse' scrote shit. Don't tell me it isn't part of the appeal. Fuck off, I don't want scrotes jerking off to my miserable existence. Though who am I kidding, they've been doing that to mentally ill women for centuries while locking them up for easy access and control.
At least I'm wise enough to find the scrote fantasy part of the game disgusting and not 'ugh I wish someone would take care of and love me like this'. I'm probably still gonna pirate it and complain here because I want to form my opinion on it.

Idk if anyone here is into Pokemon G/S/C but there's a rom I've been playing lately that's super comfy called Pokemon Crystal Clear. It's a Crystal hack that turns the game into a free-roaming one, lets you choose an avatar and customize its colors, explore new areas, have a Pokemon follow you, among many other things. It's also got a chaining feature that makes it easier to catch shinies. It's also got (IMO the best feature) hidden "palettes" for Pokemon, based on their IVs and the nickname you give them. So like you catch a Vulpix with certain IVs and name it "Snowy", it becomes a pale icy blue color. I fucking love this hack, it's so fun and relaxing.

Maybe too obvious but all of the Final Fantasy games are pretty great. If you want girls only then there's X-2. They do have sexy outfits depending on which classes/dress spheres you're using but I can't think of anything coomerish in the story itself.

Prism allows you to do something you typically never could do in the mainline Pokémon games: play as the Pokémon themselves. In the first segment of the game you come across your starter a Rock/Ground Larvitar and navigate a cave as it until you eventually keep it permanently. There a few more parts of this game where you get to play as Pokémon. You’ll battle wild Pokémon, talk to other Pokémon and solve puzzles. They offer a nice change of pace from entering towns, fighting the gym leader and fighting trainers on routes, but there is one part that involves Magikarp in which I found frustrating.>As a hack of Pokémon Crystal, considerable changes have been made. Aside from the obvious map layout, as mentioned in the introduction, mechanics and Pokémon have been added from later generations. One of the notable ones is character customization introduced in Pokémon X & Y. When starting the game you get to choose your gender, skin tone and hairstyle. The color of the hair and clothes can be changed, but are linked together. They look funny in the sprites, but there are more skin tone options in Prism than in Pokémon Sun & Moon. >A cool addition, in my opinion is the orphanage which allows you to donate Pokémon for points and you can use those points to adopt a Pokémon that you can’t get in the wild. https://hardcoregamer.com/features/articles/opinion/is-pokemon-prism-worth-playing/247574/ No. 184282

>>184263That's so cool! I love how you can play as a pokemon too. I will try that out too. I downloaded Pokemon Crystal Clear but then I realized I miss the beautiful graphics of Pokemon R/S/E, so I looked for hacks for those games, and I downloaded Pokemon ROWE; I love it so far, I think the pokemon level depends on how many badges you have so you can go anywhere you want in any order; also
>you can just jump into a body of water and start surfing (no need for a pokemon with surf or a textbox asking you if you want to surf) >you can fly if you have a flying type pokemon with you>your pokemon can follow you around (some of them) >you can change your pokemon's nickname at the pokecenter>you can see in their stats screen how much they like you>in battle your moves are colored depending in whether they're effective or not>you can turn off EV and IVs>there's a guy who will trade your pokemon back to you so you can evolve pokemon who evolve by trading>(this is important) the nurse at the pokecenter just says let me heal your pokemon and bows when she is done. No need to press A 5 times. And there's so many pokemon!! I've never seen some of the new ones, I feel like a kid again. I caught a Rockruff, it's so cute and strong. So far I have encountered just a few graphics glitches, like there seem to be ghosts of sprites floating in a tile sometimes.

Ever since I beat DGS2 at the end of December I didn't really play any other video game, I guess I was too shocked by how good DGS was to be motivated to move on? I'm still thinking about how fun and amazing it was. I started Ace Attorney Investigations because I never played it before but in more than a month I'm still at the beginning of the second case. I've seen so much spoiler on tumblr like a decade ago that I'm already losing interest because I still remember who killed who and why.

What's your thoughts on Omori?
Just finished playing this game and thought the Dreamworld sequences were the only redeemable part of the game. The rest but especially the ending feels like gen Z 2deep4me bait. It's like this game was made for 14 year olds. Hated the ending so much it made me regret not just playing the hikki route and ignoring those stupid ass kids.
No. 185555
>>185293I understand how many people interpret the story as a meaningless revenge story that doesn't close in a sensible way. For me, I felt the story worked well as a story of grief, love, trauma, and growing pains. The worst part of the story was the insane amount of off screen travel and the fact that Ellie's inner turmoil is almost entirely subtext (Abby's is too but not to the same degree). This worked great for a lot of people, but for a whole lot of other people, it's too subtle and makes the message and themes of the game confusing. So I think the game could have benefited from more dialogue from Ellie, let us hear what she's thinking and feeling instead of interpreting it through subtle acting and relying on player empathy.
Despite this, TLOU2 still worked for me and I was really emotionally affected by it. I totally understand why it's so divisive though. At the end of the day at least the game is fun to play.

No. 185641
>>185605Nayrt but I felt the same anon. I really liked TLoU2 and I thought Abby surprisingly became a really good character by the end. Playing Ellie felt like playing Joel again at the end of the first game, I was going on but
I didn't want to kill Abby, I just wanted her to be happy. As another anon said, the characterization of the two of them is done very subtly but it resonated a lot with me too. I thought the ending was good, it made sense narratively and it mirrored the first game well, I thought the destructive nature of revenge was really well addressed.
No. 185689
>>185549I liked it. It's nothing amazing but it's definitely charming. I like character focused stories, 'coming of age' type things where there's a timeskip, the comparisons between the real world and dream world (though I felt sometimes like the dream segments had bad pacing). I really love MARI and HERO!
I cried whilst going through the photo book that had MARI's pictures that AUBREY returned. She didn't deserve to die, and the rest didn't deserve to be led into believing it was a suicide, even though I know BASIL had his fucked up reasons.If the team ever comes out with another game, I'll absolutely take a look at it.
No. 185715
>>185689I guess if you enjoy coming of age type stories this game probably ticks all the right boxes. Though I didn't expect the game to be so extremely american and I guess the disconnect prevented me from feeling genuinely invested in this game.
Now I don't know about you but I thought the ending was absolute bullshit, even if it made sense in the overall "overcoming trauma and forgiving yourself" narrative. Sunny murdered his sister (even if you interpret it as an accident, he still put hands on her and killed her) and then with help from Basil, disguised the horrific murder as a suicide for four years. This destroyed all the lives of the people around him as you can see in the game. Revealing the truth to everyone just as they had built back their life would be just as horrifying and destroy their entire lives again in an even worse manner.
I felt like the game didn't tackle this implication or the weight of Sunny's actions at all. The "trust that your friends will forgive you" and "we will still love you even if you tell us the truth" messages really rubbed me the wrong way. Towards the end, the game curiously lacks empathy for everyone else despite portraying their grief and suffering very well when Mari died. That's why I think it's a game made for 14 year olds - it's exactly the kind of narrow focus with only yourself that teenagers typically have due to their stage in development. Of course to the self-inserters what matters most is if Sunny forgives himself or not. I don't understand what makes people think that what Basil did is as bad as what Sunny did. Basil was just a kid trying to help his low-key sociopathic best friend after witnessing him murder his sister. Sunny's the one that kept the violin in which his sister's head smashed open and the papers he used to mop up her blood inside a box for four years.No hate if you like it, I'm just geniuenly trying to understand the other perspective. How did you feel about the ending?

I love Stella Glow on 3DS but I hate that it's so coomer. So many cute designs going to waste with their character development or endings. The gameplay was slow at the beginning but it's really fun as it opens up and the witches get access to special attacks (that come with battle themes.) If you like games like FF Tactics or Fire Emblem you might like it.
I was reminded of Stella Glow because of the new Triangle Strategy demo. I got roughly 5 hours out of the new prologue demo. There is tons of story, it's ok enough and you get to make some decisions along the way that feel impactful for now. Save data carries over so it's worth a shot if you like those types of games. I think the art style is really pretty too.

I said earlier I wasn't very motivated to beat Ace Attorney Investigations but I went back to it and finished the second case. It doesn't seem to be a very long game and now that I'm more in the mood to play video games in general I think I should be able to beat this one quickly, maybe this weekend or during the next week. I'll alternate between that one and SMT5, which I also went back into recently.
As for the rest of my backlog, it's pic related. I just received my copy of AI Somnium Files yesterday, hopefully I'll enjoy it. I'm thinking about starting that one after AAI and then just playing games from the shortest to the longest ones. I have other games in a separate list because they don't appeal to me right now, what I posted is just what I'm actually interested in.

I find it insane how 4chan scrotes actually fell in love with Ame and missed the whole point of the game, the endings where they get cucked seemed to hurt them the most lol
I personally have mixed feelings about the happy end and the true end. Why did she come back to the internet once everyone abandoned it? Seems like a mixed message. Same with the true ending, yes, she became independent (or just decided to replace the identity of the voice inside her head) but she was still an internet addict. No. 186110
