Posting 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.

As someone cucked by mvci, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo tried to be slick and get it approved through Square-only, until Disney slammed it's foot in the door and told Nintendo they can bring all of "Square Enix's" characters but'll cut funding on KH 4 if even a single Disney character gets in.

Antitribu(my favorite), Clan Quest and Final Nights are all really good and change the game quite a bit. The visual novels are also fun, especially Shadows of New York. Coteries of New York is alright, but it kind of feels like you don't have many real choices to make. The atmosphere, art and music is on point though. There are also text based adventures and a werewolf game but I haven't gotten to them yet.

There isn't any infighting between NPCs. It's basically a dialog focused RPG. The overly satirical world setting is pretty much the whole game. At least go find all the companions first and see if you like any of them. I thought the main plot was so-so but I enjoyed Max and Felix and the self-insert aspect.

Its fun and fast to beat but it has wonky camera angles sometimes when you enter a shop or house etc etc (2010 japanese game style) its your typical hack and slash so its nothing challenging. The character interactions is pretty funny sometimes. The maps and the world is kinda small tho. Don’t expect much variety with the enemies or bosses but I personally enjoyed it.

I'm replaying Disco Elysium for the first time since there was that huge patch a while ago that added voice-acting and goddamn. I don't always sit through all the lines but I'm impressed that all this came and was implemented this well. Sad they changed Cuno's voice out, though.

I love this game, as intolerable as I find the protagonist occasionally. The writing is beautiful, if sometimes overwrought, and thoroughly immerses me in the city of Martinaise and the surrounding world. The writing is so detailed that it genuinely feels like reading compelling history about a real setting. I really do adore so much about this game.

Kitaria anon from last thread here! Have you already finished the game? I just picked it up again and I had some trouble figuring out how to progress (the quest system is a bit awkward). The gameplay is very simplistic and grindy but I don't mind, it's mindless comfort for me after a day at work. It's such a cosy game, I only wish there were cute animal sounds in it to emphasize how cute the animal characters are??

Yeah, I wanted to say that the highs are really high, but the lows also are really low. I think the whole thing will take 6-8 years to be released. I get they have an engine already, but things don't seem to progress fast and the way the plot had so much bloat in FFVIIR, things don't look good. Though maybe I'm wrong, but then making game based on each disc will still take a long time.
So far, the original FFVII has much better storytelling. I'm afraid it will stay like that.

Maybe he'll have learned something in the writing department by now?

Disco Elysium is apparently a special beast that's hard to compare with other games but if you don't mind tactical combat with the RPG, have you tried Shadowrun Dragonfall? It's currently dirt cheap in Steam's Halloween sale.
There are three Shadowrun RPG games in this series. The first is merely alright and I haven't played Hong Kong, the third one.

Yes 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.

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.

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.

The plot is definitely a tedious mess imo, the DLCs don't help much with that. It seems like the key to enjoying FF15 is how well you're able to tune all that out and just vibe along with the characters in that strangely empty world between mandatory plot dumps.

I wouldn’t say it’s as overly complicated and ridiculous as KH, just kinda meh. The real plot to me is the bond that you as the player create with the group of guys you travel the world with.

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. 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

>>173502
I 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.

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.

NTAYRT but interesting video, thanks for sharing 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).

There's a playable character who, ironically enough, who's shirtless but his abs are covered in belts and he looks edgy as fuck but his personality is that he's a stupid chuuni with a cute Kansai accent so he's basically indirectly making fun of the Nomura belts. And he's not designed by Nomura.

I'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.

Ok 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

>>173707
Spoilers 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. 173716

>>173711
I love seeing the members of the jury shit talking each other, it's really fun. As for Sherlock Holmes being public domain… apparently it depends. I've seen a lot of people talk about it ever since DGS1 was announced in 2015 and apparently it kind of is, but to make it short the Arthur Conan Doyle's estate (probably just his grand-grand-grandkids idk) nitpick everything they can to get more £££. I mean, it's like how Lupin 3rd was a popular anime in France long ago but because of the Arsène Lupin franchise not being public domain yet the main character's name was changed to Edgar, but nobody ever gave a shit in Japan because the mangaka and the animation studios knew they weren't going to be prosecuted for any of that shit. I don't know all the technicalities, maybe things aren't applied the same way in different countries even when the people who own the IP know about the characters being reused by unrelated writers and companies? I don't even know.

No. 173723

>>173716
I 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

The journalist did the right thing, he just shouldn't have tried to frame someone. It really annoyed me that he dropped the murder weapon, I wish they'd found a more organic way to introduce the pen into the evidence. I just spent the whole case waiting for the game to let me present the pen's ink chamber, which made it a bit harder to get invested in the case's twists and turns.

There’s some girls-only Discords that you need to verify for in vc. I was in one server for a while that didn’t allow troons to apply since it could be abused by moids. They usually state that in the rules so you can just join a bunch of servers and check do they allow trannies or not.

Ok 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.

I play games of nearly all genres (except sports, tekken-style fighting games, grand strategy) with a bit of focus on western RPGs, which are on average about 50 hours long, but I've finished a lot of games which were about 10 hours long

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

Started playing Disco Elysium finally, it's excellent and it's hard to stop but at the same time I've been depressed for a while now and the themes and general mood of the game really feel like they may be making me worse. Any of you experienced something similar? Not being in a mental state good enough to handle it? I've played many sad games but never felt similar to this one, maybe because it's so bleak and down to earth with it.

I just finished my second replay a couple of days ago.

The second time I played it I was a bit sad as well, but the game feels so familiar, so comforting, and it has so many funny moments.
The music in the game is amazing too and I also feel like I could listen to it for an entire day, it feels sad but also comforting. Like warm sadness.

Yes, there is an anime too, and there are more games, I know there are two games for the Turbografx, and there's one for the playstation and more for other consoles.
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. Yuna's little robot fairy is so cute.

Given the scarcity of GPUs right now I think this will be useful for you :
https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/gpu-compare

Since 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

The crafting in new horizons just completely killed the series. Am I playing DayZ and trying to survive or am I here to relax and talk to my villagers?

I didn't play for long. Plus the bachelors look creepily like children (except the wolfish dude) and I couldn't get into them. If someone can change my view that'd be great bc maybe I can get enjoyment out of the 40 bucks I spent on it that year.

Sorry, I genuinely was triggered because I'm so angry that AC has not reached it's full potential and what imho would be a natural evolution of the series. Imagine Wild World or the GC one but with modern technology and characters. Shit, I'm sure they could throw in more designing etc., just please don't get rid of what made the game special. It was supposed to be a small town life sim, not a designer game…

For me its not the marriage aspect of the game that is appealing. I just love games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley where you look after crops and stuff. The story is very slow paced but there are 3 arcs if I remember correctly; but you don't have to rush through anything you don't want to. I'd say decide what you like best; farming or dungeon exploring (other areas will open up/be more accessible later.) Also realize that everything you do; be it eating,sleeping,going to the bathhouse, etcetc actually increases skills all around. There's also magic tomes you can buy (from a shop that won't be available for awhile) but you can also find them via exploring. I've been finding ways to keep myself entertained with it but its deffo very pick up and put down whenever you want due to how calm of a game it is. It might just not be your cup of tea

I 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

It 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
>>178614
I 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.
>>178600
It 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.
>>178690
It'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.

Hard 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.
>>178746
The 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'm with everyone else about AC, I'm not much of a decorator just once every once in awhile, not this resource gathering.

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.

This is my favorite 3d HM game and I definitely understand where you're coming from anon as I prefer the 2d games and the charm of sprites over 3d models. 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 desperately want to see him in some sort of form in another game. Happy playing!

I think I'll always have a soft spot for DS Cute and it'll probably always be my favourite. Trio of Towns was also pretty good from what I remember and had a lot of content. That's one of the newer ones (and technically Story to Seasons but whatever). FoMT also has a place in my heart. Though I admit I'm much more of a Rune Factory fan overall.
>>178977
I'm still definitely giving it a chance. I've met Wizard but he won't really talk to me until I've gotten the Witch her things which I'm still working on. He's who I'm interested in along with Luke, because Luke is just so nice and friendly. He's really sweet and it's refreshing but I can't tell if I love or hate his dorky flame bandana kek. I've seen a lot of Wizard love and he is definitely intriguing!

No. 179038

My friend is watching that Arcane show on Netflix and I’ve come to the realization that the reason I never got into League of Legends (despite being interested in that type of game) is because it feels so soulless. The lore and characters and world seem like members of a huge corporate think tank sat around one of those long tables and came up with the concepts by saying “Look at Warcraft and Dota, how can we attract that crowd and their wallets?” It’s probably a tinfoil, but that’s just the vibe I get from the whole IP. Oh, and the animation style of this show is super ugly.

Can't really do anything about you thinking the style is ugly, but even if it's not to your personal taste Fortiche did a great job creating some incredibly smooth, detailed and realistic animations. I used to play LoL and couldn't give a shit about the lore back then, but of course it's designed to appeal to the masses, that's what big devs are supposed to do. But the show was honestly pretty engaging. Some of the characters are annoying (Jinx = manic misunderstood female Joker and Jayce = Cro-Magnon looking golden boy) but more so because I dislike those archetypes rather than the writing itself being bad. It sounds like you haven't actually seen any of it so you may still want to give it a shot. It's not a groundbreaking masterpiece obviously but I thought it was entertaining. If the concern about the game is the lore boring you then never fear, it literally has zero bearing on the actual experience of playing a match.

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.

Lisa is a good choice, my personal tearjerker favorite is Everybody's Gone to the Rapture; I feel like it kinda flew under the radar despite both amazing writing and beautiful visuals. 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. I have never experienced a story quite like it before or after so if you like this kind of atmospheric, a bit philosophical kind of stories, this one is a must play

>>179659
I 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 much
Night 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.

Back then when Bethesda was announced being bought by microsoft, there wasn't much panic and (people practically didn't care) since more people are gravitated towards PC ports now.

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.

I find the animation to be technically incredible but I'm not going to watch it. I tried to get into LOL in the past, coincidentally when Jinx was revealed, hate those sorts of games. I can't believe they took her and spun a whole gritty angsty story when she's one of those hyperactive manic crazy-girl characters, it actually made me realize I'm sick of this trend of dark tragic stories that emotionally exhaust their viewers over years to get devotion out of them. Why can't franchises be fun anymore?

I played the very first professor Layton game long ago and I thought it was just OK, but right now after playing TGAA and loving it, I'm in the mood for more adventure games with mysteries to solve. I suck at solving puzzles in Layton compared to Ace Attorney, Hotel Dusk/Room 215 or 999, should I try getting into the professor Layton games on the DS anyway? I feel like this genre is less and less popular these days so it's not like there's a lot of choice when it comes to new games.

What the fuck is up with the DLC packaging for the Steam version of Hitman 3? Intentionally confusing so new players might want buy everything including content they may already own (FYI you don't need to buy the Trilogy edition or access passes if you already own Hitman 1 and 2). Such a shame because I've been waiting an entire year for this and I've heard that it's actually a really good game (at least unless you play VR, which is said to be quite glitchy).

Bravely Default! Good tier music, the characters banter are fun (though occasionally tropey anime crap, but well, jrpg be jrpg). Incredible world building and minor and villain characters are well-rounded. The gameplay is addictive & fun to experiment with different jobs. The ending still got me So emotional.

Never got to play Ni no Kuni nor FF12.
SMT4 is unfortunately the bottom of the list for me, the music is FIRE and the villain in it is one of my fav smt characters, however the experience in general was a chore to go through (story, character banter, tropey craps). It has good replayability, and can be fun to try different builds.

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.

Are 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.

No. 181125

>>181120
Yeah that's me. I didn't really mind amnesia being used as a plot device because it's just something you have to accept in games like this, it's more the sequence of events that led to him hitting his head that bugged me (there are reviews that go into how nonsensical the sequence of events in 1-2 are, so I won't get into it). I was hoping they'd reveal the ballerina was an assassin trying to stage a murder as an accident (maybe in exchange for someone from the reaper network helping her escape).

I always thought Sherlock seemed more like a teacher trying to help his students come to the answer by themselves than someone who actually didn't know what was going on. The final dance of deduction with Sherlock and Mikotoba was one of the best moments in the game. I know it's a steampunk kind of setting, but it bothered me how much modern technology there was. It just felt like a crutch for the writers whenever they wrote themselves into a corner.

I think we did talk about how Kazuma passing out from falling and nearly snapping his neck was kind of weird, without even being an expert in that kind of thing I can't imagine how that shit can work without him being physically injured beyond losing consciousness. Did Sherlock give him CPR or some shit? Would that even work? 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 Apollo's entire characterization being butchered by Yamazaki.

Also 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.

Everything 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.

The sleeping pill thing bugs me way more than it should. You just need one person on this gigantic cruise ship in Victorian times to already be wacked out on booze or opium when they eat dinner and you've got someone dead of an overdose to deal with when you're trying not to draw attention to your ship. Everyone involved in that 'murder' had the IQ of a goldfish.

AA6's plot feels like a fever dream. The main characters are made way too important: they're at the centre of a major revolution in not-India after being there like a week. AA4 is cool despite a wonky case or two, but I still have no idea how the Mason system was supposed to work.

It's not even just that, suddenly we learn that Apollo was involved in that shit since he was a kid because of course he was, and the last case is literally a shitty retelling of the Fey family drama bullshit from the trilogy. Because if cours we have :
-the teenage girl who can channel ghosts in some capacity and who's the heir of her clan
-her older sibling who distanced himself from their fucked up family by getting a law degree
-the greedy piece of shit aunt who has no right to the throne despite being older than her sister because she can't summon spirits
-the actual leader of the clan who's the primary target of the crazy aunt, who goes into hiding from her own two children for her honor and safety
-dead dad who can't really do much about any of this
-the completely unrelated lawyer boy who's an honorary sibling to the teenager girl and her older sibling because of tragic circumstances
-the last case starts because one of the teenage girl's parents dies.


Oh and of course Maya spends her time getting accused of murder and kidnapped so she's back but doesn't do anything fun or interesting unless you get the DLC, and the second case was fun but Trucy also had to be accused of murder just because Yamazaki thinks heroines being accused of murder should be a tradition in the series, because he's retarded and has no imagination whatsoever.

Maya's family feel like something that could plausibly exist within the ace attorney universe, a trashy religious organisation full of backstabbers who seem to think they're above both the law and OSHA. We have those in real life as well, they're just not actually magic. It's a little silly that Maya's mother was still exiled even once Maya had proved she didn't do anything, especially when her aunt had committed murder, Maya had been on trial for murder like three times and Bikini probably had a bunch of guests die of pneumonia at her torture retreat, but whatever.

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. Like in 2-4, it wasn't about getting the international assassin, it was about getting the guy who put Adrian through all that shit. You just kind of feel annoyed that the characters you like have to go through this farce.

I liked the Fey family story, it's just that I dislike how it was straight up plagiarized in AA6. I find the stories that are more personal for the characters or more believable way more interesting than whatever was going on when the writers came up with Khurain. Khurain doesn't feel like a country at all, you're right. DGS did the whole "characters go to a foreign country to learn more about the law" thing way better, and given how often Germany and Borginia are mentioned in the series before that they could have just picked one of these countries. I played AA1 to AA4 in French and they made Klavier be more interested in England than Germany so there's also that country too.

I saw a post on /v/ recently about how AA6 was less about lawyers doing their jobs and solving murder mysteries to protect their clients and more about lawyers superheroes using their lawyer superpowers to save the planet from evil and that's exactly the impression the last cases of AA6 gave me. AA5 wasn't as bad because even with the international super spy thing going on it was still a very personal story for Athena and Blackquill, and I love Blackquill. And even if it was very similar to Ghost Trick it was still a good self-contained story that didn't fuck up Apollo. Actually, I didn't like that thing with Apollo's bff being murdered because how the fuck am I supposed to give a shit about a character who NEVER interacts with Apollo on-screen before his death? Even the short flashback was uninteresting. Clay should have been introduced earlier and interacted with the rest of the cast from time to time before being murdered, it would have been way more impactful. I liked the "filler" cases more in AA5 and AA6 than the main storylines, I don't give a shit if that's an unpopular opinion.

"lawyer superheroes" is a really good way of putting it. That's what I was trying to get at with calling it a children's cartoon political conflict and comparing it to 2-4. DGS benefited a lot from being set in London rather than a made up place because the player can fill in the gaps and using real-world elements like smog, bricked up windows and our god-awful street layouts helps ground the mysteries and the more fantastical elements. Khurain feels like a thought experiment more than a place.

Blackquills great. Agree about Apollo's friend. I think it's tied into them pointlessly making Apollo act mysterious/ edgy in AA5, stuff with him ends up being revealed too late in the game. The spy thing was really dumb, but I liked when you could see his eyes moving behind the mask, it was creepy. I actually agree about the filler cases. I never got why the goofy case with the clown girl got so much hate, it's fun, doesn't outstay its welcome and has Blackquill. The magic show case was enjoyable because of the setting. Would Rite of the Turnabout be considered filler? I wasn't crazy about the filler cases in AA5 because the villains were so lame, but I generally didn't find that game very engaging because of how hand-holdy it was.

Did anyone here play Gnosia? The concept seems interesting, but my god the art looks atrocious, and the problem is that it's more of an adventure or a visual novel so I hesitate a lot. Apparently it has a few non-binary characters too but I've been told it's some localization bullshit again and in the Japanese, original script it's some scifi stuff unrelated to current gender discourses. Should I wait before trying it?

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.

Has anyone played this game? I heard about it in some article and it peaked my interests, but all the steam reviews are rating it positive "because communism" which makes me think its for antiwork reddit scrotes and has cringe dialog.

Yess! You'll like this game if you
>like narrative heavy games (don't mind reading a lot or listening to sometimes long dialogues)
>like RPG elements (XP points, skill building, customizing appearances, etc)


You know how in RPGs your MC can have a neutral, evil and good personality and this can influence your dialogue options among other things? 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.

I personally loved it, especially for the writing and the loveable characters, but there are also other things to love like the beautiful concept art and the soundtrack

No. 182321

>>182311
You can be a fascist in the game too, nonnie. I loved it and I consider it my favorite game ever, although I haven't played that many. The art in the game is beautiful, and so is the music. The story is very well-made. I plan on replaying it for the third time in a few months.
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. You won't have to listen to their horrible voices though, the final cut replaced them.

No. 182323

>>182311
YES, I adored this game and consider it one of my favorites of all time. The theme of identifying with certain politics in dialogue is there but only in a very satirical way, it 100% skewers all of them. That aside, even though you play a middle-aged white dude the story is so, so human and touching and the world is the perfect mix of reality with surrealistic elements. The mystery aspect is good too. As >>182319 said it's heavily dialogue and plot-based so obviously if you're looking for an action game or platformer it's not gonna be your jam, but if you appreciate a good narrative and interesting choices, you'll love it.

It's an amazing game anon, if you like reading, go for it, so, so excellently written.

I kind of want to play it because the idea is interesting and I feel like I may really like the heroine. The opening song makes me hate how scrotey the premise of the game actually is:
>A downer just for you, needy girl
>Break me, love me, forgive me, go crazy
>A memory only showing you/there is no God
>your own 2D girl
also, that random scrote comment
>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.

Can anyone give some recs for Japanese games that have a great female cast? By this I mean they have their own motivations, purpose, and are either mentally or physically strong. I don't even care if their designs are sexy/coomerbait, as long as they aren't actually sexualized by other characters ingame or put in uncomfortable sexual situations (hate this shit). I really like any genre, but action games and simulation games are my favorite. It has to be Japanese because western shit offends me on a physical level (I hate looking at ugly moids, kek)

Drakengard 3. They are sexualized but the game is an exclusively female driven story, the protagonist and antagonists are all women and their drives are not related to men. There are some coomer males but they get made fun of and are basically slaves to the MC. One of my favorite games.

I recall Suikoden III being pretty good about this. Chris (one of the main characters) is a knight captain and basically revered as a hero. Suikoden is known for its huge cast and I can remember quite a few cool women among the companions. In a similar "gotta catch em all" companion game, Radiata Stories was very underrated and has a good female lead/female companions.

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. Actually there is one "massage" mini game with the big boobie villainess that's somewhat suggestive but nothing sexual is actually happening.

>This fan game is a hack of Pokémon Crystal featuring around 252 Pokémon from Gens 1-4 along with Sylveon from Gen 6. It also incorporates elements from post Gen 2 games such as abilities, items and the special split.
>Like many Pokémon games, the story is simple. While in an unknown region, the son/daughter of Champion Lance ends up in the region of Naljo due to an earthquake that splits the trainer up from his/her mother. You then head off the collect the eight badges to challenge the Pokémon League. While this premise is standard and familiar, the journey puts a new spin on the formula. 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.

That'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 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.

I 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.

>>185689
I 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?

About the ending, I actually like to think that Sunny wasn't forgiven, mostly. I can imagine Kel being forgiving, Aubrey probably not, and Hero absolutely not. It's open to interpretation, I guess. I think if Basil was never there then Sunny would have probably never tried to cover up Mari's death and then the rest would know the truth from the beginning.

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 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.

Samefag, forgot to add that since it was written by a guy who got deep into menhera groups it was targeted more at incel guys who develop parasocial relationships with vtubers than young women navigating this online landscape. Some girls from Japan recommended the game to me and they all approached it as self-inserting as Ame, but the story then doesn't give you satisfying answers to your questions.

Currently pirating all my favorite games, no longer paying for games unless I really want to support certain independent developers. From now on I can own physical copies of my games and I have the satisfaction that no one can just take them away from me. DRM also hinders performance and is generally fucking evil.

what a fucking joke I can't believe they have the nerve to sell an almost 20 year old game full price for a CLOUD version

nta, it's all online iirc, that means you need a good internet connection to be able to play these games. I always wanted to try KH but I guess that's not gonna happen because my internet connection at home isn't always very good. No idea what the fuck SE was thinking here.

I'm thinking about pirating old games that are hard to find for cheap, especially on the GBA or DS, at this stage I already completed my collection of physical copies of video games I wanted anyway, except for megaten games on the 3DS since Atlus fucking hates Europe.

yeah essentially you don't get a copy of the game, you stream it, so you need to be online to play which is especially bullshit since it's single player and the only advantage to getting this on the switch is handheld mode which good luck finding a good connection if you like playing on the go. I'm surprised they don't ask for a nintendo online membership too

Since I'm about to complete AAI, where can I download AAI2 and a DS emulator? I want to see for myself if AAI2 is as good as people say or if people have horrible standards, since the writer is the same guy who made this abomination called AA6 and he won't stop on relying on cheap fanservice.

Not sure which emulator is best for this game, but here's the patch thread with instructions: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ace-attorney-investigation-2-prosecutors-path-final-release.367451/
Apparently the download link is down so here's an archived version:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180904052257/https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/rom-hacks/download-aceattorneyinvestigationprosecutorpathbeatpatch-final-v2-f33067.html
My personal recommendation for which emulator to use would be: download DeSmuME or MelonDS, I don't know which of those is the best for this game (NO$GBA is outdated as fuck but idk). Or just RetroArch with a DS core.
For DS ROMs look up no-intro's collection on archive.org, and in "all files" download Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Japan), then follow the instructions to apply the patch.

AAI2:
https://cdromance.com/nds-roms/gyakuten-kenji-2-english-patched/
DS Emulator:
The updated Windows build of Desmume has been blocked for a few weeks and the devs don't seem to have done anything about it:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zeromus/desmume/build/artifacts
I can't find a mirror, so I uploaded the executable I had on my computer to mediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/file/n2bqu06aup6e3si/DeSmuME-VS2019-x64-Release.exe/file
For the linux and mac versions go here: http://desmume.org/download/

If it's running slowly, go to config-> emulation settings, uncheck 'enable advanced bus-level timing' and check 'use dynamic recomplier'. If you're still significantly below 60fps go to config->sound settings and select Dual SPU Synch/Asynch or the game's going to sound like a cat throwing up (you don't need to do this if you're running at normal speed though).

Forgot to mention-to play the game just click on the executable, go to file->open rom and then find and select the .nds file.
