Maybe I just haven't gotten far enough into the story yet. I do find reading the notes and the e-mails to be the most interesting part actually. I guess I'm just not a fan of the gameplay? Which I don't get since it's basically like every other first-person action adventure out there.

I only really play handhelds these days, I had a ps3 but it broke (well technically it was stolen but that's a long story) and I can't afford a new one or a ps4, it's sad. I bought a ps vita basically just to play danganronpa but I don't like the game mechanics, I preferred reading the translation on SA lmao. I got p3p and I'm really enjoying it, but I hate all the level grinding it's so tedious. I realized recently that I hate games that involve fighting/strategy, but they are all I play because I'm a sucker for a good storyline. But I always get frustrated and never finished them or lose the console fma

I got a new 3DS last year, but I've lost it and it makes want to cry every day.

I started playing this recently too anon, the circlejerk over it is hilarious but it really is a fun game. I just wish the female characters weren't so vapid/half naked.

I thought Triss was bland as fuck and it was a weird choice that she could be paired with Geralt considering she says "Ciri is like a sister to me." They are completely different from one another.

Nah it does make sense if you read the books Triss always had a crush on Geralt which is kinda weird tho since Yennefer and her are like best friends so

It has a bit of story told through comics and sometimes events but it's a moba style shooter with no story basically.

I love the fact that Geralt isn't some poor young man that happens to save the world and all that, instead he's a trained professional and is doing his job. The choices are also what made me love the books and games - they aren't just black and white, all of them have more or less bad consequences.

>>1859
>>1860
Same. I also hope they stay true to the books and that there won't be (too much) fan service. I also hope they won't try to milk the franchise to death :/


The only game that I'm actually playing right now is Guild Wars 2 (would recommend) and I adore the game so much. I bought it two years ago, worried what it will be like since it had no trial period, but now it's basically my new "home". What I love the most is that you can't really "fall behind" others, even if you don't play for months. So I don't feel stressed out if I miss a day or two because of work.

I just watch a lot of Let's Plays to get my fill of everything I'm missing. I watch a lot of Vinesauce stuff because I enjoy the nostalgic factor of revisiting older games and bootlegs.

Love that too about Geralt, also he is so awkward sometimes which brings a funny element into the whole thing. I think it can be really hard to do it without over doing it, thus ruining the whole thing.
The books and games captured this weird funny side of him quite well.
That's the main thing I'm worried about when it comes to the Netflix show. I feel like they can fuck Geralt (and with that the show) up if they can't capture this.

The Netflix produced shows I've seen so far are pretty good tho. But I think it would be their first show with a fantasy theme kinda ?
Anyways since there are soo many fans around I think (or hope lol) they will do their best because the pressure will be high

Yes, that too. I hope they don't make him "one -sided" so he ends up being just an ass through the series or just a badass etc.. There are quiet a few characters they can fuck up.

I also wonder how the public will handle it, since there is stuff like racism, sexism etc included. And the books and games aren't exactly popular with non-gamers, as far as I'm aware.

Oh, and apparently there's a movie in the making as well?

Currently playing Mass Effect 2 and this'll probably be an unpopular opinion, but I kinda like the first game better, gameplay-wise. Like, you had a map for pretty much everywhere, mods were a lot of fun to use and collect, the radar was permanently visible and there were a lot more talents/powers available. Not to mention the fact that you didn't need to conserve ammo lol. They also switched controls for the power wheels and aiming/fire which really confused me, but that will probably get better as I play.

Story telling, soundtrack/sound mixing, dialogue and graphics have definitely upgraded though and the SR2 is pretty neat…

I actually only discovered Mass Effect last year, so you can imagine all the stuff I was able to look up and spoil. I'm sad about that, but it's still been a really enjoyable experience so far. yes i vaguely know about the ending, but i honestly think that it isn't too bad. it feels realistic, as realistic as a video game can get lol, but i suppose people don't play games for realism

Even so, I guess I'll have to choose ME2 over ME1 simply because you can romance Garrus.

I've heard that Dragon Age is similar, so that series will be next, but there's so many games, I'm not sure where to start.

another unpopular opinion: MEA was actually playable and even enjoyable at times

I started playing OldSchool RuneScape a few months ago.

I'm an oldfag that's been around since the phat days so I'm no stranger to changes in game mechanics and graphics but holy fuck RS3 is literally unplayable for me. It's trying too hard to be some unholy matrimony of WoW and an uguu Korean MMO. I couldn't even get through the tutorial. Even the founders just up and left the company because it isn't the same anymore.

I like OSRS, it's a lot of fun to do all the old quests, and if you compare some really old ones (Hazeel Cult, Clock Tower, Temple of Ikov, usually around the Ardougne area) to the newer ones with updated game mechanics and graphics it's really nice to see how the game's been progressing over the years, back when quests weren't written by idiots and new content wasn't just endless QoL updates. I'm kind of warming up to Zeah now but it feels so lazy, very little content stretched as far apart as possible to make the area look bigger.

I just wish they had more quests and lore, and that the place wasn't overrun with retarded little kiddies. I also miss the days before the GE, though I understand the need for it.

I read a bunch of people online complaining about it because the quests are a little repetitive and while they're really not as good as origins, they're still fun.

It's a good game, I enjoyed it a lot and spent over 300 hours on it (and still didn't fully explore the desert areas because FUCK they're like a fucking maze)

>>1877
Just play Dragon Age Origins. If you like it, play DA II (I didn't because the gameplay was too action-focused) then Inquisition.

I'm jealous that you can play ME, I used to watch my boyfriend play it because I can't into FPS for shit (was the same with half life) but we broke up before he could play ME3. Do you think you could stream it when you play? I'd like to watch a fellow farmer playing it. Better than some rando youtuber.

I heard a lot of good things about DAI and actually have the original game on Origin, I just have to download and install.

I actually haven't heard anything else about the story/gameplay/fights/quests etc., only about romancing…is the game really a "dating simulator" sort of or can you skip that part completely?
I should give it a try

No. 1883

>>1882
You can skip it completely. Inquisition isn't even like origins, you can only romance one person. (On origins you could literally date everyone and there was even a bisexual elf who fucked you the mine you said "hello")

The gameplay is like an RPG, but you can choose between action and tactical modes, except for DA2 that afaik doesn't have a tactical mode.

The different races and classes are a lot of fun, pick a mage on DAO and get ready for a wild ride

No. 1884

>>1883
Adding to this - On origins and inquisition, you can befriend people (though inquisition got rid of the gifting system, that was a lot of fun) but to romance them you need to choose romancey dialog options, which you can just not do.

The fights are fun, on tactical mode the game is paused and you choose actions for your party that they'll perform once you unpause it. You can select actions for them to perform automatically as well (such as "drink healing potion when health under 25%") and play it action mode.

The lore is pretty nice, as are the million side quests (that often add to the lore)

I'm only playing Japanese video games because it seems Western games are only on consoles I don't own and I can't play anything with my laptop. Right now I'm playing Fire Emblem Fates, I'm almost done with the Revelation DLC but I really don't like it as much as the Birthright and Conquest routes because of the maps. I have a bunch of games I never finished or never even played, it'll keep me busy during the summer holidays. I'll focus on Pokémon Sun next. Not directly related but goddamn, the FE fanbase is absolute shit. I never got to play the games before Awakening because I was young and couldn't buy the games I wanted and I didn't have a GBA at the time, not because I want to fuck Tharja or something.

>>1853
Etrian Odyssey seems interesting, especially because it's cheap on the nintendo eshop, but at the same time I'm not sure I'll like it because I've had issues with Persona Q and I've been told it's basically Etrian Odyssay with Persona 3 and 4 characters.

>>1861
I likes DR1 a lot even though I've seen a bunch of spoilers before playing it, but I'm halfway through the second game and I really don't like it as much, I'm not attached to the characters as much and the humor is a bit to over the top for me this time. I'm hesitating getting V3 later, for once I've never seen spoilers on this game.

Also:
>I got p3p and I'm really enjoying it, but I hate all the level grinding it's so tedious.
You shouldn't need to level grind in this game, unless you're playing on hard or higher difficulty. You're probably doing something wrong.

Apparently DONTNOD is planning o making a LiS 2 soon, i am seriously excited to see where they'll go with it, it'd be interesting to change the time mechanics for another power and change the characters up a little.
The ending to the first, i think, really closed the story off Max rather well (eventhough it was a shit ending), so i'd hope to see new characters.

>>1872
Oh man, same about Guild Wars 2. Started a week ago and i'm hooked. If you'd told me i'd be considering buying an expansion for a mmo i'd never had believed you, but it is seriously such an enjoyable online game. I am currently trying to find a guild because i am a ranger (not bearbow tho kek) and i read in the subreddit that i am doomed if i try to do anything with PUGs so r.i.p.
The community seems pretty great and the game system is very fair for all players with level scalling and not overly P2W.

>>1885
P5 is absoultely amazing, but it really requieres a lot of time, i'm still in the futaba dungeon because i've not been able to play much recently.
It controls very smoothly, the music is absolutely fantastic and the characters are trope-y but loveable. The only thing that bothers me is morgana constant whining about going to sleep for the most trivial things i swear to god that fucking cat.

>>1880
I liked it, mostly for the characters, didn't really like the gameplay too much tbh.
Can't wait to play the new one, if it's set in tevinter i hope it returns to a more darker style. Inquisition felt too "goody two shoes" for my taste. I just wanted to be a dictator blood mage that led the inquistion to be an evil force god damn it.
I also hope they make the worlds smaller, but more important to the story and learn from the many mistakes of MEA. also that they bring Zevran, Sten and Fenris back in actual cameos. Especially Zevran, waht they did to him on inquistion is inexcusable.

For Mass Effect, you could try setting it on narrative mode, it's very easy as a shooter in that difficulty (especially 2 and 3, 1 is just a little clunky). ME3 has a mode where the enemies are basically paper so you can get right through the story, but most of that story is told on never on sale DLCs which sucks ass.

The main quests aren't all that fun…like at all (except for maybe Tranquility Lane). Breaks my heart a bit, too since I remember FO3 being one of my favourite games at one point.

would you recommend the older SMT games to someone who's more into the newer ones? i find the old-school rpg graphics really off-putting, but if the plot is decent then maybe i'll give it a go. is there anything in particular you like about the earlier smt titles compared to the newer ones, or is it just the general old rpg vibe that you prefer?

>>1886
same on not having played strange journey and wanting SMT1/2 remakes. i've heard SJ isn't the greatest game, and i've been putting off playing it for years, but maybe the remake will make it a little bit better?

also, i'd recommend P2 Eternal Punishment if you've already played Innocent Sin. it's p good and i like most o the main characters in EP a lot more than the ones in IS and the storyline is slightly better imo

i'm so excited for LiS 2!!! agreed on the ending being shitty (although i liked that Chloe and Max got to have a proper kiss and Nathan got a minor redemption arc, even if he was dead by the time it happened lmao). definitely curious about how they'll change the mechanics up to keep the game exciting, but i'm more intrigued by them having an entirely new set of characters. obviously it makes sense, but i'm gonna really miss some of the old characters; I just hope they newer ones aren't as meme-y and cliche as some of the minor characters in the last game.

Heh, i was one of the few who prefred Max + Warren so i was more excited for theirs more than the chloe one, (i didn't particularly like chloe and max, felt like ever since chloe came back into max's life she fucked it up because of being overly selfish and childish, kinda felt the relationship would be a bad step for Max if chloe didn't learn how to deal with herself.)

Out of all of them Nathan was my favourite character and i would have loved a bigger expansion of his personality and backstory. It was very tragic how everyone around him used him and it absolutely destroyed him. I felt pity for him as soon as everything was unraveled. Finding out what his dad did or what a certain professor used him for, all the while he did it because he had no direction in life, just crushed me. I really would have hoped that maybe Max could've become closer to him, so he could have a friend who was not looking for anything other more than friendship with him, someone who he could rely on.
He is really a great character, not bad, not great, just fucked up because of his enviorment.
Would love to play a character like Nathan on the sequel.

I really want to play P2 Eternal Punishment because I liked how the main characters where introduced in Innocent Sin and I love Maya, but it's not available on the European PSN and I can't emulate anything on my laptop because it's a piece of junk that can barely make microsoft office work. I'll definitely try it one day though, I just don't know when.

As for Strange Journey, I think what some people found off-putting was that the press turn mechanism was replaced by something else that has to do with your party members' alignments to deal extra damage to your enemy, but I'm not sure anymore. I only played it for 2min to see if my cartridge worked so I can't say for sure if that's the case. I heard some of the final bosses are really tedious too but that might be people exaggerating how megaten is difficult in general, idk.

Chose Makoto in the first play but too be honest when Haru came I lost it. I love her English voice so much and all in all she is a cutie.
In general the English voice cast did an amazing job (except for pronouncing names but whatever)
Right now I'm turned the japanese voices on to compare it.

Strange Journey is difficult for a JRPG but it's a lot like the old-school SMT games with upgrades that make it less frustrating, like having a base and dungeon maps. Some people were really put off by the first-person layout but every other game pre-IV is like that too (including Nocturne, it's available as a bonus when you beat the game).

>>1891
I think you should try SJ or Nocturne, the stories aren't linear but I like how different their atmospheres are compared to other JRPGs. Instead of it being about camaraderie and adventure there's a feeling of the protaganist being trapped alone in these bizarre worlds where everyone has a hidden agenda. If you haven't played it yet Digital Devil Saga is also a good not really SMT but fairly similar game.

I haven't tried Soul Hackers yet but it doesn't seem like there's much talk about that one. Did anyone here play it?

I was playing Soul Hackers some months ago and while it's pretty fun overall, I haven't finished it yet because I got sick of enemies spamming mudola on the MC, I got busy with college and just bought FE Fates at the time too. I'll beat it soon I think, once I beat FE Fates Revelation.

The gameplay is fairly simple because there's no press turn but you have to be careful with your demons, they do what they want sometimes depending on their personalities so you either let them do what they want, give them instructions during battles and hope for the best, or you use items on them to change their personalities. The story is a bit over the top but that's part of the fun, I like it a lot. I'm expected Hitomi to be the boring female sidekick but I love her as much as I like Nemissa. You explore the dungeons in 1st person view and everything is pretty fast-paced, exploring dungeons legit made me dizzy sometimes. By the way, I've bee told that playing at the casino grants you a bunch of OP weapons but I'm so shit at the mini games that I never got any of these weapons. But maybe these advice could be useful to you if you decide to play it.

Suikoden 1 & 2 are my favorite games of all time. If you like classic JRPGs play this series (you can stop at Suiko 3).

Anyone else enjoying Zelda BOTW? It's so huge. I'm 130 hours into it and I'm still discovering new areas. My only complaint is a lack of a real temple. The Shrines and the Divine Beasts are neat but a classic temple would have made this game perfect. Maybe with DLC.

I really need to pick this up again. I love Makoto so much.

I bought Andromeda. Beat it a few weeks ago. I don't plan on replaying it until DLCs and more patches come out though. It doesn't feel as replay-able to me as Dragon Age Inquisition.

Mass Effect is my absolute favorite series. I love Andromeda, but it needs some TLC before it can feel like a "complete" game.

I'm currently on my 3rd Dragon Age Inquisition playthrough and I love it just as much as the first two times. I'm skipping most of the fetch quests which makes the pacing better. I bought all the DLC as well so I'm excited to play those for the first time.

i like to call strange journey 'suicide journey' but if you want an intensely brutal and depressing game, it's wonderful. nocturne is HANDS DOWN my favorite though, but IV and apocalypse are both excellent. devil survivor is wonderful too, but i think 1 is better than 2.

THERE IS A STRANGE JOURNEY REMAKE COMING OUT! it's called deep strange journey. actual play isn't getting changed much, but upgraded cutscenes, a shitton of new demons, and some new storylines.

I think Andromeda got way too much hate for its poor characterization but like I just played ME1 for the first time in ages and it feels so much like Andromeda story wise, clearly both the games were building up to bigger things and I think too many people compared MEA to the original trilogy as a whole and that's not really fair.

Personally I love Andromeda, it was amazingly fun, I'm on my third play-through but I'm waiting for the update where you can customize your character more before I play for a 4th time.

I tend to play really long games and i am a bit of a completionist, so depending on the game… maybe around 60+ hours for rpgs and around 80+ hours for JRPGs.

I tend to play around 2-6 hours a day, unless i have to study, so it takes me a while to beat any game. Especially now that i am supposed to be a "responsable adult".
I don't know if it's because i am getting old but games also don't hold my focus as much anymore, i tend to get bored if i play more than a few hours, or get overwhelmed and stop playing if they are too long.
(>started playing witcher 3, 120 hours and still not out of skellige because completionist shit, never touched it again because i was burned out.

I enjoyed BOTW a lot the first ~50 hours. I kinda grew more and more disappointed after that, because the game feels so empty and way too easy (the divine beasts especially). There's not much besides puzzles and while they're fun, the story and quests are so lacking. There's only a handful of quests that were satisfying/memorable/hard, all stables and villages pretty much have the same NPCs/meaningless quests, you're alone most of the time (as opposed to having midna or navi), etc. I'm really sad about it.

I wish the quests were more like other open worlds' (Witcher, DA, Bethesda etc), where you're more invested because of the story and stakes. Or even just more like previous zelda's quests. Now it's almost only "go get this / do this because you have to". It desperately needs an after-game too. But still totally worth playing. Hopefully the next one will be a real 10.

No. 1918

>>1917
Bloodborne and Dark Souls have different fighting styles. They're both eye-wateringly difficult, but with Bloodborne you have to go all out in combat because of how the rally thing works and avoid attacks with careful positioning/manoeuvres. In souls you can kinda bait them out, block their attack and then wreck them. It's a lot easier to be passive, but it still has its fair share of instakills.

No. 1919

>>1917
>>1918
I've only played Bloodborne, though I did grab Dark Souls after I played it. It's sitting around somewhere…

Anyways, anon is right about BB's play style. You've got to be quick and aggressive. But once you get the timing down for parries and visceral attacks you'll have a much easier time going through.

For the first boss are you talking about Gascoigne or Cleric Beast? Both can be parried, you just have to shoot them before they attack. Watch closely a few times for their attack pattern and you'll get it. Cleric Beast is also weak against fire so if you have fire paper or some molotovs you can use them. As a bonus, you can even summon Gascoigne to help you in the fight against Cleric Beast with an Old Hunter's Bell.

For the most part you can get through with good timing, knowing weaknesses of the mobs, and wearing the right gear. But you will die, a lot and often. It's just part of FromSoftware's thing, all their games are fucking hard. I think the visuals alone are worth it though.

I've been seeing a lot of positive reviews on it but i'm not sure if i'll bite the bullet on buying it since I've never played any games of the franchise and i don't know what to expect.

Is it any fun playing it alone?
Is it more like Skyrim (open world, story all over the place, you do you) or like Dragon Age: Origins (semi open world, kinda-linear good story, side quests that do not detract from main story)?

I am SO excited for it. I never owned the game (a friend did and she gave it to me for a few weeks) I played it so manye times and I'm still shocked that it was never that popular.
I hope it will get more fans through the remake honestly it's one of the best games that I have ever played. The Art is so gorgeous and story wise it's really good too.

My father plays it, so I know some bits:

The maps are mostly like in DAO, but a bit big (from what I've seen) and the quest often tie into each other (like skyrim, I guess, eg. help person a in town a, later go to town b and person b happens to know a and offers you a quest/dialog etc). I guess it could be compared to DAO but it looks way more story and lore heavy, with a shit ton of details.

It's one of those "heavy" rpgs tbh, but I'd really recommend it if your into exploring and reading.

D:OS is nothing like dragon age or skyrim. Combat is strategic and turn based and the enemies don't respawn. The game is split between acts and each act has a large map that you can explore however you want, unless higher lvl enemies kill you, although most times you can get around them if you're smart enough.
You can solve every quest in different ways and there are no quests like "help x npc" or "gather x ingredients". Some side quests are connected to the main quests and some aren't. So i guess depth-wise you could compare it more to the witcher 3. (but it's still much more complex because you have multiple, potentially custom characters and the witcher only has one)
Also, everything happens in text. There are no cinematics. Don't play it if you don't like reading.
Sorry if you already know all that, but since you only mentioned skyrim and dragon age instead of other rpgs with many more similarities i feel like you don't have a lot of experience in the genre.

Thank you guys!
Story heavy, lore heavy and very text heavy RPGs are some of my favorites so i think i will pick it up. Kinda assumed it would have MMO-ish quests thrown around a big empty map since it has the ability to play with people(afaik) and that's what scared me from picking it up.

>since you only mentioned skyrim and dragon age instead of other rpgs with many more similarities i feel like you don't have a lot of experience in the genre.


I do actually! it's my favorite genre. I just compared it to those because the screenshots i saw reminded me a lot of DA:O, and used Skyrim as an example because it has that kind of MMOish very detached quest feel to it which i don't particularly enjoy, so i knew if to stay clear of it kek.

I love the game, but it's given me a problem I've never had with any other game. I love all the companions and want to go through all of their quest lines, but can only take 3 at a time. I've seriously restarted 3-4 times now, trying to figure out my favorite party dynamic to roleplay with.

oh, then the game is perfect for you! it has multiplayer but it doesn't make it MMO-like. the quests are very complex and the maps are full of details. this game is the furthest from MMO you can get, tbh.

i know that feel! i currently play as lohse and the red prince, together with two customs. my next run will be a full undead party with fane and two customs. after that i'll make a lone wolf run with sebille and ifan. don't really care about beast tho tbh. maybe i'll squeeze him in somewhere…

I bought Transistor two days ago as an app (bc it's cheaper and i have a shit-tier pc) and I didn't expect it to be so good.
Art, soundtrack, gameplay, plot; I really can't find anything bad about it. Okay well, it crashes all the time during saves, probably because it's a mobile port, but it still saves so I can go right back without losing much progress.
I went back and bought Bastion and even though it's quite charming, I still enjoy Transistor more. I'll probably pick up both soundtracks as well.
transistor's ending fucks me up so badly though, but that might be because i'm depressed

There are some amazing mobile games out there, even if some are just ports. They tend to be hard to find unless they get featured or if you're following the devs because they're pretty expensive as apps go. It's obviously better to buy the game on steam if it's available though, not just for performance reasons, but because devs are just more likely to update the 'main' version of the game than the mobile version.

You might like Gabriel Knight:Sins of the Father for pc. It's a point and click mystery set in New Orleans.It was originally released in 1993, but there was a 3d remake made a couple years ago.

The 3d looks a little awkward at times, and some people say the voice acting was better in the original, but I didn't really notice. The puzzles are much more challenging than the ones in Life is Strange so you might need to use a walkthrough (or the in-game hint system if you play the remake).

Didn't know where else to post this:

Does anyone remember the very persistent rumour that Nintendogs could breed with each other?

There were tons of videos and posts out there with kids insisting their dogs could breed by following a list of random tips like only feeding them water and dry food. Some videos even showed very small puppies, supporting this rumor, but that was just Action Replay at work that enabled shrinking a dog's original size.

To this day, I wonder why so many 8 to 10-year-old kids all over the internet stubbornly upheld this rumor, hid the fact they used Action Replay to get abnormally small-sized puppies and pretended that breeding was a part of the game while telling everybody that Nintendo is lying to their players about it.

No. 1998

>>1997
Oh I do remember this, the reason why so many kids lied about it was because they wanted to show off a dog that in a way was even more special than the rest. Back then there was a social status for nintendogs, hard to get breeds and collecting all items were something that made you seem like a queen. I know this because as a kid I bragged and used AR to be better than the other girls. So in a way using AR to breed the puppies made it seem like you are smarter, better at the game, and cooler than other players. Sounds stupid but there used to be forums for this back in the day.

right now i'm playing layers of fear inheritance because it's halloween and i have to play scary games during the scary season. i also did a replay of rule of rose recently and i still love that game.

when i think about it, my favorite games are generally horror-oriented. i really loved the most recent resident evil, there were a bunch of parts where i felt like i was getting hit on the head with all the references to horror movies, which was awesome.

one of my favorite games ever is deadly premonition. it's the best.

on ds i play monster hunter, harvest moon, rune factory and animal crossing. i also have a huge soft spot for the style savvy games. i love the fuck out of them, but i wish they gave you some romance, too.

speaking of romance i used to be a huge bioware fan but not so much any longer. DA:I was so bloated and boring and I was genuniely sad about that. KoTOR is still the best game, for me, with DA:O a close second.

looking forward to the new red dead redemption and i also love picking up saints row 4 or diablo 3 when i'm bored or just want to play something quick.

I've got all the big names so I'll give a small review.
Zelda is super amazing and fun, however after about a week or two it starts to feel repetitive, but we'll see what the next few DLCs offer.
Splatoon 2 is fun as well, I'm not super big on team fighters but it's proved more entertaining and cute than expected.
I just got Mario Odessey and I'm completely obsessed I adore this game and everything about it.
While the games all play great, the eshop and menu design leave a lot to be desired. It's so minimalist it's almost annoying. Also the joy con are super tiny.

So I sat down and actually took a gander at Layers of Fear since it really seemed like a visually interesting 'scary game'
I especially was into it because instead of having an Amnesia / Dead space approach with possible enemies and the threat of death, its got a very theatrical gameplay to it where you pick up clues and get tossed through a maze.
It basically nailed what Uncharted lacked when it comes to a 'movie' gameplay.
It gets you from a to b without making it obvious or restricting gameplay too much.
Im a sucker for the whole 'victorian villa' aesthetic and making it super artsy didnt help my plight, I was super into the constantly shifting halls and rooms.
My graphics settings were all high, runing the game as optimal as it could be (if anyone wants my advance settings just ask) it was a smooth playthrough,
I was griping about the control for sure though, its a VR compatible game so opening/closing drawers or winding up objects would at times be really fucking annoying since on a controller there isnt as much motion available than when you're moving a vr gamepad.
In the end i really enjoyed it and anyone who likes spooky games should deffo give it a look.

Unless you're set on a particular design of n3DS XL, you should probably get a regular n3DS or a 2DS XL instead. The n3DS XL is reaallllly big, it's kinda awkward. The size of the reg. n3DS is perfect imo. A lot bigger than the o3ds, but not too big.

The design is gorgeous too, and the plates are fucking beautiful. I have the plates in pic related, the Kyary Pamyu Pamyu ones, some boo ones that glow in the dark, the acnl ones, and a few others. I love them all so much, even if they are a bit expensive…

The 2DS XL is also really nice, I highly reccomend it if you don't really use the 3D and you're okay with the size (it's huge just like the 3DS XL)

I also reccomend that you homebrew your 3DS and dl usum for free when it comes out unless you just really want a physical copy (or you feel bad about not paying for it).

I think the concept is kinda shit and the execution is supbar, it feels like a shitty MMO where you cant even play with the same players more than once (which kinda defeats the purpose imo) and it feels slightly like mobile game mechanics implemented on a PS game, but i am still enjoying it quite a bit and looking forward to what they will do with it.

I play it too and I enjoy it.but I hate myself for it because it's really bad actually.
Like there are so many bugs that makes the gameplay not enjoyable.
E.g the bug when no monsters spawn or the bug when the server is suddenly """down""" while for everyone else it works.
Idk I also think that they could have made it so much better bc the 10 years when Noctis is not there is a plot hole that should be filled.
It also feels weird tha everything is so light outside?? Despite it being super dark when you arrive 10 years later with Noctis.
But idk I feel like Final Fantasy 15 is a huge let down anyways.
I understand the first hype because no one knew how medicore it would be but now that everyone played it I really don't get how people can't see all the plot holes,bad story telling, the fact that missions are all the same etc.
Sorry for my rant lol.
I'm just so disappointed because I can see it's potential especially story wise so it kinda makes me mad that it's not as good as it could be especially after 10 years of working on it.

Im obsessed with Gravity Rush. I love the world, the movement system, and the main character.

Every spare moment of the day, I think about the lore, trying to come up with theories that answer unsolved questions.

I started learning how to the lucid dream because I want to fly around with those cloud cities with the characters.

I played the Vita game, then the PS4 game, and nothing else. I have no other games because I don't think anything can compare.

Everytime I think about how I can never get Kat's pre-order white costume (because I didn't know about the games then) I want to cry and scream. I would do so many terrible things for it, and even worse things for a garuantee that a 3rd game will be made. It kills me that the game sold dick and the online photo sharing and treasure hunting server will be shutting down this January after just one year.

I'm about to do some Necrozma shit, but the game has felt like a chore to play through for me personally, especially from sort of the second half on. When XY came out, I was spent the entire weekend of it's launch deep into the game, beat it, and everything felt great (even with midterms being around that time). I've had Ultra Sun since it came out and I still haven't beaten it yet, even with the extended Thanksgiving holiday weekend off from work because I just haven't been immersed with it. I don't like the change in format (Gyms>Island trials) and I guess I'm not big on plot-heavy Pokemon games? Because the ones that felt much more plot-centered to me when it came to the villainous groups (which are Gen 5 and Gen 7) have been my absolute least favorite to play. I always buy both versions, but for both of those generations I couldn't get through a second playthrough on my 'flex' version for both of those… and I didn't even bother to get White 2.

I would say that I'm finally growing out of Pokemon, but put me back into any Gen 1-4 or Gen 6 game and I can thoroughly enjoy them start to finish. I don't know. Maybe I'm just salty they didn't make a Pokemon Z and shoved the Zygarde stuff into SuMo.

(I'm sorry for the Pokemon rant. I just don't have at irl friends to compare thoughts to because they dropped the series at ~Gen 3. It's one of those series that I really and truly love, and it kills me when I can't get enjoyment out of an installment)

Personally disagree on some things, but I rlly see where you're coming from. I didn't like gen 6, especially not X and Y. 5, 4, and 2 were my favorites, B2W2 might be my fave games in the series (if not it's either DPP or HGSS), but Sun and Moon have a shittier plot and they spend waaaay too much time on it. I like the trials just as much as gyms and I think it would have been a lot of fun if it weren't for the garbage plot, the hand holding, the unskippable cutscenes every two fucking steps, etc.

Oh well. Hopefully the switch one will be good?

Found out you could marry Lumina on the ps2 special edition version, and change your kid's gender to female.

I just feel a bit sorry for Muffy bc she liked my character and called him a "monster" when she found out I married someone else ;-; I've looked at game reviews and apparently she has man troubles for the rest of her life and is crazy envious for never getting married or having kids. I wish they wrote some of these characters a happier ending…

Not a problem! Everyone has the games they enjoy in the series. I'm a bit of a Francophile I guess, and loved the clothing choices for XY so that helped a lot in making it one of my favorites. I loved HGSS as well, but I loved GSC in general. I liked being able to go to both Johto and Kanto. When RS came out, I was confused as to why you couldn't go back to previous regions (lol) but still enjoyed it nonetheless.

I probably need to go back and play B2W2… I'm pretty sure I transferred my team over to X already so I could restart it and see if it is better another time around. I think one of the things I didn't like about the original BW was the fact you were stuck with just that generation of Pokemon, and not a lot of them really appealed to me at the time. I've grown to like a handful more of them now, so maybe it won't be so bad… but I remember there being a distinct lack of L=A button function for Gen 5 and I think that's what turned me off of it. It's such a small feature, but I've used it on everything since Ruby because I'm guilty of multitasking when playing… which brings me to another gripe with SM/USUM–when you turn that feature on, you can't use your R button to rotate you character when trying on clothes or to easily trigger the Pokefinder. I legitimately thought I had broken my DS until I switched my settings to see if that was why I couldn't get it to work.

But I definitely agree on your Gen. 7 thoughts–it often felt like a 'baby's first Pokemon game' in its guidance. And god, the cut scenes. I went to Walmart before work to get a copy of Sun when it came out, and it took me almost 30 minutes (the time period I allotted myself so I could play it some/still get to work on time) to get my damn starter. That was a definite turn-off for me.

Just an FYI, in case anyone here is thinking about playing counter strike and taking it seriously:

Don't. If you practice, get better, climb ranks, and so on, you'll eventually get to the top ranks, but literally a third of the players in top ranks are blatantly cheating (and many more are cheating but being subtle about it). All this in prime MM (i.e. you need to have played a certain amount and have linked a phone number, to reduce the number of cheaters).
Of course, there are cheaters at all ranks, but if you're even half decent at aiming you can totally wreck cheaters in low/medium ranks. Higher up you get shafted.

Ocarina of Time was the first game I ever finished and holds a special place in my heart. I’m a poorfag so most of my exposure to games is through my friends and their consoles, so I’ve played a lot of games but don’t get the chance to really sit through them often. I like stuff like Portal and Life is Strange, also Fallout 4 And Dying Light were super fun (I did get to at least watch the rest of DL to the end, was so good). On my iPhone I play Fallout Shelter, Oxenfree, Limbo and sometimes I’ll drop in on Line Play to check on my avatar. Other games I’ve played in the past and liked were Osu!, GTA5, and Minecraft. Fuck, I’ve played a lot of games, I just can’t recall any of them now that I want to list them of course.

>online or sp

Except for my Nintendo 3DSXL I don’t own a console, I have a laptop but I just got it and know fuck all about online gaming. When I was a preteen I spent all day on Runescape, then Gaia, then I took a hiatus from computers for about 5 years.

>what are you playing on pc/console/mobile

I mostly play Fallout Shelter and Oxenfree on my phone at work, but I want to get into something fun that I can play online at home and hopefully meet some cool people to play with. I’m sick of gaming solo but all my friends are console gamers and don’t give two fucks about app or online games.

Personally I didn't like how much the story was focused on Rachel rather than Chloe, and the final choice was way too easy compared to the first one's. Like, of course the right thing to do is to avoid telling R the truth.
Literally everyone, including Rachel's bio mom, thought it was the only good choice.

I'm always making unpopular choices (Bae over Bay) and I told her the truth. Personally, I value truth very much and would rather know it, even painful and destructive. That's what I told William, too. And James crossed a line, it wasn't just to protect Rachel imho, he acted out of grudge and possessivness, knew what a person Damon was and what could he do to Sera… No, in my opinion letting such a person play a perfect papa was fucked up. Rachel deserved to know.
I'm just sad though I didn't manage to have Sera appear in the beach scene.
Also, the Dark Room post-creds scene fucked me up, I actually cried lol.
Don't judge me. I'm very into those games, and after what we've been through with Rachel and Chloe, it's heartbreaking to realize what happened later… Everything became so much more real and painful.

Bae or Bay is the most controversial decision I've ever made in a game. In my playthrough I chose to save Arcadia Bay, it was extremely sad but that finale seems almost the canon one. It felt more legit, more real, and gave a good closure to everything. (Plus I didn't like Chloe that much.) On the other hand, I felt terribly for Chloe's mum… that poor woman suffered so much already and I'm sure she would've preferred to give her life to save her daughter.
The Bae ending had more of a "happy" feeling but it felt so anticlimatic… Wouldn't Max and Chloe care about what happened to their parents? They just leave and smile to each other? Plus it's weird that you can't see a single dead body, it seems more like all the people vanished. Unless… that was it? People in AB were deleted from existence instead of dying? Would explain why Max and Chloe don't seem to be giving any fuck.
Anyway now, after playing BtS I like Chloe more. If I ever had to play LiS again it's going to be tough, lol.

I'm glad that BtS hasn't ruined me like LiS, there I cried for 70% of the time. Enough feels lol

In the taiko games, I couldn't even finish the 10s and the only 9 I bothered to full combo was O.T.N. because it's a banger (pun semi-intended) and I played it so much. Vita was perfect, albiet a bit small and awkward because of the system's layout, and the DS4 was adequate.

Of course, I love the Silent Hill series, the SH2 is my favorite too out of the series.

Did you also play any of the Fatal Frame games? I'm thirsty for a good horror survival game so please list any that recently came out and that you liked.

Rule of Rose is one of my favorite horror games ever. I absolutely loved the story and visuals of the game. The gameplay itself was clunky at times, but the puzzles were fun and i love that it was a 99% all female cast. Clock tower 1 and 3 are great too! (clock tower 2 is another story…)

I paid quite a bit of money to get my copy of Haunting Ground and I really hated how helpless the main protag was. The story was also really gross (i dont want to spoil it for anyone who wants to play.)

Rule of Rose was indeed stunning when it came out. I remember being hyped for the game but I couldn't get it due to the issues you mentioned, that it was sexual in nature, spoiler alert: admittedly there are strong implications that Hoffman abused Clara and Diana so I had to jailbreak my PS2 to play the pirated copy. I managed to buy all other games but I regret not having this one because it apparently had the music sheet.

RoR's OST is so well done. I still listen to it occasionally and I like to play some tracks on my piano. And it was also one of the rare games that made my heavily cry in the end.
True, the gameplay was clunky and really frustrating at time. Regardless, I've spent countless hours discussing the lore on certain sites before there were wikis.
Fuck, I just realized the game was released more than ten years ago.

And you're right regarding the gruesome story in Haunting Ground. Moreover, I disliked the oversexualized appearance and unrealistic physics with Fiona's boobs. What really got me was the setting of the Belli castle and the well-designed stalkers and Hewie ♥

There aren't that many survival games in the truest sense so I play what I can get. I mean, I do like Evil Within 1 & 2 and Resident Evil VII was all right, but despite being labeled survival horror they never gave me that feeling of absolute terror like the other ones did.

Nice to see fatal frame fans here. It's my most beloved series.
>>2106
Definitely agree on this. It had potential but it didn't feel like fatal frame at all. It just felt stripped of everything that made fatal frame good and just focused on cute girls. Not to mention nintendo flubbed the release by making it digital only.
Has anyone played Mask of the lunar eclipse. It was good but the controls and over the shoulder camera angles took away from the scary factor for me.
I did like the rituals and lore though. I feel like this is where the series died. Fatal frame had a formula that worked for it and kept getting better from 1 to 3 but they changed it too much.

Honestly, I really wish horror would go back to focusing more on atmosphere like the ps1 to 2 era. I'm talking fixed camera angles, atmospheric music and actually planned out backdrops. Now most horror is just dark/gorey without any heart in it. Also tired of being thrown into fps style gameplay.

I haven't played anything past Fatal Frame 3 aside from Spirit Camera, so I don't really know how the others are. But Spirit Camera, while in the Fatal Frame family, was so bad and it was only about a 3 hour game. It didn't have the charms of the first three and the AR system could have been used so much better. I'm so glad that there are other Fatal Frame fans here, though.

I haven't gotten around to playing Haunting Ground or Rule of Rose, though. I do have the DreadOut games, which are trying to be like Fatal Frame and Siren, but I heard they weren't so good and the VA work is awful. I'm honestly more of a horror VN kinda person, though, since I played the hell out of Sound of Drop and DDLC and I'm playing through Higurashi.

So I tend to be a bit organization and list-happy when it comes to stuff that I own, and I decided last week that I would catalog my video games, starting with the PS1 and 2. I found a handy website to do it with which also compiles all the data into an excel file and all is well.

Until I realized I'm missing a few games, one of which being Tail Concerto.

I can't find it fucking anywhere and it was absolutely tearing me apart for a few days. I was systematically going through all the places it COULD be, because I honestly haven't seen the game in years. I had assumed it was in the box with everything else. If it's not in the box it could be fucking anywhere. Did I lose it? Did my sister take it and lose it? I don't know and the uncertainty drives me nuts.

I've only just given up looking for it, and decided to look up how much it would cost to replace

jesus fucking christ

I decided to get in touch with a local game shop to see if they have any copies, so.. hopefully? and at a price that won't destroy me?

Why couldn't I have lost one of those trash bass fishing games, it had to god damn tail concerto augh I am sad

I love the art direction of the Castlevania games, not a lot of other series have satisfied me as much as this one.
I hope Bloodstained turns out to be good, I was hoping Igarashi was gonna keep it 2D. The concept art reminded me of a Vanillaware game and I was digging it a lot. That reminds me, I wanna find out more about that new Vanillaware game coming out.

The Etrian Odyssey series is my favorite on 3DS, I'd start with 4. Heard that Bravely Default and Fire Emblem Awakening are both really good, know smt4 is good, Devil Survivor is okay if you turn of the voice acting, and the yo-kai watch games are a lot of fun and surprisingly pretty.

Fantasy Life seems like a game someone into Rune Factory/harvest moon would like, but I haven't played it.

What do you guys think of the new ffxv episodes coming out?

I'm personally hyped for episode Ardyn! Episode Lunafreya might be interesting since we've only seen like 5 minutes of her. I don't get episode Aranea though? Wish we could've gotten an episode Regis, Cor or Ravus instead.

Pic related is the rumored alternate ending we're gonna get. Not sure what I think about them adding new endings and stuff tbh.

Of course, it's not without it's flaws, but I really believe if they revived it for ps4 (like monster hunter has) it could foster some really fun co op play.

Although I realise it would be much more difficult for them because they'd have nowhere near the following MH does, so it'll never happen.

The funniest part about that is that I was trying to get my little sister into gaming at the time and was pretty sure she'd be into Ape Escape, so I went to GameStop and was like "I need Ape Escape 1 for PS2 plz"

Maplestory 2 is coming out in a few days to closed beta. Not sure when open release is, but I assume shortly after beta. It's pretty cute. lots of character customization. The demographic for the game seems to be mostly people in their 20s and 30s (OG players from old school MS1). So I'm looking forward to the community for this game. MS1 has died down a lot. Nobody really parties or socializes anymore due to the direction the game took in terms of leveling. MS2 is definitely going to be a different approach. I'm super excited. Plus Maplestory is coming to mobile sometime. It'll be better than Pocket Maplestory (that game was absolute shit). Its great for on the go and there's better character customization in it too, as well as better UI and controls.

I curently play dark souls 3, got to be good at pvp, and not afraid of ganksters. I love playing as casters, it's very satisfying beating some try hard with double giant swords in one lightning strike, or disrupting gank with a crystal soul spear. I even combined magic with miracles adjusting my build for spear that casts magic through Faith stat, instead of intelligence: try hards are even more confused being hit with miracles by someone who casts magic.

I don't even get mad when someone throws cheap tricks on me, it's actually funny when they are angry to the point of repeating "point down" gesture.

Hey, nice to see someone else enjoying DS. DS3 is my least favorite in the series but the PvP is decent. If you ever feel like playing together, please let me know!

Though, I haven't played DS3 in a while. Also, if you enjoy being a sorcerer, you're going to love it in DS and even DS2(soul memory is a pain though) because there are more sorceries and staves and you can diversify your magic build a lot more.

I'm this anon and I finally got myself a PS4 for the sole purpose of playing Bloodborne. Since I love the DS series, I thought of trying out Bloodborne and I'm so glad I did! The game is absolutely fantastic, from the gameplay, the characters, the lore, OST, everything!

You're set in a Lovecraftian world, dark and grim, with a Victorian England architecture and wardrobe, where you play as a hunter against beasts and alike.
You have a limited choice of weapons but they(trick weapons) can also be transformed rendering them usually a bit different and more powerful, thus diversifying the combat.

What I particularly like about this game and what makes it different from the DS series is that you have to be aggressive. For example, if an enemy hits you, you can regain the health shortly after by hitting back. There are only two shields in the entire game, and both aren't that much used from my pvp experience, instead, you're most likely to use a firearm to parry in a fight. This makes the combat fast paced and always has you on your toes which is unlike the DS games where you can tank through some bosses, hit and shield hit and roll etc. However, just like any other soulsborne game, you have to learn the boss's moves and its weak spots.

The only downside to this game is that there are way fewer weapons in this game and you can't have that many different builds.

There are a whole lot of similarities to other dark souls games when it comes to PvP, you can beckon other players to help you, you can invade them and you can co-op. There are also dungeons where you can grind to get more items and echoes(souls) and there are even lore tidbits and unique bosses in there, tbh I found the dungeons to be tedious, you will feel that way too if you have to grind for a long time to get a particular gem.

The only thing that I hate about playing online is that you have to have the PSN subscription.

I unironically think DS2:SotFS is the best game in the entire series. The base game wouldn't do much for me but the dlcs made it into a great adventure. Majula alone is my comfort go-to zone and what I love about DS2 is that you have the ability to have a satisfying ending, different from other DS games.

I also prefer DS2 over DS3 because it feels like there are tons of different and varied places as opposed to DS3 with its rather a greyscale environment (the exception being Irithyll and Archdragon peak, my fav locations incidentally).

I like DS3 too, even though I felt that the people working on it were desperate for inspiration and kind of lacking in it, the gameplay was linear as opposed to DS2 where you can stretch into different areas and imo you have more freedom in choosing where and when you want to go somewhere. There's that exploration element that DS3 doesn't have.

What I prefer in DS3 is that the game progression/difficulty level is well made but that's precisely because it's so linear. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed some boss fights in it like the Dancer of the Boreal Valley, Pontiff Sulyvahn, and the Twin Princes. Btw Ashes of Ariandel was the worst dlc in the entire soulsborne series and the final boss of that dlc was a huge dissapointment. I regretted preordering the season pass because I didn't feel it was worth the money. And I much preferred the Painted World of Ariamis despite the graphics being outdated.

Another thing that I'm sure a lot of people will disagree, is the OST. While I did like a couple of tracks that Yuka Kitamura did for the previous soulsborne series, I dislike her work on DS3. Her tracks are too 'epic' with almost every track having some cringy vocals(no lyrics) therefore all of the tracks sound alike. DS1, DS2 and Bloodborne tracks all have more unique tracks that suit the boss or the location.

I really don't get the hate for DS2. The only fault I find in it is the soul memory, I have no idea who in FS thought that was a good idea.

Got a cracked case PS1 game in the mail today, thought I'd leave the seller with some shipping feedback since they sent it in a just-big-enough bubble mailer. Over PM though, since I didn't want to say anything over the overall feedback

I tell him he may want to send these (and anything with a jewel case) in a box or put even more padding in the future. I don't want compensation or anything, but figure someone else might get a broken case and react badly about it.

This usually goes one of two ways: either they understand and apologize, or they get defensive

>I've shipped all my games that way

>it was padded

That's fucking nice, but I still got a broken case. You also sent it in a bubble mailer, and jewel cases are practically made of tissue paper.

What's the point of getting defensive anyway? I already said I don't need compensation, and it's feedback on your shipping. If it happened to me, it'll happen to someone else.

Thankfully it's a clean break on a low-strain area so I can just glue it back on, but augh I just hate people

I'm sorry for more PS spurging

Just got a PS1 in the mail earlier and spent a few hours cleaning it and one of the controllers up. Got it for a dollar and it was a mess
It looks really damn good now and I'm very proud

Gonna clean the other controller tomorrow, I don't know if it'll be harder to clean than the first one or not, since the other didn't have the dual shock.

Also need to test the compatibility with the tvs though, I plugged it in to the set top box just to make sure it worked and played a few rounds of Um Jammer Lammy. I forgot how long the load times were

Please continue! I have a pink PS2 lite i managed to cop from a thrift store for nothing and im buying the pink controller released for it since the console was p untouched and shiny! however I have been looking around for whats best, find a converter of some sort for my current television which is relatively new or just find an old tv for my old consoles? I keep hearing pros and cons from both sides and i don't even know what converters work best tbh
I have the old school PS2 as well and my next target is the PS, hopefully I will fix a wall mount for the PS gen's that I can unhook and use when i feel like it. Do you have any methods to cleaning consoles? Before & after pics are pooorn

I'm really sad because I didn't take any official before pictures of the controller! I have the listing photo and a picture I took of the inside to remember how the wires go, the edges were completely brown.
and the buttons
there was so much crust just everywhere
It was so satisfying to just throw everything in the sink and wash it

The console was less interesting, but I found out the cd reader head literally just floats there on like three pegs, but it's not kept down by anything except one ribbon cable
I just blasted it with canned air (lots of dust!), took the buttons off the cover, and washed the top cover in the sink with dish soap
anything extra I got with magic eraser
there are some springs I didn't take out though, so I made sure to super dry it before putting it back together. It sounds dumb, but I flick it in the air to get water out, tap it against my leg, then tap it against the counter on a paper towel. After I'm sure I got all the water, I take a hair dryer to it, just to be double sure.

I did the same with the controller.

>ps2 lite

I love mine! ps2 lites are great. Does your tv have non-hdmi hookups? Composite or component? I bought an official component cable yearrrss ago, but they've gone up in price. You can go with a cheap aftermarket cable, or I'll share a link with these guys since I was thinking of purchasing a component cable from them because I'm an idiot who forgot I had one already
>https://shop.hdretrovision.com/collections/component-cables/products/ps2-ps3-ypbpr-component-cable?variant=3769542246440

they have a mailing list, their stuff is popular and I've heard good things!

It looks like there's also hdmi converters, but I don't know if they're any good or not tbh

I have plans to hook up my PS1 and Genesis to my old box tv because I don't really like the look of these old games on hdtvs and the curse of nostalgia
the gamer community nitpicks EVERYTHING in terms of quality. For the ps2, it's literally aesthetics, since I think it's ps1 games that have issues with newer tvs (which I'm testing today), due to the 240p quality signal might be too low for these tvs.

I LOVE the idea of hanging systems on walls, especially if done with design in mind.

So I just finished doing a lot of testing on my tvs, and can report that the HD ones are finicky as shit when working with the PS1. I don't think they like the transition from 480 scenes to 240 and won't continue, but if you reset enough it will get through it and everything is fine.

Thankfully the box sees everything fine, but the sound is hummy and there's some flicker. I ordered new AV cables for it.

My PS2 slim doesn't have any of these issues, thankfully. I can play that shit everywhere. The main reason I wanted an OG PS was for nostalgia and to play a few games that my model of the PS2 slim reportedly can't play.

Fun Fact: apparently the slim has trouble with/can't play some regular ps2 games either.

So I'm really want to get my own Nintendo Switch, I've been co-using another Switch for a while now to play BOTW and other stuff but the selfish person I am, I thought that I should finally invest in my own one so I can play stuff in peace.

BUT there is one thing that kind of "worries" me and this is the fact that I don't really know how much it will affect my save data of all the games I have played so far and do all the DLCs move with my account to a new switch?

Does anybody here have some experiences with this? I have read several threads and official Nintendo sites about this and - I'm still not 100% convinced that I can move everything smoothly?

And for the last thing: When I move my account, with all the content that has been downloaded with it so far (games and DLCs etc.), are they also gone from the original Switch where they has been purchased from?

I recently replayed it and even though the pacing is incredibly off, basically running Charters 9-14 through in less than five hours, I still found myself liking it just as much as I did back in 2015.

I got into it relatively late, but I’m pretty glad they are still pumping out content. Kind of have to, since the game is super unfinished, but those DLCs are really worthwhile. Looking forward to alternate ending in episode Noctis too, although the OG canon ending did kinda make sense.

It’s by no means a perfect game, but the internet shits on it so much they forget it’s humongously enjoyable and the characters are well-developed, despite poor storytelling, awkward romantic interest choices and suspension of belief more often than someone in church says amen.

I don't know whether to get Dark Souls Remastered or not.

I have dark souls 2 and 3 in my steam library and Bloodborne in my playstation library. I only played DS PtD pirated and that was two years after it was released, so I was hoping to get in with the recent remaster on the launch and the revived userbase.

But now there are hackers going rampant so my main reason for buying this are iffy with lots of negative reviews.

If I had the 20$ discount, I would have bought it pronto but giving 40$ for a patch seems like throwing away money and I'd much rather buy Kingdom Come in that case and buy the remaster later on sale or from a key shop.

Could someone give me their honest opinion on DSR if you've played it?

Can I rage about Her Interactive?

I grew up playing the Nancy Drew series, after reading the books as a little kid. They were so fun. The puzzles felt unique and challenging, the characters compelling and they managed to instill a scary/mysterious feeling without great graphics or triple A gameplay.

They were supposed to come out with Midnight in Salem..three years ago, I think? The reason they haven't is because some dumb bitch (Penny Milken) took over Her Interactive, fired everyone (including Nancy's voice actress) and hired a new team so she could push her STEM-based crap that no one wanted.

The "games" they've made since she's taken over are shit. I'm all for empowering girls with STEM, but Nancy Drew was ALREADY a strong female character and quite empowering to young women. There could have been ways to do what she wanted to do without pissing off longtime fans, firing the crew, killing their main franchise, etc. The products they produce now are soulless and boring, no wonder they're hemmoraging money. Modern girls aren't at all interested in their games. And the worst part is, that aforementioned new leader is a straight up cunt about it who can't admit she was wrong. She either lies to fans, talks down to them or has them blocked from their social media for asking questions. She's pushing her shit on an audience that doesn't want it, and it's not even well made, because she's a narcissistic white feminist.

I want Midnight in Salem, damn it.

I LOVE the Yakuza series. I got into it around December and I've been nonstop hooked. The Japanese Yakuza 6 demo is what got me into the series & I've never been more glad. I have all the games minus the Fist of the North Star spin-off and beaten 7 games so far. Yakuza 0, 2, and Ishin are my favorite in the series. I'm still going back and playing games I already beat since there's still tons of content to complete, like I have 100 hours put into 5 and I've only completed 28% of the game, story finished.

I recently started playing Fortnite and I'm super addicted already. Never cared much about online games, but I tried Far Cry 5‘s multiplayer after finishing the game (I love that one as well btw) and realized that playing with/against others can be fun. Fortnite looked a bit tacky at first and the community can be cringy (annoying little boys screaming into their mics), but I like the gameplay and I also like Epic Games (especially because of Gears of War).

I guess this will keep me occupied for a while. Another game I'm really excited for is Story of Seasons (ex Harvest Moon) for Switch! Finally a reason to get the Switch tbh!

So what are your thoughts on recent teaser trailers with E3 and all?

I was so disappointed with DMC5, at least it's not anything like DcM but it just looks like less of a trash. The song was shit and the trailer left so much to be desired. Not to mention that annoying female character that made me cringe. I hope that the gameplay is fun, otherwise it looks like shit and from the current reactions everyone's eating it too.

Cyberpunk 2077 got me hyped, I like the low life high tech thing that they managed to capture, because in Blade Runner 2049 retards somehow think that night + neon colors + robots is all there is to cyberpunk.

Lastly, Sekiro:Shadows Die Twice seems promising. Admittedly, I'm a FS fan but the trailer looked good and I'm glad they're not milking the DS series anymore.

i know. i know. i'm just worried about the hype being too big. i had to learn that the hard way with TPP unfortunately and i still havent recovered from how much of a let down that game was.

i am genuinely excited about the gameplay. i was watching someone stream + commentate and everyone was saying that gameplay looks bad, there's a lack of combat, they arent showing the monsters, etc. but i feel like thats whats making the game more interesting as of now, that lack of unknown.

Only thing I found interesting was Babylon's Fall. Not really a fan of FF, KH, or that dumbass Captain whatever Life is Strange bullshit.

I hated that I already knew that Fallout 76 was gonna be a bummer. I think everyone more or less felt that way. Building settlements was the least interesting thing about FO4 (for me at least) so having a game where this mechanic is at the forefront is just…idk, dissapointing. Just gonna wait and watch like everyone else, I guess.

Anybody here tried Vampyr?
I was excited to play it as I fell in love with Life is Strange recently, but after 2 hours uninstalled the game. It's well done but the plot does not interest me enough to sink 60-100+ hours into it… Worried that it picks up later on, but overall feel pretty meh. Shame as I would love a spiritual succesor to Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines.

Death Stranding looks so boring. I guess I'm not the demographic for it. I'm not a fan of games that try super hard with weird imagery and symbolism so the story from what we've seen so far is just eh. I love Norman Reedus though so I may try it out just for him. I also want to support Kojima
The Last of Us 2 trailer was disappointing. The gameplay was ok but that opening cutscene sucked.

kinda but it all depends on how strong your internet connection is. I tried to use remote play to try out monster hunter world and it was stuttering a lot because of shit wifi or something else. And it also depends on the game because some games dont translate too well with VITA controls

I just went to visit /v/ and got disappointed by the amount of threads with "gurrrls destroy everything. guurls ruined the video games industry". Also, the hate against strong female protags.

I've been playing video games ever since I was a kid in 90s and I know other girls that like to play vidya without being vocal about it or doing it for attention. I guess what irks me the most is that their reasoning is that women can't have their own interests because everything we do is for attention. Idk why it gets me everytime. I just wonder how many gusy think like that outside of imageboards.

Anyhow, I found this jewel called Sable, and I really liked the art style of it, so I was thinking that some of you may appreciate it as well.

I'm hyped for quite a number of games, which makes me happy because I feared that I lost my love for vidya but Cyberpunk 2077, Sekiro, Death Stranding among others are titles that make me look forward. I wish there were estimated release dates, even if just approximate.

Btw, is getting PS4 Pro worth it if I already own PS4? Is the difference that stark?

Also, what do you think of Déraciné by From Soft?

Yeah, it seemed so forced. It didn't feel like Ellie is a lesbian just because she is a lesbian, it felt like they were going out of their way to be like "look at us and how inclusive we are, shocked you real good with lesbians". Couldn't they have made a sweet, natural kissing scene, and not one that felt like pandering to tumblr and neckbeards.

Plus, she doesn't even look like an older Ellie, she looks like a completely different character. They changed her face too much.

No. 2309

I don't know why everyone(read /v/) is so upset about the kiss. You have all these games that pander to guys with near naked women with no questioning whether it belongs in a game and for once there's like a non porn lesbian couple kissing on the screen with this ridiculous outrage.

So what it they put that lesbian kiss for appearing inclusive? It's not like games never do things to appeal to a certain type of audience.

You don't have to like the game or the change of Ellie's character, I just wish you and the rest would be honest and admit that you don't like non sexualised female characters in your game because if it were two bimbos making out then no one would have complained.

Personally im above the moon that for once a studio doesnt just do a gay stint for ~charcter development~ but actually kept it part of her. Im more tired of all these overhyped small kisses/interactions between same sex characters (usually background characters not even mains) thats supposed to be so groundbreaking but really mostly just safe pandering. I also dont understand what the fuck people mean by ellie didn't seem/feel gay like what the fuck is she supposed to do roll up as a kid with a leather vest asking if somebody needs help building a cat shelter??
This is an instance where i feel people yell pandering just because its just a gay character and people are so tired of the troons and tumblr culture they forget that not every gay character made is a big money scheme, especially considering Ellie isn't overly sexualised nor did their trailers aim for any real focus on relationship drama besides making an enticing intro to their game.
(If pandering is on the menu hit up Square Enix and life is strange thats so obviously pandering but people keep blowing it up everyones ass for being so deep, real and lgb open yet the moment the DLC with Ellies first kiss came out people lost their shit like how fucking dare Naughty Dog have a downloadable story to venture into some of Ellies past/relationships without burdening you or the main plot compared to literally playing Degrassi: Square enix edition)

No. 2313

I really like the look of Ellie in The Last of Us 2. The shot in the trailer where she smiles at the girl after the kiss is my favourite, it's so hard to describe what I mean, but it feels so genuine and gentle.

I think it might be because both girls remind me of some of my own friends both in their looks and manners. It's so nice to see people that look like people in a video game, for once.

This was me for a few years tbh. I don't know how I got my funk back, but I started playing the Yakuza series. It really helped with my focusing issues because of all the side shit you can do in between the main story. You might just need to start playing more games with less linear paths, like more open world games. Maybe checkout different genres of games as well, probably burnt out from playing too many JRPGs at once? Maybe not too many for you, but our brains are weird like that. Hopefully you can play JRPGs again after a few weeks of playing something else!

I see, the last few games I bought that weren't JRPGs are easy nintendo platform games so I think I'll start playing them soon and alternate between JRPGs and other shorter games.

I just bought an Xbox one a week ago with a copy of Grand Theft Auto V! I want to use gaming to meet people and make friends, but it's kind of hard finding people to play with. Everyone I already jnow who has an Xbox… doesn't have GTAV, despite the fact that I bought it because when I asked them about the games they like the most, GTAV was the one everyone kept saying they spend the most time playing. I downloaded Life is Strange, which is keeping me a little busy since I never did finish the game the first time I played it, but I'm already getting bored with it. Gaming just isn't as stimulating and entertaining as it used to be or maybe I just need different games? I loved Portal, Limbo, Monument Valley and other puzzle games, mission based games aren't really my thing honestly but I was drawn to GTA because of the online play ability.

I feel like everyone was saying this when the switch originally dropped, and I was even tired of hearing it from my friends

I don't think the Switch is replacing the 3ds. "portability" is one of the selling points, but it is nowhere near the same as a ds. I, and probably others, am afraid to take this thing out and about like I would a ds, and if I'm taking it to a friends, I pack it up in a case and take it over. I wouldn't call this "convenient" really, but it is better than lugging over a regular console.

God I hate the people who think cyberpunk is supposed to be 100% COOL NEON CITY. Check out gameplay of the SNES version of Shadowrun. It's extremely cyberpunk.
I wouldn't be surprised if the developers of CP2077 took a lot of influence from this game. It's gritty, dirty, technological, and I love it. The lingo they use in this game is entertaining as well.

I was also playing Dragonfall and it was good but I started getting bored with it and dropped it, I do that with a lot of games though.

If you play the Returns campaign, the story takes a steep dive 3/4ths of the way in. It might depend on how you feel about being second fiddle to ~iconic~ Shadowrun characters. It's not too long a story though and I'd say the game is fun.
Dragonfall's campaign is a bit long but the story is a good one, I felt. Haven't gotten around to HK yet and Boston Lockdown is a buggy mess from different developers.

What do you guys think about the Fire Emblem fanarchise? Favourite games?


I recently got into Fates (Conquest/Nohr path). First of all, the strategy aspect of the game is brutal, and I'm playing on Normal mode. I had to reset the game god knows how many times because my units kept falling, the maps were ridiculous. Another thing that had me gasping is that you literally can't grind. How the fuck am I supposed to beat those maps if my units aren't at my desired level? I had to leave out of battle severeal units because the story kept going on and getting more and more hard which lead to them to being underpowered and even outclassed. The only way to possibly grind is to buy DLC maps which I refuse to in order to freaking grind , like, no.

All these downsides led me to chose to play in Phoenix mode (fallen units ressurect with full HP at each turn) which makes me feel like a massive beta but there was no bloody way I could beat this game otherwise, under those conditions.

That's a huge shame because I am a sucker for the aesthetic of Nohr and I prefer the characters and units you get from the Nohr side, specially Effie, Peri and Niles. Also had children with the Butler, kek.

I really hope Birthright is better because I actually enjoy the story of the Nohr/Hoshido war.

No. 2372

>>2371
I've only played Awakening and Fates (all routes) so I guess I can't speak about the whole franchise but I think I can help. The best way of getting into Fates is in this order Birthright (Hoshido) ->Conquest (Nohr) ->Revelation (Spoiler). Birthright is easier and you can do some level grinding without the DLC for this. Conquest is brutal even on normal, that's the point of the route, but the maps and missions are way more varied than in Birthright so it's still fun. I bought all the DLCs because they were on sales at some point but I never used them in Conquest, and I managed to do some support grinding by doing battles online with people I met on streetpass.

Revelation is shit with shitty plot twists that make the stories in the other routes even more nonsensical, and the actual really interesting aspect of the story are locked behind DLCs anyway. And the most important part is that the maps in Revelation are full of stupid and annoying gimmicks. The localization is trash too because they tried to hard to make the games fit in the T rating in the USA and we're stuck with the same terrible localization decisions in Europe. I think you shouldn't be ashamed of playing on phoenix mode, keep in mind you can still have a game over in theory (Conquest fucking chapter 10). Do you already have Birthright or are you going to download it later?

tldr; Try to do battles online so you can support grind in Conquest and obtain more rare weapons because they're super useful. Try to unlock all of the children this way so you have more maps where you can gain experience, items, money (especially Arthur's son's map) and OP characters, if you use Mozu make her an archer because Niles, who is best boy of Fates, will be your only bow user for a long time.

I've been playing Stardew the past couple of weeks, I really enjoyed it, have about 80 hours logged, but im kind of disappointed by the late game stuff and a lot of elements feel like they weren't really thought out. I don't really like the dungeon/combat stuff which I guess isn't a big deal since you don't really have to do it but it felt unnecessary. Being married and having kids in the game is kinda weird too, they just kinda hang around the house and you don't get much interaction with either. I also find it kinda lame that for most of the events you don't have any incentive to go once you've done it the first time because nothing changes.
It's a great game overall and I don't feel like I wasted my time playing it or anything, just feel like a lot of things could be tweaked to make them much better.

Has any other farmer played Night in the Woods and LOVED it?
I know some people laugh at it being a SJW game, but I found it extremely relatable and well-written. I felt like the characters were real people and not just SJW stereotypes for representation. For example, I loved how normal the gay couple was presented. They were just two guys in relationship; each had their own quirks and issues. There was nothing obnoxious ('OMG LOOK AT THOSE PRECIOUS SMALL BEANS!!! SO GAAAAY') about it or the plot revealing that the protagonist is bisexual. I loved the art, the music, the mood of run-down city… Everything felt so real and non-forced to me. I feel like replaying the game on a non-laggy computer. On another note, can anyone recommend something similar? I have already played LiS and even Before the Storm. I heard that Oxenfree might be similar a bit, but I'm put off by the teenage drama (maybe I'm wrong?).

I never was into media featuring anthro animals, but NitW and Bojack Horseman changed that (though I'm not and never will be a furry, kek).
If you know any other media like this, feel free to rec too.

I really enjoyed it too! The dialogue felt believable. It has the kind of dialogue I wish Life is Strange had. And as someone who played all the games you talked about, I really suggest Oxenfree. It's not too heavy on teenage drama from what I remember? It was really interesting.

No. 2387

>>2386
Thank you, I will check Oxenfree after playing NitW once more. That game is so comfy and perfect for Autumn!

I liked LiS but it took me some time to play it because the forced teenspeak sort of turned me off. I ended up loving the game. Before the Storm was so much weaker though. The writing felt even more cringy than in the original games.
I found the scene with the Shakespeare play where you help your friend and can fuck-up the lines strangely similar to the one in NitW. Maybe that's just a weird coincidence.

I've heard that Kentucky Route Zero is similar in some way to Night in the Woods, but I have not played it yet, so I cannot confirm.

It has been months since I played video games and I feel like getting back into it. I love Pokemon but I never had the opportunity to complete a pokedex. I think I'll try this time by downloading Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Gold on the 3DS as well as the pokebank, completing them and transferring all of my pokemon from all the games in either Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Ultra Moon.

Sure, you're right actually because I nearly completed the Alola pokedex in Sun without transferring from previous games and it was really fun, the only pokemon I need are the ones who only evolve by trading while they're holding special items so it's a pain in the ass. But I'm trying to get some pokemon that are hard or impossible to get from the previous games such as the starters for example, which I'll trade online, and the legendaries for the most part. Also, I'm an idiot because I completely forgot that Game Freak was distributing legendaries this year so I'll have to trade to get the ones from versions I don't have.

>I tried to play Black and White and it did not pull me in… I played like 6 hours and stopped. Idk why.
I found the start of BW very slow too but after you reach that one city that's kind of like New York it gets better imo. I felt like Pokemon X and Pokemon Sun were more similar to the rest of the series with pokemon from all gens being readily available for you and even just the atmosphere of these games. Playing Sun reminded me of Colosseum because of the 3d models. I think buying a 3DS in general is a good idea if you like nintendo in general because it has a very good catalogue.

>I am really excited about the Let's Go Eevee game because I could never appreciate the newer games as much as the classic gen

Don't know if you can understand Japanese, but if so FabStyle is a Style Savvy (also shockingly fun if you've never played) clone with a dating sim built in. Someone's currently working on an English patch but progress is very slow due to some file types.
Tomadachi Collection is pretty fun too, the prequel to Tomadachi Life on 3DS. There's an English patch out there if you ever want to try it.

Some might not exactly be what you're looking for, but I also recommend the Tamagotchi Corner Shop games, Taiko No Tatsujin DS, Children of Mana, Warioware DIY, Harvest Moon DS Cute, Diddy Kong Racing DS, Bomberman Land Touch, Professor Layton series, Castlevania Order of Ecclesia & Dawn of Sorrow, Retro Game Challenge, Lunar Knights, Aliens: Infestation, and Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals.
I just realized you said DS lite, so that means GBA games too?
Boktai, Drill Dozer, Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Summon Night, Gekido Advance, and Lunar Legend.

I finally got some extra money, paid of tuition, and I love the pokemon franchise, so I really want to try the 3DS games. I don't know which one to start off with, ORAS, XY, or SM? Should I start off with ORAS to ease myself into it? I honestly have no idea about the new features that the gen 6 games and beyond have. I've been restraining myself because I want it to be a surprise..

No. 2435

>>2434
Either start with ORAS or XY, I think it's better to play these games in order of release to get used to the new features. Did you play RSE? I found ORAS way easier than Emerald so I was a bit disappointed but overall the game is still good. XY is also very easy so regardless of which game you start with in gen 6, you'll get used to the features pretty fast I think. Also, keep in mind that playing online is less annoying in gen 6 than in gen 7. And that's all I'll say since you don't want spoilers.

I'd highly recommend installing homebrew and retroarch. Warning it is a process, you need another microSD and in some cases (depending on your firmware version) a magnet to force your DS asleep at one point.

And when they finally decide to do something unexpected it's fucking shit, like how AA6 ends.

>Wait, I missed this. What's this about?
It's more about complaining about tropes and plot twists that are becoming too common in the series than actual plagiarism. I have no idea if you played Ghost Trick, which is a game by Shu Takumi, and it's really good, so I'll spoiler the rest of the post just in case:
>in the last two cases of AA5, the relationship between Athena and Blackquill as well as the plot twists and the motives of the culprit are really similar to the relationship between Lynne and Jowde, as well as the motives and identity of the antagonists.
>The antagonists in both games are foreign spies seeking a mysterious part of a meteorite who can use very advanced technology, and their plans are put to an end by a young women who is trying to help get an innocent older man who knows too much out of jail.
>Apparently Ghost Trick takes places in the same universe as AA so that makes things even worse in a way.
>Overall, Athena is literally just a fusion of Lynne and Edgeworth when it comes to her personality and backstory
>They had to recycle the whole Kurain/Fey family feud sub-plot to make AA6. It didn't feel like a sequel so much as a retelling, you just replace Apollo, Nahyuta and the princess whose name I forget with Phoenix, Mia and Maya or Pearl, Morgan and the queen of Khurain have almost the same exact motive and things get predictable super fast
>Nahyuta s also just Edgeworth 2.0, instead of being the childhood friend he's the protagonist adoptive brother now! So original
>Maya is back! Great but now instead of doing anything interesting with her in the main plot, let's just say she did some vague stuff to train and make her the accused or an indirect victim AGAIN. The DLC case is where you can have her as your assistant and that was really cool
>Edgeworth is just there for the fanservice at this point instead of having an actual part in the plot or backstory, unless we're talking about the DLC case
>Lamiroir on the verge of revealing everything to her children AGAIN but she doesn't yet

People were really shitting on AA4 back in the day but at least it tried to change things a bit to make things more exciting and give us new content. They're probably trying to do this with Apollo leaving at the end of AA6, which wouldn't be so bad if his backstory didn't feel so half-assed and unresolved with the whole Khurain bullshit. I'm aware I seem like I'm complaining but I still liked AA5 and 6, just not as much as the previous games. I feel like AA7 is going to be super predictable now, I wish we had more cases like 6-2 and 6-4 for example, instead less obligatory huge cases that ties everything together. Sorry for the sperging.

I feel like I get different experiences because I play OW on console, and usually don't start voice chat until I hear someone else. (I also usually have to get a drink or so in to reduce the nervousness and don't play comp. Mainly QP or mystery heroes).


I haven't had bad experiences–I usually end up talking to people that are 12-15 and feel bad because I'm, like, potentially twice their age. I ask them to make sure their parents are okay with them talking to someone that much older than them in the future if it is a concern, and try to limit my swearing once I learn their age.


(I've actually had parents message me back and say that their kid asked them, and appreciated me feeling a concern about the age gap and that they were okay with me continuing to play with them. I've also had another tell me that they would rather not and I said that was totally okay and like that they look out for their kid and removed them from my friends list)


I've never been harassed for being female, just confused for being a teenage boy. Are console players just more friendly? Or is it because I don't really like comp and stay out of it? (I play for fun; I don't want to get to a point where I get angry at game.)

Dumb question time:

For those with a Switch, how do you carry it around?

I had a case that had an okay amount of space, but not enough room for both a joycon grip and a pro controller. That wasn't necessarily the deal-breaker, but the black dye in the fabric was leaking into the grips of my joycon grip and the design of my card holder.

I decided to upgrade to a nicer case, something that can hold both a grip and pro controller, plus the other stuff I wanted to keep around (AC adapter, joycon straps, hori stand, game case, amiibo cards). So I bought the big Tomtoc case. I got it in today and noticed that the grip that I use (PowerA) is actually bigger than the regular Nintendo one, and won't fit in the slot unless I shove it in. Cue me cutting and sanding the foam to adjust the slot, and when I finally finish, I realize the lid doesn't close all the way, and if I push it down it pushes on the triggers of the pro controller and the loaded grip.

Just, augh. I realized this is a problem of the case being too short. Everything sticks up too much and the lid isn't deep enough to have a pocket AND accommodate for everything sticking up. I can fix the foam, but I can't fix the case height. :(

right now it really depends on how much you like zelda, ssb, and mario. you're pretty much signing up for a console that has like 10 games on it. you need to think about how bad you want to play those games before you buy it.

and btw if you're willing to give up online play, piracy is now possible on the switch and piracy with atmosphere will be possible very soon.

i just bought one and i'd like some recs. particularly girly things like i just got style savy: styling star and its the cutest thing ever, you can paint your nails, do your hair, do your makeup, dress up and dress up others i love it. i also really like project mirai dx (nendo dress up?? yessss…), animal crossing a new leaf, cooking mama sweet shop and kirby triple deluxe. i like cute things basically.

I'm a decent way through the Rune Factory 4 on 3DS and it is amazing. Sooo addicting. Garden farming, cooking, fishing & gathering, crafting, combat, exploring. You get to raise animals and of course build your love meter with different townsfolk lol. It's really super fun, much recommend!

I also really enjoy the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy games for 3DS. I grew up with bemani/ddr games and FF so it just feels so ~right~ and the music gets me nostalgic in a good way!

Another (regular) DS series I always recommend is called Lost in Blue. Idk what it is about these games but I find them really engaging and decently challenging.

I finished the game already, and I really enjoyed it - they got rid of a lot of the tedious shit Pokemon had before, and personally I really enjoyed the motion controls. But don’t get your hopes up for the postgame - there’s no national dex or expanded map, just ‘master’ trainers which all have 70+ leveled single Pokémon that you have to fight against with the same Pokémon with no items.

No. 2538

My bf and I are having fun with it, as well as our friends. I don't think it's that bad, people are just being dramatic because they were expecting an actual fallout game when it's clearly supposed to be a spin off. Like it's literally just a fallout themed survival game, don't expect more than that. They're patching in a lot of features before the end of the year like PTT and there's a huge update today for performance.

I haven't run into any severe graphical or gameplay issues, either. I'm just having fun exploring and building with bf and friends. There are quests and events and a lot of flavour stuff, though not particularly deep. As long as you don't expect it to be a polished full fallout game and like survival games you will enjoy it. It's not amazing or groundbreaking or even the best survival game out there but it's entertaining if you like the fallout universe.

yes I watched the e3 conference and heard all Todd's shilling bullshit and I still recognised the game for what it was, a shitty spin off survival game. I literally never thought it would be anything more. so unless they plan on expanding it and jerking more money out of it he was talking out of his ass. it was the same shit with TESO. I was there when people thought that was going to be a real TES game too.

>>2552
they intend on using it for TES6 too, it's gonna be a nightmare lol. it sucks that Bethesda has all my favorites IPs because all they see is dollar signs.

but if the question is "is 76 fun" yes it is if you expect nothing but a fallout themed rust.

This game. This game has brought back my hopes of playing games. It’s scenery an detail and over all play is just beautiful. I’ve probably put 50-60 hours into it so far am barely touched the story. I’ve been so wrapped in hunting and bonding with my horses and getting out fits to make Arthur a handsome devil. Best thing is I have something to talk about with guys who I sometimes over hear talking about it. I’ve had it spoiled for me the story, so it hurts to try an finish the game but I’ll get there.

The story is very basic but it's not bad. I played it a long time ago and it was really hard because it takes way too much time to gain new levels and you can't save your game inside dungeons, no matter how big they are. The system of points assigned to some spells is annoying too if you want to mostly use mages or magic attacks. It's still a very good game, if you like JRPGs in general you'll like this one.

When I say it's hard because you can't save in dungeons, I mean that you have at the end of the game you have to go through a big dungeon, you end up on the map so you can save your game, you then go through the crystal tower which is huge, you have a boss fight with a mandatory death to further the plot so DON'T TURN OFF your DS out of frustration. Then you have to explore the world of darkness with a lot of really strong bosses and then you have the final boss, or final bosses. If you can complete the game and beat the final boss, make sure you can charge the battery of your DS because I nearly lost all of my data since my DS nearly died on me during the last cutscene before the credits.

I know it's kind of forgotten now, but when DayZ came out (mod AND standalone), I was blown away by the atmosphere and scenery. The apocalyptic eerie, sereneness, the life-like sound effects, the nature and hills, the ocean, the towns, the feeling of being on your own just trying to survive and being able to do whatever you want… all of it was incredibly cool and peaceful. Traveling in that game is beautiful and the payoff is really satisfying.

Seconding The Witcher III, I'm on my second playthrough (determined to do (almost) all of the sidequests and getting a better ending) and can't stop because walking around exploring the world and finding all kinds of stuff is just too much fun. The Blood & Wine DLC is great for this as well, I really love its lighting and it feels less gritty and more fairytale-like, if that's more up your alley.
Either way the graphics are beautiful.

This game had me on such an emotional rollercoaster. I just finished it, and man, what a ride.
At first when I started playing it it was a bit meh. If I had one minor complaint, that would be the controls. Sometimes they can be frustrating. However, the landscapes, the gushing wind, and most importantly the relationship between you and trico make this game awesome. When I started playing I thought it had nothing on Ico or SotC but now I can say that it makes a worthy successor.

No. 2616

I like it because the setting, while obviously borrowing a lot of typical fantasy and medieval tropes, felt original. The places all felt "real" in a way I barely ever see in games.
That being said I mostly enjoyed it so much because of the graphics and the fact I read the books as a kid and liked seeing familiar characters and monsters in a game. The gameplay isn't bad but nothing revolutionary.

I haven't played it yet, but I heard Observer was something akin to Sherlock Holmes.
Not sure how good it is but I'm planning to get it for holidays. It's described as a psychological thriller and you seem to solve crimes.

Call of Chtulu is another game where you solve a murder. It's Lovecraftian (duh). I haven't played it either but surely will because I have a soft spot for Lovecraft. Maybe someone else will be able to give more recs.

All of the Broken Sword games are about solving mysteries, usually murder mysteries. I highly recommend them!

Also Still Life Part 1 (don't bother with Part 2, it's not very good) is a modern day murder mystery that lets you analyse crime scenes and do lots of procedural work. It's a lot of fun.

The Last Express is about solving the mystery of the death of your friend on board the Orient Express in the early 1900s. It has a very unique art style and time structure (the game takes place in real time, so you need to make sure you're in the right place at the right time in order to progress sometimes) that makes it very replayable. It's one of my favourites.

And it's an older game but the first Gabriel Knight game is also a fun murder mystery game set in New Orleans. I'd definitely recommend it.

The server just went down in flames because the admins got tired of it but recently some members made a discord so we're back to hanging out. I loved the drama in the server too, it was pretty low key but fun (he said that she said kind of stuff, or people getting together and breaking up after meeting irl, etc, the little things)

Yes please, that's why I loved Origins so much. DAI felt like nothing you did mattered and like the breach didn't really affect anything too much, just a few demons/rift here and there, even DA2 felt somewhat darker than DAI.

But I'm worried that a lot of the fans would whine, bitch and moan about it because it would be "problematic" and might have triggering content (like the female city elf origin). Still, I hope it gets darker considering what Solas is up to.

It used to be f2p but now it's p2p and DLC based.

To play it again I'd need 26€ worth of DLC to have all the new 80 cards, and if I were a new player I'd also have to buy the game, which adds 20 bucks.

Honestly, Matt was phoning it in for a while in the lps and podcasts while his solo channel had his full attention. Even in his LPs with Woolie he was just not how he used to be so I don't think the blame solely lies with Pat. Plus his gf is the one that vague posted on Twitter about Pat and tried to stir up drama. I'm more inclined to think it was his gf and not Pat's that caused this on top of other reasons. Just watching Matt's channel with her in some makes me uncomfortable with how much she talks over him and sort of ensures he agrees with her. But eh, no one really knows what happened.
I'm so upset about the disbandment because I can't get into any other lper. Tbfp had the only kind of humor I could tolerate. I wish they could've gone out with just the video since it was so graceful but Liam soured the goodbye with his twitter ramblings.

Is getting a 3ds or switch worth it?

I mainly play on the pc, but never owned a console/handheld and since I saved up some money I thought why not give it a try.

The only thing that's sort of holding me back are the games. I like LoZ and mostly play RPGs (Witcher, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed(sort of)), horror games and stuff like Devil May Cry.

I got my 3DS after I bought my Switch. I think the 3DS s great because it has a HUGE library of games. It's not the newest system BUT as I said, many, many great games with remasters of old classics. At times I use it more than my Switch

The Switch on the other hand doesn't have a that much games but has def some gems that are worth to get the system. I personally loved Breath of The Wild, my biggest reason why I got a Switch. Besides BOTW I loved Bayonetta 1+2, Mario Odyssey and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (lol). I've only played the Demo but I read a lot about Octopath Traveler and it sounds like something that you could like. (Currently on Sale at the eShop).

Both have a good reasons to be purchased.

Can't say much about the Switch since I don't have it (yet…) but I cannot recommend the 3DS enough! It's absolutely worth it to me. Like >>2686 said, the library is massive and I'm sure you'll find tons of games to keep you occupied. Plus the hacking scene is really great if you're into that.
If I were you, I'd get a good deal on a refurbished 3DS (or 2DS if you don't mind giving up some features to save more money) to get your Nintendo fix. Set aside your money and get the Switch once there are a larger amount of games that catch your eye, it's the hot new system and it isn't going anywhere.

(I hope this is alright) I have a working bios that I put in a google drive if you want it. When I went to find the file through pcsx2 it says it's a Japan bios? I'm not entirely sure why I chose that, it's been a really long time, but I can at least confirm that it has worked with all the USA games I've played, including kh2.

I assume you have a copy of kh2 already, but if not, I have a working iso if you need it.

Posting because I want to hear opinions about Yoko Taro. I was a huuuge fan when Gestalt came out but since Automata I feel kinda conflicted.

Maybe it's because a lot of really unpleasant people flocked to him and project his views on him because of the 2B lewds thing. I'm mostly feeling meh about it because he didn't make any distinction between regular porn art and degrading one, and it's especially sad when you look at 2B's story and the themes of Automata. Another one of his characters was revealed recently to have been abused and forced to crossdress as a child- the company in charge released a dakimakura of the character and the popularity got boosted ten times.

I know he has a dark sense of humor, but these things make me a bit sad. Basically I'm butthurt because I take fictional characters seriously and want some respect for them.

I loved Gestalt. Gotta be honest, Automato was a huge let down, it didn’t have any of the charm the first game had. The characters weren’t a interesting, the world was a bit meh while pretty, and the musical score is so lacking when you listen to the first one. I was really disappointed after I finished my first play through and tbh don’t have the heart to play it again - I know some people will say ‘it gets soo much better later!!’ but entertainment should capture your heart soon into the story, I have a hard time giving entertainment a second chance when they were shitty at the start/first time around

Oh, nothing special new, the joke about "send me a zip with all lewds of her" came up again and he commented something like western creators being too uptight about such things. I like sexy art, but one thing is praising good art from creators and another is just looking at a dump that also includes her being harmed or used as a toy. Might seem selfish but that kinda kills the illusion of caring for those characters, him joking he'll put her in any collab, even candy crush if he gets the money doesn't help.

>>2711
Glad to see others that feel that way, I really don't want to sound pretentious and I know lots of people loved it because it was their first Taro game. I finished all routes once and wanted to replay it in Japanese but didn't have the energy, it DOES get better around route C but it didn't hit me as hard as NieR.

Might be that too, Kaine had a foul mouth and was a parody of the sexy sidekick. Zero was in the first scene portrayed as a bloodthirsty murderer, had a strong attitude and her outfit wasn't as sexualized as the other two. 2B is sexualized because humans wanted her to look that way + the perma blindfolds in route A have a dehumanising effect on the characters.

I enjoyed Kaine's personality but I think all the excuses around her outfit (she's intersex! She needs to feel feminine! Or, it's a parody) are just that, excuses. Drakengard 1 and 2 managed to have quite sensible female designs. I think these designs were changed to be pornier in the rest of Taro's games simply because it would sell better (and of course a horny male design team.) It's a pity.
Check the crazy playable female character in D1 and compare with Zero: https://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-04/dg-arioch1.html

I know it's kind of a bait question but whatever. Personally I just don't give a shit about most triple-A titles (RD2 looks boring af to me for example) and I prefer style over realistic rendering, which I can often find with nintendo. that's about it.

I'm kinda buying the Kaine parody thing only because Replicant Nier had that shitty wannabe Final Fantasy look, oof. That's why I prefer dad Nier even if it wasn't written with him in mind, he fits the band of weird misfits better and instead of being a criticism at Japan's brother-sister trope his relationship with his daughter seems sweeter. But I digress.

Agreed with you on the designs becoming sluttier and I miss the early drakengard designs, I need to play 2 finally.

Another thing that comes to mind is how a female writer brought up some themes like bro Nier snapping at Yonah under pressure and saying she's a burden, or how Emil feels isolated because of his sexuality and Kaine's internal struggles- but it was "too dark/real" for Yoko.

Vaguely related but anyone here played the first Drakengard/Drag-On Dragon? I am really interested in giving it at shot cause of how dark it is even though I dislike the creators stating they based one character on Rei Ayanami cause she's a girl without personality, basically. I would love to hunt all 3 games though it might be a bit hard, especially with the third one. Wonder if it's worth it.

No. 2724

I have! It's pretty tedious. Kind of short, but it has different endings. There's a couple parts that get frustrating, mostly the dragon sequences, but the story is fucked up and that's what made me want to play it in the first place.

I am the one who posted about liking the female chara design in it. The actual portrayal of women is no good except the dragon who is the best character in the game. Gameplay is basic and real shitty. It is worth it if you want a real crazy and dark plot though.

I honestly don't mind about the lewds thing.
I understand all this parody of japanese media, sexualizing in almost a ridiculous way some characters. I might sound as I justify Yoko's work too much, it may be, but I carefully thought throught it since I've first known of the series years ago.

Speaking of which, I think first Drakengard is my favourite game, not as much as a game, but as an artwork. It might not be enjoyable gameplaywise, but its repetitiveness in the context, the visuals, music and characters created one of the most grimdark stories I have ever read while I am a huge grimdark slut (please, suggest more good grimdark pieces).
Automata would be my last favourite if Sinoalice didn't exist. I found Automata kind of bland and a void body of what Gestalt/Replicant was. I wish it were more pushed as his previous games were.

Sinoalice is just a badly designed game who lost everything that made the game interesting at the beginning. Stories are so cringe, characters so boring and the feel of it is just a moneygrabbing garbage for japanese men to fap to.

Style-wise I prefer sinoalice because it's more in the fantasy direction and I like some of the characters but the gameplay is indeed awful and the character designer is a lolicon with very sketchy tastes.

The only reason I'm playing is because I can get all characters I want from the gacha just by playing casually. I was so angry at Yoko when he hyped up the Automata collab by saying he cried while writing it- and then nothing actually happened. I still find Cinderella entertaining and I loved watching people flip their shit at some plot revelations about their pure faves.

No. 2730

Forgot to say I love the style too, might not be unusual for the era but the western influence and dark colours are nice.

As for grimdark games, I suppose you played Blood Omen from the Legacy of Kain series or Soul Reaver 1? If not, it will seem very edgy on the surface but it touches upon some interesting themes and plays with the player: like at first you feel sorry but eventually you accept you're on top of the food chain as a vampire and become more cruel. Soul Reaver 1 has some top notch voice acting and nice dark boss designs.

Otherwise I guess The Cat Lady, Pathologic, Rule of Rose etc. But some were already mentioned in the thread.

Sorry for major ot, does anyone know of a game (not sure if it's a game) similar to sinoalice in art style, sort of gothic and dark fantasy, that had girls in nurse outfits and oversized sweaters?

i remember feeling like there wasn't a lot to do styling star when it first came out, but after a couple weeks of playing it, then it started getting better.

And the models in trendsetters weren't plasticy and weird looking? They were like everything wrong with the Project DIVA Dreamy Theater character models but with lips and marginally better eyes.
