>>294989It is indeed an old flash game, there are videos on it that are over a decade old.
I remember playing it on the official site and there was also a spin-off with characters from the devs' other game series (La-Mulana). It's becoming a bit of a Coffee Stain Studios situation, where the meme game gets more attention than the "serious" one, I guess.

>>297053KH3 was trash, and this is coming from someone who played all of the other games (even the Ds, PSP and the PC online thingy too). You're right with saying that all the soul was sucked from it. Visually it's very bad, they fixed some lighting here and there later but it's still very odd and plastic looking. Some characters are straight up creepy (like Mickey and Hercules), I get that this was a new engine for them but they had plenty of time, but of course this is Nomura we're talking about, the one who halted FF15's production for 10 fucking years (and is still salty about it).
The story is a convoluted anti-climatic mess. It was the final chapter for the Xehanort saga but it just felt so weak. You'd expect this big flashy final fight but it's not what happens, instead it's an edgy weird dream-like shit you won't understand unless you paid attention to every little detail about some spin-off you forgot about. The Disney worlds are laughable and feel like bad adverts for the latest cashgrab Disney movie.

>>297347>The story is a convoluted anti-climatic mess.They had one job holy shit. This sucks because replaying KH1 the character development was so neat and the ending made me tear, KH2 was finally finding Riku and that ending was so perfect. The fact that they can't even manage to pull another emotional story/ending in KH3 is such bs. Though honestly not sure what would they add? I remember the convoluted "but akshully"s in other KHs and hated it so much. You have no idea how thankful I am for this confirmation because I was this close buying it next week, I'd rather keep KH2's ending as the last one in my mind.
>course this is Nomura we're talking about, the one who halted FF15's production for 10 fucking years (and is still salty about it).Every time I remember he wanted to make FF15 a musical I die laughing.

>>297412I feel you anon. I'm someone who has only played KH1 and KH2 and I felt the same way you did when playing them. KH1's character development was nicely done for what it was and I still tear up when I get to the ending kek. And KH2 though felt a bit dumb in the writing department, still managed to get me to tear up with the ending seeing how Sora was finally able to reunite with Kairi and Riku and just watching them be together. Honestly the game should've ended there but we all knew that wasn't gonna happen because of how popular the series was at this time.
When KH3's official release date was announced, I remember not feeling all that excited. My hype for the series had been on a huge decline by the time it was officially confirmed and when the game came out, I had no desire to go out and get it. Still haven't played it and after spoiling myself, I don't regret not purchasing day one because from what I've seen, it's just a bunch of BS.
>>297347The game definitely feels lifeless from what I've seen in gameplay videos. The worlds just feel dead if that makes sense?

>>297347Samefag, I forgot to add some more things I don't like about the game. There are no Final Fantasy characters, like at all. One of the things that made KH unique was the weird mix of Disney and FF + original characters. For some reason they decided to not put them in and do only Disney instead.
The designs for the protags are a huge downgrade. Riku is Noctis, Sora's hair just gets awfully spikier and Nomura's autistic hyperfixation was now PLAID so both designs had to have it.
Sora's character development gets erased. Instead he's just an idiot giggling and spouting repetitive bullshit most of the time.
Spoiler for the secret ending
it's a sequence with new characters called Verum Rex, but here's the thing. Every character that appears is a copy of FF15's cast. Nomura didn't get over it and decided to just make the same characters but in KH, which is bad but hilarious at the same time. The Noctis copycat looks like a do not steal oc.Lastly KH4's trailer already exists and I don't know what the fuck they're doing anymore.

>>297053The story was a clusterfuck in true kh fashion but the gameplay was enjoyable imo. It's the hardest to master and it feels a lot more finnicky. I cleared all the hardest bosses in kh2fm and bbsfm when I was younger but I couldn't clear the data fights in kh3, I'll probably attempt it when I get more free time.
I honestly don't think it was utterly soulless besides the Frozen world, but it's a shame there were no ff characters. Fwiw I'm usually not a fan of disney at all and KH is the only disney related media I consoom. I just love the KH cheese. That said character wise Sora was the weakest in KH3, including Riku so if you're in it for the story it's not that worth I suppose.

>>298066I did try playing ffviii and struggled a lot with the combat system so I gave up kek. I have ffix and ffvii sitting in my steam library untouched.
for me I liked ffxv because it felt like going on a roadtrip with friends. I liked the main characters, the scenery, driving around then cooking and camping with the boys, the soundtrack, the dialogue and how the boys banter with each other (the way they moved around and interacted almost felt like I was playing with real people rather than ai), plus there was tons of minigame and postgame content (fishing, photography, chocobo races, pinball, gambling, challenge dungeons, etc). the ending absolutely broke me too.
the only things that really stood out to me (as a ff noob) as bad were the grindy soulless fetch sidequests plus the way some cool characters were neglected (luna, aranea, and ravus especially) - and having to play the dlc just to learn more about the main characters/villain. oh also the pitioss dungeon was an abomination but luckily it's optional post-game content.

>>298084After playing FFXV, playing oldies becomes harder and harder since it's alot more beginner-friendly and everything is actually explained kek. I recommend that you watch cutscenes gameplays
like I did because the grind is so bad.
Totally agreed on pros and cons. But in my humble opinion they threw the ball on the writing which made fair amount of FF fans rage quit the franchise. One thing specifically was really early but we knew we were fucked; So you have a gunslinger, Butler/Chef/Assassin/driver/Nanny all in one, buff body guard with giant sword and shield AND a magical prince, right? Remember when Ravus found Noctis and gang in one of the military bases? Remember when he bitch punched him that he hit Regalia? His gang didn't do shit and stayed in their places just standing there.. wouldn't Ignis pull him back behind him or Gladio to jump infront of him or something? That stuck like sore thumb and so out out of character, which is the selling point iirc, 4 bros looking out for each other and all. (And many many more things jfc all memories are flooding back in)
Though to be fair I played it day one until Gladio's episode release then ditched it because it was buggy as hell, extremely slow loading and loads every 1 min for 1 min and was so bareboned. But I watched the rest of the episodes and maybe they patched the game enough for it to be good? The cult following thing? I legit hope do because I don't think I'll like the new one.

I played it on my older pc via steam and did the dlc for prompto, ignis, gladio and ardyn.

It's such a charming game with interesting chars imo and embodies a true fantasy. Battle system is a pretty straightforward turn based system so requires forethought and a brain unlike recent ffs where you just smash attack and done. Also has some fun side quests and hidden secrets.

>>298220>Let's fucking goooo that's enough to get me back lolYeees please do! So many people don’t know about these updates (the patched the game with new things all the way to 2019!) and keep pointing out issues about the gameplay that have been added. I guess it was too late since people played it at launch, got disappointed and never touched it again. It literally feels like a whole new game when you switch between the characters. There’s so many new combat techniques to learn that are unique to each character.
I’m gonna be really annoying and list what I think are great additions they made to ffxv here:
>unlock the ascension ability to switch between party members (you have to unlock it, only after that do you get the menu in pic related) >episode ignis, episode prompto and episode ardyn are really good and complete the overall story experience >regalia type-d fucking monster truck is super fun (ask Cindy for it) >new story scenes in chapter 12 about the Astrals >new story scene in chapter 5 with the bros discussing Ardyn>regalia type-f, a literal flying car. So now you can fly around the map in the sky. (Ask Cindy for it). >new car types and and character switch comes with new voicelines between the bros No. 300765

BTW is 9 significantly less coomery than 12? I try not to look into the characters too much before starting a game because I don't want to get spoiled, and Fran and Ashe's designs were both disappointing to me.

Vintage story has a bit of a difficult learning curve, it looks like Minecraft but has a different way of progressing which is looking at your handbook most of the time or videos to be honest because you have no fucking idea how to make pottery, but once you get through that hurdle it's very comfy and less aggravating.

Capcom Declares That “Simply Translating Games Developed Under Japanese Norms Can End Up Hurting Users”

As more and more in Japanese game developers kowtow to the ever-growing censorious demands of Western markets, Capcom have revealed that their in-house localization efforts work off of the belief that “games developed under Japanese norms can end up hurting users.”

RELATD: ‘Dynasty Warriors’ Developer Koei Tecmo Creates Dedicated Quality Assurance Team To Handle “Everything From Functional Bugs To Local Culture And Social Issues”
Like Koei Tecmo earlier this week, the Mega Man developer’s editorial intent was recently brought to public attention by Twitter user @Mondblut1984, who discovered the information on the ‘social sustainability’ section of the company’s official Investor Relations page.

First published sometime around January 2022 (per the Internet Archive), the page in question details Capcom’s commitment towards “serving as a responsible and trusted member of society”, specifically in regards to their “relationship with customers”.
Therein, Capcom provided insight into how this relationship factored into their game development, with the company behind the Street Fighter franchise noting that their attentions were focused on two elements: “in-game purchases” and “localization and culturalization”.

While their rather standards efforts towards the former area are best summed up by their declaration that, “In principle, we minimize gacha elements in the mobile games we develop; in our home video games, we provide any content required to enjoy the full game free of charge, while offering some additional content at low cost,” it is in their plan for the latter that Capcom showed their hand.
“Capcom games are enjoyed worldwide,” they explained. “In the fiscal year ended March 2022, the percentage of home video games sold overseas was 83.1%. Naturally, translation (localization) of video games developed in Japanese is required so that game players around the world can enjoy them.”
“The volume and importance of localization is increasing year after year due to factors such as improvements in game machine performance, support for online gameplay, and an increase in the number of languages accompanying a more diversified, global audience,” Capcom continued. “As such, Capcom’s localization team is involved in game development from the initial stages.”

“By carrying out localization concurrently with development, rather than following completion of the Japanese language version as had been done in the past, Capcom is able to launch games simultaneously around the globe,” write the Resident Evil developer.
Concluding their statement with a disappointing bombshell, Capcom happily informed potential business partners, “What is more, depending on the country, simply translating games developed under Japanese norms can end up hurting users unexpectedly due to historical, religious, or cultural differences. As such, we focus on employing staff from around the world to culturize the games so that they can be enjoyed by all, regardless of locale.”

>>301553I really loved "Harvest moon DS" and "harvest moon tale of two towns". Harvest moon DS is a 2d game and while it is a more challenging game, it's very cute and nostalgic for me, and the music is great. Tale of two towns is a 3D game that has some pretty cute bachelor's in it (which the original havest moons where lacking IMO, they only ever had a lot of really cute bachelorettes). It's also a bit easier than the DS version.
I also really loved "harvest moon island of happiness". It's a good balance between the two I mentioned earlier, so maybe try that one first… Plus it has Vaughn…

Looks like they're remaking the FF7 games into a single mobile game? Idk how they'll implement it but it's apparently going to have gacha shit. I'm really interested in seeing more of Sephiroth's past but if they make it pay to play there will be no reason to not just emulate the original, even if they improve the graphics.

>>302842NTA but you have a pretty warped perception of what an average woman looks like, if you think your pic is "average". The other character looks average or below average to me (not "hideous") but maybe because you're not used to seeing women like that, you have higher beauty standards for other women. I see nothing wrong with her design.
It's pretty telling that scrotes don't give a single fuck about male characters being fugly but so many women itt are seething over a character that looks like any normal irl woman without any makeup or surgery. Why does it bother you so much having to see a single character (male or female) that isn't conventionally attractive? Ever think about that?

There's no gay sex scene. Dion is gay and kisses his boyfriend on-screen at some point. No clue if it's a quick peck on the lips or if they're passionately making out for 5 minutes straight like some anons on /v/ said though. They adopt an orphan girl at some point to make it extra yaoi. There's a scene between Clive and Jill, we don't see them fuck but they're naked outside and hugging and all lovey-dovey after they do. Some people compared that to Cloud and Tifa allegedly fucking before the final dungeon in FF7 except way more in your face and in HD but I never finished that game so no clue if it's really that similar. I have no idea if seeing Clive's HD butt cheeks is also another reason why the game is banned. There's some villain who has sex with a shapeshifting creature so we see him eat out the blonde femme fatale character at first, who then shifts into another male character during or after that, and then into the guy's dead mother, in a scene that would make Freud come back from the dead. That scene is the most explicit I guess, it's just not subtle. No. 303752
>>303450I agree they look pretty, but they just don't look like VTMB to me. They look like plain, dim environments with some fog. There's no exaggerated gothic architecture, no gargoyles everywhere for no reason, and everything looks super clean and sleek but also super stiff.
I was watching the E3 demo again and I think
>>302641 is a pretty good guess for how it'll go if they do ever finish the game, too serious and too safe yet still misogynist and tone-deaf (check the newscaster audio at the beginning of vidrel, about how
15 women were found at an apartment above a massage parlour, being kept in there to be "used as sex slaves." The news bits in the first game were mostly jokes about the in-game quests or references to other horror media, so where does that fit in?)
Anyway, Paradox doesn't even have the game listed on their website anymore so we'll see how it goes. I kind of hope they wait a while and just quietly drop it.

>>304895I played Tales of Wind a few years ago, during release.
It's not worth it. It's VERY p2w and at first, you don't notice this because the game usually makes you log in in a new server (I think they make new servers every few weeks), and when they make a new server there's like a… level cap that goes away as days pass. So at first you will only be able to get to level 45, and then two days later, the cap will expand to level 50, and so on.
As the level increases, you will start to notice that whales get stronger rather quickly, while you get left behind.
This wouldn't be that much of a problem, if it weren't because guild wars happen every few days, they are random. So if your guild doesn't have any whales and you happen to fight against russians, you are gonna get fucked in the ass, kek.
In the end, it becomes frustrating. It's like you are playing for nothing, wasting your time trying to get good loot just to get wrecked by a russian player that dumped 500$ in the game.
As for the social aspect… eh. I got lucky and found a guild full of adults from my country, but I believe the majority of players are underage. We chatted through Telegram and Discord and liked the guild wars, until we got tired of whales wrecking our asses. Eventually, we stopped playing and the guild got closed.
Have you tried Aura Kingdom? I think they released an app, although the original MMORPG is for PC. I have always found someone to talk to there, people are usually friendly, to be honest. Maybe you could check it out. Whales never bothered me in that game.

As a little girl I played those weird stat sims on newgrounds though so I'm biased towards this type of shit.

>>305892I was being hyperbolic for "it has pro-communist themes". Supposedly it's the one ideology in the game that is given relative grace and gravitas compared to how others are depicted - often satirically or with contempt (i.e., moralism) - except with a deep layer of irony. There's a certain character I won't go into because of major spoilers, but the narrative frames him as being a last bastion of conviction or even a bit of a martyr, and…it's ridiculous to me because the only actions he makes in the context to the plot makes him seem like a weak, fickle man to me.
Hah, I also wish I had some juicy dev gossip for you. All I have is that apparently the devs, or at least one, did actually willfully blunt/roast the communist themes to make it more palatable for its otherwise capitalistic market. Oh and considering the lightning in the bottle chaos in this game I am not surprised a lot of drama went down with the studio.

Also, this is very, very off the cuff but maybe look into games like Wadanohara. I quite liked it and it's spooky/kind of fucked up, adorable, atmospheric (underwater and moody), and a walking sim.

>>306067I've heard the devs are "communist doomers", sort of post-left or something like that, so the mocking of what they see as failed movements and certain attitudes within the left makes sense.
>>306070Nonna, even if you disagree with the system you still have to make a living out of something. It's not hypocritical to make some money selling a product, and at the same time think that we should ditch money altogether (while knowing that's not possible yet). It's like hating radfems who hate female beauty standards but still wear makeup when they're socially required to do so because life/work/whatever is easier that way.

Nonnas, what games/franchises would you recommend? I am all about worldbuilding, lore or just cute characters. I love it when games have detective/dystopian setting, too (eg DBH, Papers, Please, Not for broadcast, Disco Elysium) Finished DMC5, got obsessed with it (and V…). At least i got Vergil DLC now. Been thinking of trying Resident Evil because of Leon fan-arts on Twitter. I love Yakuza with my whole heart, too… Maybe getting Judgement will be worth it? But i do love me some fanservice and pretty men… so i am just torn between whatever i want.

Tomorrow is the last panel from hell, and I feel like it'll be bittersweet - I've been following its development for year now.

Thoughts on FFXVI? I'm around 1/3 of the way through and it hasn't fully held my interest, despite my being a fan of the series since childhood. Will it get better? And was anyone else not shocked at the dramatic reveal of Clive being Joshua's killer?

I fucking hate modern RPGs. I was playing D:OS2 the other day, and all dialogue in that game is "look at how verbose and in your face I am." Every fucking character has to have at least one zinger prepared, but also a needlessly tragic backstory.
And don't get me started on the actual gameplay. It's made to feel lime an immmersive sim, where you can do whatever you want if you're creative, but you're really forced to dance by the dev's tune; make the bad guy stand on colored surfaces, and do every side quest so you're not underleveled in the fight at the end of each act. Same goes for hoarding gear, which is leveled like in an MMO, with 100% random bonuses, and becomes obsolete after 2 hours of game play.
It really puts things into perspective when widely acclaimed games like these are considerably worse than the dumpster fire that the Pathfinder games were.

If the dev is not a troon already he (I'm assuming he's a man after all the amounts of dicks I've seen) he will troon out soon: he said Marina his favorite character and that's a huge red flag.
There are also trannisms in the (pretty awesome) art direction, like the deranged goddess of fertility sporting phalluses in her design instead of just vulvas.

You have plenty of great playable female characters there (Abella, Karin, Olivia), you would be seriously missing out if you don't give in a shot just because Marina exists. My first playthrough had me go in completely blind, she wasn't part of my team, didn't realize there's any troon backstory until I went to check out the community. Also given the game's story and how it is constructed I honestly can't imagine other characters being into her being a big part of it or being portrayed as "normal feelings" since nothing in this game is normal; spoiler for non playable character coming in later in the game

Paralives is gonna suck. The building and decorating will be great because of Unity engine. If you look at other games that are made in Unity (eg. Two Point Campus/Hospital) that also have building capabilities, Paralives have the exact same ones, maybe just a bit more in-depth. Unity engine and the artists are 100% carrying this game. So far we have seen ZERO gameplay footage. It is just all optics. Their marketing tactics are great and everyone is eating it up. If you even ASK for gameplay footage and you express concern towards not having seen any, their fanbase will eat you whole and accuse you of being a horrible person because "they're such a small team and you shouldn't pressure them". I don't think the dude who is making this could get an in-depth communication system going like we've seen in the Sims 2. And i'm not even sure how deep you could go with that because of Unity. Unity engine also comes with restrictions, as do all engines, which is why it is always smarter to build your own engine so you can tune it to your needs. I think he is very aware of this, which is why they are pushing the building so hard when releasing tiny snippets of what is possible in their game. They probably think that as long as the building aspect of the game is great, most people will forgive shitty and lifeless gameplay mechanics. Life By You will have the same problems (also made in Unity). And don't even get me started on how the characters look so horribly ugly in both games. How is that even possible in todays age? Just go on Fiverr and you will find dozens of artists who could come up with something better. I'm absolutely devastated by the realization that i will never get to see a great Sim game that is a mix of the Sims 2 and 3 with modern graphics in my life time and it sucks.

Fucking christ, I haven't played this game since season 18, but even now D2 players and their whining has somehow made its way onto my timeline, and not a god damn thing has changed.

>>312393Sorry, I didn't formulate it properly, I meant getting used to the playstyle rather than levels being easy. I don't play that many PC games and when I do, I tend to use the arrows. You're able to use them in the menu of HLM 1, so not being able to do it in the game too confused me.
But after playing a few more levels, it's exactly how you said! Basically just rushing in, memorizing the area and developing a system based on it. My favorite is to just lure them all to a spot with gunshots, like a true newbie kek.
I only just finshed the level with the restaurant/axe/the janitors/the black mobster on the toilet. But my least favourite so far was the level with the explosive room, purely because of the last two mobsters behind the barricades. I died so many fucking times trying to get them with machine guns.

Anyway, it was some D2 news account throwing a fit and denouncing Bungie, so I got curious, read up on the actual Bungie article, then checked the subreddit because it had been a while and I was interested to see how they were taking it. Low and behold, reddit scrotes continue to scrote. That's what I get for having expectations, I guess!
I dunno, it's irritating to see how the fandom culture around D2 still hasn't improved despite–or in spite of–how well the game is apparently doing and I let my temper get the best of me. Apologies!

He is pretty scary in your first playthrough but once you get how he works it's pretty silly. Alternatively, you can shoot him with a magnum in the head and he will stay on his knees, though I don't recommend wasting ammo on him, just lure him to open spaces and go around him. RPD safe rooms, the STARS room and the clocktower are safe for you to hide from him. He doesn't follow you beyond the RPD. Hope this helps, I know it's scary at first but that's some of the fun of it. He is the scariest thing in the game imo.

>>314388NTAYRT but I'm enjoying what little I've seen of the romances. Just got past Act 1 because I've been taking my time. Since all the companions are bisexual, they all have the potential to be attracted to you, which is only really a problem if you end up getting high approval for all of them. Even then, not every character wants to sleep with you immediately despite what some people are pushing.
The romances are generally slow burn, and Astarion and Lae'zel are the only ones you can sleep with immediately (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but their actual romances develop a lot slower from what I'm seeing. They're more of the fuck first, romance later type. With the other characters, though, you can flirt with them a lot, but they won't sleep with you just yet.
Generally though, people are over-exaggerating the horniness, I think. If you don't want someone flirting with you, you can just tell them that. There are options made for that exact reason. And some of the stuff that people are saying are romantic feel more platonic to me.

>cringey translators trying to make a joke more localized and failing. They often do that to replace completely normal, neutral and serious lines though. When a serious or dramatic scene happens and suddenly a character says a sarcastic joke that's OOC and would make Joss Whedon himself cringe it ruins the entire scene. Best case scenario you have a comedic scene where the characters talk naturally and argue without making pop culture references with each other but the localizers will explain the joke, will make the characters say something very unfunny instead and will make it unrelated to what's going on onscreen. I've seen some screenshots of the Kiseki games and it's amazing how unfunny American localizers are. I also forgot to mention MGS1 vs MGS2 localization and how the guy who did it for MGS1 changed a lot of small things to make it more serious or make it seem more like he personally would imagine a mid 30s fed up soldier being used as a pawn to the point where some players found MGS2 weird in comparison, and Kojima was really annoyed at this and iirc he told the localizer to not randomly change shit next time. But then again I wanted to give more recent examples.
>99% of these things didn't make people care in the westBecause many people don't even know there's a huge difference between the original and the butchered localization.
tldr; I don't get how the exact same people praising the genital customization and bestiality in that new Western RPG are the exact same one praising wholesome gay pairings or entire plot points and character development being changed or censored in other games.

>>314826That's the thing: Xander/Marx' inconsistent characterization is part of Fates' shitty original script. The story is dogshit in japanese too, I have no idea how you can believe otherwise when we have documentation and multiple people who read both scripts confirmed it. Hell I played the awful Fates' fantranslation and it's the same story as the Treehouse/NOA version, just with bad and stilted dialogue.
Treehouse also did not touch Marx' supports. He is a noble big brother in the original ones and it still clashes with how he's Garon's lapdog through most of the routes' main stories.
The characters who got changed are mainly Effie, Niles/Zero and Soleil. The rest of the changes are mostly certain supports like Saizo/Beruka, Silas/Hana and Kagero/Azama.
You could easily bring up these complaints instead: Effie turned from a sweet powerhouse to a roided muscle girl, Niles' dark sadism and perversion being basically gutted from the game, Soleil turning down male love interests in her S supports except for Forrest, Forrest being a little bitch in his join chapter, various faux feminist changes to many small details, the complete removal of sexy swimsuits and of the crappy petting minigame…
It was an awful localization that removed plenty of content without replacing it with anything. But the main script is the only thing it did right, it perfectly translates the original's garbage story. Treehouse did many things wrong but Fates' story is all Intelligent System's fault.
No. 314833
>>314831Xander barely opposes his father. He seems like a schizo in European languages because American localizers didn't like that he was a coward, a little bitch and had massive daddy issues that would make Freud roll in his grave. He spends the whole game knowing that Garon is fucked in the head, that he's a terrible ruler and that something's wrong with him because he wasn't like that years ago, and yet he willingly obeys his father no matter what because that's his duty as his son and as the heir. All of this is consistent, because the only time in Conquest when he decides to act is when it turns out that Garon was dead all along and was zombified by another entity. Same shit in the shitty DLC route when he hears Garon saying stupid shit that makes it obvious he's not the actual Garon. Otherwise he would have let him slaughter more people while thinking "man, my dad sucks, too bad I'm his son I guess."
Meanwhile in English he's always like "muh little princess, father is a terrible man! but I'll let him do whatever he wants because uhhh I'm a retard! Oh but no I think he didn't do anything wrong now! Oh btw little princess uwu do you remember the 20 times I told you dad was evil and we can't do anything against him? Well if you were wrong about him being possessed by something else while mass murdering people then I'll kill you bitch!" Keep in mind that in the scene in English when he says he'll kill you for being a traitor or whatever right before you fight Garon transformed as a monster in the throne room, in Japanese he just says there will be consequences against the MC if the MC is wrong not because he wants to, but because the MC needs evidence before making this kind of accusations. Don't even get me started on the long speech he does about justice that's so ooc it's hilarious. In the og he just says there's no justice, life is unfair and good people die all the time and that's it, he keeps it short. He's noble while being much more of a anti-hero.
I'm not getting a PS5 because it's not in my budget but I checked some FF16 playthrough and it's hilarious how Dion reminds me of what the localizers tried to make Xander into. They're actually opposites. It's just a reference if you're curious or want to play that game someday. Anyway you can dislike Fates' story for being badly written but blame the right people over this. I could imagine people disliking the story as it should have been presented in the first place as well but many people would have complained way less over it being inconsistent imo. Maybe they would have complained about it being boring or melodramatic instead.
>Treehouse also did not touch Marx' supports.They did, but way less than in the main story. I do remember some minor changes like him being slightly less explicit when he basically tells Nyx he's suicidal after executing some unnamed siblings who tried to assassinate him and others. And that's relevant because he commits suicide by cop in Birthright and you're supposed to see how it all comes together in either scene depending on which route you played first. Or there's his supports with Charlotte where he says he never imagined finding love and getting married to her and she's like "omg are you saying you're actually gay?". That's obviously less impactful than what I said earlier.
>You could easily bring up these complaints insteadI agree with all you said but didn't have time when I made my first post.

After over three months after it's release, I finished most of the main story in Tears of The Kingdom. I take this game as slow as possible because for me there is only one first impression and I want to make it as special as possible. I already adored BOTW but TOTK improved so much! I'm especially happy that the story is somehow more complex than in BOTW, so I'm really excited about the ending. Ngl I teared up a bit when I collected all dragon tears. Even when I knew who the white dragon was, the transformation scene and the last shed tear with the flowers really touched me. The Gerudo Temple was the absolute best imo, bc it was the perfect fusion between old and new Zelda games. I still have to do some main story quests and explore the rest of the depths and finally beat some Gleeoks. I'm already over 200 hours in and I think I will beat my botw score of 285 hours. I will continue to take it slowly bc god knows for how long we have to wait for a new zelda game after that, even when I really, really, really want to know how the story ends.
I also like to mention that ganondorf's design in this game is just top tier.

I don't get it everytime I see someone saying that FF16 is just like GOT because I have never watched that show, I just know some vague things about it. I'm watching a playthrough of FF16 because no PS5 for me so everytime characters talk about war and politics and betraying a country and its people for another I just think that well, you know, it's the typical fantasy plot you'd find in a JRPG, like in other FF games or in FE games, but in HD. I haven't see people complaining about it, they're just like "oh it's just like in GOT" during some cutscenes. Like at that point I assume that if FF2 were an HD game with the exact same plot but more detailed cutscenes and dialogs (for example if they took some of the canon stuff from that super old novel and put it in the game) people would say the exact same thing. I don't think you'd have to add any sex scene in it, just keep the scene where Firion is seduced by the fake princess and nearly gets stabbed and you'd have the same comments about it.

>>314950I think that might be a bit of an overreaction, boob sliders primarily exist in more nsfw games (the ones that let you go from tiny to massive) and like most of the ones I've seen in modern gaming don't let you go to either extremes just like B-D (not emoji). Not really hitting where I lie either but in every game I can get breasts my size it's jiggle physic simulator.
If we really look at it, there isn't much room for body customisation at all, can't be fat, can't be rail thin, but you must have a bangin' bod not regular person bod. It's actually a lot less in depth than I imagined, I spent more time on the cyberpunk one.
The genitalia is only for a small amount of people who aren't going to use Male normal or Female normal but it gets them praise so why not. Even though a character definitely called mine a lady lmao.

he has sex with the player character even though he has a magic bomb in his chest and only reveals it after they already banged. If you get mad at him for not telling you he basically shrugs it off and is like "I wanted you and that's why I didn't tell you" without even showing any remorse. Kudos to the devs for making such a flawed character but god, he annoys the fuck out of me with his selfishness.

I feel like the game pushes me to use Shart a lot. I didn't in the begining and all the banter between my party members stopped before I even went to the goblins. But the moment I put her in, she constantly has something to say about a place we are in or banters away.
And can my companions stop cucking me? I'm trying really hard to romance people and get their approval and it's taking time. BUT, if I have SH in my party they start sounding like they all wanna bang each other lol, poor Tav not included. At the begining it felt very nice for female players but the more I play the more I see male ROs as kinda sucky? Are female ones any better?
>>315450I personally feel SH is the most moid pandery "tsundere waifu". She is also feeling like a canon main character, writers favourite probably. Karlach on the other hand feels like an afterthought, like she's a DLC character. Even the animation upthread doesn't have her in it for some reason.

I'm seriously considering getting a PS5 later this year or maybe at the beginning of the next year. I want to move to my own place first, I have a tiny TV so I will most likely replace it so while I do have the money for a PS5 and some games right now is not the good time. FF16 makes me want to have one but since it's compatible with PS4 games I'm considering getting other games I wanted to play for a long time. Here's what I would also like to play
>FF15 and FF7 remake (I want the other FF remasters on the Switch because I like playing on handhelds a lot more)
>Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes
>DMC5, and maybe get the previous games as well since my PS2 is dead
>maybe Kingdom Hearts as a whole, I always wanted to play them
>Yakuza? I'm not sure where to start with this though
What else would you suggest, based on your own personal preferences? I like JRPGs a lot but not only so I'm pretty open-minded but please don't recommend ugly Western AAA games that require like 5 DLCs to be actually complete and that force you to play with an internet connection. I don't want to play online stuff in general anyway.

So I think I'll play them first if I can and if I like them enough I'll play 7 and 8 after.
I don't think I've ever played roguelike games so I don't know if I'll enjoy the genre but I'll keep these titles in mind just in case. I know they're also on the Switch but games on the Switch are usually more expensive iirc so idk.

The old Resident Evils also only had English voice acting because the games took place in America, so Capcom wanted it in English.

Holy shit can Gale leave me ALONE already? I can't believe this middle aged incel has been chasing me down nonstop even though I'm in a relationship with Astarion and have rejected him every single time he tried to start something. I never even selected any nice options again after the second time it happened. During the Tiefling party I rejected him to sleep with Astarion, then I rejected him during the Weave thing, then rejected him again when he compared me to his cat. Now he invited me to go hang out under the stars and tried to bang me (I quick saved beforehand because I could tell this is where it was going). And every single time his ass guilt trips me for not being into him.
He must be bugged, right? There's no way it's intended for him to still thirst for Tav even after getting turned down so many times. I haven't even had him in my party for a good 10 hours of playtime now and he's still probably secretly sniffing my bedroll whenever I leave camp. Those magical boots I fed him must have been aphrodisiacs or something.

I personally really liked Gale's romance. He's very cute and dorky and my heart melts at some of his dialogue with how much he adores you. All companions have very good voice acting but Gale's voice especially is just soothing to listen to. (A shame Wyll got a new actor, I liked how much warmth radiated off his old voice.) Lae'zel and Jaheira were very fun to have as companions and are also my favorites.

All the previous trailers showed the original one, I wonder if it was a late change… The new ones are an eyesore, they just occupy too much visual space on the dark outfits, the original armbands gave the perfect amount of accent color. I usually play with costumes so isn't like I will see them much, but it sucks that they will get slapped on every official art and merch and throw off the whole color balance.

I have only owned Nintendo consoles because no money, so that's pretty much all I know. But for the past years I have been findind out more 3rd party/Sony games I love, so I think I will be fine with just a PS5, I'm not gonna pay for a half-assed console that won't be able to run stuff.

What the fuck is going on with the FF16 localization I'm so confused:
>script written in Japanese first
>translated into English with a lot of small things changed, removed or added
>Japanese script is slightly changed to reflect that I guess the writers were inspired by the English speaking localizers so they worked together
>dubbed in English first, then in Japanese, then in other languages
>localized in Arabic but game banned in Saudi Arabia and maybe other Arabic speaking countries because it has a plot-relevant gay couple tenderly kissing in one scene
>French translation is basically half from the Japanese script and half from the English one and adds their own lines Dion and Terrence are even more sappy than usual kek
>half of the characters in French sound like some bad anime, GTO and FMA 2003 had much better dubs two decades ago, the rest sounds ok
>Torgal is now Targol(?), probably to not be sued by the publishing company that hold the rights to Thorgal, some Belgian comics
>Olivier becomes Octavien or some shit even though Olivier is some basic bitch male name, everyone here knows at listen a dozen of Olivier
>Dion is still Dion despite 99.999% of French speakers thinking about Céline Dion when seeing that name, Benedikta still has her name even though 99% of us would think of the mayonnaise brand when hearing her name

I'm enjoying Fear & Hunger but the fandom is really annoying. No offence to nonas who posted about F&F here but I find the sluttification of Cahara and all the memes obnoxious, especially since he's a fan favorite among TIFs. I like that he's objectified but the way people go about it is so porny and misogynistic (picrel with the joke being that he's pretty much a girl) and I can't help but feel like he wouldn't get the feminization treatment if his character wasn't the one getting raped so much. He's also getting the 'golden retriever bf' treatment (another meme I absolutely hate) and it's so off putting to me lol.
I really like the atmosphere and the story but tbh it's not that groundbreaking. I mean I still think it's very good but people are acting like no one's ever done anything like that. I think the lore is not all that original and obviously inspired by other media and religions which isn't a bad thing. I think the gameplay and the visuals are much more interesting than the lore.

>>319803God same, they replaced the whole eng cast for the P3 remake & some of them are so annoying. I only play with the original voices because 2 of the VAs are very dear to me, so I couldn't care less about the eng ones. I'm tired of seeing their faces and forced tweets they make so people draw them with the actual characters.
In general, I dislike how the western side of everything (be it VAs or writters) interact with the fanbase so much, I feel there should be a healthy distance between both, they're workers not influencers who need constant advertising. Like you said, it's specially bad because sometimes these interactions force writters to make story changes and all.
No. 319874
>>319872I'm not looking forward to the P3 remake at all because of the game itself, I can replay P3P whenever I want anyway even though I have the PSP version with only the mediocre English voices, but as soon as I knew the dub would be made by a new cast I was sure this would happen. It's so tiring. At least Atlus doesn't butcher their localizations too much besides making characters who call each by their last names in Japanese call each other by their first names in English, and hopefully the P3 remake won't be butchered either but given the kind of new fans they've attracted who knows.
There's a cutesy mobile game about cookies or some shit that's popular with girls in general, including fujoshi, and I saw one of the voice actors who's a gay guy sperging about fujoshi and yaoi being
problematic (you know, his audience) and how he wants to voice characters from "queer" anime… by posting promotional pictures of yaoi like Given, made by fujoshi. Like even if you dislike yaoi and fujoshi you can see how he's a liability for the devs at the very least.
>they're workers not influencersSome of them nowadays are literally just youtubers or just know someone who knows someone who gave them a role.
No. 319878
>>319876Your post is unrelated to my initial point. My first post was about how Western voice actors of Japanese games like to push their shitty "memes" and jokes and headcanons on Western fans as if we fucking cared because they didn't make the games. I'm clearly not talking about pieces of shit like Takahito Sakurai who cheated on his wife AND his mistresses or Tatsuhisa Suzuki cheating on his much more famous wife with a crazy fangirl and attempting suicide because it costed him roles and he got harassed for being a cheater because they're actual scandals and unrelated to their jobs.
>Eastern male seiyuus/actors can maintain jobs even if they're abusers, racist, misogynistic, etc.Depends on a lot of things, regardless of fame, if they're suspected of taking drugs with no proof their entire lives are over (applies to literally everyone there), if they're cheaters it depends on if it's a normal affair or if they're even more heinous than usual, then you have cases like the guy who voices Otoya harassing a new seiyuu when doing another role and getting away with it somehow, then you have Tsudaken apologizing to his fangirls for… being happily married and having kids and raising his kids with his wife. But again, completely unrelated to my initial point.

>>319874Yeah I was dissapointed with the remake as well when I saw it wasn't a complete version (and my heart breaks a little everytime I see a cool new art or scene and remember FeMC won't have one as well), but I can't like, P3 is a game very close to me and I love what we have seen of the remake so far. Per usual Atlus seems to refuse opening EU preorders though, so I don't know if I will be able to get it on release kek.
Oh god, are you talking about Cookie Run? I used to love it, but due to my phone being from 2016 it stoped supporting the game shortly after CR Kingdom released. The fandom was unbearable back them, but from the little I have seen it seems nowadays is x10 worse.
Laughting at that gay guy, the company just hires anybody huh…. I remember there were 2 canon lesbian characters, which is fine, but they seem to go full-on woke now and do anything to appeal that crowd since they give them money, some months ago I saw on a thread they included made-up pronouns on the Spanish translation for "non-binary" cookies.
>>319876We are talking about VAs being anoying on social media. Everyone is aware men can mantain their jobs even if they're scum, both in Japan and everywhere else in the world, that's besides the point. A person doesn't have to be a rapist for you to cringe at them.

>>320070I've seen what that same guy did for FF14 and I think it's safe to assume he's being weird for changing a lot of lines for no reason whatsoever, making characters speak way more formally than they usually do or even like Shakespeare rose from his grave and got hired by Square Enix, making characters sounding sarcastic or bitchy instead of enthusiastic or just neutral which makes the characters seem very different. A friend of mine is very into FF14 and showed me a bunch of cutscenes and in Japanese, English and French and basically all the languages/localizations are similar to each other except for the English localization which makes shit up all the time. I'm talking about replacing one line with one entire paragraph, or young looking female characters speaking like young adults in all the languages and yelling like a chainsmoking grandma in English (I think it was a fairy who spoke like that, it was so bad I laughed for like 5min straight). To be fair it's not nearly as bad as when I started FF5 in English and could barely play because some of the characters had pirate accents and it was unreadable so I dropped it early.
>highly encouraging JP players to give the game in English a try after their first play through. I don't think I've seen any of them do that. At most they retweet scenes in English with "these lines are different it's weird/funny/interesting!"

>>320994Good looking list so far, makes me smile to see so many games I love on it already. I would personally add:
>Theatrythm, Rhythm Heaven, Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Treasure, Nintendogs, Bratz: Rock Angelz, Bratz: Forever Diamondz (those were the only two Bratz games I played, idk how the other ones are), Picross, Yoshi games, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, Horizon Zero Dawn, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls Online [MMO], Cities Skylines (producer and lead designer are women, most streamers are women), and Control [2019]+1 to Bloodborne but with the disclaimer that it's autistically difficult. You wouldn't think from first appearances that it has a sizable female fandom but it does.
If you're recommending Yakuza, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology might be a good fit too. A little hesitant because there is some scrotey stuff included in one of the DLCs [Bathing in Mana] (not as severe as Yakuza has) but I feel the DLC balances it out with pandering equally to women too. The original is a bit too grindy for my tastes but I feel the remake + DLC makes the pace perfect. I just don't have the patience or time for the grinding that old RPGs expected out of you.
Also you might want to put a note that the Harvest Moon games changed to being called Story of Seasons around 2013. Picrel is the newer remake of the old Harvest Moon: Wonderful Life + Another Wonderful Life combined.
The newer Natsume games without Marvelous Inc's involvement that are under the Harvest Moon name are NOT like the old Harvest Moon games. They're awful.

Maybe more masculine for things like Among Us, more feminine for FFXIV.
Depends on the community, there's a lot more popular Asian Women who play games like this, that's primarily where I see women playing this mainstream like twitch.
But if we're making a feminine game list I say they count, we know there's a significant female fanbase, even if the males don't.

Its a great time management game with a cheesy plot (imagine something like a goofy version of desperate housewives, but also a wholesome one). Its an amazing game and i think its extremely underrated. I haven't played the other games from the same series (people didn't seem to like the plot from the next ones all that much).

>>321145Exactly. I don't want to go into a mini autism rant (because that sort of thing does piss me off) regarding Kirby but a lot of the time the only reason Kirby is regarded as girlcore or gamergirlcore or whatever is because a lot of tik-tok and instagrammers use nothing but pastel cutesy sanrio aesthetics and Kirby tends to fall into that crowd so you have people using Kirby as nothing more than an object and they literally objectify him for nothing but his cute factor. Buying those samey All Star Collection plushes, AliExpress off center mini plushes and those same goddamn AliExpress Kirby joycon buttons without even taking a deeper look into his appeals or game. I don't mean to sound like a sweaty gamer but it
triggers me hard when people treat Kirby as some heckin wholesome aesthetic checkbox to fill out for your samey mass produced gamer-girl aesthetic. It makes me want to tear off my skin when I realize these are the same people who consider themselves fans of Kirby but probably never touched K64, DL3 or even or Robobot.

>>321135you can be a tard casual, just dont call your tard casual games ''girlcore'', women already have enough dealing with male stereotyping them, we dont need women doing it too. Also, by your logic then age of empire, doom and half life are all girlcore games since none of them sexualize women, why arent those games on the list? oh yeah, because girlcore has nothing to do with that, it's just nobrain games, not ''girl games''.
>>321136why do you need to come up with a term and try to paint it as ''reclaiming shit''? my problem is just reinforcing those stereotypes with that term. No one forced you to play those games, they were MARKETTED at you. I dont know about you, but i am from a third world shithole and no one kept me from playing '''''boys games'''''.

And obviously games that outright treat women like shit + have poorly written female characters shouldn't be there either. Speaking of which, I'm surprised that shit like "Amnesia Memories" is on the list, with the outright
abusive and misogynistic LIs and the female MC that has no agency or say whatsoever. Should take that one off. The way a lot of otome games treat their female MCs and female characters is way worse than seeing boobies in female character designs.

What I feel like some anons misunderstand is that sometimes it’s just nice to not stigmatize the games we grew up playing and it’s really fun to play similar things in that genre for a safe feeling or nostalgia, even though it was pink, shitty and marketed towards us. There’s no shame in it and you honestly sound so insanely embarrassed about girls playing these kinds of games. Just like a scrote would. It’s okay for girls to like girlcore, we are not saying that YOU, a girl, HAVE to like them too because you’re a girl. We are not saying that you didn’t play "boy games".

No, nonnie. Hear me out.
I think the only videogame-list that will be useful for us and other women would be the list of videogames that
>A) are made with female characters that are well-written, strong, and not here for fanservice. The truly badass ones.
>B)Developers and games that are not pandering to trannies and are not tranny-leaning
>C)Great videogames made by a team of women who are, again, not pandering to men in skirts.
Picrel is HEARTBEAT indie RPG. It has a good story, the gameplay is fun, and the creators behind it are just 2 people, a lesbian couple. They got canceled by twitter for simply not supporting trannies.

If you're talking about the way the series was marketed in the West sure, which is why the localizers tried to make some of the dialogs more edgy. Otherwise not really. Japanese game devs really took the whole "family" part from the Famicom seriously back then. As for Pokemon, same deal, Americans tried to market it as if it's for boys first of all to the point where they wanted to make pikachu a tiger furry thing with huge boobs and the devs told them fuck no, meanwhile here's one of the very first ads.

I had no expectations for the direct, but ended up enjoying it quite a lot. Very surprised to see Another Code again, I wonder if we will get Hotel Dusk as well in a future (a bit sad over the loss of the original hand-draw artstyle, but overall it looks fine). I played the original a few years ago and found it very sweet.
The Princess Peach game looks cute as well, and I will probably grab the Spy Family one when it gets discounted. Happy to see the Paper Mario game remake, I never got around to play it.

How much time does ir take to do that, are the devs who worked on the 3D models annoyed, disgusted, or amused for being assigned to the dick and balls rendering? Because it's a detailed HD game after all. Do they look uncanny valley or not? Why is this RPG praised for the genitals and assholes shown on screen just for fanservice but FF16 released around the same time is advertised as being outrageous and scandalous for showing a couple's naked shoulders and backs while they just kiss and it just fades to black? Are the guys even hot in BG3? Because that guy

handsome young man and honestly I don't really like it as he looks too clean and slimy. But that's in fit of his charactor and his anime hair
>>321784Gonna be honest I think he was just added for woke points
with the wokeish charactor creation, a few npc lines referring you as a they and Nocturne feels out of place in the medival fantasy dnd game. Especially as a shar follower, he's canonically a troon which isn't outright said and while everyone else gets to suffer, feel loss and sacrifice things dear to them as a shar follower.

>>321650I just love how someone made a mod to make Astarion look younger and fit whatever beauty standard the mod maker had for men and it pissed every man and pickme on Nexus off. Comparatively, Minthara mod claimed to make her "look younger" and "more beautiful", "less angry-looking" but it literally gives her a full head transplant and no one is having any issues with that.
Suddenly they started posting under the mod comments like:
"younger != better" and how terrible and useless this mod is or how knowing Astarion's history it's a shitty thing to do to make a mod focusing on his appearance. Personally I'm happy women are modding and changing male characters to better fit their preferences. Especially if those mods make moids seethe kek.
>>321784But can you kill him is the real question. Or does he get the immunity like children for example.
Also, how does his troonery work in-universe anyway? Haven't reached that part yet myself but wouldn't it be like permanent disguise yourself or something along those lines? Honestly it feels fucking funny that some troon can have a full sex swap spell but you see some fucked up looking people and for some reason they just don't do anything about it. Like balding scrotes, probably small dick scrotes also, people with facial scars or unfortunate features. If they have money why can't they get a spell or potion too? Wouldn't anyone rich just look young and hot for their entire lives?
>>321484One of the sex scenes that I had mostly showed my character's stiff tits and maybe a couple of dick pixels for a split second, sadge

Nocturne is a shar follower but doesn't mention loosing any memories or engages in the fight against the enemies of shar, truly a perfect allegory to mtfs. They just label themselves after a group without being truly part of it, much like troons.>>321802I didn't try, but I assume you can probably kill him just like any other npc.

Then it fades to black. It's not even that weird in the series, you even had FF2 of all things showing the MC getting seduced by the fake princess and getting called a virgin by the entire Japanese fandom, that shit cracked me up when I played it on the PSP because of how out of place it seems.

I get the porny stuff though, I have also seen people complain we don't get multiple companion sex scenes even if it's indicated your chosen coupling does 'do it' in between days but like who cares, play a porn game if you want that. Or, God forbid, get a real relationship.

>>322087Assuming you mean the old school Harvest Moon that are now called Story of Seasons, I feel that Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is the best one on the switch. It's a refreshing remake of the original Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life combined with Another Wonderful Life. However, I am a bit biased because those were my two favorites to play as a kid.
Pioneers of Olive Town felt rushed, has poor dialogue, and still runs poorly even after getting patches. I cannot recommend it.
Friends of Mineral Town is decent too, a bit more casual and laid back in a way that reminds me of Animal Crossing. That one is a remake of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature.
Both A Wonderful Life and Friends of Mineral Town might feel a bit too simple to you if you're used to Stardew Valley and looking for something similar. While they did both get nice QoL changes added in, the mechanics overall for both are still fairly simple when comparing to more modern farm sim+social type games. Both are a bit grindy but I think that's to be expected from the genre. It won't be enjoyable if you try to rush through and speedrun them. I feel they're best played little bits at a time.

I tried playing this game because I really enjoyed Undertale and I was really disappointed. It feels like a bad rip-off, even though they're made by the same person. The music is forgettable, the battles are too easy and the characters are boring. You can't walk around without enemies appearing in the exact same spot, even if you've already fought them and won, which makes the gameplay dull. I finally gave up when that fucking reindeer who won't shut the fuck up about Susie was introduced. If you don't want me to kill the characters, then don't make them so fucking annoying and inconvenient. Undertale fans managed to make more interesting alternative universes than this.

Having gone to the temple without Shadowheart and lied to Mother Superior that she was dead, I went to see Nocturne who I was surprised to hear a voice of an actual woman and not philosophytroon's. While the lines were fairly short and in the lines of "go away, leave me alone". Curious I restarted an earlier savepoint and went with Shadowheart to the temple and killed everyone there, I went to speak with Nocturne and philosophytroon's voice is just jarring and grating, he even has an annoying lisp that physically makes one stop to think what the fuck were the devs thinking with this gobshite character and utterly useless plot-point regarding Shadowheart's backstory.
So a useless male follower gets to transition while believing in Shar, who would have let him suffer to get that sweet bitter and loss points of him seething and Mother Superior kept him around despite him being in her way of raising Shadowheart to become the perfect right hand of Shar and him being utterly useless in a battle that he needs to call for a groups of Fists to come save him in the super secret temple that no outsiders are supposed to know about. Also why the fuck does he have 50hp when he's a level 1 tiefling sexy demon.
this matter has already been discussed here before, I just needed to share the absurdly of this pandering and if I had the energy to complain about some of the characters views on poly or teehee you get to cheat on me and I don't care even though this is my first serious relationship uwu

>>322642I'm very interested to read up on their
Narrative Themes when the next diary entry comes out, as the story, along with the characters, was what kept me invested through my play through of VTM:B. Otherwise, it's nice to get an update, even if it doesn't give us anything substantial to chew on. At the very least, they know what they want to do with the thing, instead of waffling back and forth in indecision, and for me personally that counts for something. I'm feeling a little more optimistic than before. Thanks for the share, nonna!

Now that it's on sale, I finally bought Neon White and played through the first three missions. The gameplay is extremely fun but the story is boring and the dialogue is every bit as cringe and embarrassing as everyone said it was, and then some. It's genuinely worse than your average anime retardation which is impressive, it's like if Persona was catered to somehow more autistic scrotes. I could see this game being a 9/10 or a 10/10 if only it had more than gameplay and aesthetics to redeem it, but as it is, it sits at about a 7/10 for me. It's fun enough just trying to beat my own scores and get faster and better at the levels, but it does suck that I feel obligated to skip the story breaks just because it's so terribly written.
>>322356Part of what makes Deltarune not even half as enjoyable as Undertale is the length of it, and it's not even fully out yet. There are 7 total planned chapters and Deltarune already shapes up to be, what, 6 hours
and more if you go back to try Snowgrave and secret bosses only 2 chapters in? It's a total drag and I agree that the battles are way too easy. IIRC Toby said that he didn't have plans to even keep the 'mercy' button but he did because it felt wrong otherwise, and it makes me wonder if he would have changed the battle system in its entirety or taken a different approach to the game itself if only he had released Deltarune first or if it didn't have the essence of Undertale weighing it down. I'm sure DR will be more enjoyable when it's fully released since Toby is at least a consistently great storyteller and there are a lot of mysteries that will likely be resolved in the future, but as it stands, I feel the same way. Everything about Deltarune has half the charm of its predecessor, except the art.

And now that I don't have region block anymore the US physical copies are being sold by an absurd amount of money….
The people at Pretendo are working into making custom servers so we can still play online (like how they did with the Wii) but that will have to wait awhile. I will specially miss the Dream Suite from ACNL, I refuse to give Nintendo money to play online so New Leaf is my last AC game with fuctional online.

>>325682Yeah there's that too, I transfered all my pokemon to the pokebank so I can transfer them to pokemon home later but I'll have to do this sooner than planned. I also wanted to replay older games and maybe transfer even more pokemon from these new files but I guess that's not gonna happen, especially when I would like to play a lot of games at the same time already.
There's also the "my castle" features from FE Fates that I liked a lot and I met a lot of other players thanks to streetpass during cons and uni but I also played against others online and I'm worried about not being able to do that once I'll replay it and about not having access to all the resources to forge weapons and get more items because you have to collect them by playing with others.

I didn't expect to enjoy Engage but it was a worthy successor of Awakening and Fates' weeb joy. Cringe but free. It also finally has so many slutty outfits for men.
3Houses is pretty good too, just not as polished and thus I found it a chore on subsequent playthroughs.
Pokémon games on Switch are trash though. But so they are on 3DS… idk what made people enjoy SuMo so much.

>>326051That character annoys me to no end. He's also followed by a creepy, obsessed witch girl with body image problems whose monster version is called "Dysmorphia". His own monster version is a ripoff of FFX's Anima except phallic and about daddy issues.
Wouldn't surprise me if the dev came out as trans. Trans people tend to be morbid and love horror and body horror.

Cyberpunk as a genre can have good endings, games should be fun escapism they don't have to be realistic, whatever.
Wish they added epilogues for the other endings. Like I'm curious what the writers say would happen if you sign the contract in Devil. Or if you really could get cured.
Wonder if the sequel will go off this new ending. Personally I sorta want them to do a completely new city with maybe a smaller less 'important' story.

Most of the audience is disgusting incest moids but I don't think it's fair to the game to judge it based on that. I actually think it's rather well written.
No. 327517
>>326051The origin of the tranny character is so dumb. So, Marina's parents raise him as a girl so he doesn't get forced into becoming a dark priest. Then he claims being raised as a girl and dressing as one was fine because it "feels natural" anyway.
Well, yeah. If you're forced to dress and socialize a certain way all the time, of course it would feel "natural".
No. 327594
>>327558Kinda. Bridget and his twin brother were born in a village where twins are taboo. So the logical solution was to send one away to be raised as a girl. Bridget now wants to prove his manliness by becoming a bounty hunter.
Yet, in the cg art, they depict Bridget working as a waitress for Jam's restaurant, outlining the curviness of his ass.
If this is what Japanese men fap to, they have no right to be sad that no woman wants kids with them.
No. 327620
>>327611I hope I'm not creating a misunderstanding. All I really mean is Marina was raised his entire life being told he's a girl, being presented as a girl and raised to behave like one. None of that actually makes him female, just that all this is his "normal".
I think it's dumb that the writer makes the leap that it all works out because Marina is
really a girl where it counts or some hazy-feels bs like that. It couldn't be that Marina was brainwashed to make the lie more believable.
No. 327630

Play with tooltips active. Play easy mode, seriously this was the saving grace for me. Be a bard, great utility and you don’t have to be face tank (there are NPCs you can use as damage sponges). Look up builds and guides if you’re having trouble controlling the fights and most importantly, find some way to understand advantage/disadvantage because this shit had me so frustrated and pulling my hair out but apparently some races can’t see in the dark and that means they can’t hit for shit in dank caves. It’s definitely a game you’re going to want to have time to understand if you’ve never played anything like it before.
It’s the kind of game where you think you’ve got it all worked out and then suddenly there’s a new mechanic or situation and you’ll scratch your head for a minute and then realise you already know the solution, you’ll stumble less and less the more you play.

The tabletop is also fairly unforgiving.

Two new VTMB2 dev diaries. They're really leaning into this whole "neo-noir" thing but seem like they're fixated on cyberpunk aesthetics and themes when this really shouldn't be another cyberpunk game, especially considering the whole Second Inquisition storyline? Also they keep talking about John Wick. I like the environments they included examples of, but it sort of feels more like I'm exploring an abandoned Pier 1 Imports than the World of Darkness. This would be a cool point & click mystery game, though.
Point of interest: picrel refers to this guy as Tolly but in the E3 demo he was called Samuel, so I guess that's a sign they really did just drop all the existing work except for assets and start with a clean slate. What sort of broody neo-noir John Wick action mystery do you think will be the main storyline?

second, most of the romance options ARE unappealing (ugly or they appear to be teenagers), but as far as shane goes he does become nice and loving and thankful toward you as well as sobering up. actually as a former alcoholic myself and someone with alcoholic family it's a little naive to think ~true love~ can sober someone up, but yes, it was nice to pretend even in a silly little pixel game.
