What was the last game you got truly obsessed with? I'm talking shovelling 150+ hours into it no problem in a matter of weeks level obsessed. I'm not in a good place lately and need something to really take me out of it.
My last one was picrel when it released.

>>359305They're both worth playing in my opinion. They have selectable difficulty levels, so you should be able to get through them even if you aren't used to survival horror.The first game has tank controls but you'll soon get used to them.
There aren't too many deliberate jump scares from what I remember. In both games you have a radio that plays static when monsters are near, so it's rare that they'll catch you completely by surprise.

>>359305i'd really recommend all three as the first game was really fantastic at setting up the whole series in regards to the lore of silent hill and the cult especially which isn't really explored in 2 but just used as a jumping off point. 2 is fantastic as a standalone game, but i feel like you really are missing a lot if you don't know the underlying lore of the town even if it works. I'd 110% recommend the 3rd one if you play the games, it follows up on the story started in 1 and the mc Heather is one of my favourite female characters of all time along with Claudia. it brings the series to a very satisfying conclusion and if you ignore the following games, you could see the ending of the 3rd game being the end of it all.
the first one is really, really old feeling though so if that's a turn-off then maybe watch a "movie the game" of the 1st one then play the others. it's not a bad game at all, it's just rather janky if you're not used to older games. make sure auto-aim is on for 1 and 2 at least, trust me, it's not about skill kek
also get a map or no-spoiler list of the things you need to get the good+ endings, in the first game you can very easily miss a required object for the good ending. no idea on the other games as i didn't play them without a guide after the first one. oh the old days of gaming where you had to read the dev's mind lol

>>359185I've bought FF12 for my Switch Lite three months ago (since my old PS2 version of the game decided by 2010 to stop working on me) and I've already put 68 hours into it. There's just the mechanic "right weather to
trigger hunts" that's being frustrating right now so I've switched to Ni no Kuni 2, which I bought on sale last week or the week before, and I've already put 48-48 hours into it.
No. 359447
>>359322AYRT, can you or another nonna tell me what's so compelling about it?
I've heard about this game several times and I'm definitely interested, but every time it comes with the caveat of "don't read anything about it" so I'm scared to look things up in case I spoil myself. Being able to make an informed purchase would be great, though.

I played it last year and I loved it, it really felt like I was on some beautiful, immersive journey through space and ancient civilizations and making strange alien friends. it does have a huge "optimistic nihilism" theme though and a few puzzles so if you hate the sound of that maybe avoid it.

>>359889I'm horrid at mobas, specifically the 5v5 maps where each player has a specific role. I could never learn to coordinate well or bothered figuring out how each role should divide their time despite how formulaic it all is really. I played smite before a lot but I mostly stuck to assault, arena and 3v3 which I did fine at. I sucked at dota kek
On the other hand, I'm good at anything that is 3rd person and is action combat and requires quick reflexes and learning boss attack patterns. I also enjoy those types of games the most. I revel in the part where you memorize the whole fight for the first time and you don't have to rely on your thinking at all, it's just pure reflexes. Sends an adrenaline rush.
Everything else, it really depends.

>what genres do you avoid because you can't play themFPSs and most war/shoot IRL opponents third person shooters cuz I can't aim for shit. The only ever exception in all my gaming life was RE4 cuz my youngest sister bought the game and was blocked at the first mission and wouldn't continue playing after I helped her and I wanted to know how the story continued. Any real racing games cuz fuck that shit, same with all the sports simulation games, fucking hate it. MMO, whether it's a MoBA like League of Legends or MMORPG because I grew up on console gaming, we had the internet late and I had enough games on console to entertain myself. The only MMO back then we would do IRL was fighting games, Eye Toy 3 or Wii sports bowling (those who know, know).
Stealth games. Played some MGS as a kid, always sucked at the stealth. I remember even my father gifting my a Splinter cell game, never even moved on from the tutorial.
And finally horror games. I'm too much of a flake to play them, I can only watch people play. I remember having a PS2 demo of Forbidden Siren and I could legit not move from the spot where the character, a little girl, was hiding in a cursed and haunted hospital to get to the elevator because the atmosphere was too goddamn scary.

That whole thing with Eidos and the Embracer Group is because they were expecting a giant investment from some Saudi's that fell through, but maybe that was a good thing.
I was sorta annoyed with so many companies being bought by Microsoft and Sony buying Bungie, but it's probably good to have a stable money base behind them.

This game has been like crack to me since it debuted Friday. Highly recommend to any nonnas who like strategy shit.
Story isn't worth much but honestly most JRPG attempts to seriously engage with political intrigue and war piss me off with how poorly thought out they are so I don't mind that it doesn't even try here. All of the support conversations between units are very cute, though.
And it goes without saying that the graphics are beautiful since it's a Vanillaware title.

>>362291I played a lot of games in choicescript but I have been recently trying some twine games. Unfortunately I don't know many twine authors besides the choiceofgames forum refugees
I think it was thanks to the nft drama people left. Since then, some have came back quietly, which is funny as hell, they have no principles but I guess I am expecting too much from handmaidens and gaydens. So since I played lots of choicescript Imma talk about them:
I started with Choice of Robots and Hollywood Visionary (this last one is free but you gotta wait like 2 hours before playing the next chapter unless you pay for it).
I really like Hollywood Visionary. The romance in it is quite shallow, I was not expecting any romance at all but since it was there, I just wish it was less generic. Seriously, I'd rather romance our funny friend there (forgot his name) because he's got more personality. There isn't much reaction when it comes to your character being gay either but I suppose this has to do with the author trying to sanitize things because he was a cog writer and it's kinda mandatory so these games tend to avoid "
problematic" content even when it could serve the story, I mean, it's 1950 and you can be a commie, there is a whole chapter about it and you can even
end up being blacklisted, but I am supposed to believe people respect my pronouns even kek
I do wish there were more games like this though.
Played Heroes Rise which I think the first one was for free at some point, dunno if it still is. I love super hero games and this one was the first I played, but the railroading made me not buy the others, I noticed the choices don't matter much because I did initially like this game so I obviously played it again. Don't recommend unless it's free so you know what to not do if you ever want to write a game kek
Also played Psy High because powers but it's not a rec unless you really have the patience for school kids drama, it was kinda fun though but I wouldn't play it again. Don't remember if this one was free, maybe not. Def don't rec if you have to pay for it, not worth the money.
Paid games that I liked:
I liked Rent-a-Vice despite some railroading, this one is not free and I am sad there aren't more scifi games like this also where your character is not a blushing retard in their 20s. I, Cyborg was really fun too, def recommend of you're into that kind of stuff.
Heroes of Myth. Don't care about the romance so can't comment on it. Been a while since I read it but I remember having lots of fun being a loser wizard faking a prophecy.
Not a favorite but from cog there is also choice of the vampire and it's still free I think, the story was quite short I am guessing because I didn't engage in romance, so I didn't like it much. Only played it once though, felt the writing was dull and it had too many choices that did not reflect in the narrative (maybe I missed them or they are just not there?) The author is the retarded power tripping moderator of cog so maybe that explains it, he's got a stick up his ass
seriously, this guy (Jason Stevan-Hill) bans people for no reason and if you go to chooseyourstory(dot)com you get a bunch of cog drama archived. There was also this author who accused a published cog author of plagiarism and Jason shut down all discussion and refused to engage with the accusations which makes me think she is probably right, I didn't play either game but I really hate Jason and seen him being completely unreasonable many times. Fucker also moderates the reddit sub, which many prople complained as they go there to speak their mind since cog is overmoderatedNow for hosted games (paid)
Zombie exodus, it gets rec a lot and I played a bit but didn't like it enough to go past the demo. I do like all the choices and how some are reflected in the narrative, but I guess the player character felt like an unperson if that makes sense, like, had no personality of their own and this is probably the first thing that throws me out of the game.
Unnatural, I don't remember much but I guess it's like Psy High grown up, never played the sequel. I don't think it's bad but I remember stopping playing it because it felt like a chore. I think it has to do with the other characters, I remember them annoying the hell out of me kek I think it might also have something to do with me being fed up of playing young whimpy characters/school settings after Rent-a-Vice and Parenting Simulator
Parenting Simulator
Apparently the author said this story was not very popular, and I guess you can see why when hg and cog have lots of games on school settings. But I like it, look, I just like having kids in games for some reason, there are a lot of games where you are the kid or the student, and I'd love to play one where I am the one teaching them the ropes, but there aren't many games like that. Would be fun to be an old hero training their successor.. I am still waiting for that game, one day someone will write it and I hope it won't have to be me.
Speaking of heroes, there is Community College Hero and Unsupervised (wip so it's free for now). I know I said I was fed up of school settings and teenagers but what can I do? They wear capes! Unsupervised is really fun and I can be unhinged Superboy. If superdad ever comes back from that suicide mission he will be so disappointed and I live and breath for that. Unsupervised is written by a man but he's got another game I like (Highlands, Deep Waters) and I have no complaints. To me it's obvious this guy watched/read the same cartoons/comics I did, Unsupervised does feel like Young Justice at some points. All good in my book.
Community College Hero series has a few games and I like it well enough to keep playing, like it checks all the boxes Heroes Rise didn't, but something about the writing felt dull, like, I dunno, it could be better and the romance sucks but you can play without romancing anyone because there is a plot so that's good. I don't remember if that one was finished, the author kinda disappeared from the forums, guess he is taking a break.
Fallen Hero is another cape game but the writer is a woman and is leagues better than most authors that also write superhero games
but she is an enby retard that is almost 50 years old and used to identify as a lesbian, so that really makes me sad. She was cancelled some time ago on tumblr for not getting involved in discord drama, something to do with american politics, she is not even american kek now wish she'd drop the trannyism but she gets lots of messages thanking her for the story that it helped them to figure out they're trans, shit is really depressing, the game has troon shit but you can pretty much avoid it as long as you don't make your mc trans. I made my mc trans by accident once, I think selecting some choice that felt like I was just going to be gnc or "I don't care what people think of me" made me non binary or questioning, I dunno, I totally got it wrong but in my defense I stopped drinking the troon juice years ago and can't recognize that shit anymore Fallen Hero is very popular and 2 books are already released, book 3 is a wip in early stages and you're a hero turned villain.
Since the author is a handmaiden tif, I have more criticism, and this is in regards to her gay male character that can get in a romance with a female as long as she doesn't identify as a woman. I remember people raging at the "homophobes" in the forum/tumblr aka the straight women that asked the author to make said gay character bi. I don't even know where to start with this mess, gaydens calling straight readers homophobes because they wanted to romance a gay character is a fucking game book. It's better if I just go back to the games… so
Highlands, Deep Waters
You're investigating a muder but something worse is going on. Obviosly lovecraftian type of story. I like that I can be a cop and the overall creepy atmosphere. There isn't much romance there either, and it really doesn't matter, it is better without it.
Speaking of cops, my biggest disappointment with hosted games: Wayhaven Chronicles. Basically Twillight but you're a cop. When I bought it I thought it was going to be a story of a muggle detective in contact with supernatural shit, but nah, it's just romance with some weak plot, I'm not trying to trash the game, it's just that I bought something based on the marketing blurb and it was a lie. Probably not the author's fault, but man, imagine buying a muggle cop story with chances of muder mystery and then finding out Edward… I mean, Adam and Nate want to bang me.
They're Ava and Natalie in my game cus I played a guy attracted to women but still… I just wanted to shoot vampires and I fired my gun once in the entire game. Heard later that the author hates guns…. why the fuck am I a cop then??? Couldn't I be a intrepid reporter? That'd be fun too. Also since it's a cash cow series, you bet you only hold hands in the first book, don't remember if I can actually kiss the characters, wasn't really invested in the romance aspects, I sure ain't wasting my money on vampires ever again. There are currently 3 books released if I remember correctly, more to come.
Special mention of my favorite dead wip:
From Ashes We Rise, you could be Jason Todd, that's all you need to know. Because it's dead. The author was last seen in 2019 and this is a wip started in 2015, I don't think she is ever coming back even though I pray everyday I am wrong.

>>362444You're right about it looking like a shitty skyrim mod, the background looks copy-paste from Skyrim and the girls look like when you mod the npcs too much so they stick out weird. And even if we took this as a stupid porn mod, the outfits don't even look sexy. It looks like an outfit made by an autistic moid who thinks more skin = better so you get panty designs that don't flatter a woman's pubic area and whatever the fuck is around her jaw. If you told me his was a screenshot of a mod from nexus I'd believe you. If you asked a straight female artist to draw sexy fantasy armour you'd get something better I'd bet.
Also I hate that moids are acting like this game succeeding will be "proof" of what gamers want from big studios as if porn games don't already exist with demographics and numbers we can see. Not to mention they're usually the most pirated and this is a ps5 exclusive anyways so it's not really going to show anything new vs the countless other porn titles that do ok there. And the retards who meme themselves into buying it are probably better off just rebuying the newest edition skyrim and modding it anyways. This straight up looks bad and I doubt it's going to actually be a blip on the gamer radar after the initial release. It's not going to be replacing Baldur's Gate for what the studios see gamers wanting unless they realize they can scam coomers for microtransactions easier. But then expect porn games more coming out like EA sports titles and Gacha games

>>362217i read a handful a few years ago but haven't read much since. but i loved Tally Ho, its a comedy story about being a butler and getting into silly and dumb situations. some people don't like the humor but its really my type (and i wanted my boss to be my husbando). i also liked A Study in Steampunk, it was a short Johnlock inspired detective cog that i ended up loving. there is also a philosophical story called Creatures Such As We; an emotional story about loneliness. i can't sell these well because i'm autistic but i hope someone reads one of them
and speaking of trannies, i tried to play a cog called 'Heart of the House' and it had this cringy scene where you're forced to get undressed by an enby servant and the story purposely doesn't tell you its sex. jarring when the story was normal until then..
No. 363209
>>363175I heard of Study in Steampunk, always get recommended but I haven't tried yet, sounds interesting. Now, Creature Such As We is free I think, so I might try soon. Tally Ho is not my cup of tea, it's very popular though. There is Jolly Good by the same author, not really a sequel but it takes place in the same universe if I am not mistaken.
Enby characters always sound to me like they're meant to be women. Only a few times where I thought the enby character was meant to be a guy and that is when the author provide art of said character,
throne of ashes by 13leagues comes to mind, that enby guy even gets misgendered by his dad I think kek, and then he asks my pronouns double kek shame cus that story could be good, some paths sound interesting. I think it's funny how this author wants to be accomodating of the delicate tranny crowd (lets be honest, they're all tifs. That story could've come straight out of a YA novel) all while writing "problematic" content I always avoid the enby characters if I can, it's so awkward, especially when the author uses them as mouthpiece plus very annoying to read the singular they, gets really confusing after some time but you can't really say it in the cog forum without getting dogpiled. Unfortunately enby characters are everywhere now if the author wants to be "inclusive". Rip characters turned xir/them I shall never bother to get to know.
>>363129Well, the fallen hero author said she used to write horror. Maybe when she is done with fallen hero we get some nice horror by her? Would be nice, or honestly any other established author. I just lost hope on new authors, most horror wips in the forum get abandoned or focus way too much on romance and the plot feels secondary. The genre simply isn't that popular so I guess they have to sprinkle some romance to attract readers but it keeps getting in the way instead of complementing the narrative.
There is also the problem of them sounding pretty similar too, my guess is that these new authors are very young and get inspired by the exact same media that happens to be popular at the moment.

The mods available are really really good as well and it makes character customisation so much more amazing.

>>365858I'd say so. Personally, I don't find real golf entertaining at all but have over 100 hours in walkabout. The game is designed in a way that allows you to pick it up relatively quickly. It's not too flashy, but the maps will keep you entertained. Some have gimmicks, but most of them are simple but charming minigolf maps.
Although I will say, it's more fun with friends/in a lobby. Playing solo and improving can be fun, but sharing strats and witnessing cool shots is what keeps me coming back. There's also the feature of everyone being able to play the DLC maps, as long as 1 person in the lobby has it. So if you ever pick it up and want to play with someone, feel free to ask here and I'll set up a lobby if I catch the post in time.

I'm pretty late but I am finally playing god of war on ps4 (came with the ps4 when I bought it) and I am absolutely loving it. My mom played the old ps2 gow games but I was never interested cus the protag is a violent bald buff man and I have no interest in greek and norse mythology so I couldn't see the appeal but I like he's got a kid in this one, so now we started playing it together (mostly me but she is there helping me to solve the puzzles and explore cus I miss so much stuff lol) and it's so fun. I love that kid, even when he goes "wish mom was here" when I am taking too long solving a puzzle. Thank God he dropped the "I am a God" bullshit, it was driving me crazy… and I realized I suck in a fight when I am all alone or he does whatever he wants, all my great combos and finishing moves happen after he goes zapping the enemies, so alone the fight lasts three times longer and I almost die trying to remember how to do certain moves, most of the time I have no idea what I just did and how kek. The story is quite easy to understand (for someone that knows nothing about gow) and a bit predictable though that is not really negative, I like it when I can go "I knew it" just by taking the details of the story. Since I am invested in the story now I might give the old games a try some day, but I'll definitely play the sequel once I finish this.

Basically since Elden Ring came out and yknow what, Elden Ring proved that get gud worked. When people had the chance of missing out on this fantastic game because of a skill issue, they practiced and got good.

>>366590the thing about fromsoft games is that they make the games fair. save for a few notoriously dumb bosses, hidetaka miyazaki did not make his games with the sole purpose of fostering an elitist group of nerds to shout "git gud" at each other. his design philosophy is that a game should be challenging not to prove how good someone is at it so they can brag, but to make the player feel accomplished for overcoming extreme difficulties. in that, he succeeds wonderfully. it's not his fault losers spew the "git gud" thing. games that try to copy the "soulslike" formula never get it right, though. they aren't concerned with balancing difficulty and respite, but instead, they ARE made for those elitist losers who have to cling to video game accomplishments to feel good about their lack of other achievements. miyazaki cares a lot about player experience. he wants people to have fun. soulslike wannabes just want to boast a "hard" game for people to chatter about.

I'm playing Dragon's Dogma 2 slowly, i'm still at the start but i think that i will end up changing my Arisen into a guy, i always struggle in games where you have to create your character and almost always replay them as the opposite gender but i wanted to isekai myself even if i'm apparently too short for that world.
I played the original offline so i'm experiencing that online Pawn stuff for the first time and i don't love seeing the same kind of skimpy and make-up filled Pawns around, i think that i will turn my Pawn into a guy too because there are also a lot of child-like ones like mine (sorry, i find them cute but not if i played a moid? kek).
When i was doing one of the main quests in the city gaol i was weirded out when my arisen flashed her chest scar on the old man?? lmao i know it wasn't shown but still, just odd , i hope to find a cute raider to romance, i miss how much i hated Julien and his retarded accent, so far no one took his place.

It forces you to play more aggressive, and I'm not super into that. Some of the bosses can be punishing, where I really just want to play a game casually. I hate what the souls fandom has become. Similar to

I think the first few games are actually a masterpiece, and it felt good to get through, but I couldnt finish Elden Ring, and I'm okay with that. Now when it comes to the shitty souls clone games, I hate them the most because they really don't know how to balance the system.

But yeah DD1 definitely had a lot of weird vaguely sexist shit in regards to women. Like all the major female characters seem like weeb waifu stereotypes.
Mercedes the proud dark skinned warrior woman tomboy who gets humbled.
Madeline is slutty big boobed con-woman and you constantly bail her out of trouble.
The princess literally looks and acts like a child and the scene where her old man husband (twice her size ofc) strangled her on the bed is akin to rape scene. And you have to save her like a damsel.
Selene is the classic "she only looks 14, she's actually 200 years old you guys" combined with mystical goth girl stereotypes. And surprise surprise you save her.
Quina is the sweet girl next door who is so pure she literally becomes a nun which I always thought was stupid. Ironically the most proactive female character in the game after the nunnification.
Ophis the bandit queen is wearing a skirt with a boob armor corset. Compare that to male bandit leader with his cool armor and helmet.
The prostitutes in the city seemed to be programmed with the presumption that you're playing as a male arisen with a female pawn and ask you why you're playing with a doll instead of them.
And lets not forget the 'sill lingerie' that can only be worn by female characters.

>>366594You're right
nonnie. Not only that but a ton of bosses in fromsoft games are perfectly cheeseable in hilarious ways and if you really find something too hard you'll find a way around it to make it easy.
>>366899I guess you didn't manage to watch the second half of the video but this is memeing on DS2 mostly. DS2 is known for having horrible hitboxes and slower combat with shorter iframes but in this video it's shown as the game with better hitboxes while ds1 and ds3 are shown as the ones with shitty hitboxes.

>>366901Yes I did get the joke in the video kek. But let's be real, ds1 has a lot of hitbox issues. It can be quite frustrating
Actually funnily enough I had the most fun with DS2's bosses and hated 3's the most. DS1 is in the middle somewhere but overall thought the enemy and level design was the best. DS2 is supposedly better in the original form but only played scholar of the first sin (though I'm glad for story reasons), nearly gave up in the forest area because the ganks were just stupid but glad I didn't cause I had the most fun with it. I stopped taking it too seriously and stayed for the plot and an altered good time. I had a cheat engine turn off the petrification so I used every summon which was a lot of fun and gave some sweet story moments. They mostly ended up hilariously eating shit at the start of every boss fight so I'd be stuck with a boss with much higher health but I don't remember any bosses feeling unfair or miserable. Aside from the swamp area where I needed a guide, the middle of the game felt long but satisfying to go through. I also cheated about halfway through to double wield the blue flame which was fun as shit and looked pretty cool.
Also got to fight side by side with my waifu so weirdly enough despite knowing ds1 is the better game, I think I'm probably coming back to ds2 first and have more love for it overall in regards to story and characters I really cared for.

>>365734>>365787Does any nonna here know what happens in the Estelle/Joshua cameo on Cold Steel?? I'm deathly curious about it but I would never touch that dumpsterfire.
I remember being so disappointed after trying out the first Cold Steel game because the millitary academy setting was actually genuinely so interesting to me and I was expecting Alisa to at least be a secondary protagonist similar to Joshua but… Yeah anyway thanks God that FE Three Houses made a cool millitary academy game.
No. 367001
>>366915Ironic because as much as Cold Steel was a dumpster fire, I still like it more than 3 Houses because the existing world building made it more compelling than the mess of Fodlan. Like, even if her design was retarded, Alisa grappling with her family's turmoil amidst their involvement in Erebonia's militarization was more interesting than, say, Edelgard's vendetta founded on stubborness and incomplete information. And both characters got watered down with waifu pandering anyways. I think both FE and Trails are similar cases of series losing their substance as they chase profitable trends in modern day (or rather, FE got elevated beyond something it ever was? It never really had the writing chops for serious war stories, the appeal beyond gameplay has always been on the ensemble cast with the player filling in the blanks.)
Estelle and Joshua were alright. As returning characters, I liked them better in the Crossbell arc but it was good to see Joshua get some of the closure you'd expect from an Erebonia arc.
No. 367014
>>367001No, I completely agree that FE never had that good of a writing, specially compared to Kiseki but if I'm going to play a semi-harem game I'd rather play something like FE where I can choose the gender of my self insert, romance whoever I want and also play matchmaker. Alisa is cool, I actually like her design, my main problem was that I didn't like Rean and the side cast - and the things I've seen/heard about the later Cold Steel games seems very wanky of his character.
That said, I did dislike the Black Eagles routes due to Edelgard's nonsensical reasoning.
>Estelle and Joshua were alright. As returning characters, I liked them better in the Crossbell arc but it was good to see Joshua get some of the closure you'd expect from an Erebonia arc. Aw, maybe I'll look up some walkthrough of it on youtube to sate my curiosity
No. 367018
>>367014Reasonable opinions, that's totally fair. FE's structure works well for Fire Emblem, especially when the things you listed are what you go to it for. I honestly ended up liking Rean more than expected (more than Lloyd at least) but the sheer length of the Cold Steel arc and Persona-esque social link system were my biggest complaints… Like, I come to Trails for the lore and these games are crazy long. And they seriously thought it was a good idea to lock important details behind optional missables? Trails needs to be itself instead of stealing elements of FE and Persona that don't really work for it.
I'm looking forward to Kuro no Kiseki and hoping it's something of a return to form.
And yeah, I'd recommend that! No need to suffer through this longass arc for scraps.

Today I was reminded that Life is Strange existed, and also how much I hated Chloe. It's the reason I never played Before the Storm because it's just about Chloe and her not-gf that I also didn't like or care for. I don't know if other nonnies here played it and how they felt about her, because I've wondered before if I'm the weird one for disliking her since people talk about how she's actually the best friend ever and if you don't you just don't understand good character writing.
>>367014Playing matchmaker was always one of my favorite things in recent FE titles. I still need to play engage but I heard it only gets good later on. But I'm also craving a game again where romancing is secondary to the main game, it always makes me feel more attached to characters compared to otomege.

But I also didn't like Chloe. I found her annoying and wish the game had ended where you save her dad and she ends up paralyzed. Otherwise, I really liked Kate and Nathan Prescott and remember wishing they had more scenes. I also remember looking into the tumblr community for life is strange and found out that there was apparently supposed to be more than 5 episodes and I really hope that those episodes were meant to flesh out other characters that weren't just Chloe.

>>369119I have bad news for you, the entire game builds up to you having to decide between saving the town or letting Chloe live. Never made an easier choice in my life. I forgot her name but the evil short haired bully girl does get a little bit of grace in the last or second to last episode. The rest is just working towards the ending at that point really.

>>369066Here are some of my faves:
Danger on Deception Island: A conspiracy involving an orca and a small town on an island with a dark history. Includes one of the best crazy lady characters, good puzzles that aren't too hard, and a really fantastically woven mystery that weaves a few storylines together that you don't know how it all fits until the very end. I come back to it a lot because I love the story so much. A really good flow to solving it too, not much back and forth.
Treasure in a Royal Tower: The best crazy lady Hotchkis is here who also comes back in later games as a phone character occasionally, Marie Antoinette related mystery in a cool castle. An early game but still holds up imo. Like a lot of games, where it ends isn't where it starts so honestly don't remember the premise but it's a story set on humanizing Marie Antoinette on top of the mystery. A few of the games have done this where they take a controversial woman from history and add depth to her. Picrel is based on a grump in the game and the hilariousness of the goodbye lines after pissing people off.
Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon: You're invited on a train by Paris Hilton to try and solve the mystery of it. The owner had a secret mine and one day the train was found abandoned without him and only a dead conductor on board. Your mission is to figure out the location of the mine and what happened before the others who were invited solve it do (including the first instance of the Hardy Boys as characters beyond just guys you can call on the phone). Between deception island for my favourite. The puzzles are quite unique and while the location is interesting (mostly taking place on a train), it's more about the characters and the puzzle chains that are all well done. The plot is more straight forwards but it's cute and wholesome, it's also got a hilarious Paris Hilton stand-in whom I adore. Cause it's a parody written by women it doesn't feel hateful and if anything, she's actually quite smart.
The Final Scene: your friend is kidnapped and being held in an old theatre that's set to get demolished in 3 days, on the last day after a certain point there is actually a demolishion countdown and if you don't complete the game within the time period you and her are in the building when it demolishes (they made a game over sequence where you see the ball flying into the building in front of you before cutting to black supposedly, people claim it only happens if the timer goes off if you're in a particular room). I don't remember the puzzles too much, I think it's less about the puzzles and more finding clues but it's a game that sticks with me for the characters and the cool end sequence. Plus it keeps you on your toes the whole game and teaches you about Houdini cause the theatre is supposed to have been one of his favourites with lots of hidden passages. I might play it again soon I think.
Honourary mentions: Shadow at Water's Edge (set in a Ryokan outside of Tokyo, spooky), Warnings at Waverly Academy (set in an all-girls' school), Alibi in Ashes (play after a few games, set in River Heights and Nancy is the suspect), Danger by Design (France + catacomb exploring), Ghost of Thorton Hall (really great dark mystery imo, kinda spooky too with cool effects).
Honestly if you pick any of the games you're in for a fun time, there are maybe 1-2 duds across the whole series and there's still something to like about them. Ransom of the 7 Ships and Creature on Kapu cave are the ones I'm thinking of but are worth trying after you've done some others. They just don't have a great mystery cause I think both got rushed for some reason. Ransom literally only has one suspect and Kapu Cave has to explain the ending in the end sequence kek.
As for solving them, UHS (Universal Hint Sytem) is your friend.
https://www.uhs-hints.com/ It gives you progressively detailed hints for solving the puzzles but also the answer if you're stuck so much better following a walkthrough imo, especially since you might do things in a different order from the walkthrough you are following. You feel more satisfaction at least trying the puzzles using help. The later games sort of integrated this into the checklist, for jr detective difficulty you can click a "hint" button under your objectives. But all games let you call Bess and George and/or Ned and/or the Hardy Boys for hints too so if you're stumped try them. If you have any questions or anything let me know! I've played these games so much cause I found the series back in 06 and been a massive fan ever since

>>369238NTA but this is a very solid list. Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon was always my favorite, both because of the setting and having the Hardy Boys show up as actual characters. The shopkeeper in the prospector suit terrified me as a kid, though.
>>369066I second everything the other anon wrote, and I think Message in a Haunted Mansion is another must-play. It has a sort of classic haunted house vibe with some mildly spooky stuff that is probably not nearly as terrifying as I found it at the age of 6. The Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake is also a good one, if only because of the 'isolated in the woods' setting. The NPCs are weaker in this one, but it has probably my 2nd favorite setting and atmosphere of the whole series. The Secret of Shadow Ranch is also fun, and I really liked finding the petroglyphs and getting to ride horses.
No. 369461
>>369413Ghost Dogs at Moon Lake scared me the first time I played it cause I was so scared of dogs haha.
I refused to go out at night cause I was scared the dogs would attack again. It really got the atmosphere down for sure. And Shadow Ranch really is top tier for the horses yeah. I can't believe I forgot about it, especially the love story that gets revealed which was beyond adorable.
Message in a Haunted Mansion might be actually one of the most subtly scary ones cause it pulled a lots of little tricks to make you think you're seeing things
if you pay attention, every few locations you go the game will run an animation somewhere on the screen to move something. I think it's mostly moving things at the corner of the screen so it's less obvious. Once I saw a pillow move slightly to the left and I thought I was going insane until later noticed a mirror also move and realized the game had been doing this the whole time No. 369465

>>371606its always good to find a character that calls to you and pick up the game, but if you really want a nice way to ease into the genre you should pick up a more recent/popular release that will have a larger player base such as sf6, GGST, t8 or mk1 since there will be players at your level you can play against and work your way up through the ranks (dont be afraid of ranked!). granblue and sf6 have modern controls that will help with some of the harder inputs, but a lot of these new releases have lots of tools for beginners. there are often guides on youtube you can watch (starting with just bread & butter tutorials can be a game changer) and teching in the practice room will help a lot. good luck, anon!

It's also more clear in terms of translating attacks, as I find 2D games too fast-paced and 'random'. Tekken 8 worked overtime on creating the best tutorial and features for learning as well.
But overall what the other anon said is right, just find a charater you really love and try picking them up. Fighting game players are the biggest husbando/waifufags there are.
Also tips would depend on the game, but generally the main thing that made me get better was learning how to block and punish by studying the opponent moves.

But the music, map designs and gameplay are extremely enjoyable. I keep getting filtered by the later stages so I still haven't finished it without dying, but it's satisfying to see the improvement and I don't think it's a drag to start it from the beginning due to how nice the game is.
I got it in a bundle and wouldn't recommend it at the price it's at right now, especially with how unnatural the port feels at times (my main gripe is with the menu). You can always torrent it to try it out and see if it's something you want on your account.
There's also a giant cow boss.

>>372124She is probably talking about the sexualized female characters. It's an awesome game regardless, even more interesting when you play as a woman and manipulate male characters. I don't remember having a single quest that felt boring. Do it, you won't regret it. Just make sure to install the unofficial patch.

>>372012Deathsmiles is one of my favorite shmups bc i love the aesthetic and the directional shooting gimmic, I didn't notice any egregious nonceyness other than the tagline having the word "loli" but I just force myself to believe they're referring to EGL fashion. I'm more sensitive than average to this kinda stuff but theres nothing in the gameplay itself that bothers me.
That said I've only played it untranslated in an arcade so I could be missing creepy vibes in the story and I can't speak on the port quality/pricing.

I bought Hypnospace Outlaw a while ago but I didn't finish it until yesterday and I absolutely adored the whole experience, the 90's Internet aesthetic with the humour and writing were so good! I recommend it a lot if you want a chill and funny game. Do you nonas know more games that parody the Internet like this? I know the guy is making a sequel game but who knows when that'll be done.

>>371606In my opinion, I think a Street Fighter game is a good game for learning the basics, since they're slower-paced and more focused on your neutral game. They tend to have larger communities too, I started with SF3 myself (because I'm a poorfag lmao), but I think SF6 is good for learning from what I know of it. But honestly, I'm in agreement with both of the nonas that replied to you, pick a game that looks cool, and pick a character that also looks cool. One of the things I was told as a beginner was to not pick a character that I like, but a "character that's easy", and all it did was burnt me out.
For avoiding bad habits, it depends on what game you want to learn, but I think you should learn fundamentals first, like trying to keep cool and not let nerves let you mess up. If you notice a move is being blocked by your opponent constantly, you might want to use a different move for instance. Also, I agree on knowing the basic bnbs of your character is important, but you should also have a basic idea of what your character is supposed to be doing. Is he rushdown? a zoner? etc, it helps you at least feel less confused while you play.
The fighting game glossary is a very good resource, and the wikis for several games are as well. Sirlin's "playing to win" is also a good read. Most importantly though, have fun with the game you pick up, and good luck.

>>373120Any particular genre? If not:
-The Ace Attorney series are sort of point-and-click adventure games mixed with a visual novel. There are three total, and they're mostly just fun mysteries with an incredibly likable cast of characters.
-Zero Escape: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors is an escape-the-room and visual novel hybrid about nine people who are kidnapped, trapped on a replica of the Titanic, and forced to play something called the 'Nonary Game.' If they don't find a way out in the next nine hours, they'll die. It's an interesting mystery that brings up a lot of pseudoscientific concepts and has some genuinely brilliant plot twists. There is one particular plot element that is kind of dependent on playing the DS version as opposed to the PC version.
-Magical Starsign is an obscure, quirky turn-based RPG about kids at a magic school set in space. The characters go on adventures around space, and everyone is named after food. The plot seems silly, but it gets weirdly dark near the end. It kind of reminds me of Earthbound, if you've ever played that. It's one of my most favorite RPGs, but it may not be for you. You can play as a girl, though!
-The Professor Layton titles are puzzle games where an archaeology professor and his apprentice go and solve mysteries. The solutions to these mysteries are often incredibly dumb (and often as crazy as the initial mystery you were trying to find a rational explanation for), but the characters are very lovable.
-Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is also a puzzle game made by the people who did Ace Attorney. It's about an amnesiac ghost who gains supernatural powers after his death. He's trying to figure out how he died before the night ends. The characters and humor are great, and it has some of the best foreshadowing I've seen in a mystery game.
-Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is an RPG that was ported from PlayStation. It's a cute story about a girl with the power to talk to puppets. The protagonist is in love with a prince, and has to save him, which sounds very cliche now that I'm writing it out, but the writing is genuinely funny at parts. There are also whole musical sequences like a real musical with vocal tracks and everything.
-Theresia is a point-and-click adventure game with some horror thrown into the mix. Your protagonist wakes up in an unfamiliar place, and slowly, must uncover both their past while surviving a bunch of horrific hazards and traps. It's a really unique title for the DS, in my opinion.

>>373341Kek the ending wasn't necessarily bad, but I can understand being disappointed. If you'd like a reminder about the ending,
you eventually find the teacher for whom you've been searching. Unfortunately, it's too late to save her and she ends up dying anyways. Of course, there's world-saving stuff, so it's not all pointless, but still a bit disappointing if you've been really focused on saving the teacher. I can see how that could be a bit of a downer, but for some reason, this game has had me in a chokehold for the past 15 years. I found it really vibrant and colorful, and I've always been attracted to cute/kiddy games with some dark undercurrent (but it has to hit that sweet spot where it's not too edgy or tryhard). The planets were very creative, and I loved the idea of a magic school in space. It's nostalgic for me, and I still have the cartridge from when I was a kid. I'm shocked anyone on this site has heard of this game, much less played it, though.
>Don't really remember much about Ace Attorney, Zero Escape, or Ghost Trick either.I'd still recommend all of these if you really remember almost nothing. 999 in particular is such an amazing experience if you don't know what to expect. The later games in the series are… questionable. I really disliked VLR, but the third game is unintentionally hilarious (the creator went for a more 'cinematic' approach as opposed to a VN format, but the 3D models looked bad at the time they released. There were also numerous absurd writing choices that were very hard to take seriously).

>>373584I haven't actually played kuro and dropped the series altogether on cs1 because they really ramped up the coomshit and it made me uncomfortable (it was hard enough to finish azure kek but i persevered for picrel) but that honestly sounds based in an age where female characters in universe and by real people are constantly mocked for dare being over the age of 30, so that sounds funny.
>I actually think the characters have gotten more traditionally ikemen over time but I personally prefer the Skies designsAgreed, sky also has my husbando so naturally i have a soft spot for it kek but yeah enami really does know how to design an attractive male.

>I really loved Randy when he wasn't acting like a revolting scrote like in the azure intermissionKek, my feelings exactly on Randy, I liked that I could """"romance"""" him in a bromance way with Lloyd to make the Crossbell arc a little more bearable. Honestly he wasn't the annoying scrote shit in that game for me, the way every woman had the hots for Lloyd for no reason was what pissed me off. He wasn't even cute, if he was Wazy I'd get it but really? Lloyd??? I digress though, my original point was more that I actually liked Agate's stupid 2000s ass design more than Shirley or Agate's. It has a certain charm to it.
>Also celis has a great design and she's voiced by ai fairouz You totally get it on this point, that's a source of bias for me too, kek.
I had to drop CS after the 2nd game because I just couldn't deal with it anymore (I think the high point for me was stuff like Laura and Fie's interpersonal conflict or Alisa's opening up to Rean, but the haremshit got in the way of me taking anything seriously), but I'm going to pick up the English release of Daybreak when it drops this year. At least in terms of how mechanics integrate with narrative, it seems like they've made some improvement. And it also seems like they've scaled back the haremshit from CS levels to Zero levels… So fingers crossed.
Feel like pure shit just want Skies back. Kiseki should have gone the Atelier route and stuck to female protags so that female fans could have at least adhered to a pretense of the games being somewhat for us.

The ending is definitely one of the best I've seen, very impactful. I can't wait for Dreamsettler! Hypnospace Outlaw was more inspired by Windows 98 era Internet but Dreamsettler looks more Windows XP. I grew up with that one so I hope the nostalgia hits me hard.

>>376470It should be fine either way, I think. PC ports are pretty good. Console versions obviously work well.
One boon PC ports have is that you can install restoration patches to restore some licensed music that was cut in international releases. Sometimes it goes as far as restoring old models for actors that were replaced too, but it's a matter of taste.
As far as the controls go, personally I've never used a console growing up, so whenever any game recommended controller to me, I could barely operate it. So KBM worked very well for me with a few rebinds.
I hope you enjoy your Yakuza journey! It's pretty popular nowadays to skip to the latest entry, but personally I think it hits so much sweeter when you have the context of previous games. 0 isn't exactly the ideal starting point for that too tbh, but it's pretty self-contained and it's an excellent game that shows off the strengths of the series.
Don't worry about the difficulty too much btw, it's not a very difficult series even if the first boss of 0 might make you feel that way. I'm bad at action games and I beat all games in the series by spamming the generic punch combo. And after the early game, at some point you have so much money you can afford to have bunch of healing items in your inventory trivializing essentially any boss fight.

Nonas, was Life Makeover already discussed? I thought to talk about it in the mobage thread but it's on steam too and when it was shown to me at first i thought that it was just a decent dress up game, never played Nikki games but maybe it's similar.
It even has a 3d world and various things but i find it hilarious how males don't exist except for being 2d husbandos and the female characters look either adult or child-like, so far the worlds i've seen look thriving with nature even if they're urban. Utopia.

>>379715I actually came here to post picrel lmao. I'm fucking foaming at the mouth, the characters in these games are so hot. It's not a major spoiler, just a cutscene you get if
you offer salt to Moros. I didn't realize his horns were just a hat, so I was surprised when he was shown without them lmao. I think it's funny that in both games, the two romance-able options consist of a shy dude associated with death and a tough girl who is angry all the time. Like if I had a nickel for every time it happened, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. I slightly prefer one of them, but I'll romance both just so I can see all of the dialogue.
Anyway, the game is really fun. As good as the original, but with some fun new mechanics to mix things up. Strongly recommend.

Venting on behalf of my mom kek, but I downloaded Fallout 4 for her after she watched the show and she's been playing it a ton since. She's mostly been wandering around and trying to learn the controls since she's never really played a video game like this before so she got 20 hours logged pretty quick. She then started asking me about this one quest that wouldn't clear (When Freedom Calls - all hostiles are gone but it still says there are some) and Preston wouldn't talk to her character either so I looked into it and they've been known bugs for YEARS and Bethesda still hasn't fixed them. There are fixes out there that people found, but I put it on my steam deck for her and the game crashes any time I try to pull up the keyboard to enter console commands which apparently is also a thing in Skyrim which was apparently done to get the games verified to be playable on the deck. The only ways people have found to get around them is buying a bluetooth keyboard to type the commands in with. How ridiculous, how does a game by a big developer have bugs right near the beginning of the game that either require you to completely restart or buy a keyboard to get around them? I feel bad, she ended up just starting fresh so she could beat the quest. Hopefully there aren't any other retarded issues she runs into later on

I find it hard to admit that i liked some of the Princess Maker games, even if they're a bit too retro for me.
I just completely hate all that weird incest/sexualization and sex worker???life implications. I will sound stupid but i do want kids and i found it so charming to have a game where you grow your daughter and have her talk to you, when i could finally got called "mom" in the 5 i felt so happy kek, too bad that this one was a bit too slow for me. I know i shouldn't have trusted in general but it just made me happy, i wish there were decent games that are similar to that but i'll try Volcano Princess and hope for the best. I like the fantasy/kingdom themes too so at least i can't complain.

I would subscribe to hairstyle and character customization mods if you’re interested in that. and maybe dialogue expansion mods? if you’re not worried about mixing up vanilla dialogue and mod dialogue. i also like adding furniture mods just to make my bases look nice but i recommend doing exactly what you’re doing for awhile - being a homeless guy exploring kek. i wanted to post some fanart that i think is cool but i can’t spoil anything for you in good conscience- picrel is just some random non-kenshi art that i found for my post lol. i went in completely blind and fell in love with this world slowly over time. i hope you have fun nonna! save often!

Both english versions are pozzed by american politics lol, it's funny in a sad way.
So idk I played the italian version all my life and to see all this ruckus over something I always knew is ridiculous. In 2004 we went "hahaha the witch is a transexual, how funny and unexpected. Cute character btw" without any political shit attached to it. Now all I see is either the most fake outrage (and I have yet to see a single Paper Mario fan present legitimate complaints over this localization choice) or the most fake YAYY VIVIAN IS TRANS REP ♥ ♥ ♥ obnoxious online activism shit.

>>385578Because the original three Paper Mario games are not like regular Mario games.
They're more satirical and especially TTYD and Super Paper Mario present both adult humor and heavy topics compared to the usual Mario fare.
TTYD has raunchy jokes that deal with the mafia, murder, suicide, gambling (complete with bunny girl boos), corruption and adultery. Vivian being trans was just another part of its whole absurd and funny edgy image.
Super Paper Mario on the other hand toned it down (even if it had the otaku chameleon) but it still dealt with heavy themes like solitude, depression, death, envy, ennui and love.
TTYD's remaster actually had the crime scene room censored, and I think they removed the hanging sentence noose in the center of the plaza too. Extremely funny to see their priorities change in 20 years.

And even though I didn't think much of Uldren from Vanilla D1, the Forsaken lore sorta made me fall in love with him a bit, and Crow actually lived up to my dumb imagination scenarios. I don't even mind that he does stupid shit to advance the plot sometimes because that means our character doesn't have to.
And Witch Queen, story and everything was ok I guess, but I'll always be annoyed the devs were too lazy to animate facial expressions or something so our character was forced to have their helmet on in all the scenes.

>>385732Treehouse always translated following their shitty US political compass and it's not just for Fire Emblem or Paper Mario.
20 years ago they censored Vivian and completely removed the crossdressing aspect of the character to follow a political agenta, now they make Vivian trans to follow a political agenda instead.
At least the original spanish and italian translations localized Vivian into a TIM because there was no real commonly known culutural equivalent to otoko no ko that wasn't associated with perverts. As ridiculous as it sounds, trans over here were either seen as prostitutes or sad gay souls, so they opted to make Vivian a sad gay soul who wanted to be born as a woman rather than someone who dress ups as a woman just for kicks.
I don't fully agree with the choice but I understand it.
Another example? 15 or so years ago, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn had Kiza who was a shitty trans okama character. What did Treehouse do? Completely censor him and turn him into even more of a nobody. Nowdays they made him a themlet nonbinary… lmao.
I fucking hate Treehouse and their bullshit. NoE's translators always had more decency than them and they always brought in localizations with none or very few censorship. As much as people want to shit on Xenoblade's english versions, at least they don't delete or outright change the weebiest shit, they just tone it down and keep the gist of it.

>>385589> and I have yet to see a single Paper Mario fan present legitimate complaints over this localization choiceIt’s not just a localization choice, they changed the Japanese script to have Vivian say “I have the body of a boy but the heart of a girl” to match the English “I thought I was their brother but I was really their sister.” It’s a weird revisionism of the original script, which originally left it vague whether Vivian was just a flamboyant otokonoko or actually had a female identification. I don’t know why having Vivian be trans is more progressive than being an openly gnc gay man anyway.
There’s also the dialogue they changed where an enemy catcalls Goombella and she calls them gross and vomit-inducing. This was changed to them complaining that above ground people are going underground, something that was not a thing in the original game. I guess including catcalling at all is sexist, even if she beats the shit out of them? Every reference to “airhead” is also changed. It feels weird to have so much of the game changed to be less… edgy, or as edgy as a kiddy Mario title could get. Vivian now having a heartwarming speech about how she’s really a hecking
valid girl is another example of this game being changed for no reason other than to pander to present sensibilities, because it’s definitely not closer to the Japanese.

I don't think it's an off the mark localization
for 2004, but nowdays we absolutely have the concept of otoko no ko in the west too.

>>386015The lore in the game is pretty surface level. We never find out what species Vivian is or what the whole deal is with the Shadow Queen. Vivian was never meant to go deeper than "what if a cute girl… really turned out to be a boy? wouldn't that be hilarious?" It's treated as a joke in the game and in adaptations of it like Super Mario-Kun.
>>386130I guess 'airhead' is sexist. Basically anything that could sound sexist (like the villain calling Goombella a 'good girl') was removed. The female characters still kiss Mario as a reward though, which seems more sexist to me.
>>386221It's funny, from their logic this character was originally an openly gay man who kisses and falls in love with another man, and now he was changed to a 'straight trans woman.' I wonder if Vivian hadn't been an otokonoko if they would have actually kept her as a gay man, or if they would have gone with the 2004 localization as a straight woman.

>>386323Recently I loved fear and hunger 1 and 2. Going in totally blind freaked me the fuck out and the atmosphere, despite being mega crunchy, was extremely scary and oppressing. The total feel of helplessness and powerlessness at every turn was honestly amazing. One of my favourite parts of FH1 was
jumping down a bloody hole only to land in a dark and creepy cave breaking both of my legs, and then crawling my way around exploring the cave for the next 30 minutes before finally succumbing. Bonus playing as a male and getting some reverse ryona action for those who enjoy it.
Other than that, my favourite horror game of all time is SOMA. I also enjoyed Penumbra and the original Amnesia series. Notable mention to old horror RPG maker games like .flow and fleshchild.

got mauled by the dogs right at the start. It really set the tone. I do think it is stupid hard and obtuse. It's almost impossible to get to LeGriffth without a guide. I'd almost recommend Fear and Hunger 2 first since that game is more forgiving. It also dials down the SA stuff massively.

>>386592I see it a bit like dark souls, in the beginning it's great when you know nothing and thus get completely fucked at every corner but at one point you master the mechanics so by that point it's okay to start looking up the character questlines and stuff online imo. I didn't even know you could get to LeGriffith alive before looking up other ending guides, lol.
Also by that I mean
the hole that leads you down to the mines with the elevator I didn't know you could enable kek. Toilet hole was a great gag though I definitely did jump in it and get pissed I had to suicide. I think FH2 is more polished but nothing beats playing as cute boy getting accidentally raped by disgusting dungeon mobojisans and conducting sex rituals which

Death is pretty cheap, while in Fear and Hunger you lose your entire run unless you want to take a risk trying to save with a bed. Until I looked up guides I just stuck with what I know was safe-ish on my last run. I used the Outlander so I could get cannibalism because it was the only thing working for me to heal.
I've only got to Ma'habre twice but beaten Fear and Hunger 2. Also I've only completed Dark Souls 2 and Elden Ring. So maybe it's a skill issue.

Personally I don't mind how punishing it is, it's all part of the psychological experience of making you feel scared, frustrated and helpless. I enjoy games which manage to evoke rare feelings in me so I loved it. It's probably the same with people are really into Pathologic while others hate it, though I haven't played it myself.
You should try Bloodborne too nona, after original dark souls it was the only fromsoft game which made me shit my pants kek. It's incredibly scary and so fun at the same time, atmosphere is amazing. Afterwards I went and real all the racist Lovecraft books.

i am going to save up to buy a bull from the bar outside of the hub. was thinking of a dog but the bulls look big and strong.

>>387893Assuming you're talking about god of war that was released in 2018 (the one with the kid) and not the remaster I'd say do try god of war, it's a nice story, you don't even need to play the old games or know anything about them to understand whats going on. It got some puzzles but nothing too hard and you can alter the difficulty anytime and just enjoy the story. I absolutely loved it. There is a sequel (ragnarok) which is pretty good too.
Sorry I don't have many recs, I got a ps4 a few months ago and the only games I have are gow/r, re2, elden ring and resident evil origins, which is very good too if you're into resident evil and want to try the old games, it's a remaster of resident evil and resident evil 0, it got lots of puzzles like most re games but it's kinda short, it's the type of game you'd have to replay to see different stuff.

I'm not really sure about nonna's difficulty tolerance, but while the very first boss might appear hard, the beginning is typically the only hard part in these games besides the optional joke superboss. There are no really hard games in this series, the optimal way to play would be to repeat the basic punch combo over and over, and you can heal infinitely during any fight. Anything flashy is just to be flashy for your own amusement.

>>388017NTA the older GoWs are pretty fun game play wise. The design is pretty cool, all the locations are big and epic and the bosses are huge. Music is great too.
However the story is a bit of an edge fest. Kratos is a little ball of angry constantly shouting about muh revenge. He does things like toss innocent people into gears to jam them up. Every game has a random gross sex mini game too.
The first one has a pretty ok story, Kratos is pretty tragic in it. The rest make you wonder why I should care about this guy.

I HATE how badly Namco is handling Tekken 8.
Characters don't have their niches anymore because the game forces you into a rushdown playstyle. No communication for patches or content update dates. A shitty battlepass for for a game that costs $70. Mostly ugly and badly applied customisation options. Old, hideous and annoying men galore. And have fun getting punished for having good internet by getting matched against the laggiest connections you will ever see in your lifetime despite filtering them out, while the actual offenders don't get to experience any of said lag and get free wins due to it.
It's like they're trying to make the experience as dreadful as they can.

Literal instant win in beating mum, the first boss in Binding of Isaac:
The character Magdalene (since she comes with Yum Heart + one more heart container) + 3 dollar bill (it randomizes tears) + a bunch of bombs (with different enchantments like Bob's Curse, you can use them strategically when mums hand/eye pops out of a door) + The Chariot card saved for mum (of course you could use other cards/runes/pills before and you can also replace it with The Devil/The Sun) + Spear Of Destiny (passive item, can get from the Angel Room)

>>389043I think part of why this discourse is annoying is because her original design wasn't even particularly hypersexualized in the grand scheme of video game women. The developers intentionally gave her a (slight) bit of pudge in order to humanize her. Her skirt goes past her fingertips. She's wearing something under her shirt and doesn't have giant tits or cleavage. Yes, her appearance and behavior are meant to be sexually provocative compared to the rest of the cast, but it's very narratively justified, and even with this decision, she still isn't as scantily clad or curvaceous as most female video game characters. Meanwhile, men are retarded and didn't understand the point of Maria to begin with, so it's impossible to side with them either. In fact, I bet if they had been 100% faithful to her original design in the remake, there'd still be moids whining about the fact her stomach isn't concave. They are not ensouled and therefore cannot understand why James' guilt-induced hallucination ghost wife showing midriff actually is kind of important, they only understand coom.

my fingers are crossed for remy getting revealed at the summer game fest for season 2 of street fighter, after jamie and ed i'm really hoping we get more male characters designed for womens appeal.

>>389202i used to be pretty big into guilty gear as well, so i understand your pain. since i didn't like any of the redesigns or simplified gameplay, i was really waiting on whether they would add testament so that felt like a personal attack. and then i was waiting for them to add bridget (i know he was a coom character, but i was hoping they would clean him up into an older and androgynous guy like shion from KOF), and then lol. the game looked ugly to me straight off the bat, there is too much flashy shit that muddles all the moves and that wall break. holy fuck. why would they add that?
i wanted to try under night 2 but i know arcsys published it (sorry french bread) so i didn't touch it, discord communities are ass though. i'm hoping there is going to be a way for people outside of japan to play the upcoming fallen angels complete edition that keeps being teased, but i can't imagine the player numbers will be high.

I can't recommend picrel enough if you like weird RPGmaker games, or even if you like 2D RPGs. The art is great, the writing is hilarious, and the gameplay is really good for something made by one guy. You spend most of the game as an alcoholic knight trying to solve mysteries with a fussy monk as backup, so the early game kind of feels like Disco Elysium if it were set in medieval Slovakia. The atmosphere is phenomenal, from the weird shit you can do in combat to the slghtly jazzy, psychedelic rock soundtrack. Main game takes only a few hours to beat, but there are a ton of sidequests that people are still figuring out. Definitely worth getting IMHO.

Detriot:Become human is NOT a good game. It's fun but it's bad.
My favorite part is Markus You watch him "Give" the androids life, but it seems like the only ones who have personality are the ones who "rise up" on their own. Every fucking andriod that Markus "Gives life" just stands there blankly.They do whatever he tells them, it's almost as if they aren't fucking humans and they don't have free will???
And why isn't their one Andriod who Markus tries to change who goes, "Nah I like my family" when they are "Freed". Markus had a good life with his human, surely he can't be the only one?
Also good or bad route, they DO come off as fucking dangerous and aggressive, because they are NOT HUMANS and Markus comes off like a leader of a bunch of mindless androids. A andriod trying to use real life politics to try to get us to see him as a human, irl actual people suffering from racism would fucking hate that these bitches are acting like what they are going through is anything near what actual people go through
And I hate Kara's story it's pointless, every time David Cage has a playable female character it's "Meets good character, meets cartoonishly bad character! Meets good character! BAD GUY!" and he puts these female characters through all kinds of extreme violence. When you find out Alice is an android, if you don't notice in the beginning, it's weird. Why are their kid androids anyway? How do they regulate that?
Hanks personality is so cringe to me, he comes off like a hard depressed drunken stereotypical cop, but you see him putting tumblr like post-it notes on his mirror. I do enjoy Connor sections more, but I always play him as a 100% fuck andriod kinda guy because to me that makes sense.
I haven't played in a bit, but did the creator of the bots give Markus to his human, hoping that one day he'd rise up and "Free" the androids? Or cause drama? What the fuck was RA9?
And I think the ones who become humans almost always do because betrayal or violence, those are the only ones who fucking seem to have any personality or will. The ones markus converts just become his lackeys.
So it's dangerous anyway. We can't live with a bunch of bots who hate us who can easily be swayed by a motherfucker like Markus.
I know i'm rambling but that game truly is kinda nuts. I probably mixxed some details up.

I wanna vent so badly about how much I hate Stardew Valley, but I don't even know where to begin. I'll just say that I really don't understand how the moid that made this game managed to make so many insufferable characters. Like, what's the point in making "realistic" characters for a farming game? I don't get it. This isn't a dramatic game, a story-driven game, it's literally just some idealization of farm life. Then why make characters insufferable as fuck? I understand having a token grumpy/self-centered character that grows fond of you over time. But no, let's just make characters that seem nice, but then you see their heart events and they are selfish fucktards or whatever. There are only like 4 charas in the entire game that are actually likeable.
I also feel like most of the writing is so pretentious and trying to be "quirky" or whatever, but idk.
I didn't want to post this in the Stardew Valley thread because I don't want to bait with this rant, I just genuinely feel so upset about SV. I wish I liked it, I think the game has potential and even with its issues, it's still a great game with tons of things to do. But I just can't stand the writing at all, omg…

Oh, ok, I don't know what happened in the raid. But there's the rest of it.
We destroy the Witness in a 12 man matchmade thing. And then ghost loses his light. But then Cayde sacrifices himself to bring it back to life. Crow's the new Hunter Vanguard and he has a silly manbun now. We get a couple nice scenes with our Guardian getting some lines. Hinting at the cleanup which will probably be the story the rest of the year. Now I have to play it again because my recording fucked up, of course.

I'm for sure in the minority but I'm still a little disappointed that this won't be a continuation of Inquisitor's story and focusing on their conflict with Solas. I found the premise intriguing (and I'm not a solasmancer so it's not that lol). But it was never going to happen.

Which I did. 60 hours ago.
After that I was so pissed I didn't even finish my replay kek and just let him go fuck himself. There's a similar thing that happens in DA2 that happens when you try to romance Fenris if you flirt with Isabela a few times, but back then I only lost 4 hours of progress and you bet I went back and did it all again for my cute tsun elf.

New life is strange game, Life is Strange Double Exposure.
It does not look good imo. Looks like some nancy drew shit, Life Is Strange 1 was more so about Max's relationships with all the one personality trait students, but MAINLY Chloe and overhyped Rachael Amber.
Oh no, another one of Max's friends died, and now she has to use her power to bring her back!" who cares, I bet people would rather have another story of Max/Chloe directly after the first game than this.Sometimes I tinfoil that LIS 2 was originally supposed to be about Max/Chloe after they destroyed the Bay. They'd fit in so well in the story. I could imagine them traveling to start a new life, running into Daniel and Shawn, Max turning back time because she's with Chloe and sees what happened with Daniel. Them all teaming up and going on the run. Shawn dying, and Max/Chloe taking in Daniel. Chloe being mad because she doesn't want Max to take in the kid. Going to the grandparents house, meeting the train hoppers would be a bigger more fleshed out story. Like maybe Chloe could choose to stay with them or Max could convince her, etc.##
Thing is I have a hate/love for the life is strange games, but 1 and True Colors, do have a place in my heart kek. This doesn't look like it'd be fun to poke around in for the cringe, or the world building (Like Life is strange 1 had). Just looks blah.

>>391452I dislike how all game studios are just doing realism now. Such a lazy, cheap "art style" that requires little to no care (it's a way to cut corners and photobash shit together for concept art, without caring for making your game stand out from the rest). MGS3 looked great back in the day BECAUSE of the stylized look of it all. And it worked SO fucking well with the 60's James Bond-esque theme.
And speaking of lazy and cheap, Dragon Age's gameplay was about what you'd expect: repetitive, dull, lots of bright flashy colors for VFX to make up for the "mash 1 on your keyboard" aspect. They ditched the skill hotbar for a skill wheel now. Didn't see if it's possible to control your team mates, didn't see any sign of the tactical camera, either. They made Rook a black guy for the gameplay trailer because of course they would, gotta get those diversity points in. The writing annoyed the FUCK out of me. In the gameplay there's a cutscene where the party confronts Solas, and Varric volunteers to talk to him, try to reason with him. And you'd think Varric, realizing the gravity of the situation, would probably call him straight out with a loud "SOLAS!" or something dramatic, right? Nope. Because Varric's "gimmick" is still the stupid-ass nicknames. So he just straight up calls him "Chuckles". Fuck off.

I get the feeling that they're trying to make a redo of the previous game and correct everything they didn't do right the first time (the plotlines are kinda similar).
I also like the fact that the game seems to acknowledge the different endings of the first game, my prediction is that while she's hopping between universes she'll run into Chloe and she'll have to choose between her and Safi or something, with an extra minor plotline that Chloe will get upset that Max didn't do this for her and won't want to help her.I don't know I'm sort of excited, I didn't really care much for the other games after the first one and the original is major 2015 tumblr nostalgia.

I'm honestly disappointed. I know DA always had some type of flaw and the graphics were always somehow bad compared to everything coming out at the time.

Imo they made a huge mistake not showing skill trees or tactical view.

I’m getting really frustrated by the discourse around the new Dragon Age. Anyone raising valid criticism is now being immediately dismissed by fans as either an anti-woke troll or someone that just wants an Origins clone. The fandom has always been particularly twisted imo and way too serious about the games (I’m thinking of tumblr Anders vs Fenris fans) but this is just ridiculous. Anyone that likes the franchise can see that this entirely new team might have fumbled the game we’ve been waiting for. Shutting down criticism by dismissing anyone touting it as transphobic, racist, etc is just enabling EA’s laziness.

At least imo.
As for the things you mentioned, I actually haven't seen a single negative comment about the diversity. Guess that's because I only use the main sub on reddit so it gets downvoted. As for the other, DAO part, well, anyone who expected another DAO is kind of a moron at this point.

But too be concerned is really reasonable, even one of the community council members (who played half way through ISH) said that there is always the concern that the later game ends up being like DA2 act 3, rushed and unfinished.

Also gotta give some points for censoring Palutena, Mythra, Pyra, Bayonetta, Female Corrin, Peach and the fact that they didn't include Mai as a background character in the KoF stage was because she was too inappropriate.

"On the internet no one knows you're a cat" continues to be true. The Atlus (and Sega/Nintendo recently) leaker turns out to be an american man larping as a Japanese woman.
I had assumed the JP was a larp and was simply an eng person leaking stuff from the start (if "she" had been japanese, she would0ve been caught fast), but I have to say I'm a bit sad to have lost a prominent woman in the eng fandom since its mostly greassy dudes there.

The mod is also a troon. Starting to notice a pattern? And even worse, Arrowhead Studios (people who made Helldivers 2) is doubling down and keeping this retard employed as one of their mods.

I love the kirby series so much!! I kinda dislike how they get written off for being "too easy" because yes, outside of some final bosses and post-game stuff they're not hard, but there's so many other factors that can make a game enjoyable for me. There's other games I love for their challenge but I play Kirby to chill and enjoy the cute art and music. Also, amazing mirror is one of my favorite multiplayer games ever. Something about exploring a huge metroidvania map together and sending out a call if you need help is so fun. If you and some friends have the switch online service with the gba retro games I can't recommend it enough! Great Cave Offensive from Super Star is a very similar concept but for single-player and it's peak imo. Currently working on 100%ing every game in the series and only have a couple more to beat, wish me luck

>>392254isn't the sheer volume of games to sift through very odd? I really want to know the cause behind so many people creating games now. So many of these games are also so similar to each other, just sort of frankensteining different game features together. Especially the ones targeted to women. Has it become easier than ever to develop games now? what is up with this?? It also is such a time sink trying to find something halfway good to play.
The only demo I have enjoyed so far has been Ova Magica, and that one is also a game that has a mishmash of features. only like it because of the monster breeding aspect since its my favorite genre and I am currently starved for that type of game.
why does farming have to be in every game now?? how is everyone not tired of that yet? Never thought I would feel this way as a major harvestmoon fan.

Just like with lots of other skills, there are tons and tons of resources online now, along with communities and severs where you can ask the second you're a bit stuck. Nowadays you can learn anything without moving from the couch.
Though people have been making "indies" forever, just look at the amount of roomhacks and games made with RPGmaker and Flash back in the 2000-10s. The difference is that people used to do them for fun/as a hobby but now everyone who can write 2 lines of code calls themselves gamedevs and does it for profit and/or onlime cloud.

To close the gap between male and female characters. It's men who couldn't stomach the idea of women being slightly less plastic and equal to men instead of being way hotter, they didn't want to raise the standards for male characters to their level either, so they decided to make everyone ugly instead. Muh diversity is mostly an excuse, and feminists are just the scapegoat to blame for the loss of tits in media. The problem is that, men only accept to see a normal (or maybe even ugly) woman if she is surrounded by even uglier scrotes.
Also this wasn't a problem when we could just go for Japanese games/media where the aforementioned gap was a little smaller, but now everything is basically a coomer harem, so now you can only choose between retarded moeshit and a D&D Redditor polycule.

All you need to do is look at modding communities for games like Dragon Age: Inquisition or Mass Effect. Not Skyrim, because that's filled to the brim with moids wanting big-titted waifu followers. Bioware games have a more balanced skew of male to female players. The mods for character customization in those games all favor making the character models and the Inquisitor prettier. Better skin, better hair textures, new makeup options, sliders, headmorphs, nicer clothes, etc. There is no "devolution" mod to be seen anywhere. NO ONE likes uglier female characters. Fuck, no one even likes uglier male characters, I've seen so many mods that fix up Cullen and make him look less pasty and hung-over.
So… no. You're wrong.

Small rant. I got myself Death's door on the Switch on sale. So far so good, the graphics and soundtrack are lovely. I recommend the game so far, if you like action adventure (it's kinda like Tunic if that rings a bell to anyone).
But one thing that strikes me as poor planing on the dev' team is the spawning points after your bird died.
I'm only three "chapters" in and every time I get killed by an enemy in an arena fight with no escape, no healing, I get spawned at the entrance of the cave that, after getting to the room with the elevator to go down, leads to the garden where the arena fight happens 2/3rds of the way into the location. It fucking drains my energy and the want to get the arena fight done to finally move forward with the game, not the fight itself as it's just a matter of not dodging into the AOE attack of the thing, but the way to the fight is so unnecessary. And of course the game has no "saving point" function, it's a milestone saving system of sorts.
I unlocked one way into the house of the boss I'm supposed to encounter after unlocking stuff around the area, so maybe if I get in the house, it'll finally spawn my bird closer to the arena. But yeah, I'm not too keen on those types of things. Probably #first world problem, but as someone with limited time to game nowadays, it's really annoying.

Please nonas don't tear me to shreds, but after discovering video games as a little girl, movies and television slowly started to lose their appeal to me. I haven't seen a movie in literal years. I still like books, though, because they allow for pure imagination, but movies are too palpable. Video games can have a good imagination-to-palpability ratio, like for example fromsoft stuff as others have mentioned. You have very palpable aspects, but the story is left to the imagination and exploration in a way movies simply can't provide. They have to present things to you, and in such a short amount of time. Having information dumped on me in a two hour span feels unsatisfying and boring. Tv has more time to give you palpable information while leaving space for imagination, but they seem to rarely take advantage of that, instead being dumpfests like movies, but longer. I hope I'm making sense.

I still tinfoil it was not-so-subtly trying to groom kids into getting used to the gacha system.

>>394921Honorable mentions-
>fable 3-I know that everyone hates this one, but this is the first fable I played. I adore it and like (LBP1) I got the game for free with xbox live. I tried the other ones and didn't like them as much.
>Infamous 1-Got this game because Sony got hacked, so they gave two games away for free. This and another game on my list, Little Big Planet. It's a really good game and I love it.
>Brothers The Tale of Two SonsA touching unique game
>Deadly Premontion-The game plays like shit but it's odd story and characters really make me love it.
I also cry at the end, IDC, I hate what happened to Emily>Imagine Fashion Designer games>Thrillville>Scarface>Dead island>Saint Row 3-Listen, I play it like it's the sims with shooting. I would drive my character to get a new outfit/look, car color, every new mission, then I'd watch the mission just to see her kek. I beat the game 3 damn times just because I enjoyed doing that so much.
If you can't tell I'm a poor fag, a lot of my "Honorable mentions" are games that i got for free, but I didn't enjoy them because they were free, I played all these games multiple times because I truly liked them. I also notice I like a lot of sequels/later games that others consider the "Worse one". Like with Fable 3, Sims 4, Dead Island, Saints 3 and Banjo Tooie. But I've played all the other games (excluding dead island which is the first game) and I never enjoy them as much as I do the one I favor.
And I give them all a good go.

I like character customization, pretty graphics, and good music.
Surprised that nobody ever tried to copy ZOE, with single player story mech games with fast combat. Never played Armored Core, but I feel like it definitely plays completely differently.
Human Revolution was probably a better game up to Panchea, but I really hate the ending, and Adam looks way hotter in MD.
Abzu was probably the only game to make me cry, though it's less about the game and more about how it was reminding me of Planet Earth and how I always cry when I listen to the Pale Blue Dot speech.
Was obsessed with Xenosaga in high school, though tbh I hate the ending of 3.
El Shaddai isn't amazing, but it's probably the most obscure game I've played, and it is pretty, with good music, and Lucifel is hot.

>>394921Great taste, nona. You might enjoy Off because it kind of has a similar appeal to Yume Nikki in an abstract way, but I'm also biased since I included it in my own 3x3. Likewise, Earthbound might appeal to you, although I'm sure you've already played it. I know this is the video game thread, but I'd also love to know what VNs you restrained yourself from including in your 3x3. I also omitted any VNs that didn't have gameplay because otherwise, it'd just become a VN 3x3 instead.

So the main people behind Daggerfall is working on a spiritual sequel, I stumbled upon their kickstarter and I'm honestly pretty curious on how it's gonna turn out.
Maybe it's because I've been semiwatching vidrel over the course of a couple of days I find it interesting, his love for Daggerfall managed to bring quite a bit of attention towards it from me. Too bad the trailer, even if it's supposed to just be some proof of concept, is janky af otherwise I would have considered backing it. But what do you think nonnies? Any Daggerfall lovers ITT?

I mean, there's a reason why Spike abandoned the original idea for Distrust being 'anyone could be a culprit/

>>396027>most people here seem to dislike it so i’m interested to hear your thoughts.I think that's mostly just an LC thing, on other sites and with other people I've spoken to they generally consider it to be the best one (including some moid I was talking to yesterday). Basically I just like how well written the characters are since I enjoy character focused stuff, I think the ryona is incredibly sexy and I think the plot structure is surprisingly well done since a lot of the time it's a second thought in nitro chiral VNs
the screen flicker when they say daijoubu is still one of the best twists I've seen in a visual novel>i want to let you know that based on you recommending it i’ve been using the jp version as reading practice so thank you for that heheYou're welcome! It's a really niche game but I clearly really enjoy the writer since I also have mamiya doomsday dreams on the 3x3!

What will likely balance it out a bit is I'm guessing the remaining Yabusame sibling in Kanna's route is gonna job again and die earlier on in the route so it's slightly easier to write and the plus side of having two routes is that he gets to separate a lot of the twists and doesn't have to reveal them all in one route, because then it might just take up the whole chapter>>396046Vtubers and his wife recently had kids so I'm guessing he's busy with that.
