I try not to get my hopes up, but if From Software ever blesses us with Bloodborne Part 2, I'll spontaneously produce enough milk to nourish every orphaned baby on Earth. We need more cool-ass female hunters in this world, and less GRRM.

>>39887I’m tentatively hopeful that Elden Ring will be good but god why the fuck did they get him on board? I hope he’s only there to give guidance on the Nordic themes and not as a full on writer because I’ve grown to like Dark Souls’ style of storytelling. I don’t want some convoluted plot shit or character drama getting in the way of my sweet, lonely dark fantasy atmosphere.
Tbh my dream would be a game like DS’s setting but with more allowance in multiplayer without turning a game into MMO stat grind/gear trade cancer. Still no chat - I just want to gesture around with strangers to find things to kill together then the ability to sit down in chairs and eat with them afterwards. Maximum comfy.
Also I’m trying to craft a 1/12 cloak like Eileen’s to go on my dolls, it’s only at the drawing board right now but I’m planning to articulate it with wire and use feathers from… somewhere.

>>39889I'm picturing it being like Dark Souls where they just made sequels with a very similar storyline but with different settings and (mostly) different characters. From could just make the same game over and over again from here on out and I'd keep buying/playing it, because the Soulsborne formula is perfection for me.

I am so stocked to see my fave tragic love story play out in gorgeous graphics that I have decided to replay FFVII. I am at Gongaga already and I am relieved to find out this game is not as hard as I remembered, which is good as I don't really enjoy the random encounters. I goddamn love the plot and all the characters.
It's a really smart decision to drop Compilation and make it non-canon to the remake (hope they will not screw it up, but since Square has admitted that the Compilation was a cash grab due to a merge with Enix, I am being relucantly optimistic).

Judging by the new trailer and various quotes and hearsay, I think we will get to spend a lot of quality time with Aerith before her time comes. Everyone and their mother knows she is gonna get murdered by Sephiroth, so they cannot just shock us that it happens. SquareEnix is gonna try their best to make people love her so that their hearts are as broken as Cloud's once it happens.
Looking forward to crying my eyes out.
I wonder how will they deal with her death since it was surprisingly nongraphic in the original. You can't avoid some amount of blood now due to how realistic the graphics are. I hope it will not ruin the mood of the scene.

>>40913>>40923The newer Harvest Moon installments are not by the original publisher Marvelous Entertainment, but by Natsume who used to localize them. In the West, Harvest Moon now goes by the name "Story of Seasons". If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing and cute farming game, you should try the Story of Seasons games for the DS. They were all really well done with nice designs. Natsume still releases games under the name of "Harvest Moon", but they indeed are looking very, very bad.

I've been playing Judgment / Judge Eyes lately. Compared to the Yakuza games, which this game takes place in the same city, Judgment is more slower paced and I like that a lot. I played the demo months ago and it was long as hell. Took like 3 hours to complete. I really like the change of pace, because I've had multiple instances in the Yakuza games where I felt rushed going from story point to story point, they made it seem like I had no time to wind down and relax.

I’ve also played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and enjoyed it, despite not usually liking open world games and preferring turn based combat. Just be warned, it’s centered around that whole “big tiddy anime girl” shit lmao the story is decent otherwise.

No. 41507
>>41480It depends on how much time your ready to play a game to complete it. Pokemon is good because it's easy and not too long but there are so many things you can do that you can potentially spend hundreds of hours. Final Fantasy is a famous series, the most popular ones are the PS1 games but FF6 is also very popular. They're not "too" long to complete from what I've been told, bu then again I only played FF1 to FF4 so far. Fans always fight each other on whether the recent games are good or trash. I played Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates and liked both, but they're more like tactical RPGs and Fates as several routes, including one that's way more difficult than the others (Conquest). Once I get around the GBA games I'll tell you if they're good or not for beginners.
I like the SMT franchise a lot, I would say Persona 3 to 5 are good for beginners and not too difficlt once you get used to the gameplay. For the main series I'd say SMT4 on the 3DS is one of my favorite games ever and it's also a good entry point to get into SMT but it's pretty hard, especially at the beginning, and it's long, it took me a bit more than 70h to complete my first playthrough. Overall SMT is like Pokemon because almost all the enemies you face can become a playable character so you can customize your party as you wish. Again about P5 since one anon recommended it, the game is long. I never played a Dragon Quest game, a friend said the series is great but not why they're great.

Ugh I want more news about Elden Ring to come out, the silence bores me. I really hope that’s just a working title too because it sounds too generic, like Lord of the Rings and The Elder Scrolls, two huge franchises in pop culture, had yet another grim and gritty fantasy baby. I
like fantasy, I don’t want this to turn out bad but the trailer gave me weird vibes about the tone of the game.
FromSoft also declined a documentary with NoClip which is really disappointing because I want to know more about them and their practices but I guess they want to be secretive.

>>41524>SMT4 only took me 45hrsI feel like I could have done that but I spent like one third of my time doing almost all the side-quests, including getting the black card, fusing demons and trying to unlock the neutral route. I redid the Kenji fight way too many times but I was locked in the law route no matter what so I'm sure I spent even more time than that on my first playthrough. I'm still salty I never managed to unlock the neutral route because
I hated killing Isabeau but right now I'm about to beat the final boss of SMT4 Apocalypse so I don't really feel like going back to SMT4 now.

I'm also not a big fan of turn-based RPGs, but a few of them like Yokai Watch are entertaining enough for me to push that aside.
Some other JRPGs I also liked are Secret of Mana, Phantasy Star Online, and Chrono

I hate it when people shit on some games in a series because "it's bad because there's (actually optional) fanservice, you play as a self insert and you can date some of the characters!", then praise other games in the same franchise because "the art is pretty, the music is pretty and the story is good" when these games are actually not that much better in these aspects and the gameplay and level design are so much worse than the games that supposedly have too much fanservice. You'd think they were reviewing visual novels but no.
When you talk about things you dislike in games with the exact same people such as excessive DLCs, loot boxes and similar practices, different versions or routes of the same game in different cartridges or the fact that some games are released a year later outside of Japan because of botched localisations, or games you can only really play online for no valid reason they don't say anything because it turns out they don't even play video games, they just watch playthroughs on youtube. Yes it's about pic related but not only. I'm glad I bought a brand new copy for only 25€ because it's disappointing so far and people wouldn't stop praising this game and its shitty boring maps literally just because there's less fanservice than the previous games.

Jarpig is a genre i played a ton but i have actually beaten very few games. I was insane about them growing up in the psx era but looking back, most were not that great.

I really enjoy games where you can pick your gender and your name, even if they don't have a lot of customization. I find them kind of feminist, as they don't usually change your interactions with the story or characters based on your gender (aside from minor things). That's because it would be a pain in the ass for programmers to do so lol. Consequently, the games usually end up being neutral on your gender and NPCs don't say sexist shit or judge your actions.
Any recommendations? I'll give mine:
— Games with customization I've enjoyed:
+ Pokémon franchise [Nintendo].
+ Rune Factory 4 (you only choose your gender and name) [Nintendo 3DS/Switch].
+ Animal Crossing franchise [Nintendo].
+ Stardew Valley [PC].
+ The Sims 3 [PC].
+ Fantasy Life [Nintendo 3DS].
+ Final Fantasy Chronicles: Echoes of Time (sequel, you only choose your race, gender and name)[Nintendo DS]
+ The Urbz [Nintendo].
+ Age of Wonders III (don't know about the prequels, but you can customize your avatar, the game is nice and cheap on instant gaming but I haven't played a lot) [PC].
— Games with customization that I've played but bored me/weren't appealing:
- God Eater franchise (didn't appeal to me, too much weebness but eh, you can find good discounts on instant gaming right now)[PC/Playstation/other platforms].
- Dragon Quest IX [Nintendo DS].
- Harvest Moon franchise [Nintendo].
- MMORPGS (I liked Aura Kingdom and Maplestory 2, but I always end up quitting these types of games) [PC/Android].
- Staxel (bought it when it had a huge discount on instan gaming, haven't really played it lol) [PC].
— Games with customization that I haven't played yet:
. Fire Emblem franchise (I would like to play the newest games, but they cost tons of money and I'm not paying that for something I don't know if I would enjoy) [Nintendo].
. Monster Hunter Stories (cheaper on Android, I may buy it in the future) [Nintendo/Android].
. Assasin's Creed Odyssey (I already have the game) [Playstation].
. Secrets of Grindea (waiting for it to be finished) [PC].
. My Time at Portia (waiting for a good discount) [PC].
I don't remember more games. It would be nice to hear your recommendations, anons, any videogame genre is welcome as long as you can choose the gender and name of your character!

>>45513If you have a 3DS you can get a demo to try FE Awakening a little. Fates' gameplay is similar but a bit more balanced because in FE Awakening some classes are way to OP compared to others. Three Houses' gameplay is different and there's no demo as far as I know unfortunately and while you can't customize the main characters in FE Echoes because they're remakes of FE2 there's a male main character and a female main character. I don't think I can recommend FE Echoes to anyone though, I found it boring at best and annoying most of the time because of the witches and the cantor maps. I also never played any Monster Hunter except a demo on the 3DS, I have no idea how different each game is but you should try demos and see how you feel it. I like some of the games you already cited, I think maybe you should try Sword of Mana and Magical Starsign if you like JRPGs. There's also Persona 3 Portable, both main characters are different so you have different dialogues with the female MC but I liked her a lot. There are other games where the main character is a woman but you can't customize her so not sure if that counts.
Anyway this reminds me of an old article in a Minnie Mag (before it became Witch Mag) from the early 2000 I think, it was saying that video games weren't just for boys and they can be fun and it cited a bunch of recommendations with female protagonists, playable characters and cute characters in general like Resident Evil, Street Fighters, Pokemon Red/Blue because of the cute pokemon and the female NPCs/trainers, Final Fantasy, the legend of Zelda, etc. This is making me feel nostalgic.

No. 45566
>>45513Second for the Elder Scrolls series. I’ve only played Skyrim but I know the rest treats your protagonist similarly. They are also very mod friendly so you can customise everything about your character (read: not be ugly, lol). You can be gay and marry another female character and no one ever comments on it but that’s mostly because there’s 0 dialogue about marriage outside of the quest for it rather than worldbuilding.
There is also the Dark Souls series, "gender has no bearing on ability", it says in the menus. No male gaze shit or that fantasy crap where women are mistreated because it’s "realistic and gritty" to make it "dark". They’re a solid trilogy of games with online aspects but nothing like an MMO.
If you didnt like Harvest Moon, what’s different about it vs Stardew Valley?

>>45513Phantasy Star Online is good! It's an MMORPG, the first game isn't online anymore, but there's fan servers that are still pretty active to this day. The second game is still alive and well after 7-ish years of release, even officially coming out to release in English in 2020.
If you have a PSVita, I highly recommend playing Phantasy Star Nova, it uses the same engine as PSO2, but completely available to play without internet connection. It also has it's own fan translation, which is fairly easy to patch if you already have your Vita homebrewed.
I honestly like Nova a bit more than the Online 2 counterpart, which is what it's heavily based off of. The first reason is, because it's offline. The second reason is because this series features a lot of women as leaders. The main ship that's being piloted has a female captain. Also, you can customize how your camp area looks. If you want all women running the shops, go for it, a lot of the women have great buffs compared to the men if you want them to tag along with you during your quest.

Basically if you care about story a lot Fates isn't all that great, especially with the shitty Americanized localisation. But if she cares more about gameplay she may like Fates just as much as, or more than Awakening. Both are good and similar enough tbh. We'll just pretend Revelation and its shitty maps and underleveled characters doesn't exist.

>>47242I could recommend SMT games if you like RPGs, which are mostly remakes and two very good original games, Fire Emblem and Ace Attorney.
You said you like Pokemon, and SMT is sort of similar, it's a JRPG series you can "recruit" enemies in your party whenever you want and just customize your party in general. SMT games that are remakes are:
>devil survivor overclocked>devil survivor 2 record breaker (both are tactical RPGs)>SMT strange journey redux>soul hackers (this one was a game from the 90s and it's a bit dated but still enjoyable, but I haven't finished it yet)>persona q and persona q 2, they're based on the Etrian Odyssey gamesAnd then you have SMT4 and its sequel SMT4 Apocalypse, they're some of my favorite video games. If you're American SMT games tend to be on sales on the e-shop pretty often from what I've been told. If you're European like me don't even bother trying to buy physical copies.
About Fire Emblem, you have Awakening which is easy and a nice 1st game to get into the series. Then you have Fates which is divided in 3 routes you have to buy separately unless you somehow find the special edition of the game. Birthright plays like Awakening, Conquest is harder because the maps are different or are the same but with more difficult objectives and different playable characters and there are restrictions so you can't level grind, like the first games of the series. Then you have Revelation, which is DLC only, have gimmicky maps and have no balance whatsover, think of it as a "fanservice" golden route where nobody dies and everyone is happy. FE Echoes is a remake of FE2 and you'll either love it or dislike it. I didn't like it at all personally. If you want to play FE Fates I recommend you just play Birthright and Conquest, forget about Revelation unless you really want to play online (not worth it.) Don't listen to anyone bitching about FE Fates having a bad story because they'll pretend that Awakening, Echoes or even other games have a better story which is wrong (except maybe for the new Switch game.) Don't play FE for the story, play it for the gameplay.
As for Ace Attorney you should be able to get the whole series on the 3DS now iirc. It's very tory focused so play in that order
>AA Phoenix Wright>AA Justice for All>AA Trials and Tribulation (they're in the same trilogy, and basically it's the main story written by Shu Takumi)>Apollo Justice>AA Dual Destinies>AA Spirit of JusticeTry to avoid spoilers as much as you can if possible. I have the first four games on the DS and only AA5 and AA6 on the 3DS. I think you can also get the trilogy on steam but I think it's more convenient to have everything on the same platform.
I haven't played Bravely Default or Bravely Second yet, but friends have and they enjoyed both a lot. Same thing for Radiant Historia. Other games I liked were shorter Nintendo games like Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Super Mario Land, New Super Mario Bros. 2, etc. I'm looking forward to playing Zelda games, Metroid 2, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Kid Icarus and then I'll be able to talk about these games too.

>>49279It is crazy to remember that the original game came out so long ago, maybe because the characters are so present and remembered still to this day, FF7 became franchise of its own within the FF franchise.
It makes sense that the Square Enix is giving them new life so they can milk the crap out of the IP for more years to come like they have done all the 00s, but that also means they need to step up and make a really good game that meets the expectations. I think a remake was inevitable, i don't get very salty about them because worst case scenario the remake is not as good but we still have the original game with some added mainstream relevance, best case scenario the remake is great and worth it so any way is all good.

Has anyone else played Little Misfortune yet? It's great.
I liked Fran Bow, so I had high hopes for this, and it did not disappoint. I wasn't too into some of the gross-out humor, though and I wish there was more than one ending, and more stuff to play around with in general, considering all the choices. Plus, the fact that there seems to be no real way to "die", "get caught" or otherwise lose in this game, no matter what, kind of sucks the urgency out of the scary bits. Plus, I noticed at least one continuity error and a visual glitch in one part. It almost feels sort of unfinished, but otherwise? Lovely. I loved the overall message of hope, it was refreshing and very heartwarming.

I'm playing FE3H and after a few weeks not playing it whatsoever because I was too busy I reached the timeskip, and thank god the monastery section is less time-consuming now. It's still annoying though and while I'm doing the blue lions route, I want to go with the black eagles route next. Problem is, there are so many cutscenes, the support scenes are so long, the monastery part is long and repetitive and the first 11 chapters are the same no matter the route so I'm wondering if I'll get burned out. Has anyone here completed several routes in a row?
At least with Fates you could do whatever you wanted between two maps quickly and without restrictions like the action points, I wish it was a bit more like that in 3H.

>>53486I’m on my third play though now, and I hate how much of a time sink the stupid monastery is. I love FE and I’m having a lot of fun with the different classes and supports, but the pre-time skip section is just draining because there’s very little variation.
If you’re going to go Black Eagles next, make a separate save in the February month of the game because BE splits off to two separate post time skip stories so you don’t have to redo the first 11 months over.

the part where you choose between the black eagles route and the church route? If that's the case I'll do that, redoing the same 11 chapters with the exact same characters and cutscenes sounds like a pain in the ass.
>I really feel like they could have just compressed the Monstary into the barracks like in PoRI'm a filthy casual who only played Awakening, Fates and (unfortunately) Echoes so far, not sure how it's like but I'm guessing it's probably more like the "my castle" feature in Fates? I don't think having such a huge explorable zone for the monastery was a good idea, doing everything I need to do each time takes at the very least an hour and more than half of that time is spent running back and forth to give items to the characters, it's boring. That's only impressive and fun the first few times you explore it. At least the maps are good and unlocking the paralogues isn't as annoying as in Awakening and Fates, especially in Conquest.

So what does everyone think of the Friends of Mineral Town remake, and how do you feel about the redesigns?
They added two new marriage candidates(bottom center of the pic) Brandon and Jennifer.
Personally I'm not too much a fan of some of the redesign choices, particularly Doc and Karen. Karen now looks like Freya from Grand Bazzar and with Doc, they somehow managed to make him look even MORE generic. Really unsure how to feel about Ricks's new hot redesign as well. Probably gonna go after Brandon, and maybe Cliff again for nostalgia.
By the way apparently they brought back the "best friend" system(from DS Cute), so you'll be able to marry any candidate regardless of your gender selection.

>>53573I am very excited for the remake, although I was really hoping for a new Story of Seasons game for console. I loved the DS titles, but I am really longing for different graphics (like, actually seeing something, everything on the DS is so small lol) and the return of older gameplay mechanics like proper mines. However, I am also very ready for this nostalgia trip to Mineral Town and I like what I have seen so far, especially the video trailers. Without movement, the game looks a tad bit too much like a mobile title imho, but I think it’s bearable when playing. And nothing can be as ugly as the Harvest Moon games Natsume recently released.
The redesigns are okay. It would be nice if it would be a bit closer to the old designs, but I guess they changed their artists and this is more up to date. However, on that collage they all look kind of the same – bland and happy, which is the thing I disliked about the newer SoS installments. The characters just lack personality and are really generic. This shows in the redesigns. Popuri always was my wife in the games, but she can be really annoying; on her picture she just looks innocent and sweet. Same with Ann who looks less tomboyish and kind of boring. I understand your comment on Karen, but at least she has some kind of facial expression that goes beyond ":D".

I'm considering buying the DLC soon. I think I'm halfway done with the story.
I hope they make a sequel to the series for Switch or something. I know they have a mobile game, but it requires too much data and constant connection. I played it for a while and half of the time I get kicked off the server because my WiFi signal's too weak and probably the fact I'm not located near Japan.

Am I the only person who's not really that sympathetic to Edelgard? I'm playing her route rn, and the writers worked overtime to make Rhea look bad and to make Edelgard look good. Except I don't really see how Rhea is the bad guy for creating a world where dragons and humans could live peacefully. Rhea only fights in self-defense when others attack her. Rhea isn't responsible for humans creating a twisted aristocracy centered around crests. I don't want to fight Rhea.
Also, I think it's funny how Edelgard says she wants to create a world where crests don't matter, but doesn't hesitate to turn random citizens into demonic beasts in other routes. Not having Byleth around isn't a good enough reason for her actions, sorry. The only peasant she talks to is Dorothea, who praises her endlessly. Edelgard doesn't even think about offering public education to commoners UNLESS she marries Ferdinand. And her idea of a meritocracy is giving her friends from high school the best governmental positions. Ferdinand and Bernadetta still get to keep their land and titles.
And I've heard Edelgard doesn't even fight TWSID, so what's the point?
I'm overthinking this. But I just don't understand why Edelgard is so popular. People act like she's so revolutionary, like she totally destroys the status quo… but she doesn't. Nothing changes.

>>58360No, I feel the exact same way.
I feel like a huge majority of the fandom complains about how Edelgard doesn't deserve all the "hate" she gets but I've literally never seen any of this so-called hate, just people defending her.
Also see a lot of people saying that if Edelgard was male people would be more sympathetic to her (his?) character, but honestly I disagree. I've seen way more people criticizing Dimitri over Edelgard. I'm all for calling gamer scrotes out but nobody's attacking her for being female, they're all defending her cause she's a cute waifu, like come on.
I think she's an interesting character but you're right, she's not revolutionary at all and basically nothing changes in her route in the end, all she did was fuck shit up and cause needless death. IMO she's hugely overrated by the fandom. The other two house leaders have more compelling stories.
No. 58378
>>58360Totally agree with you anon. One of the criticisms people like to put against Rhea is that "she executed people!!" Yeah those who tried to kill her like… she's pretty insane, but the only war she ever waged was against the ONE (not even an entire country, just one guy) who had killed her mother, sounds pretty fair to me tbh.
BE just feels incomplete to me? Edelgard was allied with twsitd and Hubert aids them in that one paralogue yet they just kinda forgot about them? BE even has less chapters than the other routes so I don't understand why they couldn't do like they did for GD. It says they beat twsits (seriously fuck whoever decided to give them such a long name) in one of the endings though, maybe the hubert/edelgard one.

Has anybody picked up Switcher yet?
I'm surprised they ported it to a console mainly directed at children and younger teens. I was curious if they censored the game at all, I remember there being a few sex scenes where you'd see a nipple or two. Not a big deal, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't taken out. I don't know how Nintendo still is with adult stuff like that, even for third party games. Also the physical release case looks neat, it comes with stickers and a map.
>>58287Hopefully by the end of next year they'll be as cheap as Switch Lites are now and maybe then Switch Lites are going to be in the $150-175 range. I heard they're thinking about coming out with a "Pro" version of the Switch so hopefully that'll help with cheapening of the prices!
Refurbished/used consoles aren't a bad option either. I bought my 3DS and Vita used and the only issues I had to deal with were a dirty battery for the 3DS (which was easy to clean up, I just needed to dab a little alcohol on a cotton swab and rub the connector for a few seconds) and the Vita being a little scratched up on the back.
Good luck on the search anon!

>>58989Dunno if you could handle weeb stuff, but 100% Orange Juice is a pretty comfy laid-back game. It's a board + card collecting game where the objective is to collect as many stars or kill as many enemies as possible. There are a bunch of characters that have their own special abilities and unique ways to play which really changes up the game every time. Online is pretty active so you can always find 2 other people to join, and the devs are constantly updating and adding new things.
Unfortunately you just missed it going on sale but it's still pretty cheap anyway. There's DLC to add more characters, but there are 15 in the base game (most of them have to be unlocked though). It's a quite fun casual game to play and sometimes can be pretty funny watching people get screwed over due to bad dice rolls, but there's still strategy involved based on how you decide to play and use your cards.

So BBs are fetuses removed from brain dead women who apparently are also used to "telepathically breastfeed" them, from what I gather? Maybe it's just because I live in a country where brain dead women have been kept on life support because they were pregnant when they died (women in general are used as vessels) and I'm really sensitive to this topic…but the fact that this is being used as some edgy subplot in a fucking video game is really depressing me. Like this is something that actually happens irl.I'm probably speaking too soon and maybe all of this will be explained but Kojima doesn't really have a great track record for how he treats women in his games so I'm not very hopeful.

Even now that videogames are billion dollar enterprises the writing is still at a low bar, lower even than mainstream american movies. I feel not just Kojima but a lot of videogame personalities are really bloated and way above their heads.

Face in the bottom middle looked pretty bad, but it's probably because they were trying to imitate her surprised look from a scene in the original game and it didn't go too well. Apparently the models are only there for face scanning, they don't really act the scenes. So they shoot maybe some basic expressions and the rest are worked on later artificially, that's why some expressions might look weird.

>>68923Once I hit vet levels I quit. From a single player game standpoint the story is hit or miss. (Wrothgar was amazing, Morrowind was okay). From an MMO standpoint it's spammy animation cancelling garbage and clunky as hell. And it's got a real predatory model when it comes to crown crates and other fun cosmetic stuff. Artificial time gated scarcity sucks.
I'm WoW trash though and prefer that endgame progression / challenge loop and have never been a fan of action RPGs so take that with a grain of salt.

I beat the Azure Moon route a few months ago in FE3H and now I'm right in the middle of the Crimson Flower route and oh god, this game is such a drag. Why the fuck did the developers think making you redo the beginning of the game 3/4 times to unlock all the endings was a good idea? Only a few cutscenes and dialogues are different and this shit lasts like 11 chapters.
No. 71073
>>71057Not really, the game is weird in that the route split happens at the very beginning (as soon as the first chapter iirc?) where you have to choose your house/students, but you only really start having different chapters and stories after the 12th or 13th chapter when you compare all the routes.
The exception is between the Crimson Flower and Silver Snow routes where the route split happens right before the 12th chapter so I WILL use the save function here. Fates was better designed, you only had 5 short chapters to complete before the route split, you can skip them once you complete your first run anyway and the chapters between all the versions were way more different.

I kept the save file from right before I have to choose between Edelgard and Rhea so I won't have to redo the pre timeskip part of the game. Not sure I'll be able to do the VW route since I'm only borrowing my sister's Switch and I'll probably move out soon.
I liked Edelgard a lot in AM as a villain and even in general, she was pretty much a better Walhart since she's important from the beginning of the story. But I already have a feeling her own route is trying to push her as a kawaii waifu who did nothing wrong because she loves her sensei uwu after the timeskip.

>>71244That's how I felt like, too. Her motives for everything in CF seemed kind of inconsistent to me, and she and Hubert say a lot of things, but then do the exact opposite. I'm also getting tired of everyone on twitter being like "she'd be the perfect communist queen, if you just ignore her personality, her actions, and her reasons for ruling." Edelgard fans seem to be incapable of looking at her flaws, they really love to whitewash her. She's way more interesting as a villain, rather than how she acts in CF… I don't think she's cute just because she's scared of rats, sorry.
At least Rhea and Dimitri fans will admit that their faves did a lot of things wrong.

No. 71377
>>71282To me it seems like her route was developed at the last minute because IS was too ambitious (again, see what happened to Fates) and wanted a villain route because characters like Rudolph, Arvis or Walhart were popular, BUT they wanted a plot twist à la MGS2 were the heavily marketed character and poster boy/girl of the game is actually not the protagonist (and the suspicious JRPG church and pope aren't the actual villains) BUT the investors told them to hurry up and release the game asap while forcing them to make Edelgard more marketable for Japanese normies and waifufags so she can't be too much of a ruthless misguided villain.
Actually I say that but I've been told that VW and SS are pretty much copy-pasted and that it's more likely that VW was based off SS with only one more chapter and a different last chapter. I really wonder how the game was developed now. We will probably never know, since to this day we don't know exactly how FE Fates was developed and why the story had so much potential and was so shit (an that's not even taking the terrible localization into account)

I need to sperg about my man Goro Majima for a second. I fucking hate a majority of the fans and even the localization team for not taking him seriously. They all just portray him as some ex dee totally random "trash goblin". Like… Have you actually played the game? Everything he does, is for a reason, no matter how random it may seem. His whole fucking personality is an act for his protection, down to his Osaka accent and hair, so people from his past wouldn't recognize him. He's a man of many masks, which is why I think his Hanya tattoo is perfect. The character designers knew exactly what they were doing.
Also, I absolutely HATE Goromi fans. I can't believe how obsessed they are with this single sub story scenario to the point where they're making zines and seething at Sega for referring to Goromi still as a man.
I cherish Majima so much, I wish the majority who like him would understand him better.

Has anyone played the Life is Strange franchise?
I feel like a lot of people shit on the games for being "sjw-pandering" but I genuinely enjoyed the first game, it had a goid story line and soundtrack.
The prequel was kinda shitty, I hated hoe Chloe was manipulated by Rachel Amber, and I feel like it left out many plotpoints from the previous game (like how Rachel and Frank had a thing going on) and it dragged on a bit.
Life is Strange 2 was honestly disappointing, the main character gave me the I'm-to-kewl-2-care vibe and the episodes didn't feel like they made a continuous story line, just random shit that happened to them. The only character development that was happening was Sean getting edgy and careless, and Daniel getting more annoying (albeit still a young child, but still).

oof. So much suspense. Honestly, LiS1 was an Experience for me.
I liked Before the Storm too, tbf I don't know why people are not that enthusiastic about it. In some ways it hit me more than first season. I like chaotic complex female characters though, Rachel wasn't annoying me. Chloe was very manipulative towards Max, too. Adds to the realism and complexity of relationships, maybe.
The second season though… I just don't care about the characters. Not enough to even play beyond ep2, I've been putting off finishing the game for quite a time now. It's not the matter of not relating because they're not white chicks… I don't know. It just doesn't have the same magic? Hard to describe.

>>74659in the same vein,I really wish Rule of Rose(which is similar in a way as there's a female protag with a dog) got a remake with fixed game mechanics,since it was the biggest problem of the game which really ruined the experience.I haven't played it as it's one of the rarest games of PS2 because it was banned in a some countries,but I loved everything about it from the music and the atmosphere to the story and the characters and how they were all handled.Lots of thought was put in in and it's a shame it was rushed to the point the gameplay was so bad people were quitting it.It also got unfair flack for "lesbian" themes and abuse which were only subtle and handled pretty well imo.Stupid moral panic and shitty gameplay made this game obscure while it could be a horror classic like silent hill and I'm kinda salty more people dont know about it.
The chances of it being remade are slim as most people don't know it exists and atlus doesn't seem to care about remaking a game like this.It has a great story with sad themes and good twists.And for a 2006 game,the motion capture graphics looks pretty good even today compared to AAA full realistic games which look ugly and outdated

There was so much lore and so much to explore here. The characters are great and you feel like you're stepping into their world.

If you don't need the console and can freely use your bf's, don't buy it. It's a huge waste of money due to a retarded reason.
Of course go for it if you can't use your bf's switch at any time and as much as you want.

>>39790 and my personal intake on this. It really depends on what you are looking to, if you want to play your switch games on the go then I would go for the lite because it has a longer battery life and is more handy. The casual switch on the hand which I personally own, has more options but as I said, it depends on what you want. Read what suits your needs and then go for it.

anons I played FE Awakening back when it came out and am currently halfway through Three Houses and really like them both. Which other Fire Emblem games should I play? The only other tactical rpgs I've played are Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (which I adore) and Phantom Brave, if that matters.
No. 77378
>>77345Try to play FE Fates if you liked Awakening in terms of gameplay. It's the same thing but better/more balanced. There are three versions, Conquest, Birthright and Revelation. Conquest and Birthright are the base game but they're sold separately and they have different playable characters and classes, as well as different chapters (unlike 3H where all the routes have almost all the same maps for a long time except maybe CF but it's the shortest route by far). Birthright plays exactly like Awakening but more balanced. Conquest is way harder because of restricted money and lack of level grinding maps but has really good maps. The story isn't all that great and some of the really interesting things were removed for the localized versions because the story wasn't family-friendly enough and some people will tell you it's shit but the characters are ok for the most part. Just make sure to unlock supports between all the siblings to learn more about them.
It's recommended you play Revelation last because it reveals a bunch of plot points that stay mysteries in both base game routes. Not only this is wrong and other less expensive and more fun DLCs reveal actual things, the maps are super gimmicky and boring. And there's the fact that you can use almost all the characters from both versions but they have shit stats and levels in the chapters where they show up so there's no point to it. The only good thing from this version is if you want to play online but it's too late for that now. So imo you shouldn't bother with Revelation at all.
FE Echoes plays very differently from the other 3DS games but I wouldn't recommend it. I personally hated it, the original game aged like milk and almost nothing was modernized in this remake. Don't listen to people telling you the game is good because the art and voice acting is great because they mean that only these things are good.
I'm playing FE Blazing Blade right now and I'm enjoying it but I'm only at the beginning of the game (just unlocked Eliwood), so I can't give you an opinion yet on the GBA games.

The soulsborne games aren't nearly as difficult as people like to make them out to be. Just like any game, they require familiarity with the controls, and while there is a bit of a learning curve for some encounters, don't let the prospect of difficulty or the words of a buncha pansy-ass dudes dissuade you. The games are beautiful, full of depth and, once you get a hang of what you're doing, incredibly fun. Cheers, anon!

I was playing FE Sacred Stones and I'm currently in the second half of Eirika's route and I got so pissed at one of my unit getting killed from something completely unpredictable an hour into the chapter and from the RNG screwing me over and over again I gave up and decided to just play otome games I had on my backlog. Fuck it. The fucking fog mechanic and "you can see enemies in a room until you unlock it because fuck you" thing are total bullshit and any older fans who tell you they're great ideas are retarded or in total denial.

I also really want to play the original FF7 now because the remake or rather, knowing that the remake is more of a sequel made me kinda hyped.

Here's the thing I don't understand, TLoU is a very meh, big-budget video game written by people who obviously wished they were making movies instead, it's hardly ever stood out as the kind of game that would take risky steps like this, whatever your opinion of it. There seems to be more game devs who are trans than people working in cinema or TV, or atleast more vocal ones. Large portions of the gaming community are very trans-oriented, speedrunning for example has a huge amount of trans runners. My only explanation for it is that shit like Gamergate encouraged a split where you're either for wokeness, trans representation, etc. or you're super against it, feminismand SJWs, etc. The funny thing about TLoU2 is that no one is happy, transfolks hate that their representative is a villain, women hate that their representation is being diluted and the usual Twitter edgelords are mad the women aren't sexier and that there's anything "SJW-y" in their precious video games.

Ellie was always a tomboy, (which lacks massive representation, let's be real.) Women do come in all shapes and sizes. I've never met an extremely hyper femme or hyper masculine woman before. Usually women are just women, even if they wear skirts or sweat pants. The problem is Ellie was always pretty much a tomboy and there was no need at all to 'masc' her up to avoid hurt feelings. I just do not get this choice they are making. No one wins here.

so gruesome that it's absolutely over the top in how intense it is.

And to top it all off, the killer becomes the new main character. That's just sick and disturbing on so many levels and I'm not at all surprised at the claim that 70% of the original staff walked out. It's horrifying how anyone would think this was a good idea, especially when the marketing played so heavily on showcasing the lesbian couple.

>>86692That's so stupid. It's a post apocalyptic scenario and the player knows that Joel is far from being a saint but he did whatever he could to save Ellie from being vivisected.
In TLoU2, he gets brutally killed and then spat on. They even added that animation from Ellie's point of view when you see blood coming out of his cracked skull.
I liked the first game and I don't consider myself attached to the characters yet I found the scene disturbing.
And then to top it all, you're supposed to play as the killer, the totally buffed "woman" and care for her?
They try to make her extremely likeable by adding shit like she saves children with medicine which is so cheap.
Also, Abby is supposed to be a biological woman but looking at the model they used for making abby, they removed her curves and other sings of femininity on Abby which confirms what an article said that they deliberately make women looking more manly and men looking more feminine to be trans inclusive.

I just don't understand why they went with this plot for the sequel. There is no possible way they thought "murder the protagonist from the first game" was going to go over well with fans, even if the villain wasn't some weird social justice thing. It seriously feels like some gamergate parody, especially how they took the model for ellie's gf and literally gave her a hook nose and an incel chin.
>>86450Way back when the first game came out Neil Druckmann said in an interview when asked about a sequel that "I think the world is ripe for more stories, but as far as the journey Joel and Ellie goes on it ends with this game." Somehow that's turned into "let's do a sequel with these characters and then kill them off." I just really want to know the reasoning behind it. Like
>>86689 said, maybe they wanted the money a sequel would bring but knew they could never live up to the hype so decided they would rather have a complete trainwreck than another meh game? Did someone insist on having Ellie and Joel be in the sequel, but not care what actually happened to them? Is this all an elaborate set up for some shitty tv/movie spin-off? Find out next time on dragon ball z.
Also, I know everyone's forgotten/accepted it by now but it's still so weird to me how they insisted the ellie/ellen page thing was a coincidence. Even the names, and the fact that she's a lesbian.

I'm not too far into the 'main story' despite playing often because I've just been messing around with friends, but I recently discovered pic related and I just adore its design, I wish I could own one.

The fighting combo is also something that I need to know before buying. The trailer shows lots of story, which is good bc that's something I loved about the two first games.
I don't know how to feel about this. I would love to play a paper mario game again but I don't want to see this beloved franchise being ruined even more. I will put this on my wish list but I need some proper game play footage before I will make my purchase or not.

They give you every console the same old ports. The N64 and the Game Cube have tons of good games that are now sadly forgotten. If I remember it correctly they actually planned a N64 and GC virtual console on the switch but removed it for some reasons.
The reason why I would love to see this happen is because as a fan of a now dead franchise like fzero I could go back and enjoy these classics. Specially F-zero x is such a treasure. The gameplay and soundtrack are top notch and I say this as a person who normally hates racing games. Or idk some old zelda or Super Mario Sunshine, stuff like that. It was also speculated that Super Mario Sunshine gets a new entry of the series on the switch, which I hope happens because I remember really enjoying it as a kid lol

I've been playing a lot of horror games I've had in my backlog since working from home such as Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 3's remake & 7, Twilight Syndrome series for the PSX, and now currently playing Mother 3 (no spoilers please). FF7 Remake was also fantastic though I still have to replay chapters for the extra scenes. Animal Crossing for switch has been great but I'm taking a break after playing for about a month straight.
Anyone else playing games that they've had wanted to play but never had the time?
>>89461I played it the vanilla version it came out and was less than impressed with the story and characters. The battle system is probably the best in the Persona series yet but goddamn the writing was so shitty and inconsistent. It's cheap nowadays though so it's worth $10 or less to try it out.

I wish we could still get such games in the post-PS2 era! Why there were so many risky, interesting Japanese games on the PS2 and not so many later on?

I think PS2 absolutely had the best titles on there. It's still my favorite console ever made. All my favorite horror games exist on it. Like the original Silent hill 2-4 and Fatal frame series. I still need to hunt down Kuon, but that's gonna be a while before i get a good price for it. PS2 was superior because it was backwards compatible too. I played so many PS1 horror games on it.

- Elizabeth was locked away most of her life with no human interaction, but behaves like a quirky, cute Disney princess with above the average social skills
- audiologs being scattered around in Rapture made sense, as the whole city was pillaged. Why would people record their thoughts and leave them around in Columbia??
- the plasmids also made sense in the original game, scientific advancements being one of the themes. Why do vigors exist in Columbia? Noone other than Booker seem to be using them
- not an incostistency, but I hoped the game would address the themes of race/nationalism it started out with, and not dump it in the second half to introduce the parallel world shit
- the original trailer suggested that Songbird would have a bigger role
- it also portrayed Columbia as a huge open world area which it was..notokay I'm stopping now

I am a consoomer and ready to be hyped, but this is not it. There is no game that screams "new generation", they mostly look generic and just not as good as expected. That being said, I do like Horizon Zero Dawn 2 and the game where you are a stray cat in the future. And perhaps the announcements from Ubisoft and EA will be better.
I am not sure about Deathloop. It it the most creative game so far (not hard with that competition), but the trailer also did not convince me. The Resident Evil trailer was alright imo, but the way the reboot changed the whole series is still weird to me. They basically made a whole new setting and style, but still call it "Resident Evil".
No. 95676
>>95621To be honest they all looked like PS4 games when they showed gameplay. I have no idea how I'm supposed to see it as a next gen console when they seemed to peak at PS4, the trailer was mostly showing off how many floating particles they're able to render and idgaf about that. The games were pretty meh in general because they were just sequels or reboots of games I really had no interest in beforehand. But that's just my subjective opinion. Ghostwire and Demon's souls looked surprisingly good though but jesus christ the Resident Evil was a joke.
>>95665When I saw that fucking teenage furry game the first thing I thought was who sucked off who to get this licensed and greenlit. It literally looks like the creators are transbians who post fetish porn of their characters on Twitter, like no exaggeration I'm being serious and not just banting. Made me feel uncomfortable as hell.

>>95619I have mixed feelings about this, from what has been shown in the trailer, I fear they'll take a more bombastic approach à la Bloodborne/DkS3, losing the intimate and melancholic atmosphere that made the game so great (the world is supposed to be dull and muted due to the fog). It also looks like they are incorporating themes from the successor games that were not in DeS, many shots in the trailer were crepuscular, and the one with the skeleton in Shrine of Storms was a huge fail imo (also lol at hyping the reaper when it's one of the weakest ennemy in the game). A part of the original game's charm came from its simplicity and small scope, I fear that they won't translate it well.
Sorry for overanalyzing this 1 minute trailer, I'm a huge Soulsborne sperg and I've actually wanted a Demon's Souls remake for years, so I'm scared they'll fuck it up. I'm still hyped though, and if they actually include the sixth area and completely rehaul the world tendency system, that would be a huge improvement to the original game.

My favorite so far is Astrologaster but it's so incredibly niche idk if I can really recommend it. Shakespeare, astrology, and medicine.
I'd hoped at least one or two of the visual novels would be decent but so far it's mostly been bad tumblr art, edginess, or both.

Also, I thought someone was joking when they told me the leaked ending.
Here it is:
Ellie is about to kill Abby but realizes revenge is bad and lets her live. Abby still attacks her and eats(? maybe cuts off ?) her fingers. Ellie can't play guitar anymore and all her memories of Joel start fading.A good number of sources confirm that ending but I'm still hoping it's just a huge marketing ploy to create fuss about the game.

>>96384Even if the sex scene by itself wasn't so disgusting, movies are made to show a story and a sex scene is generally there to show the characters' relationship or because it's gonna be relevant somewhat. If it's not relevant then it's gonna be there for fanservice, as in, it's supposed to look sexy.
Here this is a sex scene in a video game. The point of a video game is to entertain gamers with good level design and gameplay. Stories are not necessary unless they're written for specific genres. If you wanted to show that these two characters are in love to each other and very close, you don't have to be that explicit in a video game because it brings nothing new or interesting to the table (and I can argue that this also applies to many movies and TV shows as well), just show the characters kissing and the screen fades to black or whatever. And it does't work as fanservice either for reasons I don't even have to explain. I already feel way better about my tiny breasts just knowing what the """woman""" looks like in this.

People shit on DS2 all the time but once you finish the entire game along with the dlcs, you feel like you've been on a really long journey. The one thing I like the most about DS2 is the choices you get to make in the end.
DS2 without dlcs is okay but the dlcs make all the difference. So get the Scholar of the First Sin. It's worth it imo. However playing online can be a bit tiresome. So many twinks when you're starting out since a lot of people have played it already. I got one shotted all the time.
>>96766Definitely. It feels as if the studio decided to not make Abby a tranny in the last moment so "she" looks like one but is officially a biological woman. I thought they would make a grand reveal during the pride month. The fact remains that they did intentionally cater to the trans populace by making female characters less feminine and male chars more feminine.

No. 97004
>>96975That's not even the only problem with the calendar system, it worked well in P3 because the story and the system where designed to go well together but in P4 and P5 it makes everything so needlessly long just to it can fit with the Japanese school/fiscal year so you have stupid shit like in P4 where the story is full of mystery and tension, you slowly but surely investigate and learn more about the world and the characters and then there are hours and hours of bullshit like the school trip, the fucking school festival and right after that the night at the ryokan. So you have to wait for the actual plot to happen.

>>96982Same, anon!! I dont understand the need for sequels. Look what happened to the Last of Us. It wasn't a perfect game by any means, but it was really good on its own. I thought it ended really well too.
Ellie knew Joel lied to her. For me, i think she knew and lived with the lie because it was all she could accept. I love Ellie and Joel's father/daughter relationship. Yes, people complained it was a glorified fetch quest and escort game, but it was genuinely new and fun to me. I dont see any reason why we needed a TLOU2, same with Bloodborne. To me, it's a near perfect game that had a solid ending, no matter which route you took. Dark souls already tried to cram so much into all 3 games. Those series should end and be stand alone. I want more souls type games, but it doesnt need to be in the same universe.

>>97008She was a model for the body, not the face. Makes sense since her discipline is crossfit, sth that would be definitely doable / good to be good at in the zombie apocalypse scenario such as TLOU2 setting. I would disagree Abby's face looks manly, she is not superfeminine, but just face-wise, she looks exactly like i'd imagine average woman in a circumstances in which you never focus on looking cute and pretty; but I guess it's subjective. Body-wise though she really looks identical to this Colleen Fotsch.
I do agree most of the women musculature looks somewhat different, Colleen seems to naturally have more narrow hips and barely pronounced waist, which contributes to her body to appear more masculine especially after such heavy workout she's doing, but she's still a woman and a proof a woman absolutely can look like this. So all of these comments online about Abby's having a man body are just narrow-minded and harmful.

For some reason, I had many dreams of talking with Kojima to the point I almost feel like I actually did. I bet plenty of spergs have an possibly unhealthy parasocial relationship with him.

No. 97361
>>97327As for appeal of Kojima, his gamedesign is very creative and daring - with 4th wall breaking and all that. No one treated games like this in terms of design when his biggest hits came out so the reputation is deserved. The stories he likes to tell tend to be a bit over the top but if you like this kind of aesthetic you'll be satisfied, it's just not for everyone. Issue with Death Stranding is that with the story it just ended up being too much - I assume because of lack of creative control he had with Konami, and the gameplay was too overhyped - calling it "new type of game" and so - to what it ended up being.
>>97350Not the person who called DS shit but I've also played it - it's not necessarily awful. It looks beautiful, cinematics are impressive, character design is - in my opinion - really great too. It has a few "wow" moments, especially in the exploration, and the music is absolutely top tier - I seem to have similar taste to Kojima when it comes to licensed songs, but these pale in comparison to the job Ludvig Forssell did with the original soundtrack. Unfortunately gameplay doesn't match the epicness of it, combat is very barebones and uncreative - you punch you shoot you toss stuff and that's all - and your main task, being a delivery man, is often very frustrating. This said, if you can get the game for discounted price - like -50% sale or something - it's still worth checking out.

I get that it's not as simple as 'Kojima good, Konami bad' but there is a reason why everyone hates them.
>Being unique and bizarre doesn't automatically make you good.Absolutely. But for many people Kojima's brand of 'unique and bizzare' IS good. It's a matter of taste. You also have to remember that he was the first to constantly input original ideas into his games. Just read any interview to find it out. Not to mention the crazy attention to detail. Apparently he used to stay overnight when working on MGS to make sure that the desks in a room are not the same and it's just a single example. I think MGS2 is even better when it comes to this.
What other people do you have in mind that are comparable to Kojima when it comes to gameplay? Would love to give their games a shot (if I hadn't already).
>>97379I will be honest, I did not love DS as much as I loved MGS (even though I was really hyped). But you cannot experience the game just through the cutscenes. The exhausting gameplay is part of the story. You will not get DS if you don't walk in Sam's shoes.
I was constantly feeling overwhelmed with all the packages that Sam can deliver, the difficult to climb terrain, the loneliness of the world. It really felt like something when I saw a structure made by another player or met those friendly porter NPCs. Not everyone will enjoy the gameplay, but I absolutely disagree that watching the cutscenes is enough.
Finishing DS felt like hard work to me (I really loved the Cliff battles cause they allowed me to rest and reminded me of MGS, especially Snake Eater) and that's why I ignored many side quests. My boyfriend absolutely loved the game and 100% it. He enjoyed all the planning and preparing before each delivery SOO MUCH! If you are a certain type of person, you will love Death Stranding.
No. 97448
>>97443Regarding wow moments in exploration, of course it's subjective, but what i mean specifically is the pacing and the cinematic vibe of entering new locations. It happened plenty of times throughout the game but the one that impressed me the most is entering Port Lake City area. All the quests before that are a struggle to say the least, you escape the BTs, you climb up that hill with all the cargo, seeing nothing but the more dangerous climb ahead of you, and when you finally reach the top of the hill, you see this amazing panorama of the big lake shimmering in the sun, camera pans back for more cinematic frame and Asylums For The Feeling song begins to play. It was an incredibly beautiful moment for me, a pay-off for all the struggle prior. A lot of this game is designed like that, a struggle - a pay-off. It wasn't always balanced enough to be worth the struggle part, but for the few touching moments I had in this game, I'd still consider it a good experience overall.
Also, though completely unrelated to environments, my need of more Higgs encounters kept me going too because I just love over-the-top, pretentious villains like this.
No. 97522
>>97444I'm not suprised that everyone hates them. I was mainly talking about the quality of the games of Kojima under Konami and Kojima free to do whatever comes to his mind with a giant budget and (in my opinion) make a very mediocre and forgettable game.
Of course liking his way of telling a story is a matter of taste in the end, altough some of his decisions are objectively far from that of a genius (again, I'm referring to DS).
And what exactly are you talking about that is so groundbreaking in gameplay? I know he basically invented the stealth genre with the MGS series, but so did Doom and Wolfentein with the FPS genre, Resident Evil with the survival horror and zombies, MegaTen, FF and Dragon Quest with the RPGs each with their own spin, and I could go on and on with titles you probably already know. If you refer to unique aspects within the game, there are tons of indie or lesser known games with original things. But Kojima's name will always be put above any other anyway.

Anyway, troons on ResetEra are freaking out because Cyberpunk 2077 NPCs will refer to you as he or she depending on the voice you choose. (deep voice -> he, high voice -> she) So they can't live out their fantasies by making the feminine character they think they look like with their deep man voice and be called a she.

Yes, this is asking too much, just asking that a non-fetish game let you choose you genitals is asking too much, because this is what this looks like now, a fetish. Stop calling it diversity, wokeness or representation and just say you just want to validate your boner.
The worst part is that they almost never buy this sort of things, movies, series, games, comics, they all end up being huge floops because all they do is ask but never pay for any of this, but still complain when no one does it either because why support the thing you cry about like if anyone other than you would care for it.

TBH though, cyberpunk as a genre is VERY trans-inclusive, we're talking about concept where you can change entire part of your body at will. Ofc SJWs from resetera are annoying with their expectation that the game is only about this and will pander to ALL of their expectations, but I cringe even more at people who think inclusivity in this case is some kind of pandering.

>>98953I kinda ship Felix with Dimitri in my head tbh but their epilogue is obscenely lame with
the latter taking a wife and seemingly fucking the former on the side or some shit so I'll keep to the Byleth/Dimitri route.
Felix and Annette have really cute and natural chemistry so I'll probably pair him up with her. Their early support lines so far have been endearingly dorky and I like that he's not tsun around her, he's just kinda sweet.
Byleth has no personality so I feel like Felix would be a waste on her, which could be said for any character/Byleth tbf. Idk who likes to play as these completely dull protagonists but it sure ain't me. I wish my avatar wasn't such a husk, I'd rather RP as someone with a personality and try to walk in their shoes instead of "self inserting" into a completely blank slate. Self-inserting as a concept doesn't really work imo because the other characters can't play off the protagonist when they protagonist has to stay neutral to allow the "self insert" in the first place. It's paradoxical.
Wow I be spergin.
No. 98986
>>98973If you observe Felix with other characters in the game, he's always got his guard up and generally avoids being around them. His tsundere shit is also borderline
toxic due to how he seldom drops that act. The other characters always seek him out first, and during the conversations he's always seen trying to get out of hanging out, or is insulting them.
Annette though, Felix is the one who purposely finds her to spend time with her and does not put up a wall around her. Annette is a bit of a ditzy loser tbh but their dynamic is cute due to what she does to Felix. I think Annette makes Felix feel safe, which enables him to interact with her without his defense mechanism of being a huge bitch. I also dislike Annette's dynamic with all the other characters so it helps that she has a unique effect on Felix.
My pairings are prob gonna be
Byleth/Dimitri
Ingrid/Sylvain
Ashe/Mercedes (I hate Mercie but they cook together and it's nice)
Catherine/Shamir
Not sure who I'm gonna recruit, Dorothea has been a useful mage and I read she gets a good ending with Petra so might bring them both on board. I'm open to recs on who to recruit!

>>98986I think we have really opposite tastes when it comes to the characters lol, I love Mercedes For example. I like Annette and Felix a lot, but when they're together in their supports they're so boring. I don't know if you're aware of it but be careful if you want specific pairings for the epilogue, it's not like in Awakening and Fates where you can pick and choose thanks to the S rank supports for everyone. It's automatic, there's a system with points and some pairings have more maximum points than others. In the BL route if you max out everyone's support points and don't marry anyone you'll have pairings like Dimitri/Dedue or Sylvain/Felix be the default because they have more points together than, say, Annette/Dedue or whatever. It's kinda hard to explain but because of that if you change your mind at the end of the game and want Byleth to marry Dedue or Ashe or anyone else, some of the characters' priority list will change. But it's not an important gameplay feature like in Awakening and Fates so whatever.
>>99139I just got my own Switch and I already play JRPG since forever so I'm kinda biased, but I'd say, just try free demos and see what you think about it. There's no Xenoblade demo so I'm hesitating a lot for this series myself, but I can tell you that so far you have free demos for Trials of Mana, Dragon Quest 11, Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default 2. I think for all of them you can use the saved data for the full game later if you like them and buy them so it's not even a waste of time. I've heard the DQ11 demo is like 10h long too.

It's like taking a step into a prison Do you see why the game is not popular with weebs? It's unpleasant and hard-hitting, and not even in the escapist way Undertale's genocide route is. You don't get too feel bad about murdering cutesy uwu characters. Everyone in Lisa is a shit person and the world is horrible as well.
Both Lisa and Undertale are inspired by Earthbound/Mother (I would say Undertale downright rips off the writing when it comes to humor which made me dislike the game immediately) and have some meta elements, but they are very different tonally.

The Blair Witch game is creepy and is okay as far as survival horror goes; I love that you have a dog, made me think of Clock Tower and Haunting Ground. The dog is also super useful to you–he alerts to enemies, finds items (of course) and instead of a HUD he'll basically lead you through the map if you get really stuck. It looks cool, the artists did a good job of making the trees look like bones and weird creatures. There are some cool mechanics that come straight from the recent sequel–you can look at the monsters through your camera, and there's also a way to rewind reality by using special tapes–but there were too many parts of the game where it turned into a walking simulator that went on for too long. I liked it but ultimately it made me want to play older games, tbh.

>>99387"Simplified" does kind of equal "bad" for this genre. Combat depth is the whole point of a stylish action game like this. Bayonetta is already the casual version, if she ends up playing and finishing Bayo she can move on to play a more challenging version that is equally zany and fun but with more combat depth.
DmC offers nothing on that front, takes its own edge way too seriously and has worse gameplay.

>>99139Anon, please feel free to sperg about Lisa. I truly loved the Painful and enjoyed the Joyful, and I found it resonated with me a lot more than Undertale (I found the meta aspects of Undertale tiring).
Who did you have in your party? I think I used Bo, Birdie and Jack the most, but I also used Terry and Harvey. Did you go armless or Joyless? I did both at the same time, and apparently that nets you the achievement for neither lmfao
No. 99425
>>99404Ugh god bless you anon. I played Undertale first because a friend recommended it to me. I thought it was fun, but I didn't really get that attached to the characters so I couldn't get into the fandom hype. I played Lisa the Painful because I saw it mentioned briefly in a Youtube video. I went in pretty much blind as to what to expect. A month later I finished the Joyful as an emotional mess (
the "fight" with Brad…) and was incredibly attached to all of the characters.
I had Olan, Nern, and Beastborn as my final party. I kind of gave Terry away in the beginning (oops lol). I wish I tried harder to recruit more party members because I feel like I missed out, especially with Bo! I finished Joyless with one arm, but they really should have a unique achievement for a Joyless and armless playthrough- especially for a game that rewards players based on how much pain they go through lol.
I'm not sure why this game had such an impact on me. I've played quite a few games since then, but no vidya makes me comfier (or more of a sperg) than Lisa. Would love to know your thoughts and experiences with the game, anon! Why did you end up playing it and what aspects really resonated with you?
No. 99426
>>99404NTA but I wish Lisa was ported to Switch. I played it a few years ago during a shitty time in my life, but never finished it as my laptop died. I wanna finish it (as well as play the sequel and fangames), but I hate playing on the computer. It makes it very hard for me to focus on the game.
It's a shame that I lost all my saves because I was halfway through.
I agree with you about Undertale. I found the game so preachy I did not give a single fuck about the characters (even though usually I make the good choices as I don't want to make the NPCs unhappy). I murdered Toriel because she annoyed me so bad and shut the game. Fuck you, you uwu piece of shit and fuck you Toby Fox into attempting to force me to feel bad about a bunch of pixels 'dying' when you programmed it into the game in the first place. All the meta aspects drew my attention to the fact that none of this shit is real, instead of the opposite. I gave Undertale another shot, but never went past the Undyne battle.

>>99426ntayrt, I'm
>>99425, but I also felt the same way about Undertale! It was fun, but I thought the 'message' was stupid. The whole time it felt as if the game was shoving into my face "look how different these characters are! they're sympathetic instead of one-dimensionally evil! look how different this game is! your actions actually have consequences!"
Like who cares if vidya NPCs are one-dimensional and only exist for the player's selfish wish fulfillment? Isn't that the whole point of videogames? When I'm fighting NPCs for exp, I don't care whether they have sympathetic motivations or not when they're not even real. It's not revolutionary to point out how videogame dynamics don't translate well into reality. If I want to be an opportunistic, selfish asshole in a game, I obviously know that I can't act that way real life. Toby thinks he's being deep but anyone with a brain (or over the age of 18) realizes this without needing to have it pointed out to them.
To go back to Lisa, I think the game does a really good job of making you actually feel bad when you do something selfish without forcing it in your face. That's why the decisions you make in the game are so painful even if they really have no bearing in real life. I didn't give a fuck when I killed Toriel, but when a party member died in Lisa I was always pretty devastated lol. It's a shame the game isn't ported to the Switch, because I think it would translate to a handheld console really well. Wishful thinking, but maybe if we tweet at Austin enough he'll do it kek.

>>99425A good friend of mine recommended Lisa to me because he knows I love Mother 3 and Yume Nikki, and thought I would like Austin's unpolished art style as well. I bought it and played it right around the time Undertale was coming out, and I'm really glad I played Lisa first. I really like the amount of options the game presents you with, even though the story itself is quite linear. I wasn't expecting so many side quests in an indie rpg for some reason, so I spent a lot of time exploring Olathe and trying to find different guys to recruit. The atmosphere is great, going from giving me a sense of adventure to feeling complete and utter dread, like that one wallpapered hallway that leads to a room full of meat(?). I also think the options of sacrificing Brad's arms, choosing to use Joy or not gives the game a lot of replay value.
I adore the cast, and think Austin did a great job portraying love, guilt, and trauma, that drive Brad as a character. I can't say I dislike everyone, and love how flawed everyone is. Everyone just kind of sucks and there's no real sense that one character is truly morally superior to another? I know the script isn't anything that deep, but pic related has really stuck with me lol
I also really liked how at certain points, you can't control Brad when it comes to him slipping to a Joy withdrawl. I felt helpless in some situations and didn't care what happened in others, because sometimes seeing Brad wail on a "bad" dude was cathartic. I think that was an interesting choice as far as gameplay goes.
I also gave Terry away in the beginning! I immediately felt awful afterwards though, so I made sure to let him live in my second playthough.
>>99476 As you say here, the game does an amazing job of making you feel bad by doing very little instead of having a character come on screen and tell you that the character you killed had a family, or you're a bad person for letting them die. I don't need to be told I'm a bad person, I should have that feeling organically or not. The script shouldn't have to tell me how I should be feeling.
>>99426 I would love a Lisa port to switch too. I hope one comes out so you'll have a chance to finish the game! I agree with out on the meta aspects being distracting. Toby Fox is constantly shoving the fact that you're playing a game in your face rather than you naturally becoming engrossed in the story.
You can have all the cutesy uwu furry characters you want, but none of them warmed my heart like a Rando did.

>>99860I think it's already good enough that this proves the first trailers from 2017 weren't just for show. I think with how consoles are nowadays devs need to take more time to develop their games, so I'd rather just wait until we get more info and a well made game rather than yearly half-assed released like with Pokémon.
>>99862Yeah, I feel like being able to choose between a male or female protagonist wouldn't change anything and would be just a slight change of character design, unlike in Persona where that could give you new or different social links and love interests. That would still be cool if we could get a female protagonist someday but that would just be a small bonus imo. I think the girl who's with the protag in the first trailers will be the heroine and be as important as him but will be able to talk, just like Hitomi/Nemissa in Soul Hackers or Asahi in SMT4A, but who knows.

>>99908 The big differences gameplay wise are 1) the social sim stuff in persona is almost comepletely absent in the main smt series.
2)You negotiate with demons, like you can in p5, but in SMT games you can actually recruit demons as party members and fuse them into more powerful demons. In fact, recruiting demons is essential as human party members are either few in number, temporary, or nonexistent depending on the game. 3) The SMT games have a reputation of being really difficult, but tbh it depends on which game your playing. The later games even have adjustable difficulty levels and the option to save wherever you want.

It's just people arguing that a trans character isn't pictured as absolutely perfect by their own crazy criteria despite the fact that said character is a very incredibly flattering representation of trans women compared to how they're like irl
and that's despite "her" having sex with a guy without telling him anything>>99908What that anon said is accurate
>>99913 but I also wanted to add that the atmosphere and stories in mainline SMT games is different from how Persona 3, 4 and 5 are (and even 1 and 2 but they're not as popular so I'm assuming you haven't played them.) Persona as a whole is about teenagers trying to prevent bad things from happening, including the apocalypse, while generally most SMT games take place during or after the apocalypse and instead of being urban fantasies, they're more cyber punk. And you have several endings too. If you have a 3DS you should try SMT4, and if you like that one then play the sequel, SMT4 Apocalypse. And SMT Strange Journey is counted as part of the mainline series if you like both games.

There are a couple linear choices he makes but depending on what road you take, they are forgiven. He's a flawed character for sure but human.
It is a sexually charged game, not particularly fanservice though. The game is inherently sexual, it's a story about a man cheating and what he does about it, it HAS to be sexual. If you choose the sexy character, she will send you lewds, if you choose the cool character, you will reminisce about your long term relationship.
The game isn't perfect for sure, but it's interesting imo. I played it specifically for the style and was pleasantly surprised.

Playing the original will surely give you the basics of what Catherine has to offer if you want a cheaper route though.

None of the people from VtM:B are involved with this project.
From the previews and demos the game looks bleak as hell, empty streets, no ambience, stiff character models.
There's also this:
>Throughout the project, the VFX team has been very small. There have been times when no one was working on FX at all! We’ve had some talented people come and go from the project, and the final result is a blend of everyone who has touched Bloodlines 2. At our height, working with outsourcing partners, we had 7 VFX artists working full time on the project, but for the majority of the time it has been a single VFX artist with Tech-Art support. (Hiring VFX artists is hard!) We’re very proud of what we’ve been able to achieve given the limited resources we had throughout the project.>https://www.bloodlines2.com/en/putting-the-blood-in-bloodlinesI'm definitely not holding my breath.
Anyway, we can still enjoy Bloodlines, which is still one of the best videogames ever made.
>mfw playing the Ocean House quest right now, feels so good>>100390Nope, go for it. VtM:B is one hell of a ride, enjoy it.
Remember to torrent the game, because Activision a shit that fucked over the devs big time and deserves no money, and - very important - install wesp5's unofficial patch. During installation don't click on the plus patch, just go with the "basic" one, at least for your first run.
It's also advisable imo that you don't play as Malkavian for your first run. It might be a bit confusing, plus Malk is more enjoyable after you've already beaten the game once, since you'll be able to put the pieces together and realize how prophetic the voices were.

When Lulu showed up and talked for the first time her kinda raspy voice sounded familiar and then I learned she's the same voice actress as Camilla in FE Fates (and only the original, it's someone else in the FE spinoffs), no wonder she kind of sounded like a grandma at times.
>My favorite lineup was Auron the DILF samurai, Wakka the chad baller and of course Yuna for healing and summoningI like Auron a lot and he's very useful with his debuff skills but by the end of the game I completed his part of the sphere grid and he was so slow he was borderline useless against the final boss. I like using Rikku a lot, when she joined the team I thought she was going to be too weak to be useful but her overdrive is insane once you get good items. I heard Wakka has some of the best overdrives but you get them by winning blitzball tournaments and fuck blitzball.

>>100911P5 is the only Persona game I've played and I feel like if I picked up P4 now I'd just be underwhelmed. Not implying that it's a bad game but pretty much almost any jrpg pre-P5 pales in comparison. People can hate on the story and the cast all they want but they can't deny that the game is peak performance with gameplay, dungeon layout, soundtrack, graphics and interface design. It all just works together so well that picking up pretty much any RPG after it feels like a bargain bin experience.
But anyway I always wonder how much a shitty English dub affects a person's opinion on a game. I always play with the original Japanese audio and even before dual audio became a thing I got the hacked undub patch because I'm ESL and don't have the internalized need for dubs. I once saw clips of P4 with the dub and almost ended up projectile vomiting all over the walls, how anyone can stand engdubs is beyond me.

I also liked how the P3 cast was just cold to each other until Yukari tells everyone that they're a bunch of retards, that Mitsuru is hiding important stuff from everyone, and how everyone slowly became close friends after that and a bunch of events later.
Unpopular opinion, I don't like Aigis because she feels really out of place for being a kawaii robot waifu obsessed with (you) when the rest of the cast is way more normal and relatable, and while Yukari is written to kinda be the MC's counterpart/love interest, she isn't attached to his hips 24/7But the P5 cast was kinda disappointing, I haven't finished the game but I don't really plan to because I was playing at a friend's home. I didn't like how the first arc was so good, the characters were so interesting and the stakes felt personal for everyone involved, and then the rest of the game becomes a parody of itself, the cast feels too bloated and Morgana is just bootleg!Teddie without the fun or interesting parts. He's just there to be a cute mascot.

>that picking up pretty much any RPG after it feels like a bargain bin experience. lol let's not get ahead of ourselves, P5 has so many cutscenes and moments where the game prevents you from actually playing (either telling you to go to sleep or telling you in the middle of a dungeons to leave when you're having fun fighting shadows/demons) that it becomes obnoxious really fast. I don't dislike it but it's not for everyone and when I want to actually play a JRPG that's similar I just go back to mainline SMT or other megaten spinoffs.

>>101153Because Karen is the new politically correct synonym for "Roastie". They love to abuse the fuck out of it because it's woke and a free pass to be misogynistic.
>>101162Just make fun of them being whiny faggots with mommy issues. The worst they can do is say "tits or gtfo" or something but just knowing I hurt their tender male pride enough for them to even notice my post is enough.

>>101068Holy shit, Sonic Adventure brings me back. Not just the awful voice acting during the cutscenes, but the unintentional humor that came from the BGM being louder than the talking and the bizarre face movements. GOTY
And now that I think about it I definitely used Rikku's mix to get some OP status effects. Auron's hp and strength really helped me but I'm not much of a strategist…
Also never played blitzball even though the music slaps, it's tedious as hell! Poor Wakka

Sage for samefag but let's keep the thread alive because I see we're all sick of /v/. I started FF10-2, I'm having fun with it so far and like that the game's progression is different from FF10's. But I'm about to lose my shit, I was doing a bunch of stuff for like 20 minutes in the Macalania forest, was looking for a save sphere and suddenly the game crashed. It never happened to me before when using my PSVita so I have no idea if that comes from the game or the console but I'm so mad.

I love immersive sims and playing Prey as fem Morgan was some kind of awakening for me. I wish I could do all immersive sim badassery as a girl. The characters are suddenly talking to YOU, about you: "She is this, she does that, her brother…"
It's so cool. I didn't know what I was missing out with immersive games in general.

Since there are so many Atlus fans in this thread, did any of you play Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine when it was still alive ages ago? Looking back at it now, wow it was kinda ugly. But I spent huge amount of hours in it back in a day.

>>101126 and of course I was being hyperbolic, jesus christ. I really don't understand why so many purist Persona/SMT oldfag fans hate Persona 5 so much and their reasoning always seems to leads back to "I didn't like the cast as much as I did in P4/Stupid weebshit borrowed elements from my pure big brain SMT games so it was shit ree".
The reason why Persona 5 was such a great game was that I've played so many rpgs in my life and been lamenting how the quality had dropped like a rock in the 2010's with subpar soundtracks and boring dungeons in particular. P5 absolutely rejuvenated the genre for me and the 10 years of development definitely show on the screen for me personally. Playing other games of the same era after finishing a run of P5 feels like they aren't trying as hard and are only checking things off the lists. I'm really hoping for other developers to follow the set example.

>>101765Me! I am a huge HM/SoS fan and was really excited for this remake. I like it so far, but a few things make it really difficult for me to thoroughly enjoy the game. I don’t like the graphics, it looks like a polished mobile game and especially the characters walking around look so ugly. I am not even against the chibi style (MM is one of my favorite games of the series), it just looks so cheap, especially for a Switch game! The drawn character portraits are cute imo, some just are too far away from the originals like Popuri and Karen.
The other thing I dislike is how quickly the time goes by. It doesn’t give me enough time to enjoy the game and my daily chores, it puts constant pressure on me and I always feel stressed when running from A to B to get something done before it is 5PM. This is a farming/dating simulator ffs, not Majora’s Mask. I wish there was an item to slow down time. I also wish there still were rival marriages. And after playing ACNH, some things are a bit underwhelming in general. I understand why a HM/SoS game does not have graphics as polished as Animal Crossing, but also things like fishing that AC or even older console HM games get right are boring in this remake.
I do like the simplicity of the game a lot and enjoy the usual things like farming, cute animals, story events and the general atmosphere. I am glad there is a proper mine again, because while I loved the newer SoS games, they did lack a lot from the originals.
I guess I am very ready for a proper console Story of Seasons and I hope they are working on one. I wish they would make a game like Animal Parade again.

>>101506As someone who played a lot of jrpgs, P5 isn’t a good one. Its presentation is amazing and the ost is one of my favorites (though, it has less tracks than other persona games. A shame.) but the story is botched in its second half, Haru is there being nothing other than a new addition to the team and nothing more of substance, the whole cast is either dumb or annoying most of the time and the battles are easy (even on the highest difficulty).
Royal added a new female character (which is actually nice but a tiny bit too ‘perfect waifu material’ to sell the game) and a new dungeon with Akechi, also a nice addition… and i have to admit, the dungeon crawling isn’t repetitive (except for mementos) and is actually a big step compared to the other games but the message delivered by the story is watered down so much and the cast is so irritating (except maybe for the boy Yusuke and maybe a bit Ann) i can’t say P5 is the best jrpg i’ve ever played.
It’s a good jrpg but i have to laugh when i see people claiming it’s the best. It’s overrated as fuck. Love it all you want i don’t care but claiming people are exaggerating when they’re bashing the game rightfully so, after paying and playing it, is also a bit much in my book.

>>101613Like it more for the aesthetics and atmosphere than the actual gameplay. Some sections really dragged and the interesting mini-games like the radula rooms and the chess were too infrequent. Have you played the original American Magee's Alice? It's the first game in the series, much creepier and more well-rounded IMO. The music is better too.
Who else has played the Cat Lady? I'm honestly in love with it.

>>101765>>101847I just came here to ask this as well lol. Im really enjoying it, usually, I am really bad at HM/SoS games but this one is super easy and relaxing. I keep finding it hard to put it down cause I'll be like 'one more day' and then I'll get through the week in game.
I agree with a lot of what the 2nd anon said, the time is really annoying and I do wish it was a lot slower. Sometimes I stand in buildings where time freezes just to relax cause I feel like I'm having to run everywhere and not stop.
Animal Parade has my favourite art style out of all of the games, I wish they'd put it on the switch or something.
What characters is anyone thinking of marrying? I really love Elly she's so cute so I will probably marry her but I also like Ran, Kai, Gray and Popuri.

>>101847yeah i agree the graphics could be better,im fine with the chibi style as well…
And MM is my fav too! Thinking of replaying it soon.
I kinda wish that they would have included some new features like the clothing making from the previous SoS titles..i miss having glasses.
