since it hasn't been posted yet here on the new site, I'll do so we have a steam group! we don't really do much, but rostran targo decided to make one so there you go. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tohno-chan
I once had a conversation about buying games on steam sale. I bragged that I had X games in sum, and it only cost me Y $. My conversation partner responded: "that's still Y $ you've spent." That's pretty much the point where I stopped buying games I wasn't 100% sure I wouldn't play in the near future.
>>10696 You're thinking about it the wrong way; http://www.dorkly.com/post/64641/the-true-purpose-of-steam-sales
There's always another STEAM sale...
Let's go, girls!!
Tabletop Simualtor is a piece of software that lets you play tenths of thousands of board games uploaded to Steam Workshop.
By my count it's been 13 weeks since we set the new time and we managed to play something on 12 of those so we're doing pretty well. We've played over 25 different board games by now. Don't be afraid of the new kid on the block syndrome, we don't play anything that's too complex to explain right before the game.
>>14115 Looks like someone was board of that game.
>>14116 Not sure if I'm not just replying to the person who drew that to begin with but here goes anyway. Since most of the games we play are new to almost everybody in the group there are times when there's a lot of downtime for other players because somebody is thinking about their options or plain confused about some rules. That's inevitable with new games. Eventually we'll get past that point when people will familiarize themselves more with the games. For now we can be grateful there are some ways of killing that downtime (like doodling). We're still playing on Sundays, at 23GMT. Newcomers welcome.
After a few weeks worth of break the group will start meeting up to play games again, starting today! The 'new' time is 22GMT, we're still playing on Sundays, and as per usual newcomers are welcome.
I searched every board and could not find a thread for this. Either I am blind or there is not one. Yes, I know there's a Dwarf Fortress thread, but that is not the same thing. My favorite game is Nethack and I never get a chance to talk about it. I suppose I sometimes do in the IRC, but IRC is too fast for me. Anyone here play Nethack?
Does Path of Exile count as a roguelike; especially with the extra difficulty of connection lag? XD
>>11493 sir, please take your non-ascii bullshit back to its proper containment thread
>>11496 No. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OosC1E8TVM
Does DiabloI and DiabloII count as rogue-like? It even has a rogue class in the games.
I feel like playing something, like an rpg. I don't know where to look or who to trust when it comes to recommendations since out there it's a flood of garbage and ulterior motives. Strategically focused and good aesthetics are mainly what I'm looking for. A good story is preferable. Something with a pc version too. Even better if it has risque elements. The last game I played was Monster Girl Quest Paradox, so something in that vein would be nice.Post edited on 2nd May 2021, 9:08am
>>14246 >Saga Frontier Remaster Looks interesting. Thanks.
>>14241 It doesn't imply anything, I don't play games in order or particularly care if a game is old or not, Soul Nomad just happens to be one of my favourite RPG's ever and it fits the criteria. And obviously I don't play all games and PC isn't even a platform I use for most of the year, so extrapolating my recommendation to a supposedly terrible situation of the RPG genre is just an awful idea. If you were asking for newer games then I guess Valkyria Chronicles would also fit, IV is relatively new, though I can't say too much about the story.
Bravely Default is my favorite RPG
Can you recommend me Switch RPGs, /vg/?
To those it may interest, this game just got officially released on Steam.
Wasn't it free before though? I already read through it in the past, but I remember little from. I remember the ending was quite out of the way for what I expected.

Anyone picking up Dark Souls in a couple weeks? I don't have a PS3, so I never played Demon's Souls, but the difficulty and its supposed fairness, plus the great combat made me interested in the game. Pretty much the same reasons Monster Hunter attracted me. I'm watching a let's play of Demon's Souls to get an idea of what I'll be up against so I'm not completely blind when going into Dark Souls. I'm almost thinking of buying a one or three month pack subscription for Xbox Live to get the full experience.

So disappointing.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPa99MRvtmk
Could I interest you all in ELDEN RING? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Huy2cdih0
General nostalgia thread. What were your favorite games growing up? I loved playing Sunset Rider, even though I couldn't play worth a shit. I'd spend hours trying to beat a level. I just found it on a rar'd pack of ROMs I dled.
Remember when Capcom made good games other than just Monster Hunter? Capcom after 2010 sucketh.
>>12419 If by 2010 you actually mean 2005, then yes, I remember.
>>12420 Opps, got the date wrong. Also BLIZZARD trading *hard* on nostalgia with Diablo2 necro (now with female model!) and StarCraft Remastered (HD graphics and 5.1 stereo sound but no gameplay changes).
>>12419 Should have made Street Fighter 3 look like the anime movie.
Post funny and/or interesting screenshots here!
Back street's back... oh yeah.

I was so impressed by this that I decided I'd build a base right here. Then I never built it.

This thread is for the sharing and discussion of unreported bizarre bugs that you've come to encounter during your time playing videogames. I'll start with this one from Fallout New Vegas: I was at the Freeside entrance to the Strip, when one of those random maniac vagrants appeared. I used VATS to kill him. But VATS was very slow, even more so than normal, much slower than usual. It took almost a minute to the bullet to hit the guy. I tried it again, same result. I went to pip-boy to see if there was something wrong, so I pressed B and pip-boy opened, when I pressed B again, the pip-boy closed but at the same time, I fired my weapon. I tried this one more time, same result. I tried to shoot normally, it would work only with the B button, and it seemed slower, I couldn't connect two shots very fast, with semi-automatic and fully auto weapons, the weapon fired only once, then a pause and I could fire again. Knifes and similar hand-to-hand combat weapons also worked like this. But they would respond to the normal RT trigger, to attack. The knife wouldn't connect the slashing attacks like it should, but only slash once, return to initial position and then I could slash again. I tried loading another save, but nothing worked. I exited the game and removed the CD, it was very hot, VERY hot, almost burning. I left it outside to cool down, and next time I played everything went to normal again.
Bug only the beta version of the SNES port https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-05-24-how-street-fighter-2s-mythical-unwinnable-matchup-was-finally-proven-30-years-after-it-began#comments Arcade perfect ports were still not there yet at the time.

It's funny to think that I was nuts about PlayStation back during the 1-3rd gens, like -crazy- about them. So much so I bought the ps3 at launch after preordering it. I've even owned dozens of psps over the years. but the 4th and now 5th have left a real bad taste in my mouth. Call me petty but stuff like replacing the select button with a "share" button made me not want to buy a ps4. Xbox was the system for social normalfags who played with friends and did online crap. Playstation was for the single player nerds who played in their dark rooms alone every night, like me. Their move to more online and social interactions have been alienating to say the least. I'd rather just stick with PC gaming and probably wont pick up a ps5 until years from now when they're being sold at half the price second hand, maybe by then the system will have a few appealing games. As it is, it doesn't have any, not for me anyway.
>>14221 I don't quite have the same brand loyalty as you do but I'm quite similar. I grew up with both the PS1 and 2 and still emulate both from time to time. For a long time the idea of owning a different console was just never a possibility. The direction they are going now feels like a "betrayal" for a lack of better word. I still like and prefer consoles but frankly nothing in the market appeals to me. I never really think too much over it but it's funny how important a brand's image is in relation to its consumers, as you've said xbox always has this sporty, extroverted personality to it for example.
Is there still a PS5 shortage?
>>14259 There's a shortage of ps5 gamz

Nioh 2 was fun & a good sequel gameplay-wise.
2017 was a good year
>>14242 Funny how things just keep getting worse and worse, so people take a step forward as a good sign, even after taking 20 steps back.
>>14242 All this tells me is that either people are making poorer choices with their money, or people have more money to blow on stupid shit. Hell, it's probably not an exclusive-or situation.
