Tabletop Simualtor is a piece of software that lets you play tenths of thousands of board games uploaded to Steam Workshop.
After a longer break our group has resumed meeting up regularly. Our new meetup time is 22GMT on Sundays. If any of you are interested drop by on IRC; the overwhelming majority of games we play is so easy the rules can be explained 5 minutes before the game.
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.
What do you think the best game console is? I know emulators make this largely irrelevant, but if you had to have one console in your room with every game available to it, what would it be?
>>14013 I take back my attempt to reason with you. Please refund me my time.
>>14017 Ur an idiot.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
>>14018 I suppose that was a bit rude of me. Not sure if you're the same anon or not, but if you're going to break down my posts like that to argue each and every word, it really makes me not even want to respond. It only tells me you're that much of an argumentative person and I don't want to get dragged into an argument, especially not that type. I've seen it enough times to tell that sort of debate goes back and forth until one person gets frustrated or tired and stops responding.

ITT: Post all of your unpopular opinions about anything related to games.
Cammy is cute but hard to play
>>12395 Hard doesn't equal good but I like gameplay with a low skill floor but high skill ceiling.
>>13273 Also CAPCOM USA is very different to CAPCOM JAPAN
>>14122 That's not an unpopular opinion but FACT
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.

Does anyone else find it really off putting when a game proudly boasts a ton of awards? I swear the more of these something has the more it makes me want to avoid the game.
>>14053 When I saw all the awards Hades had gotten, I too felt disgusted by it. It was weird because I never even knew I would react like that just because something was critically acclaimed. In hindsight, what makes it even weirder is the fact that I actively seek to watch films that are critically acclaimed. Ultimately, I refuse to give in to what seems to be an inner-hipster and stop myself from enjoying something just because it's popular. A game's a game. Whether or not I play it will be decided by its graphics and gameplay.
>>14053 It's certainly off-putting but I played the game while it was still in early access and it's definitely a great game.
Gameplay is great but the cartoony skulls kind of ruin suspension of disbelief for me.
>>14053 Most awards are completely meaningless. 10/10s however seem like an indication of bribery more often than not. There's not a single game that I can think of that is so flawless that it'd deserve a 10/10.

>>14147 i don‘t like how they butchered and generified the design of the game
>>14151 I feel the same.
>>14151 I despise what they've done to it. It makes my blood boil.
Post funny and/or interesting screenshots here!

I was so impressed by this that I decided I'd build a base right here. Then I never built it.
The rest of the internet won't shut up about it. Does it live up to the hype?
>>14131 >>14132 Even after paying full price and getting literally sick after playing I can say I've been laughing a lot with the game, sometimes it's so silly you can't help but taking it like that.
>>14131 Remember kids: Don't pre-order or buy at launch.
https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kccabx/hey_cd_projekt_red_i_think_you_shipped_the_wrong/ They apparently shipped out pc version with console limitations.
https://www.twitch.tv/lirik/clip/HandsomeHelpfulKittenBabyRage The PC version might be the best version, but it still seems buggy as all hell.
Come on now, there's gotta be something you're sick of seeing get over used in videogame after videogame. Something you wish they would just stop with already. Personally, for one, it's most modern games limiting how many weapons you can cary at any one time to just two or three. useualy being, one small weapon, such as a hand gun, and one or two bigger guns. This I suspect to be not for realism, but to cover for their own laziness and unwillingness to make more available weapons for the game.
>>13838 I think 8.1 was technically 9.
>Xbox Series S >Xbox Series X No Xbox Series E... *sigh* You had one job...
>>14104 That's the next one, like Tesla.
>>14108 Tesla Model 3 isn't the same as Xbox Series E.. Hehe.
In this thread; over used cliches and tropes in videogames. Starting with a simple one, red barrels always blow up when shot at or hit hard.
You're walking along and you come across some healing items, then some ammo, and maybe a save spot. Pretty safe to assume you're about to walk into a wide open room for a boss fight.
Playing as some strongest guy or whatever who drowns if he falls in water if he doesn't just fall through it like the water wasn't even there.
>>14088 I dislike how every sandbox uses the same exact mechanics. There's going to be automatic parkour, following footsteps, lots of unsubstantial collectibles and some light stealth system. Most of those mechanics aren't even fun, but they just get repeated in every game, doesn't matter the setting.
I've noticed that whatever gimmick or special tool a particular game has, they'll take it away from you and make you play without it for a short time, usually around 3/4ths of the way into the game.
How many of you are bad at video games? Does this affect your enjoyment of them? Are there any you like to play even though you're bad at them? Are there any you like to play that fit better within your skill level? Are there any you're somehow good at despite your lack of skill? qq about it here.
I more enjoy the customization aspect and storytelling of gaming.
I sometimes get stuck at the character creation part of the game for waaay too long.
>>14073 Same, I also restarted NIoh 2 several times because the character was not the perfect way I wanted it, it's even more ridiculous as you can change the character afterwards but I felt that was fake and like plastic surgery so I would just restart the game again.
>>14073 Sometimes I feel character creation is the actual game and what I play later is just some accessory to complement the photo mode. >>14078 That's the kind of autistic behavior I can easily identify with.
