Hard pass. D&D seems fun but not if I have to listen to other people.

D&D multi-player online?

>>12971
I don't think they were referring to the MMORPG:
>We were wanting to play using an online tabletop and maybe voice chat

>>12806
without voice chat a single game is a thousand times longer, definitely a social activity and wouldn't work in a reclusive community ironically

One's a run and gun and the other is a 3d action game so...no.

Beautiful to watch.
Frustrating to play.
Runs great on the GPD Win.

another game people pretend is hard because they're so used to games where the only way you can die is if you play in a suicidal manner.
any game where death is possible through normal play gets an epic meme status now cause casualization is so bad and widespread it's a novelty.
doesn't compare at all to old platformer difficulty, isn't noteworthy at all.
people should stop compromising.

It's Contra.

What do you make?

Fanfictions of my waifu.
You wouldn't think so since my OP is so shit. I didn't try, I wrote it at 4 AM.

The video I had meant to embed was the Nioh opening. I tried reposting it just now and it wouldn't let me. Oh well.

Nioh is so japanese-y even with a white guy protag...

BlazBlue is a bit more lax (so I hear), and has plenty of waifu-material girls.
Also made by the guys who make Guilty Gear, as I recall.

>>12836
>waifu-material

Maybe BB really is a bit easier in the long run, but you get a faster start with GG because basic combos are easier and deal better damage. And GG has many cute girls, too! Actually, I'd say GG has the best-looking cast there's ever been in a game.

I would have been interested if you were on PC but I don't own a console, sorry.

The stock graphics are better than the ps1 MGS and can look just as good as the ps2 games. Do you also refuse to play MGS1 because of the graphics? It was even re-released on ps3 with some minor upgrades. You can also run it on an emulator and up the graphics more if you like. If you run it on an emulator you'd have plenty of freedom to change the control layout by the way.

>>12847
This. Just use PPSSPP on the GPD XD or GPD Win and voilà: portable HD MGS: portable Ops (or Peace Walker)

>>12847
It's just, I've played the HD remake of Peace Walker and found the controls to be clunky.
I don't have a problem with low graphics, maybe it's just because PW was a PSP game being blown-up to a 40 inch television screen it kind just 'felt' weird.

I don't refuse to play it, if somebody handed it to me I'd play it for sure, I'm just not sure I want to go out of my way to get it only to find out I can't handle the controls.
I don't mean controls as in buttons per se, more the feeling of movement et cetera in-game.

I just wish more games let you quit to desktop/windows without dealing with a labyrinth of menus and loading screens to get there. sure I can alt tab out, but would it kill them to just put a button somewhere in the pause screen?

>>12725
I agree with that. UI seems to be a lost art unless you're Apple.

>>12816
Apple products have terrible UI though.

>>12819
My thoughts exactly.

>>12677
The only right answer.
Though I find TF graphics and gameplay less offensive.

All the trappings around the game I simply prefer and find more interesting (graphics, art direction, 'lore', UI etc.), but gameplay wise the biggest reason is the the character roster and unique abilities each character has. The game offers you a better way to help out your team by playing your character to its strengths which aren't necessary always just shooting dudes, you can be helpful other ways.
I think TF2 is still fine, it's just the natural way of things growing old the next thing coming along that borrows from it, there's just more to Overwatch for me.

>>12679
Finally, a decent answer. Thank you.

OW is newer and has better marketing than TF2. Also waifu character designs.

In reality they'd probably stick to their language, form groups with others who speak it, and try to force it on others who don't.

>>12782
I don't think it's weird at all. Just another example for how these games go into detail.

>>12783
Yes, because that's exactly how it works in (para-)military organizations.

>force it on others who don't.
Like English?

>>12784
I feel it is way too minor to just be detail.
And then you had the outbreak that infected anybody who spoke a certain language, and then the English strain of vocal cord parasites is still out there, and then EVERYBODY on Mother Base will speak English, I cannot help but feel it is somehow all connected.

>>12785
I'm not that far yet, so I didn't know. That does change things.

Virtual reality development?

Could this be the actual meaning and value of Majora's Mask?

It'd be great.

This video makes me so nostalgic, it was great seeing somebody mess with mass AI and keeping it all in sync so well. I watched this one a long time ago so it's very special to me.
This thread takes a while to load, should we make another one?

>>12774
Is not that long of a wait, unlike /mp3/ threads.

You raise a good point about characterisation and style diversity. Characters now feel like they have a role beyond the two main archetypes in the past. There is no longer a division between chain and charge movesets. DW8 is fun, but like you said, the area bosses are just glass and not even glass cannons. If they made boss fighting a bit more like the older games where they were something that took a bit of punishment it'd be amazing because of the new and diverse roles. I'll use the examples of Zhuge Dan in DW8 who is a lockdown character basically. In a game where that ability to focus down on one target with lots of stuns and knockdowns was relevant, he'd be a super fun character to play but in DW8, you never get to explore the moveset because mashing square does the trick.

That's actually something else I've noticed too. Your chains have been getting more forgiving too, playing SW2 again (Empires here too, I don't have my PS2 at my current place and I found it for cheap for my 360 which I do have.) I've found that you need to think about your attack chains because some leave you vulnerable. Masamune for example whips out a pistol after the third square attack which is powerful as it breaks blocks, but it is also single target and lets you get mobbed and stagger locked by peons. So if you are fighting in a horde, you need to be careful to not go beyond 3 attacks. In DW8, the chains are just a matter of time, there are no disadvantages with longer ones that need to be considered.

As for characters as visual and personalities though, the new designs are also just great like you said. I'm fond of Zhuge Dan as I said, but Yu Jin is also really cool. One thing I really really like is that they've expanded on the minor characters. It is certainly a step up in some ways from earlier games, that's for sure. Too bad that Empires was pretty trash for it, the mechanics that they used were overall not much fun which is a true shame because I actually like the new model of the expansion where they have almost made it a kind of RPG-strategy-musou chimera. It's a lot more engaging to play the game as a character instead of as a factio

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

Seeing as there was some Musou fans here, has anybody played the recent Warriors All Stars PC port? It's gotten good reviews on steam, but I want to know whether it's half as interesting as it sounds from people I trust. It appears to have some interesting features.

>>12553

I have heard of that but never played it.

Street Fighter 2

The vast majority of JRPGs.

It's a shame, because I enjoy every aspect of JRPGs apart from the actual gameplay - they tend to have very good atmosphere, music and interesting stories. I completed Final Fantasy X and others when younger, but realised it had become a chore to finish and I was only playing to get to the next cutscene.

I just find the grinding/turn-based battles very repetitive and unengaging. I only enjoy action-based battle systems such as in Nier, and those games are quite few in number.

I've never disliked the entirety of a genre before, I can find numerous things that are likable to me in all of them.
But there are a few select franchises in most that drive me up the wall. Pokemon being one of them. The games are all so brain dead that I can't understand how anyone could find them enjoyable. There's so many quality, actually thought provoking RPG titles out there but all most people want to play is shit like final fantasy and persona.
This extends well and beyond RPG's of course, it's just the best example I could give at the moment.

Same thing in all genres;
ActionRPG~ everyone on Diablo3
Fighting game~ everyone on SF4
FPS~ everyone on COD
RTS~ StarCraft2 only
Arghh.

>your teammates are your worst enemy because they simply don't know what they're doing. Maybe they somehow thought it was a good idea to jump into multiplayer before even touching single player
Exactly what I think when I see them. My guess is that they're super normies and don't give a fuck about making your experience bad because, to them, it's just a game.
