At the risk of this sounding really stupid, I'm interested to learn what your thoughts are on killing relatively innocent characters/npc in games and other interactive media. Characters that mean you no harm. Do you think it's wrong? Or does it not matter to you? Do you avoid killing them when possible, or would you plow them down for getting in your way or looking at you funny?
I love massacring hordes of pixel people in the most brutal way possible.
In the vein of the comparison to animal cruelty laws mentioned, NPC murder for me depends on how "human" the characters are. I wouldn't go on a rampage through a town for no reason, but it's harder to care about a casualty that has one line of dialogue than it is for a companion character. Ultimately I do find it harder to empathize with NPCs - that I know were created by a team of computer people - than with even the simplest animals and plants (with bacteria being harder for me to justify caring for). But I can recognize why you would feel a strong connection to them.
>>14640 "Remember.... no russian" Imagine infiltrating a russian terrorist group that has you shoot up a russian airport for false-flag incident to blame on USA. Chilling implications...
>>14640 >Do you avoid killing them when possible, or would you plow them down for getting in your way or looking at you funny? It depends on my mood. If I had a good day I *might* spare your life. No guarantees though.
Post funny and/or interesting screenshots here!
>>14718 Maybe I'm paranoid, but I feel like they're doing this out of spite.
>>14719 Probably. I'm sure you've already heard the usual ESG theories regarding Capcom. Sucks because concept art looks great for some characters, but their models hold them back.
>>14720 Some of the in-game illustrations also look okay.
>>14721 Guest artist illustrations are not the gameplay graphics though
Anyone here for a spot of fighting games?
Trying out 2X Vega Hueeeeee! http://wiki.shoryuken.com/O._Vega_(ST)
Street Fighter V is done & dusted from a game development point of view?
>>14330 It's all about SF6 now.
>>14692 Indeed. Sulphur Hexa-fluoride for the win. Haha.
Does anyone here play final fantasy 14 online?
I've been thinking about resubbing.
>>13869 Yeah, pretty much what >>13869 said. Though I think ARR's main story quest line got revamped recently. Might be a little less of a slog now. If you do end up sticking with the game, be sure to stick with the story quests. Completing those will unlock more stuff for you to do.
Everyone's moving to FF16. H
>>13866 It's been almost 3 years. Do you still play? I might resub for 6.4

Registered bloodline Aryan PC user Master Race. Even better.
>>11495 >>11522 The "master race" meme is a plot made by brown skinned and jewish subhumans used to derail its original meaning related to the Aryan Herrenvolk. Because it implies those brown skinned and jewish subhumans are inferior to the good old White Man (which is 100% true), they decided to force this meme to the foolish and gullible videogaming community and slowly drive people to forget the true nature of these words. It is really sad seeing people still falling for it.
- totally offline - ready to play games in few seconds N64 was more Next Gen than consoles today
>>11524 Yeah I hate it when I play my 360 because it takes like 10 minutes to get the game going. My friends call me a hipster for playing my older consoles more but I honestly couldn't care less
Some of us decided to play world of tanks together. Mostly becuase of the girls und panzar mods for the game.

War Thunder is the better tank sim.
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.
Could I interest you all in ELDEN RING? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Huy2cdih0
>>14288 Dark Souls: Lord of the Ring out soon? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDUZNP52obY PS5, Xbox SX or Steam? Decisions, decisions.

Did you see that fucking controller? I had a PTSD attack.
>>11952 If someone makes pearls work for pigs you don't congratulate them, you go and call them out as blasphemers and barbarians
How come Xbone and Win PCs have no multiplayer crossplay?
>>11952 No, Goldeneye made FPS work for consoles. Halo turned it into a repetitive corridor shooting gallery with regenerating health for casualfags. Unfortunately it sold through the roof, and now almost all FPS are garbage.
Xbox S or Xbox X? I'm waiting for Xbox E.
Everyone is playing this, why aren't you?
>>14648 Chinese spyware is spying on you. What a surprise!
>>14026 I don't think you're missing much. I think half the people who play it just jerk off to the characters and little more. That might sound really ignorant, but it really does seem like most of the appeal is just attractive characters.
>>14650 I jerk off to them and I don't even play the game.
>>14651 I don't find these characters attractive at all so I can't get that out of it.
Lets discuss Audiosurf 2 ITT Also post songs and we can try to compete with each other for the highest score. I typically stick to Casual Puzzple and Mono.
I'll be playing this one in Casual Puzzle and Mono
The wait is finally over and the very much anticipated game Cuphead is finally out? What does Tohno-chan think about this one?
