You watch Asmongold

[Knuckle]

I enjoyed watching him briefly because of some of the games he played, but then I found he is insufferable to listen to with his endless "wisdom" as if someone was coaching retards on how to live life at the most basic level over and over and over with a sense of smug superiority while having zero life skills of your own.

[shovelquest]

Wow guys.

It's just a funny youtube video.

Maybe you should check yourselves into involuntary stays mental hospitals.

[Ekco]

my prefered watching method is watching a unknown youtuber stream himself watching asmongold who is watching another content creator and commenting on that

daisy chaining? human centipeding of content

[shovelquest]

For the record things keep going the way they are you're all talking about your future fuhrer.

[Ekco]

getting told what to do by a WoW player sounds like a personal hell ive never even considered before.

[shovelquest]

I know isn't it gonna be great.

Please dont shoot Asmongold.

Please dont shoot Asmongold.

You mean the guy you watch? (lol)

You want to murder me.

Yeah I hate streaming. I was really into narrative solo games by AAA developers.

But those dried up after streaming because they didn't work well on that platform.

[Ekco]

yeah people started making stream friendly games, that whole cycle is crazy too having to play a recently released game because that's what people are searching for as your job is such a crazy concept we don't even consider crazy anymore

He isn't limited to the dating pool of the Mushroom Kingdom clearly some sort of portal technology exists to bring characters back and forth in the Nintendo franchises to facilitate things like Smash Bros. and Mario Kart.

The WereCleaner (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2795000/The_WereCleaner/) is an independent action game that's lots of fun and 100% free on Steam (I think because it was made by a computer game class).

It's short: I got most achievements in five hours. Still, for five or so hours you'll have fun sneaking around and/or eating people while performing some humorous janitorial tasks.

I can't tell if i want to download this game.

Or if I want to hate it because it reminds me of what I think streaming and young melinial/genZ hyperactive attention deficit juiced childhoods have done to gaming.

I've put some serious hours into modded unity daggerfall. That game is, in several ways, the pinnacle of the series.

excited to try this next month:

Metal Slug + Contra + Terminator 2? Cool.

[Knuckle]

There's something about a well constructed background in 2D games that just doesn't translate into any other medium. Looks fantastic. I remember when I was completing FF4 on my SNES last year I was blown away by the mode 7 sliding graphics. Truly added a sense of grandeur to the final boss.

those old NeoGeo arcade games like Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown and others were so fucking good at beautiful background stages and pixel art animation

[shovelquest]

Yeah metal gear has no rival afaik it's like, a video game art style that nobody has had the balls to try to copy but this terminator game kind of looks like someone said fuck it lets try.

I love metal slug but I really never enjoyed playing it sadly and as a result never really got to see all that it had to deliver.

Samurai Showdown was legit. It was hard to get to play because it was Neo Geo. I only knew 1 kid who had one of those and he was suck a cock.

[Ekco]

yeah we had a cabinet at the local grocery store but i didn't get to really play it till Mame emulator and turning free play on, those boss fights were designed to take quarters rofl

This one is on the top of my list to play now that THJ is down, I will this weeked most likely, cool I almost bought the cyberpunk one and would have gotten the bundle too.

This one i hear takes like 4-8 hours, so I awnt to just burn through it over a few days before cyberpunk.

Imagine consuming anti-corporate media made by a corporation. Anyways, back to Cyberpunk 2077.something something a feudal lord was stabbed to death by the peasants that worked for him with a pitchfork that was technically his property, as he died he observed the irony but was too busy fighting for his life to quip

[shovelquest]

If you look at a game like roller coaster tycoon and think it’s anti-corporate media then you need to go see a doctor.

Cyberpunk is an ok game though.

I have a hard time caring about my characters in it though.

Like if it was a TV show, there’s no way I’d be able to get through the first episode.

i'll let you know if and when i can afford to see a doctor about fuckin' anything in modern america

THE MATRIX

[Knuckle]

Sword of Convallaria has been eating away at an hour every day since april. If you like Tactics turn based combat, with a rather F2P friendly gacha system for your legendary tactical units, it's quite a fun and addictive habit. I do not play gacha games, so my bias is towards turn-based strategy combat and the tweaking of your units skills/gear. Also, there are two "story line" modes which is strange but interesting. One "true story" has like 15 possible endings over 50 or so game weeks. This aspect was quite tedious in the past, but theyve since added "anchor points" where you can return and finish multiple endings much easier. Currently after the 1 year anniversary they are readying a new campaign and the "perfect" ending to the first story campaign is complete and available to playthrough.. And of course the timing of the "re release" of final fantasy tactics, perhaps it signals some sort of positive uplift to the genre, I'd love to see a "New" FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre, etc...For now they seem to be content with new IPs and remasters with a touch up.

anyway to summarize...

PROS: Amazing pixel art, character splash art, classic FF Tactics music, great story, effects are decent, Voice Acting is great multiple languages. Animated cut scenes are amazing but far between. Character Customization is fairly excellent.
Mids: Combat is Ok.
CONS: Gacha system, ive been told its very "generous" compared to other games in this genre, so it is Free to play friendly, but I am a low spender(I don't mind contributing to the devs in this regard). No english Voice Acting. Can take awhile to master all the systems, and getting "perfect" upgrades can be extremely slow.

That idea seemed fun to me before I remembered what dungeons were like in Throne and Liberty, where everyone was super toxic if anyone wasn't playing max efficiency at new content the day after release. Gamers are horrible people and no one should spend money on a subpar (75% mostly positive) dungeon only game full of people like you.

Do not understand the appeal. Why would I pay $25 to run random dungeon finders, that's like the worst part of WoW. Only time I've ever enjoyed doing dungeons in WoW was when doing them with guildies, and even then it was a means to an end.

Its really not that bad. Most people are pretty chill. Sure there are sweatlords just like every other game.

I'm on the lower end of player skill spectrum. Dabbling through Champion difficulty now, with Paragon left....then there is Eternal for the real sweaties. I'll likely "finish" characters when I complete the Paragon Capstone and move onto the next "class."

Its just good clean fun.

Because there is zero barrier to entry. No characters to level (can play any/all "classes" at a moments notice), no consumables, no stringent gear/IO checks. If I play for 2 months its already covered a WoW sub...without all the bullshit that comes with retail WoW (RIP SOD you were the best wow ever was).

You can make of it what you will. Sure there will be some shits involved but I've been playing for about a week and a half and its great. Scratching the itch. Its early access too I see a lot of promise here.

But yeah if you're not good at pressing buttons and not standing in fire I could see why you wouldn't like it. Its dungeon time-attack, where heal / tank DPS matters too, especially with only 4 players. Its not for everyone.

I can see myself getting 250+ hours out of the game easily. $1/hr is cheap entertainment.

It's cool you're enjoying it still. I know I like that type of gameplay, but I also remember how bad it sucked getting locked in with people who didn't know the mechanics. And how bad it felt to be the shitter who didn't know them. Think I'm gonna sit this out, but keep us updated if they do anything particularly cool with it in EA.


Just an update, Kenshi is still really fun.

yeah i mean at most its "wastes" 15 mins of your time not timing a dungeon and you finish it for some loot anyway

also all loot is personal loot no rolling against people

will keep updating as i progress through....im about "halfway" through from day 1 noob to the ultra end game

I wish it was more like helldivers and didn't have pvp in it though.

I really.... really hate extraction shooters.

I know its a PVPVE game but....

i have basically infinite resources and money to attempt this ok but seriously why? Like i would literally drop you my kit if you wanted after its done like just let us kill the queen (solo btw met up with another random with a hullcracker so we went for it after seeing 2 others on the opposite side trying to take it, free kits ruining the fun) Downvote me if you want idc this is just strange behavior to me given the sheer amount of loot we could all share

A: Because the people who play extraction shooters are closited serial killers.

Nah its the same raw desire to fuck people that feeds P99 pixel competition.

you ever play on an eq pvp server?

I think a Soprano was in my guild once.

I am still throwing up in my mouth thinking about playing an extraction shooter but this video got me close to installing.

If you like mythic+ in WoW, cmon in. Waters fine.

Youtube: Extraction shooters are fun and full of cool roleplayers!

Actual Extraction Shooters: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1ox3uzp/instant_headshot_and_death_on_spawn_there_is_no/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

fully geared with no chance of even using it. I love the game, but to put all that together and lose it just from spawning just sours the game for me.

Has this happened to you?

Me: Yes. In every single extraction shooter.

doing chrono cross again as well as dragon warrior (not quest) 1-4 and then 7. imho 3&4 of dragon warrior were the best, 7 is okay, the job/monster list is just so tedious!

Dragon warrior 1 was my fave 8 bit rpg!

I bought it, and returned it an hour later because it was putting me to sleep in my chair, literally. I loved Helldiver's 2.... so when I heard people say Arc Raiders was going to get Multiplayer game of the year (https://youtu.be/aFgFZOh8M2s), I knew it was going to be a game I was going to love.

Except it wasn't.

It was incredibly boring. If you like doing pointless trivial daily quests in WoW that feel sort of like run simulators, you will probably like ARC raiders. If you like a clunky loot system where every time you come across something that can be looted, you have to spend ten minutes reading item descriptions and determining which items to take, and which items to leave, you will probably like this game.

Very little FPS action, and what FPS action I saw wasn't fun. Shooting at flying droids while running around junk vehicles trying to line of sight them really wasn't a fun experience for me. Just super boring.

Honest thoughts.

Before haters say it's fake:

Granted, everyone has their own taste. You may think this is a really fun game, but it felt more like a sleep medication to me.

As someone else said in the comments, definitely get the sense that Dark Messiah of Might and Magic was a big influence. Nice touch, being able to snap the enemy's neck. Hopefully more of that rule of cool throughout.

He didn't even loot him.
