With the release of Dragon Dogma 2 itsuno immediately resigned from Capcom and started his own studio. This was the first clue that there’s definitely something. So what could’ve ticked Itsuno-san off?
At first I had completely nothing and probably we will never know officially, but some internet users noticed Monster Hunter Wilds reused some Dragon Dogma 2 animations, and since it released 1 year after they clearly were developed at the same time, not only this Dragon Dogma 2 looks better than MHW visually, as if the team of MHW was actually dedicated to DD2 at first.

https://youtu.be/KBeA9HETRyM
What also struck me about the state of DD2 release is how barebones it was, like it’s not a sequel at all, like they stopped adding content midway and went to release it as is.
Now you might think it’s all ramblings with no concrete evidence, but here’s a catch, the producer of MHW is the son of Capcom’s CEO and founder Ryozo Tsujimoto. So you can imagine how he can get his way. also people pointed out that it’s very hard to get wine in DD2 and could be a reference to the Tsujimotos being stingy since they own a vineyard
So the scenario probably goes like this
>Itsuno gathers a team to make an open world rpg game calle

Mods reasonably bumplocked the other one since it was just a bunch shitflinging and obviously made with that intention in mind so here's my attempt to make one

As you know, 4chan went down and it will not be coming back for at least a couple of weeks and it's uncertain if it will at all, so to all the newfags, welcome. I will try my best to give you an idea of what to expect from zzzchan as well as some general information. As the other guy said, here's to hoping the mods spot me since this is the most active board and it's where this is most likely to be seen. A thread similar to this one but made by the admin himself can be found here >>>/meta/4978 so you can use that if you want to talk to him directly. The previous thread, if you want to catch up is here >>273796

Key technical features:
>runs on jschan a new ib software which is being actively developed 
>super fast, real time posting and thread updating
>designed to be completely usable without javascript
>5 files allowed per post
>32 MB total filesize limit
>allows videos with audio or straight up audio formats
>custom flags
>drawing applet (tegaki)
>gifs autoplay
>text markup

DOOM
Other retroFPS and retro inspired FPS can come too. 

I'm legitimately surprised there is no Doom thread on the catalog, lets rectify that, shall we? 
Post some DOOM.
Post some WADS.
Post some of its COPYCATS.
Post some other retro FPS like DUKE. I need to check up on the DNF restoration project
Post some new takes on an old formula like DUSK and all that jazz.
Post about the communities because GOSSIP is also fun. 
Are you Mappin? Post that TOO
If you can map, offer assistance to young mappers, or make fun of their lack of skill. I'm not your dad

I myself have started to get back into Doom and have been skimming the Cacowards for some gold. I also need to beat Ashes 2063 so I can start on its second game, Through the Ashes. There was also the release of Reelism 2 a little while back which I have mixed feelings on, still worth playing though. I've also always considered making a list of gameplay mods and wads that complement each other well such as Rampancy with Highway Acceleroid Booster for muh robot theme. Lastly I like to just slam random on Doomworld and see what comes up. After this long you know there is some buried treasure just lurking in those archives, or its just fun to see what some random guy made 20+ years ago. 
I have some of the older SoyouwanttoplaysomeDOOM infographics if anyone wants them for posterity or just can't be arsed to find them on the web.

One of the things thats quite annoying is when you talk to someone about an old game and you start to notice that the person you are talking to is just parroting something. You'll notice phrases,words,sentences being almost exactly the same. Kind of like deja-vu. And something that has happened several times is me coming across a video essay on youtube (which i never watch) and seeing the exact same opinion expressed in that video. So for instance a shitty medicore game called Mad Max i recently played. Another example would be Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. Another shitty game being praised simply because youtubers says its a hidden gem or some masterpiece that everyone somehow forgot or ignored bla bla bla. Its just very interesting because you could simply go back into the past by looking at old reviews to see how everyone thought of the game. The worst part about this is that normalfags cannot think for themselves. Whatever the youtuber says the normalfag repeats. So now these games are considered to be somewhat good with normalfags which doesnt even make any fucking sense. Common thing i see is that alot of people that have these opinions say something like 
>oh i played this in my childhood
or something like that. So they obviously have some sort of bias towards it already. Just because you played a shitty game as a kid doesnt make the game good. Fucking retards.
Oh and i almost forgot to mention No Man's Sky. Remember that shitty gam

The 7th generation kind of sucked for a large list of reasons, most of which had to do with ushering legions of normalfags into the hobby and connecting consoles to the internet. However, in hindsight the generation both lasted for a very long time (eight years from the release of the X360 to the Xbone) and marked the last time any console manufacturer would attempt to make a device that looked nice and let you do anything neat with it. The X360's HDD being easily removable and being stylistically consistent with its form factor is practically the product of a lost art compared to the modern spate of black and white rectangles that let you:
- Connect to the internet and buy live service microtransactions
- Post things to facebook with your always-listening microphone
- Fuck yourself in the ass if you want to change the hardware

I had a Wii throughout the 7th gen so I missed out on a lot of the X360's lineup and never got to interact with things like the Xbox Live Arcade when they were in their prime. However I recently got a fully modded X360 with the RGH set up and Aurora custom firmware installed, so exploring the back catalogue will be as easy as dragging and dropping files.

What must-plays are there from the X360's catalogue that I can't get anywhere else, or that would just feel better on the console?

No thread on the catalog so I'm making one. Mainly for the classic grid-based party dungeon crawler but other games are welcome too (not like it's a genre with many proper titles and it already peaked on PS2).

Trying to keep this thread to third party games, censorship that is not the result of localizations or "regional law", and censorship that only applied to the versions released on the Switch (2) (That includes games that experience different levels or instances of censorship compared to other versions). If you want the extensive list of "all" instances of Switch censorship (Regardless of the circumstance), here you go:

This thread is specifically about Nintendo (Themselves) forcing third-party developers to censor games against their will, if not outright prevent their release. The games known to be cancelled/censored thus far include (Sorted by year):

<Super Real Mahjong PV (Censored, later made unavailable after release)

"You know exactly what went on behind those closed doors" edition.
Discuss the games, your favorite or hated rom hacks, leaks, etc.
I mainly wanted to start this bread back up to catalogue some of my favorite shit from the Freak Leaks. Unfortunately most of it got nuked at this point because, and I shit you not:
>only dripfeeding it to his discord
>uploading everything to jewgle drive as opposed to just torrenting them (which people later did, better late than never i guess)
>the leaker taking his sweet time uploading everything because he had to comb through it and make sure nothing was related to the newest Pokemon games because of "spoilers"
<and yet, he somehow still managed to release ALL of game freak's employee info, business cards, even plans to build a park in celebration of the 30th anniversary 

But I digress, we ended up getting a lot of fun shit from it. From some higher-res art and even Holon from the TCH, Game Freak answering WPWYF, Arceus being on some Jungian shit, a scrapped Pokemon musou-ish game that i entirely forgot to save footage of but surely it's archived, the Ruby/Sapphire remake maps being taken from fucking mienkraft, and tons of scrapped proto builds and even various concept arts.

In terms of shit not Freak Leak related, two fan projects I can heavily recommend are Pokemon O
