Anon, that's an awesome gif. Did you make it yourself? I don't know if my first file can be considered "horror" but it did give me an uneasy feeling when I first saw it. It vaguely reminds me of NMPD from Halo 3:ODST, if anyone remembers that mission. 

Speaking of actual video games, I have been playing system shock 2 recently. I admit I've been a complete nigger and bought it years ago but never played it. I bought it because I heard from a few anons it's a great game and similar to Doom 3 but much better. Or perhaps Doom 3 is an inferior version of System Shock 2? Potatoes, Patatoes, Tomatoes, Tamatoes. Anyways, I've had fun with it. I have been playing what would refer to as an "infantryman" playthrough. I've put most of my points into Endurance, Strength, and a couple in Agility. as for my weapons, I've gone into Standard weapons almost exclusively. I have put a single point into exotic weapons for the sole purpose of using the crystal shard and I kind of regret it. I don't want to put any more upgrade points into exotic weapons as I think they are best spent elsewhere. 

Has you played system shock 2 yet? If so, what did you think of it?

>>140718
I mostly wish the skill trees would have been more balanced. Investing in heavy or exotic weapons just seems like an insane waste of resources due to high requirements, rare ammo, and normal guns doing the job just fine against most enemies.

Speaking of System Shock, I wish there was some mix between it and the first Dead Space where you are stranded on a derelict spaceship and have to fix it up again. Except you don't blow it up afterwards, but actually get the ship back in good order and fly it (not a shitty escape pod) off into the sunset.
I'm probably being autistic here, but watching all the sections of the ship going from red to blue or whatever it was bit by bit felt immensely satisfying for me..

I take it you weren't around for the heyday of SS13?

>>140718
SS2 is one of my favorite games of all time and I spend all my skill points in Agility and Hacking.
I played it for the first time in 2014 and the Midwife and Rumblers still unnerve the shit out of me.
I wish the Arachnids had better design, they look extremely generic and are an awful enemy to fight.

>>140899
Absolutely, it's the same with Research, which should pair beautifully with Exotic.
Instead, you get the best melee weapon in the midgame while everything else is on the late game.

Feels like they rushed out the items, Hydroponics is nothing but Energy weapons instead of being a good mix between skill.

>>140904
>I take it you weren't around for the heyday of SS13?
I actually gave that a try once or twice, but always ended up on burger servers with horrid latency issues.

Plus, it's multiplayer nature usually means the game is a session-sized shitpost.

>>139941
In that case the landscape looks like shit and DD has better combat overall.

Good news then, >90% of all missions is that, including optional ones. The remaining 10% are minigames to unlock wizard powers for free and some oddball missions like the ones you control one of your mothership's turrets or "stealth" missions.

so, the plot any good?

>>140730
Just play the game faggot, it's not much more than 200MB, there's a GOG version (Steam version lets you import/export ships from/to other players though) and it should run fine in all but the shittiest toasters. The plot isn't anything special, you're a nameless guy who just got an AI device implanted on his brain and has no memories of his/her past and go on a journey to search for answers as you learn about the universe and your place in it while fighting against space rednecks, space rats and space zogbots all looking for your head (or what's inside of it, rather).

>>140952
Alrighty then, thanks for the rec anon.

>>140757 (OP) 
I think Ubisoft Poo in the Loo received PoP remake as a test to see if they were capable of making a game by themselves, and for brownie points, however, they failed in finishing the game.
The game looks worse compared the previous titles, even the 2008 one.

But yes I do remember hearing about the remake but just forgot it was even a thing, But if anyone played these I'd like to know how they were was considering getting a copy or should I just stick with my PS2 versions?

It was done by their Indian studio filled with diversity hires.
It looked so bad and was so broken that they canned it.

Ubisoft wishes they got bought by Vivendi nowadays.

Literally a copy + paste from cuckchan.

>>131167
I can play some more in a few minutes, actually. I probably won't be able to play tomorrow, though.

For some reason the Ephinia private server keeps crashing on me while Destiny private server works just fine.

Will this ever happen again?

>>140687
I hope it does. I'm sad that my internet connection just straight up started dying and I can't even play on Ephinea without getting disconnected every 5 minutes. This is a fantastic game and I want to play it again in the future.

>>140687
I still play on Eph a little but I have a lot of shit on my plate right now.

Yep. Just played a duel going 2nd with a god hand and OTK'd a guy through his open field. Like all Grass decks, this one can brick, but once you get Grass off things just fall into place.

>>140452
Glad it's working for you. I don't have the balls to try running Left Arm Offering in a post-Ash Blossom world.

>>140455
I run a Grass Witchcrafter deck too. The key is to have plenty of Ash bait like Uni-Zombie or any of the Witchcrafter girls. In this deck it's not even that big of a deal if it doesn't resolve since the Vendread trap can recycle banished zombies into the deck.

Darklord despia is an underrated combo, ran into a faggot that summoned their boss monster on time that prevents all fairy monsters to be targetted by effects. Didn’t have kaiju or droplets so it was gg, the only thing that bothered me about the match was the length of time the cunt took to play his turn

>>140665
It's a combo that has a lot of synergy, but it dies to handtraps. I'd still recommend it over pure Despia simply because it has an alternate gameplan if the field gets broken unlike Despia which folds like a tower of cards.

I remember I once faced a Despia Darklord that summoned the First on my turn, which I then Kaiju'd and Reborn'd. Since he had no out to his own boss monster he was forced to clear his own field and suck it into an Underworld goddess, which I ran over the next turn which led to a scoop. If I didn't open those very specific cards I would've been totally fucked. It's a good deck.

Seems to be Taiwanese which explains them actually knowing nip.
Chink games aping nip art styles is increasingly common but there is always something slightly off about them.

>>140317
Does it have multiplayer? Sounds like a really fun game for a gamenight.

I found that I only had to grind at the very start. Past that point, mission rewards were enough to ensure that I always had the best tank available and a max-level crew.

>>140347
No multiplayer yet, but supposedly it's Coming Soon™.

A lot of providers also allow you to save server images for free so you can set it up in advance and then just boot up an image with everything ready to go on Friday.
If you want anonymous memecoin VPS it's going to cost a bit more.
Windows VPS's usually has additional licensing costs so you better know how to ganno/lonix.

>command line application too complicated for the average anon's mind
You don't even have to use the command line, you can script it in advance or just drag and drop.
Some coop FE campaigns of all things had ~10 players. Then there was an entire PSX X-COM campaign webshit X-Piratez campaign never ever.
Mednafen netcode is very solid but can be laggy.

You know, I'm fairly sure the face's geometry is a bigger problem than the texture itself. It's 6 flat planes, looking more like the underside of a turtle than a human head. Or like someone took a frontal anime headshot, placed a few verices and just nudged the middle ones a bit forward.

>>131470
No the nigger nose and low mouth are the problems.

Mario sort of has the seam around where the cheekbones would be, with a 3D nose in front to break the flatness. 
Maybe anon could do that as well. Raise the seam of the face up to the cheekbones, and maybe flatten it a bit and add a small 3D triangle nose on top.

OP are you still working on this?

I don't really thinks that works in terms of a character choice thingamabob.  If you can prove me wrong then go ahead though.

>Characters emote with the same energy as pretty much any other Mario Sports Mix tier game, barely any energy at all in voices or in actions

>Cutscenes for super strikes are obnoxiously long and unskippable online, plus they have passive effects even if they're not a perfect strike, meaning you can fumble it and still fuck up defenders with it

>Does not seem like there will be any Single Player content at launch, options are barebones (Quick Match, Tournament and MyClub)
>Confirmed 10 characters at launch, most of them play very similarly to each other without 

>>139918
Yeah, we already expected most of these, especially the lack of edge that made the previous titles so cool to begin with.
Peach and Rosalina also have pancake asses now.
10 characters on a 4vs4 game means you'll see 80% of the entire roster on every single match over and over again, no variety whatsoever, so expect this game to die sooner than mario golf switch.
I have heard rumors about the devs planning to add 10 more characters, that while good, it is still not enough to me, this game should have been closer to 30.
If the game came out with 20 characters on launch (let's say 10 from the start and 10 unlockables) and a story mode, and then they added 10 more through updates it wouldn't have been as bad, but this is fucking pathetic, a sequel is supposed to be "more and better" so asking for all the previous characters to return, plus some newcomers it's not too much to ask.
People complained about Tennis Aces, but at least it had 14 characters (that became 30 with updates) and a fucking story mode on launch, this has fucking nothing, is barely a functional game, like they are releasing it in mid development.

>>139931
But you see, with Aces it is usually 1v1 or at best 2v2, plus each character's stats are custom tailored so you can tell what kind of match you will have against your opponent. In Strikers League Mario may move 0.5 ingame units slower than Luigi but by virtue of how slow everything is and since you will see both characters on both teams a lot, it may as well be meaningless. Having mirror matches is one thing, most characters feeling samey and hard to tell apart is another entirely.

>>140039
>But you see, with Aces it is usually 1v1 or at best 2v2
That's why not having a HUGE roster in a tennis game isn't as big of a problem as it is in a football game.
Still, Aces managed to get 30 characters in the end, while according to some leaks Battle League won't get more than 20, which is the same number as charged, that at least had everything on day one.
>Having mirror matches is one thing, most characters feeling samey and hard to tell apart is another entirely.
Having mirror matches sucks when you'll get them almost every single time with only a few differences here and there.
I only hope that they are going to add the chance to play with character specific teams (one captain and sidekicks with the old jersey colors) like in the previous ones, if they aren't going to bother giving us more characters than charged, which after 15 years of wait for a new Strikers game is a sin.

>>139602
You should play it, the improvements and additions made the difference with the PS2 original like night and day.
Leifthrasir is more similar to Dragon's Crown compared to the original.
>>139602
>I wonder how well does it emulate.
No idea, the game came out for Vita, PS3 and PS4.
I suppose the vita SHOULD be the easier to emulate, but i assume it would be easier to find a PSvita tv and mod that

>>139605
>I suppose the vita SHOULD be the easier to emulate
I don't know how well it emulates, with PS3 I've had varied results, some games worked flawlessly, like demon's souls, some other game have a few stutters but are playable, some of them don't work outright.

>>139608
>>139605
There is Vita3k and it is only capable of running VNs and some very non-intensive games. I haven't heard of any other Vita emulator that exists. It certainly is not a high priority.

>>139600
Having played both the original and the re-release, I can vouch for its improved quality. They even left the old game mode as an option for those who don't like the new talent tree.

Leifthrasir was a rare instance of remake/remaster done right.
They didn't CHANGE the original game, but they improved the weak points of the OG while adding stuff on top of it.
The fact that they also kept the original version is cherry on top.
