I enjoyed my first playthrough of CoP a lot before installing Misery, and then uninstalling it because even 2.1 is annoying. Bloodcyka quest was tripping, but I suppose it's not much different each time. I think if SoC and CoP had combined approaches, maybe with some option stuff from Clear Sky, then that would be our ideal STALKER game.
>CoP is alt-universe
No it's the same timeline post-SoC.

>>9086
>even 2.1 is annoying
Misery 1.0 was ok, everything after it is pure shit tier MMO tier design and everyone involved and that praised it should eat a bullet.

>>9116
Honestly you are mostly miserable because the economy is unworkable and there are too many subsystems for certain functions. First few hours were quite nice, but it's such a drag getting anywhere. I don't get meme difficulty mods.

I'm fine with the economy and even carrying 3000 KG of trash while abusing energy drinks.
I fucking love the alternate start of escaping the Zombie village at night.

My main issue is that they completely fucked one of the main draws of CoP, which was approaching each objective as your choice if you had good enough gear.
Misery 2.0 adds a literal army of mutants in locations in the first areas of the game to bar you off them so that you have to constantly backtrack between all 3 main areas and waste even more money.
An army where you literally need an RPG, Grenade Launcher or a High Powered Sniper Rifle with shittons of ammo to even dent the horde.

Literal MMO game design, I just fucking uninstalled it right there after enjoying my time with 1.0, went back to it with Arsenal Overhaul 3, fuck Misery 2.0.

I remeber playing all of those as a kid. Loved em and highly recommend them. Not bullshit ridden like the old Sierra adventure games

I really enjoyed Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive and VirtuaVerse. Some of the visuals in VirtuaVerse are top-notch and the soundtrack is pretty good.

>>8345
>VirtuaVerse
The only thing going for it is the pretty pixel art backgrounds and chiptune soundtrack. Forced myself to sit through the atrociously bad writing but completely lost my shit when that nuke "nudges" the ISS and some apes into the credits, abruptly ending the story. Don't waste your time with this even if it's free.

Hard to pick one favorite game, maybe Chrono Trigger. Terranigma had one of the best OSTs.

>>all sound and music is muffled, like it's being played through a pillow
>>maridia can go fuck itself with how annoying it is to traverse between the slow movement and maze-like layout
To me those are two of the things that make it a great game. It really adds to the atmosphere of solitude the game has. The atmosphere is really what sets it apart from other games that feature the same style of gameplay.

I really like Maldamba's design. It's very clean looking, yet it's a theme not often seen(Voodoo/nature mage), a cobra as a gun is a pretty neat idea and I really like the color scheme for him. It's all colors you'd see in nature and it's done in such a way you could tell what kind of character he is right off the bat. Shame he's in a shit game with barely a similar quality or style of art design. I mean look at this 14 year old's "I want every color" OC.

Is that Unfortunate Spacemen? I really wonder if the game is good or not. It's free yeah, but I've been burned by free games despite never spending a dime on them and I can't be assed

It's they're designed by what a 5 year old thinks it's cool and then 3D modeled by some retarded Chinks.

Dota 2 had some really good designs (Bloodseeker, Sand King, Ancient Apparition, etc) at the start, but then over time (probably around 2015) they started really changing their standards/ethic. Not only did the gameplay start taking after League of Legends, but so did the designs. They're so 'friendly' and 'safe' - chink approved. I'm glad I was able to tear myself away from it in 2014 when I realized there's a forced 50% winrate.

I really love Killer7's style. Not even No More Heroes came close, it wasn't dark enough. Maybe Blood+, but I haven't played that one. The way the solid colors on the environment and characters meshed with the almost-solid shadows adds a lot of depth. Not to mention how bright the blood is makes it stand out among the shadows. The levels where there is a lot of sunlight still feel foreboding due to how heavy the shadows are. I wish Grasshopper would go back to this instead of the lighter NMH style.

I like some of the old speccy games' aesthetics

>>3682
>that's not what "pixel" games used to look like
Yeah, the "pixel" implies something more primitive. The example are just 2D sprites in general. But then again there is a middle spot when you have pixel art, but at a higher resolution than what oldschool games had. And that is what most modern pixel games do because they have to look good at 1080p. It has its own feel, it doesn't really replicate what old games did. Kind of like Synthwave is heavily inspired by 80's music but neither the songwriting nor the production has much to do with 80's music.
A good example are the various RPG makers. If a game should look truly oldschool, probably the 2000/2003 versions are still the best choice. Than there were the XP and VX makers that had a higher resolution but never looked as good as the older ones. Those games were prone to look like plastic. Then there are even newer version that you can set to render in 1080p by adding a simple script. Those can yield great looking games, but are also farther away from the SNES charme than ever.

>>3738
>Resolution
Not only that. Palette limitations, memory restraints and the sheer skill of those graphicians that made spriteart back in the day is just being insulted and shat on by the modernity of bullshit. You will never sit at a computer again and look at some amazing animation, background piece or character , struck in awe at "how the hell did they make a 16bit machine display something so gorgeous".

There is no zeal, no inspiration, no true soul of sheer grit and determination in making art cohesive and visually appealing within a limited artform. There is only those who ape for nerd cred and their cocksuckers who would eat anything trown at them as long as it has a recognizable style or logo without questioning even a single thing. It just brings immense disgust.

I guess arcade is the best term for it, you're right.

>>8458
I don't know if I have it in me to subject myself to that game again, but at least it's shorter than IWBTG.

>>8340
I think they used to be called action games long ago, sort of as a catchall category for games with no progression other than getting to the next level. But that was back when the "lives and continues" model was still pretty much standard.

>>8542
So are all multiplayer action games. Hence why I mentioned that the best implementation of realistic sword fighting that is also good gameplay wise will probably be a fighting game.

>>8549
No need. It could work by making it so the angle of attack 'wheel' is only enabled for a brief moment when you left-click. This would allow players to keep the more realistic feel without the need to lock into 1 player. But nobody has tried this yet.

>>8516 (OP) 
Mount and Blade and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic both did it well

>>8573
>playing Warband in first person
Dark Messiah is good fun early on, but eventually becomes too easy regardless of difficulty.

>>8516 (OP) 
The big issue that plagues first person combat is that there's limited depth perception and situational awareness. It could be fixed by having a lot more lunging or charging attacks and some good animations or indicators that make it clear where exactly and what exactly the PC is doing. The other thing that is different is that first person games typically require more precision than third person games unless it's some garbage lock-on shit like Kingdom Come. First person melee needs to know what to do with that.
