/v/ - Video Games

I'm gonna buy it. I like Nintendo exclusives and I like the expansion pack with the old Nintendo console games.

We need a friend code thread once it comes out so we can play the new mario kart and kirby air riders together.

Good goy. They need the money to add 3 more nonbinary characters to Xenoblade 4 and to add a scene to the next Zelda game where Zelda comes out as an asexual transmasc hesbian.

>Nintendo refused to allow their online to be entirely backboned through Origin 
That sounds more like companies beefing with each other on who gets to have spyware deployed on its user base and there is no inbetween, either all the data, or no data for competitor
And then gaymer faggots telling me Nintendo is "lesser evil"? How?

DMC5 was fun to play but the story shits the bed hard midway in. Some easy fixes would've been to make the women hot, make Nico less obnoxious and have Nero fight Dante before he reveals that Vergil is his father, so he would actually have an arc of growth that then results in his DT unlocking instead of having a fucking phone call with his wife that has left him pussywhipped for no reason through the entire game.

I am still bummed about Lucia theories back when DMC5 announced. Apparently, the boss where you save Lady had a lot of similarities of her. It would have been cool to see her back. 
Also what happened to rumors of "ladies night" DLC? It was supposed to give us Lady and Trish as playable characters. And for the love of God can we get an actual Vergil campaign instead of being an obligatory special edition character with only 2 cutscene changes?

ETA 2 more weeks right after DD2DA.

I don't think we're getting anything anymore. And if we are, it'll be mediocre at best.

>>277289
>I don't think we're getting anything anymore
Considering both Itsuno and Reuben left, I would rather not get anything made by some schmuck that turns into DMC2 part 2 but with nicer graphics.

>>277113
>"ladies night" DLC
that was just a troll from some anon back when the game came out

Do we really need Whocia involved in the game when Lady and Trish can't even get screentime themselves?

Astlibra, though overrated, was decent enough to keep me engaged to the end. The level design and characters were as bog-standard as it gets and the story was essentially M. Night Shyamalan tier -- carried only by the constant twists and unpredictability of it. Music and art direction was all over the place, though the music really does shine at times (despite a good chunk of it being royalty-free.) The gameplay loop was the best aspect of it; you kill enemies to get their parts and use it to craft gear, then equip said gear and get enough exp to master it and unlock the ability linked to it, or get an extra skill gem so you can equip more skills. By the time you mastered all equipment available to you, you are sufficiently capable and strong enough to take on any challenge the game can throw at you. Honestly, I think it was the gameplay, it mostly being a one-man project and the fact that nowadays we're starved for good side-scrolling ARPGs is why people overlook it's flaws.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4&5;
An actually engaging traditional turn based game, especially on harder difficulties. Some people hate the artstyle but I like it so fuck you.

Beyond Citadel;
More fucking games need the reloading and hit mechanics of this game. Best I've played in years.

Hellsinker;
SCHMUP but not so ball blisteringly fucking hard you want to just quit. Worth playing for the art and soundtrack alone.

Elin;
Do I even need to describe why this is fun? Just go fucking play it retard.

Chrono Ark;
The tags made me very wary but it's actually really fun.

Epic Battle Fantasy 5 is one of those games that managed to ruin my future game experience by being really good. I was never really into RPG games, and even if I play them, the pacing and story was good enough to make up for the utter dogshit combat. One example is Chrono Trigger. Nobody plays it for its turn based mechanic but it does everything else well.
EBF5's "combat" is actually fun to play. My only complaint is that I miss its atmosphere and theme from older games, especially EBF4 deserved its name "epic". EBF5's settings felt much more dull and was less memorable despite being much better designed. I hope Matt makes EBF6 one day, but what else is there to improve other than making EBF5 but bigger?

Damn, yandev is old as shit. He looks like a muffler shop Mexican who would look the other way on a state inspection for $30

I've considered it, but they take a bit too many liberties for me, and I try not to get too into OG fangames since I know that's a rabbithole with so many options I'll have trouble getting out of, I just wanted to play the OG titles in 16:9 and for me all these remakes, while impressive, don't do it for me as someone that liked the OGs as they were. Still, I appreciate the recommendation!

>>276271
Fair enough, I personally love the simplicity and the 8-Bit look, but I get your point. Also feel that the 3DS version of Sonic Generations was a missed opportunity to pay tribute to classic titles so many of us grew up playing alongside the OG classics.

>>276272
Sonic Blast isn't that bad, I agree, but it felt like a step back in every regard, all for graphics that don't look all that good...

>Have yet to try the second one, which I do have to get around to.
Despite liking how it is currently I'd still recommend waiting for potential updates for it. It has been said during an English Inti Creates live stream during Steam Next Fest that there are plans to support the game post launch, plus the studio has had games with post launch update campaigns like with Dragon Marked for Death, Gunvolt 3 and Card-en-Ciel, so I do believe SotD will also get similar patches that add back missing content and modes. You waited this long to play it already so might as well wait a bit longer and get a more complete experience.

<Literally nobody calls them this.
Apparently the Japanese game community call them that. I personally don't but I know a lot of people get really anal over the metroidvania name so I threw in the only other somewhat widely used name for the genre.

I haven't played many, but my favorites are Tails Adventure on the Game Gear, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on the Game Boy, and Spider-Man on Game Boy Color. I wish Tails got more standalone MetroidVanias... Spider-Man actually got a few more all through out the 2000's on the DS, but I haven't gotten around to those yet, but they do look quite good for what they are too.

I think I prefer the shorter and simpler ones, but I do like the genre.

Turns out my assumption about Servants of the Dark ended up being true. In today's Inti Creates stream they confirmed that they'll be updating the game until July and the first major update was released today, implementing some cut content that was found with data mining and various really good quality of live improvements. So yeah, if anyone's interested in the game but hasn't played it yet then you should just wait until the final July update.

you haven't got to steal a game to crack it. Valve has also promised since the beginning that they've got continuity plans in place if their service stops. Not that we'll need their help or blessing anyway, with said cracks. If you literally can't buy it on steam or gog, you should have started with that

You probably already had these in mind, but I've always wanted to give the console port versions of Idolm@ster and Radirgy a try.

I also haven't heard of Radirgy. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Recommend me a single player shooter with lots of progression.

Heavily dissapointed with the balance and gameplay of this game. Ontop of not being able to play vs bots in a multiplayer match and the campaing being just, boring meh? Not worth the pricetag.

>>269363
Did they not release the source code of all the classic C&C games when they made the original C&C 1, Red Alert and Tiberian Sun officially free? Kinda great they're doing that, means another wave of mods will happen if there's any interest, specially for Kane's wrath.
Still won't forgive them for killing Westwood Studios in the first place.

How fucked is it in the grand scheme of things?
I´ve noticed some things like the GDF Riot APC absolutely mulching infantry, but I only finished the third GDF mission so I haven´t seen most of what both factions have to offer
I kinda like the req system, though I think alot of the upgrades (like flame grenades or lasers for drones) should be upgrades bought from your tech buildings
>not worth the pricetag
I pirated it so feh, but I was pretty baffled by the size of the game since it really does not look like it needs 43 gigs except maybe those way too high quality briefing scenes that lag like hell on my toaster and give me uncanny valley vibes

>>275895
Grey Goo tier limitations, but that was not symmetrical at least.

It's still a sign the genre is trying to live though

Well thats a very specific "genre". Now if it was about simply engineer or simply survival there are many games available.

You wouldn't say "san" when counting something (games), you need a counter word. "Mittsu" would already be better, but I don't know if that's enough or if there would be a more accurate counter for games. 本? 台? 個? 枚?
