You could try the original PC98 game.

>>283236
I probably should at some point, But I like playing more modern games since it's easier to read pixelated kanji is a pain from what I experienced just from casually loading games up in a emu.
>played through  2021  and don't really remember much other than some dialogue and some plot points

>>283234
You're wrong, it's largely a visual novel where you can move around, the puzzles are very obvious hardly any more complicated than modern day slop. It's a fun story sure, but don't go thinking it's the pinnacle of gaming, because it isn't and it's certainly far from perfect.
>>283236
The original doesn't have the banger remade OST.

Neko Project II

Why am I feeling like claiming those throne of Gaia was a mistake?

>>283257
Oh please, peace was never an option. 

I really wasn't expecting the horror harmonica. Seeing ~300 earth gems worth of clay just disintegrate before they even met the enemy was pretty brutal.

THE 5 COMMANDING LIZARDS HAVE FINALLY BEEN SUBDUED.

With Mict gone Ryleh is probably the new threat. What's the status report? I can't see shit from where I'm at.

I was angling to cast arcane domination in that fight and steal all of them, but I decided that would be overkill. Stygian Rains was a fun choice for me since Meteorite Guards all have magic weapons, and Darkness was the creamy paste. I am empowering my W5 hero now in fire so I can acid rain to cook the next baka into bacon while their brains become fried eggs!

Get off of fucking JewTube and Twatter, dibshit. It has never been a good indication of what "real people" think.

So where are you encountering these people, then? Because it STILL sounds like it isn't a healthy environment to be around.

>>282801
Shit. I think people just read vogons and buy up anything that gets mentioned as a deal. There is no goddamn reason why C2D should have value when the "magic" of PC hardware was long gone by then. At least the bubble means what's left actually gets preserved, and you can buy repro versions of seemingly every weird expansion card you could want for gaming.

>>283000
I mean from personal experience if you want a X48 board with DDR3 or a nForce 790i board you are gonna have to pay out the ass or compromise, and if you want a top tier LGA775 build those are your goal possibly with a QX9650 / QX9750

>>282965
Turns out my mic's volume problems were due to software settings being fucked up, not due to hardware failure. That's good because a halfway decent mic would have been quite expensive and there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with the JLAB Talk.

I've also adjusted my fan curve so that the case fans are almost completely silent when the machine is on, and the only noise made from the CPU fan whirring up is a dull roar. I think previously it'd been revving up too fast, or the fan speed hadn't really matched the temperature of the CPU, but things are as they should be now.

>looking at getting an AMD GPU because I'm getting tired of nvidia's shit linux drivers
>9070 XT expensive as fuck despite all the talk of dropping high-end to grow their market share in this segment
>oh well 9060 XT 16gb should be fine
<only 3 display outputs because ?????
<can't run my shit with less than 4
So now my options are getting a 5060 Ti 16gb and praying the drivers don't get any worse or forking out an even more absurd amount of shekels for a 9070 XT.
If things continue like this I swear I'm going to end up with a fucking jewtel GPU next time.

>>283308
I'm guessing you either didn't think about using the IGP output for the last screen or are already doing just that and somehow have a 5 screen setup

>>283238
The second game is much better.
AC1 -> AC2 -> Brotherhood -> Revelations -> AC3 -> Black Flag all have a linear story which was originally going to build up to a final parkour and stealth based game in the modern world but then the creative director was fired before 3 and it was eventually relegated to literal bullshit.
Revelations is my favorite because it's the final refinement of all the mechanics 1 had, splits weapons into secondary and primary letting you mix and match, the hookblade makes parkour MUCH faster and the city is littered with ziplines making traversal very fun. It is also the only game with bombcrafting which basically lets you choose how big of AoE you want and whether the bombs should be straight up damage and distractions or stealthy poison fumes.
Revelations is also the only game which has the Jannisaries who can counter your counter.

That may be even worse. At least when they're trying to portray the Asses as the utter top of morality it was easy enough for them to write the Temps as crazy jerks. If they're trying to do "Grey" morality it'll make the Asses look even worse because not even the narrative is supporting them anymore despite the writers constantly calling them the best of two bad options. 
Also didn't they kill the genetic melting pot that was Desmond and keep his brain in a jar or something?

>Thief
Fuck yeah, now we're talking about an actual good game! The third one was massively handicaped by the console demands, but I still hold it up as a great trilogy of games and a much better exploration of the warring sides of the man's society. The first game's villain desires man to revert back to nature as a wild beast afraid of the dark The second game's villain wanted the opposite by transforming all life into machinery and the third game's villain, while not properly explored due to the short comings of the development cycle, showed how the third option of the Keeper's control and manipulation from the shadows for what they saw as balance allowed a monster to roam and cause death and terror freely. At least that's as best as I can put together right now.

It's a bit of a stretch but does anyone knows title of VN from spankable.webm, where presumably main character spanks prideful noble looking girl.
Ok found it: maji de watashi ni koi shinasai!
But still requesting aforementioned .webm

Dumb question. I've played very few JRPGs (and haven't watched many let's plays or anything either) so I'm curious of how "dead"/downed party members are generally displayed in the overworld, and if common representations differ in the 2D games and 3D ones. I remember that in Earthbound they're represented as ghosts but that's about it.
>inb4 just play more JRPGs and find out yourself bro

what annoys me is that there are some buttmad people on nexus who came up with fictitious terms like "mod stealing" which is not real thing. they get mad if you try and mirror or archive mods, calling it "stealing"
i always said that mods should be backed up via torrent so there is no single point of failture. archive.org had good idea

>once a player purchases the game, it belongs to them to customize as they see fit.
>the top trending modifications focus heavily on Eve’s appearance—think skimpier outfits or altered body proportions.
<While some outlets, like PC Gamer, have criticized this trend as excessive, Kim remains unfazed, viewing modding as a natural extension of player expression.
<However, Kim’s support for modding comes with a gentle nudge for modders to “stay within reason” and avoid “anti-social” or harmful content.
Yeah the double talk inspires confidence. Why'd he censor his own game then? Can't have skimpy outfits and whatever the fuck else assulting pure eyes, right? Rolling it back later somewhat doesn't mean a damn thing.

>>283302
antisocial is very strong wording considering video game violence is prevalent in the west and stories always focused on mindless murder and killing. todd howard himself thinks violence is funny and should be prioritized over good writing, that's how fallout 3 was born

Both of these reviews have been delicious. 
I still haven't gotten around to playing 2 yet, I probably will one of these days, but watching someone go through KotOR one was nostalgic, what with how many feelings we've shared unintentionally.
It's interesting seeing someone actually get into the stats, since back when I played it I just brute forced my way through everything. Apparently I used to get bored easily.
I think one of the freshest memories of the game was listening to Cando talking about dropping onto a planet like a member of the Mobile Infantry, only riding the suit instead of being in it. That was rad.

It takes 10 jump kicks, it's a really difficult hitbox, unless you shoot a web at the chain holding MJ she'll drop before you can finish off Kingpin, so keep shooting the web diagonally to stop the chain from going down, walk up to Kingpin and jump, as soon as you  jump press the button to kick, you really have to get a feel for it, but once you do it's not too tough to repeat it 10 times and win.

When I played it I thought of Dead Space as the game Resident Evil 4 should have been. Like Capcom they realized tank controls and slowly shambling zombies didn't cut it for survival horror anymore, but where Capcom turned the franchise into an action movie Dead Space doubled down on atmosphere and limited resources (including time and space, hence all the fights with fast mutants in tight quarters) to create tension. Walking into a fight and realizing you have to make all your weakpoint shots because otherwise you'll run out of ammo before you can kill everything is a real "oh shit" moment.

>>283293
>the game Resident Evil should have been.
Disagree, TEW1 is basically what RE4 should had been shame they had to fuck it up with TEW2.
