/games/ - Video Games

found a underground shelter thing with cool stuff like wood axe (means i can make better stuff now) and military backpack

it is finally gamer time again

i found a van with a mini fridge
now i just gotta install solar panels for infinite fridge usage, might also remove the fridge and have it be stationary at home
also has a bed, kitchen unit and 3 x 162l cargo space

and look at this

Getting comfortable with the game, killing tons of zombies in single column alleys. Found a working golf cart, also a food dehydrator I'm gonna use for milk and a hand crank to generate electricity.
Halligan bar is a good weapon, can also pry open doors and windows a hammer can't. 20 bash, doesn't degrade(?), sometimes knocks enemies back. Better than the nail bat that was my go-to weapon before.

I played Arknights at launch and then rage-uninstalled because I was too stupid to beat a level and didn't want to resort to grinding or guides. Now despite some interest, I can't bring myself to get back into the game because I missed a lot of limited events and the idea that I can no longer 100% game content gives me autistic fit.

>also general mobile game thread
There is already a mobile games thread though.

ordered a composite to s-video adapter for my xbox this week, some people say they see no difference in video quality but it was just $5, anyone here have experience with s-video on xbox?

Same, and I bought a 360 just for Halo 3. When I had finished playing the games, I sold my consoles because I played the singleplayer enough times to be satisfied and the friend who used to have me over to his house for multiplayer moved away and my friend group splintered. That one friend moving away sent my social life into a tailspin and turned me into the permavirgin I am today.

Now I can't play Halo without reflecting on the sad trajectory my life took after I no longer had friends with whom to play Halo.

yes, it's not a big deal, just solder a new one in, if the acid eats some traces you just fix them

The clock capacitor issue is only worrysome for the 1.0-1.5 versions. 1.6 has a bigger cap. If the cap is blown on the 1.6 it wont turn on until the bad cap get replaced. The capacitor in the older versions can leak onto the board and make the traces corrode.

>>53498
I own many versions including a 1.6, the clock capacitor is not bigger, it's only a different type.
>The capacitor in the older versions can leak onto the board and make the traces corrode.
We've heard this like a dozen times already. Just learn to solder and fix the traces/replace the capacitor or don't even bother buying one of these consoles to mess around with, seriously. The clock capacitor is the least concerning potential hardware problem given the age of original xboxes. If you buy one its disc drive will almost guaranteed be useless and need a special hack performed on a desktop computer disc drive. The PSU mosfet may explode or already did. The factory hard drive is almost guaranteed dead and you need to modchip the board to install a new HDD. Sata HDD? your sata adapter will probably wind up incompatible btw. Other capacitors may be dead. The list goes on. You gotta be a fairly adept modder to even mess with the things these days. But all anyone ever talks about is the clock capacitor.

Broken Lines: Turn-based tactics game with a WW2 aesthetic, but that isn't actually about fighting Nazis or anything. It actually takes place in some random, fictitious European country with mysterious, yet pretty generic looking soldiers in gas masks as your main antagonists. Has an interesting gimmick where each turn of gameplay moves for like 5-7 seconds and you can queue up as many actions as you want in between initiating the next turn, where time resumes again. It's a system that's pretty easy to master and is enjoyable enough for a single playthrough. Has some replay value in regards to random encounters and having to pick which mission to take along each step of the story, which also informs the other endings and such, but, overall, it's still fairly minimal stuff.

Supraland: First-person adventure platformer/puzzle game. Combat is fucking awful and really detracts from the experience, but, even so, the game has a really well designed map that while in the beginning is pretty boring becomes more fun to explore the farther you get into it and that, by the end, you'll be able to leap and glide all over. Also has some decent/clever puzzles, which tie into the progression of your abilities throughout the game. All the secrets are nicely well hidden, but not so much that it's obnoxious. Despite the terrible combat, the final boss to this game is actually one of the best I've seen in a while and is quite well done and memorable and it's essentially one big puzzle you have to solve when it comes to defeating it, which I thought was quite neat.

Katana ZERO: Another Hotline-Miami type game where you die in only a single hit. Has a time manipulation mechanic which is fairly novel and pretty neat to fool around with, deflecting bullets and stuff. Has solid gameplay and is definitely one of the better/more memorable HM clones to be released. Pretty short though, which kind of sucks. Only takes a couple hours to finish and it ends on mostly a cliffhanger, leading into the eventual sequel. Played it again to get the true ending and was somewhat disappointed on how little actually changes in the story. Also, just so you know, the last form of the true final boss is fucking brutal, but in all the worst most bullshit ways possible. Such as, screen wide attack patterns that can very easily clip you and thus kill you instantly, or summoning tons of random smaller enemies to fuck with you and that can also kill you in one Post too long.

I don't think this game's been mentioned so far, I just remembered it. Not obscure but not exactly well known either.

Severance: Blade of Darkness
Old spanish game from the early 2000s. I haven't played it much and it was a long time ago but it was pretty fun dismembering enemies. Maybe I'll get around to finishing one of these days.

life was *better before smartphones
probably one of the most devastating inventions of the 21st century.I have to admit the psp was pretty much a precurser, but nothing compared to the hell smartphones have brought upon this world

>>53221
I hate you faggots who just can't help but post an image when replying it's like you think no one will see/care if you don't.

>>53221
that image is cute, it's also funny and made me laugh

>>53269
Anime posters are all attention whores who pretend to be smug despite being the most insecure. This insecurity is why they have to post anime faces all the time, they don't think their posts have enough merit to stand on their own.

>>53271
pretty sure it's from loli porn
ignorance is bliss i guess

>>53067
Why? I don't get it.

>>53073
something something tranny suicide

>>53067
In my shithole country 41 is the number for faggots.

All those lgbt games suck ass and dick and balls

Would be cool if thay included the good stuff, like "Venture seas"

>>53073
its because 41% of transgenders committed suicide

I feel there is this weird timeline, circa late 90s to mid 2000s where most games are basically unplayable.
post 2010s games have no problem to run on modern pcs due to steam and all that jazz. Early-Mid 90s games are monopolized by gog so they handle the compatibility issues. But many games from 98-99 to 2006 are in this weird limbo. They were made with tech that won't run on dosbox etc, but they were also made before steam became popular. So they are in this kind of limbo. And if the publisher is defunct (3do) or is a big publisher that doesn't care about old games (like EA) it is even worse, say goodbye to remasters.

When I was a teenager I always dreamed of extensively playing the sims 2. Installing the main game, playing it fully, then moving on to the 1st expansion, then second and so on. I remember with my shitty 128k connection, taking a week to download all the expansions back in 2007, only to find out I couldn't run the latest expansions.
Back in 2018 I decided to play sims2 again, but boy it was a hassle. Thankfully it still has an active community so I was able to fix a lot of the problems, but trying to find "no cd" cracks in this day and age is nigh impossible. I manage to find some cracks in an obscure blog from 2009. (funny enough gamecopyworld still stands but many of their cracks don't work)

Buy an old console or a mini console with pre-installed games. The SNES Classic just works right out of the box. It never connects to the internet or has to update anything. No distractions from other humans. No memes. It's like being a kid again. Spent all day playing Super Metroid. Found the gravity suit and am exploring Maridia.

On the topic of PC Gaming, epic games store gives out free games, and I really wanted to try out this free clicker game, because I like simple clicker/idle games to waste time, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, but epics game store launcher isn't properly installing, when I try to get it to launch, it says some error means it didn't unstall properly, I'm redownloading it now, it will probably happen again. I guess I know atleast Steam launcher can install, I thought all the hate against EGS was steam fanboy butthurt, but I can see now, it truly is complete trash, well I guess I'll go download the game from steam, but it has less content as it is a free to play game.

>>53208
Yeah, I've gotten some free games off EGS too but the launcher is just such a piece of shit it's incredible. I don't get how they can't spend the resources to make it better than steam with all their money.

>>53208
idk I'm fairly new to gaming, and when I was starting I was loyal to Steam just because I thought it was simple to have everything in one launcher, and I just picked up an Epic game here and there, but eventually I had better AAA library on Epic. I've never had any problems with the launcher, although there are less features etc. But it even works fine when it has to be combined with origin and stuff.

problems should be fixed now
