I'm looking for games from the 2000s and before 2010, mainly. But are free to recommend.

These are my PC specs:
Windows 10
4GB RAM
Intel Celeron CPU N3050 @ 1.60 GHz (2 cores)

I wanted to play .hack//G.U., but my PC is crap and can’t handle the PS2 emulator.

I'm looking for games with a good story, dark humor, and absurdity (I hate using that term, but I can't think of a better one). I’m into JRPGs like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and .hack//G.U. — I haven’t actually played any of those, but they’ve always caught my attention kek.

To give you an idea of my taste, here are some games I like:

>Bioshock 1 & Infinite

>Manhunt 1
>DMC 3
>Postal 1
>Katana Zero

Check out some abandonware sites or GOG promos, also you definitely should try BloodRayne if you like DMC3 and Manhunt.

In my opinion,


Test Drive Unlimited

is a very *meditative* game

>people already have their cliques and hang out on discord
Yes. That's one of the aforementioned problems I alluded to earlier. This is a game model where traditional loners are forced to socialize and to form their own cliques constantly, and maybe they can even integrate with the day-0 discord cliques in a natural way. I think you could even make a daring game design choice to intentionally randomize spawn points of first time players to disincentivize day 0-grouping and incentivize organic socializing, but I understand that could be a very polarizing feature.

To facilitate this, you need to actually give people good tools for spontaneous chit-chat with strangers. I think it's mainly a UI/UX problem you need to fix
>chat bar is bigger and not scrunched up to the far left corner with awful 1px serif font
>chat bar integrates with game primitives and can do useful hyperlinks to UI actions
>maybe even proximity voice chat

I think the game should be played (when first time on the mmo) alone to discover the world and the game and mechanics. to this I have an idea, making a quest to help the new players and after that quest done ,he can go make a group and go beat some monsters together.

>sorry if I missread your post
I mean, your idea is not congruent with the idea that I posted but your idea is your idea and also valid

What I'm trying to get at is that there's so much boring busywork in most MMOs which I want cut down to 0. The dogma says you have to spend a mandatory >= 100 hours on leveling trash mobs that pose 0 threat before you can get to the actual "fun" part which are endgame raids. It's a very stupid game model and that's why any person that respects their own time just doesn't play MMOs. But it shouldn't have to be like that, because MMOs DOES have draws that isn't just doing pointless busywork, yet very few MMOs that I know of capitalize on them. Get them in the thick of grouping right away. Challenge their brain and get the adrenaline right at the first encounter. It isn't a way to casualize the game - it should still have a slow-burn leveling, but make the slow-burn leveling MEANINGFUL.

The game also doesn't have to dump a billion active skills and complex mechanics on you at the start for this, either. It can ramp up. But it's better to have the "ruleset/win conditions" progressively get more advanced than for the difficulty to go from 0 to 100 - there should always exists a very real possibility for failure even as you're learning the game.

It's this difficulty that makes social interactions spark. Maybe you group together as a bunch of lvl1s and finally beat the slimes together - that builds report and maybe leads to a friendship that lasts for weeks, maybe even months or years.

Sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record and repeating myself. It's just so frustrating how clear I can visualize my dream game yet I know it will never be made because I feel like nobody else is at the same wavelength as me here, neither the game publishers nor my fellow gamers.

what is the best FF game for someone who never played a FF game of his life?
To my perspective of an unplayer, I would say the story is meh, the combat are too boring and the worldbuilding is average. the objects/magic are average,etc…yadayada

Agreed. But its still a decent game tbh. I rate it kinda high, it has more world building than FF4 for example.

FF4 for the DS is really good tho, hardmode by default, graphics are a bit similar to Yoshitaka Amano's official FF art.

 No.63312

>>60006
if you are only going to play one game, FF5

if you plan on playing several games i think FF4 is the best place to start. First atb game, simple combat/character building. Fantastic adventure but harder to play later down the road. FF9 is also a good starting point.

wizchan would benefit greatly from having the FF8 schizo here. today i remembered that the city of esther is named after the technologist clan in mage the acension

6 has terrible gameplay without the BNW hack. Fantastic adventure, story, characters, aesthetic and music. BNW patch makes the gameplay match the rest of its core parts.

Yeah, but most cloud providers also use quantized models for the same reasons.
So if you opt to use local models hosted by some company, always check this. If they don't explicitly mention the weights they're hosting, there's a big chance their 70B is quantized to hell and is barely better than a full precision 8B.

The older I get, the narrower my taste in games becomes. It isn't for lack of trying, either. I constantly download new shit, but nothing ever sticks. I've come to the conclusion that there is an incredibly small handful of games actually worth playing and almost all of them are made by Nintendo, Blizzard, id Software or Capcom. If I had to name a few in no particular order:
>Diablo 2
>StarCraft
>WarCraft 3
>Ocarina of Time
>Resident Evil 4
>DOOM
>Quake 3
All of these games are 10/10 solid gold classics with endless gameplay and lively communities. Playing anything else just feels like buying store brand, what are your eternally playable games?

Fucking this. No other game has such a good atmosphere. If you have never played it before you HAVE TO. Walking around Santa Monica the first time is such a great feeling. The haunted house, the cemetery in Hollywood etc. Insane that there have been almost no RPGs that can compare after all these years.

How does this game make your list, yet literally no other proper action game title not do so?

No

OoT is filled with combat so bad it makes Dark Souls look deep, puzzles so easy that it makes "Wait a minute that card" look like Baba is You, and a world so barren it makes the average Final Fantasy map seem fun to explore.

I'm not going to say OoT is a shit game, but comon, its basically FF7-tier where nostalgia and hype overrides any actual sense of criticism or analysis.

Not to mention I highly doubt you actually play Starcraft/Quake3/Warcraft online, maybe you do, but I've not met many who play multiple 1v1 games that require such dedication to. In the past there were more lobbies in those games about doing fun and dumb minigames, but now the only population is for hardcore TDM and 1v1, CTF for Quake maybe. Age of Empires ought to also be something you list, but didn't, despite that actually still having SP campaign updates and a population that enjoys some more casual fun like black forest, x256 tech mod, forestnothing, etc.

Honestly I think you're just a poser who listed some "classics" in order to lend some legitimacy to bitching about nothing you have any qualifications to bitch about.

I just don't see it, usually competitive online players obsess over a single game, even finding someone who actively plays something like LoL AND Dota 2 regularly is harder than you might think, let alone Starcraft/Warcraft and a totally different genre like Quake. Personally I think it just comes down to the fact that eventually the competition is what drives you, and you'll get better faster by focusing on one single game. Realistically I don't think loading up your 20,000th game of CSGO is "fun" in a normal sense, but testing your skills and getting better than others might still be fresh and exciting.

The only games that matter for discussing any kind of overall plot are 1-4, since those are the only games made by Team Silent before everything got outsourced.
>All the protagonists did something at some point that haunts them and Silent Hill forces them to face their demons.
See, like this was something unique to Silent Hill 2 that the later games that were outsourced to other developers just ripped off, so people think it's something inherent to Silent Hill itself.

I'm really partial to the ideas in 4 just not the game. Creating the safe space and making it increasingly hostile and unnerving. Amazingly creepy enemy design. The revisiting of spaces a second time making you dread going back and them being even more hostile the second time. Those ideas are solid. They're just not executed well and that's apparent.
