moonside in earthbound, one of my favorite locations from any media i've encountered

probably anything in yume nikki

i wish i could be in some frigate in homeworld. that game felt like a saga

Centralia, the main basis for how the environment in Silent Hill was designed

E.Honda's bath-house

Neptunia cities if I could been one of the chosen ones to hang with the little succubi

it's a 'pvp-oriented' MMO, the experience is akin to a MOBA game but everytime you die you have to buy new equipments or grind for em.

and unlike other mmos in the market, this game has little to no solo-content

>>46641
more or less this, 5 people with average equipments can gang up on 1 end-game player no problemo

>>45910
you are using Age of empire 2 online community therminology!

Does anyone still play? Whats the best way to make alot of money? I've been grinding and selling resources mainly but it seems like it's taking forever. In OSRS I could just grind silver or fish and make a decent amount that way, there has to be a similar winning ticket for albion.

>>47299
I got a little over 300 hours, there’s nothing to do but grind unless you’ve got a group, I was unsuccessful in getting together more than a couple people to play with me though so I quit

>>47305
Well that sucks. Maybe if I try arena or pvp in the black zone.

Streets of Rage series lock the final boss if you don't play them on Hard.

>>43204
Move on to fighters like guilty gear
The difficulty never ends since there's always someone better

>>43379
Streets of rage has selectable difficulty?

Danmaku reward you with different attacks and a brilliant sense of accomplishment. Some of the most satisfying games I've ever played were these kind of STGs.
They're not hard to find and there's plenty of lists on which are the greatest. I guess I would recommend Mushihimesama for being an accessible entry to the CAVE style of games.

Play against a human at your skill level

>if you like a game and want to play it, you will be playing it completely alone soon, within a year probably, making all of your practice and money invested worthless instantly.
>when they try to "help" you, they'll talk in this weird coded language and think you're a retard for not understanding. they'll just think you're a retard in general and ostracize you in under 12 hours.
>it is a complete waste of time, money and energy.
So like everything else in my life?
Whatever should I do!
I think the only time I played a game against someone else was once when a neighbor allowed me into their house, since then I've literally only play alone or random online matches. It's not too uncommon from what I hear, those people are just obviously not gonna be in tournies much
>also i don't know if you care about this or not but most local fighting game hangouts have 0 white people, or their one white person will be a succubus/tranny.
the international appeal of the genre is one of the things that I find fascinating honestly
Also being an outsider in a public space, how could I ever deal with that
Though I think the weebier a game is the more white nerds would flock towards it

Almost forgot about this guy, he's been making his own DBZ fangame for years, way before fighterz was even announce
It's pretty astonishing, shame he uses English dubs and shit from Super though

>>46474
bullshit. Games like SF 3rd Strike, SF Alpha 2 and Guilty Gear have still have many players

>>45729
That Chun Li super combo at 1m37s

>>47252
For small games (about 1gb or less) I use igg-games, they upload them to goodle drive or mega and never got anything weird. For larger games just pirate bay

>>47276
>goodle
I need some sleep

>>47277
you just gotta let it go

ive got two shitty games with my video card don't really know if i can trade them or something

Test

>>47148
Cheers mate
Got the monitor, only messed around on the desktop for a few mins but it looks pretty nice out of the box. Ill have to tinker with the settings later I suppose. I was pretty anxious it would be defective or have major flaws but so far so good… as far as I can tell, that is. A monitor enthusiast might get anal and send it back for a flaw I would not even be able to notice lol, but tbh at this point I wouldn’t bother… still a massive upgrade from the piece of shit I used till then…

i didn't know my internet connection was that fast until i moved on to ssd, holy shit
speaking of which, should i use w10 to clean them and defragment them every once in a while, or is it unnecessary? i really don't know the dos and don'ts for these devices. got an nvme and a regular one

>>47279
nope, no need to defrag ssds, it could even decrease the longevity of your device

>>47282
can i use the windows 10 disk cleaning software thingy then?

>>47283
i don't know about that tool because i don't use windows 10. if it's just clearing unused/temporary files or whatever then i suppose it's fine, make sure it doesn't delete anything you need though

>Mining in singleplayer
>Come back to my hole in the ground, had only just gotten started
>Tiny 3x3 hole by the loot room in my makeshift base I dug to grow some netherwarts, hadn't lit it up yet
>Creeper spawns inside, runs out and bullies me
>Ok, that's over
>Open chest to grab stuff, creeper behind me blows up, damaging me and fucking up every chest in the room
>Fucking hell alright some of the chests dropped as items let me just pla-
>Third explosion deletes almost all my items

Sometimes I really wonder why I bother. Since fucking when do packs of 3 creepers spawn in such a small area and hunt me when im out of line of sight? What an immensely frustrating setback

>>47182
What did you have on you?

>>47182

I find the game adds in more creepers when you're in a crappy position like that, but mostly when you get diamonds. I remember getting diamonds, storing them in a chest in a mine, or at least trying to, and then having three creepers chasing me down. I've been calling BS on that kind of gameplay in my head for a while. I'm SURE the game gangs up on you when you're at your highest. It's scummy and it has made me want to hurt Notch more than a few times.

>download game
>start new world in hardcore mode
>make a base, farms, enchant tools, etc.
>play game every day after work for several hours
>get to a point where the main focus moves from survival to automatization
>die by a stupid accident
>get mad
>delete game for several weeks
>repeat
Anyone else does this? It's starting to feel masochistic.

>>47233
I just stopped playing hardcore mode.

We then have random indie hits like Amnesia being picked up several years later by the big devs. Design cycles mean it will take 3-5 years for a game to be finished. When Amnesia hit big as an indie title RE7 and Alien Isolation went into pre-production. By the time they were finished the genre had stagnated hard and feature creep would destroy the project. By the nature of the industry the big companies can't keep up with the indie flexibility, so even when new innovative titles can appear they're very hard to make. Either you're too small to develop the idea to it's fullest or you're too big and you have to predict a new genre's changing landscape. RE7 got lucky in this because VR exists. Silent Hills got fucked because Konami wanted to make a walking sim, made a prototype then found out the dev team had no idea what to do with the game after the prototype. It wasn't a project they cared for, just the way the genre went.

Then you have experimental Triple A games like Death Stranding. Kojima's a known quantity so I won't bother getting into that here. He's making a glorified walking sim with PS3 third person combat and went visual appeal. People scream how it's the next big innovative thing yet everyone can see the core gameplay is generic Sony game from the last ten years with a weird visual style to it. It's not innovative, it's not new, it's shuffling some chairs around in the kiddy pool of safe ideas. But a lot of game devs are failed movie directors and now they have the budget to hire big name hollywood stars and to make their own movies. That's a big reason why game budgets are so huge now, they're trying to be movies.

Games are no longer made, they're bought as a service to sell other services. When Ubisoft make a new far cry game they don't make every tree they need, they go to the unity store and buy a tree pack. Pay 1 artist to modify a few of them over an hour and now 20 hours of tree modeling has been cut down to 1 hour of an artists time. Alternatively they just go and scan it. Take 100 photos of a tree, put it in the software and it makes it into a 3D model for you. This is how RE7's graphics were done. It's how motion captures now done. Way less things you can do with a game when you have to base it all on reality and use real animations. Check out DMC 5's live action cut scenes if you want a laugh. That's how modern gamPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>The problem with modern gaming is it's being made by people who like games.
Nobody who likes games would think of putting microtransactions and DLC and shit in.

OP picture is almost prophetic

>>47099
shut the hell up. modern games are not made by people who enjoy games. it's made by corporations looking for the best way to make money in their given corner of the market. case and point, no franchise can survive a 3+ continuation without being turned into a corpse filled of shit that would never make sense in a game design but perfectly reasonable by the shallow turds in marketing research. if these people liked games they have to be the most perverted maso in existence to release content that only shows neglect for the medium. pretty much every large scale game in existence that was even half good was developed by coping artists accepting a lower station in life. games suck so much major ass today because there's basically no artists involved in the process, and the ones that are are hired for politics.

Runic rampage - just mindless, but fun hack and slash, graphics were clearly inspired by Warcraft 3
Wayward Souls - I only played a little, but quality is way above most mobile games. It's a rougelike action rpg with story.
Both games are also on PC and that's usually a sign of questions.

>>44330
*sign of quality
Typing on a smartphone is more difficult than playing games.

What are some good Android-exclusive games?

I tried playing neverending nightmares and got very very far, I think I can even guess the end but it proved to be too heavy for my cellphone processor :(

so I'm droping

but I recommend it I guess, I hate the money grabbing storiless stuff out there

>>44330
I will look into
but looks pretty heavy for my poor cellphone

I will name few android games that are actually great time passes and were made with some quality instead of that freemium focused shit.


>Limbo
A gloomy, depressive yet well made game

>NOVA 1&2
If you want halo inspired classic phone shooter fps

>Plants vs Zombies 1&2
Unusual defense game but real fun

>Dead Space
It came out in 2011 and felt really cool on android back then, graphics and gameplay were nice. Kinda like pc ver but mobile.

>Wild Blood
features unreal engine and feels like these oldschool 3rd person fighting games.

Grave Defense HD - made by russian developers a truly unique tower defense game. The story line and style are cheesy but in a good way.

I know

>>47234
this is hoi4 thread friend

I'll play, I'm not very good but it should be fun

>>47236
nice, you need me to buy it for you?

those games look very complicated, i usually only play easy games like elder scrolls
