Playing some NFS Most Wanted on a PS2 Slim, after doing the whole save file thingy, both on here and Underground 2.

You just don´t finish the game, you keep playing it.

This is a 100% save file + all junkman parts collected + challenge series in their respective order.

The career police have retained their full force, due to the fact that, i havenn´t been busted "yet" ( i do soft resets ) Otherwise, the difficulty will go down. The same applies to NFS Carbon, since i have tested it.

Well, making good use of this solid CRT, the thread pretty much.

I would just keep jumping between nations in HOI4, let the AI build an army for me, use it, wreck it, switch to the next nation.

I feel like a lot of conspiracy theories of history, basically come down to, the same guy is running both sides in an HOI4 game.

It's not all that common, supplying both sides.

But it happened for real in Iran-Iraq War where both sides were hated by the world. And the biggest global alliance faction was "both sides".

Albatross 18 / PangYa - anyone remember this?

This Korean game began in 2004 and had several seasons. Got a Wii adaptation in 2006 called "Swing Golf PangYa" ported in English as "Super Swing Golf".

in 2011 they had an expansion called Wiz City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caogK7f8Djw

which is about when it got a Steam group https://steamcommunity.com/groups/albatross18

I remember running this back on my Vista PC, it was just a nice zen waifu fest. I want something like this again. Not a golf fan but it made me want to try.

Not sure when this game fell apart, maybe 2012ish? I'll admit not to playing it in it's end stages since my PC was having probs gaming and I'd switched to anime.

I'm wondering if finding the ROMs for Wii emulatorwould be the closest I'd get to playing the original PC game again. I'm just curious how it felt, I don't remember clearly.

Yeah OK gangschizo fedglowie. I downloaded a Rom for Pangya PSP like 3 hours ago and just tried to launch it. It kept crashing so I came to Wizchan to take my frustrations out on other wizards and the first thread is this.

I only got back into gaming recently, and while there are some simple games I do enjoy playing, there are other more complex games, that I just enjoy watching guides and gameplay of rather than playing myself.

Lately I've been watching cinematic battles from WH3. And while I'm a big history buff and not into fantasy. I can see now why Total War has moved in a more fantasy direction. Men in identical uniforms shooting spears, muskets or tanks at each other, just doesn't compared to dinosaurs battling magic mummies.

Its just so cinematic. Like a whole fantasy series of novels, shows, films lead up to this climactic epic battle. But its all climax no plot needed.

So let's talk about consuming rather than playing gameplay.

 No.61096

And in the opposite direction a peaceful scenic tour around the RDR2 map.

I've heard a lot about RDR2, but never had much desire to play it, and gunsling and story. I just wanted to tour the map.

And its like a 3d version of like old 1890s city footage. Feels like a time machine.

And rather than wandering alone. Being on a horse carriage. It feels like you're some rich nut who paid a taxi cab to take you across the USA.

 No.61098

>>61096
If you enjoy the realism of the scenery in RDR2, you might enjoy destination journeys and tours done in Euro Truck Simulator and Flight Simulator. I personally enjoy these atmospheric ambient / downtempo music loops and mixes played over driving game footage.

I think there is just something “magical” about old games, like someone’s great ideas put in to the limitations of a early 2000s game engine that was handcrafted by a passionate nerd. I think limitations and those unique oversights/bugs were really what spawned great games.

These days it’s just like every single game is extremely high fidelity. We have more than enough resources to throw at anything now, there are almost no limitations, things are homogenized, most everything is running in Unreal or Unity engine.

It feels almost like the frontier of gaming is over, all that’s left is businessmen producing calculated slop over and over again, sequels on sequels. Devs these days aren’t building their dreams, they’re just building a paycheck.

What do you think? Was old really better or is it nostalgia

Theres a limited number of games that are good in the same way there are a limited amount of sports that can be popular. You only got like 5 sports people play and it can't get any better than that. Likewise there are only like 10-15 good games and you can't come up with anything new. All the best games have already been released. This is what modern gaming struggles with. They can't think of new ideas for something that hasn't already been done so they are rehashing and mixing elements of the past games and taking away the soul and replacing it with wokeshit and modern business practices. I've been playing the same exact games with a few exceptions for the past 13 years and haven't grown bored of them in the same way a person can watch or play football all their life and not get bored of it. Here are the good games of each genre.

FPS genre
Earlier CODs
Gears trilogy
Halo 3
Team fortress 2 and a few other class based shooters
Counter strike

And theres not much else in the way of shooters. I'm talking about legacy games that people play for decades. So there are plenty of other good games from the time but those are the main ones.
I'm gonna be completely honest and say i don't know enough to make a statement about other genres like RPGs but with shooters this is the case. There are also fighting games like street fighter and mortal kombat which are fossilized genres which never change. Meaning that their combat is always the same with no significant changes. If it were to evolve it would go 3d arena style but fighting game fans are the most stubborn traditionalists. I want more melee combat games but unfortunately chivalry and mordhau are niche games that only a few autists really like. Without killstreaks and gimmicks people will never appreciate those games. and competitive players already exploited them to the ground.

Older games were worse but older communities were better, for a variety of reasons, from less big sponsor monetization (a la e-sports), higher barrier of entry both technical and finantial, and there being less people overall, which led to closer communities, servers and so on.
Also I dont know how to articulate this but people were less afraid of being part of something. People in somethingawful or forechan or whatever other forum made SA or forechan guilds, servers, maps, mods,… This never happens anymore, and when it happens its actively mocked because its considered "reddit" to be part of a community.
There's never going to be another 4chan mario kart tf2 map, its a historical artifact.

I often times like to fantasize what it would be like to travel back in time to, like, 2006 or 1994. Really, nothing much has changed except for entertainment and electronics. I would more than likely be terribly bored in 1994 with no internet, no computers, no cellphones, nothing portable like a Gameboy back then for me either, and the only games I had to play were platformers like Super Mario World, Sonic, and Star Wars.

2006, however, would be a somewhat different story. I had two PCs and a cellphone with internet and Tetris. I would still miss a lot. I sold the last of my consoles (Playstation 1 and N64) around 2003 and didn't have any consoles of my own again until I got myself a PS3 in 2011 and a PS4 in 2016. Since my PCs were pretty much always outdated; I was stuck playing custom maps like on Starcraft Brood War and Warcraft 3 and various mods for Half-Life 1 and 2 for many years.

You know what I would've loved playing back in 2006? No Man's Sky. The closest I had to No Man's Sky back in 2006 was probably Wurm Online and promises by Maxis and Will Wright about Spore. I mean, sure, No Man's Sky was a piece of crap in 2018. But back in 2006? That game would've been incredible.

I feel you. I have so many story ideas that I used to come up with but I have no soul left to care about them. I don't care about putting something out into this world anymore.

Zoomer here, I've got a lot of time to kill, I wanted to ask any wizzies here what would be some must play games for me to try out on any console excluding ps5 exclusives. I've started playing some ps2 games such as drakengard and Persona 3, I got really tired of all the dark souls I played. Preferably give me a lot of japanese made games, although that isnt mandatory. Thank you!

Which visual novels have you enjoyed lately, wizzies? For me, I'd say my top VN's were Yume Miru Kusuri (only got one ending, am planning on picking it back up in the future) as well as "Our Lost World Beneath the Skies". I'm still looking for that VN that I can give a 10 on in Vndb, which I'm going to reserve for just one.
What qualities do you look for in a VN? I look for depth, music, and variety, and I don't like sex scenes (for YMK I would just skip past).

I read Umineko.

Good, but not really the masterpiece I was wanting it to be. It's a more-or-less fair/solvable murder mystery story (that's far too long) where figuring out the culprit is the easy part- Figuring out the tricks behind the murders is the easiest part once you've got the right culprit- and figuring out their motive feels almost impossible (I still don't fully get it). I have two main criticisms about the tricks behind the mystery.
A. It's really boring. The solution to every single mystery on the game board is invariably 'multiple personalities/biased perspective/bribed accomplices' with few exceptions, and it's fine, but I was hoping for something else
B. If you really nit-picked at it, Shannon/Kanon/Beatrice being the same person (Sayo) probably contradicts a bunch of red truths. But you're not supposed to be exclusively relying on the red truths for your theory-crafting anyway, so having to twist the semantics a little to make it fit the interpretation probably isn't a massive flaw. It's still pretty lame, though.
I like Higurashi more. Something's missing from Umineko that prevents me from saying I love it, and it might be because the plot just feels aimless and meandering for the most part, and because the characters weren't handled how I would have preferred them to be. It's hard to say. The story can be summed up as Battler's attempt to understand what Beatrice is telling him. He understands that by the time we get to episode 6. After that, all that is left is to give an answer check for the mysteries and resolve Ange's arc. After it's over, it ends up feeling like not that much happened, since the 'game boards', which took up most of the time, were only stories the game masters were telling to get across some kind of message.
My favourite characters are probably Maria, Lambdadelta, Eva, Battler, Nanjo, Kumasawa and Kinzo. I guess Featherine is also pretty interesting.
Despite being a basic logic puzzle that you might find in a professor layton game for 30 picarats, solving Bern's puzzle without using hints made me feel like Megamind.
I could say more than that, but I won't.

then there's that across the canyon that you shoot once, he runs off and dies, gives 11k rune, then you rest at the grace 5 feet away and repeat. getting to the area can be done through Liurnia if you have a non-pirate copy (quest requires invasions)

then there's the sentient miniature ranni doll, the one described as being realistic to the touch. hard to get but worth it

Almost every single game that I played in 2023 was a game made in Japan. Mainly JRPGs. Now I can't barely play western games, which I found dull and ugly.

when Japan became the best game developer?
