Apparently, NFS Underground 2 is abadonware now…

…all while SimCity 3000 isn't. Weird, huh?

>Need for Speed: Underground 2 still has very active fan community, it has a lot of modifications, you can find mods for the game on fansites like NFSAddons, NFSCars, NFSMods and many other fan websites and communities. And if you want to play with enhanced graphics - check this Graphic Modpack by JabFission

Games to play forever

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?

games you found overated

Games you played that were not as good as the mainstream masses/reviewers would had you believe.
Also games that were recommended by "patricians", that turned out to just be games that cater to their autistic taste.

While I didn't find the gameplay or aesthetic of borderlands bad. The writing is so god damn cringy, it's like a boomer trying to write something he thinks modern teens like. After 2 hour I just couldn't stand it anymore. Gearbox were veterans and they had the backing of 2K a major publisher, this was the best writer they could get?
The deigns of banished isn't bad. It just that it felt like doing homework instead of playing a fun game. Many hours of planning, trail and error. Only an autist could think about spending the weekend for this.

Visual Novels Thread

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).

Kinjer

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

Game Recommendation

In this thread, ask other wizards for game recommendations.

I'm starting a new thread to look for wizards who played lots of city building games. I'm looking to get immersed in one of those games and I mean I want to completely forget this world exists. I don't have a preference for theme, though I would prefer not to play anything medieval. However if you played ton of these games and the one you think it's the best happens to be medieval themed I don't mind, let me know. Thanks in advance.

I've even thought of stooping to trying out anime games. Why is gaming so dead, bros?

Were old games better?

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

This is it. Steam no longer works on my Windows version. I couldn't play GTA after an update few months ago and now I can't start Cities Skylines or anything at all. It's time for me to move to a different OS. Windows 11 is too annoying to use so I will go with Linux. Which one will be best for gaming? I always used Debian and it seems SteamOS is based on Debian

Xenomaker (Xenophobia 3D Remake)

Remember 237's Xenophobia?
That 2D game that seemed like it was made for your mom to find you playing and send you to a psychiatrist.

Now with polygonal monkeys, gore, and the same "they're going to pull my legs tonight" atmosphere.

LOSING INTERESS IN GAME AS GET OLDER?

I'm 31 years old now, and more and more I grow weary to spend much time playing games, I becoming rare and rare finish a game, because I think is get the waste doing grinding or wasting 40 minutes trying to defeat 1 boss, I don't know, I used to play a lot more, spend hours upon hours on it, now it's seems quiet wasteful time, I don't know, very few games have a nice balance of time, gameplay and story, everything seems bloated and a waste of precious time, or maybe I'm just lazy, I don't now.

All your favorite media is gone and now belongs to faggots

I have the sinking feeling that we have lost Minecraft and culture surrounding the things that were like it to the new normies the nermies if you will. For example the core of Minecraft c418 has been gone for some years now and the majority if not all of nermies can't really tell a difference. The new music isn't even necessarily bad it's just not it and you know what fuck you yes Minecraft does have a specific feeling to it so by playing music that sounds like it's directly out of terraria. Anyway it wasn't the bad graphics or the lagg that gave you the absolute Nirvana. It was the boldness of mostly jeb and a little from notch and not being afraid to add something so small like a fucking firefly. And that's pretty much it I don't feel like doing anymore I just had to purge all of this after hearing all the nermies on cucktube and queddit.

Things you've learnt from games.

This might sound strange -or probably not- but has anyone acquired lucrative knowledge from video games? If so, please kindly share it, whatever it is.
I'll start.

I was playing a rpgm game which was tackling a narrative of an existence shimmering between awareness and non-awareness, where the overall antagonist together with a surprising other character –an ally, at that– were in a plot to reduce the world of awareness into a barren 'non-awareness' and what consequences would occur thereafter.
The game's journey towards the inevitable clash against the non-aware perpetrators alongside its thwart-evil conclusion were typical and yet I couldn't relent from thinking about the dualism it was tackling until it hit me what a perfect descriptor it is for a lot of problems, common and difficult alike.

In my understanding, a problem is always interpretable in two facets: problems brought by problematization which are caused without being any the wiser or 'aware' of causes to infelicity and problems that are unavoidable through one thing or another. Now, I'd like to think that the dividing line between these two is easy to draw but I'm sure argumentation is anticipatable so I won't elaborate on that further.
What interests me here are problems as a result of problematization.

I'll take something like social media addiction as an example.
It often is the case that a person addicted to social media has an obvious realization of this and yet cannot help but continue to tolerate it. Occasionally, he or she will take breaks propelled into action by external circumstances, not least of which are other people inclining them to do so, but will desist shortly after even if said external measures are still present. They simply cannot help but come back to it, no matter what.

Why is this? well, it's an addiction for a reason right? If just 'stop doing it' was enough, the label 'addiction' wouldn't be warranted. Similarly, culling the ignorance of the harmful 'consequences' and emphasizing them again and again are equally ineffective if not entirely meaningless as they do nothing to sway the person in question from avoiding social media.
Ignorance is not the issue, it never is and never was just like a guy who cranks it 5-10 times a day knows he's going overboard, so too does someone who spends 20 hours on 4chan, to give an example.

What's going on then? The game's narration construct has an answer to this: These people with problematized resultant problems are outside of 'awareness' and will therefore never understand the crux of their issue in the true sense, no matter what happens, and are left to suffer with them forever.

It tells us that when we're told something or taught something, we're usually allegorically moved positively along the X-axis in a Cartesian plane and are, therefore, progressing with contents that are technically already intuitively familiar to us in the most subtle of ways; Our precept as a species puts us in a domain of an existent 'awareness' such that everything derived from within it is as transferable as the ease of putting 1 and 1 together. That the transferability may sometimes take weeks, months or even years does not detract the ease with which it happens or that it happens at all–Yes, that last point is important, that 'awareness' can at all enable an assured progression in whatever is within its realm.

Consider the case of something like the 'easy peasy method' for people suffering from porn addiction. Why was it [and in most cases, still] lauded as being worthwhile? It's because it dangles this idea of awareness and non-awareness perfectly, suggesting that we simply initially lack the sight, the awareness, as needed to realize we aren't dealing with anything major; something that is so easily dismissible but not recognized as so.
Going on and on and on about why porn is uncontrollable and why it's too 'overpowering' instantly was shattered at the onset of this notion.

This game truly made me realize the permanent parallelization between being aware and non-aware and how ignorance should never once be used as a synonym for the former. It really shouldn't.

Anyway, that's my story. What about you wizzies? Anything like how Touhou taught you about sacred geometry?

Must play games for every serious volcel gamer

Field of Glory 2
This is a cult classic, you MUST own it if you have a PC. There's not even anything to debate here.
>Unity of Command 2
Entry level wargame that with made with the assistance of the Serious Sam devs, don't need DLC and the main campaign is very good and has branching paths based on your performance.
>Shadow Empire
Wargame mashed up with 4x, you play as a military dictatorship and compete with rival factions to conquer alien planets. Heavy emphasis on logistics and trench warfare.
>Endless Space 2
Classic space 4x with some really interesting races and just overall a very clean and well-done representation of that sub-genre.
>Trails in the Sky
This is THE one and only premiere PC JRPG, and is a continuous series that has been ongoing for 20 years.
>Geneforge Mutagen
You are a meat wizard called a "shaper" which can create life, and get lost on a sentient dinosaur island. The series is currently being remade.
>Age or Decadence
A mix of fall of Rome and ancient aliens. Your character build and choices drastically alter the game.
>Knights of the Chalice
Grognard battle chess in the OGL 3.5e ruleset with some interesting homebrew.
>Legend of Grimrock 2
A dungeon crawler but you're trapped on a massive island instead of a dungeon. There's not enough room in the character limit to explain everything good about it but this is easily one of the best games I have ever played in my entire life and I felt depressed when it was over.

I might genuinely be autistic and I'm not even joking… though the thing is, a part of me feels perfectly fine with it. I mean, does anyone else here do this? I've never finished a single Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokémon… and that's just for the major Nintendo IPs, if I go for other major ones, I've never finished a single Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear, Elder Scrolls, Mega Man, Castlevania… and then there are also so many licensed IPs that are successful in video games aswell, I haven't played many in the last few years either… and whenever I try, I just drop it after a while, they're not much fun to me. I essentially have these dozen franchises I grew up playing and loving so much, and nowadays I either replay the ones I grew up with, or go after new installments from those very franchises that I hadn't really played before, over and over again…

>Is this a sign of undiagnosed autism or ADHD?
>Have you ever gone though something similar?
I've attempted to get started on some of these major franchises before, those lists with the so called top video games of all time, the ones you have to play, the ones no one in this hobby should miss out on at all… and yet I never get truly immersed in it and often drop it in favor of playing yet another installment from a favorite franchise of mine… is it because I didn't grow up with them? I suppose so, perhaps if I did then they'd be among these franchises I always go back to, though there's no way to be sure… still, it's cozy in a way, the familiarity, and discovering a new favorite among an old franchise you know and love, though at times it feels like I'm genuinely missing out, at least from what is written everywhere online, but whenever I try to break away and try these interesting IPs people acclaim, it just doesn't do it for me, a part of me wishes it did… but that's fine.

I look at what's required to get a better computer and it's literally either wasting $500-700 on a 7 year out of date lurkan machine being peddled by electronics stores, or it's going full force and wasting $2000+ on parts like GPUs, new CPUs, etc. You can't really get a good GPU for less than $400 at the moment, that's more than I spent on my current set up. People just seem unwilling to sell old gaming computers like they do old consoles.

I keep on being told online that I'm just a fucking idiot and that I don't get PC gaming, and it's cheaper than console gaming if I actually do it properly. But where are these cheap computers being sold?

2013 is the year gaming in the west died. The shitty business practices of lootcrates and paywalls became common place, low effort quirky indie games became popular. And the government/whatever boogieman you fear, finally after nearly 3 decades of constant shitting on and denouncing of video games realized that they can shill propaganda through this medium of entertainment. Every game since has been infected by this, vidya became fully mainstream. You can argue that it became mainstream much earlier but 2013 is when it began to come full circle. Whats even worse is they are pressuring the east to conform to western standards. We have seen the glory days of vidya for sure. Its only more downhill from here.

constructive pc games

these are some of the only games i can bear to play after a dew decades of video games:

factorio
dwarf fortress
cities skyline
rimworld
sim city 4 (with the network addon mod!)
airline tycoon
pizza connection
theme hospital
anno 1602

they related in genre in the sense that they are building something up: management, city builder, colony sim.

i waited to play dwarf fortress until the premium edition on steam came out with the graphics and so far i very much like it. only recently got into it. it is a lot of fun to play because the z-levels. it feels like being in a sky scraper where there is just infinite floors to build on. it's not really a sky scraper but instead it is a mountain but the dwarfs are so crafty, they make a mountain a nice home. great game. takes a bit to get the hang of but the degree of freedom is really nice, i would think wizards would like it, some probably already do.

I have a lot of Tiberian Sun screenshots in .pcx format. I would like to convert them all to png with imagemagick but there is something wrong with picture ratio. If I use Photoshop I can fix it by going to Image->Pixel aspect ratio->Square (as in pic rel). I don't know how to replicate that option in imagemagick though and I need need it because I don't feel like manually editing hundred screenshots in Photoshop. Do anyone of you know if there is some option I could use? I tried googling it and tried several options but nothing helps.

Is Anyone Playing the Japanese Version of Monster Hunter Generations 'MH:XX'?

I bought this gem a while ago, and honestly, it’s amazing. I’ve only been playing for about a year, but things started getting really tough once I hit G-rank. I can’t seem to progress, and even though I have the maxed-out weapons, Fatalis knocks me out with a single hit. Is there anyone else who has this version and wants to play together?

Calling all dashwizzies who use Geometry Dash's Daily Chat!

Daily Chat is one of those places where all's implicit and assumed. Dashwizzies abuse the glorious refresh button in hopes that there's a new funny comment, and oftentimes try to beg for likes. When a new Daily Level swings in, it's probably an opportune time to likebeg.

If you know, you know. What were some good memories you had of Daily Chat?

the best game in the world

I want to share one of the best games I've ever played in my life, not only because of its aesthetics, but also because of its playability and the great content it offers, not only that, apart from being very accessible despite having low graphics (not to say shit) Runescape old school is one of those games that are little known, this game contains millions of stories, of Venezuelans earning a living to be able to eat selling runescape gold, from people who repeat the same action for 3 months in a row to be able to get 99 in a skill, and even people who pay in-game money so they can have a girlfriend. Runescape is huge and you don't stop finding new things every day, it's full of content and besides it's FREE… Up to a certain point since you can buy a membership and play the game 100%, since the free game is limited to certain things and certain sectors, but don't worry you can farm money from the game and buy a bond, which gives you 14 days of free membership, and if you know how to take advantage of them you will never have to spend real money to buy the membership. It's crazy what this game can be and I invite you to play it for free on steam, android, and iso. I don't know what my fellow virgins expect to be able to play this fantastic game

Slayers Online

French wizs might have heard of this.

Despite the english name, Slayers Online (SO) is a french-speaking amateur MMO that was created in 2002 by a certain "frostfall" using RPG Maker 2K assets.

It was the poor man's WoW for kids with slow internet or parents who didn't want to pay a sub.
Yes, the MMO was entirely free. NOT freemium, free. You couldn't interact financially with the game even with donations. Obviously because it ripped many assets from RM2K or other games like FF1-6.

The gameplay itself sucked. You had one key to attack, one key to defend, 3 classes that were not balanced at all, and thats about it.

But we liked it because it was an era when online games weren't as ubiquitous as they are now. They were mostly for introverted kids like me who didn't partake in IRL activities.

At its peak (2007-2008 id say) the server averaged 400 online players.

The game admins gave you the possibility to make your own skin (RM2K style). Doing one takes some training but it was accessible. At some point, "skinneurs" as we called them had the possibility to sell access to their skin. This led to the game economy being ruined as the richest people in the game were making too much gold.
I myself created skins and was shocked by how much gold normalfags were willing to put into them, but I didn't complain and exploited this lol.

I also learned HTML4 at 13 just to make a cool description for my character. Didn't have any programming knowledge before that.

The game slowly died out as f2p online games became mainstream, but also because it was hacked so much times as the game's infosec also stayed in the 2000s era (passwords hashed with MD5 etc).

However it will always have a special place in my heart.

One funny anecdote: In september 2007 frostfall and another admin had a falling out and fought IRL. In reaction the admin replaced all skins in the game with a penis that attacks by ejaculating. That was fun.

Any frenchwiz here who played it?

Fuck it the SM64 camera is the worse control had come across, might seems good when you are playing on N64 but a hell when you try it in emulator, you can see a shit. Beating each level in the emulator using pc keyboards was a hell for me, i don't know how the speedruners nerd do it that quick without a N64 controller.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

I wanna share some thoughts about FF7 Rebirth after completing it. tl;dr the game is SO GOOD when they just do new flashy versions of the original story (pic related). Most of the new ideas are bad though. The exception is the stuff related to Jessie.

Spoilers following.

In Rebirth you watch a recording of a show that Jessie did at the Gold Saucer and it is a very powerful emotional moment. Jessie being a famous actor is the only new idea that worked in Rebirth. Everything else is so stupid. It grinds my gears so much that instead of getting Rocket Town, we get stupid chocobo minigames, alternate timeline Zack, and some literally who Wutai commander talking to Rufus Don't you think they could have used that energy to make Rocket Town instead of just skipping it? The whole Rocket Town scenario just doesn't happen in FF7 Rebirth, and that is BS.

PS. Oh yeah, a new idea that was good is the Vincent boss battle. That was fucking metal, brutal, edgy. Like some PS2 Devil May Cry shit. Although it is preceded by Cait Sith box elevator puzzles.. one of the worst things in any video game ever. The only thing that got me through that horror is pure love for FF7, I tell ya.

Oh yeah it is hilarious at the beginning of the game with the Nibelheim sheriff. "Sephiroth, you sick son of a bitch!!". That was so funny. It was like watching a B horror movie, but a B horror movie that is actually really good and the actors put in a great enthusiastic performance.

Pre-rendered backgrounds

Pre-rendered backgrounds with 3D assets should've remained until at least the 2010s for certain genres. I'm pretty sure much of the love for the golden age of Final Fantasy (VII- IX) and the early Resident Evil games is due to the highly detailed nature of pre-rendered graphics. The worlds depicted felt more alive and lived in, meaning kids could imagine themselves in it more easily.

It's just a factor that nobody really picks up on when discussing these games. I remember my Grandma watching me play through the Winhill sequence in Final Fantasy VIII and going on about how beautiful the village looked. I don't think you could've had anything comparable in detail in full 3D for at least fifteen years, and not anything as consistently pretty over the course of a full game until around today.

Final Fantasy X was sort of a graphical step down in a sense of so much being plain, flat and ugly. So much so that when you step into a pre-rendered background house, you're taken back by how detailed that is compared to the ugly flatness of the outside.

GAME REVIEW - Pacific Drive

TL;DR— Nice plot but otherwise $10 Walmart bin game

* YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY WIN. Beating the story missions just unlocks free-roam instead of, idk, escaping the hellscape you're in.

* Fag/troon/lesbo/pedo stickers are unlocked by default and you have to get a mod to remove them

* You get absolutely no clue where to find mid/late game resources or how to harvest them. Not even from the 3 people on the radio who are supposedly trying to help you.

* Lore snippets are actually well written but finding all of them is a horribly long grind

* Some of the upgrades are literally useless and expensive to boot.

* Can't decorate, upgrade or change the auto shop office at all.

* Object detail is not that amazing but your GPU will sound like a jet engine.

* Can get locked into an unwinnable mission in several ways with very little or no warning.

* No minigames at your home base, nothing to do at all besides FIX TEH CAR

* Surplus energy collected from 'anchors' builds up very quick in lategame (cuz you collect anchors on EVERY TRIP_) but there's nothing to do with it all.

Morrowind/OpenMW Modding

People are doing some crazy things with OpenMW, there is a huge Star Wars total conversion mod for OpenMW called Starwind for example. Basically a complete game.

I've only just played a bit of Starwind so far, but been in more of a fantasy mood so I've been exploring Tamriel Rebuilt.

There is also home of the Nords which adds a part of Skyrim, and there is another mod that so far adds an island of the coast of Cyrodiil called Province Cyrodiil.

I miss Habbo Hotel.

I scammed a lot of people on here for furni. Made a lot of scamming friends. Made just regular friends. Played with my sister and she would steal some of my furni by logging into my account.

I would sink probably 100's of dollars into this game if they brought back old habbo.

Fun times. Sulake (the company that owns it) ruined it though by trying to make it kid friendly and removing all the fun aspects of it. I miss when games were actually fun to play.

Should I get into playing an MMO RPG?

I sometimes watch an anime or read a manga about MMO video games of some sort and it has made me interested in the concept. Obviously as NEETs we should have advantages that other players wouldn't have that come from being able to spend a lot of time playing. I've never really played any multiplayer games, and when I did, I never interacted with anyone in them, just playing them like single player games. I wonder if MMOs could be a decent substitute for actual human interaction and companionship. Does anyone have any experience with these? What do you think about them? Worth playing for a wizard?
