Games to play forever Anonymage 03/10/25 (Mon) 16:21:38 No.62291 [Reply]

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?

Steins gate reboot Anonymage 05/15/26 (Fri) 21:35:56 No.63516 [Reply]

Hello everyone,

I recently started playing the Steins Gate VN, has been an enjoyable mean while, while searching for something related to the series I found out about the reboot. It seems the developers plan to copyright strike anyone who uploads or streams the game.

How do you feel about that

I'm hijacking this thread to share the post credits scene. People are saying this voice is shun from occultic;nine, who's supposed to be one of the main characters in the upcoming steins;???.
I barely remember occultic;nine though, so I don't really know what that means

games you found overated Anonymage 10/04/25 (Sat) 13:25:23 No.63216 [Reply]

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.

I was never really on board with open world games because of what you've described. The few I've played are either mostly empty, and the big world just inflates playtime via extra traversal time, or full of procedurally generated low quality shit that isn't fun to play or can be straight up broken because nobody play tested it.

it's all right. I hate cell shading, but the food and climbing mechanisms are something I wish elder scrolls had. I got filtered storming Ganon castle when I realized how much I'd have to grind to get guardian arrows, plus their aesthetic ruins the fantasy setting.

>>63613
attached is a game that is UNDERrated, but its open world done right. A lot of games like shoving a morality system, but this is one of the few games left that encourages you to act like an asshole, which I think is essential if you want to truly enjoy an open world game. Otherwise avoiding civilian casualties just makes the game tedious and frustrating.

tends to be the trade off for open world games. Focus too much on making the world "alive and beautiful", how it will serve the gameplay is secondary.

Stopped playing after black ops. Literally the same concepts since the first game. Just more "cinematic" and better graphics. No idea why the normies still love these games so much.
They are nothing but "babies first fps" in different coats of paint.

I've been playing GTA SA on my PS2. That's how I originally played it back in the day, but since then I've beaten it a couple of times on PC.
The PC version notoriously lacks a bunch of aesthetics flourishes, specifically lighting effects, but also things like reflections, the color grading, etc. There's also some very subtle stuff like rain effects looking slightly different. Stuff like that makes me think of how much stuff gets lost in between ports, even if it's subtle. All those little things add up and it creates a completely different atmosphere.
Also, this isn't specific to the game, but there's something about sitting down to play a game like this on console. On PC I tend to be less focused, have a tendency to alt-tab, or just save and quit the game because booting it up again takes like 3 seconds, etc. whereas the old-school console experience really makes me settle in.

I'm playing Metal Gear Solid. This is the first time. I have only played Metal Gear Solid 4 as a kid and I thought it was really fun even though I never understood the plot. Nevertheless, I have always wanted to play through the whole series, and I am now finally making time for it.

Update: I may have to reduce my praise a little. I am still enjoying the game but the problem is it feels like they made it easier than the first one by quite a bit. Maybe it is just me being more familiar with the system but it feels like there's just been a decrease in the difficulty all around that is independent of that. I wish they made it a little harder to level up and gain money. Stealing stuff is incredibly trivial. You unlock a few chests everywhere you go in early game and then you can basically just steal anything with zero chances of ever being caught. You become basically invincible in battle too if you drink enough potions. I managed to max out my charisma stupidly early by using henry's lion's perfume and buying cheap clothes. Maybe I made a mistake by not choosing hardcore mode but I figured it would be really hard to navigate on hardcore without ever having played the game first. Not like you can chat up NPCs to ask for directions.

been playing darksouls for a while and took the mage, I can kind of get the magic weapon ability. But having gems that reinforce your weapon to boost int damage? I never understood that when str and regular reinforcments would do the same. especially when magic weapon is now blocked from being used on the int reinforced weapon.

Not the OP, but assume you mean Skyrim specifically? I don't have much experience in TES1, but in 2, 3, and 4, magic is very powerful and basically becomes god-powers at high levels with enchantments.

Were old games better? Anonymage 07/31/21 (Sat) 04:30:50 No.54341 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

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

IMO, a lot of games of GameSpy era *that has been hackd to circumvent the GameSpy ties* are good and probably still active communities (hacking such games takes skill mind you)

same story with still mentionable old games like

* Age of Empires II
* Heroes of Might and Magic III
* Kosmicheskiye Reindzheri (e.g. Space Rangers)
* i dunno, Star Control II ?
* XCOM !!!
* Interstate '76 Nitro Pack counts, I suppose

I'm not sure I can call them "better" really… I mean, look at how much money and production values the industry has nowadays. I do subjectively tend to like them more though, mainly because of the hardware limitations forcing titles to be shorter and less bloated, often focusing on a difficult couple of hours without saving, or little saving, and overall simple 100% requirements. Nowadays my time to play is small, and when it comes I often don't have the energy, focusing on something short and sweet, simple loops where it's all about replaying the same levels until I get good enough at them to finish the whole thing in a sitting…

It's ideal for me.

I've been playing some 2015 games that I had to stop playing because of a game-breaking-bug that literally keeps me from advancing. When developers had to release on physical media there was a higher incentive to polish and make sure the game ran properly. Now it feels developers hardly play their own games anymore.

Game Recommendation Anonymage 05/23/23 (Tue) 12:40:02 No.59973 [Reply]

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.

Dwarf Fortress Anonymage 10/30/25 (Thu) 09:43:40 No.63276 [Reply]

Any wizards playing Dwarf Fortress? In spite of being an unofficial /wiz/ game (being on at least three banners) I haven't seen it being mentioned here.
Do you play Legacy or Steam version?
Since when?
Do you prefer to play Fortress or Adventure?
Do you have one main world you play, or do you just make a new one after being bored with your current fort?

Started playing it recently after it was on sale. Seems cool. Steam version, only fortress so far. Still trying to figure things out. At some point I had wild boars appear in my fort, which started fighting with the dogs there, causing there to be blood and boar corpses all over. Then the corpses started to decay and leak miasma (because I didn't know how to designate a trash area for corpses) which made everyone sick and vomit everywhere in addition to the blood and corpses. Seems like a game I can sink a lot of hours into, lots of depth and weird little niche mechanics you will only find by accident.

Anonymage 07/15/26 (Wed) 13:49:24 No.63604

in 2009 DF was significantly responsible for me having to repeat one course for my final year of study, and the only game I have ever played 28 hours without interruption.

Sadly that world lost compatibility several updates ago and I lost the attachment to the game I once had.

Fun :tm: things i've done:

100 z layer tower built up from a 30z level map wide aquifer
Tropical island using a water elevator to cap off a volcano and build out stilted houses
Polar Bear based economy in the frozen biome with no stone

Factorio took over that particular brain bee for me, but DF was fun to be in for a long long time.

Anonymage 07/20/26 (Mon) 10:42:54 No.63622

interesting repplies. For me DF was boring from the moment I found out that you could just make a bridge and it would stop literally every enemy. theres no challenge whatsoever, buring dwarfs manually is annoying, the building and designing a base is boring and ugly, you can make perpetuum mobile from the watermills or whatever. So I dont like it.
