world of warcraft is extremely fun, why do people seem to hate it?

>>59345
Trash after vanilla

>>59346
it's literally the same formula, it's just that the tech is better and there is actually challenging content now

>>59342
it's bait my man, crabs love being contrarian

>>59345
Because its woke trash

>>59368
Grinding is shit. What language is that?that?

If the gameplay is enjoyable by itself then it's fine.

In other games there's a whole aspect of optimizing/automatizing the grind as much as possible and that is also a lot of fun.

>>59377
thumbnail shows EN/ID SUB. i'm guessing indonesian

>grinding
learn some shit

>>59383
Classic grind story.

>>59351
I'm too busy on fightcade. Modern fighting games are okay.

>>59354
>if Quake is so good then why is it dead

because Quake 2 is better

>>59352
fake outrage trying to stir up drama again, back to kotakuinaction with you wild crab

>>59355
That conflicts pretty heavily with my personal experience playing on pc.
It was exceptionally rare for me to come across someone cheating in elden ring online when I did pvp.

>>59358
Everything I typed is true.

>>59361
wtf psp? that shit is like 15 years old how can it run minecraft? i remember i had a netbook from 2009 that could barely run the original minecraft alpha. how is that possible

>>59364
it's a little buggy and it's limited to a little over 100 blocks in any direction, it uses a homebrew lamecraft but adds all the mechanics/recipes of regular minecraft
it's enjoyable because it seems like there's an end to your harvesting the environment at least as far as ores go, not sure what will come from my playthrough in these limitations
I'm using a random version I found online which is minecraft 3.0 https://archive.org/details/psp-minecraft.-7z

>>59365
very neat

so is this homebrew type shit or?

Pokemon Blaze Black 2 Redux (romhack)
looks and plays a lot better than the sluggish platinum.
it's a shame they ditched the sprites with the 3DS games

I've never actually played Yiik. But I think once Yiik IV comes out, I will.

I don't recommend it unless you can mod it to run off an SSD or flash drive, the GD-ROM laser dies quickly. Not sure why you'd ever sell a PS2 tho (assuming it's modded), you can never run out of games for that system, unless you're one of those normalfags who only plays sports and shooting games or w/e

Shenmue was a game I wanted to play for over a decade.
From game magazines to footage to reviews, it looked right up my alley.
Then I finally got a emulator and played it.
Boy was I disappointed. It just wasn't fun to me. Not even a little bit, not once.
Maybe it's because games have come a long way or because I played games that did what it did but better in every way first, but god what a let down when I finally got my hands on it.

That said a ton of other Dreamcast games lived up to the hype and were fantastic.
Makes me sad that Sega isn't even close to a major player as a developer and publisher anymore.
Now they are very mid in the industry and a bit too reliant on nostalgia and Sonic fanboys.

>>59306
it's cool how sega was spawned from ww2 literally milking american veterans of their money with coin slot machines stationed in japan. from the time of that to when they released sega genesis, that is the same amount of time from when sega genesis was relased to now. time is crazy

>>59306
Shenmue was never fun, it had the novelty of being some kind of realistic sims like/walking simulator, people like was "whoa" because you could live inside the game, but the gameplay itself is boring as shit.

You should play D2. It's a great horror game. Sorta like an FPS/RPG hybrid.

>>59325
Pirating is simple enough.

>>59325
>not knowing about pirating in 2023
how the fuck?

>>59325
I see you still have your wits about you. Will you cough up 30 souls? or go through PPU-compile hell? These are the choices left for the living, hah hah hah…

>>59328
look up dark souls on fitgirl

>>59348
nice witch pic, i saved it.

There are a few games that I feel like I'm always able to play, or that keep getting "rehashed."

E.g., SimCity. SimCity became SC 2k, 3k, SC 4, City Skylines, etc.. But for me, I don't really see the difference, so I can keep playing SC, and I always feel willing to pick it up.

Civ2 is another one. Yeah, they're up to Civ6 or 7 or whatever, but I remembering playing Civ3 and even Civ4 and thinking, "I don't really see the difference." And always kept playing Civ2. I do the same whenever I see any other 4X game.

Harvest Moon. Yeah, there's Harvest Moon: Whatever and its million titles. Yeah, there's Stardew Valley. But again, I don't really see the difference, so I kept playing Harvest Moon.

Morrowind, like I mentioned, might be different. There's so many mods and the game is so broken in such a fun way that I can play it forever. Yeah, there's Skyrim or Oblivion or even Fallout 3–but all those Bethesda games are so similar that I'm fine just playing Morrowind more.

Zelda a Link to the Past is another one. The whole "find the item to progress to get the next item" theme, especially with the randomizer, fits that itch for me. So when I played Zelda OOT or Skyward Sword or cetera, I just kind of felt like, "I've already played this game," and just kept replaying SNES Zelda instead.

Any new Metroidvania game just makes me want to go back and play the SNES Metroid instead.

If I feel like a platformer, just basic-ass NES Mario is fine for me. If I play any other 2D platformer, I just end up thinking/feeling, "I've already played this game," and lose interest and play NES Mario for a while again instead.

When I see a grand strategy game like EU4 or HOI4 or Viccy, I end up thinking, "This feels a lot like RotTK4," and I just end up replaying that over and over again instead.

Minecraft fits the same theme I'm talking about here. Then again, Minecraft doesn't have an "ending".

Last night I finished Kings Field 4. Compared to the previous games the biggest improvement is the sound and music, and the curiosity of what you might see or hear next keeps you going. I played at a relaxed pace and completed the game (including the optional stuff) in 20 hours, so it's relatively short. I would recommend it

>>59318
that looks way better than the first one on ps1. thats all i played. how are the controls?

>>59318
I remember dying in the first 5 seconds of that game. Fell right into the lava pit at the beginning because I didn't see it. Made me laugh.

I've never been able to force myself to play it properly though. Maybe a few hours at most. It just feels too "slow" for me, and I do enjoy janky old games more than modern stuff so it's definitely not that. Grats on finishing it

>>59319
The controls are the same, but turning speed is slower than the previous games

>>59320
I can understand that. The opening hours of the game are among the most challenging as you have no weapons and no health, and thanks

SaGa
Metal Max

they give you more freedom than most jrpgs i can think of

>>59050
pathologic 2, no more heroes

>>59259
I don't know if those count as RPG, good games though

Kingdom come: deliverance.

I really enjoyed the game hybrid heaven.
It's unlike anything else I have ever played and one of the very few jrpg I have actually played all the way through to completion.

I would've actually had respect for Mass Effect's narrative if the indoctrination thing were canon. That would've made the strawberry flavor of playstyle all the more badass. I don't get why it's not. It fits with the lore perfectly. That's the entire reason as to why the spectre of the first game went insane.

>>59249
which one you talking about? i played the first one recently, and that's it so far, but i dont get what you're talking about.

>>59297
Throughout the series, they constantly push this idea that Reapers slowly indoctrinate anyone in contact with them. Some become babbling lunatics while others, like Saren, are still given a large degree of autonomy because they can better aid the Reapers that way. From what I recall, they never formally explain why Shepard is immune. That largely caused fans to speculate about the trippy endings of the third game and ironically begin to believe that the Renegade ending was the true one because it's the only ending where the Reapers are annihilated, while the other two are about coexisting with the Reapers.
Of course, it was fans just seeing more to the story than there truly was. It wouldn't necessarily have been a shocking twist, but it certainly would've added a lot to the plot that Shepard was being controlled and progressively hallucinating more and more that he/she was successfully saving the galaxy (while actually accomplishing the direct opposite and doing exactly what the Reapers wanted him/her to do).
The endings kinda suck without utilizing that important plot point, but I guess it's less of a letdown if you treat the entire third game as the climax to the series. They tried to append the disappointment with a shittier slideshow than what you'd find on Fallout (which I think are quite good because they vary wildly and thoroughly explore what happens to all the different factions after the game is completed, which is not how it went with Mass Effect 3's newer endings).

I don't know, I just think it would've been poetic that Shepard fights so strongly against the same threat that Saren succumbed to, then potentially also succumbs to that same force. I think it would make a lot of sense, considering that the impetus for Shepard's rise into the Spectres was largely in response to Saren's treasonous actions. Time is a flat circle and all that.

>>59298
maybe it's those artifact things he interacted with in the first. saren also interacted with them and they both are able to interact with reapers somewhat

need to play more but im still butthurt about mass effect 2 being a lame cover shooter instead fo the wacky rpg shooter like the first
