is there a steam group? do you have a link to it please?

Never played this game but I have listened to the OST on and off for like a decade.

Seek out the Active NEOTOKYO Players Steam group. It may be of use to you.

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ANPA

Games may go on on Fridays, but no promises. The game can at least be played on default and High settings assuming a Windows machine. Linux distros depend, but should be fine.

hi TS2

>>63587
is there a wizchan steam group??

>>61517
not a fan of fart fetish, huh? I see

>>54396
if it makes you feel any better, they're only calling your voice retarded to try and get a rise out of you because they're absolutely seething. It's very transparent what they're doing.

i had to enunciate fucking everything before

>>58887
I wouldn't give a fat fuck what this bitch liked as far as a Voice, you should've called her some troglodyte bimbo trying to be a 10

Love Yourself Nigga

op here have a gf / full time bartender job now and moved country to live with her (northen ireland) crazy what 5 years can do

Being in control of a whole colony stresses me. I'm ashamed of my failure.

It's been many years since I played. The last big update I remember is the addition of taverns, guilds and music instruments.

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.

>>63579
dunno, thats pretty autistic. how do you integret that in a rpgmaker game?

>>63580
Ok well. the models are posed and sometimes edited to become portraits for bosses, enemies, ect. I can make a model and from it create several different enemy variants. here the second two pictures are optional "secret" things you can find (this one is easy to find but others will be more obscure). I chose ponies as the magic and differences between them and other quadrupedal species can be interesting. there are no "furry" things like human bodies with animal heads, I find that disturbing honestly. The story boiled down to the most basic is ponies (good) fighting monsters and ancient evils of many sorts. I've written alot of convoluted lore for many things but overall very simple game to play, at the start you will pick one of four 'alicorn' (winged unicorn) to have as your special character. it will unlock special interactions with the world. each can use different equipment and all have different followers. it will really just be a dungeon crawler with fancy paint at the end of the day.

>>63581
sounds like a good idea which could work and be a successful if you happen to release the game

>>63582
I hope to release it one day. but I only have the first 2 areas made and the tier 1 weapons. those are fun to make. little minecraft-like pixel art weapons

>>63583
good luck, wizard

>>63551
With the current state of gaming, all a studio would need to do to earn praise from real gamers would be release a game with a female character who isn't a fat negro succuboss, or a male main character who isn't a goofy try-hard who gets spoken down to by said succubosses.

>I loved Mirror's edge, Catalyst is a Unfinished game.
I liked Mirror's edge aesthetic.
Frutiger Aero or Y2K, pure art and time capsule game.
I like the philosophy of faith aesthethic of making she beatiful and in some way cute but with a logical way with a working image for her world sense. Not sexualized but focused in play and charisma and colors of her image.

Am agreeing with all this a lot even though I've had fun replaying HL1 several times lately. But I really mean everything from We've Got Hostiles onward (I happen to not hate Xen), and even so it's gotta be nostalgia goggles since this was one of my favorite things ever as a kid.

Pretty slow to start and really goofy sometimes, partly because of how badly it's been memed but also quite a few setpieces meant to be scary or cool are actually pretty retarded if you think about them at all, or just witnessing them. Freeman's Mind was particularly good at skewering HL1, watch it if you're interested in that!

Borderlands is extremely horrifically overrated. That game sucked ass

>>63560
It's a miracle that it even manage to become a big name franchises.

>>63541
They're going to remake it, along with the sequel. I think the games have a lot of soul, but yeah, they haven't aged well.

>>63541
This game only got popular thanks to The Matrix. That movie franchises was really popular in the early 2000s and hooked people on the bullet time thing. Max Payne was the closes thing to a good Matrix game. The actual Matrix games were far worse.

I've been playin Fatal Frame. I'm still on the third night, but I've loved the game so far. The puzzles are simple yet enjoyable. The atmosphere is great, and the ghost designs are really unsettling. I was going to say the game is easy, but the end of the second night and the introduction of the Wandering Monk on the third night have given me a headache.

>>63545
The concept of 'aging well' is retarded. You have a game, a product of it's time with all the good and the bad it entails and you want to rob it for the sake of normalscum
who can't be bothered to play anything that isn't 'modern'? Remakes with dumbed down gameplay, full of niggers and faggots are cancer.

>Remakes with dumbed down gameplay, full of niggers and faggots are cancer.
nothing suggest that the remake will be one of those. All Max Payne needs is being updated to work on modern system without hassles, HD graphics and rebalanced level design.

I always see Call of Juarez on sale on Steam, and I remember this game from back in the day, so I figured I'd play it.
Honestly a so-so experience. It's essentially a first person shooter, with some curveballs thrown into the mix.
You play as two characters, Reverend Ray (a priest obviously) and Billy Candle (a young man on the run). Every chapter you alternate between these two characters. Ray is tanky gunslinger priest (who even wears a steel breastplate) while Billy is a more agile stealth based character. All the Ray chapters are hectic shoot outs, while the Billy chapters try to switch it up with stealth and platforming sections.
The stealth is the classic tedious trial and error kind, but the sections are mercifully short and this game has quicksaves so it's just about bearable. The platforming sections are okay. I didn't mind them, but reading reviews for this game other people hated these chapters and I can totally see that.
This game was an early 7th gen title and it shows. A lot of the levels are open yet linear; like a straight tunnel that's just extremely wide (metaphorically, the actual environment mostly consists of open plains and mountains, etc.) There's a level in particular were an Indian (feather not dot) tells you to collect 3 rabbits, and you just end up riding around in this huge open space for a while. Story wise, that chapter follows are really hectic action set piece so I understand they wanted to put in a quieter beat, but this also feels like it was put in to show everyone "look, we can do large, seamless open environments with no loading screens and long draw distance, next-gen baby!". You're even tasked with climbing a mountain in this level. A real sort of proto Skyrim "see that mountain, you can climb it" type of moment. Incidentally, it was also my favorite level. Climbing a mountain just felt much more unique to me than the rest of the game which is a pretty mediocre shooter.
In line with the early 7th gen feel, this game tries to do a little bit of everything, while doing it all poorly. There's objects you can pick up, but there's never any use. There's a couple sections where you can fill up buckets and put out fires. You can use a whip to swing from trees during the platforming sections, but it's clunky -basically "look at our physics engine" type of stuff, that's all pretty poorly implemented.
Gun variety is mediocre. Couple of six-shooters as you would expect from a cowboy game, which havePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I just finished Michael Jackson's Moonwalker on Arcade and on SEGA Mega Drive, still looking forward to getting a 1CC on the former and finishing the latter on Normal and Hard, as I could only do them with infinite credits and on Easy respectively, also want to give the SEGA Master System port a try as I absolutely love that console.

Decided to give Hitman Blood Money a go for old times sake. Doesn't hold up as well as I thought.
My main gripe with it, is that I just don't think the missions are well-designed. For example, on the mission where you're in a suburb the guy you're tasked with killing is inside a house protected by FBI agents. Now to get inside that house the game provides you with ample choice.
You can knock out a clown and steal his disguise, or a catering guy, or a garbage man, or you can sneak around back by sedating the dog in the backyard. Even here there's choice because you can find something to sedate the dog in a nearby house or shoot it from a treehouse a house over. Sounds great right? Tons of agency, player choice, what more do you want. Well, the problem is that you can also acquire a FBI disguise right at the beginning of the mission, very easily in fact, which allows you to go anywhere you want, so there's absolutely no use for any of the other options.
In the second mission, you have to kill two dudes in an opera house. Right at the beginning of the mission one target goes on stage for rehearsal and the other target sits in a balcony and watches. What I found out, is that you can just shoot the opera singer target in the head with a silenced pistol, and throw a remote controlled mine up at the balcony and take out the other target. This way it took me literally under two minutes to finish the mission.
Now I suppose the intent is that you replay the missions, explore the environment, try different methods, get a higher ranking, etc. but to frank that's not something I care for at this stage in my gaming career. So you're just left with pretty dull and straightforward mission in what should be a very choice-laden game.
The game also doesn't really allow you to figure things out in a natural way. During the Mardi Grass level you start off in a hotel; in one of the rooms there's a guy in a crow costume which is something you need. In that room there's two succubi dancing. So what do you do? You can't distract them, so you just kind of awkwardly shoot them all and hope nobody hears, or go find some other avenue of approach.
I did exactly that, found one of my targets just wandering around a back alley, and killer her. Then I heard a guy on a walkie talkie say, that he was in "position" (the mission revolves around you preventing a political assassination). So, I went to where he said he was and easily killed him as well. Then I got tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I played through Prey (2017). To be honest, this isn't my first attempt; I gave up on it a few years ago—I just got lost among all the options and the game's many systems, and deleted it after three hours. A lot depends on how you approach the game and what you expect from it. I thought—because I was misled—that this would be a Bioshock-style game set in space. While there are similarities, this game is first and foremost a completely unique immersive sim; if it can be compared to anything, it’s naturally the System Shock games.So my first attempt at the game was a failure; I ended up soft-locking myself. Now, years later, when I jumped back into it for the second time—more experienced and with a clearer head—it was a completely different experience from the very first moment. I approached it smartly, methodically, and tactically. And it was a completely different experience. I can say that the game completely hooked me within 15 hours.The game is beautiful; the developers have poured incredible energy into the environment, the storytelling, and the various connections between elements. Every day feels meaningful—even the story of the last NPC to die is woven into the narrative somewhere. It’s rare to come across a game into which the developers have poured so much energy and love.

>Hitman blood money
The fun thing is killing mission people like a ghost or by accidents (max points and sometimes hard), go full postal or rambo, killing by background or explosions or put venon in things and using the sniper rifle in some places (you can upgrade more and more this weapon as you get unlocks by perfect points in missions same with other weapons) and collecting the weapons or trying exploits.
Or killing every one in map if you can.
Getting the routine of npc or doing every thing perfect at time feels too good like 47 was like a killer god or a paranornal dude (he was a experiment after all)
The news paper at end of missions is very funny.
Here 47 feels like a professional killer and not like a super spy in a film with batman vision like late games.
But yes, each level is too much rigid in structure at times. The house with the fbi van was one used for demo and in short have a lot of ways to play it even without costumes. Its very fast to do.
Some maps are damn big and take more study of npc actions or even minutes to complete. Its very realistic at this and i like the details of maps bacause are in a lot of ways real life places or situations. Some ways to enter or exit or even kill are more slow or fast or even more hard or safe.
Mods and exploits make everything more fun.

I switched to linux specifically to play games, you have options now so you can ditch windows.
You have Bazzite if you're not technical
And there's CachyOS and Nobara Linux
I use Nobara because I found out about it before CachyOS

As of right now most games play great thanks to proton and bottles, whatever doesn't I just add as a non steam game and try again, it's how I got FF7 rebirth to work.

Currently playing:
KCD 2 no problems.
Stalker 2 did not run as I hoped so Ill wait a bit and try and figure out what combination of settings can help me run it better.
Even Res Evil 9 ran great.

If you can only play 15+ year old games on Linux, then why not just use an old version of Windows to play those old games and not deal with all the hoops and compatibility workarounds? It seems that to pirate Windows 7 and install a pirated game from a mounted ISO has fewer steps to follow than just getting many games to run on an already installed Linux distro. The performance, accuracy, and stability is most definitely going to be more stable on that Windows machine too.

I can play Diablo by using devilutionx. it's just issuing devilutionx command in my term

is linux gaming even a thing anymore? I can literally play everything without issue. The only stuff you can't play are the rootkit cheat prevention games that you shouldn't be playing anyway.

Recently I've been playing a bunch of the 2000s nihon falcom games like Xanadu Next. Really love it

love the ost

The only workaround I've ever needed to do was like go on proton db and run whatever console command they have listed (on really weird/old games). It's shockingly painless even when I'm using an nvidia gpu now. Using cachy os, I literally did 0 manual setup for nvidia gpu and didn't install any drivers it just all automatically worked.

I especially love how I can use the PSP/PS3's XMB as a hub for all of my ROMs, so cozy.

that's a cool button
