>they cant make a soulslike without jumping now, it would be a downgrade.
DS1 had jumping

I bet they had the idea on making nightreign after some created seemless coop on elden ring

>>62258
yeah it seems that the game is just fan service for /dsg/, it's like an official Nexus mod.

>>62259
this is one of the worst froms idea ever according to me. maybe the game will be a success who knows

ER is coming to switch 2 lmo

Thank God I waited until Robocop Rogue City was less than a tenner, though even that was a bit too pricey for an incredibly bog-standard fps with handful of maps intersped with a few hub-maps and a couple of novel gimmicks like the ricochet shot and robocop marking enemies like in the film. The AI is retarded, enemies stand out in the open while you blast them and does not improve as you go through the game, so it's basically like a shooting gallery.

When you're not shooting people you're walking on foot to talk to people and issue parking tickets with tedious A-to-B sidequests.

The story was like an episode of a robocop cartoon, just constant referencing of the original two robocops, ridiculously blunt "satire" that makes you appreciate how well the over-the-top satire was done in the original film, cheap voice acting with many of the npcs voiced by a handful of people. Peter Weller gives the appropriate amount of effort for this.

It's not a bad game, just a low-budget one with a license. Modern day "gamers" are retards giving this 8s and 9s are out of their mind, this game is 5/10 which is an okay score because scores don't start at 7/10. If this game came out 10-15 years, it would warrant a higher score.

I agree with you on the rating inflation thing.
It's one of the reasons I prefer a "out of 5" scale for ratings with effort, and simple thumbs up thumbs down for low effort normies.

Because of gaming media being payed to inflate reviews, for most sites and review aggregators 7 is actually average and anything 5 and below is differing degrees of garbage.
So they functionally already have a 5 point scale.

Then again I fully admit I am very bias because I grew up watching X-Play as my primary source of game reviews during my formative years. They used a "out of 5" scale.

Played through one of the endings of MiSide

It's more feels than thrills for me.
For a horror game, besides a few jumpscares, most of the "horror" was just really sad. Like emotionally sad, not sad as in I was disappointed.
It's really good, but as with most of these types of games, I REALLY wish the movement speed was faster or I could run all the time instead of just scripted segments, because slow walk speed is and will always be something that irritates me.

It's frankly unbelievable that just 2 dudes pulled this game off. It's really well done, well polished, and unlike most horror games I have played, I didn't run into a single unintented glitch or bug meaning it's really well polished.

Oh, and for those wondering if it has any "adult content", the answer is no. Which actually relates to the subtext of certain aspects of the game as well as the themes in the plot.

Now to play it two more times to see the other endings and unlock more stuff.

Finally finished XCOM: Enemy Within after more than ten years since I first played the game. It's a very immersive and fun experience if you have a taste for it. There is a fatal flaw in the gameplay if you're not the patient type, and at the same time, if you're a bit of a perfectionist as well. This is a turn-based game that rewards caution above everything else. If you're going to roleplay in this game like I did, treating it as if you have actual human lives in your hands, you'll take great care of your soldiers. This means moving through the battlefield becomes almost a surgical procedure, at least it did for me. You'll be practically crawling through the stages in most battles because it's always better to let the enemy come to you rather than to meet the enemy head-on. Ambush is the name of the game if you want your soldiers to survive to the end. Kiting is also an incredibly useful tactic. Ambushing and kiting in a turn-based game can become an excruciatingly slow experience, and this is how you'll end up playing it if you don't treat your units as expendable.

On howlongtobeat.com, it says it takes about 27 hours to finish on average, and 50 for a completionist. Well, it took me about 50+ hours, probably, and I didn't even go for a completionist run. For example, I didn't build a cybernetics lab, where you can augment your units with cyborg parts. By the end, I had lost one unit and two rookies during that particularly nasty mission. The way they died was pretty cool, though, so I caved. I wasn't save scumming, but I was saving at the beginning of every mission and had to restart a few of them.

Anyway, it was a pretty fun experience finishing the game this time. I remember it being more difficult than it really is. I played on normal otherwise this would have taken an eternity to finish the way I like to play. The only part I didn't like was the final mission. Like I said, this game rewards patience and procedure. It mostly works during normal missions because the maps are not that large. The last one is a huge labyrinthine hell, though, and it takes forever to get across it. So much so that I switched to easy just to get through the next encounters faster. The ending is pretty good, too. I'm on the fence about psionics in this game. The atmosphere becomes a little goofy once you have units behaving like the X-Men, but I think it's a feature of the series since the beginning. At least I remember psionics in X-COM: Apocalypse (a muPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

a game about digging a hole

!00%ed it.

Pretty short and very simple, yet honistly kinda enjoyable for what it is.
That said I don't think you get your money's/download's worth unless you aim to 100% it. A single normal playthrough takes around 45 minutes to a hour. Maybe more if you want a very wide hole. So if you play it as a one and done then yeah, it would be underwhelming.
But because a plathrough is short it doesn't feel annoying to achievement hunt after the first playthrough.
Overall I enjoyed my time with the game.
Ain't revolutionary, ain't the next AAA killer, or anything of the sort.
It's just a simple game about a simple concept executed well for a bit of fun for a few hours.

I started using my wii again a couple of days ago. Currently I'm playing Mario Kart CTGP-R and replaying a wiiware game called Hydroventure (got it when I was younger but never got around to finishing it). After I'm done with that I plan on trying out Jett Rocket and possibly some Pikmin 2 romhacks.

I'm playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It's one of my favorite games and I've never actually finished it.

Started FF XVI. It recently became possible to pirate on PC because Denuvo was removed.

The beginning is insanely good. Seems like the first good FF in generations.

>It's one of my favorite games and I've never actually finished it.
same
the difficulty increases and the perfectionist in me would get frustrated that I no longer get perfect scores
Have you played XCOM 2? I find the original simpler, and more fun that way. Also something warm and cozy about the graphics, but that's probably just my nostalgia.

>>62311
I did when it came out but didn't finish it. Don't remember much of it to be honest. I have a similar problem, I can't stomach losing any units so I save at the beginning of every mission. Granted, once you can build mechs it doesn't really matter, I just send the machinery ahead and wipe out everything.

iirc it was a mercy kill because she was terminally ill, but he still felt remorse afterwards

I've only played the room but I stopped playing after encountering those dogs with the suckers

>Did the game you've played was scary or not?

>>62274
was silent hill scary?

>>62100
only silent hill 3 does

>>62292
which one are your favorites? i would love to see you rank the ones you played from least favorite to most favorite.

>>62294
>from least favorite to most favorite from ones I played
>Europa Universalis
I just hate the mana as a concept, I find the events to be absurd and I only play it when I play a megacampaign
>Imperator:Rome
it has fine mechanics with the exeption of families and family holdings, but it is pretty much impossible to play tall. Also, the AI Rome always does the worst bordergore- I've never seen them conquer mainland Carthage (Or any medium-large southern state) but they often conquer beyond Rhine and Danube
>Hearts or Iron IV
love the production and division autism. Fighting is ok. I could even stomach national focuses, but the problem is boredom during peacetime. I know this is a war game, but there is almost literally nothing to do before war starts but wait. Also, the fact that 1/4 of the mechanics is tied to DLCs is scummy
>Darkest Hour
iirc correctly it is modified version of Hoi2. It is the definition of simple but fun. It as more tech (up to 1960s) than Hoi4. Same probelm with peacetime. Fewer provinces means that that it feels too much like a boardgame than a simulation.
>Crusader Kings 2
I think I'm the most familiar with this one, as I have over 600 hours in and still haven't played 10% of all content. The main problems are too much time (almost 700 years long campaign with earliest start) and all-or-nothing type of gameplay. Both of those things mean thta when you accomplish your goals you just wait till the end date, as playing suboptimal means losing all progress to some AI character, and they run player kingdoms to the ground. I also think that mechanics fail to represnt the period faithfully, especially earlier dates.
>Victoria II
When it comes to the gameplay, I like the idea that a lot of things are controlled indirectly, in contrast to previous games. It is closest to a "simulation" a paradox game have come to. Time period is both good and bad- industrialization is fun, but the political landscape means Europe looks the same every game unless something crazy happens like Bavaria becoming a Great Power. I would also change some aspects of RGOs and goods, as the way it is handled in the game Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Can anyone tell me why Ocarina of Time is so popular? I've never played it in the 90s, I have only tried it couple of years ago and I thought it's pretty boring and extremely ugly (everything is puke green and brown, faces are ugly). I am genuinely curious. Is it because I haven't played it back in the time it was popular so it's charm is lost on me as my standards toward games are much higher?

>>62305
did u play on some lousy emulator with your keyboard?

ur supposed to play on RMG with paraLLEl RDP plugin with a proper controller with vibrate support like 8bitdo 64 (tho any other gamepad would be passable too, just map yellow C buttons to right analog), and try to beat at least the first boss, and it has to be ROM version 1.1, NOT 1.2 (or the GCN or VC/Switch ports), they ruined the music and censored the game in those

Just what a wizard needs

what game should I play? I've never played a MH? also is hunting horn good, it'sa weapon I really want to try

>>62287
My friend played through monster hunter world with the hunting horn.
Though I assume it's more of a group play weapon.
I'm trying to get into world again, but it's probably the most boring of the recent ones from what I have heard.

yea you're gonna wanna avoid wilds.
it's so easy i only fainted 3 times maybe 2 and made it to HR 50 or something before i quit.
it's below a phone game mechanically it's for succubi or something.
it's also like 10% of the content of freedom unite or 4u which should be evident since i got hr 50 in like 3 days it just came out lol.
also the ugly npc's talk literally nonstop like they never stop talking they interrupt your gameplay to talk. and do that RDR thing where they make you get on a mount and slowly walk somewhere so they can talk at you. mh fell for the cinematic movie game psyop

>>62287
freedom unite and 4u are the only ones worth playing, world i know a japanese guy who bought it as a joke and just laughed at the ugly wire bug handhold trash then returned it to the store.

gay anime animations and this forced vertical gameplay where youre constantly batman grappling everything isnt good combat flow, this shit chart made by a zoomer

Can someone recommend me some nice minecraft servers to play? I have pirated version (PollyMC like anon from here recommended)

>>62180
Creative mode is like playing with Legos. Survival mode is nice because you try to survive, explore and you never know what will happen. It's a nice feeling of freedom.

>>62180
it's strategy. following step by step every needed requirement without dying until kiling the dragon or the wither. It's planning but also being patient…

Quite annoying quests. Even more patience is needed after the updates, but mods help quite a bit. If mods were professionally taken care of by Mojang, they could outclass every other single genre of game: it can imitate any.

I can barely find any lapis lazuli. They are rarer than diamonds.

>>62281
aahhh, yeah. That worst than stupid update…

>>62278
Pikanetwork, Jartexnetwork, you might have fun on UltimisMC

>>60468
All the expansions cost premium currency. They might bundle some in the free package (I thought the barebones game was already free so I would expect them to), but they definitely won't give you the newest content for free. I think subscription is only $5/mo and you get a small stipend of the currency every month. Another bad thing for F2P is that you have storage caps on all materials. I don't know how harsh they are, but I presume they're very limiting.

Little tip: search for steam on google and click on news, there is always a new about a game being given away for free

New game from the dev of Baba is You is free to claim until Wednesday

https://hempuli.itch.io/mobile-suit-baba

It's a hybrid of Baba and Into the Breach. Played about 10 levels and it's pretty fun so far

Why not? Marvel Rivals is F2P and fun.

F2P doesn't count and isn't what this thread is about.

>having a tantrum over minecrap music

I still play 1.16, I also have 1.19 but i don't like the new map generation so much and copper is pointless

I also replaced and expanded all of the music with stuff like fearofdark and xyce, I like the old soundtrack but it gets repetitive

>>62250
My nigga have you never listened to any of the original music or are you just that fucking dense.
