They had the audacity to show a Borderlands 4 teaser trailer after the movie with the centenarian jew-mutt cast flopped hard. Professional fart-huffer Peter Molyneux is desperately clinging to his Legacy and releasing a new god game for moms with a Fable veneer on top. There is another nondescript Call of Duty announced. Uh, The First Berserker looks mildly interesting. PS5 is making a cute Animal Crossing clone called Floatopia.

Humble has a 30USD Resident Evil steam key bundle that "contains every entry", meaning no OG RE1/2/3 (to be fair, they don't have a steam release) and I think it has original RE4 instead of the remake. It also has the Revelations kusoge. Only games I like out of the pack are RE1 HD and RE0, but maybe someone is interested in getting all the new ones (except RE4 remake) cheap.

It's absurd how bad some of the Command and Conquer games run natively on current generation hardware/OS.

C & C Remastered works fine (now, but I remember it being a choppy mess at release)

Red Alert 2 was unplayable without a third-party patch (works fine on my Steam Deck fwiw-just my much more powerful Windows pc it would have huge framerate drops until I did some sleuthing in the forums)

Tiberian Sun series is unplayable; it runs just as bad-maybe worse-than it did 20+ years ago on my eMachines pc at the time.

How the FRICK is this possible? I never got to play Tiberian Sun back in the day (I played it, suffering through 5fps as long as I could stand, mind) and now it looks like I might not ever get to heh

Playing Icewind Dale rn
I never had the patience to learn how to play it in the past-and even still with access to the 400 page manual certain important things remain cryptic for now (how tf do I bind my mage's spell to her hot bar ffs)-but I've managed to make it to the second town which is much further than I'd expected to get heh

I don't think it says anything about how memorizing spell scrolls can fail, in game or out, for example. At least not in a specific way

Cleared a cave called Discotheque on Pikmin 4 today. The boss was a real cocksmoker. It's basically a rave party Long Legs-class boss. It has a strobe light body that changes colors as it shifts between phases. It starts out blue, then changes colors after enough damage (pink -> yellow -> red) and it plays dance music. It also periodically spews gas out that charms pikmin to dance beneath it (whistling doesn't free them) and speeds up with every phase. It's weird, though. You could just attack it a bit, stay out of range for a bit and it will reset to the starting phase retaining damage. Wonder how much of a bastard this guy is on a speedrun, because I really didn't like fighting it during yellow and red phases. The choice of colors for the phases is also misleading. The cave recommends taking red and yellow pikmin before entering and you can turn 10 of them into fairy pikmin over the course of the cave. I got all my fairy pikmin charmed on my first attempt because I thought pink lights means they're immune to the gas during that phase. I tried off-color pikmin depending on the strobe colors too. It's entirely arbitrary. Bit of a stupid design choice in my opinion.

Back in the day "savescumming" wasn't considered cheating. It was just what you do. Don't feel bad about it.

Cheesing the game mechanics is also valid. For example you can stack your wizard with fireballs, lightning bolts, and cones of cold, and then send him into a room, nuke all the enemies, and then rest to regain the spells. Rinse and repeat. It sounds stupid but tbh that's the way some real dnd games go too LOL.

Casters in 2e are more role specific. They aren't suppose to hit things, although clerics can do it in a pinch. They are suppose to cast spells, and when those spells are gone, they stand back and do nothing.

Clerics heal and buff.
Wizards shoot fireballs.
Thieves unlock doors and disarm traps.
Fighters/Paladins mop up after the wizard nukes the room.

Multiclassing fighter with your caster makes them more versatile but you lose access to the better spells, which is the whole reason your brought a caster.

 No.86448

It's extremely easy if you know how to cheese it, but likely much harder for people who don't know. Also as a side note, I never understood people who play meta builds in actual DND. Seems autistic as fuck. Smashing through campaigns isn't really the point of pen and paper RPGs. It's more like an acceptable form of playing make-believe for adults, like when kids would raid the closet and pretend to be pirates or cowboys or whatever.

>Multiclassing fighter with your caster makes them more versatile but you lose access to the better spells, which is the whole reason your brought a caster.
You don't really lose access to better spells, it just takes longer to level up IIRC, which can be mitigated by running a leaner party in IWD. The casters are going to almost entirely be dead-weight for the first couple of levels, so from a "meta-gaming" perspective running a full party with pure casters is kind of a trap.

A lot of people, especially those coming to tabletop gaming from a video game background, can't wrap their head around roleplaying. They see rpgs as being like jrpgs, complex battle systems involving number crunching and fighting monsters and getting exp, rather than the systems being there to facilitate roleplaying in a make believe world.

Blame final fantasy I guess.

>>86451
There is a finite pool of exp in any game, and icewind dale in particular. I don't believe the enemies respawn so it's not like you can grind them to level up higher if you gimp yourself. First level casters are absolutely useless yes, but the first few areas of icewind dale (and any rpg tbh) are pretty easy and you can make do.

>running a full party with pure casters is kind of a trap

Sure, but you're suppose to have a diverse party. Standard rpg stuff. A cleric to heal, a fighter or a barb to tank, a wizard to nuke, a thief to open doors, that sort of thing. At earlier levels the physical classes like fighter dominate but later on the casters outclass them by orders of magnitude. It isn't balanced in the slightest but that's dnd for you.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but the disparity feels more drastic than IWD2 and 3E. Even pure rogues have shitty THAC0 for some god-forsaken reason. Not min-maxing is based, but it's rough when little Timmy is going in blind. Tangentially related, but it's funny that a lot of people seemed to have a similar issue with Morrowind as a kid.

You're right, that's true. Grinding those feels like an exploit though tbh. Although I'd also say resting every room for 8 hours feels like an exploit (and is massively immersion breaking) but that's just kinda what you do in dnd so...

>but it's rough when little Timmy is going in blind


An unfortunate thing about most dnd games, with the possible exception of neverwinter nights 2, is that they assume you're already familiar with the system to some extent I think. There's very little handholding to explain the mechanics. I bet not-hdv had to look up that lower armor class is better in 2e for example. It isn't intuitive.

When most kids picked up morrowind, they went into that cave outside of sneedna neen (basically the tutorial dungeon) and tried punching the bandits with a dagger, and got killed after seeing MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS appear on the screen 40 times. It's a good game but that sort of shit is just bad game design, and turns people off the game before they've even gotten started.

I think the DLC was sold like a season pass deal originally. You only paid once for staggered content in two installments, as far as I recall. It was called "Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" and the first installment was "Teal Mask" with second being "Indigo Disk", releasing a few months apart.

Just spent a bunch of time comparing price histories of AAA games released around the same time and I guess Nintendo actually isn't that far off not only from other Japanese publishers, but Western ones too. I just usually buy a bunch of shit on sale or off Humble, so the $110 for the game and two DLC felt more shocking than it should have. Still jewish, but I guess the entire industry is and I just forgot due to changing purchasing habits a long time ago.

Crystal Clear is an open-world hack where you can start in any town I think. Also have like 24 different starters to choose from. What sucks is the fags who made it jammed original donut steal characters and nigger trannies into it, too. I think the image from >>87240 is a screenshot of it. Looks similar at least.

Radical Red for FireRed is probably the most popular difficulty hack for any of the games.

Liquid Crystal is just Crystal ported to the FireRed/LeafGreen engine.

Emerald Rogue is just Emerald as a roguelike (randomly generated routes and trainers, stronger items and pokemon appear the farther you get into a run).

Fool's Gold is Gold version but every pokemon has a new typing and sprite.

Pokemon Glazed is a romhack with 3 regions. Don't know how many pokemon it has, but has an assortment up to gen 5 I think. I remember a romhack having a quest log like a MMO and I think this was the one.

Pokemon Clover made by /vp/ on 4chan. All the pokemon are custom. Never played it so don't know if it's fun. I think it has moot and W.T. Snacks as legendary pokemon.

Pokemon Vega, made by a Japanese team. Has a lot of new pokemon, but also mixed with real ones kinda like actual pokemon games.

There are a ton of prepatched roms on this website: https://www.pokeharbor.com/

Sometimes the roms there are glitchy, though. In which case, you should find the .ips patch file and use a web app version of Lunar IPS to patch the clean roms, though I haven't looked into good websites for base roms since Vimm's layer got closed.

It's pretty nice, condenses the formula quite a bit. A Pokemon roguelike seems like such an obvious idea to make, considering how much variety the series has and the popularity of the nuzlocke ruleset. I think Emerald Rogue DX has some new pokemon or forms, too.

Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun works great on the Deck but, gosh is it a slow game compared to Red Alert 2 heh. Every mission feels like a slog. A mission that would otherwise take 15-20 minutes takes an hour because of a hidden structure somewhere on the map that so slowly reveals itself. The structures build very slowly and the resource gathering moves at a snails pace. You can turn the game speed up but it's just silly to have the units move comically fast.

I was playing Enshrouded (open world survivor, similar to Valheim/Ark) but it doesn't run well on my pc - rx 580, i5 9400f (mid range from about 2 years ago I guess). The game itself isn't enough to inspire me to upgrade. I guess its a bit of fun to see people's house/base builds on yt. I prolly spent like 25 hours on it at least. It seemed like you could spend a ton of time constructing a house/base the way you wanted to, there were few limitations. And the gameplay loop was fun - do quests and otherwise go out into the pve enviro to find stuff to upgrade your gear, it was rewarding. A new Ark game - that is actually good - would be good...

One of my brothers randomly brought over his Steam Deck. I got the new family sharing thing running with him and another account for the family to use. Don't have a huge library to share, just a few hundred games, but I guess they made game sharing a lot less gay now. It doesn't stop you from playing any game if another account is playing anything from your library anymore, so this will help to avoid unnecessary repurchases between us all. The only real limitation is that however many accounts in the same family can only play the same game simultaneously based on how many licenses the family has in total for that specific game. Gonna take forever to install Yakuza 7, but gonna try that out on the Steam Deck at some point. I think I can play singleplayer games in offline mode without kicking my family off of my account at their house.

>A lot of people, especially those coming to tabletop gaming from a video game background, can't wrap their head around roleplaying. They see rpgs as being like jrpgs, complex battle systems involving number crunching and fighting monsters and getting exp, rather than the systems being there to facilitate roleplaying in a make believe world.

I was thinking about this and I don't agree with this perspective. Especially earlier editions of D&D read like they're meant to be meat-grinders, where you are expected to re-roll fairly frequently. The idea that the mechanics are supposed to take a back-seat to the role playing elements seems like the more modern sensibility. For example when I tried to get back into D&D a few years ago every DM was very obviously soft-balling encounters, and that's a big reason I never stuck around. I don't expect them to make brutally difficult campaigns(even though that would be based), but I expect them to play optimally for the encounters they've created. They didn't because they all have the believe that the story takes precedence over the actual game.

I'm teaching people how to play TTRPGs right now. I tell them it's like reading a story, where you control a single character in a story and the GM controls everything else. The game system introduces an element of chance, balance and fairness

It's okay to fudge rolls in secret occasionally if it results in greater fun for all parties, but typically the most fun thing of all is pure random chance. Full party death is fun. Maiming, crippling, all the terrible things out there make the game have real stakes and genuine fun

I've played a lot of that. It's a pretty grindy game, at least it was for me because they added the talent tree in the act 2 update and didn't give old players any fast track talent points. It feels like you can't push higher difficulties without heavy investment since the last tier or two on the talents have skills that significantly affect playstyle. Getting the right gear to start pushing torment levels is also quite grindy. I still don't have most of the unique gear for meta builds. Guess talents are a bit nice to compensate for that. What I found good to prioritize on gear are god die stats (alteration, banish, reroll) because pushing higher difficulties requires very specific builds. Gear that also affects rarity upgrade and level upgrade are decent too.

I will say it's certainly more involved than other survivor clones merely for limiting your move speed when you are attacking. Been playing a similar game that just left early access called Halls of Torment. It's more braindead than DMD. I like the art style, but I probably won't play much after I get it back up to 100% completion. The nice thing about these braindead games is they tend to be cheaply priced. They're basically just ego stroking and watching numbers go up and tons of enemies all dying at once. There is a really bad soyjak survivor clone on Steam that runs like shit and is buggy as hell. I think it might be abandoned now, too. The dev said he would fix a bug that is keeping players from a pacifist ending to one of the levels months ago and hasn't said anything since.

This includes the boxed DVD version, which requires Steam to install. While this occurs because of something the pirates did (and not us), we don't support pirated versions and will not troubleshoot these problems; the solution is to buy a legit copy of the game.

LMAO at modders spreading disinfo. The saddest part is I guarantee this affects a lot of poor saps who actually did buy the game. These mods won't even work on the steam deck without troubleshooting, but they'll blame the pirates for something they did intentionally. It is an error code for corrupt files, and while it is true that the DRM known as "steam" is responsible for this in a lot of cases, there are a lot of ways to circumvent this. I've seen a lot of little bitch modders attempting this, but they're not hurting me, they're hurting their fellow buy-cucks.

I'm glad .pdf piracy is an extremely healthy market, but admittedly I just have a hard time reading anything of the scope of a book for enjoyment's sake on a computer screen.

>PS1 Native vs 4K60 Upscaled Emulation | Gran Turismo 2 Duckstation Comparison

There's something about the wobbling pixels in the original that makes it feel more "alive" than the upscaled high resolution emulation which makes it feels static, stale and dead. It's similar to how scanlines add the illusion of shading to low resolution 2D pixel art. Goes to show that aesthetics and the art of motion is always more important than graphic realism or "graphic fidelity" (resolution, number of polygons, using raytracing, etc.); the latter should be treated as bonuses at best, not the focus.

A fork by a dev who actually knows what he's doing? Nonexistent. Zilch. I don't think you understand how complex emulation programming is and the amount of reverse engineering that is required of proprietary blackboxed hardware and firmware that you'd need to do to be able to obtain the technical expertise for this esoteric specialized knowledge. Because it is cutting edge knowledge, you can't just ask ChatGPT to do for you. Emulation development of modern hardware is more complicated than any of the development that high-six-figure Big Tech yuppies do, and it's thankless work (Yuzu devs made lots of money off Patreon but they lost it in legal fees and AFAIK are in debt now). Yuzu spawned hundreds of forks since it got shut down and not a single one has gained any improvement whatsoever, they literally just changed readme files at best. An 8-year-old can make a GitHub account and spawn a "fork" of anything, it means nothing.

yeah it relies on hiding the lack of environment detail behind visual artefacts, it needs to look like crap or it will look like crap, it has to obscure things to ensure that the viewer fills in the detail that isn't ackhually there or technically possible

in contrast doom with it's original textures seems to scale well to modern high resolution (as long as some shitty blurry gpu texture filtering isn't used which zdoom had as the default setting for opengl for very long time). gzdoom has a few effects like ambient occlusion that actually adds to the atmosphere adding fake soft shadows in the room corners, voxel models are very fitting to the style and surface gpu shaders e.g. reflections and depth-maps can look cool

I remember reading the alliance consistently lost to the horde in battle arena thingies or whatever (they were fun too even though I'm pretty sure there were no Aussie servers so the 200+ ping was so bad you'd literally get rekt by a troll assassin or whatever it was called without knowing how).

Correct. Less foids too

I played WoW back in the era before they combined all servers together for instances/battlegrounds, and from what I recall it was near universally the larger faction that won all the time in BGs. My servers were always majority Horde and so the Alliance almost always lost, which was fine with me

It was preferable to get instance battlegrounds as an Ally player and lose, rather than take 30 minutes to an hour to get into a BG and win as a Horde player

Regardless, world PvP was the absolute goat WoW experience. Nothing else in the game was remotely comparable
>raiding capital cities
>camping in cities, camping in the battleground rooms and ganking max level pvpers when they exit BGs mostly dead
>deep blood fueds with other players, hunting them down across the jungle or desert and murdering each other repeatedly
>knocking people out of the sky so they fall to death
>controlling raid demons in the outlands, flying above enemy towns and having the demons destroy everything
>dropping internals in Horde starting zones and having them butcher dozens and dozens of noob players

Everyone on the alliance bitches that horde always wins, and everyone on horde bitches that alliance always wins.

The dominant server faction wins battlegrounds in single server BGs because they always have 1-5 extra people. This was the case historically until they combined all server BGs together, then you're probably correct about guilds determining the winner

Horde still have an advantage with their racials though

 No.90755

I can't really remember what the case was when I stopped playing, whether the BG servers were combined or not. It was right before cataclysm came out. Either way, before I left everyone was just queuing up for BGs and going AFK for the free loser points. I wonder how long it took them to implement a forced quit for being idle for too long.

 No.90759

Yeah, they definitely had battle groups (clusters of realms that would be matched with each other in instanced PVP content) at that point. End of Wrath was when they also created the cross-realm dungeon finder, which also pulled from the battle group at the time. At this point, I think the only thing separating servers anymore is region. Not sure when they did away with battle groups. Americas is its own region and I had a few realms memorized for being where the bulk of spics played. Not inviting players from the realms Azralon, Quel'thalas and Ragnaros anymore made PUGs go a lot smoother.

Think I posted about this in a previous thread here, but only the demo was out at the time if I had. I'm gonna wait for a discount to play, but I had a ton of fun with the demo back before release like half a year ago. High octane, high verticality, smooth gunplay, 2-4 player co-op (there is also opt-in PVP if you ask everyone to use the friendly fire modchip on their loadouts).

I didn't even realize it got a full release until just now. If the demo is still up, give it a shot first, but I played through the demo twice with various people and had a blast both times (about two hours of gameplay each time).

Tribes 2 was probably my favourite FPS. Heroes of Newerth was/still is my favourite MOBA/Dota-style game... Another guy mentioned UT to me recently. I actually can't remember which UT games I played, maybe I played most of them but I can't remember my fav, but that being I don't think I was heavily into it. I remember I disliked one of the later ones (might have been UT3) quite heavily. Maybe I wasn't old enough (would've been 24 in 2014) to be able to articulate my criticism, I just knew I didn't like it as much and wasn't even vaguely as addicted. I did also like Tribes: Ascend though I know it got a lot of hate for the microtransactions and grind and whatever.

I liked HoN a lot, I think about going back to it sometimes because DotA is so different now, though maybe HoN changed a lot by now, too. Ultimately MOBAs are way too cancerous and time-consuming for me anymore, so I probably won't play any ever again (might revisit Heroes of the Storm heh, then ragequit again fast).

Tribes was always the manly shooter. UT and Quake felt close KIND OF, but not really. I probably played both more UT and Quake to be honest, though.

I feel all you're saying. Good choice not playing MOBAs again lol. I feel like Dota helps me think sometimes but who knows.

What I really liked about HoN was how dark and gritty it was. Maybe there's a similar vibe and art style to the Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Really liked the dark, grisly, brutish art style there but couldn't get into the gameplay enough... I think there were issues with difficulty, not knowing how to fight the bosses well enough... Though it was fun.

Been playing Pathfinder WOTR. Heard people saying it's a "woke game", but it's not really. I assume it's because the first companion you get is a black paladin lady. Anyway, if you like infinity engine games then you'll probably like this game too. On the difficulty I'm playing on I find it a lot harder to play using real-time combat than I did for those older games though. Switching to turn-based became a necessity just so my squishier characters weren't constantly flanked and fucked up. And for those unfamiliar, pathfinder is extremely similar to D&D 3.5E. It literally is D&D with different lore. There are some tweaks, but it uses the same spells, mechanics, abilities, ect. It has a much better system than 5E in my opinion.
