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

>>86419
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.

Pikmin 4 has annoying lock-on targeting, which seems to do more harm than good. I remember it being a lot easier to one-shot the little bulborbs by throwing a pikmin on their backs. Now the pikmin land on their faces.

The funny thing is, all they had to do was reduce the price slightly, and include both DLCs together, and it would've been fine.
That and not release a glitchy mess.

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. Don't entirely recall, but I swear I remember getting a Galarian Zapdos (fighting/flying instead of electric/flying, looks like a roadrunner) during a run. Could've been a dream.

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.

At least most of the face buttons are unique. I think the deck has a setting to swap the button functionality and I usually don't have the lights on to see the faces anyway so I might use that.

Also I wish Xboxes went forward with the original plan to be backwards compatible with Dreamcast. I kinda want to jailbreak my OG box. Actually seems like one of the better systems to softmod.

>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

If the players act like retards they should all die like retards. There's absolutely zero fun to be had if the characters have God on their team and can't lose at all
