Pretty simple: talk about retro styled games. By that I mean games with stricter punishments for failure, and generally are designed not as an experience expected to be finished, but a challenge meant to be conquered (or otherwise any game made 25+ years ago). I love these kinds of action games despite not being very good at them.
Talk about games you like / dislike, their developers and publishers, games you beat, parts you're stuck on, etc.

I really like it when retro games have a hand drawn art style. some games that come to mind is mgs3, morrowind, and okami.

>Hand-drawn art style
Are you referring to the promo art or what?

3ds version of oricana is bullshit because there's this one game breaking bug that if you forget about it, or even fuck up one time then your memory is fucked and you lose all your progress and have to start a new game from scratch.
Golden dawn for the gameboy advance is really cool, the graphics and music are pretty good for a gba game and the story so far is pretty good.
The megaman zero games for the DS are difficult but really fun, and cool to boot.

I haven't played many puzzle games to be fair, but I've enjoyed puzzle 'n desu for the snes. It is a cute game where you have to push colored blocks around to make them appear in a line of three or more which makes them disappear. It also has a timer so you have to think quickly, although with emulators cheating is easy (I didn't). The music is neat, the visuals are pleasant, overall it feels quite nice to play although I've never finished it and recently have lost my saves after a retroarch update.
It is available in japanese only but it's not hard to guess what menu items mean and the story is illustrated.
I don't know if any of you care about columns, but I like the columns III guy more than I actually like any of the games. Good riddance to columns, I say; the games are pretty below average. More games should have this kind of retarded marketing where a random man is farting around on the cover.

If you were a real gamer you'd be able to imagine the story as you go. The selfless I block. The treacherous Z and S blocks, only playing nice with their own kind. The diplomatic T. The stalwart O block, unwilling to compromise its principles for anything... they are all characters as vivid as anything from Lord of the Rings and familiar as friends to me.

The fucking Vs. Seeker, I did not realise that they included it in FireRed and god damn, was i stupid for not using it. All this time i was basically running around like an idiot after exausting all the visible trainers and grinding on shitty lower level wild pokemon when i could have been using Vs. Seeker to train, it is so fucking useful and actually nice,
Pokemon trainers you fought against can have another fight with you, and i noticed they also are in some cases tougher and higher level. Is this feature in other games? Have i been blind?
>>1190
I'm curious about this, because dispite being a retread apparantly the changes made allegedly improved the story, along with litte things like a back button on the poketech watch thingy
They added the pokemon detective guy looker and they changed most of cyruses dialoge, and expanded apon his role. It's too bad i don't remember much of my playthrough of diamond because otherwise i think it would have been neat to see if platinum is good or overrated.

Over the last few years, my video game backlog has become bigger and bigger to the point that I don't know if I'll ever run out of games to play. People of working age seem to experience more game backlogs for a variety of reasons. In this thread, we will document our progress in whatever game we are playing. In this thread, we will be encouraged to finish games that we have already started. Your updates don't have to be much just do them to encourage yourself. I'll start. Recently I've started the Square Enix RPG Live a Live. Initially, I chose to play as a ninja character. I like fighting everyone I can. Usually, I poison the character and allow the enemy to die from a distance. The campaign has more to offer, but so far it's been fun.92 replies (and 36 file replies) omitted. Click here to view.

I got to the point where I reunited with the normal Blonde mage. The lore about her was cool because before she was more of a background if anything. I am glad to have her back in my party because she is the best healer.
>>1156
I am currently grinding to get the best equipment for the fight with Indignus. The way Indignus can attack multiple times forces me to grind for better equipment and abilities.
I just crossed over the border into Mexico in read dead redemption undead nightmare today. Looting bodies in rdr and rdr:un is a fucking pain in the god damn ass, and I'm going to Miss West Dickens when I move onto rdr2.
>>1158
I beat Indignus and the boss after Indigenus. The third boss's seems like it is tough. I am not sure if this is the final boss or not.
>>1161
I ended up beating the second act. The final boss was pretty easy because I ground to a good level. The strategy I used for the boss was a more aggressive approach. I had one healer on each lineup healing while the other units did as much damage as possible. I hear Act III the final boss is harder. I am not looking forward to grinding, but I'll do it.

The reason why this thread isn't titled after the game i'm currently playing, is because i would like to know if there are other titles in the series that are good. Lets discuss dragon quest, what you like, the stories, and more!7 replies omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)
something i don't understand about dragon quest 9 is the price of goods, like holy shit why is everything overpriced? there's no way in hell i can catch up unless i grind for an hour to generate the cash to buy my crew the latest gear.
>>1110
how is the story of dragon quest 11? 9 so far is actually working out well, all of the little stories pack an emotional punch for me, recently there was one about a living doll amd a giant spider and it was pretty tragic of a story.
>>1111
I don't understand why i'm so stupid. So there's this place called swinedimples and i got my ass kicked by the boss and i was wondering why the game is so fucking hard, because i thougt it was an easier boss in my memory, so i looked at a guide and he's supposed to be like level 36 meanwhile i'm level 25 and to make matters worse i missed the area i was supposed to find before swinedimples with an easier boss, Batsureg. I don't even know how to reach that place? I feel like zoro from one piece i'm so fucking lost lol.
>>1122
After going through the proper order the swinedimple boss was actually a cakewalk, even though i didn'g level up too much in the prosess. Batsureg also worked out because the ranger class is a glass cannon so you you are stuck with basic bitch gear till late game, and that place also had real ranger gear. Early on the only place that had gear you can use was at port laffian and by that time your level 10 so basically your stuck with level 10 gear untill you reach level 30. The vanish ability is nice during a boss battle because i basically can snipe, and i have the bonus of all the cool ranger spells and buffs to use in battle, and it made time fly faster then the previous time i played dragon quest as a martial artist.
The cockney slang in dragon quest nine is starting to piss me off. I think it's the localization, but it's just grating to read because sometimes it becomes gibberish like some parts of dark souls, like when you meet the talking cat.
Also it's weird that at first a boss battle is fucking hard but after the second try it ends up being a cakewalk? The hog guy whos name i forgot wiped out my team one by one on the first try and after painfully griding for an hour to reach level 32 i go back and the battle was fine? I think i used the same strategy of vanishing then buffing the shit out of my team mates, so i don't understand what changed at all.
Also i like the fake out where you get power ranger armor and you think your gonna do a cool boss battle and watch a killer animation sequence only to get arrested seconds later.
So i think i made it to the point where the game is damn near over in IX
The last boss battle i fought was against Godwyn, who was a bitch to beat the last time, mainly because he's a nigger who removes any buffs and status effects placed on my team and his (at the time) unexpected SECOND BOSS FIGHT took me off guard. This time i faired slightly better, my team mates died twice but other then that it was basically me just throwing random shit just to see what works. Now the royal pain in my ass will be corvis, the problem with that faggot is that he's a fucking TRIPLE BOSS FIGHT. I'm like level 30 something and i was thinking at this point i'll focus on reaching fucking 50 and maybe grind for gear and weapons. Sucks bit hey, the game is nearly fucking over.

If you have played persona 3, this thread is for you. Let's discuss the story of these games, and any developer secrets or trivia you might know.
Media wise, i heard from a cat that the manga was shit and the anime trilogy was decent and there was a sequel set 10 years later called "Persona: Trinity Souls" that was supposed to be good.
I would like to be frank as OP by saying i would have liked to play the original game but i am stuck with Reload, If i get a physical copy of the original, or FES then i will be talking about it immediately.
It seems logical to say that the original seems to be the one to focus discussions around, although some might not be able or willing to emulate it, Persona 3 portable is controversial due to it having to cut corners to even exist but it probably was the first way people experienced persona 3, and the added female protagonist seems to be something people enjoy. Persona 3, Reload is a diffrent beast. It's also newer but with changes made that let hardcore ps3 fans down and some changes that they enjoyed but overall to them, it appears to be at best mediocre from their perspective.
I haven't done any research or read or watched any reviews that spoiled the story for me so everything i mention is from my point of view and i'll be blind or oblivious from any perspective people have of reload, or alterations from the original game that only exist in reload.5 replies omitted.

it was revealed that i was getting monitored by shuji, and he dismissed yukaris complaints about it, and afterwards damn near let yukari get killed so that my persona power would activate. when she basically admitted what was going on i personally felt like she's one of the only trusteorthy person on SEES. not a fan of shuji, and i'm getting a feeling that SEES is nothing but a glownigger operation and that even if i can trust the others, everyone is getting used somehow for some stupid fucking goal i don't know about yet like it seems too simple for shit to be like "join the government and save the world"
i don't understand why i was made leader, if its another glowop or if it's bad writing, i feel that yukari should have been although to be honest she couldn't even use the evoker so it seems like maybe it had to be this way?
junpei seems too green to even join SEES, a part of me is wondering if he's gonna fuck up somehow, but at the same time he also made an interesting point, why make the evoker a gun? he pointed out it was nutty for someone to like, point a gun at their face and pull the trigger, why not a remote or button? maybe the fear reaction or the
desensitization to death?
Does anyone else struggle with finding SP restoring items? Are you really forced to scrounge through only vending machines or will the medicine shop sell that stuff eventually?
It seems to be my biggest bane. At least in 5 you can get shit from the cafe but it seems in 3 i am out of luck (so far).
Yeah i checked and its already april 23 in game and i pretty much knocked out tartarus on april 20. I mean fully wiped tartarus, all 22 floors, all chests, all shadows even the bosses without skipping anything. by the time it was over my team had no SP left besides junpei, and we all had our health knocked down to a quarter, with no healing items left that we got from the start. From 5000 starting shekels to buy shit got doubled to roughly 20000. This was on normal difficulty so maybe i should have started on something harder lol.
The full moon event was bitchin'
Nice visual flair and some drama with a really cool boss. I liked the timed battle aspect that got turned up every time the boss fast forwarded time, i was lucky as hell to be well prepared and at a decent level, otherwise i would've probably gotten fucked. I don't know why junpei was acting out though. Afterwards it was comfy actually being able to hang out with junpei (have a soft spot for comic books and i really like arcades and junpei having a great voice actor is a plus) and i'm looking forwards to fucking finally getting to know the other teammates.
So i made it to the third full moon event and a bit further after that, like the 50th floor of tartarus, i enjoy the tone of the game and the situation where your just a guy in a fucked up situation with this unreal bullshit messing up the real world, hard to explain but it's like lovecraft or fucking ghostbusters as a somewhat shitty example. Unlike 5 where your just a superhero.
I wanted to throw up in my mouth though when you get new outfits, they do this faggoty "the right stuff" slow walk as if they expect me to say "wow so cool!"
How about stop with that bullshit? It's just as fucking retarded as every other thing reusing the fucking akira slide like fuck you, stop it.
Maybe this is just me, but also it feels easy as fuck, like i don't have to put too much effort into survival like i thought i'd reach a difficulty spike sooner or later.

Did you really pay for a new copy or something?
Currently playing Manor Lords again ever since the Early Access release and I was already mad back then that the game lacked basic features such as another AI player on the map and honest to god with the most recent update I think it's the exact same release that I played a year ago. There's absolutely fucking nothing new and it all still SUCKS BALLS.
>>1150
Another fucking frustrating thing is the handholding and literal 20 minute tutorial, and i wanted to activate survival mode but for whatever reason it's not popping up in the settings so i'm hoping to see if after the handholding is over i'll actually get access to the fucking settings.
>>1151
5 bucks for a ps4 copy lol
The capcom fighting collection is actually pretty fucking good, part of my problem as usual is,just the typical "skill issues" but the games are really fun.
Cyberbots has a fun story, visuals and gameplay and not only are there sperate characters with diffrent storylines, but several diffrent mechs to choose from, and diffrent usages per mech, if i had issues against a boss, then changing out to a diffrent mech with a diffrent skillset and fighting style might give me the edge i need.
Red earth is outstanding too, has some cool features like "leveling up" and getting buffs against attacks kinda like a fusion of an RPG and a fighting game. You also get special endings based on stuff you did and i ended up getting the bad ending lol.
Played a bit of darkstalkers, i love the characters and OST.
Still pretty dogshit at streetfighters lol, even at the most easiest difficulty, the good thing is that there's a "training mode" so maybe if i work hard enough i can break through just panic buttonmashing to win.

For posting and discussing MADs featuring video games which also includes Gunsync since >>>/cre8/21/ was repurposed for creating (it's a mix of both anyways).
Similarly to the Anime MAD thread >>>/a/389/#389 please don't post any YTPMV Cover-styled MADs（原曲不使用）although in this case I guess it doesn't really matter who made it as long as it's good.
There were a few Dead Space MADs already uploaded to some threads which gives you kind of an idea of what's possible to find under https://www.nicovideo.jp/search/ゲーム%20MAD it's pretty common for you to see MADs of Japanese video games but pretty rare for western ones unless there's some kind of meme about it.
This Detroit Become Human 音MAD by miyota as an example was started because of the scene in Detroit Become Human in the Japanese dub where apparently Connor screams "Open up! Detroit Police!" and the VA didn't know whether the scene was taking place inside or outside so this quiet scene turned funny with that context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgnXYjZ-z1k [Play] but I think it's the only decent MAD that uses more than that material from the game and also trailers. Has to be probably one of my favorite ones now and shows the kind of potential there is with this stuff.6 replies (and 16 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)
