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.121 replies (and 47 file replies) omitted. Click here to view.

I played a little more Live a Live today and I enjoyed the story of the China level. The generic elements of there is a ruse and then an ambush. The clique is charming to me. I am excited about what is coming next.
>>1276
I recently beat the Taros boss battle. It was very difficult because only the main character could do damage. It was scary towards the end because Taros would do a lot of damage and I had to constantly heal the hero.
>>1293
does the boss move, or is it a static image
>>1294
It did move but it wasn't very memorable. I think it was drawn like that to show the boss was a giant.
Final fantasy 3 is a very fun game, playing the remake version, that is. The game is short, simple and to the point, while obviously dated in some cases it's still not too bad and even the act of grinding is not too bad to be honest. The story also pacts an emotional punch like dragon quest so i think it's nice so far. It's also funny coming off of playing Strangers in paradise with the parody of random retards meeting up because they all have the same cool rock, i'm unsure to be honest why i abandoned ff3 as a kid.
A funny moment, scenery, or anything that caught your eye. (Keep in mind the 8 file limit per post)
I've been coming back to this game for the past decade + and there's good reason for that. It's by far the most fantastic hero shooter ever made and I think there's no way you'd be able to experience what happens in Team Fortress 2 in any other game.
After half a decade I used to think this game was dead when competitive took the scene and it was such a mess so I took a break thinking I would never return to the game again, but here I am, out of all of the games I could play I still spend all of my free time playing Team Fortress 2.
Every time I see a gameplay video of Team Fortress 2 I get this itch that is so overwhelmingly strong that makes me fire up the game in a instant and get into a server.
Despite the bot problem and how Valve is completely neglecting the game, asking people to do their work for them despite bringing in billions into their company, I don't think any community would have been able to stay alive as much as this one.
I want to discuss with you guys what makes Team Fortress 2 such a fun game from your favorite character, map, and loadout to all of the comics and various updates that changed how the game is played.
Now with webm support I hope we can share a bunch of gameplay footage which can be completely random things like awesome airshots you got, killstreaks, or funny and unexpected moments. Just make sure you can at least blur your name or use an alias people can't find you under.21 replies (and 15 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)
After spending 1040 hours on this game I've come to the conclusion that I'm a perma-beg and will never reach the skill level I want to. I wish all the casual players the best.
A bunch of random low quality pyro TF2 clips. For the 4th clip I actually asked the heavy what he thought of becoming a bird heavy:
DEAD Cuntslinger : that was the most fun ive had all day
Anonymous : did you enjoy the ride?
DEAD Cuntslinger : thank you pyro
If you want the context for clip number 5 if I remember correctly it was a extremely sweaty tryhard match which lasted for around 50+ minutes that was resolved by the blue team getting careless.

I like classic. Seems like the people behind it actually give a shit. I love Pyro's playstyle with his new gear. The guy seems a lot better defined as a hit-and-run ambusher instead of the weird jack-of-all-trades we've come to love in normal tf2. For the ones who do not know, TF2C gives Pyro a single-shot shotgun that deals self-knockback like the Force-a-Nature and reloads like a flare gun. There's also a scythe that does two things when you have it out while enemies are taking damage from your fire: it heals you and charges a meter that gives the scythe a guaranteed crit. The downside is that the scythe is displayed prominently on Pyro's back and enemies are extinguished when you die, giving the opponent an incentive to finish you off instead of scattering for a health pack. So you've got more incentive and ability to stay alive, enough mobility to get into position and close gaps, and strong finishing potential with scythe crits. Despite all this you can't get up to bullshit like with the phlogistinator and at any time you can rejoin with your team to supply airblast support. It feels great and very balanced.
And lads. The final comic released. It's all we've been waiting for. Go check it out.

So VALVe as a whole doesn't care about making content for the game anymore, but they will gladly get the community to do the work for them.
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.3 replies (and 17 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

I like how fitting the song lyrics are.
Didn't know until I started translating that Love Machine was a very nationalistic song lol
https://aramajapan.com/news/interview/tsunku-and-prime-minster-abe-shinzo-discuss-how-to-make-an-exciting-japan/68980/
>Abe: In the lyrics of Morning Musume song “LOVE Machine” that had music and lyrics produced by you, you have the lyrics “Nihon no mirai wa sekai ga urayamu” (translated as: “Japan’s future makes the world jealous”). Those lyrics concurs with our advancing policies.
>Tsunku: Is that so?
>Abe: Surely, Japan will go out and become a country that shines in the middle of the world.
>And then there are the lyrics of “Donna ni fukeiki datte koi wa inflation” (translated as: No matter how much of a recession there is, love is an inflation) Japan was already plunging into deflation when that song was popular. The price of things dropped and pessimism began. Everyday value was soaring in the middle of those things, the ability to sing about that is amazing. Probably because we are agreeing with the notion of freeing ourselves of deflation now. Maybe the last part of “Morning Musume. mo, anta mo, atashi mo”? (Translated: “Morning Musume too, you too, me too”)
>Tsunku: Also “Kaichosan mo” (laughs) (Translated: Company president too)
>Abe: Surely it isn’t the one million total success society. That is a bit distorted. (Laughs)

This brochure contains inspiration drawn from the beliefs of peoples who actually inhabit the Earth now or in the past, or from facts taken straight from history or science. Each case includes the suggestion, how given beliefs or facts can be interpreted in the spirit of cosmic horror, emphasizing their appropriate elements or bending them slightly. Sometimes the descriptions are quite brief - a detailed discussion of each topic would take a lot of space and time. These are rather teasers intended to show why a specific thing may be interesting for fans of eldritch vibes and possibly encourage them to take a closer look at the topic.
The article is intended primarily for Game Masters who play games in systems inspired by Lovecraft's works, such as Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green. However, I hope that other fans of cosmic horror will also find something for themselves here. The interesting facts presented here may also be interesting for people who are not familiar with the work of The Loner of Providence, but some of the references may be unclear to them.

I lack a better title. The topic for this thread is very, very wide.
Horror games, strange games, and so on. But it doesn't stop there! This expands to horror or unexpected elements you didn't expect to see in normal games! Maybe you boot up the game you like one day, and you get some type of bug that absolutely floored you, Maybe a nice relaxing game has some implications that send a shiver down your spine, You'll never be able to get off of mr bones wild ride!

Top Banana is obligatory.
It feels like a game an indie dev would base an ARG around nowadays, with really bizarre (though not outwardly creepy) visual and audio design. It's kind of disturbing to think about the origins of something so seemingly alien.
I've seen this one posted a lot, but are there any more with this same obscure feel? the more obscure, the better, obviously

That's the manual? That's what the story is about? I'm so confused.

Are you sure that's the manual for this game? Was it developed by a damn hippie or something? That would actually explain a lot...

ITT: Consolefags
This thread is for videogame consoles, modding, cleaning, fixing, really anything related. You can also discuss discs, after all some versions of discs are better then others, and some consoles handle games better too. As an example, new vegas on the ps3 handles poorly with several gamebreaking bugs yet to be patched, while although still buggy, the xbox edition is better. For dark souls, prepare to die edition is better then dark souls remastered. One great examples is how magic, and other weapons like arrows track when locked on to an enemy, meanwhile in remastered, the ability is gone. Also the graphics are actually poorly remastered, characters and armor looks like toys, the original graphics actually are cleaner in prepare to die.
>>1268
As a warning to those who buy preowned games, remember that not everything comes on disks. As an example, Nier automata, game of yorha edition's dlc is on seperate paper, and not on the disc and is of one time use. Meaning, if you buy a preowned copy thinking you'll get everything, your out of luck. Some games DO have dlc baked onto the disc, AND all previous updates and bug fixes, such as the game of the year edition of fallout new vegas, or dark souls 3 fire fades edition.
>>1270
Although, i bought a preowned copy of Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, with the DLC paper and i entered in the code and to my shock the code worked, so i think some codes are multi use?
Atlus are a bunch of jews so buying persona 5 isn't as easy as you think. Persona 5 was originally developed, and then released for the ps3. With the ps4, came obvious visual upgrades and minor changes due to more powerful hardware. Royal is a diffrent game, totally reworked visuals, gameplay, and assets including dialoge changed to reflect the original japanese script, even a scene is reworked in which instead of ryujii getting raped in the red light district by a bunch of faggots, it's changed where he's dragged off in the dark and forced to wear drag.
Royal comes with a new storyline and major alterations to include more story, making the gameplay as long as 100+ hours instead of the usual 40+ or less hours. BUT WAIT THERES MORE!!!! So, those motherfuckers at fatlus added a disability mode, that you can't disable, which fucks with the UI, and cutscenes, so as to not cause people a stroke but it makes the game look like actual trash. As an example, during an "all out attack", the visuals are edited out, the attack shortened, amd the visuals darkened, from bright red to very dark red. This isn't in the Ps3, 4, switch, and royal versions, but in the ps5 and xbox? yes. i heard the PC version has the same problem bug i don't know. The switch versions has noteworthy downgrades including crunchy, compressed audio, the ps5 version has high framerates and native 4k, at the cost of the aformentioned disability problems, including more problems with lighting that wasn't fixed.
I think its more proof as to why it's really good to do research, and watch youtube videos before you snag a copy, so you get a good copy or buy the correct game. Youtube also has some decent videos actually looking at the diffrent versions, and how they reflect apon hardware, various platforms and so on, and most of them are non spoiler. A good thing is that old copies of persona 5 are actually dirt cheap, 10 or lower, while royal depending on what platform, might be more expensive. I bought a copy of The royal for ps4 for 30 dollars, new at walmart.
>>1280
You also have the problem of not being able to transfer saves. If you played a good chunk of Persona 5 and wanted to transfer your save over to royal, your SOL. The short and skinny of what i'm trying to say is that every version of the game is it's own seperate, self contained thing. The only good thing your save file does is like dead space, where you'll get some goodies if you have a save file on your system and you decide to play strikers, you'll get some extra music as a thank you.
Also, speaking of platforms, El shaddi for xbox has native anti aliasing, and the ps3 has some major unpatched bugs, and yet for some reason the PS3 version is more expensive.

So even in firered, the dialoge about the "lightning american" is still there, interesting to say the least. America exists in the pokemon universe, really makes you think. And the pokemon war is kinda silly, i can imagine a bunch of fat pikachus holding little M911 guns with little military uniforms.
Also there's a hiker that was supposed to be high on weed that was taken out of the english translation, and in the english translation there's a ton of anime jokes like from G fighter gundam as an example and a few jokes taken from music like hit me with your best shot, the song by pat benatar
The main reason why all the adults are retarded, high on drugs, and even lecherous is because, the war, WW2. Pokemon took for the first few games took place in the real world. Kids took over, changed the laws, blamed the adults for everything, which is why the first two games have such a diffrent tone. there was some censorship in the english translation of pokemon so some stuff was lost to be honest, so it's probably why most people got a more fantasy feeling like if pokemon was in a diffrent reality then ours.
>This country heavily resembles 20th century Japan, but there are some differences.
>Allow me to explain a few of those differences here.
>For example, compulsory education ends in primary school at the age of ten.
>Students are free to continue into middle school if they wish.
>When children complete primary school at the age of ten, they are legally considered as adults.
>In this facet, it more closely resembles the country England... >Engliss, than 20th century Japan.
>This is the “All Primary School Graduates are Adults Law”. Or PGAL (Primary Graduates Adulthood Law) for short.
>.Basically, as of the April following your tenth birthday... you are able to gain a Pokémon License and are permitted to carry Poké Balls to capture Pokémon. However, due to a law for preserving natural habitats, you are only permitted to have six balls at a time.
>Of course, there's more to being a legal adult than the right to own Pokémon.
>All adult rights are granted. Under 18s don't qualify as minors, not even 14 or 15 year olds. For example, if you were to steal something from a convenience store, the consequences would be more than just the shopkeeper getting mad at you, the police would arrest you. And no matter how much your parents try to apologise, you are still culpable as an adult.
>The most important point of this law is... after leaving primary school you make your own life choices.
>You can strive to achieve higher education or take over the family business.
>Naturally, you're free to search for a job you like as well. If they were so inclined, an eleven year old boy and girl are even free to marry without parental consent. You are considered an adult right down to details like traffic violations. ... And you pay taxes like an adult too.
