As the light faded, I opened my eyes to utter shock and horror. The world around me as I knew it had been taken even further past the destruction I thought possible. The woman now resembled a raisin, and the egg was now only black ash in her arms. The tower, crooked and ruined, the flowers and greenery of the city now dust and corpses. All the matter of the world had been rendered to dust, forming a desert larger than any planet, any mind, any world. All points collided here and now, upon the discovery of that egg. Upon the discovery of her truth. My beloved... why have you done this?

Outside of the tower was desolation and pain. In the distance, another ethereal tree grew inside of a building. This one much taller than the others, and its inscription even more perplexing. "From Fighter's Cave Rest, Your Devotion Leads You On, To Castle Eclipsed" it read. A perfect cycle, as are all things. The shade from before returned, the Hero from Hell, for one last quest. Perhaps it never left? It has always been here. It follows me as I wander, stumbling into a crawling old man, wearing ragged robes and a crooked crown. He speaks of The Red Hood, to which I was confused but only for a moment. Across the way, past 7 thrones, all in ruins, a large, elderly man sat over a corpse, consuming it. He donned a cloak of red, with a hood and all. He looks up at me as I stare down, and mutters something about remembering me entering his painting, before begging me to give him my blood. I look at him with understanding, and shake my head.
This sends him into a rage, and he leaps at me as though he were a monster himself. He is a monster, transformed into one by his ignorance. In another future, that is me staring upwards to another man, whom I hate more viciously than the Devil could hate God. But I am not that man. He fights speedily, viciously, and without mercy. Filled with mirth, for God. For his pain, for his victims, for his foes. For himself. My companion and I are only barely able to survive his onslaught of attacks. He was skilled, powerful, and perhaps one day he might have been wise, but he had lost all of what remained of his humanity. My companion and I defeated The Red Hood, without prejudice. In another time, I would not understand why he lost. Just as the final blow was dealt to The Red Hood, the shade disappeared, almost as quickly as it appeared. I wonder... is it a part of me? It faded away into the wind, beckoning me to another guide.

I followed the ashes of my loved one until the ends of the Earth. I walked and followed the wind for what felt like years, perhaps centuries, or even just a few moments. But when the time came, I knew what I had to do. I looked upon the eclipsed Sun one final time, and finally understood my fate. I understood my role. My purpose. I am alone. I approached the zenith of the End of the World, and It awoke. The Soul of Cinder, my final battle. A mirror reflection into my own mind. Time is a flat circle, and I will be here again. I have been here thousands of times before, in different worlds. Different minds. Different people. The Soul of Cinder begged me for one final battle, and so I gave it one. I fought for all that I had, tooth and nail, blade and bone. Of all the beasts I've slain, monsters I've overcome, demons I've defeated, none have been as difficult as this. It wasn't until I stopped fighting did I understand.
You cannot fight fire with fire. Violence begets violence, and thusly, the most lethal blow you can deal to your opponent is one in your own heart. It is not the anguish of the outer world that is responsible for your pain, it is instead the demons of your mind and soul. If you know yourself, you can take care of yourself, and that is the first step to greatness. You're going to battle, and you're going to fight. Win or lose, you're always alright in the end.
Do it for me. Do it for one another. Do it for yourself, and do it for each other. I caused this war, but how? It was my pain. I caused it with my pain. I was preventing my own victory with my pain. Killing the Soul of Cinder was the final step, and when I finally stopped fighting, it simply kneeled down and let me slay it. That is the nature of things. I let go.

My path was now clear. I stepped forwards, and let the flame engulf me. Slowly, painfully, it embraced my body, the pain greater than any heartache I had suffered before. I sat, and I thought. I am burning, yet I am not burning. I wanted to win, to defeat all of my enemies, to fulfill my purpose and bring happiness to all those around me. Fear is the source of all anguish, all pain. And pain perpetuates itself.
Embrace the pain, and you will win this game.
And so, I sat, burning, forever and for the rest of eternity. I burned satisfied. Because I love the world. Because I love what is good. Because I can love, even if the world itself fights me at every turn. And one day, the Sun will shine again.
I love you. I will miss you, until the end of time.

I personally didn't really like skylines. I felt like it was missing something the old SimCity games had. very bland

I sure am excited, only problem is 10 FUCKING GIGABYTES OF VIDEO RAM IS REQUIRED?
FOR A GENRE OF GAMES PREDOMINANTLY PLAYED BY CASUALS (MOTHERS, TEENAGER-YOUNG ADULT WOMEN) WITH LOW-TIER OR DESTITUTE DESKTOP RIGS OR LAPTOPS?
HOW ABOUT EA JUST REQUIRE A RTX 4070 TO PLAY SIMS 5 SO YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE BURNING WITH PRECISION, YOU CAN SEE THE BODIES CHARRING OFF WITH ABSOLUTE DETAIL (RAYTRACING REQUIRED OF COURSE) WHEN YOU GET INTO A HAPPY ACCIDENT.
God, who does Paradox think this game is for? Why, oh why, does this require specifications THAT HIGH? Sim City 2000 kicks its ass and it can run on a 486 DX2 at 66 MHz and only 8 MB of system RAM. For god sakes developers, optimize your games, PLEASE.

It was foreshadowing for the piece of shit it ended up being lole

Honestly companions in NV are pretty damn useful, And they all have fun personalities and backstories. I guess i forgot they where a thing since companions in 3 are retarded. ED-E was someone i just learned about in my second playthrough when i saw the eyebot on the table . nearby primm there's lonewolf radio and you'll get all the parts you'll need to repair him.

Started playing Tale of Two Wastelands, an expansive mod that links together fo3 and fnv into one game, with fnv mechanics. I've never played fo3 before so I'm appreciating the atmosphere and experience of playing a new (2me) fallout game. Not knowing what's around the corner, who I'm going to be going up against, what weapons I'm going to find. It's a really neat mod.
On the topic of mods, Tammer's nif-bashed weapons and armor are pretty great. A very lightweight and broadly compatible mod that lets you rampage in style. Mechanically the weapons fill many holes that vanilla doesn't cover, and design wise there are many treats for aficionados for the history and workings of firearms. Contrast with my experience with stuff like weapons of the new millenium where it loaded up a bunch of raiders with fucking Gyrojets. The fuckers probably wipe their ass with local wildlife if they have a date later, and every last one is kitted out with only the rarest and most coveted experimental firearms. Then they turn me into swiss cheese because, surprise surprise, something as cool as a Gyrojet can only be OP. Anyway, where the weapons go in the game is important and Tammer does a great job of discreetly slipping hundreds of armors and weapons into the world in a very organic way. It's become an autoinclude for me.

I'm curious how both stories mesh together, So like now your the son of whatever the project purity guy's name is and after getting your ass nuked to save the world you recover from the radiation only to leave washington to become a courtier only to get your ass shot and forget everything? Sounds kinda hilarious.

>>950
Really not sure, but eager to find out. I know there's supposed to be a timeskip of several years between fo3 and nv while your character travels across the country and presumably gets a courier gig and visits Lonesome Road, New Reno, and whatever else is suggested by nv dialogue. Fun to think about how the character would think about the legion, because that means they'll have to travel through their turf. Unless it's something like a teleporter or a coma or something.
I've got a healthy little modlist going now. Time to show off.

a part of me wishes fallout 3 never existed and new vegas was the real fallout 3 but they did play off of characters and themes from 3 that fell flat in their own game.

Gamecube has some games that was originally n64 games. Having an n64 with a fuck ton of games i bought from yard sales, I have to say it is worth it if you actually own the console (and thats if it still works, is clean or can be cleaned and so on)
Being a consolefag and living with people that feel like digital emulation is like devilworship, It meant i couldn't just intall an emulator so i had to just make due with what i can find.
Mario 64 has a DS game that has cleaned the graphics and smoothed the gameplay, 3DS (if you can find it) has OOT and a few other games on gamecube (sm64 too i think)
I think switch also has some n64 games emulated to switch you can buy in stores or gamestop.

>>794
Also goldeneye 007 has plenty of ports from DS, To Wii, to xbox and i think gamecube.
If you own gamecube disks and not a gamecube, but a wiii, the wii can actually play the disks natively without any problems via backwards compatibility.

Anon, don't use Project64, that's spyware! Use Mupen64 + a Reshade CRT preset. That's what I use and it works very well.

>>792
Correct, the N64 has a very small library. There aren't any hidden gems for the N64.

Does anyone have problems with playing n64 games on new screens? i was playing mario 64 and it's all blurry and wide and i was thinking of buying a small tv for the sake of enjoying the game.

GOD BLESS YOU (or whatever you believe) Thank you so much man! :D funny thing is I only have like one game which is DISILLUSION TOO ahaha, you got what I was trying to say and thanks for that :) how do you think I can describe it next time?

>>901
Happy I could help! These sorts of games are my favorites but it's hard to share them since they're a little out there.
The terms I see come up are exploration game or maybe something like first person dungeon crawler. Walking simulator? Throw "retro style" or even "vaporwave aesthetic" in there and folks should get the gist. Listing a few games like you did is probably the best way to go. I guess it's more of a vibe than a genre which makes things tricky to name without making a word salad.

>Whenever I see a game become an overnight sensation like this I prefer to steer clear for a bit
Games like this or Lethal Company are rarely actually good. They're good bait and nothing else. For a while it was the "coop survival horror" stint that a bunch of lets players went on. For PalWorld, it's effectively bait for the entire gaming community because it's just "Pokemon but good" even though Palworld isn't good and Pokemon isn't good either.
They're just bait games. That's why they die so fast-- they have ZERO staying power because their only appeal is something separate from itself. The appeal of Palworld isn't that it's PALWORLD, the appeal is that it's Pokemon but "Good", and that just isn't enough to keep people around.
It's frustrating but it keeps the brainless normgroids distracted for better games to be appreciated by people who actually care

>>851
all this is going to do is change the market because said brainless normroids are making gaming companies think that the market enjoys the bare minumum and so that's all they'll bother putting out.
people bitched about dlc and horse armor prices being up the roof expensive but they really didn't do nothing to nothibg but post shit memes instead of not buying the games and protesting. people made shit mlg memes about mountain dew and doritos and MLG and all that did is bolster corperate sponsored competitive gaming which saturated the market with shit multiplayer games no one gives a fuck about.
theres going to be more palworld clones and theres nothing anyone can do to stop it infact i'm sure the people that enjoy it think their sticking it to the man but in reality all they are doing is pushing the market to shit out whatever.

Did this game just die or something? It seemed like a flavor of the month.

Seems mostly to be the case, but I still hear about it now and then. Yesterday the devs announced a dating sim for april fools. Confirmed to have nsfw content. Reminds me of that KFC dating sim that every youtuber thought was hilarious a few years back, just a predatory cash in on a genre that has a struggling image as-is. Seems like a red flag that they're announcing this so soon, considering the past history with ditching projects. Maybe it's small enough in scale that it's cheap to produce and the effort/publicity ratio works, I don't know. I don't work in marketing. As a consumer, when a dev team that's supposedly stretched thin starts producing furry porn I take it as something of a red flag.

I guess the game isn't going out of early access anytime soon. I figured with how popular the game was earlier this year the devs make it their main focus, but it seems like I might never play the game if the developers never finish it.

>>469
Are the other D&D games any good?

I used to play LittleBigPlanet 2 every day back when it was new. It was such a revolutionary iteration on the first game, I figured 3 would have limitless potential. I even remember a Game Informer article jokingly claiming that LBP3 would have players code their own games from scratch. As ridiculous as the idea was, it wasn't much of a stretch from what people were already doing in 2. Instead, the game we got was just a misguided rehash with none of the same energy about it. I hardly even played it after finishing the underwhelming story mode.
I never really looked into why this was the case, but I gather Media Molecule wasn't involved with LBP3 in the same way as with the first two. At least they moved on to make Dreams, which seems to be more in-line with what I had been expecting, although I've never played it myself. I've always appreciated games with robust level editors; I think they led to my interest in programming.

>>829
Dark Deity is one game that, from a story standpoint, failed to live up to its potential. Gameplay-wise, it is similar to the Fire Emblem series, with well-executed gameplay similar to that of that series. The gameplay was what I loved the game for. The story itself is completely forgettable. I beat the game last month, and I've already forgotten the story. The conversation between the characters I unlocked was a chore to read through too. Have you ever played a game where the gameplay was good, but the story was bad?

Morrowind makes me mad because todd howard was the director, The story of the game is so rich, And so much could have come to a sequal but instead came oblivion which for its time looked terrible and the story itself is watered down and even slightly non-canon and then all the other shit that came after.
Sometimes i can only imagine if morrowind was directed by someone else and what would have came from it.

>>835
Another game by God Howard himself that comes to mind is Fallout: New Vegas.
Part of the problem is that they got the original fucking team that made the original fallout games, Gave them 15 fucking months to make it and the shitty fallout 3 engine as a means of making it.
The writing and a ton of the gaming aspects are fucking incredible but the shitty copy-pasted engine thats held togeather by sting and glue is pretty much toast and the graphics are for shit along with tons of bugs.

i was reading a blog entry by chris avalone about the honest heart DLC and hpw they where inspired by old comicbooks and stuff and it was interesting and MAN does it suck to see such ideas wasted on a shit platform. hell the offical new vegas comic is pretty damn good. i almost feel like they could have told the entire damn story in comic book format but i guess i can understand the want for a game and the problems with working for shitty gaming companies.
