I personally didn't really like skylines. I felt like it was missing something the old SimCity games had. very bland
>>623
I never played this series. What would you say is the appeal of city skylines?
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
I'm not sure how far discussion should range on this thread. Do we cut out all fallout games besides Fallout, Fallout 2, And New Vegas? I guess it's for you guys to decide.

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.
I can't afford to buy video games, so I'll have to pirate retro ROMs. What is the absolute best video game for the N64?

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.
Any GOOD "Deep web" (as some would call it) horror games such as Sad Satan and kind of like Psychopomp? Basically good psychological horror games with bad and unusual textures. Not 2D though.1 replies (and 2 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

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.
>>902
Imagine a game like that where you're in the UNIVERSE and gotta fight GODS or something like this ahha would be cool, you dont happen to know any such games, do you bud?
>>904
I do not, but that does sound pretty cool
>>904
There's a batshit insane game called Cruelty Squad that fit that discription well in my opinion.

>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.
The dice which decides every single action in the game is acting as its own separate entity, the equivalent of you throwing a dice in real life. The outcomes it produces aren't pre-determined by your selected class or your character's attributes. The character attributes seem to have a relatively limited influence on the gameplay, only contributing a +2 bonus to the dice roll in certain situations. Even when you select a character focused on persuasion and charisma, like a bard for instance, and opt for a Bard-specific dialogue option during a conversation, the game still insists on a random dice roll exceeding 15 for success, regardless of your character's specific attributes. Even choosing the strongest class doesn't guarantee victory in battles, as the outcome largely depends on the randomness of the dice roll. There seems to be a lack of purpose in having different classes due to this randomness. It's just so frustrating so why not just go and play real D&D Tabletop at this point?
>>469
Are the other D&D games any good?
Did you ever challenge yourself in a game? Put yourself in a situation out of boredom, or to spice up an old game you played before? Did you know of anyone who did a challange that was interesting?
I read Berserkand afterwards i started playing Dark Souls a few years ago and i figured "fuck it, i want my guy to carry a big sword and fuck magic and projectile weapons, i want to beat every retard with the same sword" and then i spotted the elite knight set and i decided to use that entire set for the whole game. i had a ring that gave me more energy, and havels ring and a grass crest shield and i changed nothing besides one time i had to enter the abyss and needed the abyss walker ring to survive.
I also did some minor research into soft and hard caps and basically dumped everything into the stats i needed and ignored the stats i didn't use. basically everything besides faith and magic.
I also found and abused grinding spots for roughly five hours and damn near maxed everything out and i had like 99 liquid souls and 99 regular souls times two on hand incase i lost everything.
Keep in mind i didn't have the master key so i pretty much had to build myself up which took time, wasn't like i was playing on easy mode but i did well for what it was worth. Magic was the gamekiller, i had zero protection and some entry level low grade magic literally damn near insta-killed me and don't talk to me about that blind draggon faggot and his dancing wizard and his crystal caverns, i think i died over 300 times because of him. also the butterfly, in order to survive i took an anons advice and stripped buck naked with only a shield and my zweihander and that battle was difficult as fuck. Also the one eyed dragon nearly got be twice, before i even reached his boss area and halfway through the battle.
Should i have bothered challanging myself before i even played the game? No, But it was actually fun and made the playthrough memorable.
Another gamekiller boss was Dark Sun Gwyndolin
Against all other attacks i could tank but magic? NO. I actually quit playing out of frustration (for damn near the entire year) but then i figured out that you could stand behind pillars and you can effectively time out when to hide, and when to run and eventually you'll get him to stop running.
He'll stand there like a fucking idiot because i guess he ran out of room and he'll stop nuking you and only throw those shitty metal spikes and you can pretty much one shot him if your powerful enough.
I was in a middle of a run, But i left the game for a year and i don't remember the controls and what to do so i'm better off starting over.
I was playing New Vegas, and i had a very interesting playthough. I was new to the game and instead of playing as "myself" I decided to play as "The Punisher" and kill a fuck ton of people i hated and damn the concequences. The most important targets was LGBT, I went and googled all characters related to that and made a little "war journal" of who they where, what they looked like, and where they where located. They where the most important and the lesser people to kill where people i figured where "degenerates" i.e cannibals and gouls, and then "retards" like wifebeaters or people that i hated for whatever reason. The most important people i had to kill in CREATIVE WAYS. And NOT IN THE SAME WAY. As an example if i shot one person miles away that was the only time i could do that. I wish there where more expressive ways to kill people lol like imagine hanging a few people to like a windmill and turning it on at top speed lol.
One way i had to kill a guy was nuking him at point blank range AND SURVIVING, meaning i had to fuck with my stats, carry the correct items and wear the correct stuff.
To make matters worse for myself i was playing on survival mode with the highest difficulty so i can only carry so much, had to constantly eat and rad-away was super fucking slow.
It was a fun run and there's so much that went wrong lol and i'm looking forward to doing it again especially don't remember too much of it (besides pissing off the entire brotherhood of steel and fending them off with a fuck ton of gernades and a shitty pistol.
>>812
Also mutated animals count but the problem is there's this one scorpion thats unkillable, because of a bug. He ran into a rock and imploded on me so i guess that counts as a kill but man i don't want to face that fucker again, i used all my fatmans on him and he kept coming at me.
I also don't know if i'll break the game by killing someone important but hey i've glitched my way out of problems before so maybe i'll figure out a way to survive.
from dos up to PSX, something pretty, preferablly with machines and tanks
jrpg maybe
also not front mission or ffs
