>>297 >skyrim

>>63 >>65 >hedgehogfag >Fallout 4 lmao sunset yourself

>>297 Skyrim can be decent when heavily modded, also even if most if theae games are mainstream they are all good or okay, well vanilla skyrim is pretty meh but like I said the mods can make it funner.

>>295 Zero mission is a lot of fun, I've heard the Wario Land games are pretty good as well.

>>861 >Wario Land games are pretty good They are. Wah-Wah Wario.

>>371 Negro, if you throw all of the fps games from Nintendo 64 that is seen as a classic. Then you don't have any worthwhile games for the system to begin with. If you play Silent Hill for the puzzles and not for it being a good RE clone/survival horror game there is something deeply wrong, one could argue that the whole game of Silent Hill as in the plot is a puzzle to figure out but that's bit too artsy. >there was a skip animation button where the fuck is it? on OG hardware.

Easier to count which games weren't masterpieces and must-plays.

There's this channel I found on jewtube that does these documentaries on the Saturn and the person's goal is to review Saturn game released in America. His episode on Virtua Cop has him interview with the development team and documenting their successes and struggles porting it to the system. https://invidious.slipfox.xyz/channel/UC9pDNUuabc9QVAm-WzXUe_A

>>377 Holy boomer!

For me, gen 5 and 6.

>>741 >literal a Galilean jewish rabbi >n-not jew!

>>746 Gotta love how wario is basically kiketendo mocking jews.

>>625 >DS2 has its merits, especially now when it's almost 10 years old feel old yet? Yeah I feel video games fall across into the stains of time anon, and although that makes me sort of feel older, my manchild mind doesn't exactly feel older, I sort of feel like an autistic observer watching everything slowly but surely die, reality on the internet has sort of regressed into the undead state you are in the souls games for the most part at this point.

>>630 Thanks to a backlog, the death of gaming hasn't really affected me. There are so many great games out there you'll never finish them even in your lifetime. There are games I'm still trying to get to since like 2011. This thought makes me very positive, I can only laugh at (and feel pity for) zoomers who have to tolerate all this woke modern garbage because they can't play anything older than widescreen era.

never forget

>>631 I just go back to the classics as well, and some of my autistic late 2000-mid 2010 jap games that aren't pozzed. Still the death of gaming, much like the death of all (((nerd))) culture and the death of the internet that anons knew is truly a depressing thing when you think about it for a second, your attitude is a lot better than mine. Doom still has incredible mods/content and is incredibly fun to play even without any 20+ years later. Also there are a couple of DS2 mods that actually add new terrain to the map and improve the game a ton that I really enjoyed playing, auger of darkness being one of them I think it was its name. >>632 Oh I didn't forget how bad it was, but I do play the original with a couple of mods on RCPS3, and event he original PS3 as I have a couple modded ones stashed about.

>>633 Yeah DS2 was modded to almost look like it was originally advertised. But ultimately any gameplay improvement mods are just there to make it more like a proper Souls game, at which point you might as well just play a proper Souls game. DS2, especially now, has merit specifically in being different and unique, for good and for worse.

>>527 Pre Skyrim/NuFallout Bethesda games are pretty good for what they are and the type of open world they were going for.

>>529 Vegas was pretty fun.

>>587 it's still a nufallout mod

>>590 But a very fun nufallout mod.

>>623 I just can't stand nufallout's gameplay no matter what.

>>504 gotta restock on soylent till then

>>503 >I guess they're just gonna run with this look for the next 5 games or so. There's only been 3 mainline Zeldas since the pair of Ocarina and Majora, so it's not like a repeat of style is so surprising, especially when the sandbox gameplay is being carried over too. The only problem is it's been way too long since BotW. This should've landed in 2020 and another brand new game should be half way through development already.

>>506 >There's only been 3 mainline Zeldas since the pair of Ocarina and Majora Yeah and they've all been completely different and unique. Even Majora at least has an excuse of being made in under a year by a B team, and even at that it's a drastically different game. This shit is literally the exact same game, just a map randomizer executed. No graphical updates either, not that Shitch can do anything better but at least do something different. This isn't the first time they've been selling glorified DLC to cattle at full price of course.

>>507 Yeah it's pretty bad that I have to create an alternative reality to defend part of the situation. Oh well, I haven't had high expectations for a decade now.

>>508 voice acting ruined a great deal of appeal too

>>368 >gayming is stagnant, not dead it was dead 10 years ago, now it's decayed and a dust in the wind

>>368 >gayming is not dead LMAO

>>362 >Hogwarts Legacy

>>369 There was games 10 years ago that is the launch of a new generation of consoles. >>372 That dumb sound clip made me wanna pre order Howarts Legacy, mmh.

>>353 Not even their best fighting series.

>>353 I think Alpha has the best OST from that era, imo.

>>355 Zero is the best SF iteration.

>>354 nobody knows or cares

>>357 Good, that's why it's still not ruined.

I've never played the series, where should I start?

>>283 You can basically start with any game in the series. These games feels like they are like Final Fantasy where you don't need to know too much about past games to enjoy the new games. I started with Fire Emblem Awakening and really liked the series because it is easy to get into and to play. The modern games or the 3ds and switch games you can skip out on permadeath of characters or units that die in combat skirmishes. If you have a 3ds then Awakening and Echoes is pretty good, if you have a Switch then Three Houses is pretty darn good, also these games are a bit of waifub8.

Fire Emblem Engage 15 hours inn. I can be confident in some few things and those are that this is a good contender for muh personal goty this year and what it lacks in the beginning(waifub8) the game builds up in a nice way where one does not feel cheated. What I kinda think is the biggest problem is the Somniel mechanics or where you supposed to go for interaction with the characters, I feel that it is quite poor because for now(this might change the further I get into the game it might become like three houses) the interaction is quite limited and there is just 2 mini games because the fishing-bit isn't opened. So for now, how I interact is to get them up in the support level via either a combat trail, romantic dinner or gift them random things like horseshit(none of the characters like it when you gib them horseshit). Then there is going to bed and sleep and then a random NPC is going to wake you up.If this was another JRPG I might've felt cheated when it comes to the waifub8 interaction and the fwend simulation of this game so-far but I actually like the gameplay-part rather then the waifub8 interaction that is presented in the game, so now I don't feel that I have to change the waifub8score it is still a solid 6 out of 10. And some of the waifu's that is presented in later chapters or as side-quest are a nice 8/10 b8 with nice tiddies. The real meat and potatoes of the game is obviously the combat mechanics with the Emblem heroes and that the stages is in 3d so after each combat you can walk around in the stages and to interact with characters to get gibs and find gibs for weapon upgrades and other upgrade like the Emblems. Personally like this more than the whole Sominel-place interaction-bit area, the Sominel feels like they just put it there so that the people that are fans of Three Kingdoms can feel familiar with this new game. So to level up the emblem heroes, also the bigger the level is with the bond then you can inherent emblem heroes skills which is really nice way to mix things up. The engage mechanics at first it just seems like a gimmick that isn't really needed in the game because it is somewhat overpowered, and you are overpowered for 3 turns but without it the combat would've lasted maybe a few turns longer which would have felt more like a grind when you are wanting to level up some fags. Also the downgrade to make it just 1v1 instead of what Three houses did. makes the battle just feel more vicious and brutal in a strange way than what they really are, and the the sound design really shines because Nintendo is semi progressive, they have chosen to have both men and women voice the soldiers and bandits, so the death cries, and these death cries becomes like allot more brutal when Japanese women screams in agony which gives a nice tension to each battle,even when you have 6 characters that have engage on , this is real fun. Then the world-map of the game is really where the focus is since you can grind and obviously get to the next chapter and further the story, what is annoying is that you have to get to the Somniel or walking area of the game to giv gibs to each region while you git gibs from the grind that you did in the world map. So the gameplay is still a solid 7/10 and I don't think this will change later because it feels like a real video game package with solid gameplay.

>>340 Nice autism, would read again.

>>322 Sseth released a video on yewtube on the original but the racial selection is for the faction effects and it's far from an MMO. The art style is just the modernization of the originals, MMO just borrow from the same sources is all. >>314 >It looks like Mole and Rat humanoids are some new races in this game. Do you think this will shift the focus to some underground aspect?

>>327 >Sseth released a video

>>328 I'm just saying there's plenty of resources since clinking on the link or reading the OP was far too hard for anon.

>>327 <Sseth I will check video out. Thanks. <Moles and rats underground. Maybe it will have more underground aspects but there's always been a cave-crawling underground layer to most AOW maps as the Dwarves, Goblins, and Orcs operate underground. <MMO's draw from the same sources Yeah. Tolkien created modern fantasy. Then DND expanded the races and subraces: https://www.dndbeyond.com/races. And Magic the Gathering also draws from this. MTG and DND are both owned by Wizards of the Coast, which is owned by Hasbro.

So for anyone interested in this game before May, now is the time to catch up and play AOW 1-3. The first 2 games are very old but run on any computer due to their sprite graphics (but are tricky to get to work on modern Windows). Also, these games have a beautiful symmetry of underlying systems in the game that determine everything. Like the races have terrain bonuses or penalties that affect how fast or slow they move across those terrains. And they have race relations with other races. Some despise other races and that affects whether units on your side desert you and how their unit morale is affected. So if you capture a Goblin town with Elves, the Goblin town might revolt under Elf oppression because the evil Goblins hate the good Elves. And the Goblin units you produce from that town might abandon you. So you have to migrate the Goblins out and ship a new race in. Literal ethnic cleansing in a strategy game, which is based. The races have an good/neutral/evil alignment too. And they all balance each other out in a beautiful symmetry. I took these pics from the AOW 2 game manual to show these systems.
