>>8604 What is the dark souls of dark souls?

>>8605 Demon Souls.

>>8606 But it's the easiest one.

>>8607 exactly

>>6504 >I really need to just so one fucking thing that isn't shit in my life. Excellent. Really looking forward to seeing your results Anon. Keep moving forward!

>>6507 I'll just keep moving foward, till I can draw like a jap.

>>6509 That's the spirit Anon. Please keep us updated on your progress here. Cheers. :)

>>6505 Yeah they really are the one trick pony.

remember when games were made by 50 people, those were the good times

>>2765 brown?

>>2761 >That nobody who isn't part of your immediate generations is going to give a single fuck about any of the video games Good. Normalfags should be gatekept out of gaming at any cost.

>>3416 >>3442 If zoomers won't play Deus Ex that's their loss. If Alpha/Omegas will not boot up Shenmue in their lifetime then it's a crying shame for them. All I'm going to do is curate my own things that I like and hope that a few amongst the newer generations are already interested before they come in from the cold to look at what I've got, and maybe learn a thing or two they didn't know before. Maybe most won't do that, maybe it's poppy playtime/fortnite/FNAF all the way, I don't know. But most people won't go to a museum regardless of what generation you're talking about. Gaming is one of the most self-preserving hobbies you could choose to pick on in terms of culture that gets passed down and in terms of surviving upheavals. I refuse to doom over it. We'll be culturally bereft of many more important things before we're left bereft of some of the most basic recreational activities like that.

>>8469 Modern gayming has literally nothing to do with real gaming. It's like the difference between a PS1 and an old pong console, sure they're technically both "videogames" but not really.

>>8472 But these companies making "the current thing" are making decreasingly low-tier level of slop. Are you sure even the ignorant and culturally bereft are to never notice this? These companies, they're beginning to lose money slop over fist... Do you think the fortnite character skins market should "progress" in perpetuity? Take the film industry as a parallel example. Kids might start to notice this crop of films suck shit from Goldsteinberg's ass. Said film companies may stand to make a little bit less profit. As for the millennial generation becoming a cultural irrelevance, it's worth reminding OP that due to the nature of millennials having fewer kids, millennials are the majority demographic after boomers turning from retirees to deceased. It's said that kids dictate the buying habits of adults through pester power and things, but it's mostly been about the fact the younger generation outnumber their adult peers, yet now that dynamic has reversed. So if you want your "product" to carry the broadest appeal and milk the most monied groups, then millennials are the audience you should be pandering toward. That we *all* bear irrelevance compared to the genuine well-to-do is a little bit besides the point OP had for us. Sure, we'll all be told to eat the ESG. Even if that ESG is corporate-facing and not customer-facing, any companies awash with ESG cannot help themselves from contaminating and reaching their end product(s). So, in some bizarre way I'm being an optimist. Soon Porsche will not only delete from history the Christ the Redeemer landmark (which the zoomers won't care one jot about) but the product(s) they make will turn from stagnatory, to regressive, to dead-to-market in a reasonable, single-generation length of time. Let's see these kids buy/rent these products that functionally don't work and no amount of DLC aftersales will fix them.

Point and click adventure games are my jam. I wrote about some lesser known ones here if you're interested: >>407 >>592 >>2982 >>5121 >>5921

It's a shame this genre died out. Would have been cool to see it done with powerful modern graphics.

>>7958 just imagine what you can do with fixed camera nowadays, the level of detail on par of pre-rendered backgrounds from the 90s but all in-game and interactive. Alas, we must pander to the lowest common denominator.

>>7959 Or have pre rendered locations with modern tech, the level of layers, parallax scrolling etc., would be unprecedented. REmake looked fantastic in what 2002, it's been 20 years and nobody tried to do that again, fucking shame...

>>7958 it would play itself with modern gaming

>>5125 I think it's partly because of the improvement of graphics. It used to be possible to forget that you had anime children in your party. Now it's not. Hard to suspend disbelief and feels kind of gross even. Also way too many female characters in modern JRPGs.

>>5128 >way too many female characters in modern JRPGs That's supposed to be a bad thing?

>>3425 i still don't know how they did the watermelon cutting, it's impressing even to this day

My go-to example for something like this would be what became Oracle of Ages, and Oracle of Seasons. Originally, they were supposed to be THREE games, with each one themed around a different part of the Triforce, and back in the day, hearing that got me pretty hyped. I was pretty disappointed however, when it was announced that they were reducing the games to just two because it was too difficult to work out a password system for linking 3 games as opposed to 2. The game based on the Triforce of Power would have focused more on combat gameplay. The game focused on the Triforce of Wisdom would have focused more on puzzles in dungeons. And the game focused on the Triforce of Courage would be focused more on interacting with characters to progress, along with having Ocarina of Time's day/night system. Honestly, it all sounds pretty awesome, and maybe it was too ambitious of a task to complete. If only they could have worked out the password system. But it's this reason that I never had an interest in Oracle of Seasons, or Oracle of Ages, because these were watered down compromises that we had to settle for instead of the way cooler idea of 3 games based on the Triforce.

>>7197 yeah that's pretty cool but ultimately they're just near identical portable games so it's not that impressive

>>7832 It's nothing interesting, we already knew E3 is dead from earlier this year if not from 2022.

>>7833 Thanks Anon.

>>7832 >mind just sharing the open link? get a vpn

>>7848 nice

>>7820 It's still complete shit. It's just that what came after was somehow even worse.

>>7822 >It's still complete shit I disagree. Though it's very lackluster and disappointing in many ways, it's the last Final Fantasy that anyone actually wanted to make over at SE and that people were excited about.

somebody put them out of their misery

>>7842 soon

Will you buy a PS5 to save her?

>>6329 Can't get to that behind Cuckflare Anon. What was it about?

>>6339 Dunno tbh. But the editors of the page decided to put Deshawn Travon's head in as if the nigger was an important insight into solving the question. Therefore >snopes says: FAKE NEWS

>>6345 But doesn't it look like the negro is using the keyboard as a hitting rock like a primordial ape, not knowing what to actually do with it? A very accurate depiction tbh.

Do you miss MMOs?

But what if my soul was trapped in the wrong body, but then it turned out it was the right body after all?

>>7717 There is the site "Based mods" https://basedmods.eth.link/browse/

>>7725 Based! Thanks Anon, may it soon make Nexus irrelevant.

>>7726 it already is

>>7725 nice

>>7163 This just tells me you aren't sensitive enough to political correctness. It was the beginning of what is now obvious to everyone now.

>>7164 >I didn't like hearing her drone on and on and lead Gordon around She's barely in the game. You meet her like 2 times. >They also made her completely damage resistant Well yeah she's a story NPC, what were they supposed to do, make her killable in-game?

>>7166 >what were they supposed to do, make her killable in-game? You're part of the problem.

>>7163 Alyx a cute.

>>7167 >>7166 I will clarify. First, the design shouldn't force you to be in the situation where you have to be lectured in a room for 30 minutes to progress the story and told exactly what to do. >what were they supposed to do, make her killable in-game? Like I said, you shouldn't be in that situation in the first place. Second, why not? Just make it a game over. At least you would have the freedom. The first game made pretty much every npc killable. All of the scientists and security guards were (if I remember correctly), even when they were talking. There was a beginning exposition part where you couldn't, but it made sense because you were still doing your job at that point.
