Im making a thread about VNs because there isnt one on the catalogue and i wanna talk about my experience. I just finished danganronpa 2, which im not certain counts as a VN or if it's a point and click murder mystery social deduction game, and i think im pretty confident to say that it presents a pretty interesting moral dilemma. On one hand, the hope faction is pretty clearly a technocratic organization who obsesses over "Ultimates", or people who possess immense talent in a particular field or study, for example the world's best scientist, or the world's best doctor. It is revealed in the story of goodbye despair that before despair took over, hope's peak academy created a method of artificially forcing someone to become extremely talented, which dialectically had the potential to equalize mankind and develop the talents of anyone, which would make the idea of meritocracy, or ruling over others due to better talents or knowledge, completely obsolete. Despair on the other hand spawned as a result of the mass movement of reserve students, malcontents who became disaffected with the idea that people with talent mattered more than the rest, since hope's peak academy was formed to research peoples' talents and how to cultivate them.
I think it would be pretty easy to side with the latter out of frustration, especially if you're talentless like i am, but i think the idea that talent could be forcibly cultivated out of someone who never realized it before would be the "productive forces" argument. Not to mention that junko destroyed civilization, which is dialectically bad.
Your turn to die is a great game too, very similar to danganronpa on a surface level, i finished it a while ago and im glad i played it. Free btw. Anyone got visual novel recommendations? I need a weeb fix.

I’ve been reading Subahibi and I’m probably about halfway done I’m towards the end of Looking Glass Insects and I just want to say congrats SKA-DI the h scenes are easily as uncomfortable as Full Metal Daemon Muramasa. I’d say so far a 8/10 I bet if you haven’t read Kant or even Descartes the whole phenomena vs thing in the thing itself distinction would blow your little weeb mind. The mystery seems interesting I’m looking forward to see how it pans out.

I’m also about 12 hours into Utawarerumono and the TRPG gameplay grew on me. Hakuowlo is a great MC (historically progressive bourgeois revolutionary and great manTM), Oboro the homie, and Eruruu is best girl because she’s a BL enjoyer. I heard the sequels are even better but so far 7/10.

Anyone here plays otomes? I prefer them to male audience orientated dating games, they tend to be less outwardly coomerish while at the same time incredibly horny. And I like the look into what women find hot, and apparently we are not so different after all, just now started with Bewitching Sinners, one of the characters is literally a virgin slut, and other the first dialogue after meeting him has option to comment on his well developed chest.

>>37830
a friend of mine plays them and tells me about them, so I get my experience secondhand

>>37830
Please make some recommendations. I wonder about women's aproach to porn too, but every otome i've tried was just boring.

>Saya
I just played it anon as you recommended it. Fantastic VN. Fuminori is such an interesting character. [spoiler]I don't know whether to pity, despise or even admire him for his actions. He was clearly driven mad and twisted, and Saya feeds into this madness, and in turn Fuminori turns Saya even more malevolent. I am not even sure whether or not if Omi didn't look up would've changed the trajectory, as the birthing would have been inevitable at that point. [/spoiler]

One of the things I’ve found goofy about extraterrestrial cities is the idea that need to have restraints on how far they can sprawl—they don’t. Darktide’s tertium really doesn’t need to end at some arbitrary border. The city wasn’t built on a life-filled planet like earth where environmentalism matters. If anything, it’s weirder knowing that tertium isn’t like coruscant or the mega city from blame!.

Imaging what dark tide wowild be like. A planet spanning hive city with forges, factories, and towers sprawling across the entire planets surface with tunnels and basement complexes digging beneath the surface.

Would make for a far cooler game. Obviously the devs wouldn’t allow that since having even one planet like that would make the imperium even more comically overpowered but fuck, I’d play a game like dark tide with blame aesthetics.

stop making these threads, nobody cares

Non fictional books discuss hard facts or ideas. imaginary books focus on giving readers the experience of being in a character’s views whether that character is a real person or an imaginary one made by the author. Games are an amazing art form. They give players a chance to experience what it’s like to be in a moving world.

The best games are the most immersive games. They make you really feel as if you were actually just another part of the world you were in and we’re not just interacting with it. The player really feels as if there’s a world that exists beyond control.

Good games actualize materialism.

It shismed. The libs became disillusioned with liberalism and became leftists, and the rightoid libs has less center libs to appease so they adjusted to the demographic changes. Now you have the leftist gaming community playing indies and AA's and the smaller rightoid gaming community playing AAA's.

Honestly a lot of games don't really need health bars, often all you need is a state machine or just instakills.

I hate this genre of videos where the point can be summed in a single sentence (aiming down sights reduces game difficulty and complexity by separating movement and shooting, player only has to do one thing at the time), and then proceed to restate it a dozen times to stretch the thing to 20 minutes.

>>40097
>and then proceed to restate it a dozen times to stretch the thing to 20 minutes
I think you're oversimplifying this. The author just illustrates his point with examples.

Crafts and our interactions with crafting are working class labor materialism. In the same way that bourgeois liberals scoff at "women learning useless underwater basket weaving", they also scoff at "people playing Minecraft" which similarly doesn't have an obvious, direct capital accumulation profit motive.
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=video+games+as+craft
>This article repurposes Campbell’s (2005) concept of ‘the craft consumer’ to generate a new theory of video game consumption, which proposes that we identify the material practices typically associated with craft labour within acts of digital play. We draw on case studies from popular and community-driven video game titles including Dark Souls and Super Mario Maker to make our argument, suggesting that a grasp of the controls initiates material practices, like repetition, which provide the groundwork for craft skill. It is from this position that we argue that consumers initiate a craft-like ‘dialogue’ (Sennett R (2008) The Craftsman. London: Yale University Press.) with the game’s design that reveals the experimental and creative nature of video game consumption. Importantly, these case studies provide evidence to meet with Campbell’s definition of ‘craft consumption’ as an (1) ‘ensemble activity’ and (2) as a ‘collection’ of handmade things. The result is a better understanding of the consumer as someone who initiates experiences of skilled labour and creative self-expression through the craft of playing a video game. This article presents a new understanding of the (gaming) consumer whilst also challenging the idea that the experience of ‘craft consumption’ is typically reserved for the middle or professional classes, as Campbell maintains.

>flaw one: jumping with a gun
This should be obvious to any game developer, but it’s quite alarming knowing how many games calling themselves realistic freely allow people to just jump around with a gun as if people just do that. You know how many people who can’t jump in general? The idea of seeing some random probably half emeciated dude jump around as if their fucking athlete in a milsim is ridiculous. Like fuck, even dark souls of all stupid games managed to understand how goofy jumping is in its settings.

>flaw two: forgetting that combat exists beyond the front lines

Believe it or not, there’s a special weapon called ‘artillery.’ The idea that any modern fight doesn’t involve a dude supporting at the back is horribly ignorant of real warfare. I actually find it fun to support friends with some machine gun or artillery fire while they’re assaulting a point.

>flaw three: forgetting to allow players to freely

Again, a little alarming knowing how many self proclaimed realistic shooters forget that people in real life normally give themselves a place to come back and resupply to if shit gets tough. I really do not understand why games like arma or insurgency manage to fuck something like that up. Like hell, even war thunder has refueling stations in the simulator modes.

>flaw four: vehicle combat being always goofy for some reason

There are days where I find fucking battlefield and halo APC fights to be more realistic than the shit you’d get in games like war thunder or hell let loose. It doesn’t take a lot to make mechanized combat realistic. A lot of milsims forget that vehicles normally have a lot of momentum and can accelerate to really fast speeds. Driving a tank really should not feel easy or as fast as it is in these games. I’d also add in that the unlimited fuel really adds to the goofiness. The same logic also applies for aircraft and drones.

>design it yourself genius
Just add parkour. Picrel.

From the sounds of things OP you should just play Squad since it doesn't have most of the issues you described.

Why did you make this thread again

>buy milsim
>start campaign
>sent to front line hotspot with lots of action instead of being assigned to guard a septic tank in some base in a country you can't pronounce

I was playing the newest battlefield a while ago and I just kept getting killed by an enemy that I couldn’t even locate. And that kind of got me thinking of how much I actually hate “realistic” shooters and how nobody really wants to play realistic shooters, people love jerking off to the idea, but let’s be honest nobody wants to play that shit. Even the “realistic” where you play as a nameless side character you are a total badass!



 

It actually looks like a pretty good game after skimming this video. I hope the combat will be more dangerous and punchy though and that the quest/dialogue aspect of the game which wasn't the focus the vid will be good.
Planned to release for September 6th, I think I'll pirate it on day one, or whenever empress does her magic if it's under Denuvo.
Well I would need a better PC, whenever I thought about upgrading my decade old machine to play releasing AAA titles such as Cyberpunk or Callisto Protocol I ended up not doing it because those games were shit, most of the big games recently were shit actually, hope Starfield breaks the trend.

Is Starfield the new Sonic '06? Because it literally repeats that game's flaws: it was very ambitious but came out completely fuckin' broken. Now, I haven't tried the game with 9000+ mods but when it comes to the vanilla game it's completely unacceptable. No matter what your opinion is on Skyrim, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky we can all agree their vanilla versions are a thousand times better than the dogshit that are Fallout 76 and Starfield. Seriously, just because Cyberpunk released in such a state doesn't mean this game had to copy Cyberpunk. And CDPR was actually fixing the fucking game. A big F goes to all the madlads who pre-ordered this excuse of a game on consoles, I'm sorry, my dudes… 😞

>>40051
>Fallout 76
right now it's unironically better than no man's sky,unless you really love procedural generation and shitty event "challenges" with a dozen half bake gameplay loops that barely interact with each other

Did they make the base building fun? I played on launch and there was almost no reason to make a base and there was nothing to decorate them with.

>>40051
ok let's be fair, starfield was nowhere near as bad as sonic 06 even at launch

>>40054
>starfield was nowhere near as bad as sonic 06 even at launch
Proof? Starfield also has loading screens and glitches. And without loading screens and constant glitches '06 is simply a better game than the more polished Sonic Forces, it just is.

Never thought about the “I’m going to make your favourite franchise mainstream” phenomenon like that. Also never thought that it would be the bourgeoisie themselves who forced people to despook.

You see, the reason why night city is such a shithole is because everyone is mean to each other. Just like in Los Angeles, everyone in might city thinks that they’re a fucking king that doesn’t need to be polite or show humility towards others. No one in night city shows any empathy or respect towards each other, which makes it easy for the corporate rats to extract money from everyone in the city.

>same difference
No? You're misusing the two terms. Even if solipsism is idealist, saying that reactionaries are solipsist just because they're idealist is like saying socdems are Marxists just because they're leftist. It's just illiterate.

Anyway, the idealism of solipsism depends on how deep of a rabbit hole you go. Soft solipsism is just a broad application of scepticism really, it's nothing that weird like Hyperboreanism or whatever the fuck.

>>39732
Honestly, most modern day solipsist have the same personality as the average reactionary anyways.

>>39732
yeah its the other way around, that idealism is solipsist. comes from lenins mec, he says that idealism and vulgar mechanical materialism, which he considers crypto-idealism, both logically collapse into solipsism. its of course a polemic and a bit of a reach but he is basically saying anyone who doesn't agree with him is necessarily a solipsist. Hes basically saying that you have to believe in an external physical world, and that it is understandable through reason, otherwise your only grounding for reality is through the thoughts in your head, you can't know if everyone else is p-zombies or trust their claims/judgement and the world could be an illusion of a demiurge if you are only grounded internally. Hes basically just getting really mad at people who claim to be materialists but are not dialectical for claiming that sense experience is the foundation of reality because it is grounded in the individual, but hes also not wrong.

>>39746
Saying that idealism necessarily collapses into solipsism isn't the same as saying idealism is solipsist. Rather, it's a claim that idealism and objective truth are incompatible, something that will drive reactionaries really mad.

I fucking hated the Edgerunners anime. I'd rather they adapt the comics Big City Dreams, Trauma Team, and Blackout into one anthology film. Cause they all eschews the romanticized view of cyberpunk that Edgerunners (and the game itself) gave.

I love my screen getting blurry and bloody when I get hit. I love all the little interaction animations. I love having a first person view model with animations. I love having bullet physics. I love having realistic AI with realistic firearms. I love having missiles fly and fall at realistic speeds. I love modern military uniforms in post apocalyptic settings. I love drug visuals and being able to bash open locks.

Games are experiences

At roughly 1:40 talking about a Update that adds some cars for GT7
>Please add more hypercars, koenigsegg or GT3 cars uwu
Fuck i hate them. These people are the reason why nowadays racing games suck so fucking much. Yes, sure please add more le expensive shit cars that nobody will ever be able to afford in real life. Also literally the biggest reason why GT7 cars list (more like shit list) feels so fucking underwhelming is because of these fucking overpriced 900hp speed turds which occupy like 80% of that games cars list. Yes please, give us another Shitgatti Fartron or another variant of the McFarten Fart1. Every shitty new racing game has to have a Lamborgenital for some fucking reason. "Ohhh what? You want some variety and le peasant cars like in the old games? Fuckk you, heres another variant of the Mercedass SLS AMG (AMG standing for Anal Motherfuckin Gayfuck. Fuck.

As already said: The solution is to give different cars different distance requirements for winning the race. The finishing line is the same everyone, but not where they start. Devs for semi-realistic racing games have no creativity in them, so I guess this has to happen in real life before it can happen in a video game.

2 guys, 2 cars. One car ancient, one car brand-new. The guys both try out each car and then negotiate for the race who will drive which car and what the distance compensation for the weaker car is going to be. Once they reached their agreement, the race can start.

Old NFS were goated yeah. I think I played through the first Underground just with the starter Golf GTI. Was fun. I also played through Forza Horizon 3, including all the dlc. Was meh. Horizon is generally overrated as fuck. It's essentially the Ubisoft formula applied for racing games. Ton's of busywork. You get tons of cars, especially hypercars and they never feel rewarding. I think when I was only about 25% done with the game I already had a fully modded Lamborghini and played through the whole game with that. The game shits you a ton of cars out but you never care. However what really sucks is if your goal is to get every car in the game, even though you might already have like 95% of the cars in your garage once you are basically done with every race etc.., the last 5% each cost like 10.000.000. credits and you would need to grind for that shit really hard. I think the best moneymaking method was like a 8 hour race (in realtime obvs) which gives you maybe like 20.000.000 credits. I remember that I was already burnt out at this point and so I bought the ingame currency with actual money. Was not proud of it but at that point I really didn't care anymore. And the funny thing is that those cars never interested me in the first place, I think I didn't even drive one of those cars once. Nah, you know what, fuck that game.

Black Box's NFS and Criterion's Burnout were the shit. EA ain't doin' shit like that no more, ALL MY FAVORITE FRANCHISES ARE KILLED OFF! 😭 Who's gonna bring back the classic Sims? Who's gonna bring back SSX? Fuck you EA! Give me back my favorite series, you corporate cucks!

They murdered Black Box! They murdered Maxis! They castrated Criterion too! All ruined. Forever. And when the NFS series was starting to find its lost charm with NFS 2015 THEY THREW IT ALL AWAY AND STARTED FROM SCRATCH! These mfs never fucking learn, they introduced the classic mode to Apex Legends and now it's all gone! They keep trying to fix The Sims 4 while this game should have been put out of its misery a long time ago! I hate this company.

I've been having a lot of fun with the new Tokyo Xtreme Racer, although it's really annoying most of the cars I wanted don't unlock until you beat the game.

After playing nothing but sims and simcades for years I've now been playing Virtua Racing and games that look like it. Funny how that works
