Well, hello there, re/v/isionists and re/v/olutionaries! Why have you not watched the most GAMER anime ever yet?

Go watch it right now. It is hilarious. Chio is literally me frfr smh.

>>40191
watched it back when it was aired, idk, I prefer when anime references japanese things that I'm not 100% familiar with because it feels less mundane than mainstream western stuff. asobi asobase was from that same season and genre and it was just better

Chio was amazing. The anime was decent and the manga had a good ending. I used to have a giant fold of reactions just from the manga

>>40196
>I prefer when anime references japanese things that I'm not 100% familiar with
Anon, it's a GAMER anime, how can you even make a TRUE gamer anime without referencing popular games and/or mechanics?

I like humanoid species in fiction. I think the idea of humanity not existing as one genetically homogenous mass interesting, because we’ve been losing our diversity steadily for the past 150 thousand years. The rise of gene therapy and genetic transfer is further eroding any differences out of a need to survive new diseases and evolutions of old ones however this does predispose our species to getting increasingly simple with time.

Ogres, trolls, dwarfs, squats, and abhumans alike, I find these species and takes on alternate humans to be fun and creative in their own way—but not ogryns.

Unlike the trolls or the ogres, ogryns aren’t fat. They’re heavy and they’re built.

Ogryns are basically what ogres would be if power lifting was a common cultural practice. There what the orcs would be if strength was prioritized way more than it already is. Ogryns are terrifyingly strong. They can take on orcs easily and if you put an ogryn in a room with five ogres, you’d be begging the ogryn to go easy on their opponents.

Ogryns also carry some fucked up levels of firepower. If not for their feeble minds, an ogryn band can and would easily decimate a space marine legion and I’m not joking. There are excerpts taken from the books about “smart ogryns” whose minds were augmented to be the perfect servitors only to end up as the ultimate killing machines of the imperium.

A punch from an organ alone can split a trained man in half. Even the Astartes need to rely on implants or their power armour to hit someone with that kind of strength given their biology. An ogryn only needs their genetic heritage to kill with such efficiency.

Imagine if the entire guard was replaced with ogryns and servitors. Instead of just the galaxy, the imperium could probably take on the entire galactic supercluster given the sheer brutality of their infantry all without needing any special ships or WMDs.

I'm curious to see what would happen if a game with a phenomenal story and great combat, but with PS2-era graphics, got released. I wonder how well it would hold up against modern AAA games

America's Army was a highly realistic FPS simulator without any blood or gore where you play as a recruit into the US Army, done with open support and sponsorship by the US Army to introduce and inform people about the US Army so they could have recruits. Gameplay is slow due to realism and you don't actually fight or combat in any type of real conflict or engage in any real war against other forces that exist IRL.

damn I wish I could make games but my mind is very adverse to programming, sucks to be ISFP (sometimes)

>I think 360/PS3-era graphics are a good compromise
I think we picked at Xbone/PS4. PS4's Dreams even had a great alternative to RTX. And Quantum Break looked PHENOMENAL, man. That shit was insane. Still is.

I'd say that the 9th-gen AAA games can still look mindblowing, it's just that the visually impressive AAA games come out so rarely nowadays that you'll be waiting forever for the new release only for it to come out broken. And don't glorify PS2 and PS3 graphics: 99% of the most visually groundbreaking PS2 and PS3 games were racing games, military shooters and fighting games. That's it. Everything else looks dated nowadays.

Although honestly this particular scene with Aphrodite hits kinda hard ngl. It's still an exception to the rule, it's Sony's game after all.

GameStop is going completely crazy now. The CEO's complaining about Wokeness and DEI (of course it's that new term) and then he's going to sell off French and Canadian outlets. It seems that nature of capitalists and the rightwing are aligning, but this is more extreme than I thought it would be. Good thing not many people use game stop.

He directly called it socialism too.

CLEARLY they should've merged with bed bath & beyond.

The ceo has always been a scumbag. They're a dying company that was saved by the short squeeze. They have no future and are insanely overvalued. If you wanna see something funny check out r/superstonk, they unironically think it will be worth thousands per share

>>40048
From my understanding "GameStop" basically is not a proper business anymore and is being propped up by a meme stock cult. So it's not surprising that the CEO would pander to those kinds of people, the Venn diagram between meme stock idiots and anti-wokes is a circle.

>>40086
I wish I had your optimism.
My guess is we're gonna deal with at least 1000 more iterations if this crap.

Combat: more than well fixed
Graphics: fixed
Quests: fixed
Even dialogue was fixed using AI and decent voice acting by the modding community. Unfortunately, Skyrim’s level design cannot be fixed. Even worse, Skyrim’s level design is its biggest problem.
I have yet to find a mod author genuinely do anything about how boring exploring the map is and how hard it is to find anything without the in game compass and icon finders. The levels themselves have not changed in their design since daggerfall. Narrow corridors, cramped rooms, and room clutter still pollute all the spaces that should be dedicated for finding items and combat.
There are some mods that merely reduce the environmental clutter, but none do anything to address the trash level design itself. It’s so unfair man. Like fuck, Bethesda has studios full of developers that know how to design levels that are fun to play in.

Tbh these are the same critiques levelled against mid and above average Sonic games even if they get patched so as long as you're having fun does this really matter? Also, when designing levels one shouldn't step into the pitfalls of gamifying them if the game's aesthetic does not occomodate that like in the case of Doom and Mario. Thief 2014 suffers from this.

halfly related: has somebody of you kind comrades the latest edition (for Ck3 1.13) of elder kings 2?

I find almost everything on skymods or VK, but that one vanishes like a mystery. Will not by 100 dlcs from the Sw*des tho.

>>40127
Nah. My mod list focuses purely on enhancing the vanilla elements. I don’t change anything about the continent or in game weapons.

>>40126
So? Dark souls 2 has some of the goofiest level and world design and yet the designs create a unique “dream like” aesthetic that works pretty well for many fans.

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!
