Most of the fighting games still played today were developed in the 90s and as a result, their characters reflect the cultural contexts of that era as they were largely inspired by martial arts films and combat sports, Paul Phoenix is a perfect example, He embodies the early American full-contact karate, which is a mishmash of certain elements from basic karate that American servicemen in Japan picked up with Army boxing. His style features basic boxing techniques combined with backfists and karate-type lunge punches, reminiscent of legends such as Bill Wallace and Joe Lewis.

Street Fighter is the better game and that's all that matters to me

Well, both Street Fighter and Tekken are supposed to be semi-realistic, with all real martial arts represented that aren't bullshido (granted, you can claim that Chinese martial arts are bullshido too but let's not start a flame war here). So of course you're gonna see karate and boxing. And what do you mean "anachronistic?" The tournaments featuring these martial arts are still being organized. Do you mean "old?" Most effective martial arts techniques were invented centuries ago (muay thai's history literally spans for more than a millenia), you're not gonna see a new martial art pop up every year if it's not bullshido.

Games glorify violence for the spectacles and push pro-violent ideas on people along with multiple misconceptions of violence. I won’t blame video games for fascist scum to do bad things, but I won’t absolve violent video games and violent media any responsibility in misinforming gamers on violence either.

Action slop is slop because the fighters in action lack self preservation and preparation. Just compare how much less views an artillery or tank fight gets compared to any melee combat or gun fight. Even though the former is used much more often, it isn’t as interesting to proles.

I think milsims like arma and hell let loose get action right. There’s more focus on teamwork, long ranged combat, safety, and some level of maturity about what you’re doing. Gamers become much more encouraged to respect other people and not view themselves narcissistically like what self insert action slop does all the time. Ironically, I think the most realistically violent games do the most to discourage people from participating or consuming violent media.

I’d rather than be educated on violence and avoidant of it than be a bloodthirsty fascist barbarian.

>Cod is genuinely pro us propaganda
This is a genuine criticism of CoD but it has nothing to do with it being unrealistic. Milsims sure are not the opposite of CoD in that regard, go play Spec Ops: the Line or something.

what is ur favorite single player fps franchise!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

I just started playing the Halo games for the first time and they're my new favorite shooty single player games!!! I was SHOCKED with how much better Halo 2 is compared with the first one, and I was SHOCKED once again with the generational leap on Halo 3. I'm still in the beginning of Halo 3, and I'm excited to see how the next ones stack up. they better not disappoint!!!!!!!!!

I mean, from what I remember, all you do during the whole games is strafe and shoot. The AI isn't very sophisticated, so most of the challenge is dodging projectiles, and there isn't a lot of strategy to it. But then again, I never finished an OG Doom game because I suck at them, so I wouldn't know.

>>39517
>all you do during the whole games is strafe and shoot
<all you do in platformers is run and jump
<all you do in fighting games is punch and kick
<all you do in point-and-click games is point and click
<all you do in rhythm games is press buttons to the rhythm
Genius.
>I never finished an OG Doom game because I suck at them
Git gud. And stop playing on baby difficulty, no wonder you find these games repetitive.

>>39518 lmao i knew you'd hit with that. It may be reductive to say that all FPS games are just strafing and shooting, but if there's one game where this description almost accurately applies it's Doom, wouldn't you agree? I mean, you can't even jump. And I'm not saying this to roast Doom games, I think they're great, but not my cup of tea

>>39519
>if there's one game where this description almost accurately applies it's Doom, wouldn't you agree?
I think that description fits CoD better. Doom is more like Hotline Miami meets Gunstar Heroes meets… I dunno, Pac-Man or something. Doom Eternal even has that weapon combination mechanic Gunstar Heroes is so renowned for. And the inability to jump is more of an engine limitation if anything.

>>39494
I enjoyed Half Life 2 when it came out. Yes I played all the previous games too. I don't really play single player shooters.



 

Let us talk and exchange about the music of video games, in this case, the music of Far Cry 5; how come ubislop came up with such great songs…
Anyways feel free to post good music and songs of video games.

Have you managed to free yourself of your nostalgia biases? Let's perform a test. Think of some games in series or franchises that you you experienced first as a kid before trying out earlier entries. Are you capable of recognizing any of the earlier entries as superior games?

Fallout 2 is more immature and edgy, relies more on references than Fallout 1, perfect if you're a teenager but in the end I feel it's the inferior work of art because of that, despite having more stuff. Also the Master and its army are better antagonists than the enclave.

Bf2 was great, just raking up bots and seeing how long you can last is chill.

The only thing I'm really nostalgic for is how in the 90s tech progress created a situation where games were actually improving in a lot of ways, with the rapid increases in memory, storage, and processing meaning sequels actually improved on old systems and added new ones. Not to look back with too rosy of a tint in my glasses but the low cost of tech and development and the lack of corporate domination really did let video gaming flourish.

Honestly, it's surprising that something like "Marvel Rivals" hasn't happened before. In retrospect, it seems obvious. A basic hero-shooter format, but with an established and expansive universe, with literally hundreds of variations for skins.

>So is this game just overwatch but with Marvel characters?
Honestly, it looks more like Overwatch x Fortnite because you play in third person and becaues the game has a huge variety of gameplay styles. For example, Spider-Man isn't just a Mei clone, he's a DPS character who relies on hand-to-hand combos 'n' shit. I really expected the devs to just make him shoot his web and call it a day but it looks like they tried to transfer his gameplay from Marvel's Spider-Man directly into the game.

It's more similar to Marvel's Avengers. Just… good.

The gameplay is completely different, it's genuinely really exciting. Characters have way more powers, which allows for insane and fun things to happen.

ITT discuss custom rules for tabletop, card, board, or pen & paper games.

What house rules do you use?
What official rules do you ignore?
Are you cooking up anything currently?

I am heavily considering going gridless with my D&D group since most of them are wargamers and familiar with using miniatures, combat phases, rulers and templates.
The basic idea is bases touching is melee range, polearms have 1" reach only if they are not engaged. For blast spells: models who's mini is fully engulfed take full damage, half for partial (precluding half dmg for successful saves). The rest is simple conversion: 5 feet = 1"
We'll see how it goes.

>>39426
Lots of people find gridless play to be very freeing. You might just prefer to eyeball melee range, since the whole idea is to not stick to super rigid measurements. Minis won't necessarily be on a consistent scale either, so leaving wiggle room for interpretation can help there as well.

>>39427
Good points. I'll definitely be open to some wiggle room then.

>>39423
I have the communism wild card. What it does is the same as purple dragon in rayman uno, where everyones hands are shuffled and dealt equally to everyone. It is devastating after you have picked up like 30 cards and then play it when someone has uno. It is pure evil and prolongs the game into a maoist PPW.

What do you use to run Windows games on Linux? Vanilla Wine, Bottles, Steam?
12 posts omitted.

Lutris
Game library manager with community scripts for running stuff on Wine if need be
Connects to your Steam and GOG libraries

Proton. There's only like 2 games that I have that needed more than 1 minute of setup with it, gaben did a good job

Check out app like Bottles, playing Linux games on Steam is easy (just use Proton in Steam app) and as for older games on Linux check out jc141 torrents. Works like a charm.

Steam and Lutris
Lutris lets you use different builds of wine/proton/-ge without steam for pirated games and is convenient for all those special cases when you need special libraries.
