>a violently beautiful lady😍🥰ed out game like deltarune
Was it really? I know how the fanbase is but if you play the game casually I don't remember it being that in your face. There was the gay guards. They wouldn't care about the fish/dino lesbian ship. The mew mew thing came later and was a secret. Maybe I forgot it's been awhile.

Anyway this reminds me of when people wondered how so many MLP fans could be right-wing ancaps/fascists when the show supposedly goes against that. It's funny because when it 1st came out some conservative media called it feminist propaganda, then some years later right-wing fans said it was based because it had monarchy and ethnostates. I also remember some lefty claiming it was conservative catnip because of the rural, semi-pre industrial setting. Lefties can ONLY love cities, industry, and pollution, okay?

>>47750
Oops nevermind for some reason my dumb brain read deltarune as undertale. Even then I don't see why they'd care about the susie/noelle thing either. I haven't played the latest chapter yet tho.

People on this site are so obsessed with looking clever that they'll twist themselves into pretzels trying to frame "why do queerphobes like a game stuffed with unambiguously queer characters" as a ridiculous question lmao.

tbqh based on Mother 3 he seems like a vibes-based anticapitalist who wants to RETVRN to an imagined past where everything was simple, what Marx/Engels called "reactionary socialistm", looking backwards, not forwards

>>47752
A lot of anti-gay people don't tend to care about lesbian stuff tho unless they think the chars are ugly.

TLOU2 vastly improved on and fixed all that you're complaining about for TLOU1's gameplay btw. TLOU2 is probably the best third person shooter ever made gameplay-wise, but unfortunately the story shit the bed so it will never be as fondly remembered as the first.

>>47738
>TLOU2 is probably the best third person shooter ever made gameplay-wise
I haven't played the second one so I couldn't say, and I'm not going to shell out 50 burgerbucks just to find out. maybe if it ever goes on sale… 10 bucks max.

>>47737
But there are, I mentioned Mirror's Edge which was released almost 20 years ago. But I can think of a few others. But god damn I'm sick of crafting, leveling, grinding, "character progression" systems (number go up). I know a few recent games that avoid doing this, but they're either not very challenging or they're outright walking simulators.
Something I consider "good" game design is where a challenge is rewarded with an even bigger challenge. Or maybe I'm too puzzle-brained/oldschool for what gaming has become nowadays.

>>47741
When I think "modern game" I think something that was made in the last 5 years, tops. As you said, Mirror's Edge is something like 20 years old, thus it's not modern by any stretch of the imagination. At any rate, you say there are games like this in existence, but nothing comes to mind for me, aside from maybe Hollow Knight/Silksong or Blasphemous I and II, because those games require the player to "git gud" enough to defeat bosses and explore the environment by using upgrades and equipment to avoid certain death, but by the very nature of how "Metroidvanias" work, they still feature character progression in various forms, whether it's exp grind or the acquisition of new weapons and abilities. This is why I said you're not really going to find a game that doesn't feature these things, and you sort of have to narrow down your list of objections to in turn accept a larger list of games you might be interested in playing.

Here, five modern games I think you might be interested in, that are popular and at least 5 to 10 years old:
>Hitman World of Assassination
There's 47 flavors of murder, true, but 47's entire arsenal is more or less unnecessary, because 47 can kill his target with his bare hands, and all that variety exists primarily for variety's sake. Plus there are challenges you can do that make things interesting; One of the challenges I remember is that you have to equip your weapon at all times, and if you unequip it, you have like 20 seconds to equip it again or you automatically fail the mission. This is challenging because the guards and other NPCs will notice you carrying it and you could blow your cover or be forced into open combat, which ruins any stealthy approach. Obviously you can circumvent this challenge by wearing an appropriate disguise, but how about you try not to do that?

>The Forest
It's an open world survival game with crafting and collectibles, but for the most part you're as strong as you'll ever be from the outset. You need certain equipment to fight against certain enemies, and the acquisition of that equipment mostly requires exploration in a hostile world full of enemies that can appear at any time and murk you. Therefore, it pays to know when to engage and when to entire avoid combat. The learning curve at the outset, like most games, Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>47742
>Hitman WoA
Have looked it up and am interested in trying it out.
>The Forest
Played it and loved both the co-op experience and the inventory system which discourages hoarding and was a good indicator of what you actually needed.
>DOS2
Played that one too and enjoyed both singleplayer and co-op. Even if it still has the same issues I mentioned.

Good luck finding enough ram to make Crysis run in this economy

>>47673
the recommended specs are like 2GB of RAM lol

>>47675
The remastered ask for 12

>>47677
>Playing demasters
ngmi

>>47677
well then dont play that

>>47642

a story that tied better to the black mesa incident, a much more darker atmosphere, iirc there was like a way bigger ravenholm section which has been bouncing around between remakes and episodes and idk if anyone's working on it atm, there was the whole Borealis section, a ton more weapons, you can see a lot of it on the 20th anniversary documentary but there were also a bunch of leaks around the time, concept art, scrapped content found around, alpha-beta footage from the Source 1.5 engine.

First time posting, just found this board, I'm making a coop shooter about shooting an occupying state yay.
Can anyone educate me on this board? I read the history but is it growing? should it be? Will normal people think I'm based or cringe for posting here?

>>47625
It's a tiny board. If you post good work in progress, it's not cringe, no matter where you post it. If you post shitty work in progress you can cancel the cringe simply by acknowledging the shitty state it is in.

>>47626
I mean my initial reaction, or rather, expectation would be it's a board where no one is a loser and everyone has girlfriends or whatever but if you think there is some cringe particle here I'd like to know more.
Today I worked on POM bullet holes

>>47625
board has been stagnant for a while but it should be growing because you can actually talk to sane people about politics here unlike basicaly anywhere else. plus we have some side boards like this one.

>>44989
voxels are largely an overhyped meme. they definitely have use cases, especially for stuff like what minecraft does, but replacing entity models with voxels is wildly non-performant

>>47647

50/50

there are games where they fit and games where they don't and also objects that benefit from it and objects that don't

have you seen this?

>>46979 cod has been slop since fucking black ops 2, but at least games up until cold war had a spine to them and criticized the industrial complex and warmongering, now it's just "hurr hurr let's fight the commies" without a hint of irony or anything, it's mind-numbing garbage made for people like tectone

>>46979
CoD has been abysmal dogshit post BO2 and its "narrative" took a straight nose dive after Cod 4. I mean, the campaigns for the most part are just over the top schlock and literally is the 1/3rd of the game literally no one cares about. Its like watching porn for the story. Its literally "operator culture" capshit that won't even last a few years of relevance due to being an online only game for the 2/3rds ppl actually give a shit about multiplayer and zombies.

>>47620
COD 4 had a shit campaign as well.
>DURR WE MUST INVADE THE MIDDLE EAST BECAUSE…ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES IS ALLIED TO RUSSIA
>WE NEED TO INFILTRATE INTO RUSSIA AND INTERVENE IN THEIR CIVIL WAR BECAUSE…WE JUST DO OK????
in retrospect everything to do with ukraine was predicted by cod4 in the sense that westoids are retarded and incapable of stopping their governments and special forces from constantly fucking up other countries

>>47572
>Also every single CoD villain is basically in the right. Their grievances against the US and NATO are more than justified, but the writers always throw in some “let’s nuke New York” plot point to make them irredeemable.
yes this is the standard trick with all liberal fiction.

>>47635
Ken Levine lost a Twitter argument to the woke crowd and tried to fix Daisy with retcons through the Burial At Sea DLCs. After Israel is destroyed we'll spare him for being one of the good ones willing to accept constructive criticism. Also his next game (Judas) seems like a spiritual successor to his Bioshock stuff but on a much more expansive/immersive sim scale like Prey, so I'm rooting for it to succeed.

>>47597
I don't play games anymore unless its re4 og

I'm too busy making my own project

I mean you can call someone that reads books a reader, but being a reader isn't seen as in-of-itself an identity like people seem to treat being a gamer as.

I'm only a gamer in-so-far as I play videogames regularly (in bursts but those bursts come pretty consistently) and enjoy seeing them made and played by others, but It's something that only applies to me while I'm engaging with the medium directly / semi-directly.

>>47597
>people
What class are they? What mode of production has produced their atomized social relations and their rejection of class consciousness?
> do you consider yourself one?
There's nothing wrong with being a consumer, but gamers believe in the virtue ethics of consumption as if they are fine craftsmen. They are proud of being the best at sitting inside all day and being a seething degenerate like Asmongold or Hasan. Their belief in "getting good" at games like Dark Souls reflects the neoliberal imperative to "make rational choices so you don't die homeless in the street by failing to jump through the hoops of the healthcare industry". The ideal capitalist subject

>>47600
Readers in that sense are called bookworms.

>Timesplitters
I played Timesplitters 2 when it came out and I have no idea why people like it. Very arcady mid-tier shooter.
Let me remind you that in the same year came Battlefield 1942, Morrowind and Hitman 2, so it wasnt a technical issue. Some damn good games came out that year and Timesplitters 2 is just bleh.

Found this upcoming game called Hypernet explorer. Don’t know where else to put it.

>>47519
>Very arcady mid-tier shooter.
High tier arcady shooter. Time splitters 2 was and still is peak.
>>47514
It’s true

>>47506
Just play Doom 1 and 2 and a few custom campaigns you won't want to play any other FPS games again.
