>Noooo they can‘t make the game anymore because so many years have gone by they will never live up to the expectations! Noooo
Really? Are people that braindead that they believe the more years go by the gooder a game has to be? Honestly who gives a shit, I just want to see the story continue.

God almighty comes before you and asks for help creating the perfect MMORPG. Your idea will magically sustain an active and loyal playerbase, no matter how niche or unconventional it may be. What does this game look like?

ITT we talk about indie games which could pierce through your skin and fill you with emotions, feeling being pulled uncontrollably to gaze in awe for more and more throughout the story!

Those pieces of arts, aka games I consumed, had me loads of pressure of awe spreading through my chest—
It is amazing how an art piece could bring the one to such intense heights… it was almost unbelievable how overwhelmed one gets!! 0_o

So, post about indie games here you played recently and so on!!

do i suck at chess & do u want to clap my bussy at chess????????!??!?

Rest in Peace !!

Tomonobu Itagaki, the legendary creator of the Dead or Alive series, and creative mind behind the 2004 version of Ninja Gaiden, has passed away at the age of 58.

The news was shared on his personal Facebook page, and independently confirmed by members of the development community. The cause of death was not given.

The elegaic Facebook post was written by Itagaki to be shared in the event of his death. An English translation was later shared by his compatriot and rival Katsuhiro Harada:

Words I Leave Behind

The flame of my life is finally about to go out.

If this message has been posted, it means that the time has come. I am no longer in this world.

Does anyone know what game this is? I have no more information than this screenshot, sorry. Apparently it's like a modern Far Cry 2, don't know anything else about it.

Anyone here play Shadow Empire? It sounds like the deep kind of autism simulator you guys might be into. They say you need read the 400 page manual before you're ready to play.

>Shadow Empire is a deeply complex, turn-based 4X wargame set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi universe, uniquely blending grand strategy with highly detailed simulation and role-playing elements. Its standout features include a sophisticated procedurally generated planet system that dictates climate, resources, and lifeforms, ensuring massive replayability, and a central, rigorous logistics system that makes supply chains—for both military and civilian needs—critical to success, distinguishing it from most other 4X games. Furthermore, the game incorporates an intricate Leader and Political Management system, where players must recruit, manage, and deal with staff (who have their own skills and agendas) and their nation's internal factions, often through a Stratagem card system, adding a strong human and organizational dynamics layer to the conquest on the detailed, hex-based map.

I don’t even hate the game, I just the world design. That’s sucks. I can tell gearbox was actually trying to make exploring pandora actually feel as if you’re venturing through a planet and not just travelling from level to level but they still fumbled the map designs by not adding verticality. All the maps are so flat and 2D. I hate referencing anthem for anything since that game is probably the biggest fumble in gaming history, but anthem got world design down right by making the world feel vertical.

Outside of that, the game was surprisingly well received.

Post cases of game companies having lightning in a bottle and still fucking up somehow, lol.

I'll start:
Some Kiwi creates a zombie mod for the military simulator he trained on when serving as chairforce so he can have some LAN party fun, buddies complain that theres nothing to do so he adds looting mechanics, game hits the early 2010s internet like some crack cocaine epidemic, perfect storm of zombie hype with the Walking Dead, I Am Legend, Dead Rising and the zenith of e-celebs doing Let's Play content on Youtube. 2.5 million players in under a year, Bohemia Interactive makes so much money its unreal. Arma 2, an eurojank 2009 military simulator gets modding attention unseen since the release of Oblivion, maps, gamemodes, even the first game iteration of a Battle Royale genre get created. Mod basically kickstarts the Battle Royale, Looter Shooter, Crafting Survival & Extraction Shooter genres.

One and a half year later, it is 2013, the Standalone DayZ is announced and released in December. Its a terrible mess, doesn't have a tenth of the content the mod had and runs like dogshit, with a $30 price tag I might add.

13 years have passed since 2012. Bohemia Interactive had the opportunity to create games like Escape From Tarkov, H1Z1, PUBG, Fortnite and all those crafting survival games, all of which made a combined of multiple hundreds of million. Its not like they didn't try, they released some shitty Free-To-Play Battle Royale in 2019 that only has 90 players right now, way way too late. Instead they are stuck with a dying game hitting only 50k daily players on a good day. Gone are the 2.5 million players of old.

what games do you find overrated??????????????!?!?!?!?!

i played a few hours of Mario Odyssey for the first time, and I'm soooo bored. Everything feels so empty and devoid of enemies. and it's so easy, and the moons are so unsatisfying to collect due to being everywhere
