First, the novelty of being a zelda game and atmosphere. Second, the story quests and shrine locations do a pretty good job of leading you through the most interesting areas. The worst time i had was after finishing the divine beast quests, the only noteworthy things i ever encountered just by exploring were the labyrinths, the dragons and that magical horse. At that point i was also getting sick of the durability system, so i didn't even finish the game.

Or a deer or a bunny, i don't even remember.

You don't get any useful shit for fighting in the last two Zelda games. There are armor sets, but the upgrades are so expensive I just picked one and only used a few others situationally, like the frog suit that allows you to stick to walls when it rains.

>>43819
You're right, but the clothing system itself was a step in the right direction. I barely upgraded any sets, so i often switched out armor parts to get the buffs or just to play dressup. You defeat a lynel or hynox in any "armor" if you know how to play, amirite? Seriously though most attack patterns were ridiculously easy to and i didn't even do food spam.

I've had this idea in my mind for a few years to make a strategy game about organizing labor unions and worker-owned cooperatives, but I'm not really sure how to make it FUN and RADICALIZING for both KIDS and ADULTS. thoughts?

I like the idea of quicktime dialogue events like they were used in Katana Zero, even though those were not the central point of the game. Trying to convince someone a union is worth their time when they're trying to go back from their lunch break of they're in the parking lot about to go home could be treated in a similar way.

your preconceived notions aren't exactly a good argument about the popularity of undertale.

>>42911
idk what youre talking about. the whole party turn management adds some more depth and the bullet patterns overall are way more complex and challenging than undertales. If anything after playing Deltarune, Undertale feels slow and easy.

most of the bosses arent that bad if you just save as much tp as possible to heal with ralsei. if you equip all the magic boosting items on him then he heals A LOT every turn.

I thought that the save/reset stuff worked well. Because we were determined to get the best ending, even if we died/got hurt/failed, we came back and tried again. Just like how real life endeavors might not be easy, but we stay determined and keep trying or something idk

So there's a famous scene in Warcraft 3 where Arthas, upon seeing that grain infected with the undead plague had been distributed in Stratholme, orders the city purged.

There's some controversy over whether Arthas was wrong for doing this. On one hand, if you play the game, Arthas can come across as something of a John Snow-like character in the sense that he's the only one that seems to be taking the plague and the undead Scourge as the dire, even apocalyptic threat that they actually are. In the Stratholme level itself, the citizens are actively turning into the undead as you meet them, while the Scourge are present and active in the city, lead by Mal'ganis who is swelling their numbers with infected citizens. This might lead a player to conclude that Arthas is doing what is necessary to prevent the Scourge from getting a city-sized army and preventing his subjects from becoming the mindless slaves of the Lich King. A mercy kill, if you will.

But there are many, including the writers who seem to disagree. In fact, the guy who wrote the mission apparently thinks its obvious that Arthas was in the wrong and that you're a psycho if you think otherwise.

What causes this disconnect?
32 posts omitted.

>>43520
They literally needed to just present one alternative to what Arthas did, and I think everyone would be in agreement that this was the moment Arthas crossed the line and was wholly in the wrong.

As it stands, it looks like "let Arthas kill a city that is actively turning undead, or give Mal'ganis a city-sized undead army," with the weird implication from the writing team that letting the Scourge take Stratholme and turn its citizens into an undead legion was the morally right course of action.

Made me remember some good times

Arthas didn't do nothing wrong
HAY QUE PURGAR TODA LA CIUDAD

>>43685
The thing is they shouldnt present an alternative, the fact purge of Stratholme was the only course of action he could had taken is a core component of Arthas' storyline. If he was in wrong there, then Arthas has no arc, he was always secretly an evil murderous maniac.

>>43740
He wasn't really a evil murderous maniac so much as he went insane with his quest for revenge.

>>42058
Arthas' biggest mistake was stepping foot on Northrend. Once he did, he was gone.
He could have turned towards the right path before that point, but he foolishly got baited by Malganis.

Total War has deteriorated to such an absurd fucking degree they make good ideas shitty in practice every new game. i entered the TW fanbase quite late (2016) but despite that i find myself playing mostly older games, shogun 2, Attila and occasionally Napoleon. i LOVE the ideas Troy put foward having more resources has always been an obvious expansion for TW, being able to switch between fantasy and historical is also a very good idea considering the many mythical creatures they could've/havd added. and yet despite all of this Troy is fucking shit because the core fundamentals of TW have degraded to such an extent it's just a worse game. Morale is utterly useless and broken, units can survive until they have 5 men in them, literally what's the point of tactics? why flank? battles are now only decided on who has the better men. Shogun 2 and Napoleon have by far the best morale system, despite Attila using the Rome 2 system i still find it quite good (at least for the early game). shit even fantasy TW should be awesome and instead all units feel the exact same, how do you even do that? you have limitless opportunies yet 90 percent of the roaster serves the same function. i have lost all hopes on those faggots.

i actually really like 3 kingdoms and pharoah for the diplomatic systems/maps. Pharoah's economy is neat as well, and the bronze age era is an easy draw for me. but yeah as another relative latecomer (~2013ish) Napolean is my favorite, and i also really like Attila. also surprisingly really loved Thrones of Brittania, the more limited scope made the art direction & themes feel more well developed. never even touched the fantasy games.

idk i always come back to TW but it never holds my attention for too long. the problem for me hasnt ever necessarily been the particular problems title to title but the overall gameplay loop. the strategic campaign/tactical combat is a massive draw and has so much potential, but it always ends up feeling kind of clunky and unsatisfying. like its strangely rare to actually feel like the tactical combat is a hig stakes, pivotal battle. if youre playing the campaign right youre moving around with a couple big stacks and not overextending yourself, and then the most challenging battles are playing as a garrison fighting off a small enemy army that snuck behind your borders. even if its a fun combat, it ends up feeling tedious. ultimately everything is just about managing a very linear economy to maintain enough garrisons to go on the offensive. which doesnt sound terrible in theory, but in practice youre constantly jumping between relatively inconsequential economic decisions (upgrade building now or later) and relatively inconsequential battles (need to spend 30 minutes defending a location peripheral to the main action). and halfway optimal play means you need to micromanage all of it, which means spending a few hours jumping between decisions that rarely feel like they tie together and payoff.

then they add in this half-baked dynastic politics that isnt important enough to be satisfying but is too important to ignore completely.

i think Total War might benefit from leaning in to the more focused premises, and adjusting the priorities of campaign strategy so that attrition/training of your armies is more of a priority than managing country economy. in Napolean youre either trying to defeat Napolean or conquer Europe as Napolean. in Attila youre either trying to survive the hordes or you are the hordes. even with the other flaws present, at least when the campaign has this clear context it feels like what youre doing has some stakes and narrative so that its easier to enjoy the process

Tbh I really liked Thrones of Brittania. Idk why so many people hate it, this was the only time I've had fun with Total War since Rome. Gwynedd (why did they change the name?) was really fun, it was an actual challenge fighting Wessex at least at the beginning until it got to the point where I was just map painting. My only issue was Powys back capping me so hard it was insane and they captured all of my farms so I had a famine, but apart from dealing with them I was maxxed out on food. The siege battles were a highlight though (which if kind of funny considering the time period). It was fun role play but idk how you were meant to unite Cymru diplomatically.

Shogun 2 was good visually but it didn't really keep me playing, and I just don't get why you would play the fantasy ones. Warhammer total war is one of my least favourite strategy games of all time because the infantry doesn't even matter, the big super duper epic dragon units just kill your entire army. What's even the point of having an army if a single hero can kill it all anyway and its only them who actually matter? I don't think the franchise has really improved that much since Rome total war. That game was so perfect and everything since has just been very incremental steps (like Shogun and Thrones of Brittania) or going backwards like Warhammer.

>>43792
maybe it's because I played pretty much only with SFO,but the ebin dragons get absolutely murdered by like two units of halberd stopping them from flying away.
also guns in general melt single entities,and being a big monster is terrible to not get hit.
Only talking about warhammer 3 tho,never played the first one and I don't remember 2

>>43792
It does seem like they've only compounded the worst parts of empire since it came out.

I’m sick of endless grinding and new content and updates and loot boxes and leveling and ranked matches and micro transactions.

Obra Dinn rocked my world. I haven’t played a game that reminded me of the magic of the medium in years until pic related. Just finished Dredge and it was a cute little experience.

I’d like this thread to be for games that can be finished in a few days and leave an impact. Like when you look at a book on the shelf you’ve read and go ‘oh yeah, that was great’. I want to go through my steam library and not just see slop, I want to see something closer to art.

Recs, please!

Be warned though, these games are tough as nails and won't hold your hand. Only the hardest of hardcore gamers are able to beat these.

is this a bit? if it isn't yeah they're fine but i want something a bit more dizzying style-wise

here are some ideas:
Severed Steel?????????
or this: >>43735 if you want something different????????!??!?!?!?

>>43744
I was silly, didn't fully explore the first area of the game, and played very weirdly as a result of not wanting to turn down the difficulty and also not wanting my companions to die. I refused to look up spoilers until I beat the game, fun time overall, and now I know how to make my next life easier.

>>43787
I already know of Puss!(sic) but will be checking out Severed Steel, thanks anon!!!
Also I'm checking out Returnal



 

When he was diagnosed with BPD he made the decision to step away from the internet and work on himself. The people who donated to his patreon did so because they liked him and wanted to see him improve. And those that couldn't support him anymore, stopped. That's all that happened. He didn't and doesn't owe anyone anything, especially not a shitty movie that would not have made any sense to make since he didn't do any of the shitty "lore" stuff in any of his videos like Shitkara did.

Spoony did nothing wrong And he was the only person on Cannel Awesome that actually had a good attitude towards what he was doing and wasn't a delusional careerist retard.

He seemed to regard Cannel Awesome as essentially his internet buddies that he was goofing around and hanging out with, while everyone else seemed to believe that that shit site was going to be the next big media phenomenon. It was hilarious seeing Lord Kat shit his pants over the completely delusional idea that Cannel Awesome was right about to be taken seriously as a media outlet if it wasn't for that dang dirty Spoony doing a goof at a con. And then they all fucking backstabbed him over a two or three year old joke, clearly in the hopes that getting rid of him would allow one them to be second place in Doug Walker's big gaggle of chucklefucks.

Honestly there needs to be more horse-centric horror games, closest I found was long horse, which is really just a snake with a horse skull.

Like if a horse decided it wanted to trample someone that would be a situation.

The horses have been made aware

So appearently in the Uma Musume timeline there's Kingdom of Ireland and the princess is one of the horses, Fine Motion. The real horse is also intersex, which is why she breaks the ear bow convention.

I like the implication that horses being horsegirls turned the tides of certain countries' histories.
There is a non-zero chance the USSR still exists in it.

Operation Deep Sneed edition

Made a new thread since the other one is full. You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

It's ironic and a bit sad that the Wolfenstein revival, the game about how tired, cliche and meaningless killing Nazis is was so successful they had to make more games about it and even a TV show now. In TNO the world is one that is far past lost with characters who are very tired who kill Nazis by the thousands yet there's never any less of them and their final act will amount to nothing major really. BJ's a power fantasy character but it's a burden on him to be forced to live and perpetually fight the same foe to no real gain until he's finally allowed to die as this type of shooter fully had by 2014. Then TNC and Younbloods fuck it up and make it about saving da world and a Nazi slaying adventure, even BJ got his head and body fixed guys we're gonna win and spend our entire lives fighting which is really cool and not a source of existential dread at all.

I get that western politics since 2016 is what made a game just about killing Nazis seem fun again I just wish it didn't come at the expense of what I think is best FPS campaigns of the 2010s which was an excellent exploration of the genre.

nuWolfenstein is vastly overrated
Literally even a game like Fortnite has more strategic thinking than a boomer shooter like Wolfenstein
