The game is mediocre at best. Why is it even called Prime?

>>45174
I've heard fans of the series generally say they enjoy it while decrying specific parts of it as shit.

Damn, Metroid Prime 4 was pretty much the only reason I've considered getting a Switch.

>>45176
Original Metroid Prime was named for the final boss of the game, and the name stuck for all the 3D metroids.

>>45174
There is a lot of bandwagoning happening. It’s really not the that bad. Mckenzie is about as annoying as Otacon from MGS to me. The desert portion feels tacked on a bit because it’s basically used to collect gems for a later part of the game. That might be annoying for some players but I collected them while traveling to different locations so it wasn’t a big deal. I think people were expecting more modern elements like an actual open world rather than a hub, but I knew that was never going to happen while the game was being held back by the switch 1. If your expectations aren’t that high and you like metroid it’s a good time. People are complaining about the story but I would still rank it higher than Other M despite it being paper thin.

The new game looks meh. Looks like genshin impact or something and the only guns are pistols everything else is melee

Oh shit Kal knew about Elves back in chapter 7.

Nuh uh

Even in fiction where Chaos is the protagonist their cultists get done dirty. Like seriously the Word Bearers trilogy is full of instances where the narration is like "he felt nothing but hatred and contempt for these pathetic worms who weren't totally cool space marines like him and casually crushed one of their skulls for glancing upwards." When human cultists are ever mentioned it's either in grueling slavery, cannon fodder, or mentions that they keep them tightly packed and tortured to insanity in their ships when they travel. Just once, I'd like to see some human cultists who are actually competent

>>45248
How can they be competent when they're devoted to the gods of retardation from the lolsorandumb nebula

>>45250
At least they dont worship a corpse

>>45251
Not an argument

Is it weird if I love short VNs but I can't really get into long ones with branching paths? I don't like doing the different paths because it feels like I am betraying my favourite characters, I don't want to go with the ones I don't like. Planetarian is my favourite VN for this reason. Also I was thinking of playing Chaos Head but I can't find a translation.

>>44432
Have you played a Type-Moon VN yet? The sex scenes in tsukihime can be a bit grating, yet otherwise it's a fine mystery novel. It uses branching, mostly unrelated, paths to make the narrative feel more extensive, while remaining introspective and small in scope. Fate Stay/Night does this even more effectively, but as the progenitor of the Fate franchise its setting isn't as intriguing as it should be, feeling more fantastical in contrast to tsukihime albeit still very anime-edgy and nasu. In any case playing with a guide is usually the right choice for non-dating, non-gimmicky VNs.

Oh, and at the moment i'm playing Dies Irae. It's utter chuuni dreg, but it also has a few great fights and passably well-written heroines, so i'm not complaining.

This is actually much better than I initially grasped.

When I watched the anime at 13 I just believed it was one of those gauche shock horror animes, but the visual novel and manga gave this much more depth than I would suspect it had. At first I thought the story writing was kind of vapid, until I realized it‘s a rabbit hole with twist after twist that made my head spin but also made me enjoy detangling the story like a detective. Story writing that employs time lines and considers the knowledge base of the viewer/reader at certain moments is very difficult considering how convoluted the story gets. Much respect to the author for that. Additionally, the uncanny feeling of the series is quite distinct. The story goes from slice of life, light hearted anime to irreversible tragedy and frightening loneliness and madness in such an unexpected but convincing way. I usually dislike the old school anime look, but the visual novel made the style grow on me and it surprisingly works very well with the eerie mood in the second half of each chapter when shit hits the fan.

Definitely recommend. The visual novel I mean, not the anime which leaves out so much that you will underappreciate the series.

Are you the guy who tried to mod NV desert full of empty ruins

>>45210
those are called miracles in the bible, bestie

>>45230
Yes, and the mod did work surprisingly well. I just cannot take the amount of crashing issues I initially had with it. The issue got fixed, but I still don’t want to release the mod regardless because there’s two major mods for NV that are came out

Long 15 and dry wells together effectively tripled the size of the games map. There’s other worldspace mods that affect that games issues with its map size which combined quintuple the maps size. I feel that introducing more worldspace mods is overkill at that point.

>>45233
My curiosity and pattern recognitionisms have been satisfied, thank you

>>45234
Your welcome. Check out nexus for dry wells and long 15. The mods got released and triple the games base map size

I have finished Hades 2. It is a really good hack n slash game, and I say that as someone who does no enjoy hack n slash genre. Similar to its predecessor, but improved in almost every way. I love the characters and am already hoping there are going to be DLCs so that I can play it some more.

Sorry everyone I haven't been using my own topic!

Currently playing:

Call to Arms: Gates of Hell Ostfront
Decent game, pirated it so I can't play online which I think would be fun. I keep losing men/tanks to stupid things in conquest but I feel like that's probably my fault. 8/10

Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Playing this with my friends online when we're free, it's deeply mediocre and repetitive in terms of playing alone but I have got the bug for gaming with the boys and eagerly awaiting when we can play. 6/10

Catherine
Holy shit, this game is miserable, I can see why people say the story is so good because the gameplay is terrible. 4/10

Endoparasitic
Kind of a one trick pony, I kind of expected more variety in gameplay. Alright though. 6/10

Beat 5 games recently
>House of Necrosis
Resident Evil if it was a mystery dungeon/roguelike. I liked it overall but felt it could get boring at times once you got good equipment and knew how to deal with enemies. Thankfully there's post game dungeons that shake things up. I still need to beat the 99 floor dungeon but apparently there's some secret you get from beating it that you can only access from getting all the spells which you have to grind for and I don't feel like that.
>Kill Knight
"Twinstick Doom Eternal" if I wanted to pitch it to someone else. Fast paced game where the player character's kit is tuned for specific enemies and how well you do is knowing when to use X on Y and making sure you have the resources ready for it. Killer aesthetic and music. Pretty difficult. I still want to clear the game on sufferance difficulty and then try and complete sever mode. Sufferance mode doesn't seem too bad but having to do all the stages in one go (they can get pretty long) and being like 2 mistakes from death makes sever mode sound daunting.
>Tormentor X Punisher
Can't really "beat" this game since it's endless but you can loop it once you kill all the bosses. Has a weird learning curve figuring out how to get certain upgrades and beat bosses. I find it fun to play for like 20 minutes to see if I can beat someone else's score for the day. My biggest complaint is that there's no pause button and if you try to press what would be the pause button in any other game it boots you back to the title screen.
>Resident Evil DC
Always wanted to play the 1st RE after beating REmake around 3 times. Overall I found this game to be way easier despite the lack of stuff like quick turn and defense items. The only time I felt things were getting difficult is when hunters show up after you come back from the mansion. Want to play it again as Jill.
>Final Fantasy Legend 2 (or SaGa 2)
I feel mixed on this. I liked FFL1 but FFL2 makes good changes to the combat and classes but the overall experience of the game doesn't feel as fun. The first 2/3s of the game there wasn't any challenging fights, and there's more worlds than in the first game but most of the feel samey and insignificant beyond collecting the magi there and dipping. The last 1/3 of it is what I wish the rest of the game waPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Decided to replay Expeditions: Viking. God, its so fucking good, one of the most fun evil character roleplays I had in a video game. It is amusing just how many children you get to kill in it.
Contrasting it with Rome, it demonstrates just how much flavour matters when it comes to choices. Neither has any real story branching barring the very end, decisions you make dont alter much, but feel meaningful from roleplay perspective. Do you help village get rid of bandits, team up with desperate shipwreck survivors in raiding the monastery, or slaughter everyone all says something about your character, even if the only impact is a single altered line of dialogue when meeting Northumbian king.

It's a shame you can't accept it and send them back a finger. "You get what you pay for."

War Sails DLC is already out (for couple weeks now). Mixed reviews on Steam, which is discouraging, although so does Viking Conquest, and Viking Conquest is the peak Mount and Blade experience.
I read through recent patch notes and they seem to finally be nerfing ranged troops slightly. Not nearly enough, and TW seems to not recognise that crux of the issue lies in bows doing piercing damage.
I am having an itch to roleplay Chaos Warrior, with goal of killing every single noble in the game, leaving the game world overrun by bandits, brigands and raiders. Although I should probably wait for more patches to come out before starting.

this is the true reason engles is anti-mongamous family in orgins of the family. gotta get that siscest!!!

Engels fucked French hookers by the truckload. He said Frenxh hookers were his teason for living.

>spectacle, exaggeration, humour, absurdity, and hype
its 40k wtf were you expecting. they are returning to tradition, if they ever departed. you are just old and grumpy
>uhm akshually armies are more like dhl and less like rambo
ok smart guy, feel free to pick literally any other franchise or hobby

>>45223
It showed they were pivoting to stories that were more small-scale and character focused that didn't really advance the setting in any meaningful way. Not that theres anything wrong with those type of stories but I always found the perpetual storylines boring and kind of meaningless.

>>45224
Fuck you talking about, modern imperial guard is anything except Rambo. You know how bad they’ve been shafted in the recent books? Like at least for a time, the authors tried writing them and the planetary defence forces as actually competent and intimidating soldiers. The recent editions make it questionable why the imperium even has these guys active.

>>45225
Literally the opposite problem. Every fucking edition brings a new galaxy ending crises somehow worse than the last one where the power scaling gets even more nonsensical and absurd (apparently the emperor fought Horus through 13 dimensions or some shit in one of the newest books), entire systems are casually given Horus heresy level disaster situations for just because for narrative convenience (like how marvel seemingly has a new world ending threat every week just to find a lazy excuse to keep publishing avengers comics) at the complete cost of tonal consistency and believability in the 40k setting.

>>45227
Well if it makes you feel better it looks like they're getting ready to chuck the whole thing in the toilet and start over age of sigmar style

>>45189
Complete opposite actually, arc raiders is shit and I am basing this on the fact that I have never seen or heard about it at all

>>45203
Well this game sounds shit and exclusively for easily obsessed neets and I'm basing both these posts on the one Google search I did for it after seeing this thread.
Its so shit i bet its not even on console.

>>45208

i actually spent a good while looking for a good milsim-ish game

>>45208
it's gonna have a release on console next year I think ? but playing fps on a controller is a certified retard moment.
also the worst part of tarkov is that the pvp is as unplayable as warzone with all the cheaters

>>45218

pve AI basically has aimbot so it's a 50/50
