Among the "hardcore" gaming crowd or places like /v/, Halo was always treated as a shooter for casual retards that killed the genre, this was especially true among the arena shooter crowd. Only in the mainstream was it ever treated as the greatest game ever conceived of.

>>46120
>his was especially true among the arena shooter crowd
which would be odd because halo was a spiritual successor to marathon. spiritually, halo is a single player story driven boomer shooter with multiplayer tacked on. or in other words, the second coming of goldeneye 64. i just don't think they was any overlap between arena shooters and halo. also 4chan is two years younger than halo.

i do think that eventually halo fanboys were synonym with "xbox kids", but as i said, that was along the line, well after halo had been established as THE reason to buy an xbox. i remember it was one of the biggest anticipated releases, like it was ocarina of time levels of hype.

>>46121
Well, they think that Halo killed hardcore, multiplayer, arena shooters because people would rather play Halo than deal with the autistic, arrogant, retards in these "hardcore" "NOT FOR CASUAL, SHITTERS" arena shooters. What they don't seem to realize is that even if Halo never existed people still wouldn't play arena shooters, the only reason games like Quake were popular for a time is because of the novelty and fad of them being something new that hadn't been done before which was namely, an actual working online game that actually felt somewhat ok to play. Once more easier games came out it didn't matter if it was going to be another shooter or not, hardcore arena shooters were always on burrowed time.

Halo was peak though (I didn't play god of war since no ps2)

>>46020
Reading comprehension so low they skip over "instead"…

yup convinced glown is a rage baiter

>>46110
havent bothered reading the actual deltarune discussion itt but outside of that you people are actually retarded and illiterate so (what else can you expect from gamers really). you dont even know what a fallacy is and then misread a simple definition of it too like cmon LOL

yup hes a ragebaiter

>the ultimate goal is Christian moralism.

Are Susie and Noelle gonna see the light and repenet from their sinful lesbian urges? Also where do people go for insane Deltarune discourse? Twitter? Bluesky? I feel like a boomer we used to do this on game forums.

interesting question but lack of effort in the OP doesnt make me wanna reply too hard. TL;DR religious puritanism and protect muh kids rhetoric combined with a developer demographic of mostly sexless nerds combined to create an environment in which sex outside of "adult games" (PS5 movie shit) is taboo in games according to the ESRB, censorship heads and lobbyists (example: Twitch banlist) and it is considered either in it's barest terms (reproduction mechanics as in Fire Emblem, Crusader Kings 2, etc.) or in a juvenile, very player gratification oriented way. so you can't put sex in games and if you do you're give the same respect as Big Booty Latinas 2. even worse because sex in games is often treated as explicitly masturbatory/self-revealing due to the player agency aspect. all of the usual defenses for portraying rape and sex overall in art are absent for that reason beyond very quiet corners of twitter/bluesky, if you want rape or sex treated with any modicum of respect and maturity in games you're going to have to start reading VNs and (i assume, haven't read it) interactive fiction shit, or start playing itch.io walking simulators lol

>>46085
It doesn't exactly help that a lot of games with a heavy focus on sex is cheeks as the zoomeroids say.

>>46083
1. sex is more censored than violence in general. it's only recently that we've seen the most tepid of sex in mainstream games and it's entirely possible there'll be a drift back from that.
2. nobody's come up with good mechanics for it, so you're trading entirely on shock value. 'press x to rape' is neither sexy nor fun nor good social commentary.

>>46083
The most explicit AAA game containing sexual material is BG3

It's yankee christoid influence. They love violence but feel compelled to clutch pearls about sex because they know sexual independence threatens their control over their child-property, I mean, children.

>>45947
gonna try that, thanks
i have yet to design a focus tree skeleton for brazillian communists in TNO then a timed decision minigame for adhemar, democratic lacerda and the hardliner military paths

>>45954 (me)
ive done the focus tree, now i gotta make the events, decisions and other stuff to make it playable/triggerable and achievable, which i need tips, tried to pick TFR's alikhanov opposition minigame but it is too hard, plus writing the decisions feel more important than events

So with Kaiserreich's South China update being out for a couple of months now I suppose it's fitting to ask, what are our thoughts? Favorite paths? Things we wish they'd work on next?

Honestly the attention to detail that the KR team has given to China these past few years has been phenomenal, you really get something close to an intimate understanding of obscure Chinese political figures which could have had a big impact but didn't due to the dominance of the CPC and the right wing of the KMT. The tragedy of Federalism, the tragicomedy of regionalist warlords, the vast array of based schizos in the KMT, there's just so many ways you can make a China. And objectively the best way is to play Lianguang and let yourself be a vassal to the LKMT, because that way you can get the Boddhisatva of the peasants himself Peng Pai as leader of the country in a based spiritual Maoist type path.

>>46102
i hope KR devs give effort to other natione rather than china

>>46114
Yeah I mean China is cool and all but Chinareich: Legacy of the Northern Expedition gets boring after a while

Yes I agree!

What’s wrong with cry of fear? I don’t know much about the game but it seems fine to me.

i saw a mexican guy play it on youtube and i thought it was ok for a wad i guess, 2edgy4me maybe because it sometimes makes me cringe

Yeah I can understand that

pretty edgefaggy game. Haven't gotten through the entirety of it, so far I've seen:
>a level name is a reference to hatred
>one of the text pop ups when you die is "DIE YOU FUCKING NI-[redacted]"

fun game overall but all I can see it as is edge-slop for rightards who jerk off to school shooting videos

>>46027
Shallow game that plays like shit. Interesting aesthetic, but even at the time it was executed better elsewhere.

>>46106
Very much the intended first impression (it was mine, at least). Keep going.
That said, lower your expectations. This game is definitely a hit or miss experience.

Playing Cuphead. I bought it years ago but only got to the second island. This time I will be doing everything in the base game and the DLC.

Just got into Songs of Syx and Im honestly amazed by the massive scale of this game. It perfectly scratches that city-building autism itch. Havent yet got to warfare stage as still learning the economics/logistics of the game.

Finished Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I played this back in the day but never completed the game. It doesn't feel as good as Sands of Time, only the combat is better, but the rest of the game ranges from pleasant to annoying.

>>46098
I didn't like how you have to do segregation to stop people just randomly murdering each other, seems kind of chud-coded.

I was playing Demon Turf since I bought it forever ago and the sequel released, and it's a game I wish I could like but it has too many small problems that compounds and makes it boring and annoying to play and I just dropped it while doing the 2nd set of stages for the final world because of one level that was the sum of nearly every problem I have with the game. The first 2 worlds are just boring and bland aesthetically with 1-2 levels that are fun.

The hub world is this dark urban city and the the first world is just a desert, the next is a beach, then a city, and a snowy mountain. All the bosses are awful and don't even give you the game's main collectable for whatever reason. The game also makes you repeat a second version of the levels after you beat the boss if you want to actually fight the final boss which I would've been pissed if I didn't do the alternate stages as soon as the boss was done. Regardless, the only world I really liked was the 3rd one because the difficulty actual picks up, the ability you get from beating the 2nd world is fun and utilized a lot, and the visuals are the best of the 4.

The game has combat that's terrible. Instead of the typical jumping on enemies or hitting them you have to push/pull them around off ledges or into hazards. Your character's main attacks are slow and the enemies move around like they're sliding on ice. It wouldn't be so bad if for whatever reason the game decided to force you into combat sections that are required to progress. There's also things like ring challenges ala superman 64, general "get to the goal" stuff, and the god awful get the ball to the goal that thankfully is rarely used. A lot of this stuff just feels haphazardly thrown into a level and kills the pacing of it. The checkpoint system is interesting on paper but with no sense of how long a level is or how difficult an upcoming section will actually be you're just playing blind.

The abilities are uninteresting like the grapple hook that halts all your moment and can only be used on specific objects and adds nothing to your actual movement, fun like the wheel, or just frustrating to use like the glide and time bomb. The glide feels bad to control especially when the game constantly wants you to make precise landings with it which is complicated with depth problems of your character being a 2D sprite jumping around in a 3D space. The time ability is really cool but it's similar to the grapple hook where it's aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You play that one souls game with all the shit?

I gave Dark Souls 1 another try. Dropped it like an hour in. Controls feel awkward (clearly not made for mouse+keyboard), slugish animations, janky hitboxes. It is not without merit of course, but I really dont get why did this series became so popular. Is it just that console players are have lower standards, so the first time they witnessed decent quality video game their minds were blown?

>>46086
> Controls feel awkward (clearly not made for mouse+keyboard)
just buy a fucking 8bitdo controller already

>>46092
Or, hear me out, PC port should be optimalised for PC. I played remastered, this isnt even the first port of that game and they still cant get it right. Tank controls and no soft lock, who thought that was a good idea? Combined with how disjointed the hitboxes are from animations, it creates unsatisfying combat experience, in a game where combat is the only gameplay mechanic.

>>46094
>Or, hear me out, PC port should be optimalised for PC
>optimalised
games already prescribe rules of play, why wouldnt it prescribe inputs as well? this has nothing to do with optimizing performance. you're playing in the stupidest way possible and then asking what are you missing

it's not clear how one builds this for Linux or if it's even possible. I guess one can use mono somehow? the documentation only suggests being used by VScode

>>45965
what server is this image even referring to

>>46078
Another good one would be Louisiana, you could have a faction like the Kings but for Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, or Robert Johnson, Haitians, Creole and Cajun remnant communities. Angola could be the locale for a DLC.

Is Fallout 4 worth playing? I liked 1, 2, 3, I loved New Vegas, but from what I saw of 4 it is a looter shooter, not an RPG game.

>>46080
Not inaccurate. It's a much simpler game and really light on role playing comparatively.

>>13153

alright, fiends can rape a couple chuds as a treat.

>>46079
Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Newk Orleans.

>>46080
I've been playing it lately. Sunk about 80 hours into it, but only because it's totally brainless, so I've just been blazing up and blasting raiders.

The survival mode might make it more engaging, and I haven't tried any mods for it.

It really pisses me off that you can't really clean up or fix a lot of the settlements. Like in Sanctuary, houses perpetually have leaves and junk in them. I hate how everything looks so shitty. Yeah, it's the post apoc, but there's no reason for everything to look so shitty all the time. For some reason it drives me crazy.

But yeah, overall it's the theme park version of fallout. Roleplaying is basically nonexistent and the story mostly sucks anyway. But if you're okay with a light power fantasy shooter then you should be good.

i laughed at my bf trying to explain SQLite to me because in spanish it sounds like "that little ass"

>>46036
Ese culito Lmao

>>46062
