I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

Emperor allowed murderous murderer who loves murder and hates his dad in charge of good boy club, and then was utterly flabbergasted when good boy club turned into "we love murder and hate emperor" club.

Tau are cool.:)

>>45264
If chaos is so smart why did the emperor successfully use their instrument to establish a galaxy spanning empire capable of bottling them up in a galactic butthole for 10,000 years

>>45268
Writing emperor as an ego-blinded megalomaniac is the only way to avoid him coming off as an absolute bumbling moron. Just on every step of the way doing the exact opposite of what he is trying to achieve

>>45272
simple, because chaos didnt want to win. Chaos wanted the galaxy to be what it was in 40k.
If chaos won, the galaxy would end. And thus the gods would die.
If the emperor won, chaos would lose. And thus the gods would become weak.
If the emperor and chaos both dont win, then it leads to a constant state of warfare. One which the dark gods will constantly feed on

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.

>Metroid Prime 4 is open world with a motorcycle
Literally everything is open world slop now. Even a series that named the genre where you explore intricate interconnected levels.

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.

>>45256
expectations seem to have been a bit overflown, but also there seems to be a general sense of bitterness towards nintendo because the switch 2 is a bit expensive and they still don't have a definite "killer game" that justifies the entry price

>>45256
>>45260
Also scathing reviews of other Nintendo sequels (TotK) have been doing number recently so some people are probably trying to bottle that lightning.

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.

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.

File: 1765582871974.png (195.71 KB, 276x360, IMG_9716.png)

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

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.

40k reads like a superhero comic disguised as a military drama.

Most of the books and official animated media focus more on spectacle, exaggeration, humour, absurdity, and hype than on believability (not realism, believability and consistency) and immersion at the cost of tonal consistency and the depth of many of its characters. This series has many issues with scaling and tension when a new world/empire threat ending pops up each edition while the imperium is written to feel nearly always reactive and in a vegetative state. The imperium was never good, but never written to be so laughably incompetent that major galaxy ending crises could casually manifest without any pushback. Remember when the imperial guard was so strong it had to be nerfed in lore? Yeah I miss when the scaling of the series wasn’t 100% catered to the astartes and the times when the authors tried to write the guard and planetary defence forces as actually useful for protecting humanity…

>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
