Really good. Love Metroid games and this one is pretty comfy. Still surprised that it wasn't drawn/written by a woman.

Sub Zero because he's coolas ice and Postal Dude because he's the right kind of edge meister torn straight from the late 90's
>Favorite soundtrack/single?
I really liked the Brutal Legend collection, but I'm not a metalhead and I realize that this probably isn't the cream of the crop when it comes to metal.

>What are you playing?
Warframe and The Flame In the Flood
>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
I've settled into a comfy groove with Warframe. The grinding doesn't really bother me and the constant act of filling meters and amassing resources soothes my 'tism.
Flame in the Flood is interesting for a few reasons. From the looks of it, you'd think it was a Life Is Strange Indie/Hipster wankfest, but it's actually got this really bluesy, melancholy charm to it. There's no talk of gender or sexuality.. You're just a weird looking kid with a dog, riding a ramshackle raft through a flooded world, trying to stay alive.
>What are you looking forward to?
A bunch of PS4 exclusives are being ported over to PC, so I'm pretty hype for some of that. Monster Hunter World was the only game I was really excited for, but the more I see and read about it, the more it makes my stomach churn.
>everything else
I've got no interesting answers for that crap.

Yakuza (PS2) emulator
>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
Its ok so far. Still to early in the game to tell, not sure what to think about it. It didn't entirely click until i realized it was a Brawler fused with a traditional JRPG. I am very tempted to Play the Kiwami version because of the refined updated systems. also not sure if I should play Yakuza Zero first, being that I just got that game.
>What are you looking forward to?
I guess if I had to pick something Monster Hunter: World looks promising. Yakuza Kiwami 2 might get a US release. Depending on how much I like the Yakuza Series that might be worth looking forward to as well.
>Got any good webms/mp4s of good gameplay?
not at the moment.
>Favorite multiplayer game?

>>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
It's okay i guess, but nothing to write home about, my biggest problem is just how much trouble the saturn has trying to run the game, like it runs at the buttery smooth cinematic frame rate of 15fps, which makes doing anything in this game a chore because of how delayed everything is.

>What are you playing?
Dead Cells and the Antinomy of Common Flowers demo
>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
Dead Cells is probably going to be my 2017 GOTY. The animations look awesome, the weapons are fun and satisfying to use, the movement is fluid and fun, and the roguelite style works incredibly well in combination with the random weapon modifications, allowing for interesting combos and on-the-fly power builds (and it also helps that I'm pretty sure that the RNG is seeded so that if you hold onto a weapon for a long time, there's a good chance that future weapons you find in that run will be similar, so you don't have to break your super combo if you want a damage upgrade. EG if you have a weapon with a "double damage vs enemies on fire" mod, other weapons you find will be more likely to have that mod, so if you have a firebomb and are doing big damage, you don't have to get stuck with that specific weapon forever because there's a good chance that something else with the same mod will show up)
I've been having tons of fun in the lab with AoCF. The new assist system is interesting and opens up some absolutely ridiculous shit. My current team is Mokou lead Reimu assist, and I found out recently that if you hit with a 6C poke, you can combo that into the second hit of 6C, and then combo THAT into the Reimu assist, and then combo THAT into the swap-back-to-Mokou 5C. It's only 2.4k damage, but off of a single hit of 6C that's pretty damn good. Might have to challenge some people online later and see how shit I actually am at it.
>What are you looking forward to?
Considering buying a Switch once I find a job. Trying desperately not to spoil myself on Odyssey. Also, while Dead Cells is a knockout in terms of gameplay, it's technically early access so I'm looking forward to whatever they add to that.
>Got any good webms/mp4s of good gameplay?
Here's something from Blacklight Retribution. I should play that game again sometime. Too bad the devs abandoned it.
>Favorite multiplayer game?
Actually, Blacklight Retribution. It's a close-to-dead game and has tons of flaws, but it gets so many things right that so many multiplayer FPS games get wrong that I can't help but love it.
>Favorite genre?
I guess FPS? I genre hop a lot though.
>Favorite game within specific genre?
Painkiller will always have a special place in my heart as a single player experience that took everything good about old FPS and made it flashy, visceral, and amazingly fun. Also UT99. There was a time when I thought I just didn't like FPS because all my FPS experience had been on a console. Then I found a copy of UT99 in a thrift store for 5 bucks. I've been hooked on PC FPS ever since.
>Favorite character(s)?
Most of the shit I've been playing has been heavy on gameplay and light on character. But I do like Mokou. I like her design, I like her power set, I like the way she plays in the fighting games, and I like her style.

Also remember that old-ass freeware puzzle-platformer Karoshi, where your goal is to kill yourself? Did you remember that it has some really, really good music?

So far it's been a decent TRPG. The cutscenes are concise and comical.
The gameplay has some neat elements and characters dying isn't a big issue which I am really thankful for because I suck at this.
I heard grinding was not necessary and so far it's true. I'm having a blast.

Your best bet is to make your character according to racial traits to get the highest weapon bonus possible initially. For example make an orc which has blunt weapon +10 as it's trait, and make blunt weapon a major skill. Should bring it up to at least 45. Then spend all your money that you earn leveling up your blunt weapon skill. You need to get one weapon skill up to 70 as quickly as possible.

my man
You don't have a Max Payne jump n' shoot, that's only found in Max Payne. You can however crank up the difficulty and shoot grenades out of the air or go in without any weapons at all (but I would suggest the lowest difficulty for latter).
Learn to back out of the fights you can't win immediately, pop in and out of cover to soften up your targets and then pick them off one by one when their morale is down.

here's a copypaste of what the devs said in May on the forums
>ROADMAP: What's already planned?
>At day one of the Early Access we'll be a little ahead of schedule. We managed to complete:
>11 levels - Each with a variation of enemies, design and ambience.
>20 monsters - More in fact, but there will be plenty of ways for you to die.
>50 items - Tons of weapon, active skills, traps, amulets and so on to experiment with!
>1 fluid fun combat system - Wait to you get to explore. It feels pretty nice.
>Hours and hours of gameplay - anywhere from 45 minutes to 30 hours or more depending on your skill.
>This represents about 40-50% of the content that we would like to add to the world as we go. That means more levels, more bosses, more items, more meta skills and progression. This however doesn't take into account feedback from the community and things that you guys are going to want to see in the game.
>We estimate that we will need at least 8 months, but up to and perhaps beyond 12 months to incorporate new asides, finish our vision for the project, balance it and prepare for any eventual console releases.
So if they're on schedule, the full game will be finished https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxi7JRJrod4&feature=youtu.be&t=1m48s

Thanks for the tips but I'm already at the apartments level with the snipers on the roof at max difficulty. For some reason the game likes to throw a lot of medkits towards your way, wish higher difficulties could limit that.
Shame, I thought I saw a clip of someone doing the max payne jump. Must be my imagination.

This is true but she also takes it up the ass because Nintendo keeps fucking her like a suck puppet Not to mention she's the waifu of thousands of really pathetic dudes.

Might as well answer my own questions
>What are you playing?
I recently played through DMC3 again. I'm done with Witcher 3, I've been thinking about giving New Vegas another go, I've never finished the DLCs. I eventually have to get back to Cuphead and Salt and Sanctuary. I'm also interested in finishing King's Field, so have to get around to that, too.
>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
DMC3 is great, it features one of the best combat systems ever conceived, but I hate the level design, the fixed camera perspective, and the story is pretty trash. I mostly only play it for Bloody Palace. I wish there was a boss rush mode.
>What are you looking forward to?
Nioh on PC, Ace Combat 7 will probably be good, and Red Dead Redemption 2 will have a shitshow for a multiplayer but the single player will probably be decent.
>Got any good webms/mp4s of good gameplay?
Nah.
>Favorite multiplayer game?
I don't really care about multiplayer. I'd play Perfect Dark N64 if it was remade on PC though
>Favorite genre?
I try to play a bit of everything, but I probably play RPGs, platformers, and "character action games" or hack'n'slash the most.
>Favorite game within specific genre?
Not really, I don't like playing favorites because you eventually get to a point where you'll play nothing but the game you've deemed as your favorite.
>Favorite character(s)?
I like too many characters to count. It doesn't make sense to have favorite characters in my opinion, but I know someone out there disagrees.
>Favorite soundtrack/single?
I'll just say that I've never really appreciated DMC3's soundtrack until now. It's pretty good, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite, it's just something noteworthy from recent memory.
>Are you winning, son?
My dad always said that video games are a waste of time and that I should do something more practical with my life. He was probably right, but then again he spent the majority of his free time watching football, so "pot and kettle" and all that.

>Got any tips for making swings not phase through enemies?
Invest in Agility from the get-go. Don't click like mad when fighting, make sure your stamina bar is close to full when you swing. If you're a gishy build don't be shy about leading off with a cheap touch spell or a scroll (if you have one handy). It's a diceroll system for hitting, your swings aren't phasing through enemies - they're missing. Potions of Agility and such are very handy early on, don't just pawn them.
Right, my turn.
>playing
Grim Dawn Ashes of Malmouth (just starting a new character in Crucible actually, gonna rack up some easy devotion points before dropping him into campaign)
>good y/n
Grim Dawn was always pretty decent, though definitely not perfect. From everything I'm hearing AoM is bretty gud so we'll see.
>webbums
Not yet. I'm rusty enough that any webbum I make of my gameplay is going to be pretty boring to watch anyway.
>Multiplayer
Not really a huge fan of multiplayer, but I did really enjoy TF2 for a while before the F2P update hit. I've gone through a few MMOs in the past but never really particularly got attached to any of them except maybe DAoC.
>Genre
RPGs mostly, jRPGs are ok but not great, ARPGs are sometimes pretty fun (though I'm not touching PoE), I like some FPS games once in a while, RTS or GSG is occasionally a nice break. I'm fond of Roguelikes/lites.
>game within genre
RPG: Depends on mood, I suppose, but Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 2, and Wizardry 8 are all strong contenders.
jRPG: Chrono Trigger or FFVI
ARPG: D2LoD before 1.10 patch, but GDAoM might dethrone it.
FPS: Some variant of gzdoom goes here I guess, or Blood.
RTS: Total Annihilation.
GSG: Been a while, Civ V BNW was playable I guess but it's not my favorite anything. I don't want to feed Paracucks by buying EU4, but I'm not sure I care enough to pirate it either.
Roguelike: Used to be NetHack, but holy shit the latest patch made me sad. Dungeons of Dredmor, I guess, or Dorf Fort.
Sim: Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries or MechWarrior 3. Neither will run properly on my computer nowadays. Oh well.
Platformer/Metroidvania: Super Metroid.
>Soundtrack
MechWarrior 2's soundtrack or Total Annihilation's soundtrack, take your pick, both are great.

Loading times and system resource taxation are ridiculous, especially as its predecessor runs on a win98 potato. Ubisoft made a terrible choice of engine that requires dx11 and a fuckton of RAM. Wouldn't surprise me if it had 4k textures too. They completely missed the fucking point when it came to resource allocation
Storywise its fairly fun. Gay crap in your face at the beginning is a bit offputting (the Craig x Tweek thing makes sense if you've seen the episode, the art in Cartman's journal not so much) but the heroes the SP kids have put together are interesting. Captain Diabetes has an interesting twist on super strength, the sort that'd actually make for a good comic book (and for that matter he's a much better diabetic superhero than Captain Novolin)

>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
Gurumin is a good cuteloliwrecksshit ARPG with a decent amount of attention to details.
Interstate 76 is like a "cinematic" game without the gameplay-less bullshit, with its atmosphere and cool stunts that make you feel like you're on a 70's action movie.

Made it to Vanguard but the game crashed after I got it so I got demoted for disconnecting. I got it back, but went up against a Warrior Kazumi that's really good.

Alpha's enjoyable but personally I find it doesn't hold a candle to Third Strike, which I hate to say just because I want to be a bigger fan of the other games in the franchise as well. The neutral game just seems to require more patience in general, I like games with higher damage I guess. I say this as a Nash main in that game, so maybe I should consider switching?
As for Tekken, yeah, I like it a ton, I'm new to it so I feel overwhelmed at times with all the characters and moves I need to learn about, but I can still play and land damaging combos with Akuma, so I also feel right at home.
As for UT, fantastic all-around. Landing well timed rocket kills feels amazing. I just wish they'd reintroduce capture-the-flag again soon.

good question. I don't know. I like samus (not other m). Being alone in space and being a badass with no fucks given and no one to witness your deeds or sing you praises, and not doing it for that or giving a shit about that. It resonates with me. I when I see samus getting shit done for the sake of the galaxy and not getting any praise nor wanting any, I see a true badass. Probably the same reason most people despise other m samus.
I like Marina from Mischief Makers, and Shanoa from Castlevania. Also Kirby. Kirby is great. Kirby is pure.

BG and BG2 are both decent, like I said, but they're constantly fellated as the ur-WRPGs by which all others must be measured for some goddamn reason.

f3d67f No.13719992

DA:O is considered good because of lack of competition at the time of release and it was the last Bioware game that allowed for roleplaying. Lame and derivative roleplaying, yes, but you did get to kill a significant chunk of characters if they pissed you off and had several choices to resolve events. It was also the last game to mostly make it out the door before EA started fucking them into the ground.

>>13719978
DA:O is not based on D&D at all. BG uses 2e AD&D, which is actually not a terrible ruleset, but I think the biggest problem is the adoption of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting as the "default" for D&D vidya. Forgotten Realms is very fucking vanilla, and BG's writing was uninteresting, linear, formulaic. You were the Bhaalspawn, everything revolved around that and nothing else really mattered. So yes, it was restrictive (even your alignment and playstyle didn't really matter because Bhaalspawn). Icewind Dale's story was better and it was supposed to be the "combat" one, not the "story" one. Go figure.

Before this I was playing FE12 which is bretty good. Interesting map design, character balance is decent. Writing is pretty much what you'd expect. It's fairly difficult, which surprised me. I like it a lot and will probably actually finish it. My main gripe there is that Tiki's dragonstones lose a use even if she doesn't actually counter. Good thing I have a lot of stones.

To each their own, I personally find Odyssey to be vastly superior

I liked Sunshine and Galaxy too much and found the hat possession thing in Odyssey to be boring. Oh and Nintendo is still pushing the shitty select world map again. Having a world hub in Hat in time felt so nice. I'm a bit worried as there seems to only be 40 hourglass things in HiT which looks to be a short game.

>What are you playing?
Nothing at the moment; I'm revising for exams. I've got a load order for Skyrim that I've nearly finished putting together, though, and it should be pretty neat. My Mod Organizer folder's something like 80gb in size.
>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
Erm, I'll say something about the Skyrim load order. I think it's pretty neat. I've put a bunch of mods together to make the combat very Souls-esque, for one thing.
>What are you looking forward to?
The Pathologic remake and the holidays
>Got any good webms/mp4s of good gameplay?
Well, there's embed related.
>Favorite multiplayer game?
Supreme Commander? That's what I've been playing with the guys lately
>Favorite genre?
Tough choice. Immersive simulation?
>Favorite game within specific genre?
The Thief duology is pretty amazing… don't suppose Morrowind would count?
>Favorite soundtrack/single?
You can't make me choose just one. Drakengard. Bloodlines. Arcanum. Iji. Ace Combat. Unreal/Unreal Tournament (I'm a sucker for tracker music).
>Are you winning, son?
y-yeah, I think I'm pretty good for my exams

When in doubt bust out the tank. I'de expand out of that island anyway. Maybe build a big beautiful wall along the coast to the south so you can keep them out of the shoreline.

WTF? Why is that bait?
Soulstorm itself sucks I'm not claiming it doesn't. But with the right mods it's a decent game.

Fuck your formatting, I just want to vent for a second.
I was just playing the Maps of Chaos wadfile for Doom 2. It's a "reimagined" version of all of the original Doom 2 maps. This interests me because frankly, a large portion of the vanilla Doom 2 maps are either weak, incoherent as fuck, or both.
It was going all right until I got to the dreaded MAP10, Refueling Base. This map is infamous because it is the shittiest map in all of the official classic Doom maps, although Fortress of Mystery is a close second. It's a boring series of wide-open rooms filled with monsters and almost totally flat terrain. It's a tedious slog through giant crowds of monsters, most of which don't give you ammo. This map is notorious for eating up all of your ammo.
To top it all off, it suffers from a flaw in the faux-3D engine. Monsters normally start off idle and only start moving around and trying to hunt you when you fire your weapon "near" them. I put scare quotes around near because it's not actually based on a radius, it's based on whether there is an unbroken path between you and the monster. For the monster to not hear your gunfire, there has to be a door that seals completely, or no path at all between you and the monster; the sound goes around all corners. Normally this is not a problem at all because the level designers account for this and strategically place doors in the map. Additionally, many monsters will be behind cages or stuck on high platforms so they can't just all roam the map and try to kill you when you're doing something else.
MAP08 has no such luxuries. The terrain is almost totally flat. Every inch of the level is traversable by monsters. And to top it all off, the severe lack of doors results in monsters being able to hear you from across the map. Well… it can't be that bad, right? It's not like once you clear a room of monsters you have to worry about more monsters sneaking up on you from behind.
WRONG, FUCK FACE.
id's level designers, seemingly unaware of the consequences when they built the test map and were still coming to grips with the technical aspects of their levels, added monster closets which open up in rooms you've already cleared when you enter other rooms. Which means that when you shoot your gun somewhere on the other side of the level, they'll notice you. And guess what? They can actually get to you too.
You may have noticed I've only described problems with the vanilla MAP10. So what exactly did this community level designer due to deserve my ire? Well, for one thing, he didn't add a SINGLE FUCKING DOOR. For another, he added MORE FUCKING MONSTER CLOSETS WHICH OPEN UP BEHIND YOU. What a tedious fucking level.

Shadow of war
>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
So-so. It's above mediocre, in the sense that combat is a bit too easy, but then amps way harder once you're dealing with shield orcs or worse yet, the nearly invincible shield captains. They run around with a metal shield and it's a pain in the ass. The story is absolute garbage. In Shadow of Mordor, the first act is alright for lore raping fanfic, everything after it is garbage. In shadow of war, they somehow took the series to new lows.

It's pretty easy. Just research your character build. Use UESP to figure out what attributes actually do. If you make a swordsman, you need to start out with pretty high Agility, or you won't hit anything.
My agility is in the 60s right now, and I never miss. It's not that hard.

>>What are you playing?
In the last week I have played Arcanum, and RimWorld.
>>Is what you're playing good? Bad? Why?
I really love Arcanum. Despite being unpolished, it gives me the freedom in an RPG that I've always wanted, plus the tech/magic dichotomy is really nice.
RimWorld is way better than that fucking Gnomoria game. I just can't get into DF, and I don't really want to play something too complicated, so I guess RimWorld is for me. It was a good suggestion from some guy in those Kenshi threads.
Kenshi is fine too, but it just runs too hot on this toaster.
>>What are you looking forward to?
Bannerlord
Pillars of Eternity 2
Kenshi release
RimWorld release
some other toaster-friendly games I guess
That Swat game
That Animal Crossing mobile game
