Can you give me some recommendations for games that came out in 2017 that aren't multiplayer and don't have microtransactions of any kind?
everything i've played this year has been older stuff and i'd like to get something new under my belt

I will never know if this game is actually good or not because I can't bring myself to play an RPG sequel without playing the first one and the first one is such poorly written garbage I can't possibly get through it.

Here is what I'm trying to say by "???".
As you've said some games you've liked, most - disliked. That's the case for the indie scene as a whole, so if from cover alone I can conclude that most of them are likely not that good why are these games included and a ton, literally a ton of other games released in 2017 not? Are they not worth checking out? Why?
There is also a question of "do they stand up to competition of other indie, flash and shovelware games from earlier years?" If not - then they are not worthwhile by default.
Not to take anything from your experience with actually good games, just heavily doubting the quality of the pic.
>>13931503
Well, there is new mh releasing soon. This year if we include beta.
>>13931530
You are retarded. Serviceable MP offers challenge and experience that can't and won't be reproduced in SP, it's by default better than not having MP at all. Whatever you like it or not in any particular case is not the point.

Not my image anon.
Personally a few of the games on that list don't even deserve to be looked at. Heat Signature is, in my opinion, utter garbage and a huge step down from the creator's previous game, Gunpoint.
Jydge is only fun for the final hour of gameplay when you get to nightmare and hardcore and the medals start forcing you to try out different firemodes and playstyles, otherwise it's a pretty basic shooter than isn't even better than Neon Chrome and it forces you into sacrificing two mod slots just so civilians don't die so easily and you don't get the bad ending.
Aztez is fuck. I don't really know what to compare it to but it's fuck.
Mummy Demastered looks and sounds great, but stumbles a bit in the gameplay department and also has some of the worst bosses you'll even encounter. Every boss has at most three attacks, and they have a shitload of health so the entire boss fight is them doing these one or two patterns stretched out for over 5 or so minutes.
Mr Shifty feels like a flash game. It's a fun game, but it lacks a lot of depth. Same deal with Battle Chaser
Monolith isn't particularly bad. In fact I think it's the best of these Binding of Isaac type of games. I personally just dislike these type of roguelites so I didn't mention it.
Those are the ones that I played.
Never actually knew Shovel Knight got it's second campaign though. Has King Knight's campaign also been released? Can I finally play the game or is it still incomplete?
I feel like the five I mentioned as well as Monolith are the ones out of the games that I've played that are worth a play. Hand of Fate 2 I'm still divided on, I can't say if I like it more or less than the previous game.

See you might be onto something there, because serviceable MP is good yeah but since it doesn't currently exist good MP doesn't either, excluding MP with friends obviously since excluding the most horrid shit almost everything is actually somewhat fun with friends.
>experience that can't and won't be reproduced in SP
You're right in SP I don't want the suffering to end ASAP so I can go back to actually having fun.

But shitposting aside regardless of who you are or what you think about MP I dare you to say that any somewhat recent community comes even close to how simple and fun most communities around the early 2000s were.

I would probably agree with you, but if you want to argue that much, then subcommunities within communities, niche games and non-mainstream EA games. 8/v/ *gamename*, road redemption and interstellar marines are good examples.

But most of those niche community seem to lack the same attitude that made me enjoy MP back then, probably me projecting my expectations onto other plays a role into that too

And then don't shitpost, especially if it's going to bite back at you.
Eitherway, the original statement was "There is a case where someone could enjoy some MP" which is true and was aimed at idiots that either paint everything black and white or just don't know anything with MP other than mainstream games.
>Basically shit changed, I don't enjoy it anymore
The only thing that it's changed, is that it's not as easily accessible, it's not a default option and you have to consciously make a choice to get what you want.

1. Not trash, but trash.
2. Every year it's guaranteed that there will come out tons of good shmups and jrpgs (which is way more in comparison to other games), so the question is "why are those games worth checking out if they are average in comparison to other shmups and jrpgs?"
3. And if they are worth checking out for fans, they should probably be placed in a separate category so they don't pollute the list.

Sonic Mania was good. but it has denuvo on PC so either pirate it or get it on console
Snake pass was also good, in a weird way though.
Sky rogue isn't worth the $20 price tag, but if you pirate it I would consider it passable.
If you consider ports from console to PC to be "new" then you should take a look at Star Ocean: The last hope. It's absolute trash, has annoying character except for bacchus and welch and has a plot that's as edgy as an emo fourteen year old at a Marilyn Manson concert, but there's something about it that keeps me coming back for more. Would recommend pirating it once it's cracked.

How would you know what is considered an average shmup to begin with? That's only a supposition on your part that that actually is the case. 2015 and 2016 had good shmup releases all around like you wouldn't believe. It's a niche genre, so the actual amount of people caring about them is already innately small no matter how good the games are. It's not that that makes them bad, but a lot of people wouldn't care about them in the same way that people don't care about strategy or fighting games.

Mere fact that they always get overrepresented means that they are mostly average in comparison to each other. They also are extremely rigid within their genre and rarely drastically differ in terms of gameplay mechanics. This is a case to the point where you can pick a pretty much random jrpg\shmup and it wouldn't be that far worse or better from the ones that get featured.
I don't care about other people's tastes, but if you get 10 shmups and 10 jrpgs and then only 1 game of any other genre, then you either need to separate shmups and jrpgs from genre unique games or elaborate why and how each of those games deserve to stand among usually genre unique games. It's common sense. And the fact that only a small amount of people even likes shmups and jrpgs makes it even worse.

They are to outsiders. You're mostly referring to surface-level mechanics whose existence and implications are obvious from the surface, which is why shmups like Ikaruga are popular even though a only disproportionate portion of players plays it seriously, as in trying to 1cc it instead of creditfeeding. The thing is that shmups mostly rely on deeper scoring systems whose workings aren't immediately obvious, try telling me what's going on in Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu without looking up a guide. And within those scoring systems there's a fuckton of variety to be found. The thing is that most people don't particularly care about scorechasing, even if getting more score earns you more lives, because most people aren't willing to thoroughly practice a game until they can beat it with one credit. It's the same thing with fighting games. A good deal of shmup releases this year has already been omitted from the start, if that's what you're asking. It's one thing if they're identical in quality, but I assume you have some personal tastes and preferences at the very least to stick with some games in particular even if they're objectively not the very best. Nor is being objectively the very best the point of this list.

>>If it's not AAA then it's indie
I am fucking appalled at this sentiment, but I run into it more and more. There are a growing number of mouth-breathers who believe that anything put out by a major publisher is a AAA game. That anything which receives a 85% or greater score on Metacritic is a AAA game. That the mark of a AAA game is a $60 launch price.
I'm almost to the point of wondering if this isn't a concerted effort to try to kill AA in the mind of the public by conflating those titles so heavily with bloated AAA trash that the narrative of "games are too expensive to produce these days" gets reinforced and leveraged to push even harder to justify microtransactions/lootboxes.

Generally, what you are saying is, if a person goes to check out the shmup that is featured and just goes for singular completion, it wouldn't make that much of a difference if he were to pick any other shmup game from the same list. Only a fan that gets deep into the system can notice the difference.
So
>but I assume you have some personal tastes and preferences at the very least to stick with some games in particular even if they're objectively not the very best
no, my point is, if I want to check out a game I want the choice to matter and selection to be reasonable. If I am generally going to have the same experience with games of the same genre featured on the list, and they take way more space than a game from any other genre, then I'd really appreciate if those games were either limited to only the best ones the genre has to offer or if they were condensed into a separate entity so I wouldn't trip over them every single fucking time I want to check out something from a list.
That way I can have an easier time picking a game and people that are within a niche get to have their cake.

Each shmup tries to have its own gimmick in order to stand out from the others, but shmups being very short by design have to rely on scoring or a high degree of challenge for replay value. Which one you prefer is up to you. You have my word for it that the Japanese-only releases and the not so stellar ones like Raiden V have already been omitted.

Are you retarded? How each of those are so different that they each and every one of them deserve a slot/attention that could be taken by/given to an entirely different (not the same game with different gimmick) unique game that can't be simply crammed into any one genre?
Fuck, I'd say that pretty much every other game that gets featured has to have a gimmick to stand out, more over it has to beat within a genre every other game that also had a gimmick, why do shmups and jrpgs get to bring their friends?
Sure, fine, shmups are short and thus deserve bigger representation, just group them up and fucking place them separately from other games.

Is this shmups and jrpgs you're talking about or games in general? Because you're making it sound like dozens of identical first-person shooters are fine if they're a good throwback or something. Common consensus too is that Cuphead's gameplay is nothing special, the only thing standing out being the visuals, but who cares about the visuals that much anyways? Are you trying to tell me that Cuphead doesn't deserve a mention?
>and every one of them deserve a slot/attention that could be taken by/given to an entirely different (not the same game with different gimmick) unique game that can't be simply crammed into any one genre
And how exactly would you know what would fit that bill? Moreover, by what standard would they be unique? If I were managing unique games solely then this chart would be a lot larger, but being unique doesn't directly correlate to being good.
For you I don't have any baseline for shmups to work with, nor do I think you have one yourself either. You'd have to have played several of them to really come to such an understanding, otherwise your idea that all shmup rook same is a generalization on your part. Nor are you required to be a fan to understand them, but the dedication required to just 'complete' a shmup tends to carry over and be much higher compared to other genres, as is the nature of arcade-styled games. That's what they mean by being a niche, and all shmups are, it varies from person to person what makes a game worth seriously getting into. And even if it's not the most innovative or unique shmup available, so what? What matters is that you have fun and a good time, which is what most of the games in the chart should hopefully accomplish. It's not about being the best games of 2017, but to beat least worth a try by anyone. And even if it is niche for a niche audience, why wouldn't this be the time to try new waters? And if there's a similar experience on the market, why not try both? Maybe the other is better in terms of execution, maybe not.
Besides, in your case I'd also have to leave out story-driven sequels, which is another dropped beehive that would lead to many appalled grunts.

well, it probably is? but the game is pretty lewd as it is, there's a "censor" option you can turn off right in the menu (although it doesn't affect haydee herself) – I'm not really a fan of lewd mods myself, and it's not like I'm too good for them or anything; I love a lewd game like AA2, it's just because I find they tend to detract from the game (or distract me from the game, heh)

You are retarded.

Quality is a part of what makes a game stand out. If the game isn't different or not good enough to be unique, then fucking exclude it from any kind of recommendation.
>What matters is that you have fun and a good time, which is what most of the games in the chart should hopefully accomplish
No, charts are made for lazy people to explore new grounds that don't do vidya research. If someone with lower standarts wanted to have "fun and good time" they could literally pick any fucking average game.
If someone doesn't want to experience any one game from shmup or jrpg genre, then he pretty much doesn't want to experience any shmup or jrpg featured on the list.
>b-but y-you are generalizing, you don't know much

This is your point, and I'm arguing within this point. You are an idiot.

Again, you are retarded. Niche means a specific type of game that only targets to please/pleases a small group of people that are within that niche.

This has nothing to do with my tastes and my prejudice towards a genre, you don't know what they are and thus you come up with stuff. Stop.
If there were genres overrepresented like shmups and jrpgs were and they were pretty much identical outside of scoring systems or some other negligible difference, I'd shit on them too. For example platformers. Some of them definitely need to be trimmed off the list, but since they differ in core gameplay most of the time (unlike shmups or jrpgs) I'd have to play every one of them to figure out which ones.
One of the SS VR games probably too needs a cut.

I really don't know what you're referring to here because you refuse to name any examples.

The implications of scoring systems are large within. You say it's negligible but you can't name a single example for why that would be the case because you don't seem to have an idea what you are talking about since you can only refer to shmups in general.
>Some of them definitely need to be trimmed off the list, but since they differ in core gameplay most of the time (unlike shmups or jrpgs) I'd have to play every one of them to figure out which ones

Well, doi. Of course it's not your problem. Are you that clueless that I need to spell out the obvious for you?

>Again, you're only assuming.
1. I've played games from the genre and know that market is oversaturated with shmups, so it's more of a conclusion than an assumption.
2. Even if it is a weak argument, you or anyone else didn't provide a stronger counter argument that makes it laughable.
3. Your entire case for difference of shmups seems to be completely negated by me not acknowledging anything related to scoring systems since as you've said it's a prerogative of fans maybe not even just fans, but specific kinds of autists that are within a niche which are even smaller amount of people, though my argument doesn't require this much precision, people that are already within a niche, not for the non-invested folk that are there to just check out games (for which the lists are made for).

To make it clear, when I'm calling you an idiot, I'm not trying to dismiss you, and I don't have any problem with you or anyone else enjoying said games.
It's just that you are trying to explain to me things that aren't relevant to breaking my arguments and completely miss the points or the context in which they were made, time and time again. Or that you just can't keep up with every difference within my arguments that I make replying to you.
Regardless of what it is, if that is the case, please ignore my previous post when replying (since it would only complicate things) and just tell me what I need to reestablish for my arguments to make sense to you.
