/v/ - Video Games

Any final fantasy game, or almost any traditional JRPG, i feel like i'm going to have to grind for tiny/boring rewards like simply beating a boss, I guess tying the gameplay to the story just annoys my autism. Your character and/or party feels really weak and bland, or generic, orjust a story piece instead something made or built by the player. I actually enjoy grinding in Diablo and Disgaea, but the majority of these games feel so restrictive or not engaging for the grind.

I cant stand bullet-hell games but the story and setting looks interesting

YOOKA LAYLEE

WORDS CANNOT. FUCKING. EXPRESS, THE BURNING UNHOLY HOT WHITE VITRIOL FLARING INTENSELY INSIDE MY MORTAL BODY. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUCKING GAME, THE ENTITY THAT REVIVED COLLECTATHONS, BUT INSTEAD IT FUCKING SHATTERED ALL HOPES OF GAMERS OVER THE GLOBE WITHOUT A SNOWBALLS CHANCE IN HELL FOR RECOVERY. THE FUCKING MASTERMINDS WHO REVOLUTIONIZED DONKEY KONG AND CHANGED THE FACE OF VIDEO GAMES FOREVER ARE NOW DOING THE EXACT GOD DAMNED OPPOSITE BY HAVING THEIR BENT THUMBS UP THEIR BRAINDEAD BRITISH ASSES AND TURNING IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE TO APPEASE THEIR DISGUSTING TRANNY MASTERS. OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN, AND HOW HARD THEY'VE FALLEN AT THAT.

I CAN'T TELL YOU, I CANNOT EVEN VISUALLY MANIFEST THIS BITTER, SORDID, RANCID, VOLUMINOUS, RAGE WITH WORDS OR ACTIONS. IT TEARS AWAY DIRECTLY AT THE HEART OF ALL MEN, IT EATS AWAY AT MY SKIN LIKE A MUSLIM WOMAN AFTER DISOBEYING HER GOAT FUCKER OF A HUSBAND.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE FORMULA OF BANJO KAZOOIE, THEY JUST NEEDED TO JERK THEIR ITTY BITTY DICKLETS A LITTLE BIT HARDER AND KEEP IT UNIFORM, ROUTINE AND SIMPLE, INSTEAD OF THE THE BACKTRACKING, CONVOLUTED, IRRITATING, DESOLATE PIECE OF DRIED FUCKING NEGRO SHIT THAT WAS Y O O K A - L A Y L E E.

THE MAIN DESIGNS LOOKS LIKE GEX'S INBRED RETARDED BROTHER AND A PURPLE PIECE OF SHIT THAT FORCEFULLY CAME OUT OF COUNT CHOCULAS PROLAPSED ASSHOLE. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'LL GIVE THE PROBLEM SOLVERZ A SEIZURE TO HOW INSULTING THEY ARE IN THE EYES OF ALL ARTISTS, EVERY SINGLE BAD ART DIRECTION DURING NUTS AND BOLTS DEVELOPMENT GOT CHEWED OUT, SPIT OUT, INSERTED INTO A BLOODY DILATED TRANNY PUSSY AND SHAT OUT TO MAKE THE "WONDERFUL" "FANTASTIC" "NOSTALGIC" DESIGNS THAT EWKA LALEY HAD.

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE VOICES, HOW COULD YOU THE CREATORS OF HA-HYUCK GA-HYUCK HYUCK FORGET HOW THE GIBBERISH GLOBBLEDYGOOK SOUNDS LIKE? WHICH ONE OF MUHAMMADS CAMELS FUCKED YOU SO HARD IT DAMAGED YOUR BRAINCELLS, YOU BRITISH SACKS OF WHITE ESTROGENIC GUILT?

THE WORLDS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TINY AND COMFORTABLE, THE MUSIC NEEDED TO BE MEMORABLE, NOT SOY BASED UKELELELELELE, I COULD PRACTICALLY FEEL THE INSIPID SPITE THE "DEVS" PROJECTED ONTO THIS DIRREAH DRIZZLED, PUS PAMPERED WORK OF "'ART"', FROM THE SELF-IMMOLATING HUMOR, TO THE GARBAGE REPLACEMENTS OF DR. POZ AND THE DRUMF BEE, ALL THE WAY TO THE FUCKING HUB WORLD. IT'S ALL SIN, ALL OF IT.

VERY FEW OF YOU UNDERSTAND, I DIDN'T ONLY GROW UP ON RAREWARE, I AM RAREWARE, I WAS BORN IN IT, MOLDED BY IT, AND EXPERIENCING SOMETHING SO BADLY EXECUTED IS NOT ONLY AN INSULT FOR ME THE PLAYER, BUT FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON READING THIS AND THEIR EXISTENCE AS A WHOLE.

HOW DARE YOU, HOW DARE YOU CALL THIS A "RARE-VIVAL" YOU PLACCID WITTOLS, THIS IS THE TRUE DEATH OF RARE. THIS IS HOW I KNOW VIDEOGAMES ARE DEAD. IF YOU'RE READING THIS STEVE, GREG, GRANT, KILL YOURSELVES. YOUR TIME IS UP, IT WASN'T MICROSOFT YOU INCOMPTENT TWATS, IT WAS YOU THE ENTIRE TIME, YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM THE CONSEQUENCES, YOU ARE PAST YOUR PRIME, YOU NO LONGER BRING ANYTHING NEW, FRESH AND EXCITING TO THE TABLE, AND INSTEAD YOU BRING THE TIRED OF SLABS OF SHIT THAT EVERYONE ELSE OUTSIDE YOUR CIRCLE IS CHOKING DOWN. YOU AREN'T UNIQUE, YOU AREN'T LOVED, YOU ARE AS MEDIOCRE AS THE REST OF THE FAGGOTS RAPING VIDEOGAMES, AND NOTHING MORE YOU DO IS GOING TO FIX THAT. EVER.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

What the fuck has been going on with this board in the past few months?

Perfectly fine threads like this one keep getting sagebombed by faggots like these who make no valuable addition.

This isn't a template thread, this isn't a random shitpost, this a normal fucking thread. I think it's the same few people doing it as well, because it's always the same shit.

ur a fag xD

Why don't you niggers stop cooning and post in a thread you like instead of shitting the place up like cuckchan refugees?

I can't into SRPGs, at all. They all look so fun and have good looking characters but I just can't into turn based SRPGs.

Tried Disgea, Summon Night, FF Tactics and SRW.

The worst thing is SRW. I know moon, I love mecha and I LOVE the animations and interactions between the characters but the gameplay just bores me to tears.

>>14483789

Swordcraft Story is real time, and it's the spin-off. Main series Summon Night are SRPGs that originated on the PS1.

>>14483794

I didn't know this.

>>14483861

There are more spin-offs that aren't SRPGs, though Swordcraft Story are the most fun if you ask me.

There's a DS game which is interesting to play, and there's a PS2 game that lets you control two characters I think.

I like RTS games, but multiplayer is cancer. Since they are games, and are limited by that fact, at any time there is a meta game. Meaning you basically have to apply a preset strategy to a T through some boring spreadsheet bullshit to even have a chance. The maps are always small as shit too. Add onto that everyone wants to play in turbo mode which means your troops pretty much auto resolve any conflict they are in.

>>14483723

>I don't know what sage bombing is

>I whine about zero contributions while doing nothing but whining

Leading by example is for faggots apparently. Being puzzled by a picture of a hack & slash while talking about strategy games also equates to "ur a fag xD" too apparently.

Neck yourself idiot.

Any online game.

Never been able to bring myself to go online. Hell, I even bought Splatoon for fifteen bucks and never played anything past the Singleplayer.

It's just that video games are supposed to be calm and stress-free, they're supposed to be escapism.

>>14484046

As someone who hates online and gets shot nerves from competitive battles, I can say turf wars in splatoon are mostly free of that stress you speak of. Aim can matter, sure, but you can absolutely spend the battle avoiding conflict and painting shit behind everyone's back and you'll actually be a deciding factor in the victory. That, and 3 minute battles keep things painless when you're getting steamrolled.

In fact, it's the only example I can think off where the coop mode (salmon run in 2) is more stressful than the competitive one.

I don't know how alive the first one is though.

>>14483535

I didn't have a large bank of RTS pictures so I just post ones with lots of shit on the screen

>>14483714

preddy bad :(

>>14483742

Particularly the build order fucks me up. There's shortcuts you can use to build things faster but I'm the sort to navigate through menus. Brainlet comments withstanding,I think its one of those cases where I'd probably do better if I thought less and did more.

>>14483960

I played one match of CoH with a friend where he took the roll of pushing and I played defense and long range support. He kept getting pissy at me for not pushing far enough but when my artillery hit. Boyo, let me tell you…

>>14484030

I got really frustrated one time in a DoW40k working on my ORK build/early cap phase for a baby's first map and kept getting torn up by SPACE MAHREENS. Were the ORKz gimped in that game or what?

I really,REALLY want to get into it,but every time i try i usually end up getting fucked by walking the wrong way into a bunch of super mutants,weapons too weak to even kill radscorpions,or just simple bad luck.

>>14483623

Why do I see this game everywhere now?

I love big rpg-sandbox games and in the past I legitimately beat games like Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 3 / NV.

I really want to enjoy Fallout 4 any Witcher Game and/or Kingdom Come but it just feels like the whole concept is dead to me.

>>14484656

Why? It's so inefficient. Certainly you can remember a few shortcuts. It really speeds up and improves your performance in any game to be adept with the mechanics.

>>14487549

Make you character be able to reason, talk, fight in melee, and you may want him to be able to use a gun. How is that so difficult?

>>14483045

I feel more or less the same way about them. I suck at most of them, specially slow-but-must-go-fast RTS like AOEII. Best i can do is fighting hard AI on housing-minimal RTS like Cossacks. And i feel it's too late for me to git gud at them in 2018, with all the pros patrolling the multiplayer.

That doesn't mean i can't enjoy them, though, because they're the only strategy games that can satiate my city/army building and civ stat autism. Every other strategy game just feels like a battle-oriented JRPG or the differences between civs and characters don't really matter.

Life.

>>14483984

Wrong chan mate.

>>14491068

I don't think that's just you getting bored, I felt the same and I've still been enjoying going back through games like New Vegas. There's so much good about the game that should work, but doesn't because Bethesda are lazy and awful. "Reddit" formatting to be more easily read:

Building settlements lets you make your own towns or house and customize it how you'd like - but you're severely limited without mods and the game basically forces you to focus on this and pigeonholes you into making the bare minimum to just spam towns everywhere for quests (Railroad and Minutemen both want the same for different reasons).

Weapon customization and the crafting from any materials should allow you to tweak your guns and make your own personalized equipment, as well as making junk items serve a purpose aside from set dressing - only a handful of guns can actually be modified beyond just basic upgrades and choice of scopes/barrel attachments, and the junk materials basically just incentivize you to hoard trash. (I still like the junk crafting a bit, though. It adds a little bit of the scavenger feeling to the game.)

There's wasted potential all over, the graphics are far better than previous Fallout titles but it still just all looks like muddy brown and green and grey all over the majority of the map. The music is absolutely amazing but outside of the sequence where you leave Vault 111 there's no emotional impact because of shit writing. The gunplay is fun as hell but scaling enemies just mean every fight devolves into you plinking away at bullet sponges or tanking hits in your power armour. The Power Armour feels really cool and powerful but there's so many fusion cores scattered about that you can just use it infinitely and be a walking tank the entire game (and you get it so fucking early on). Then there's just the absolute abortive aspects of the game; voiced protagonist and solidified backstory removes all ability to roleplay (and limits modding, Bethesda's only saving grace), you literally cannot be an evil character in the game no matter what, the factions are all retarded in their goals (except the Brotherhood), there's ZERO way to complete the game without sucking one of the factions' dicks, there's no attempt at chronological or lore consistency, the dialogue options are too basic to even have a purpose, and the less said about the retarded story the better.

welcome to /vr9k/

where anti social spergs are the loudest with their pent up resentment towards everything and everyone, especially themselves

>>14483045

I think you hold your units in too high regard. It's okay for them to die, it's the nature of the game for there to be sacrifices for the greater good. Just play the games and you'll get better at them, but steer clear of multiplayer. Multiplayer RTS is complete cancer.

>>14492300

That's depressing, and to be honest i can understand why. I really can't bring myself to play singleplayer videogames anymore unless it's skirmish, roguelike, autsim or just has decent RNG. Almost every game just feels to me like i'm just walking on an empty hallway with no secrets or side shit, killing a few dumb AIs, brainlessly rushing into a boss and reloading a save a million times until victory since there's no reason to use strategy other than defeating it faster, after 3 hours finally gain a new skill that becomes useless after 30 more minutes of AI grinding, everything is either a lazy linear game where you just follow a bunch of predictable scripted events or a shitty open-world where actions don't really have impact in the game's world and repeating this shit for hours with no rewards, purpose or incentives other than just watching generic story cutscenes i could just watch on youtube and feel no difference from having beaten the game myself, other than just spending more hours on it.

I know there are some exceptions, but these are probably just the minority anyways and so many SP games like these put me off from doing research.

I also wish I could git gud at rts and not just try to turtle and throw massive armies at the AI as that doesn't work in pvp whatsoever. I also got gifted TW3 but it just doesn't pull me in whatsoever.

He is being a faggot, but you're also doing spacing for single lines. Stop trying so hard to fit in.
