Septerra Core and Mega Turrican (watch the intro, it's fucking delirious)

>>16132509

Septerra Core looks fucking amazing, I will have to play it later on after I finish Oni. So does Mega Turrican, especially with that fucking music, thanks for the recommendations anon.

>>16132507

>Get to play as any character with all their powers.

What do you mean any character? Do you mean any story-character or do you mean any NPC?

>Being so triggered you need to make a thread to push your false interpretation of a word

>>16132542

The word was a forced meme to begin with, and was then hijacked as part of a larger campaign. It's a free-for-all these days.

>>16132500

In Shogo, headshots heal you. That alone was the right evolution for healing in FPS, but unfortunately Halo normalized recharging shields.

>>16132500

>Weeb games

Those would be VNs and waifushit rpgs. A weeb would never touch a western made action game with anime aesthetics.

>>16132542

What the fuck are you talking about? Those threads appear on /v/ from time to time.

>>16132566

That sounds cool actually, it also doesn't seem to try to use drawn/photo portraits which almost always look awful in older wester fantasy games Heroes 2 as an example

>>16132529

Each character in the game (be they NPCs, enemies or allies) has their own set of moves and special attacks (the quantity varies from character to character). If you use the cheat you can change your model to whatever character you wish and use his/her moves.

halo made sense in the first game with its shield recharge + health, every other gaylo game sucked ass for just being a regenerating shield then with no HP

>halo ruins everything le XD

half life 2 if anything ruined FPS games along with crysis and doom 3

>>16132584

That is absolutely fucking amazing, I have never heard of another game doing that.

>>16132525

Turrican is a fun series to get into. Mega is one of the better games but make sure you also play the first two on the Amiga and Super Turrican on the SNES. By the way, the guys behind this stuff pretended to be Japanese when they were putting out Apidya, so you might want to check it out as well.

>>16132608

Guardian Heroes lets you do this in arena mode. You can even play NPCs that don't have movelists, like rabbits or grannies.

>>16132608

Dino Crisis 2 let you do that in an arena minigame. You could even play against other people while using any enemy/character in the game. I remember I had a match with a buddy in which he was a Gigantosaurus and I was a tank.

>>16132604

>along with crysis and doom 3

You're positively retarded

>>16132551

>>16132577

More games were inspired by Medal of Honor than Gaylo. Gaylo didn't even start the two weapon limit.

I'm surprised to see the amount of Halo fans on /v/, honestly. I remember a time when nobody would touch the game.

dat ayy lmao pussy is 100% though

>>16132774

>Medal of Honor

>2 Weapon limit

The fuck are you on about?

>>16132500

The Jian faction in EYE is full weeb.

>>16132604

>half life 2 if anything ruined FPS games along with crysis and doom 3

lolwat

You don't see any games coming out that take elements from Crysis, Doom 3 or Half-Life 2.

The whole "cinematic campaign" shit comes from 2000's WW2 shooters. HL2 was story-focused, but not cinematic. Most of the game is actually quite small-scale and slow paced up until the last few hours.

>>16132783

I said those two things as two separate points, I didn't mean to imply that MoH had a 2 weapon limit.

>no more shogo

>the best of the best

Sad making. I still love it to death.

A many will call it cheap for the hitscan but they just don't know how to stop putting their hand in the fire. Shame. It had a very short multiplayer life, as well.

>>16132604

>half life 2 if anything ruined FPS games

>HL2 was singleplayer-focused

>HL2 had no weapon limits

>HL2 was built up as a long journey rather than a rollercoaster that constantly showed you the goods

>HL2 had several different enemy types

>HL2 was longer than 4 hours

>HL2 had a few unique weapons instead of 50 similar ones

>HL2 had no iron sights

None of this speaks to HL2's quality, but what ruined FPS was the focus on multiplayer and cawadooty mechanics. What the fuck are you talking about? Barely any games take inspiration from HL2.

>>16132798

>Barely any games take inspiration from HL2.

I mean, the halofag's wrong, but every game and their dog had physics engines after HL2.

Reminder that this thread is about Weeb games, not FPS (except for SHOGO).

>>16132577

It was always shit. Baby's first FPS.

>>16132577

>defending Halo

Millennial cuckchanners need not apply.

>>16132798

>Half-Life 2

We are used to believe that a masterpiece is always cause for excitement, which brings in new attention and artists. But sometimes the reaction is the opposite, of cooling.

Half-Life 2 discouraged competitors from ever trying to challenge it, it was just too big. Only Bioshock ever tried to achieve the same things, but briefly and on a smaller scale.

1. But /v/irgins are millennial weebs who played more nintendo than classic pc gaming until hitting 15.

2. But the internet generation only knows what's on youtube and wikipedia, so they lack what was once basic knowledge. Like that Half-Life used to be the focus of the entire FPS gaming community, which in turn explains the feverish wait for 2.

Reminder that this thread is about Weeb games, not FPS (except for SHOGO).

>>16132891

I grew up playing PC games and the problem is they don't really compare to console games. I just played them because it's all I had. I also had a delusional period where I tried to convince myself they were actually really good and the world was missing out but I was fooling myself, more often than not I'd turn to emulation and enjoy my time a lot more playing all kinds of games.

"I HAVE MY ORDERS SIR, PLEASE BE NICE TO ME"

>>16132794

>A many will call it cheap for the hitscan but they just don't know how to stop putting their hand in the fire

Shitscan weapons are never fun video games and there's proof out there that AI in this game are aimbotting hard.

>people using the reddit version of "weeb"

reminder weeb is the new nerdy and there's a reason it went from an insult targeted at faggots who wished they were japanese and shunned their own background.

>weeb

You need to go back

>>16132916

You're as beliveable as the cuckchan console war faggots who post about their experiences on the platforms they're trying to make fun of.

>>16133358

>>16133403

The people who made these games were the weeaboos of their time.

Bungie and Monolith fellated tons of stuff from Japan.

The guy who created Wizardry literally lives in Japan with a Japanese wife.

Please stop talking about shit you know nothing about.

For a game that was obviously never finished, I love it to death, it's got so much charm even if it feels bare bones at best, the gameplay is brutal, but that's what makes it fun, and I bet this was the main inspiration for FEAR, as when FEAR was being developed, it was supposed to be another Anime Homage, this time about the paranormal.

>>16133499

They like nip shit, weeb means they reject their heritage as people and wish they were japanese.

They fellated japan yes but they didn't reject who they were

>>16133499

>The people who made these games were the weeaboos of their time.

You do realize these games came out during the PS1 age, when japanese niche games were commonly available? Everybody was well aware of japanese gaming, probably more than now. To say weebs thought these were japanese, is like saying Avatar The Last Airbender was considered anime.

>>16133523

Stop sperging over semantics mate, it's clear to everyone except you as to who meant what.

>>16133549

>semantics

the word changed heavily and became the new "nerdy". someone is now considered a weeb for simply liking nip shit.

Bastardizing language is what sub-humans do

>>16133557

I get it. Everyone here gets it. Now stop shitting up the thread.

I too loved F.E.A.R.: Origins

Albion and Anachronox were influenced by JRPGs. Also, special thanks to Final Fantasy VII and VIII for inspiration in the credits of Planescape Torment; make of that what you will.

>>16134190

fuck off reddit

we can spot you by your reddit spacing

>>16133515

same, one of my old favorites I come back to every couple of years or so

>>16134384

That's advanced leddit spacing. It's like cruise control for ramming soylent bottles up your pooper shooter.

>>16133530

They're weeb games because they're made by weeaboos you retard

>>16132566

I want to play this game so badly, but all fixes for FPS issues are Nvidia cards only.

>>16134459

>They're weeb games because they're made by weeaboos you retard

They're the same devs who made Myth and Halo, you fucking millennial. Your whole reasoning will lead you to think anything cel shaded is anime.

>>16134598

>They're the same devs who made Myth and Halo

What's your point?

>>16132788

>that mod that allows you to play asymetrical shogo vs soldier

best fucking time I ever had at a lan

>>16134226

The entire system JRPGs are built on - 3-4 party members, turn based combat with no movement - was itself copied from early blobbers like Wizardry

>>16135217

That is wrong, but it's okay to be wrong so you can learn the next time.

>>16135236

Devs interviewed about their ideas like for Dragonquest specifically cite Wizardry and Might and Magic. The whole RPG genre is practically a feedback loop if it wasn't for SJW poisoning everything good in this world.

>>16132500

Shadow Madness is a JRPG made by localizers

>>16132798

Oh you get to control your character during the story! Wouldnt you rather skip this part and enjoy some actual gameplay?

>>16133293

>shitscan

Anon, I can see where you are coming from, but I am pretty sure that’s an OW term

Are you ok?

How new are you?

>>16135293

>you guys were inspired by something once so that means everyone who ever made a game similar to yours is just copying the same thing

literal retardation

>>16137084

The only good thing about hl2 were the mods that used the engine, like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

>>16137119

dark messiah isn't a mod retard

>>16137129

Posts like this remind me how deeply reddit has invaded this place.

>>16137155

>any game made on the same engine are mods

posts like this have been getting made for over 10 years and they've never held any truth and have always been retarded

>>16137155

Your unfunny joke is still unfunny

>>16137166

>changing definitions around to suit thine own needs

As if you needed anymore proof that the old ways of imageboards can ever be returned to, there's this fart-smeller.

>>16137185

Yeah, my ways are long gone, the days of /v/ in 2006, fighting amphibians can never be returned to. Still doesn't make games on the same engine a mod, cry about it.

>>16137202

Haha, you wish you were an oldfag. I can tell from your posting style that you hadn't even stepped foot on an imageboard until far AFTER /sp/ filled up with britbongs and other Eurofags ruining sports discussion.

>>16137227

Don't have to wish, I've had the problem since 2005. How about you? How is Dark Messiah a mod?

>>16137242

Yeah this board has gone to shit but it's much funnier why than le reddit invaders like yourself, 24576f and 70a3a7.

>>16137227

Please don't feed retards, they get off from being retarded.

>>16137094

You have no idea just how much Wizardry and Ultima is directly responsible for design decisions in Dragon Quest, Hori is a huge fan of those two games so he essentially took what he felt was the best parts of those games and combined them together while making them more accessible. Even the Slime comes from some blob looking character in Wizardry scribbled down and given to Toriyama.

>>16137320

I think it does. I have it on disc, have to try it.

>>16137277

>I do

No you don't, Dragon Quest 1 isn't "something inspired by Ultima" it is Ultima. Everything from the game is either straight from Ultima, this includes the top down view btw, or Wizardry. Final Fantasy 1 is the same thing, Ultima and Wizardry, except the battles are a side view. Que Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy ports that become popular overseas. Pretty much everything about JRPGs can be traced back to this cross cultural contamination.

>>16135217

Yes, but those games were specifically influenced by the Japanese application of those elements. And also 90s JRPG aesthetic.

>>16132500

>with unfortunately terrible critical strike mechanic that makes the game frustrating at times

Use third person to look in corners, that could help give you the advantage.

>>16132551

It wasn't headshots. It was a 5% chance to get 5% of your health back afaik. Shogo does have headshots but it multiplies too little damage to be useful.

>>16132794

Difficulties multiply the delay between periods of fire, which is already based on RNG in some ways.

>>16133293

They have abnormally high accuracy although level designers could modify perimeters to modify accuracy, among other values that could change AI behavior. The difficulty also modified this.

>>16133515

>obviously never finished

Definitely a bunch of unused mechanics in the code and unused content in the files. In fact, the 09_Comm1 level has the entirety of the sewer level after 10_Comm2.

Ask me your Shogo questions.

>>16132577

Tyrone, I don't know how to tell you this…

>>16137320

>X-Blades

Wasn't that the game where melee was mostly useful for charging up your magic attacks?

>>16142688

>Ask me your Shogo questions.

Why was the game not playtested and why can't it be finished on the highest difficulty?

>>16142916

>not playtested

I was not a dev team member (just a fan), so I have to go on what I know of the code and all the different scraps of news and articles.

I can't be a judge to whether or not they playtested it, but from what I know, what happened is that they didn't have time to make the Shogo they wanted. They basically scrapped everything from bits of the story to gameplay mechanics. So the Shogo we got is a series of loosely connected table scraps, and the time to wrap it all up might have led to them not actually re-balancing and polishing the gameplay. Its a shitshow.

>why can't it be finished on the highest difficulty

The enemies are horrendously overpowered. They can do more damage to the player than the player can do on them. And all of this with enhanced accuracy.

>>16143066

>The enemies are horrendously overpowered. They can do more damage to the player than the player can do on them. And all of this with enhanced accuracy.

Isn't that the way games should be played?

>>16142916

I think the ridiculous AI reaction times are one of those bugs that only happens on modern hardware, I don't remember it being nearly this bullshit back when I first played it.

>>16143098

Eh, from what I saw in the code there is no delay between them seeing you and shooting. There is a delay if they are not looking in your direction (if they don't notice the player or a hostile NPC they will just look around) when you pop out but it is only slight.

>>16132500

>Sudeki

Shame the ending was really shitty. Just a straight cut to the credits after the boss is killed. I guess that a strong tell of problems in development and it's a shame how this is the only game that had any promise from the dev studio, as if they were saving resources for this chance at making something that they wanted to. At least one of the guys from the project posted an extension of the ending that didn't make it in the game.

>>16132891

What the fuck are you talking about? What Bioshock set out to "achieve" was to take the concepts of System Shock and dumb them down for consolebabies.

>>16132500

>By weeb games I mean, games that are made by westerners trying to ape anime aesthetic to appeal to weebs.

I call them "weebshit".

>>16132604

COD and Halo fucked over the FPS genre. Halo only looks good in retrospect because so many shit games that copied it were even worse.

Bungie chose easy cash over quality in the long run, and that is why their games are always half-cocked.

>>16132798

Half-Life 2 was fine for the most part. It failed to capture what made Half-Life great, both in terms of facilitating how mods are handled and in terms of overall story and pacing. City 17 was a cool destination that Laidlaw wanted to be the whole story, which ultimately sucks when you are a dimension hopping mad scientist with the government after you.
