/v/ - Video Games

On the NES there was a game called Solar Jetman. You just putter around in low-grav environments, looking for things. Some things you need, because they make you go fuel and others are just random loot. Boxes of bananas. Plutonium. One of those British phone boxes. They're not totally unguarded; there are machines patrolling, as if left there by a long-dead civilization. You never encounter another living thing.

You have to be careful penetrating unexplored areas, because one shot will wreck your pod. As long as you're controlled in your movements and deliberate in how you tackle things, it's fine. Except for in a few parts where some niggerbot will snipe you from off screen.

This, for me, is maximum comfy, and I think about going yesdev just to have a modern one with non-busted physics, new planets, etc.

You oughta do it. I personally don't think the game was comfy, but it was enjoyable and had pleasant and consistently goofy atmosphere. My idea of comfy was more like boating around in the easy levels of Cobra Triangle just doing jumps and shooting shit, or (to jump generations a little) getting on a bike in early San Andreas and just riding listening to the bike noises.

Soaking in the atmosphere of the settlements in the First Metro game (only played that one so far) Moving from FUCK THAT SHIT tunnels, Into these small bastions of humanity was comfy as fuck

Megaman Legends is pretty damn comfy. But maybe it's because I used to play it a lot as a kid and it reminds me of good times. The game isn't too challenging and the music can be pretty comfy when walking around the town.

Final Fantasy 8 always gives me that comfy feeling.

There was a comfy game on PS3 where you just fly around. Forgot the name

>>16863857

>Oblivion

nice game to just wander around in picking flowers not bothered at all by the imminent peril of the universe at hand

>>16863885

That's pretty much how I played it when I was in dire need of comfyness. Or I would just explore the castles, sewer or other unique places. The game lost it's charm to me recently though.

>>16863910

>comfy

I haven't played the remake, only the original one from like six years ago, but nigga that shit ain't comfy. That game is terrifying.

The first time I went into Dark Bramble sent me into a level of fear and panic I've only ever experienced in sleep paralysis.

Gimmick! is pretty comfy, and has an amazing soundtrack

>>16863916

Bramble is even worse in the final version, but the other areas are comfy as fuck. The abandoned city on the hourglass twin, the precarious ruins inside brittle hollow, the storms of giant's deep, it's all very atmospheric and comfy. In the new version there's even a small station orbiting very close to the sun and it was amazing when you finally got into it.

I don't think I've played any other game in decades that went along with a blanket, slippers and a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows better than it did. Sure, some parts of it is utterly terrifying, but there's such a tranquility and ambience in the ones that aren't which really puts you in the comfy zone.

You really should find the time to play the final version, the stuff towards the end is mindblowingly good and none of it was present in the alpha.

>>16863926

I've heard it's great but I haven't gotten around to playing it. I know it won several GOTY awards.

I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves, the only people I saw talking about it back in the day were two of the Vinesauce guys and a few anons here.

>>16863444

>You oughta do it.

Hmm. Can't argue with those trips. I actually dusted off my C++ books, started beating the design doc into shape, and learned some modern OpenGL. This might actually happen.

>>16863625

Yeah, that's the fun of these threads. The weird things anons come up with.

I can see why you'd pick VTM:B, though. Running around on an endless Californian summer night, immortal, with that legendary OST.

>>16865089

I use to listen to Vesuvius on loop years before I even played the game. Ironically my first playthrough I missed the club somehow. Personally though the game gives me way too much melancholy for it to be comfy. It's like getting a glimpse into what could have been.

>Yes dev'ing

Good luck. I actually have my personal project on the shelf for now, while I try to get into a position where I can have financial security for a few years. Wage slavery just sucks too much energy from me.

>>16865089

>>16863625

>>16865092

A lot of VTM:B already here but literally this is the first game I think of when it comes to comfyness.

Something so incredibly chill about walking around at night in a rainy Santa Monica, and walking into a store with Deb of the Night on. Ambience 10/10.

You know its fucking comfy when you can chill in your haven with the radio and TV on and still enjoy just being there.

>you can chill in your haven with the radio and TV on and still enjoy just being there.

Reminds me of how CDDA could be at times. You build your tank-base and drive around looking for whatever it is you're looking for, and you might drive into a town crawling with zombies, get into trouble raiding a gun store, and drive back out barely clinging to life.

So you park in the wilderness, turn off the headlights, turn on the dome lights, close the curtain over the windshield, start the stereo pumping, and spend the evening treating your injuries, reading books, crafting things and raiding the minifridge until it's time to go to sleep. And if anything comes after you in the night, safe in the knowledge that the Browning M4 autocannon mounted to the roof will blast it straight to hell.

>>16865567

Man, I've been trying to get into CDDA for the last week or so. I see all the potential for fun and I really want to do a simple survivor start, but I get so fucking shrekd every time I step foot in town.

>>16865576

You go at night, when they can't see you. Also build a spear so you can kite the zombies.

>>16865602

>read that as kike the zombies.

I do that, I take the utmost care to crouch, look out for broken glass and shit, close all curtains. Still after a bit of time they tear down the house like fucking man size termites.

Is there something else I'm missing? They can't have that good sense of smell right?

>>16865576

You can look up vormithrax on youtube. He explains a few things to do on start. Basically, start in the evac shelter, break down benches, lockers, and the tanks on the roof to construct a crowbar, lockpicks, a hammer, and a screwdriver. You also use the roof tanks to store water. The woods will have shallow pools you can use, along with edible foraging.

You can avoid the cities while getting your basic skills that way, and go in better prepared. Beyond that, the other anon is correct.

>>16865623

They can! They will absolutely follow your scent, of which you leave little invisible clouds everywhere you go, and which take time to dissipate.

>>16865625

Yes, they smell you. You can't stay too long in a place. There is a key where you can show your scent map as overlay to get the idea

>>16865635

This is the only one you really need to watch

>>16865620

That's until Mansa peacevassals to Monty and start feeding him techs like crazy while Joao keeps settling nonsense cities in your face at a point where you can't afford to go to war with him.

Fuck, everybody forgets about this game. Easily one of the best on PSP.
