I got out my vita after not having used it in a long time. I'd forgotten just how great of a little console it is. I'm currently playing through Utawarerumomo: Prelude to the Fallen (Please no spoilers :< ). It's nice. So far I've been playing through on hard, but it's really not that difficult. Must be adjusted difficulty for the people who just want the story I suppose.

Been playing a lot of Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Forever lately with some /qa/ friends and it's a pretty fun game, but a lot of us have no idea of how to approach the endgame because for the most part in the small skirmishes we play together there's never really a time where the games last long enough to get to where everyone is making the super cool endgame units. So I was wondering if there'd ever be a time that /qa/ would be up for a few big game sessions of supcom where we all try and play on a huge map that allows for these endgame situations, and if so is there any time that'd be good?
Also for anyone interested there's some videos out on the internet that can give you a pretty basic understanding of how to get decent enough at the game to play and not immediately die.

>>96086Yeah. I've been moving so I haven't had the chance to play recently, but I'll try some more soon. Anyways, I think what you're describing is something that's already been solved. In games that allow manual saving, often times they'll also have autosaves but the autosaves won't overwrite manual saves. If you get softlocked because of a bad autosave you can just reload a manual save. I think even poor or infrequent autosaves would be far preferable to losing an hour of progress because of game crashes.

>>96267Really liking the MiA game so far. But, I'm not sure how many other people would. It's quite slow paced and besides exploration you also need to maintain various things. You have hunger that steadily increases and transitioning areas takes a chunk of it. Tools like rope are consumable and weapons or fishing poles will break over time. There's ranged weapons, but the ingredients for arrows and bullets seem kind of extreme. You are also constrained by carry weight, as everything has weight. To gain increased rank and gold you need to bring back relics and they have weight, too, so you need to keep that in mind. There's also the curse, so you can't climb too fast, so you need to pause to recover for a few seconds. The stamina bar for running or climbing is also very low and fall damage is closer to real life than you might be used to.
It does a pretty good job of making the Abyss seem very inhospitable, though I think quite a few people will be turned off by the 'maintenance' of survival. I'm still in the first layer, but stuff is already quite punishing.
No.96566
>>96565That sounds kind of tedious, like how many trips up and down do you have to make to grind rank to get to the next layer? And you have to climb the whole distance in real time? Reminds me of climbing walls in early game BotW.
No.96567
>>96566It can be tedious, I guess, but I don't mind it that much. But, the real tedium seems to be coming from quests that require you to keep returning to the same area.

>>96570>Would you say being unfamiliar with manga/anime would detract from the experienceIt does, yes. The 'tutorial' is basically a fast track of the first season with most things excluded. After the tutorial you start a new story with a custom character.
I really can't recommend you to play it without at least watching the first season and then the movie that wasn't just a recap. From what I've heard the rest of the game is a new story, but including established characters and areas. Don't play this if you're not going to read/watch the source material.
Also, I wanted to say... good god a part of the second layer was so freaking TEDIOUS and I had to do it three times. I don't know what the hell they were thinking. It was just painful. Knowing that there was more stuff to explore kept me going through it, but that was not fun. The combat in the game is also a bit of a mess and very stiff, but again I'm not playing it for the combat but for exploring.

Practice extreme skepticism, but this sounds interesting:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-remix-announcement/Basically nvidia is further treading into modder territory, which is giving me very mixed feelings. It had already started to copy ReShade with its crappy in-game interface (which I tried a couple times but turn off every time since it's vastly inferior) and it's now trying to enter the territory of injectors like 3Dmigito or ENB.
Initially you might think "cool, more options!", but this is taking something out of the community and into nvidia.
That is, of course, if it even works on enough things. It's not going to be magical like it's advertised here, it will still take a lot of effort from modders and if you do it then you're contributing to nvidia's near-monopoly and who's to say how it will choose to exercise that power if it gets it.

>>96850i can just imagine all the graphical glitches of an AI that has no idea what it's looking at
No.96879
>>96877Yeah, people have been making "AI upscaled" stuff for games the past couple years and they're not particularly great and are even ridiculed in certain less polite places. They're better than the default, sometimes, but a texture is simply part of one object in a small area that's part of a larger area that's part of a world with its own history and themes. For the time being (and years to come) an AI is not going to properly interpret a person's artistic vision for something, especially when the source is so blurry.
Procedural generated stuff has also quickly run out of fashion and is blamed for a lot of uninspired visuals in recent games. You need a person to give detail if you want something to look like it belongs in a world instead of something that came out of an assembly line. I haven't seen and don't expect it to be very popular for modding since it's not workers meeting a deadline for their job (or mass producing generic assets for sale) but people doing things as a hobby in their free time.

Ragnarok Online is still going, although the company is trying its best to kill it and has threatened to sue many servers
Maplestory had a bit of a resurgence on retail of all places
Silk Road Online is completely dead outside of private servers, and I'm surprised people still play it at all when BDO feels like the modern version of that game, down to botting being allowed although the most popular service is low-rate and disallows botting
FFXI is still played and has actually gotten a fair amount of attention from the devs to give it modern quality of life

The combat is a lot more fun than the first one because they distinguished the characters a lot more and you'll end up using a variety of them for different things. There's quite a few special mechanics that I've never seen in strategy games that were really nice. Throughout the game I would think "I wish Disgaea and other games played like this".

>>98811>are you the guy that was reading the first one?Mhm. I liked it a lot, but the ending felt like it came out of nowhere and was fairly unsatisfying at that. If it weren't for the fact there are sequels, I think that would taint my impression much more so.
>Wasn't that intro scene nice? The video, or do you mean the intro part where Haku gets chased around by a giant bug? I thought the video was surprisingly well done. The intro... I'm not sure how to feel about yet since I haven't seen anything past the part where Haku is reunited with Kuon and getting dressed. My first impressions though are that I'm not very fond of the protagonist. Again, just from first impressions they seem much more out-going and rash, which is quite different from Hakuowlo. I guess I'll have to see if I warm up to him.
>The combat is a lot more fun than the first one because they distinguished the characters a lot more>They also increased the difficulty in hard modeOh, that's nice to hear. I actually decided to go with normal because the combat of the previous game was kind of draining with having to do training to make sure all of my characters were leveled up and had good stats.

It's a JRPG prequel to Utwarerumono, specifically 2 and 3 I think since it's happening in Yamato. I still do not understand why it did not include the name. Is it to encourage non-VN readers from playing it or to otherwise attract new people? I doubt it's going to rely on knowledge of 2 and 3, but it will offer you a better experience if you have it. Anyway...
Somehow Nekone's voice is even cuter. Yeah, she's younger, but it's the same voice actress so it's really impressive that she managed to do that. The 3D looks pretty good, but not amazing. Too early to comment on the battles, but the exploration is pretty okay. There are gathering points and an item category of "Materials" so that sounds nice, I'm a total sucker for gathering and crafting. It instantly makes a game better to me.

I'm strongly considering getting Project Diva on Steam since it's on sale for the autumn sale. (Also there's an Steam autumn sale going on)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1761390/Hatsune_Miku_Project_DIVA_Mega_Mix/Over 170 songs and there's a modding community of people that have added songs from other Miku games into it as well as new songs entirely such as from newer artists like PinnochioP, but don't get too excited since I assume it's just the overlay on top of the pre-existing music video if not a static image. Still, very cool! Also people mod the outfits and models and stuff as you'd expect.
Sadly, from what I've heard there's no options to hang out with the vocaloids in their rooms. That was such a hugely charming part of the games and it's a huge disappointment that it's not there.
Gamebanana sure has a... unique layout

Been playing Slay the Spire here and there, and now that I've finally beaten a run with the Defect I think I'm getting the hang of it. It was a peculiar run.
Basically, the character I was playing revolves around "orbs", little summons with different effects that you can trigger and manipulate in a number of ways. But because I drew Hyperbeam early on, a very strong AoE with the drawback of considerably weakening your orbs, I decided to go full aggro, ignoring most of the orb cards entirely, and tried to blitz through every fight. Halfway through I finally started removing cards from my deck and skipping over unnecessary pickups, and ended up with a very consistent inventory.
By default, you start each turn with 3 energy. If you pick up some special relics, you can raise this to 5 or 6. I was routinely reaching ~18 energy per turn, while cycling through my entire deck like it was nobody's business. Of my 28 cards, 9 were about obtaining cards in some way, 7 manipulated energy, and only 3 were my heavy hitters. (Thank God I kept Meteor Strike.)
I had no buffs other than Buffer for defense, which is pretty weird for a Defect run. Even removed Creative AI, which is a really powerful card, but having it would've decreased consistency. Relics weren't anything amazing, though the extra energy from Philosopher's Stone, healing from Bloody Idol, and the ocassional draw from Pocketwatch were great.
Fun stuff.

IGN Armored Core 6 interview with Miyazaki and Yamamura
https://www.ign.com/articles/armored-core-6-interviewThis was a much needed interview, even though a lot of the questions are just plain stupid atleast we have the big confirmation: AC6 its not a soulslike. This is a huge relief to me as the last thing I wanted was a mecha souls larping as an Armored Core game. AC6 is a product of Miyazaki and Yamamura, and it seems Yamamura is leading the way now. This is interesting news because the last game Yamamura worked on was one of their best. (Sekiro) Also the last Armored Core game Miyazaki was involved in was For Answer, and while being a masterpiece in some ways, it also had awful technical issues. Miyazaki says that he feels "jealous" of the guys working on AC now, because when he was working on AC4/FA there were so many restrictions and the teams were less experienced with new hardware. Now this has all changed and we're going to see the first Armored Core release with a more experienced, more resourced From Software. Very happy to hear this. It sounds like they want to stay as true to the formula of Armored Core as possible while also introducing some new mechanics. Can't wait to see gameplay footage whenever they're ready.
No.100944
>>100939It's kinda depressing how most of the interviewer's questions are about how stuff from previous souls games they worked on will be incorporated into 6 as if it's also a souls game. Though I guess it's true that it's all they've basically worked on since their success with the original DaS, so maybe most people think AC6 will be like those games, especially younger people who never played the PS1-2 era games.
I'm glad it sounds like in that interview they're resolute in keeping it's distinct gameplay, I'm really excited.

Found an old DS flash cart of mine I must have ordered many years ago, but for whatever reason never used. According to its label, it should have been an R4i cart, but it was actually a DSTT and they were using some faux R4 skin for it. Very strange.
Anyways, it's suuuper slow. I guess I'll stick with my DStwo Plus. It's a pretty neat flash cart with its own SOC. Unfortunately, it experiences slowdowns for GBA games, which is a shame since the 3DS and DS can do full-speed GBA emulation.

I have been playing Fallout 2, I always found it weird OG fallout never really got that much love among hardcore PC gamers like HoMM, Planescape Torment etc, it has its hardcore fans but the majority of gamers see Fallout as an FPS.
Anyway, it's a weird mix of a 90s PC game and TTRPG, where you ragequit it because of RNG but boot it up 5 minutes later and keep playing for hours. I'm in the mid-game, but it feels like there's many themes of haves and have-nots but also not making a point or even being allegorical about it (although I think the enclave are obviously a reference to white supremacists), it seems to just present it being as it is. Fallout 2 was also a pioneer in popularizing post nuclear-war media that doesn't push nuclear pessimism.
I am playing a melee/unarmed character because I think it's more fitting for the Chosen One being a tribal, than just being proficient in small arms from the get-go, but I semi-roleplay in games like this. The main issue with melee is your companions shooting you.
It's also much more lewd than I remember it, some of it feels like a western h-game without the h-scenes, down to the settlements catering to different fetishes (New Reno is sluts, Vault City is femdom, Broken Hills is monster etc)

Also one last thing because I just finished it and dont want to come off like I hated it. I like how playing it like you would a modern RPG as an almost messianic figure instead ends up being a mixed blessing or even having terrible unforeseen consequences. (Like how Optimizing the power plant in Gecko causes Vault City to invade it rather than the town to flourish)
Also, with how extremist fictional factions are popular, Vault City almost gets no love when it does the exact thing people like the Legion for but better. Probably because Lynette is so unlikeable.
It was a good game, but draining physically and emotionally. It's one of those "every couple of years" type games.

>>102636Well, "portable", yeah. I've actually been seeding Persona 3 FES for the past few months because the Steam announcement got people interested in the better version.
I can't remember all the differences, but...
To clarify, FES is sort of a weird expansion-pack combo release version of the game that had a dungeon epilogue thing. It also changed the main game of 3, but I can't remember the specifics. You don't need to beat the game to FES dungeon, so you could play either one and then move onto it. I didn't like it much, too much grind and BS enemy gimmicks. There's some story there, but ehhh... people have conflicting thoughts on it.
-3 has 3D characters moving around at its locatiosn whereas Portable is purely menus. This matters more than you'd think it would. It's nice to have characters using body language and moving around in 3D space as you read their dialogue alongside the portraits.
-Portable has the female MC route, but I was never interested in that one (I don't want to date guys...)
-Original 3 doesn't let you control your party members, but I don't know which of FES/Portable has that (maybe both changed the main story?). It's easy to hate your party making dumb decisions, but some people including myself think it adds to the charm. I remember it also having story integration in some ways such as (very minor spoiler)
a character growing closer to you will start healing you more, and also that the game was balanced around that randomness so controlling your team makes it too easy.
I'd emulate 3 or FES, personally.
