What games are you playing lately? Trying to beat Battletoads 1cc but I can't get past the 4th stage where it's all ice.

Besides the countless of hours I've been logging on War Thunder as of late, I've been indulging in some Silent Hill a bit.

I use my childhood PSP Go to emulate PS1 games. The whole thing is such a good feeling. I game with bluetooth headphones and the device itself at the moment, but I plan on finding a cable to stream the game on a tv and using a ps3 controller to play.
Tried out Digital Devil Saga since I have some nostalgia for SMT from trying to use it to learn Japanese, decades ago.  It's pretty silly so far.  Edgelordy cringe-horror written at a middle school level.
I've been playing Heroes of Might and Magic 2 while listening to podcasts and such at night.
Just finished Danganronpa V3. I don't know what to obsess over now. I got too used to the suspense

Why does Danganronpa have such an autistic fanbase (sorry if it sounds rude I just fail to find a better adjective) ?
Man I hate those youtube celebrity cunts. They fucking ruin everything with their bullshit. I used to be able to talk about games I like, but now everyone just shits all over them because of some AVGN video, so I don't even bother talking about them anymore.

I think that is less an issue of a video blogger and more the fact that people just need to create issues to entertain themselves.
It sucks, it's funny how if you talk about something that is just everywhere people hate you because of it, even if you didn't knew about that.
Happened to me with this game Buckshot Roullete, I played it mostly to see what could be done with Godot and I was surprised to see that it was not a bad game for how long it lasts.
But lo and behold a bunch of guys with cameras played it so you can't talk about it, sucks really.

It's not so much the youtuberfags but the nigger cattle who willingly substitute their opinions with the ones from others, and that without even trying to check if said person has their same tastes.
The point of many critics existing is to find one that thinks the same or very similar as you and stick with him, sadly most people just see and talk without much sense. They want to be opinionated without doing the intellectual effort of at least understanding what they are talking about.

Anon, by your definition, you shouldn't care about a game based on how many people are talking about it, who are talking about it, and on what spotlight they're talking about it.
It's funny but it's basically a contradiction where you let the influence of others affect your views on a game. Much intellectuality, very smartest.

>but now everyone just shits all over them because of some AVGN video
Yeah, I know what you mean. The AVGN would say something negative about a game, and then his fanboys would act like it's the worst thing ever without even playing it. Castlevania II is one example of that. It's not as good of a game as the other two NES Castlevanias, but even James Rolfe has said that he doesn't hate it or anything. I had Fester's Quest as a kid and loved it back then, but the AVGN video made it seem like it was the worst thing in the world. It's definitely flawed, but it's not even close to the worst thing on the system. I think there was also a video that quickly mentioned North and South as being a bad game, which I think is just an asinine opinion. It's one of the best competitive two-player games on the system. It's not a game I ever hear people complaining about though, likely due to how he didn't give it much coverage or anything.


Raid 2020 and Dirty Harry were games I owned as a kid that definitely deserved the videos. Too bad those weren't covered during the AVGN's heyday.

Yeah Simon's Quest really got a nasty one two punch from James Rolph and Arin Hanson. Lead to a bunch of people hating a fun game for no real reason.

A lot of them never got that AVGN was a character and not an objective reviewer of games.

not replaying minecraft but i remembered a story

so back in 2013 i wanted to buy minecraft on ebay since that's where my parent's would always buy the ps2 games i had, and i legit thought that minecraft was a game that came on a disc in a case like any other since all i knew was ps2 and gamecube at my house.
I remember the ebay page i asked to buy it from had this specific picture below. My parents tried to buy it from this guy but in the end it didn't come to anything, and we didn't end up buying it from this absolutely legit German seller. So my parents could have gotten scammed because of me wanting to play block game when i was 12

now i wanna print this pic and make my own fake physical copy of minecraft

do it anon, sounds comfy.

Do it. Archeologists will find it, and will throw a wrench in their understanding of Minecraft. "What version is this? We have no record of it". Countless hours will be wasted digging around for any scrap of information for this "lost media.
>>2056
You are right in a certain way but after all sometimes you need someone to cast light into something one might not know it existed, and also sometimes hear if it is any decent considering the context on how his opinion and tastes work

you're definitely a gooner

What Warhammer game?
Played some of "Ultimate Trial" which is an Ocarina of Time romhack oriented around combat.

The attract mode has the camera flying a loop through the Lost Woods.  You play as Link, as an adult, who IIRC has gotten himself lost at some point in his adventures.

Anybody who goes into the Lost Woods will be lost and become a Stalfos.

Everybody, Stalfos.

So you find yourself in this sort of purgatory.  A sprawling fortress-town, populated mostly by original characters with repurposed OoT/MM models.  You'll find the back alley bombchu guy selling bows and bombs a few feet from where the magic bean salesman offers heart containers whose prices increase much in the same way as his beans did.  Not having played much of Majora's Mask, I don't know if the models I don't recognize are original or not.

The gameplay loop consists (so far) of combat arenas you find in various parts of the fortress.  Each is a set of gated battles excepting the Crypt area, which is more like a conventional dungeon that you try to clear without running out of hearts.  No hearts drop from enemies, only money.  And unlike in the original, you definitely give a shit about money because arrows and bombs all cost; they don't replenish from enemies, shrubs, etc.  I see people calling it "roguelite" because of this, but I think the concept stands well enough without reduction to the dark souls of ocarina of time lmao.

It has a rather melancholic original score.  It lends the setting a dreamlike feeling, which might have been intentional, maybe to diffuse the sense of being trapped in a presumptous amateur's attempt at "continuing the story."  It's not a continuation, and probably isn't even a side-story, as I interpret it.  Just a what-if whose plausibility or legitimacy you can entertain or not.

We're here for the combat, after all, and given that this is an N64 game with crusty camera issues, maybe this concept was unwise?  It's frustrating in ways that aren't always the modders' fault.  It's meant to be difficult, and pushes your combat skills in ways that the orignal games wouldn't have dreamed.

I'm interested enough in the story that I mean to continue at some point.  I recommend keeping a map or some notes as you explore the fortress, because it's big enough and has enough stuff going on (more NPCs appear as you progress) that it can be overwhelming.

To be clear, I'm not saying the modders are presumptuous, just that people are apt to interpret fan-works in that way.
I've been playing through Unreal Tournament's single-player mode with the intent of finishing it.

I played Minecraft Alpha 1.1.2_01 again. I built a house on a mountain (and burnt it down trying to make a fireplace), conquered dungeons, found huge caves that spawned endless waves of mobs, and built bridges connecting to other mountains.

But as much as I love being in these old janky worlds, I don't know what to do anymore. There's nothing I really want to build, and nothing I want to find. At one point I would've found no shortage of things to make and do, no shortages of ideas and anticipated adventures. But now I open the game feeling content not doing anything more. I played the Java editions, I played the Pocket Editions (the free and paid version), I played the console editions, and I played the Bedrock editions. I think I've arrived at the point where my adventure with this game is over. I think I've finally beaten Minecraft.

"And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love. You are the player. Wake up."

Truly the most melancholy game. Along with Terraria. For similar reasons.

What happened to the VA-11 Hall-A sequel?

it's kinda sad seeing how much of a bloated mess minecraft has become. i don't play anything above 1.8, and only played 1.12 with friends and it was a really annoying experience with all the combat changes they made. i usually only play it for a couple weeks a few times a year now, then i shelve it.

I played Minecraft back in the early 2010s with a few other people and had a good time, but I couldn't get into it as a single-player game. I guess I'm more into games with more clearly-defined goals.

Counter Strike Condition Zero. It's my favorite Counter Strike. There's something about this game that brings me back to the early 2000's. I've been experimenting and modifying the bots, adjusting their classes, difficulty, and adding some of my own. Like Spike, who'll only use a TMP or Mac but can snipe you across the map with it.

I'll also occasionally play Counter Strike Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, the campaign for Counter Strike. Terrible as it is, I for some reason keep finding myself playing it again.
