something like the collector is amazing
imo grimm troupe is just a boring fetch quest
its deep and depressing
Fork Doesn't Like Light, causes mass Genocide on his own kin to hide it
yeaaa
finds the hk, not the actual vessel but the hk wants to be and thus acts
forms a parent child bond
has to be sealed away
brb
doesnt work since they arent the true vessel
ahh ok
i still find it hilarious that the king was like "hey herrah wanna be a dreamer ill make you a mother 😉 "
and then hornet was made
The plan was ||always to seal the Hollow Knight. The issue is that it was supposed to be empty of emotion or thought and in raising it from "childhood" the Pale King formed a bond and that's what let the Radiance escape.||
Nah, Harrah baby-trapped the Pale King.
yea but the hollow knight also wasnt fully hollow lmao
"You want a dreamer, I want a child."
still a very funny upbringing for hornet tho
given that PK is a god, i do wonder if he had foreseen that the hollow knight failing was a necessity for a truly empty vessel, aka our knight?
hmmm
probably not
considering the knight was there when the king chose the hk
also then why would pk have essentially killed who he saw as his kid
He kills a lot of potential Vessels.
That's a point the game makes, just how much death and destruction the Pale King spreads throughout Hallownest to try to preserve Hallownest.
I opt for the naturalist explanation. Some bug made a nest, some parasitic moth laid eggs in all the bugs brains, and eventually you kill the moth. The rest is all just Pale King hyping up his own nest.
I'm just saying if you get a magic sword that can literally cut into the world of dreams and expose the mist hidden memories of the past ...and you use that very blade on the god king himself and learn nothing
Must mean there's nothing to learn!
You can't dream nail yourself
Oh.
you're foxhope not plumfox
Yeah, we haven't been minding spoilers too much.
Lul
you guys are similar i thought you finished the game sorry
Probably should start doing that now.
yeah
Sorry!
i mean fox said they know how to obtain the other endings but still, sorry
lmao one of my friends said that they got kingsoul but not voidheart and they were trying to do pantheon
since he didnt know that voidheart existed
so i yelled at him to get it
But I didn't think of the ||Voidheart scene|| in that context, @orchid tree
that's actually what happens
Yeah, absolutely!
from what i've gathered from that scene, ||that was your own hatching egg you dreamnailed. So full of void, so shiny, that it made you dreamnail yourself from the reflection||
I always thought ||I was aiming at the Knight's egg.||
i thought it was just some random egg :/
But ||you're aiming at your own reflection.|| Damn.
||so much void, the perfect vessel, bring it forth, the shade lord!||
||though the shade lord is a really difficult subject when it comes to lore, i do like the idea that the shade lord is actually just the culmination of all void, all shades||
||it would make sense given the voidheart description, "unites the void"||
||into one entity||
||the shade lord||
i saw it more so as ||the knight, being the embodiemnt of the void, ascended to godhood||
||The Godhome statues also lend credence to that idea. The "Void given form" and "Void given focus" statues.||
||in old patches, the all-radiants statue used to say "void given thought". I think you can tell why they removed it lol||
yeaaaa
but the ||shade lord is very interesting lore wise||
and i wonder how they are gonna play off of it with silksong if even since it might be a prequel ;w;
also technically speaking, ||the void has existed far before hallownest, so lord of shades is the ultimate god of hallownest. Both theories could be true, together, tbh||
hopefully silksong is a prequel and we get a 3rd game :3
Friggin' Zote.
ZOTEBOAT
ive had enough of zote
if it wasnt for the speedrun route killing vengefly king for geo id leave him every run
I still haven't been able to get that.
eternal something forgot
The Eternal Ordeal. 
yeaa
yeah
zoot is peak comedy
He's the worst but the Eternal Ordeal and Grey Prince Zote push it to the point of absurdity and I love it.
i got the grey night statue to be gold once
and i hated it
i did it just to say i did
i only did gpz once
but i feel like my friends are giving him too much credit
||they would rather restart their entire save just so that they can avoid having to do him on p5 and on Hall of Gods (radiant)||
i honestly don't think it's that bad..
Does he level up in the Pantheon if you level him up in Dirtmouth?
no
he's permanently in level 10 (all adjectives, all attack patterns) but with double damage
Now I hate to hijack the conversation like this but I've got something that needs sorting out.
So I just recently took my first step into the next generation of gaming, that's right, finally got that PlayStation 3.
lmao
Naturally one of the first titles I had to pick up was HD remaster if the PlayStation 2 classics God of War I and II
So my question is... does anybody else find God of War mysteriously fun even though everything about kind of sucks?
i havent played god of war so i cant really say :/
i never had a console
ok i had a ps3 but i played it for a shortwhile it was my brother's and then we stopped
It's weird, I can't say it's a guilty pleasure since it's such a popular game, I just don't know why I have fun with it.
so yeah idk never played it, i actually know nothing about the game
Well, you know that PC game Getting Over it with Bennett Foddy?
God of War is kinda like playing a few hundred easier versions of that in a row.
It's ostensibly an action game but it's mostly platforming and block pushing segments where infinitely respawning enemies knock you back to the beginning over and over.
Summer 1996, Today is the day!You hit the road. Adventure. Freedom. Escape. Run. Flee the Regime. Try to survive.On this risky road trip to the border, you’ll meet incredible characters, and discover their intertwined stories and secrets in an ever-evolving adventure.But every mile opens up a choice to make.

2021
This one looks promising
Yeah you could do that in '96. Gas was like 88 cents a gallon, no one had GPS, it was awesome.
where i live, right now, gas is like (~1 dollar) for every liter.. isn't that cheaper than 88c/gallon or am i just.. dumb.. it is late at night so i become really bad at maths usually
i become bad at everything-
A gallon is around 4 liters
So we would have been paying like 20 cents a liter.
yeah
This one deals with a civil war tho
so around a 4th of what we pay rn
how much is it rn in usa?
just, out of curiosity ig
Probably 50 cents a liter
It looks like it could be cool, almost reminds me of Firewatch
wasn't firewatch a critical and financial failure
Financial maybe critical no
"an interactive fetch quest" 
That kind of narrative heavy presentation never works for everyone, I'm sure the people who hate Firewatch really hate it.
Tbh I'm a sucker for those childishly whimsical To The Moon games, those get me every time.
Things that try to get too gritty tend to cross over a line for me that makes me find them unconvincing.
"Deals poorly with the pressure of existing and quickly explodes." Me too, Volatile Zoteling. Me too.
man, demo magna with switch axe is rough https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/654076105321480226/821850440781529118/EwtayBuU8AQkTUV.jpg
teach me your ways
i only recently learned about the reload wirebug art having generous iframes at the start, that helped a lot lol
oh i barely use that lmao
same i like, hardly touched my wirebug moves for a while
'if i am going to move out the way it will be while ATTACKING'
-me, right before getting stabbed with a spear tail, 2021
oh yeah that reminds me- sorry for talking about another game
@dire condor dark descent gibs invic frames and a lot of people love to use it. General tip, you probably won't use it for sly, but yeah, feeling in a tight spot? hard attack that covers a lot of screen?? just use DD!! and hope there's no spikes below
HOW
ive used 11 attempts with insect glaive and got it to the tired blue icon thingy twice ;w;
wait
21 attempts
I have no idea what you are talking about
also glaive wirebugs poopy >:(
i get another jump which is nice but the other one is borderline useless
i had a lot of failures before this run lol
what was your route??
and yeah switch axe's are... okay, but not great really
Sorry, what are we talking about?
mostly just use ZL+A for iframes
hollow knight
like i said sly in the end
or was it not you who was just on sly?
since i grab stinkmink, puppet spider, and then go to rathian
No, it was.
But I didn't connect that you were picking up from the earlier conversation.
i pretty much went down the middle up some short cliffs to get the snow beetle, then up the tall vine along the cliff next to rathian for some spiribirds and stinkmink
i also grab any beetles, generally water and fire
brought rathian to magna and got lucky with mizu showing up later
i have to use 2-3 mounts to get any damage ;w;
i basically scream and run straight for mango and mount the nearest other mon
Hand on a dictionary, my thoughts went "Dark Descent, like Amnesia? And why are they bring up Sly Cooper? Wait, 'just use DD'? Are we on Hades now?"
also wheres the wailnard??
It was a moment.
since i havent found it yet and i was told it would help confirming mizu coming over :3
oh the wailnard is at the top of those tall vines south of the rathian
god, don't remind me
i'm in a server with friends
DD means SO MUCH STUFF
Oh ok so along my route :3
though it sometimes calls the monster you already mounted and it's a disaster lmao
ahh
Dark Descent, Dicey Dungeon, Darkest Dungeons, Divine Dash, Death Defiance
well its better than nothing ;w;
me, playing pokemon, talking about monhun, hades, and hk:
so many DDs
every brain cell dedicated to gaming
no thought only gæm
head empty
but like i understand magna's moveset and i rarely ever die now unless some bs happens
but IG just doesnt haev the dps i need
whoa dude that's like, 2 whole braincells for gaming, way too much
exactly, it just gets to the point of i hope i can do enough damage to beat timer
i get about 100 damage per heavy cycle but thats only ever so often
plus i'm only shiny hunting so
0 attention
if i had 5 more minutes i could win ;w;
and i do the funny mounting trick where you put big barrels so you dont take the damage :3
mango's timer is sheer pain tbh
i have thousands of hours across other monhuns and this demo magna was still one of the hardest things i've done lmao
they overtuned it hardcore
like damn if it was just 20 minutes ;w;
but i guess if you want your flagship to seem threatening this works
and the devs even made sure it was possible with every weapon ;w;
yeah 20 mins would be so swanky
but i just cant with IG
mk back to the shiny hunt, brb
like and with the stuff on magnas back that explodes IG is one of the only weapons that can hit that normally and its still super inconsistent since magna hitboxes or any demo monster for that matter are wack when im in the air
oh yeah like, magna's tail in particular is just the worst
active hitbox whenever it does anything at all
yeaa ;w;
even when the tail isn't actually involved
which makes IG a pain to jump around with as an offensive option
yeah
and like ik the little hellfire bubbles it drops can be used against it but it never gets near them >:(
like i just want to beat it once
and ive been close twice
there have been times where it evades either the bubble or a trap for like, 30 solid seconds
pain
yeaaa
tahst why i drop traps when its doing its slam thing
since you just walk in, dont get hit, and you have time to place it
unless its pitfall >:(
like yea i get that its flagship so they wanna make it hard
but still
15 minutes is dumb
just 5 more and id be able to do it
yeah like, tbh the 15m velkhana for the iceborne demo was nowhere near as harsh as this
and most other weapons have a better dps than IG
which makes it harder for me >:(
since my weapon isnt nearly as chunky as switch/charge axe or hh
yeah, i imagine with IG you basically aren't allowed to stop attacking or else you won't get enough damage for the timer lol
yeaa i watched someone do it in 11 minutes and they got 3 mounts and had to constantly stay on magna
its just annoying
and the fact that you die if you get breathed on is a pain
like everytime i get hit im at <1/2
right? it honestly feels like a naked run in the demo
and then fainting makes you lose too much time getting back
and im getting better at the fight since im able to stay on it more but i just dont have the damage i need >:(
ahh me and tail are talking about the mon hunt rise demo
the good news is: we'll be hugely overprepared for the base game magna lmao
true
i just want to be able to say i beat it once tho >:(
also it really bothers me when the palico/mute knock magna over when im healing and on the other side of the area
that's what kept me going too, really didn't want to leave the demo with that incomplete
i just dont know what else i could do ;w;
im using both traps, thunder and water beetle, trying my best to mount both rathian and mizu, puppet spider to ram magna into some walls
like i just dont know and its very annoying
no yeah i had several runs where it felt like everything went right and i still timed out
you'll get it
hhhh i hope so
and like yea this being my first mainline game gives me little experience
but i think im still preforming relatively well
oh wow you're doing extremely well given that, then
i guarantee you most players new to the main games will not get very far solo against demo magna lol
:3 well thats reassuring at least
hey guys wanna talk about flash games
ig all i can do then is just keep ramming my head into the wall until either my skull cracks open or magna decides to die for once
;w;
up movie theme starts playing
do you have anything to recommend
been bored lately i played all old flash games that i can think of
rn i still have rogue soul to play
OG isaac is a flash game
tbh i never really played many flash games :/
So there is that
It's a very ugly game.
or horror/spoopy things
I don't blame you for being unable to get past that.
it's a very big nono for me i'm a very sensible one
I couldn't get into Attack on Titan because I dislike the art so much.
yeah my friends keep telling me to watch AoT but i just uhg i can't
it makes me uncomfortable
the art of aot i feel like is well animated, but just the style is eww
like it looks cool sometimes
#tv-and-movies beckons...
yeah my brother used to play it
oh there's no voice channels here
i could stream myself playing rogue soul xd
lmao that would be very exciting
YAY!
i wouldn't use the voice channel for voice tho
Can always stream to Twitch and post in #self-promotion
just for screen sharing lol
i stream at 480p15
and it usually dies
do you really think i can handle obs and twitch-
but yeah i guess nobody wants to watch? maybe in dms maybe in another server lol
ah yes notdoppler
Sometimes I wish we have stream channel here
yea but itd be too hard for the mods to manage :3
i guess
I know
what if i wanna stream hades
wish
i suppose for now i can settle with dms and inviting my friends to other server slol
Honestly it would be fun to watch people attempt things blind or high heat climb
i honestly wish people could watch me beat hades it is the cringiest thing ever
mans takes fo1 at low heat 😔
well you're wrong
what ubi games should i get while everything i like 50% off
shadow of mordor
describé
Shadow of mordor is ubi game? 
i said describé
Child of Light
describé
watercolor real time rpg
i'ma say no and go back to playin hades 
aight
Child of light is good
My only problem with it, like many jrpgs, is the lack of voice over.
i'm slowly getting tired of voiceovers
i was playing the fenyx rising demo and i was appalled that i couldn't shut zeus and prometheus up
nothing like a good beeps and boops
just let me read ahead and then i can skip it
hades is a great example on how to do subtitles and textboxes right.

the game isnt going to appeal to you then. their banter was a lot of what i personally liked about the game. the voice over is 100% going to make or break the game for people
mmm
i just prefer games that don't take a break to be a movie. that's kinda a general overexaggerated statement but it gets across.
I see VA is depended, it can be included, but they def have to do the voice over right which is not always the case, there maybe times making some parts where it must be serious funny or some places that must be funny serious somehow. And since that I mostly prefer games without voice acting, since in such case there is no fear of VA changing tone shift. 
i have goober goblin gamer brain but i still want to experience the story if that makes sense
?? you can fully play the game while they are talking?
most of the time i was stopping what i was doing because i was taking screenshots of funny convo to share
yeah my logic doesn't make sense
i was mostly referring to the beginning sequence cause that was all i played
i didn't find it very interesting it was just banter. nothing actually important.
are we talking hades?
BotW but in Greece
this makes sense to me
i was scared by how much it was like botw
i felt right at home
some wonky controls but that's about it
like why is r-bumper attack????
has no bad gacha dung so it's automatically better than Genshin 
voiceovers aren't really necessary for me but they do sure help with the immersion when done right
I really liked FE three houses' voiceovers
it felt so natural
if the voiceover is done really well, I won't mind
Speaking of voice acting, I also don't mind performances like this.
Quite... memorable.
Aw, man, X4.
I played the heck out of X4 back in the day
I've dabbled more than a little. What a game.
I will forever miss that magma dragoon
I love that boss fight.
Zero playthrough is hard
Especially with how weird his boss order is
But X4 is and will always remain my favorite game in the whole franchise
unrelated but Berseria has some of my fave voice acting

Book skirt
Last Tales game I bought was Zestiria. Last I played was Xillia 2.
I don't know, the character designs started to lose me.
The story in Xillia 2 certainly did.
I should give Eternal another try.
2016 is my favorite shooter ever, and I have a hard time believing that it will ever be topped.
Disco Elysium Final Cut comes march 30th
Every couple of months I listen to old touhou music and get sad cause the music SLAPS but the gameplay of touhou is my mortal enemy
ugh me w/ furi. i love bullet hells but... it's in the title. they're hell
What do you guys think about dead cells? I have it in my backlog but can't seem to start because I always boot up Hades lmao.
previous opinions in the chat include finding the dlc to not be a necessary buy
Dead Cells is nice, but damn can it be frustrating wit how difficulty is scaled.
I like the combat of dead cells but Im really on the fence on buying it on the switch because of the speedrunning aspect of it on later difficulties
At least Undertale is a thing, right
also same have never 1CCed a touhou game except for touhou 8
That's exactly what's been putting me off 😔 I came here to have a good time and I'm feeling so attacked right now
The heck is s a 1cc
oooo
iirc there are 3 endings based on how many continues you used
Yeah you do have to beat the whole game without continuing I remember now
Meanwhile the one time I tried emulating 4 I ran out by like the second level
i'm never not thinking about kenny omega's undertale collabs
can't believe i know about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30SYBrsqaCY

I can't believe I forgot
the fact, that "sans undertale" was screamed by an announcer.
watching a certain trio of wrestlers walk out to the tune of an announcer having difficulty reading final fantasy names lives in my mind rent free
anyone looking to get a joycon charging grip? amazon warehouse has one for a reasonable price
can you guys suggest rpg games?
Turn based or Real Time?
real time and for low end computers
Ryza 2, maybe
all the infinity engine games have a very small file size, but a lot of content
Crosscode
Haven
Eternal Radiance
Shining Resonance I think is Low-endish
FF Type-0
Reminder that Square Enix's "direct" will start in 40 minutes or less
please deus ex please deus ex
Crosscode is a great one, was my favorite game last year and it just came out with a dlc last month that was an awesome end to the game
Tune-in to Square Enix Presents on March 18 at 10:00 a.m. PDT / 1:00 p.m. EDT to see the world premiere of a new installment in the Life is Strange series, updates on Outriders, Marvel’s Avengers, Balan Wonderworld, and more.
started
Outriders 
New Life is Strange?
nothing yet
just uh
uninteresting stuff
I will say when something good comes up
Life Is Strange now
emotion powers pew pew
oh copyright music
and remastered for LiS and LiS Before Storm
which I find odd
is there real need for the remastered for them?
well that was
nothing pretty much lol
Wait, someone is looking for JRPG suggestions?
Ys VIII
rpgs in general but your time to shine
Or any Ys game really, but VIII is the best
Otherwise, in terms of real-time, Shining Resonance was fine, Crosscode is great
Yakuza 0 might not be low end enough but its also great
speaking of which
all the yakuza games are available in the Xbox Game Pass
Ni No Kuni II might be too demanding actually
they just released 6 yesterday with other good games
And I think thats about it that isnt demanding
There is still stuff like FFXV but my PC can barely run it
Is this the actual poster?
It looks so... underwhelming.
Sadly
Like c'mon guys, even Cyberpunk did the typical "Character" boxart better
i wasn't around for the snes era but damn the box art on those were so cool
Well I love og LiS
Never played before the storm, heard it sucks
So probably won't check out this new one also
i remember liking life is strange a lot when i was younger, but after trying to play the first ep last year i couldn't believe how edgy the dialogue was
it came out right at the end of the dystopian YA era, the game felt like a tribute to it looking back now
also, the facial design is just a bit unsettling for me tbh
I've played way too many Arkane studio +cdpr games to appreciate facial design and animations
Dishonored's way of showing an assassination is complete is so neat
Wdym phrases like amazeballs and awesome sauce don't age like fine wine?
Aren't all teenagers talking like that?
;w;
please
but yea very disappointing for square and not that great of a lineup. i feel like the only things thatll really sell is gonna be the destiny but again game(and even then not much), life is strange since there is a sizable fanbase, and potentially that working name title
I remember playing life is strange during my teenage years and being unimpressed by the dialogue lmao. I was in a group of gamers in high school and I would actively warn them of the dialogue in case they ever wanted to play it
it was quite popular in high school. if it were released now, I'd feel like the teens would be even less impressed by it
but ruminating on life is strange now has me missing playing walking simulators and dating sims and text-heavy games. ah
the dialogue is genuinely far from what teenagers talk even the ones that do bathe in constant usage of the Internet slang, they still at least use them rarely in situations they believe is reasonable for such lil funny.
also can get that. I am missing my meta walking simulators intake and I have played Stanley Parable, Beginner's Guide, Superliminal and The Hex even. 😔
😔
yeah typing that out had me remembering that I've played that mobile game that features professor layton's son
quite text focused
honestly I was surprised that life is strange didn't get roasted further than it did for its dialogue and characterization. tumblr insisted that chloe was The Absolute One for max but her edginess was just.... well!
I honestly never understood why people fell in love with Chloe, like ||She always makes a problem for the story in some ways and anyways ends up being a decision if town lives or not???||
I don't know much about others games besides the first and prequel before storm, but I did wonder how these turned out but never tried to invest myself to find out
there's a pretty popular set of vids on youtube discussing a) chloe's characterization and b) before the storm
Bingo.

oh yeah seen them!
I maybe look into reviews on regarding the other LiS since honestly I am surprised the series became so big with so little to stand out about itself.
Also hello???
checked true colors price
this costs like a full on AAA title, but I thought Deck Nine is like indie studio?
what wok says: check out true colors' full price
what wok means: vibe cheeeeck serves psychic damage
for that price, without life is strange 2, that's unreasonable imo
although then again it's published by Square Enix, and we know they like to make prices go big, I never forgot about their Octopath Traveller for Steam price.
also i believe a lot of teens and YA latched onto it because it really did feel like playing through a YA novel, but with worse dialogue. plus, it was pretty gay, and i know and saw how much of its fandom was desperate for some kind of lgbt representation at the time
i'm so glad that more games have lgbt representation and better rep at that
Yeah this is what I meant when I said that the time it came out was the only time it could've worked, because the hunger games/divergent era was still SORT of around to an extent
It would flop if it came out now
yeah at the time there was defiantly lack of lgbt representation overall in media and LiS was one of them to push it, it's just sad that said representation if to look more at it, is abusive and not really that healthy. Actually I forgot, was there anything besides Max and Chloe? At least from original.
the kids were at least still very much into YA stylistics and YA novels in general, so you're right!
like, i had a bunch of friends who were avid writers but really depended on YA tropes for their writing. they would spend hundreds of dollars on YA novels.
and i hope that games don't just limit lgbt representation to strictly dating sims, it needs to be normalized in other genres
there was warren. at the end i ||chose to give warren a kiss||
yes yes!! and some of the 'representation' that has come out in non walking sim/text-based/dating sim games has been atrocious. that one mass effect game? eugh!
i haven't played mass effect, so i'm not sure what happened in that game but i'll take your word for it
dead-naming 😶
apparently the character deadnames themselves 🤨 🤪
??
was it some weird oversight by the writers? how could they not catch that
from the games i've personally played i liked the representation in the games night in the woods and va-11 hall-a
:c they had to re-write some parts of her because of the backlash they received
va11hall-a my beloved
nitw is on my list
damn, sorry to hear that zelda
i heard nitw
Nitw? Nreath if the wild?
I'll probably push through cause it's short but.
night in the woods
it's all g if it isn't your thing, but the characters really grew on me
LOL everything is just a remix of breath of the wild
It's funny like once in a half hour and that's about it
it is a sad story based game, about depression or other mental illness, forgot, so i'd understand if it makes you uncomfortable
i had to tell my friend that there were prequels lol
wait is that considered spoilers
I get it being in your twenties sucks
I should finish that game
also, go the bea route
no it's not ataino. i believe that's well known
I don't come to games to hear that lmao
wait there's routes??
Please mark spoilers
night in the woods is like cartoonish furry 2dscroller that has more believe dialogue than first LiS. I big recommend it.
really??? Is it objectively better
i mean i only ever watched jacksepticeye play it because my friend pushed me to. I literally had no idea of it's existence. So i'd personally think this could be spoilers if i were to possibly play it in the future-
it might just not be your thing then, you shouldn't slog through it if you don't enjoy it
they're both good, i just like bea a lot lol
that's fair. i've just seen its basic contents regarding that stuff being discussed frequently
although i guess i am the exception to the usual: i don't like mainstream and popular things often i avoid them ig
i have no idea of the contents of the game otherwise
i don't really remember either but yeah if it wasn't for that playthrough i wouldn't have heard of it lol
Idk it might get better later and the music is neat
it's a nice time, especially if you play it in the fall
I expected to enjoy it more than I did so far overall though
is it the slice of life part that you don't like?
Very ironic that I have this good pc I can play things on but everything new I try I don't enjoy
Kinda???
It feels like it's trying too hard to be #relatable
Also the minigames are very random and I don't like any of them
Am I the only one who thinks LiS graphics are already too outdated?
Okay aside from the bass playing one
omg... it's fall today...
hmm, once the main story starts to pick up, if you don't like it then, i'm not really sure you'll like the rest
That one is alright
The OG when it cane out looked great but years have passed since then
i guess the lis remaster will help with that?
Okay when does it pick up?? Like part 3 I'd guess?
okay emu thank u i think monument valley 2 is still my priority but i'm gonna try to play nitw asap
i gotta finish seasons after fall as well
also i'm almost finished with hzd on pc and i love the story and gameplay a lot, but the facial animations take me out of it completely, ik it would be very difficult for them to hand animate it all but it's just not good
Yeah, HZD has a fair number of rough parts.
I honestly don't play much rn, just having my dad playthrough Disco Elysium which is honestly quite funny experience.
All the time and attention went into the 21st century backstory and the robots, so current characters (besides Aloy) can be pretty messed up.
it's been a couple years since i've last played so i'm not really sure, but ||halloween|| (<- this isn't really a spoiler) is where the plot picks up
and possibly Pyre too, since he wants something else besides Disco Elysium and I quote "at least this game doesn't look like it's depressing"
Okay I'll try to hold on til then
I want XCOM3
we have xcom 2.5
HaHA Pyre doesn't look like that alright
aka XCOM R6 Siege version
I miss Pyre already and I finished it this month
pyre looks like endless stained glass
exactly, the story and plot of what was going on back then was really interesting, i kind of wish they took more time in development to fix the aloy time period parts
I guess what he meant more is that it's unlikely Pyre would hit too close to reality like DE
Until Forbidden West also sucks in that regard, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt in prioritizing the set-up so that they can more strongly finish Aloy's story.
is the story good? i got it for free at the end of 2019 bundled with hades while it was still in early access but haven't gotten a chance to play yet
You BET
Pyre is SGG's best narrative, and it's not even really close?
well it's more about the characters
oh? i would've thought hades was
Hades is their best game.
If you like found family you will Love Pyre So Much
character driven stories are more compelling than story driven for me, so that's good
Pyre is the best soundtrack though
found family is a trope i will never get tired of
imo pyre's character story is the best out of it, transistor, and bastion
But Pyre is 65% visual novel and even for their first outing with so many characters (Bastion had 4, Transistor 4 or 5, Pyre explodes to nearly as many characters as Hades), it's masterfully written.
Pyre's OST does nothing for me.
It's the only one of the four I don't keep in my shuffle.
Okay emu just go play Pyre r i g h t n o w
It's great in-game, but that's all (for me).
will do, i'm still playing ai the somnium files rn but once i finish i'll start pyre
oh also i should mention that the pyre fandom has some fantastic artists and content creators. a lovely bunch in general
oh yeah I can get that Pyre ost? awesome, but it's strange to listen to medieval fantasy beats outside of it
Me neither, I listen to it regularly
Then again i literally listen to nothing but video game music
like can listen to few songs with lyrics, but otherwise doesn't do much.
It doesn't really need to do things, it's nice to just chill to and pretty dang diverse
pyre's is?
Yeah
hmm, might just need to start it, you guys have convinced me lmao
Also Hades might objectively be the best but personally I am just Sooooo biased towards Transistor
i haven't played but the voice acting in transistor sounded really good
especially in the opening scene
i love transistor. but this is a conversation for another channel lmao
Man I like how Logan's roles couldn't be more different between Transistor and Pyre
transistor is my fave supergiant game, for sure
these are technically video games
also does the gameplay of pyre grow on you? i heard it was sort of a sport format and i'm not a huge fan of those types of games
Heck yeah
I'd say it does get better
It's not sport format, it's an exclusively boss rush game
But also the whole thing of Pyre is that you can lose every time and the story will work regardless
The sport is just thrown in to clarify that it's not killing.
If you crank up the difficulty, you get two tutorial matches and then Old Dalbert brings the heat!
Aaand that's why I'm never doing TN thanks
I doubt emu would feel inclined to start on heightened too
Oh well
Yeah my first experience with pyre was like, "this is not what I was expecting". I started on heightened.
When I got to the withdrawn I was like, I refuse to lose another match so I replayed that like 20 times
I played on Standard the whole time so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's not nearly as scary on standard trust meeee
yeah, i'm not really a hard difficulty kind of player, standard is my go to in games
Played on Standard, turned on the "enemies move faster" modifier once that became available, and didn't turn it back off until the very last match because I'm a coward.
And by the time I won there was like, constant five minute back-and-fortg exchanges on every play and suddenly I'm like "This is the most exciting thing I've played in my life!"
I should have played with those more than I did in the late game but it's also whatever tbh...
The moral of my story is that hidden behind one of the most player-empowering story mechanics ever made
mood
Is also one of the smoothest, most exciting all boss action games ever made.
nier automata's music is one of the only soundtracks i still listen to, okabe keiichi's a legend
sayonara wild hearts and va11halla also have really good soundtracks
I think I found a song from that game randomly, thought 'this is nice' and that was it
I'm really excited to play va11halla soon-ish, after nitw probably
I don't think I have enough presence to handle it atm but it looks so good
I hope its music borrows more from how actual pc-98 games sounded
i'm sure my feelings towards the game boosted my enjoyment of the tracks, they were integrated well in the game so i listen to them more fondly
Cause unfortunately all I know of those is https://youtu.be/b71RIQo6EGY

(man I will never pass up on an opportunity to mention rain of lamentation lmao I'm so sorry)
hmm, va11halla's soundtrack has kind of a jazzy synth/future funk kind of style, i haven't played actual pc-98 games so i'm not sure how similar they actually are
Hmm yeah ok I'll still enjoy it it's just not what I was expecting

this is a good example of the style of the music @terse hornet
Oh yes it plays pretty early on doesn't it???
you get to choose the music of the game via a jukebox
I already played a very tiny bit of the game but then I realized just how much TEXT and I was like ok not today but someday
Wait it's gonna be like that the whole time?
some parts will have their own predetermined music, but yeah, since you're a bartender in the game it lets you choose the tracks
the music varies, some are high energy, some are lowkey/melancholic
I'm on the fence about that game but this talk is making me wishlist it...
i enjoyed my time with it, it's a vn though so if you go into it more for the characters and their stories rather than the gameplay you'll enjoy it a lot more
Thank you! I'm good with the VN format in theory, even though I'm a little picky in practice. I'll try this bartending thing...
hope you like it! it's a very comfy game
I want more games with this kind of aesthetic in my liiiife
yeah, they're pretty few and far between, looking forward to the sequel game tho
crosscode has a similar character portrait art style but very different gameplay
Valhalla is good
lol when i played valhalla a few days ago i had re: snow(i think tahts what its called) playing since its jazzy :3
its a very good game and i need to do my new game +
since the ending was both satisfying and not at the same time somehow
imo

Microsoft will show over 100 indie games with Twitch 26 March, who is hyped?
I am a big fan of ID@xbox program, I love indie games and rly cant wait to see what they will show.
We at ID@Xbox, the Independent and Digital games publishing program for Xbox, love indie games. It’s in our blood. Technically, it’s also kind of in our name. Turns out our friends at Twitch also love indie games. When we found that out, we thought “we gotta collab!” So, I’m thrilled to announce the first /twitchgaming […]

folks, Baba Is You is a great logic puzzle game
Oh yeah that game. Does look really good
You is Baba
who is baba
you is baba
How is Baba
When is Baba
Where is Baba
Two is Baba
Father is Baba
Drugs
Baba is Baba
Baba is You
We have gone full circle
Baba is Sus
Amogus
i heard talk about baba is you
i must force myself into this discussion that died well over an hour ago
The only baba I know of is Baba Yaga
i've heard a bit about baba is you but it's a puzzle game and i am, in general, an idiot
it's not a puzzle game it's an existential crisis
I took a break, my brain hurts 
not far
or, how far
like, 3rd map?
honestly, you should try to push from 1st to 5th, that's kinda where you start getting in the baba mindset
and my brain already hurts, dis gon be gud 
i know it's hard but i don't know how else to explain it just HAPPENS that after 5th area you kinda just get into the zone
also, here's how many dandelions (levels, technically) are in the game: ||like, 226 lol||
baba is weirdly a lot like coding
it's not "weirdly a lot" it's literally a coding language
it's turing complete
i personally made langton's ant and Life in BIY lol
Lmao
what game is that
hey, so i'm compiling a list of games from before the year 2000 that have a double jump, would appreciate if someone has a new game to add https://pastebin.com/6J80Xe9G
TLDR: in the big 1.2 patch, amongst the presumably many fixes there will be:
-A better police system
-Better driving sensitivity
-a feature where you flip and roll a vehicle if it got stuck
-Disable double tap--->dodge button in the settings
Breath of the Wild I assume
Hoshido or Nohr?
yea BOTW

that's enough internet for today.. sometimes out of the corner of my eye i see things that are not even there
hey y’all, i’m looking to get a new controller. would you guys recommend xbox one, dualshock four, or other? budget is up to around £60, must be bluetooth compatible
thanks in advance <33
this one been doing me good for the past 2 years https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/xbox-one/accessories/controllers/products/microsoft-xbox-one-polar-white-wireless-controller/129943.html?msclkid=074513927a271d4294fc73c73c89e3a6&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Tinuiti_BNG_NB_PLA_Catch-All&utm_term=4583176796702223&utm_content=All Products&gclid=074513927a271d4294fc73c73c89e3a6&gclsrc=3p.ds
just remember to turn it off otherwise your battery life goes "pheewww kaboom"
just be careful, last versions of DS4, XB1 just like switch, tend to drift after a while
that model unfortunately is no longer available
you might need to use the new Xbox Core Controller instead
access denied to to website ._.
🛬 🤯
oh no i’m getting a new controller bc of joystick drift
and sticky buttons
don’t wanna have to do that twice
Just google Xbox Core Controller.
I have one. No problem so far.
my old DS4 used to work for a good period, untill was smacked against the floor after a bad match
don't get the white one if you got sweaty hands :3
If you really love DS design
There is this
Play Xbox games on your mobile phone or tablet from the Clou
all the new ones started to drift after couple of months
mines doing just fine after a year or two
I don't own that controller specifically but my previous purchases from 8bitdo have been great
wish i could relpace sticks myself, but that takes some equipment i don't have
time to become a welder ig
some time ago it was revealed that the problem is in hardware supplier, the sticks they provide are meant to work only for around 400 hours
of active moving
which is nothing for modern gaming
Play with dpad 
i would rather die
imagine not being able to move in all directions
SAD
kbm users: 
Dash your way to victory
i need to play WAY more hades than i do
i haven't touched the game in a long time but that's because i can't really main a single game
why are you wasting time
but listen listen
🔫 
there's a Hades CS:GO music kit!
we know
:/
I'm still waiting!!
That's no excuse!!
That's erm quite the punishment
Per the legendary Day9, the best curse I have ever heard is
I wish that you don't have a dominant hand, so when you want to grab something, you have to think about what hand to use. And every movement will ever come naturally to you. No no, I don't wish you death or cancer or anything like that. That's cruel and severe. I just hope that you don't have a dominant hand, a punishment suit for a dumbass like you.
If you think I haven't done that and can't handle it, you're mistaken

YYUEAEFFESJYSTVNEYESSS
someone tell me why Shin Megami Tensei is good
great soundtrack. somehow makes turn-based combat fun. great story. ||maybe not in nocturne case though||
I can't speak on the series at large, but the Persona subseries at least tends to have good music. P5 in particular has a truly incredible soundtrack.
i haven't played nocturne since 2012 on my friends ps2
i never got to finish it
what i played it wa sgreat
doggo, you were philosophizing in #tv-and-movies last night whether on purpose or not. that's all nocturne is. makes you question your ideals instead of a concrete story.
devil survivor is still my fav game of all time. hades is giving it a big run for its money.
devil survivor 2 on the other hand is one of the worst smt games
i pirated emulated P5 on a ps3 emulator. to be honest there was too many problems in my imo for me to hold it such high regard. from p5r reviews it seems it fixes all my issues with the og.
P4 is great.
P3 sucks beyond belief. don't know how you can play that game.
P1 is good but has too many problems to be even a 6/10
i'm talking too much
i'll stop
Until P5 I'd heard more people hold up P3 as the best SMT game than anything else, besides maybe DDS1 or 2 or Nocturne.
But I'm also the guy who hates Dark Souls but loves Bloodborne.
i still need to play digital devil saga and devil summoner but in P3 you can't control your party members which makes the game feel unskillful and down to luck. i was also dreading the story.
someone told me to play P3P because you can control your party members but i still need to try that
I'll come back to the Persona/SMT convo later
but I'm playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3
and the game literally includes a pdf for you to read
pffft
cue the kero kero flamingo but bruh
that's cringe
also you better name your character Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon
slay the spire is hard
looking back at run logs and I don't even know where I went wrong, died to champ this run and did excellent beforehand
The champ asks if you can either scale or if you can block a major hit for multiple turns
poggers
It's like Pokémon on steroids made by a mythology buff who is also on steroids (granted, the game devs stray far from that description)
where are you in the game rn?
Haven't been playing due to homework
I think Ikebukuro Library is my next quest
Honestly from what I heard IV is one of the easiest games to run
also nice Jack frost PFP
haha thanks
IV is one of the easiest SMT games
well naraku is quite punishing
but once you ||get to tokyo|| the game becomes really easy imo
yeah true
do you have any plans on which alignment route you want to go?
yea the only way to know which alignment you are is by talking to a guy in the bar
I would go neutral but I know that's next to impossible if you're playing blind
hah
i was kinda aiming for it but never used any guide
cool
i think it was cuz i never realized i was going law till the endgame
then i picked chaos options after that lmao
I've also been devoting time to Persona 5 Strikers
how is it?
very fun
heard good stuff about it but expensive
I have but one complaint
hot springs scene
painful.
other than that, exhilirating game
how?
Oh basically persona 3 onwards has a weird joke
there's always a scene were the main boys are in the hot springs one way or another and then the girls come in
this is almost never intentional on the boy's part
how is it painful
oh the girls get mad.
gerry go to bed
bruh i thought that was only in P3
and when the boys try to explain themselves they get punted
but it's only checks time midnight
me during quarantine basically
midnight is early
anyway the battles in strikers are surprisingly intuitive for a hack and slash
new players like me tended to use the persona skills that use sp and pause the battle
but SP runs out fast early game
so you have to learn attacks that use the elemental skills to strike weaknesses as part of a sequence of button combos
like if you want to use eiha or something but don't want to use SP anymore you could do square square triangle triangle or something of the sort
pretty fun to execute
very damn stylish too
no not really
the story is engaging for the most part but I'm not done with it yet, so we'll see
oh right about the story
it's mostly the PTs goofing off and eating food at the beginning and then it continues for a while
is it actually a P5 sequel?
