twin yarrow
#

actually i'd like to get a collection of all the physical PS series

tame veldt
#

ok

twin yarrow
#

at least main ones.. not sure about Vita

#

just to collect dust and play some mustknow games of that time

tame veldt
#

ps...? ps...? ps...?

graceful galleon
#

curious, will you get arrested (in your respective countries you guys live in) if you download like ps2/gc/whatever isos through non-legal means?

tame veldt
#

it's a grey area

twin yarrow
#

in Germany, pretty sure yes

graceful galleon
#

cause here, the authorities really dont care about pirated digital stuff

twin yarrow
#

in my country, you technically should, but if you actually distribute it

#

but nobody really cares

#

they can only block all the resources where people usually get things

#

even without court order now..

#

most of the time it ends in half of the normal webpages stop working properly, while the blocked resourse is still accessible with VPN or something

#

some time ago they bothered with some twitter pages from 2017 nobody cared about, and demanded twitter itself to remove them

#

ofc, twitter probably didn't even hear anything

#

and now they want to block twitter completely

#

(shrug)

#

unlike in US, web restrictions here are as severe, but most of the time don't work

#

but tbh, i didn't expect US to appeal to the same means as our authorities

graceful galleon
#

I see, it's pretty similar in my country then

#

tons of web restrictions, one wrongful page and they gonna block everything (they blocked reddit here)

tame veldt
#

oh no,

#

anyway

#

reddit is cool but terrible if you want to post

twin yarrow
#

reddit is just internet in a nutshell

tame veldt
#

just ask someone on discord if you have a question

#

i.e. non-virus emulators? boom. got an answer

#

believe it or not i asked google first

twin yarrow
#

that's an easy one, since there are only three of them in existance

tame veldt
#

ah

#

do any of them have the bios preinstalled

graceful galleon
#

through official sites, no i dont think so

twin yarrow
#

one of them does

tame veldt
#

i'm listening

twin yarrow
#

well, it doesn't require any, to be exact, but it's in developing state

tame veldt
#

mmmmmm

#

i can buy persona 4 and nocturne on steam. but where can i play classic ratchet and sly

twin yarrow
#

so, compatibility list is not as huge as it'd be nice to be

#

as they say, buy a physical PS, then buy a physical disc and let them collect dust

#

like if that would be better than ~~piracy ~~emulating

tame veldt
#

yeah i don't see myself actually using the console and believe me i want a ps2 but ebay prices are awful

#

am i in sunshine?

#

does dolphin support xbox controller

#

s

#

?

twin yarrow
#

no idea

#

maybe as much as any other controller

polar dragon
#

any emulator worth its salt should support it

twin yarrow
#

basic input without fancy features

tame veldt
#

i still need to finish p3p on ppsspp which is a great emulator so far

#

i'ma wait til i branch out even though i want to play nocturne again so bad

#

so where did y'all find the ps2 bios

#

IT'S ON VIMMLAIR

#

NOCTURNE HERE I COME

graceful galleon
tame veldt
#

have you happened to use a wireless?

dire condor
#

As long as your computer recognizes it as an Xbox controller, Dolphin should work seamlessly.

tame veldt
#

hm

#

well it didn't. i'll figure it out somehow

mortal siren
#

Never played persona

#

Sould i play from the first or skip to certain entry

tame veldt
#

only play 1 and 2 if you care about the series at all

mortal siren
#

Do i like dont understand the lore if i dont

tame veldt
#

you can really enter anywhere but 1 and 2 are too different from teh rest and lack a certain polish

dire condor
#

But that would deprive you of P5's OST.

mortal siren
tame veldt
#

the only recurring character is igor.

#

and he's not that important

#

except for one game but i ain't spolin'

mortal siren
#

P3 is only on psp?

tame veldt
#

and ps2

mortal siren
#

Ps2 emu gud?

tame veldt
#

haven't tried but you can only control your party members in p3p and so far it is miles better than P3FES

#

and the psp emu is great

mortal siren
#

Will try later, thanks

tame veldt
#

no problem

dire saffron
#

I’m such a gamer

#

Lvl 15 pog

mortal siren
#

What even is this

dire saffron
#

Tetris

#

Hence the t-block on the screenshot

mortal siren
#

What tetris

tame veldt
#

when tetris

dire saffron
#

Marathon on the mobile app :3

#

Very fun

mortal siren
#

There's only 1 tetris mobile?

dire saffron
#

The 3 min is dumb and I only play marathon

graceful galleon
#

playing tetris with touch controls is rough

dire saffron
#

This is the one I use

tame veldt
#

apple: 🤮

mortal siren
#

I see

dire saffron
#

Yeeaaa I’m on my iPad

polar dragon
#

yeah because no modern phone has that aspect ratio

mortal siren
#

What a company name: The official block puzzle game

dire saffron
#

Although idek how to t-spin normally, just that the controls force me to spin one way

mortal siren
#

Wats t spin

tame veldt
#

spin the T a lot and you get extra points

dire saffron
#

A funny lil trick you can do where you force the t- block into a spot via spinning it a certain way

#

It takes a specific setup

tame veldt
#

guess i'm wrong

dire saffron
#

And a setup I can’t do consistently so I don’t try

#

It does give you more points lol

tame veldt
#

guess i'm right

graceful galleon
#

Icant do T-spin consistently either

#

I usually just do 2 or 3-wide

dire saffron
#

I do one wides lol

#

Feels the most comfy for me

thorn tundra
#

you have to learn different t-setups

#

and be familiar with the tetris block RNG

#

also learn openings

#

tetris is hard to learn when it comes to the things you just have to learn

#

but after that its generally just who do it faster

lusty turret
#

Anyone actually played Strange Brigade???

zealous fossil
#

I has returned

#

from thy grave

woven breach
#

Elo

mortal siren
#

I hears strange brigade is dying

woven breach
#

That is very... strange

lethal drift
#

Very Strange Brigade

graceful galleon
north wolf
#

The Thing, GRIS, Beholder, Inmost, Death and Taxes, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Doki Doki Literature Club, Helltaker, Hotline Miami, Outlast

#

it is around 8 - 10 hours I think

north wolf
#

and Wolf Among Us

#

and Observer

#

Close to the Sun

wanton iris
#

Deltarune's pretty short aswell

wanton iris
north wolf
floral warren
wanton iris
#

I'd play it but it was removed from gamepass

hybrid jetty
#

idk if gris is underrated considering how I see nothing but praise for it lol

floral warren
#

uhhhh

#

GRIS is such a must play

north wolf
#

it is

#

only game that ever made me cry

tame veldt
orchid tree
#

so if i'm just immune to crying i simply haven't played a lot of games?

tame veldt
#

yeah my logic doesn't make much sense

floral warren
#

mhm

tame veldt
#

i need the name of a ps2 game. testing the emu.

floral warren
#

Crash Twinsanity

#

Metal Gear Solid 3

wraith cradle
tame veldt
#

got one

north wolf
#

perhaps

tame veldt
#

twinsanity is up and running

polar dragon
#

How does Final Fantasy claim to be "final" if they release one every other year?

tame veldt
#

for some reason their first release was called 13

floral warren
#

cuz it was their last hope in making games back with FF1

#

the "final" one if you will

polar dragon
#

What

tame veldt
#

what are you whatting to?

polar dragon
#

FF13 isn't the first FF

floral warren
tame veldt
#

"Final Fantasy XIII is the first installment"

#

says in the picture

floral warren
#

I played a bit of FF6 on the ps1 emulator

tame veldt
#

i trust it

floral warren
#

I like the boss theme of it tbh

tame veldt
#

pick game

polar dragon
#

P4

tame veldt
#

ok

polar dragon
#

Is this ps3?

tame veldt
#

ps2

#

golden age of shin megami tensei

#

ps3 got nothing from atlus on the smt front

quartz latch
#

Can't say that generation was kind to the genre at large 😔

tame veldt
#

^

#

but then the 3ds got some good stuff so it's fine

#

but there isn't very many 3ds isos going around on the interwebs

wraith cradle
#

Am I the only one that every time that reads SMT always Subsconsciously thinks it as Shin Megami Sensei for some reason?

tame veldt
#

yeah you're definitely the only one

polar dragon
#

What's smt supposed to stand for?

wraith cradle
#

Shin Megami Tensei

tame veldt
#

which in japanese means something like "The new reincarnation of the goddess"

polar dragon
#

japanese and their naming of things

#

I mean Byleth Final Smash is called Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven

tame veldt
#

don't know what that's referencing

#

at least i know the reason why it's called the new reincarnation of the goddess

polar dragon
#

I just mean that they have the most elaborated names

tame veldt
#

mmmmm

polar dragon
#

It sounds cool though

normal marsh
#

crosscode, wandersong, omori, going under, and night in the woods are some of my favorites

#

though be warned omori is mostly fun and upbeat but it's got some legit horror moments

tame veldt
#

how is omori scary everything i've seen is just earthbound

normal marsh
#

if you haven't played it, then you won't be able to get a good idea

#

trust me, it has horror

tame veldt
#

is it jumpscare when you lose a battle

#

then it says you suck on screen

normal marsh
#

no

tame veldt
#

that's pretty damn scary

normal marsh
#

i don't really wanna explain for sake of spoilers, it's something that would be best going into without prior knowledge

#

i'm only mentioning the horror as a content warning

tame veldt
#

i'll just check youtube

normal marsh
#

you do you man

tame veldt
#

i'm just curious

#

don't believe it til i see it

normal marsh
#

i get that, but it really is something you shouldn't spoil for yourself

#

but if it's not something you'll play then it doesn't matter then

tame veldt
#

all in all it seems pretty minor.

#

just little things showing up for a second

normal marsh
#

a lot of it is built up stuff/atmospheric, i doubt it'd have much weight on someone if they just looked at the horror part directly

tribal iris
#

has anyone here played hyper light drifter?

tame veldt
normal marsh
#

sort of

#

atmospheric is more the word, it just has more of an impact through playing the game rather than just looking at the horror

#

i agree it doesn't really seem like much on its own

wraith cradle
#

The thing about Omori is that is a slow burn

#

||And one of the routes is much more horror based than the other||

tame veldt
#

know which one i'm taking

wraith cradle
#

To be honest I hated that route.

tame veldt
#

know which one i'm not taking

wraith cradle
#

Maybe because it's just miseryfest for the sake of misery

normal marsh
#

i've only gotten to the ||shark || boss

wraith cradle
#

Like the Genocide Route in Undertale

tame veldt
#

mmmmm

wraith cradle
#

THAT BEING SAID

#

Unlike Undertale the route plays up the challenge

tribal iris
#

is omori purely horror or is it more story based?

normal marsh
#

story

tribal iris
#

i know that it's a messed up game but that's about it

normal marsh
#

it has a lot of light hearted moments

wraith cradle
#

Is story based

normal marsh
#

it is lighthearted for the vast majority

wraith cradle
#

The trailer baits you completely

#

Into thinking the Plot dilemma is something completely different

#

The Actual game clues you in early tho

tribal iris
normal marsh
tribal iris
#

oh

#

well my friend spoiled me the ending

#

cause he was watching playthroughs

#

prepare for the worst

#

or not depends how you look at it

wraith cradle
#

Man, watching THAT scene unspoiled when I played it was a trip

#

I was crying when it ended

tribal iris
#

||the one where he stabs himself?||

wraith cradle
#

HUGE SPOILERS ||The Duet||

tribal iris
#

interesting

#

i've only heard about what happens

#

never seen it

normal marsh
#

imma leave before i get spoiled lmao

#

bye yall

tribal iris
#

yeah you better head out

wraith cradle
#

That scene is the emotional climax of the game.

tribal iris
#

interesting

wraith cradle
#

Because A: ||It's the part where the protagonists finally 'Win'|| and B ||After hearing small pieces and chords from the music you get finally to hear the whole composition||

#

And it's beautiful

tribal iris
#

so the puzzle is finally completed?

wraith cradle
#

More or less

#

It's just that ||The Duet was so important for the plot that the pay off to finally hear it is awesome||

tribal iris
#

yeah i'll check it out

#

im sorry im just a bit of an a-hole and touching moments don't really do it for me

wraith cradle
#

No worries

tribal iris
#

but the other aspects of the game seem interesting

#

like the trauma

tame veldt
junior crown
#

I totally agree. Best scene. Though not all my friends who have Omori finished it so not so many people to share ||tears|| with.

north wolf
#

one of the best 2020 games

tribal iris
#

how long is it

#

i think i'll play it

tame veldt
tribal iris
#

thanks

tame veldt
#

no problemo

wraith cradle
#

The thing about Omori is that the bracket of time to finish is wide

#

From 18 to 70 hours

#

There is tons and I mean TONS of optional stuff

normal marsh
#

i'm 14 and a half hours in

#

have only done around 8-10 quests

#

though i've been taking a break recently, it'll prob take some time for me to get back into the flow of things

tame veldt
#

why is berri gerri funny

#

i hate my sense of humour

polar dragon
#

Which p is that

#

Silver hair so 4?

tame veldt
#

yes it is 4

#

i will be doing this for the entirety of my playthrough

wraith cradle
#

Reminder that persona 4 is 12.5 years old

#

Time flies

woven breach
#

Have you guys tried the dancing spin off game?

polar dragon
#

I propose a new way of looking into age. A game is only born when you play it. That makes P3P 3 days old to me.

tame veldt
tame veldt
tame veldt
graceful galleon
#

So with that logic, P3FES is like 6 months for me dusa

woven breach
tame veldt
#

not really

#

plus the controls are a little awkward

#

if vita emulation becomes a thing i'll try it again

woven breach
#

Man, if vita emulation is a thing, I'd play muramasa rebirth

#

I miss that game

#

So much

tame veldt
#

i wonder when and why it hasn't happened yet

#

i wonder what happens if you put a ps2 game in a psp emulator

#

and vice versa

polar dragon
#

i just won't work lol

tame veldt
#

why not

polar dragon
#

ppsspp doesn't even load true psp game itself

tame veldt
#

wdym

polar dragon
#

psp games come in two types, .iso which is ripped from the disc.
.eboot which generally comes from psn downloads.

#

ppsspp only works with .iso, so psp emulators don't even cover all the psp games itself, let alone ps2 games

tame veldt
#

hm

#

so can the developer of ppsspp make an eboot version or is the eboot the problem?

polar dragon
#

maybe, but they probably won't

tame veldt
#

all the good games had physical releases

polar dragon
#

almost missed Hades with that one.

tame veldt
#

what?

#

oh

#

nvm

#

i'm the joke-not-getterer

#

also so far i'm liking P4 a lot more than P3P so far

thorn tundra
#

Im just surprised that the psp store was still alive....

#

you can search for eboot -> iso converters

tame veldt
#

i don't trust that for one minute

#

honestly i still don't trust vimm and ppsspp but they're working and doing their job so i'm chillin'

#

ayyy

#

nice

woven breach
#

Nice

polar dragon
tame veldt
#

i don't use citra

#

i don't want to dump nor do i know how to

polar dragon
#

alrighty

tame veldt
#

i can't find any 3DS roms or isos

#

i gave up on citra

polar dragon
#

alrighty

tame veldt
#

um

#

alrighty...?

thorn tundra
#

3DS uses .cia

tame veldt
#

doesn't change the fact that you can't find any online 3DS games

polar dragon
#

so you need to dump your own rom

tame veldt
#

like downloads

polar dragon
#

i miss emuparadise

#

but it was so blatant lmao

tame veldt
#

what's that?

#

is my gen z showing?

#

or?

polar dragon
#

it was a rom site

#

basically everything was on it

tame veldt
#

was it a virus

polar dragon
#

but nintendo shut it down last year or two years ago I think

tame veldt
#

o

#

so i should download all the games on vimm until i lose them all

mortal siren
#

Not everything is a virus gerri

polar dragon
#

^

#

that said, I don't want to encourage anything just in case

tame veldt
#

i heard "it was blatant" like it was blatantly a virus

polar dragon
#

you either trust it or you don't

polar dragon
tame veldt
#

ah

#

how has vimm not been shut down then?

mortal siren
#

Ye just like pirate bay, totally useless now

tame veldt
polar dragon
#

that's because nintendo doesn't want to go after them

#

notice how they steer far far away from 2nd generation consoles

#

no 3ds, no ps3, etc

tame veldt
#

they have ps3

#

but yeah no 3ds

polar dragon
#

ps4*

tame veldt
#

ah

mortal siren
#

Repacking sites have a ton of switch emus wdym

tame veldt
#

you can emulate the switch?

mortal siren
#

Ye

polar dragon
#

yeah, but not well

mortal siren
#

Its not like the switch was ultra high end

tame veldt
#

i guess

polar dragon
#

lmao the moment you download a gba rom you don't own, technically you are violating the law

mortal siren
#

repack sites
Legal trouble

tame veldt
#

emulation really is a gray area

polar dragon
#

what do you mean I dump my own roms, obviously

tame veldt
#

i know that's sarcastic, but i'm pretty sure you have to do that for citra right?

polar dragon
#

the answer is like one reddit search away

woven breach
#

Reddit is banned here

tame veldt
#

uhhhhhh what do i search....? what do i search....? what do i search....?

polar dragon
#

gerri, seriously?

tame veldt
#

ikuygtfdcvbghjg

#

daghh

#

sorry

polar dragon
#

it's like
a) what are you looking for
b) what site do you want to search on
c) google.com

tame veldt
#

um

woven breach
normal marsh
#

i miss emuparadise, i was able to play earthbound on there

tame veldt
#

right there

normal marsh
#

oh it's still up?

tame veldt
#

LOOK

#

now

normal marsh
#

oh, reading the chat i thought it was shut down

tame veldt
#

that's what doggo said

normal marsh
#

haven't emulated in years so i didn't know

tame veldt
#

this might be a fake replica because this is very amogus reference

#

"Pokemon Ash Gray Official Rom Download Free Gba Gamecube"

polar dragon
tame veldt
#

so it's a fake

polar dragon
#

likely theemuparadise is a backup but I know for sure it's not run by the original people.

normal marsh
#

fox is the link you posted the official one?

polar dragon
#

yeah

#

you can read why they shut it down also

normal marsh
#

ok this is the ui i remember

tame veldt
#

i don't want to click anything because i don't want to download this stuffbut it looks like they're still hosting iso and roms

polar dragon
#

none of the links work for the site I sent. they are just there, clicking them doesn't do anything

tame veldt
#

why do they still pay for bandwidth if it's entirely defunct

polar dragon
#

idk, I mean the forums are still there, they still host emulators, not roms, etc. etc.

tame veldt
#

mmmmm

polar dragon
#

also given how long the site has been around, sentimental reasons?

#

idk, why do people do the things they do

tame veldt
#

mmmm

#

sorry, i ask too many questions.

winter mica
#

@tame veldt not a good joke

tame veldt
#

sorry

limpid perch
#

CS:GO's music kit for the Hades soundtrack

floral warren
#

never thought I would be hearing a Darren music in CS:GO but here we are

#

the bass on start round is so amazing

limpid perch
#

Sadly you can't get it in stattrak

mortal siren
#

Damn

#

That was good

thorn tundra
#

oh you were discussing pokemon rom hacks

#

honestly the amount of pokemon rom hacks and fan games shows just how much the fans are craving

#

but pokemon legends is a step in the right direction

polar dragon
#

they scratch the difficulty itch for me

#

I love pokemon, but man the original game is a sleeper in term of strategy

thorn tundra
#

I hope the gym leaders at least form a team around a strategy

#

its really sad how much of the strategy around pokemon is only used in competitive/VGC

polar dragon
#

just make the pokemons have better coverage

thorn tundra
#

like if gyms used a rain-based team or a trick room team it would be a lot interesting

#

and people would see that pokemon isn't just a spam attack game

polar dragon
#

like slap hidden power on something to surprise the player

#

oh yeah, i would cream if they set up a gym battle with trick room team

#

or like a chlorophyll team

#

imagine bringing your fire pokes to a grass gym
laugh it up when the enemy uses sun
then cry when you get swept by a Venusaur

steady otter
#

that's not a game made for kids tho >.>

#

and while pokemon is played by everyone, it's made for kids

#

it's rock paper scissors, but with monsters you can collect & put in your pocket

#

what they should have is the different modes again

#

so you can choose to make the game more difficult

polar dragon
#

you can make it a setting thing, like how set/switch option is tucked in options.

#

that way kids won't have to worry about beating a hard game and adults can look for more challenges in option.

steady otter
#

bring back the key system from bw2, but make it better

polar dragon
#

make exp share team wide like sw sh also

steady otter
#

I wish I could turn that off

#

so no

#

make it something you can toggle

polar dragon
#

yeah toggle makes sense, but imo it's a good qol thing

steady otter
#

it's so annoying when you don't want to level pokemon

polar dragon
#

why wouldn't you want to level a pokemon?

steady otter
#

to have cute little lvl 1 babies for my living dex

#

and in general, to keep the game from being too easy

polar dragon
#

wait if you are making a living dex shouldn't they stay in the box anyway?

steady otter
#

yes, but first you gotta hatch them

polar dragon
#

well yeah, but then difficulty should be adjusted accordingly

steady otter
#

and it just so happens that in swsh the nursery I used most was in the wild area >.>

#

I forgot sometimes if a baby had hatched already

#

anyways, I don't like being forced to have exp share on >.>

polar dragon
#

yeah that's fair

mystic wave
#

play Shin Megami Tensei, you can catch em all and still have your difficulty zaglol

mortal siren
#

smt looks so niche somewhat

mystic wave
#

persona is the more mainstream branch

mortal siren
#

Does the smt mobile is on par?

mystic wave
#

cant say anything about that, but i can say the SMT Nocturne coming to Switch is great

mortal siren
#

I dont think ill ever get a switch tvh with the scalping going around

mystic wave
#

then, how about steam version

#

I don't know about other people but this screams "good times" to me
Throughout its lifetime, the series has incorporated elements of Gnosticism, various world mythologies and religions including Christianity and Buddhism, early science fiction, Jungian psychology and archetypes, occultism, punk, and cyberpunk.[2][5][71][74][81][82] The science fiction and fantasy elements are brought together and unified through the use of philosophical concepts, enabling a blending of concepts and aesthetics that might normally clash.[74]

mortal siren
#

Too many cooks spoils the broth

mystic wave
#

haha don't worry, they dont have that many cooks 😆

#

anyway, the ideas were executed well

thorn tundra
#

honestly my only problem with SMT is the mechanic for catching them

mystic wave
#

you mean talking to the creatures? recalling some really funny convos with them. lots of nostalgia there lol

sleek quiver
#

Haven’t looked around for PS5s, but it seems people scalped those here too

woven breach
#

As for switch, since we don't have official release here. Some game store import them from singapore. There's mark ups but no shortages

#

As for PS5....

#

Some scalpers mark ups here and there but not to 1000 bucks degree

steady otter
#

it's calmed down with the resell prices

#

still too high, but lower

#

normal price is around 5.2-6k nok

#

resell is around 6.5-9k

sleek quiver
#

Yeah, I don’t see the Switch being scalped here, seems to always have been the same price it was since launch

#

PS5 though, is scalped everywhere you go

around mid march 2020 Switch prices were crazy here, shoots up to 2x-2.5x retail

#

both Switch & Switch lite

sleek quiver
#

How is it now? Still that high price?

graceful galleon
#

lucky I bought my Lite at around Jan-Feb 2020, before it shoots up

#

It gradually goes down but not quite retail price

#

like 1.2x-1.3x retail

sleek quiver
#

I skipped the Switch during the whole last year, because I needed to save money

steady otter
#

I haven't seen any switch reselling

sleek quiver
#

Didn’t really checked the price back then

steady otter
#

I think we still have switches in the stores

graceful galleon
#

I think Nintendo themselves struggle with fulfilling Switch demand back then

sleek quiver
#

The local one right here have a few units still, didn’t seem like it moved a lot since most people buy on their online page

steady otter
#

we're not that many people in this country

sleek quiver
#

I mean, the store online page, not Nintendo’s

thorn tundra
#

I jist realized that its weird that switch in some places got hoarded because of quarantine

#

Cause the switch is.... For people who go out a lot

woven breach
#

They want them mario games

thorn tundra
#

And it gotr hoarded at a time people.... Wouldnt go out a lot

steady otter
graceful galleon
#

AC New Horizons was also selling at 200% retail back then

sleek quiver
#

While some places didn’t get the hype at all lol

graceful galleon
#

crazy times

steady otter
#

it's portable so you can bring it around different rooms in your house

#

or apartment

sleek quiver
#

I guess the hoarding is solely because of AC?

steady otter
#

and it has lots of happy friendly games

thorn tundra
#

I just find it funny that it boosted on sales at a time where we were literally just stucked

sleek quiver
#

Is it?

steady otter
graceful galleon
#

yeah i think AC was one of the triggers

thorn tundra
#

When its really marketed as a console for busy people

steady otter
#

AC is the best way to pass quarantine time since it's based off real time

#

an hour in the game is an hour in real life

graceful galleon
#

prices were already shooting up here before AC release though

steady otter
#

there's stuff you can only catch during nighttime

steady otter
#

either way the switch has great family friendly games that are simple fun

wraith cradle
#

Since when is AC family friendly, the protagonists have literal knives hidden in their sleeves for God's sake

mortal siren
#

they killed families too, thus the rating

steady otter
#

AC in this context is Animal Crossing

#

not Assassins Creed

steady otter
wraith cradle
#

I'm joking about people keeping using the AC acronym

steady otter
#

I mean, I usually use ACNH

#

cuz it's way shorter then writing Animal Crossing New Horizons

mortal siren
steady otter
#

I mean it could've happened in the original AC

#

Nook was a true Crook

#

the fun thing is that Animal Crossing came out before Assassins Creed hehe

tame veldt

||acting like i know anything about this game||

terse hornet
#

I'd say top but that's gut feeling

dire saffron
#

ahh im probably gonna take top

#

Tempted to install FE Heroes now

dire saffron
#

Specifically for my nino

#

I have all 3 nino alts and now they are mostly complete

#

if itll load -_-

#

there we go

#

her tome gives her joint drive atk/spd so the skill just stacks with it

#

she gets around +14 with swift sparrow and both articles of joint procking

#

but thats not even that strong compared to my normal nino that gets a casual +34 if i set it up right

orchid tree

dire saffron
#

i got the brave claude today too from a very lucky pull

#

he wasnt even on the banner and hes a brave unit so extra rare

#

and i pulled legendary dimitri(actually on that banner) pretty early so :3

#

so ive been pretty happy recently in terms of feh

#

got veronica from the free summon, marianne pull and ingrid(gave the solo skill from ingrid to a nino) and gave dedues stance skill to my beruka

dire saffron
orchid tree
#

dire saffron
#

and im still getting the units i want :3

#

and units that i didnt expect but really want like the brave claude i pulled from nowhere

lethal drift
#

good luck with that

stable kindle
#

i play some games every so often but i always inevitably burn out on them for a while because these games largely expect you to log on every day to make any kind of meaningful progress in the long term. some i come back to after a while, most i never look at again lol

wraith cradle
#

GaaS was a mistake

stable kindle
#

oh yeah ive already heard about that lmao

#

ea be like whoa people like single player games?? [shocked pikachu.jpg]

wraith cradle
#

I'm glad they are going this route

#

I really want to kick the teeth out of certain Lightbulb

rigid girder
#

Make it on Switch, as Frostbite was ported the the console :)

#

But tbh, would love any dragon Age on Switch

woven breach
#

Even dragon age 2?

rigid girder
#

Sure! One of best

#

I love first and second one, Inquisition was kinda meh

#

Tho I played it as well

woven breach
#

Inquisition was... something

#

I don't hate it

#

I don't really like it either

#

The only thing I remember was that one time I just leeroy jenkins a dragon

#

3 of my party got wiped

#

I forgot the guy with sword and shield's name

#

But essentially

#

He got the guard skill

#

And slowly chipped away dragon's health

#

After around 30-45 mins, I succeeded

rigid girder
#

That game was so easy I played it without pause

#

More like hack and slash game rather than a game with active pause

#

I used active pause a lot in da1 and da2

#

Like, I planed every move of all my characters

#

That's why inquisition was not for me

wraith cradle
#

What route did you play?

rigid girder
#

Oh, idk, last time I played dragon age was... Few year ago

woven breach
#

Same

rigid girder
#

I know that I played rogue in the inquisition. For dragon age 2 I tried to save everyone haha

#

Damn, I need to replay these games

polar dragon
#

So a persona is supposed to be psyche manifestation

#

Wth is this supposed to mean

fallen sky
#

is that a catperson

polar dragon
#

Yes

fallen sky
#

psyche is furry

polar dragon
#

Literally fursona

fallen sky
#

man if a persona is a psyche manifestation i wonder what mothman being my fave means

polar dragon
#

By the light

fallen sky
#

being blinded by the light sounds about right

#

wait sorry which persona game is that. i'm not all there mentally rn

polar dragon
#

Person 3 Portable

fallen sky
#

'person 3'

#

my friends would play that on their phones during high school. memories

#

i would play persona q instead

not on my phone. on my 3ds

fallen sky
#

okay obligatory 'does anyone here have any opinions on paradise killer' question

#

because my friends keep nagging me about it and i'm beginning to wonder if they're onto something

junior crown
#

Hello

#

I am person who played through Paradise Killer

#

What opinion is needed. The game? The story?

#

If on the game I say it's pretty great. Not exactly the best. But it's great at what it is, which is free roaming exploration detective story amongst powerful and strange people that run the whole thing. It's fun time playing, walking around may become boring, wish there was another upgrade for transportation. But it is nice getting information on case on people on culture and so on, so it isn't that bad. The ending may be on fence for people. I liked it, but some may not due to how it handles endgame.

#

The story I am open to give opinion, interpretation or consideration. It's neatly stuffed with things and they sure leave room for thinking regarding stuff in there.

fallen sky
#

any opinions or comments!

junior crown
#

Okay so another thing I like about the game is fact that, well there are sometimes no exact answer to some questions. The way the case exploration and detective thinking is pretty well. You got characters speculations, physical evidence, statements regarding what they did and all that thinking about it, the game still let's you forge the truth, since as game incorporates these evidences and conversations are as facts that are indeed a thing if proven, but are they truth to what happened and their connection to who done the crime? That is all up to player to digest and see how they feel about it. Who they see it fit and such. Maybe they want to forgive something from one character or blame on another even if they know facts may stuck onto the one they wish to spare. There is defining freedom in well being the strange law, which I think is neat in concept, where unlike in Ace Attorney you would get scolded for bringing up evidence even if you think it's important to point out right way. It has it flaws, but I think it works here, considering the morality of it all, no one in the story is really clean, so it is up to us kind of decide where we point out and do justice and where we let them be on their way.

#

And best thing you are told right away about freedom of your choice at the start. So like it's not sudden fact, it's established thing from the get go. Which for some people want to use. I iust like the fact that anytime in the game you can start and judge the case from the get go. Although I didn't do that and explored all the way til the end I appreciate that feature.

#

Also the artbook slaps, love the commentary on how they designed the characters and all that. Definitely worth a check if you have Paradise Killer

#

If I was on pc I would totally give some opinions on spoiler side, but alas I am not, so that's all I think for my thoughts regarding Paradise Killer.

fallen sky
#

bringing up the ace attorney point is interesting

#

thanks for giving me some perspective on the game!

junior crown
#

No problem! Glad to be of help.

I just browsed the itch.io racial justice bundle from months ago

actually nvm

dire basin
#

wasnt mara a demon of lust or smth?

tame veldt
#

you're right

dire basin
#

mara tried to tempt buddha during his meditation or smth iirc

tame veldt
#

it was like desire or lust

tame veldt

it still fits

#

my only problem is WHY IS HE GREEN

woven breach

or

#

you know

#

uh

#

why does he have wheels?

steady otter
#

why not?

tame veldt
orchid tree
#

it's cool

tame veldt
#

green ween isn't cool in my standards

steady otter
#

mara is depicted as green in the paintings & such

tame veldt
#

mmmm

steady otter
#

so it might be a demon thing

#

a way to show "hey, this one is Bad"

tame veldt
#

i'm not a buddhist. i've only watched nyarly's demons of smt.

yooooo you watch nyarly?

Rio be looking cute though

tame veldt
#

rio...?rio...?rio...?

dire basin

the FeMC social links are underrated

#

rio is the sports girl right

tame veldt
#

why would you do femc on a first run but now that i think about it the menu background was pink

dire basin
#

yea lmao

#

i was wondering that too

#

then again it should be fine

tame veldt
#

um

#

sure

#

i haven't played femc so i don't know what happens

#

something about a person dying somewhere in there but i don't know the specifics

dire basin
#

femc has some differences from base P3

#

the social links are different for some arcanas, the dialogue is different in some parts, romance stuff are some i can recall

#

smth FeMC has better than base P3 is the moon social link not being fat boy who i want to bully

#

one major change in FeMC run is ||you can save shinjiro||

hybrid jetty
#

femc has 50% less kenji making her instantly better, at least for a second playthrough

I pick my avatar based on look and female avatar usually looks cooler than their male counterpart

i was about to say i can't remember the last time i preferred female avatar over male but nvm fenyx game. lov default fenyx too much 🥺

wraith cradle
#

The most extreme case for me is Mass Effect

#

Male Shepard is just too iconic for me

polar dragon
#

Oh yup

#

ME is the exception for me also

#

Femshep doesn't feel right

wraith cradle
#

Yeah male Shepard and female Ryder is da way

polar dragon
#

Ryder?

wraith cradle
#

The mc of Andromeda

#

Unlike the mass effect trilogy Female Ryder and Male Ryder are brothers tho

#

So you just choose which one becomes a protagonist and which one a secondary in the plot

coral hawk
#

Monster hunter rise is the first time I'm going to make a female character first

#

I normally make a male hunter first then get disapointed at how the female armor (normally) looks better and I'm not falling for it this time

dire condor
#

I've only ever played M!Shepard but F!Shepard is about as valid in my eyes.

#

Andromeda doesn't exist.

#

Okay, it does, but just watching a playthrough of it was awful, I put enough hours in that mediocre multiplayer to regret it.

forest stirrup
junior crown
#

Still sad how butchered the gameplay is for both Andromeda and DA: Inquisition. Stuff was just made to be filler content in such beautifully hand crafted maps.

dire condor
#

Does Monster Hunter fall prey to the Chainmail Bikini?

forest stirrup
#

which is a big part of why i find the designs very disappointing

dire condor
#

Wonderful.

#

I hate that Mass Effect 2 and 3 effectively did the same with your party members.

forest stirrup
#

not all of them but a huge chunk of them because of course

dire condor
#

1 actually put Liara, Ashley, and Kaidan in armor when they went out on missions.

#

But nope, but Miranda stays in her skintight catsuit with heels and Jack in her literal leather strap "top" with just a rebreather.

#

Friggin' Jacob the ex-Marine just puts on a rebreather.

wraith cradle
#

Yeah. What an embarrassment EVERYONE knows chainmail is from the medieval ages when MH is an Iron Age setting ron

dire warren
#

me: yeah i always use male hunters
also me, making an alt female character because i have a slight problem with fashion hunting:

junior crown
#

Yeah it is quite sinful on that department. Silly armour mostly all the way for female hunters, with few exceptions where male armour as silly, otherwise yeah. Like Iceborne DLC especially makes it all in bold letters how silly it can get with winter armour being the way it is.

wraith cradle
#

I have no problem with silly armor but racy armor

#

Making my MH character look like a JoJo character makes me live

junior crown
#

I think silly armour can work, if it goes for everyone. It shouldn't be subjected to only one side.

dire condor
#

If you can make everyone look like a JoJo character, great.

wraith cradle
#

Or at least equal opportunity fanservice

dire condor
#

If all the male armor looks like Lord of the Rings and all the female armor looks like Rob Liefield characters, you've got a problem in your art team.

let 👏 dudes 👏 show 👏 their 👏 pecs 👏

i don't care if that armour is not practical for fighting a big dangerous monster, if i can't fight stuff while looking sexy what's even the point

polar dragon
#

Just give everyone a skintight black suit, then put armor on tpp

dire condor
#

Like the Gantz suits?

polar dragon
#

Exactly

junior crown
#

hopefully one day games will be more commonly to be equally realistic and practical on armour or over the top, whatever they prefer more.

polar dragon
#

I mean armors composed of multiple pieces (which is 99% of vidya armor) are extremely dangerous irl. Basically a walking shrapnel vest.
So to heck with realism.
It looks cool, it is a good armor.

junior crown
#

Oh yeah def, I am more on silly side for that. Realistic armour while I think is interesting to see be done, it's not as funny to look at as it counterparts.

You're taking it too seriously :p

ah yeah true right? i'm not gonna get into it here but the way australia treats non live action material has always come off as unusual

Hotline Miami 2 is still legally unavailible in aus and will probably remain that way for the rest of time :/

I forgot about that!! wow after all this time huh. although,, i've heard that it was a bit of a let down

was gonna say "i've heard we're not missing out on much ha ha!" but like this is weird censorship laws we're talking about

#

albino I see you typing 👀

broken smelt
#

Yeah, I heard that too
Indeed, the Australian government when it comes to games and non-live action media in general seems pretty draconian

#

Which is kinda why I was surprised CP2077 didn't get RC'd but in hindsight, not suprised it didn't. Money and the game not living up to the monumental hype cdpr dug themselves with the yes many promises

wraith cradle

I wanted to check and yes

Downwell, dustforce DX, evergarden, Synthetik (I personally recommend this one), she remembered caterpillars, LISA, simulacra, the bard's tale, hacknet, epistory, hand of fate 1

Yeah that's what my friends do too usually. Sadly I can't give back to them since humble experience expensive here

my friends game preferences are way different than me, so I cant give away most of them

wondering if i should co-ordinate my friendship group so that we all can get something out of a humble bundle drop

that'll be really cool

anyways if any of you guys are interested in those titles, hit me up, I can create a gift link (redeem on Steam)
