Recently played STP and has surprisingly fun time with it. I thought it'd be doki or Stanley Parable clone but it ended up being this bizarre horror love story. The director's cut is this fall and thought it's a better time to discuss this weird little game. What routes were /v/'s favorites?

now that we are on the second half of the year. What games released this year had /v/ played? bonus points if you write what you think about them i only played 3 >Balatro Basically poker but rogue-like it's breddy good, was very fun at the begining but after wining a couple of runs i got bored quickly, but i still once in a while return to it to do a couple of runs. >Crow Country it was a nice surprise, a new survival horror with interesting enemy designs, i haven't played the hard mode added after release so i can't say much about that, but for what i've played, i felt it leaned too much on the easy side. >Nine Sols Hollow knigh meets Sekiro's gameplay. without a doubt my GOTY for this year. is a game that did everything well especially the gameplay, when it click it fucking CLICK, and it has the best bosses in a while.

I dunno why. But I just like some bad games. Like You are Empty. Despite looking linda like ass, being buggy. Story not making sense and feeling like someone who hit the crackpipe wrote it. And english voiceacting is super bad. But enjoyed playing it. Either because of the depressing soviet artstyle. Or the fine gameplay loop. I just find it fun. What about you anon

I've been thinking about this for a while, mainly after playing a few rounds in the Arcade mode of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 that came with my Game Pass subscription. Do you guys think Call of Duty killed the modern arena shooter? I'm asking since we don't really have an active platform in these types of games outside small communities that gather together on a Friday night. I'm mainly concerned since I remember looking for a classic FPS to play with a group of 16 people, and I just couldn't find one. The numbers are too little for there to be a sustained player base. This comes after the failure of Halo Infinite which was really killed by Microsoft's desperate desire for a live service game for the Xbox platform. This isn't to say I don't enjoy Call of Duty, as it IS a guilty pleasure of mine to fuck around and shoot people without thinking about it. Although my main concern is that games like Quake don't really exist anymore since there aren't any people willing to join a match at 3AM on a Tuesday, which is sad, but it appears to be the reality of the situation that only games like Call of Duty have the numbers to support a PVP Team Deathmatch like mode. I know Ubisoft tried putting out a F2P version of Call of Duty called XDefiant, although it failed due to Ubisoft refusing to put the game on Steam because they're kinda retarded. What do you think about these popcorn shooters like Call of Duty, Halo, XDefiant, Quake, etc?. Do you think they deserve the fate of being lost to time, or is it just an issue of promotion.

Reporting from Bloomberg. https://archive.is/4VRRs Very quick notes, there isn't much to the article so I can condense all its info down. >console is early in production >inspired by the Steam Deck >is what the Portal was meant to be? >planned 8-inches >isn't planned to be new architecture, will be based on the PS5 >likely several years away I wonder if they'll call it the PS5 Portable or the PSP2?

Hey anons, do you also enjoy the Nintendo Wars series?

Do you like playing Dragon Quest, anon? Are you looking forward to Dragon Quest XII or the new Monster spinoff? Which girl is the best girl? Which monster is the best monster?

Usually these kinds of threads begin with the mandatory "back in my day" type of post, but I really wanted to know something about the anons who were too young to be there when web-based games were the undisputed kings: have you ever played any of these games, and if so, what's your stance on them compared to your other gaming experiences? Also, don't forget to check out the Flashpoint Project at https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ and the very large collection of games they have.

I've been struggling to make a thread like this because of how to express such a niche topic that gets zero attention. But here goes: Over the past few years, a certain game Genshit Impact blew up and changed the mobile market completely. A key factor to its success was not only that it was chinkshit BOTW but it was playable outside of muh wife's boyfriend's Switch for "free." Suddenly, the field went from disposable side games played by turd worlders to being taken seriously overnight. And with it came the copycats, and with that came the need to grow and grab more dollars free of Grapple and Gulag's clutches. Thus the PC clients and controller support rolled out. The advent of Unity and Unreal to Eastern devs, combined with chinks and gooks growing up with always online games and expanding in soft power, while the Nipponese gravitate increasingly towards portability, has resulted in a glut of titles that are available on both PC and phones (sometimes web). As more and more of them come out, some of them, in the spirit of Ross Freeman, convert themselves into packaged games you can purchase on retail. Some mobile devs capitalize off their success on phones to develop real hardcore games. Meanwhile, hardcore games have slowly adopted the same live service trappings of mobile titles, and handheld game ports are making more money than ever. <battle passes <microtransaction shops, lootboxes, and gachas <deckbuilding <wikis and metas <"gameplay loops" <limited time collabs and crossovers All the talk about normalfag gamers suddenly discovering indie games is BS as Palworld and Helldivers 2 were both live service games that happened to have the aesthetic of hardcore games. This development is what flash games and handheld titles were leading up to. My thesis is that games will eventually be designed for both mobile and PC from the ground up, due to the rise of the East in influence, and the future of gaming relies on the direction this development takes, for the better or worse. Ideally all games will start out free, replacing traditional demos, but there will be an option to buy the game outright or play it with microtransactions. Alternatively, hardcore games will be ported to ARM as we are starting to see over the years, with Crapple and Microshit making a huge push with ISA translation. Pros >devs essentially have more creative freedom >low budget and barrier of entry, means a return to the PS2 era of development >shift to developing for multiple resolutions which helps with preservation as upscaling and temporal aliasing become more popular; something I've seen that is interesting is that some mobile games are designed at a 1:1 ratio so they can adapt to any screen >smaller gaymen devices are kewl

>What is this? This is exactly how it sounds: A game is chosen each month (which will be relatively or totally obscure on purpose) with hopes of bringing new avenues of playing potential to anons with narrow video game perspectives. The goal isn't necessarily to pick bad games, but obscure ones nobody, or as few people as possible, have played. You can play the game and then use that fact as bragging rights to others! You can use it to broaden your backlog horizons! or you can forget about it. It's up to you. THIS MONTH: Pseudoregalia (PC) >Where do I get this? https://multiup.org/561d1ade2b2085ad61059aae41a0fd3a GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE GotMs: Poll for December 2024: December's Long Haul! https://poal.me/7yo83j This month we'll celebrate those titles that take absurdly long to beat, let alone 100%, or that take place over the span of an extremely long time, be it years, decades or even eras. Pick any game, as long as it meets the criteria, it can make it to next month's thread! If you do not like any of the games in the poll, you can either add a new entry manually, or reply to the OP with a different suggestion. Don't come crying to me if you don't like the game, blame democracy. If you DO suggest a game though, please, report all relevant information on the game (magnet/dl link, interesting mods, guides, tutorials on tech, speedrun etc.). Feel free to suggest any and every game you can think of, bonus points if it's games that barely anyone has played or talks about in the [Current Year] or that fit the month thematically. However, try and follow these rules:

Hey, did you know Bobbypills of Peepoodo fame put out an animated series for Dead Cells? Me neither, but here're the encodes of the first half of the series. >where other half Working on those when the time comes. On another note, have you a moment for the word and gospel of our savior SVT-AV1-PSY? https://github.com/gianni-rosato/aviator (Linux only) https://github.com/Nj0be/HandBrake-SVT-AV1-PSY (All desktop OSes) https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip (Wangblows) >why use this Maximum bitrate efficiency in compression, mah boi. Set speed to 4, CRF to 56, Opus bitrate to 16k, QP compress to 3, and variance octile to 8/8ths and you're off to the races, now faster than ever. Higher resolutions, longer runtimes, the works. With enough ingenuity entire shows and movies can be uploaded here. If you want to stick with VP9 and are on Linux I heartily recommend https://codeberg.org/deterenkelt/Nadeshiko/ as your one-stop shop to eliminate any encoding headaches.

How much are you looking forward to buying this?
