I promise next month I will remember to unsticky the old chat thread and sticky the new one on the first day!! Also I am excited for my 2019 gaming year. I closed off 2018 by starting Yakuza Kiwami on boxing day and completing it New Years Eve  This leaves me free to do my planned 'Year in Gaming'. Instead I am playing one game a week, each week, for the whole year! I am doing a write up each sunday evening (I made a thread for it) and have the puntastic name of Action 52. They are all games I have not played and should have but never got round to, so look out for some surprising titles. I am also giving away title certs each week to the first poster who guesses what the week after game is going to be so we can all have fun.This year is going to be interesting!

but I also spend way too much time mindlessly browsing the internet that would arguably be more productive if I put it towards games.

mutata posted:That's one of my general goals this year, actually. If I'm not gonna work on projects some nights in favor of relaxing, I might as well actively choose to do so via games instead of YouTube or getting stuck in an internet loop. Yeah I have StayFocused on my laptop and set it to limit my forums time to an hour a day, but when that runs out I have a hard time not just moving to phone browsing lol. I need something to limit my phoneposting time, but only in the evening when I'm not at work.

Barudak posted:I would like to thank Phantasy Star 1 for being just under my total flight length long. This is impressive, do you have hardcopies of the dungeon maps or something? I guess my gaming goal for 2019 is to start and finish the copy of Shadowrun: Dragonfall I bought several years ago and have never played. Also if anyone cares, GOTY 2018 for me would have to be Adventures of Square.

Suppose my gaming goal is to actually beat an RPG in Japanese, I've gotten some ways in with a bunch but it's been slow enough that I've always fallen off before reaching an actual ending.

That was mine but turns out spending 25 minutes per sentence wasnt super productive. Id recommend something old and relatively linear so there isnt mountains of dialog and a mistranslation on your part wont have you hopelessly lost

I feel like this is probably harder when you know some Japanese. I know absolutely none and have beaten SRW W at least 17 times. I only recently read the wonderful LP of it to see what I missed.

I've done that a couple times before, but I did it by ignoring the text at all and just reading the dialog afterwords from a translated FAQ, or just read a summary or whatever. I've completely given up on learning new languages.

Internet Kraken posted:I hate that nowadays when I look at a game like Darkest Dungeon my first thought is "I don't have the 50+ hours to sink into a really meaty hard campaign" I have about 40 hours into Darkest Dungeon. I'm not even slightly close to beating the game. Play Darkest Dungeon anyway. Honestly that is a rare game where I don't ever feel compelled to actually finish it completely (similar to Isaac), because the core gameplay is just so good that it's fun enough just doing a few dungeons and calling it a day. If you never beat it well... it's a lovecraft inspired game so I'm sure the game wouldn't have ended happily anyway

DD is a great short session game, but it's also extremely filler heavy and doesn't come close to justifying the length of a campaign.

Does Giant Bomb not do articles anymore? I was going to read their end of the year stuff, but it looks like it's just a dump of like 200 hours of video.

Hey VideoGames, I'm excited for your thread. Imo though, you should put a link here so more people can find it and guess what game that potted plant is from.

I've completely given up on learning new languages. I'm not much of a dedicated student either, but I realized that I liked studying the language so I slowly chipped away at it and well, at some point you've simply dug down deep enough that turning back isn't really an option anymore. At this stage I kinda prefer Japanese to English anyway, a statement I can make without hiding under several layers of irony since I'm not a native speaker of either language. Mostly I'm just bad at finishing RPGs. oddium posted:the new pokemons can be played in japanese but there’s no kanji Having to read no-kanji Japanese is not a fate I wish on anyone.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3878621 This will be the thread I inhabit for the next year I am not going to sticky it because that seems a bit self aggrandising, but I will be a constant in there every sunday with a write up, a reveal of a game and a teaser of the next. Aside from Vanquish (in order to give a few clues) there will be roughly 24 PC games and 27 PS4 games. It is still a little fluid, but should help with guessing!

Thinking about DD gave me an idea for a question: What long games do y'all think justify their length? The podcast Watch Out for Fireballs just did a 4 part show on Baldurs Gate 2, which I think does. The other IE games do a decent job as well, and maybe Pillars 2. Also, at least for the main game, DQXI. The post game was a bit sloggy and the bosses there kinda blended together since they were kind of pushing up against the limit of what they could do to make them challenging.

You could just start making up glitches about Fallout 76 and they would all sound plausible enough.

Glitches related to time, in-game clocks and the like remind me that every Animal Crossing has a set date where the in-game clock just stops when it comes to dates and the day never flips over to the one it's currently on. It just sounds freaky even if it probably doesn't convey that in-game.

Help Im Alive posted:What'd the ninja guy do differently to everyone else that made him the ultimate streamer I watch Twitch streams all the time and I didn't even hear about Ninja until the middle of last year when he said he doesn't like women gamers. Playing with them hurts his fragile masculinity or something. His audience is almost entirely teenage boys and he likes saying the n-word, so I've steered cleared of the dude and stick to my less than 150 viewer streams.

He also said that one-on-one streaming was an "intimate experience" when every stream I've seen of him is him in his room by himself screaming "what the gently caress"

Poops Mcgoots posted:Ninja supposedly made $10 million in 2018 (before taxes presumably), so if he's smart (and he probably won't be) he's set even if he loses basically all his subs today. There’s a lot of hate for him in this thread, but I watch his stream a couple of times a week. He’s very smart, and he’s trying to do this so he and his family are set for life. He also works his butt off, and his general attitude is solid. He’s family friendly, and the amount of hate he gets is ridiculous. Even the whole won’t play with women thing was completely blown out of proportion. What’s good games (one of the better video game podcast out there, hosted by women) had a good break down about the issue earlier in the year and actually came out defending him.
