Endorph posted:Also, Super Robot Wars is an extremely good series because unlike most video game crossovers where its like 'oh no, we have all been teleported to this place...' the conceit of the super robot wars series is that all the series take place in the same world and their plots are happening simultaneously and influence each other. So you get twenty mecha anime plots happening at once and the writing gets exactly as ridiculous as it sounds, but they usually do a pretty good job stringing it all together into a coherent and satisfying experience with some cool thematic beats. its way more interesting than the alternative because it actually lets them play with the concepts and themes of the shows they're working with and make some pretty major plot changes rather than just the characters being tossed into a void to talk at each other. Another thing is that you do not need to know any of the series going in. I mean, basic knowledge helps, but the plots usually ease you into the respective series, and the games usually come with a big encyclopedia that goes over the major plot beats of the shows anyway. And yes, SRW at its best can make you reevaluate shows or characters that you thought you did not like. Take Van from Gun X Sword. I went from "This guy is basically edgelord Vash the Stampede from Trigun" to "This guy is basically John F Kennedy from Clone High", and it actually makes me want to give the show a fair shake one of these days. EDIT: If you are like me and half expected this to be too good to be true and was waiting for the other shoe to drop, Bandai Namco US themselves just verified :ItsHappening: https://twitter.com/BandaiNamcoUS/status/1415310563035471876?s=20 Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Jul 14, 2021 |

goferchan posted:This honestly looks pretty cool lol. I love the detailed yet cartoony mega-tanks; it's got a Metal Slug feel to it. Is the game basically just turn based RPG battles interspersed with social RPG "walk around your base building relationships with people" stuff? Turn based rpg battles with some management in-between. Besides the social stuff you also upgrade the tank, fish for resources, prepare meals, tend to the farm inside the tank, let the kids explore around, etc... It all upgrades the kids and the tank but you only have so many action points between fights, have to decide what gets done. The channel I linked has trailer videos on all the gameplay systems.

Company of Heroes 3 feels very much like Company of Heroes. Never liked it personally but I know many people do, reminds me too much of WW2 Starcraft.

Mordja posted:Peep this, bozos: Highfleet is out in two weeks. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1434950/HighFleet/ Had my eye on this one after seeing someone play a bit on youtube. Definitely picking it up. Haha yep we were talking about how this happened to me yesterday. If anyone is curious, I was able to keep playing the game thankfully, so far it was only that infamous cutscene which introduces the bug girls that caused the problem. Although my issues was WAY worse than the example in this video, it was literally hardly moving at all. Funny to think that maybe having the cracked version is what allowed me to get through it at all, lol I also didn't know that the Denuvo version of DMC5 had approximately 93% of the performance of the Denuvo-less version.

Tactics RPG (think Fire Emblem or Advance Wars) with giant mechs and ludicrously over-animated attack sequences. I guess they're banking on the people who are interested being those who already know about the series at this stage, so they're mostly just showing off which robots are going to be in the game.

That was with them running the game at like 640x480 to force a CPU bottleneck, in practice there wasn't really any difference once you loaded up the GPU Denuvo is a big YMMV because the performance hit depends on how it's implemented in the game, RE8 is the worst implementation we've seen in a long time The least they can do is patch it out now that it's been cracked anyway

I'm a few hours into Yakuza 3 (supposedly the "bad one") and I'm actually quite enjoying it so far. Kiryu just chilling and giving life lessons to orphans feels like a nice coda to Yaks 0-2. What has me a bit on edge, however, is that Yakky 3 opens with: Can someone just spoil for me what events/characters this could refer to (if anything)? I'm sort of dreading what's in this game that even a Japanese developer would go "oh drat this is regressive". Is there a lovely sidestory I should avoid?

I'm not sure it refers to anything in particular, it's more of a blanket disclaimer alongside the usual "the events depicted do not depict any real persons or events" kind of thing. Given that it's a game about thugs and criminals, there's going to be nasty poo poo in there about people being victimized for reasons normal people wouldn't consider fair (neither today nor in 2009, really). I think there was one controversial side story in 3, but that was removed in the remaster IIRC? Overall the Yakuza games have never really portrayed drugs, racism, sexism etc. as good so much as a thing that happens, especially when criminal lowlifes are involved.

Lol overall and I'm not discounting what they're saying here but I love how like 75% of this video is side-by-side comparisons showing how much worse the uncracked version runs, with the cracked version running at 117fps and the uncracked version stuttering constantly between 115 and 117fps. I lost it and had to stop watching after the clip at 3:55. It's a full 20 seconds of... the two versions running identically.

Or State of Decay 2 if you want to trade story and combat for more survival type stuff Dying light was so, so good. I enjoyed the poo poo out of it. I played it over a really long time and kept on coming back to it. I eventually finished the main campaign and moved onto the DLC 'The Following' and am about 3/4 of the way through that too. If you're on the fence, PLEASE try this game. It's so good. (Note: dlc is supposed to be played after the main game, it's harder and expects you to have levelled a lot) Unlucky7 posted:oh god damnit I think I need to restart prey because I have no idea what I was doing gently caress It's your first playthrough.

The stutter is what they are talking about every time they are comparing the cracked and untracked versions. FPS doesn’t take a huge hit most of the time, but if you watch the frametimes there’s usually a huge jump for a short period. In-game that’s going to be very noticeable.

I'm not disagreeing with their analysis of RE8's performance on the cracked and uncracked versions, I am chuckling at the poorly edited video that rarely highlights what they're talking about, which is funny to me because it makes their use of a video instead of a written medium to explain this dumb. Okay I've made three posts about why I think that video was funny now, if you don't understand my viewpoint by now there's no point in me continuing because it was just a "lol [explanation of why I lol'd]"

Were you watching with the sound off? When they show footage of the versions performing identically, they’re talking about how the majority of the time it performs fine. In fact the transition quote isquote:The cracked version of the game behaves identically to the official drmed version for much of the experience, but unfortunately when the problems start they are difficult to ignore.

Weird question (maybe an FPS thread would be the right place to ask, if we have one?) I watching youtubers play through very difficult Doom mods. And there's a weird rhythm to their movement (not circle strafing, but, for example, circling a big room in a jerky and stuttery fashion) that's presumably meant to throw off monster aim. Is there a name \ tutorial for that?
