the open beta for Under Night In-Birth II: [Sys:Celes] is in a few hours! i haven't really been following the pre-release for this, so a lot of the changes are gonna be totally new to me... the full game releases next febuary!

>>453 i played the beta for a few hours! so far it just kind of feels like more Under Night In-Birth, which is about as much as i wanted from a sequel lol my favorite characters are still fun to use my only gripe so far is the soundtrack, for some reason the composer opted to remix all of the older songs instead of using new compositions, so the quality of each remix varies wildly, with some remixes having new parts added that feel out of place (some songs seemingly just have a random guitar thrown in for no real reason, i always liked the soundtrack because it usually had more synth/electronic elements whimanded to the whole "nighttime" feeling of the game, so adding random guitar solos into older songs kind of ruins it). even with the remixes i like, in most cases, i would rather just listen to the old versions. i like the opening. https://youtu.be/vIw8aRAB36Y?si=fVkE_QK1lOZr34WH

i found out some of alicesoft's staff left and started their own studio one of their games is called Go Hell Go and it looks interesting https://youtu.be/F7-k_96tyd8?feature=shared https://youtu.be/F7-k_96tyd8?feature=shared

the winter 2023 indie games expo is live right now! ...i'm about 3 hours late. personally, i'm only watching for info about only one (maybe two) games, but there still might be some other interesting games here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyOmPElTSE0

>>505 the trailers for the two games i mentioned! not too much shown off that i didn't already know, but still cool. https://youtu.be/uNBeLv56uW4?feature=shared https://youtu.be/RYZ-jvCRJA4?feature=shared

>>487 All PC's are lolis!

>>500 i've only had my pc for about a year, so mine would be a toddler

>>493 This has to be turned into a /v/ banner

She's watching over us

>>503 She's watching you masturbate

>>33 only works if you have a retarded opponent

>>37 like me

>>30 There's a dicksword server dedicated to hisoutensoku and it's actually active. Invite code is "hisouten" if you are interested, OP >>28. Also, I'll be willing to play with you if you want.

>>489 >dicksword Funny filter.

>>489 There's another server for Hisoutensoku I'm in which seems pretty good, although I'm not very active in it. They provide resources for downloads, modding, and stuff. And documents explaining stuff. https://dicksword.gg/5Uw4N7T >Also, I'll be willing to play with you if you want. OP posted this a while ago, I wonder if he still goes on the site

>>291 Would you do it to hornet?

Wait.. you guys complete games?? My playing list is almost as big as my backlog

>>446 Not very often since I can get easily bored with a game after a while. The more challenging games are the ones I finish usually for the achievement My recent accomplishment is Celeste

>>446 i always try to beat one game before starting another. the trick is to avoid online/live service games (and also try to cut down on things like using the internet)

>>285 Imperishable night (Touhou 8), specifically because of stage 6A's final spell card. It took me way more attempts to clear that one spell card than all of stage 6B.

>>449 Fear and hunger. It is very comfy. Trust me

there's this game on the ps2 that looks really cute. it's called Poinie's Poin; it's japan-only, but has a full english localization with english voices and everything, which is really odd, but it reminds me a lot of a 90s cartoon. i wish it got released here or something. https://youtu.be/kj6fBzDVLmo?feature=shared there's also this skating game on the gamecube called Go Go Hypergrind published by atlus...but made in cooperation with spumco (the animation studio that made ren and stimpy) it only ever released in north america despite being developed in japan, so it's really expensive and hard to find now...which sucks, because once upon a time, it was dirt cheap, i could've bought it at one point i love the music in this game, though https://youtu.be/Z7PRgj1fURU?feature=shared >>449 i'll have to watch that giftpia video in full sometime, it looks really interesting, but skimming through it, i don't think i got a good idea of what the game is like... >>451 if i never have to see another person recommend this exact game, it'll still be too soon...

I like to dig around sites like to old YoYoGames Sandbox's archives or The Daily Click for small, unknown indie games. This one game I keep coming back to every odd month or so though, it's called Princess Fantasy Catventure. https://web.archive.org/web/20160330003622/http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/205669

Also hello admin from cudan

reading AIR right now, it's getting me quite a bit sad ;-;.

>>315 what route are you on in the game? are you doing a blind playthrough or are you using a guide?

I played Kanon and I teared up at Ayu's and Shiori's routes. I was brought to tears and the emotion is accelerated by the magnificent OST that plays during certain scenes. If you played the game, you'll know which ones I'm referring to. It's two specifically. Remnants of a Dream (Yume no Ato) and The Day When I Waited for the Wind (Kaze o matta hi) "I said miracles don't happen. But... I... was wrong... Yuuichi... Can... Can I... cry now...?"

>>439 I never played the novel, only watched the anime years ago. I do remember Shiori's part in the anime making me cry though.

>>299 I only play Touhou hard

Touhou is one of the games I have played the most in my life. If I am ever able to return, I would do more LNNNs.

I've played UFO on and off since 12 years old but never tried to move up past the hundred normal 1ccs I've racked up. Going to finally practice Lunatic because why not. Without resources because I like pain.

I managed to get Hard 1ccs in 19! Reimu's route is easy, Marisa's too. Sanae and Ran are a bit harder, but I'm currently stuck at Aunn. On the other hand, I managed to complete 18.5. I think it was a pretty neat little game.

>>394 Good job! I'm still meaning to play 19 soon when I get enough time

>>349 lol is this real?

>>336 The treasure hunting stages are arguably superior in 1 over 2. I haven't met anyone that likes 2's "one emerald shard at a time" approach. That's one advantage I can think of, even if it's not something I make a big deal about. Other people do, though, so I'm bringing it up. 2 definitely succeeds in its presentation and I think the motion capture cutscenes are better than 1's use of predetermined animations that sometimes jarringly cut into each other, making for an awkward display of the characters ocassionally spazzing out when transitioning to different animations.

>>438 interestingly, there's this one review where the reviewer guy actually prefers the radar in 2 https://youtu.be/5Ii63QA_lBQ?feature=shared&t=595 personally i don't really have a preference, i think both games are fine and i'm a dark age enjoyer so i'm not super picky when it comes to what is and isn't "broken" but if the other guy thought sa2 was too broken then he probably won't like any version of sa1

>>440 what the hell, it didn't start at the timestamp he starts talking about it at 9:56

>>337 I don't know... the controls made it hard for me when I was younger It just felt super slippery

it was Star Fox 2 until it was released, other than that, i haven't really cared for most of them. >Picrel is not technically a game but an expansion for Ultima VIII called "The Lost Vale" which was completed and ready to go but shelved due to poor sales of Ultima VIII. seems interesting, this lead me to watch a video about it. very unfortunate the developer's hard work was shelved.

i'm not a huge final fantasy person, but recently i've been looking at the older trailers for Versus 13, and i do really wish that it either released, or that Nomura will be able to realize his vision for it someday (it looks like he's trying to turn Kingdom Hearts into Versus 13, which i honestly kind of respect lol) this game's setting and atmosphere looked really unique, there still aren't a lot of JRPGs that have a contemporary/modern setting, let alone one that blends aspects of both modern and fantasy also it just looks cool https://youtu.be/b6At_bb1PNU?feature=shared

>>396 I haven't played much doom, but I tried jump.wad once: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Jumpwad It turns the game into a platformer I also played ChezQuest One thing I like about doom, is that, because it restricts camera movement into 1 dimension, you can play it entirely using a keyboard with both hands. no need for a mouse You can't do this with any shooter anymore starting with quake

>>397 A lot of people played Quake, Half-Life, and even Counter-Strike 1.6 wtf are you talking about?

>>398 *With only keyboard Sorry I'm sick rn and forgot to add that oh so important part

>>398 But playing those with keyboard only is kinda clunky In doom you can play it with keyboard almost as well as you do with mouse

>>400 True, although aiming becomes the REAL Hell lolz (also sorry for the late response I completely forgot about this thread )
