>>1478 i want to get into map games but my brain is small. i have Stellaris and HOI4 on Steam but haven't put much time into either of them. i'm sure i'd learn them fine if i just played but it seems kinda daunting.

>>1480 HOI4 gets a lot more fun with mods as the base game is kind of small

Bullying the smaller African states as Sokoto is pretty fun

>>1478 i still play victoria 2, does vic 3 get updates? i heard people were looking forward to eu5 more recently >>1480 check crusader kings 3 out hikarin it's the easiest and most fun >>1508 hoi4 has lots of mod drama too, i feel it's a separate community from other paradox games. >>1536 make sure you become the richest nation my hikarin!

>>1478 Hikarin play eu5 vic3 is obsolete now

i did it guys, i found oblivion.

Will you die now?

>>973 when one is taken by oblivion, it is not death, for death implies existence. death is a state of being. i will not be dead, rather it will be like i never existed at all. do not cry for me, sweet hikarin, for there will be nothing to cry over.

>>974 I will bear remembrance so one day your soul may be reborn again

Has anybody played the Oblivion remake? It seems cool but I'm not particularly interested in buying it, classic Bethesda jank has too much charm. Although I have seen the remake has its own jank too. also get necro'd lole

I'm an artist myself, but can't code or write. Where do you find likeminded people with the needed skills to start a doujin circle?

>>1733 I wish I knew lol, dicksword is like shouting into the void, it has to be on platforms tied to our real identities but I don't like those. Btw I am OP and I can do all of the programming a doujin team could ever need.

I am an artist but I need a writer or someone with a good sort of direction otherwise I'll just draw anything.

Not an artist myself but I'm a musician working on a fairly successful music & art project with a friend of mine (artist) and we've been looking to develop a rhythm game for the project if you're interested

Please share your progress if you guys do work on the videa game, seems very cool :D

>>1737 The only thing I remember from that game is making the killers rage quit with my buddy as Bill from the best game Left 4 Dead

>>1738 bill is based character you should play again

>>1739 Every time I play the game its with bots or people who hate fun. I dont think I want to play with that player base

>>1740 we should play all we all should play ok it Will be fun i promise heh

>>1309 >God I love VNs I know >based Japanese knower

>>1311 >based Japanese knower Thank you! I may still struggle with some parts but I prefer it this way. It's part of the process

>>732 Let me add some recommends: >Tsukihime >Fate Stay/Night >CROSS†CHANNEL >Dra†Koi >Fate/Extra for more NASU

No more gacha, no more Live2D, no more VTubers or anime adaptations, bring this back NOW.

>>732 >>>how many VN have you read? >"Like... 20? ish?" >mentions 30+ VNs You seem to know a lot about VNs. I don't see you mentioning Tsukihime or any other type-moon games, have you read any yet?

>>1417 How's the online? I'm pissed off Sony had switched paid games' online to become paywalled by PS Plus (they're not even handling P2P connections)

>>1715 no online i believe, but i haven't played since july

Kinda remarkable that it's so playable with only a few bugs, but I guess the emulator is being developed specifically for the game. A lot of mods available too.

>>1719 Keep it and let him get fired

well sometimes they fuck up in your favor, often they dont. sell it

They bill personnel for those losses. Company loses nothing. You should return it.

>>1704 > it's fair to say that most games released since like 1980 aren't playable anymore, if you aren't willing to spend a lot of money and effort on hardware Why? Ain't there at least few emulators for pretty much every retroplatform?

>>1694 Consider an example: Xenoblade Chronicle X re-release happened only because emulating its Wii version gradually created a demand as people had been getting informed of XCX as a cool thing that's a bit unfinished and is a Wii exclusive. Same for countless other games that got out of stock or got delisted with only maybe scalpers reselling them at unfair prices. Especially for platforms that got deprecated and, again, monopolized as a product to be sold by scalpers. Piracy is archivation. Piracy is also free PR for a product, and signals for a market there's demand with the price seen to be a bit too much. That's why you shouldn't pirate kusoge and completely ignore any crappy or corpodemon software. I'm tired of dealing with any malware personally, so I usually just stuck to supporting devs I like or using free software. I was never in the mood to neurotically manage my internet reputation to get into private tracker circles.

>>1706 Wii U*

They are beneficial to me, that's all that matters.

>>1705 sorry, i probably worded it wrong lol. i was talking about playing games on original hardware specifically. yes, there are at least a few emulators for everything, which is exactly my point: emulating is much easier and less costly than playing on original hardware. the convenience is just undeniable, and in either case, no money will ever go to the developers, because they aren't releasing the games anymore.

>>571 S3&K's special stages are the most memorable for me, but they made me dizzy as a kid.

Of the true classic games, I'm not sure. Each of them obviously have their own hangups, but I think I'd probably give it to Sonic 1. It's got that 'first game in the series' weirdness concentrated pretty heavily in the Special Stages that have only been done since as homages instead ofna true evolution of the concept. If we count Mania as a sort of neo-Classic, then Mania takes it pretty easily. Well crafted, fun, many different ways to play it. It's a great idea that lends itself well to Sonic. If we're count fangames that emulate Classic, then my true personal favorite is Triple Trouble 16-Bit. Racing Fang to the Emerald, having to hit boosts, dodge his attacks, hit him back, all of it incredibly frantic and keeping you on your toes. The Fang races are so great that when I got the last Emerald I was disappointed that I couldn't keep doing them.

Mania if you count it. CD otherwise, especially in the Taxman port.

>>850 >I don't see why not Probably because it didn't come out during the classic era

>>1645 i might be crazy but i feel like the special stages are easier in the original than the taxman version
