it would be hard for me to choose only one favorite video game character for this; i've been playing games for most of my life, so there are lots of video game stories and characters that have had a personal impact on me, but Sonic and Shadow were my childhood heroes, so if i had to choose one, then i guess those two

Master Chief. He's got a level head, he never gives up, and he always finishes the fight. >>646 Angel Beats is pretty good, I remember it having an impact on me over a decade ago. It's funny you mention it now, I just started re-watching it for old times sake.

this is me. i'll conceal my identity as best as i can but at the same time i wanted to stylize this a bit to not give it a lazy look so i added a thing.

>>628 that's a nice alice. also, a fellow sonic enjoyer!

this community so small that these charts probably will deanonymize anyone who posts them lole

>>629 Who is your favourite Alice?

>>631 there are too many to choose only one, but i really like the original.

>>608 well, you might want to define "obscure", because there are people who think xenoblade, mother, and shin megami tensei are ""obscure"" while there are games on steam that have like 5 downloads and jp-only games that are only on the ps vita that only 10 people have played to answer the question seriously the Mary Skelter series is really cool, but not a lot of people really talk about it, at best you'll see it get mentioned in passing in dungeon-crawling threads on 4/v/... it's a series of first person dungeon crawlers with turn-based combat (think classic SMT or Etrian Odyssey), but made by the Hyperdimension Neptunia developers, so there's a huge emphasis on the (majority) female cast, who're all based on different fairytales. in battles, you have to manages the girls' mental state, represented by a bloodstain meter by their health bar; the darker the blood color, the more likely they'll go insane during battle when the gauge fills up, at which point you no longer have control over their actions for the remainder of that battle unless certain requirements are met. you can restore their sanity by sacrificing some of the protagonist's blood, but if the protagonist runs out of blood, he's out for the rest of the battle as well with no way to bring him back. this resource management makes boss fights really hectic and fun. Mary Skelter 2 is especially really good imo; the gameplay balance is at its best in that one (the two versions of the first game both have their own slight issues which make both games too punishing, and the third game has a steep difficulty curve in the beginning imo) and it has one of my favorite stories in a game also, the games' soundtracks are really good. https://youtu.be/kVkNByesJSY?feature=shared https://youtu.be/GzaMFTHalB4?feature=shared https://youtu.be/VB7BXyDih54?feature=shared i could make this post so much longer. Compile Heart's entire repertoire is underappreciated in general. if JRPGs are supposedly more appreciated now than they were in the 2000s or 2010s, i'm really not seeing it outside of a handful of series getting overinflated importance. i also really wanted to mention Go Hell Go and Tsurugihime, but neither of those are out yet, so i wasn't sure if that would be cheating.

>>564 kirby, no! take that off before somebody sees you and writes a twitlonger!

>>555 I don't have that, but do you want my physical copy of EoSD? I bought it a long time ago..

>>566 damn, anon. do you wanna sell it?

>>554 Pikmin 4, Rune Factory 5, Rivals of Aether, and My summer car

>>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

>>333 still baffles me how nintendo got 3d mario movement just right with this one, sunshine and odyssey feel like downgrades honestly

>>563 Odyssey's controls felt tighter for me

the new map looks huge for gta6

>>509 The trailer looks accurate to how bad modern america looks. Also GTA games are overrated trash.

>>515 I don't think GTA games are completely trash. I just think they're fun to mess around in but I don't really care for the stories and stuff like that

>>515 Hey, at least you get to kill the 'murican degeneracy.

>not a big fan of the franchise how anon? you can commit any desire, political or not? i personally love running people over on the beach >>514 truth, i cant wait what it has stored for us

>>513 mogeko castle is actually kind of nostalgic for me, it was one of the first rpgmaker games i got super into and i really liked the artstyle. probably wouldn't be able to play it these days, games that revolve around bad endings stress me out, and also i don't like rape. >I should keep playing it, but I can't stand dumb characters huh, yonaka never really struck me as dumb, but then again, i don't really remember mogeko castle that much. that might also be by design, you can tell the creator of mogeko castle has a very particular sense of humor. >Do you people in /v/ play RPG Maker Games? i used to be way more into rpgmaker games, i think i hit my peak with them in 2018, but i think i've outgrown a lot of them now, because a lot of the old ones i used to enjoy aren't any fun to me anymore... and every time i see a video essay on a new one, or someone tries to recommend me one, i always end up either not being interested in it (fear and hunger, for example, strikes me as babby's first ""dark""/horror game, and is also not fun at all) or i give it a try and it's not fun (see: fear and hunger, but also i tried out Black Souls because someone said it was admittedly vaguely similar to another game series i liked, and...it's dark souls but with the shitty rpgmaker active time battle system, so it's doubly not fun, though admittedly someone who's more into dark souls might get more out of that one. i'm starting to hate how popular souls games became, but that's another subject...) i still do hold a reverence for yume nikki, though, and probably always will. that might be one of my favorite games ever, or at least it has one of my favorite atmospheres of any game.

There was one most memorable RPG Maker game that I played back in 2012. It was called ニコニコRPG. I should play it again once I understand more Japanese Language.
