ITT: good games that are unfortunately impossible to discuss on /v/

What's wrong with it? I've had this game on my wishlist forever.

>>713192318 (OP)
Shantae

And that's all I can think of right now.

Either of the Paper Mario games. Some faggot Sticker Star apologist always ruins it.

I don't play MMOslop so I never touch these threads, why do these threads get ruined?

>>713192874
I remember a few threads after the new GBA game leaked being extremely comfy and actually about the games. Holy shit it was refreshing to actually have some discussion that isnt fatfag pooptoot spam and secondaries screaming "NO ONE EVER PLAYED THOSE"

>>713192824
>What's wrong with it?
nothing "wrong" with it but /v/ is allergic to LGBT characters

>>713192318 (OP)
Is the game good or just very homosexual?

>deltarune
>JRPG'S made after 1997
>Any racing games
>Anything scrimblo like (i.e mascot platformers)
Devs need to add exposed feet loli's into all games so we're allowed to talk about them on /v/, apparently.

Can't talk about the Lisa games either despite /v/ slooorping them up as ludo when the game dropped.

Pokemon XD

>>713192318 (OP)
Any Klonoa game
>>713197717
Really? That's too bad. What happens when you try to discuss them?
>>713197858
xD

>>713197858
I see what you did there.

>>713197915
You get called a fag and it gets jannied for a new ai porn thread. Anons take offense at how attracted they feel towards the hilarious gay men in the game (you know, the gay guys that make gay men look like disfunctional psychotic violent retards, something based 4chan should love) and so they label the game as homosexual despite the games story being about women disappearing and the remaining men becoming psychotic freaks when they're forced to be gay LOL

>>713197717
I wanted to stop talking about that game ever since Joyful sucked, anyway. The Painful is good and the only canon Lisa game.

>>713198470
Tfw troons stole the term troonies from REAL troonies fans.

>>713192318 (OP)
The only reason it's impossible to talk about is because nobody fucking played it here. Every time I bring it up it gets ignored. I liked it a lot, lgbtbbq stuff be damned.
Odile is my favorite. A smart person written like a smart person.

>>713192318 (OP)
started this one recently because a friend recommended it. dialogue’s a bit cringe at times but its acceptable. i love mirabelle. her low hp portrait is very cute. can i date her ingame

>>713192318 (OP)
AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

FAGGOT

No, Siffren wants to fuck the rock.

>>713192318 (OP)
World Of horror. You have to deal with people complaining about how abandoned and incomplete the game is even when it has a shitload of contents and it has mods in mind too and a local schizo that was kicked out of the discord for dev backsitting. I know because I pointed it out and in 10 minutes started to go full schizo and started to post about Lego City.

Dark Souls, because god forbid you don't like the whole serie and don't have an indomitable hate for a certain entry even though all the games are kind of samey. The only thing I hate is Lost Izalith because holy shit that is the worst area ever in all games I played.

>>713192824
>What's wrong with it?
nothing, but one of the main cast is textually trans and one (two?) others are textually nonbinary so you don't need me to finish this sentence
>>713197523
it's quite good, the writing is really well done
every little choice you make is recorded somewhere and repeat viewings of the scene can change based on how many times you've seen it before, veering into wildly different directions
if any of the writing puts you off it will probably be spoken dialogue
>>713198997
>can i date her ingame
oh you poor bastard

>>713198703
>Odile is my favorite
based

we had nice threads about it a year ago
one of the /v/ the musical fags even uploaded the ost when i kindly asked

>>713193109
This. Game had finished development for like 2 years until the developer trooned out and added the new part. Not saying it's bad gameplay wise either, the challenge was fun and I didn't even know about the transformer stuff until after I completed it all, but just bevause the dev tron'd out doesn't make the previous parts of the game any less about just dealin with anxiety, just means that the dev couldn't deal with his anxiety for 2 years so tried to become a woman in a vain attempt to fix his mental state. Many such cases.

>>713192318 (OP)
I played it, my cousin's a bit that way and it's her favourite game so I played through it while I was visiting. Easily the most tumblr thing I've ever touched, and there are a few things I'm just not onboard with, but on the whole it was a very cool game and I'd encourage anyone interested to give it a try and overlook its obvious superficial issues.

>>713192318 (OP)
I'll give it credit where it's due, it does two things right: ludonarrative (unironic) gameplay and being a fag space where fags can be fags and have it make sense in their universe.
>>713192824
Can get repetitive and forces you to live with your mistakes. The worst part is fighting the guys needed to move up each floor over and over again. Worst offender is needing to find that one random article on a wall down a failed route
>>713198703
Odile is a gem
>>713200517
You know what? It would have been a cultural touchstone if it came out around Undertale. Very much steeped in the '10's Tumblrcore, would have made great waves

>allergic to LGBT
allergic is an apt term: a normal reaction to an abnormal, foreign bodies

>>713199835
Be quiet, the adults are talking.

>>713202146
i understand that you must feel proud of that reply but you do know that an allergy is the opposite, an abnormal reaction to something harmless, right?

>>713192318 (OP)
Have played it, got to the third or fourth area before unlocking the King fight, somehow the game pretends I didn't trigger the flag that required me to go back to the classrooms for the one password room. So that kind of killed my drive.

>>713196983
>/v/ doesn’t like deranged tranny shit in their games
That’s everyone, not just /v/.

>>713204010
It's okay anon, I'm sure it's very normal to be considered about other people's dicks or lack of them all the time.

>>713192318 (OP)
Most Final Fantasy games

>>713204301

>>713192318 (OP)
Every time I try to talk about SHRIFT in a monster girl thread there’s this one guy screeching about how I’m a samefag posting in every thread about wanting to kill the girls.
Another game would probably be Terraria, always constant bitching about "feature bloat" and when it’s not that it’s Calamity vs Thorium vs Base game.
Or maybe CoC1/2 but that one is entirely on the devs instead of /v/.
Degrees of Lewdity I guess?
FNAF because it always gets hijacked by pornfags.
PM threads because they got a few dedicated schizos trying to tear it down with the same constant bait.
So on so forth.

>>713205153
>FNAF because it always gets hijacked by pornfags.
if it even picks up any discussion at all
there was a fnaf thread on /v/ earlier that died with like 5 replies

>>713204497
>post wojak on the 2025
/qa/ out.

>>713194436
I hope it will happen again with the general release of the game.

>>713201570
Why what wrong with it?

>>713200412
You're part of the reason why this game can't be discussed btw

>>713193270
Retarded discussion befits the game tbhq
Even devs well full retard

I am opposed to transgender philosophy on the basis that it's openly bad for the people who stake their mental health on it. I am willing to change my mind if it can be sufficiently explained to me how GID individuals differ from other image disorder sufferers such that the ideal treatment for them is fundamentally different. I don't support cruelty towards, or harassment of such individuals. I just can't shake the feeling that supporting this stuff is like giving an anorexic liposuction or Ozempic to chase their maladaptive target instead of addressing the underlying problems that create the unhealthy mindset in the first place. That's all there is to it. I don't want people to suffer.

>>713197630
This but unironically

I love this game, but i didnt beat it, got stuck on a part where you need to explore belle's room without her seeing and honestly i couldnt for the life of me to figure out how, and at that point i was very exhausted of constant repeats so i refused to check the answer and just dropped the game, over all its a must play game because of all the time fuckery thats happening

>>713199576
>>713199780
>>713199859
every time. fuck my life…

>>713192318 (OP)
I got too annoyed with the possibility of missing dialogue while fastforwarding so I dropped it. Even if that's the point of the MC's experience, it's annoying as fuck to be allowed to skip content at the cost of playing properly.

>>713203602
>harmless

>>713209052
>the evidence isn't good enough even though there's dozens of studies because they don't do double-blind trials (which would be impossible as well as unethical)
very convenient

>>713206276
/qa/ won btw

>>713211506
the fast forwarding stops when you encounter a line of dialogue you haven't seen before. just don't mash continue like an adhd zoomer

>>713201395
well she talks a lot so get used to her

>>713201395
fuck you dont talk about my wife that way

>>713192318 (OP)
It's a dialogue heavy game and a lot of the dialogue is shit. The kid is so fucking obnoxious I don't know why he's there when 2 of the other characters are super childlike as well.

>>713212334
Unless they changed it in a later patch, the game said you can still miss shit, which is annoying as fuck.It's only critical dialogue that stops you.

>>713211845
I never said that. The evidence isn't good enough because the strength of evidence in these studies never goes up, and regardless of how supportive their communities are, or how strong the local laws are in protecting them, mental health outcomes are relatively similar for all transgender individuals. They claim they're happier, but they make just as many complaints of rough mental health days as they ever have, regardless of environment.

They organize into communities with maladaptive internal jargon, and behave much like communities of eating disorder sufferers, egging each other on.

I'm actually paying attention to what's going on, not just the headlines or the jargon. People are suffering more because of this, not less. I want it to stop. Not because it makes me uncomfortable, but because I don't like seeing people chase a delusion and treat it like an aspiration. I don't want people to suffer.

>>713211506
That drove me nuts too, not gonna lie. The whole “MC is disoriented, so YOU have to be disoriented” mechanic is clever in theory, but in practice it just feels like the game punishes you for engaging with it efficiently. I get that they want to sell the whole time-distortion angle, but there’s gotta be a better way than hiding potentially important dialogue behind a system that’s basically telling you "lol you shouldn’t have gone fast." Makes me hesitant to replay it too, since I feel like I’ll never see the full picture unless I tiptoe through every scene.

>>713198703
>Odile is my favorite. A smart person written like a smart person.
She's a very well-rounded character. It surprised me a lot considering the rest of the main cast are varying degrees of quirkchungus

>>713192318 (OP)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R series

>>713212619
It only skips critical dialogue and after you've seen the item or conversation once. Your interactions with the main cast or npc are critical. Interacting with the same object multiple times isn't. You would miss flavor text and quips at most for fast forwarding and looking at your phone

>>713213591
Which is still simply too annoying for me. I understand the intent, but it's just poorly done.

any pre 5th gen MH game
it's sad how discussions of the series have mirrored the current quality of the games themselves

>>713211845
What kind of delusion is that? Trannies have an absurd suicide rate.

>>713192318 (OP)
Of the Devil

>>713214967

Swery games in general are impossible to discuss on /v/

>>713192318 (OP)
I still need to play that one OP, missed a couple sales but maybe I'll grab it on the next one.

>>713215476
By default his games are very niche but the subject matter of this one makes it impossible to talk here, even if by the standards of most of his other games, it actually sold pretty well

>>713214950
What is that rate? I know the number that gets touted but that's from a questionable study trying to get data about attempts, not successes.

>>713215710
>What is that rate?
41 ish?
>muh success
Does it even matter? Like, they tried to kill themselves, that is the most obvious sign of depression/mental illness in the world, that is like saying I just tried to kill someone.

>>713215498
I got so bored of this game, to be honest. Good atmosphere, but it's so mindless.

>>713215814
I do think it matters, yeah. Just like I think male suicide rates are more important to focus on than female suicide rates, because men are actually succeeding more often.

>>713215143
It certainly was. I really like the world building. I can't wait for the next chapter

>>713192318 (OP)
It really wished we got to learn more about the MC's home country, or the back story of the big bad.

>>713215916
No, stop being stupid. It isn't the action, but what causes that action to matter. The fact that such an absurd number of them try to kill themselves is already very concerning.

>>713216313
Nah, we should just focus on men. That will naturally have a lot of tranny crossover anyway, since the ones dressing as women are the bigger problem.

>>713206276

>>713192318 (OP)
It really sucks because I loved the game but invariably every thread is guaranteed to devolve into exactly what this thread turned into. I came into it expecting it to be mediocre and tumblr but getting annoyed by the tumblr parts actually made the overall experience better given how equally annoyed siffrin gets

kys LGBT faggots

>>713192318 (OP)
If you like this game please go back to Discord. I wish you well, just please stay away from me

>>713193109
I played this for just over two hours and completed chapter 3 & the retro minigame and I just thought it was mediocre. To be honest though I think knowing the dev trooned out and retroactively made his character trans rubbed me the wrong way and made me enjoy it less. I refunded it.
I don't give a fuck if you want to chop your dick off but changing a character into a self insert AND changing your legal name to match (Madeline) disgusts me. Do I give it another chance or no? Genuinely asking.

>>713193109
thank you anon
give me a kiss

Stardew Valley

>>713219024
I mean, if it didn't grab you, it didn't grab you. It's not a platformer for everyone. I thought it was very fun, though. Couldn't give less of a shit about the tranny stuff, especially because the game was always obviously woke from the get go.

>>713219139
I'm just mad I can't cuck Pierre and Demetrius

>>713212781
redpilled
it doesnt matter how many studies back it up, it doesnt even matter if it hypothetically was scientifically objectively real
if almost everyone buying into it is visibly less healthy, more insecure, more troubled, more spineless, etc then theres something blatantly wrong with whatever is being tried to achieve
gigahomo men than simply like acting/fantasizing as women are infinitely healthier and saner on average than the actual trannies who buy into it as reality and do 'treatments'

>>713201570
i dont think that is true

>>713219191
Yeah but my point is I'm probably reading way too much into the troony shit. I might give it another try if it goes cheap. I try to separate the creator from their creations and found myself struggling this time.

>>713192318 (OP)

Night in the Woods

>>713219191
The only thing that could have been described as "woke" in the game was it having a black character, which is completely fine considering it's one of the times when the black character is treated like a real person and not some african kangs power fantasy. The game is very clearly about someone dealing with mental illness, it only became woke when the dev turned the main character into his tranny self insert and the broad scope of what madelines journey represented was churned down into troonpaste

>>713219139
same shit is probably going to happen to DK bananza and pragmata threads

>>713217061

>>713220371
i wouldnt worry about the dk threads, looking at the designs and all

>>713198348
>good games

>>713196983
I'm fine with LGB. My issues are mainly with those troon supremacists. I know even they have good apples among them.

>>713194107
Mainly due to bitter ARK vets who're pissed their game ACK!'d itself to death with Snail's stupid decisions. They see another's success and they get really butthurt about it

>>713199859
>nothing, but one of the main cast is textually trans and one (two?) others are textually nonbinary so you don't need me to finish this sentence
How in-your-face is it? I love time loop stories and as long as I don't have to sit through gender reveal party cutscene I'll give it a shot.

>>713193109
Strawberry Jam is really great btw.
Obviously a lot of variance since the levels are made by different people, but when you find a good one that pushes you to the edge of your skill, it's a real experience.
(I worry for the mental health of anyone who touches Master or Grandmaster though)

>>713220371
nta but it's already happening someone is just spamming nude child pauline with a nonsense op

>>713193907
I thought that was Grim from Billy and Mandy in the thumbnail.

>>713198703
>Odile is my favorite
The correct decision. Her existence makes it clear the dev isn't completely deranged.

>>713224380
>How in-your-face is it?
NTA, but very. I'm a huge fan of time loop stuff myself, but dropped it the moment it was trying to teach me about pronouns usage.

>>713227024

>>713219024
I loved Celeste. I find the experience mostly relaxing with the beautiful music and visuals. It was very hard but even I could beat the normal levels.
It had nothing to do with trannies back when I played it, other than having a tranny composer (who's very talented, wish is the only thing I care about). It didn't have the extra content just the base levels.
The main dev made a clown out of himself and it weirds me out too. His decision to make the game a self insert retroactively, make the character a tranny, and change his name is unironically disrespectful to the game. The main idea of the game was simple and generic enough so everyone could sympathize with it, and it wasn't offensive at all. They threw that out of the window.
Anyway just pirate it and play the original levels of you enjoy it.

>>713224380
It's upfront about it from fairly early. I'll give it some credit for having in-universe reasons for why it's so common though. I can also tolerate it more when it isn't trying to sneak into what seemed to be an otherwise normal game.

So what I'm getting from this thread:
1: No vidya with transgender characters or heavy focus on homosexuality
2: No vidya with loli characters
3: No DEI propaganda style black dindu or girlboss protagonist games
also I'll add on
4: No vidya that one of the jannies (they do it for free!) has a personal vendetta against


anything I missed?

>>713192318 (OP)
Pokemon XD is a great game.

>>713227024

You forgot the fifth rule, ignore all that nonsense and talk about what you want anyway.
Well unless a janny hates it.

>>713198348

well that basically explains all of this >>713227509 that I posted, goddamn it
honestly could even care less that he trooned out, but like everyone else is saying, that basically ruining the narrative of the game and turning it into a kinda self-insert thing is pretty disappointing.

>>713227674
He basically said to all the players
>what you thought of while playing this game is invalid, let me tell you what the game is really about, guess what is about ME, look at me, talk about me, give me more attention
A really distasteful move.

>/v/ pretending that Madeline being trans is what "ruined the story" for them when /v/ had been shitting on the game's story ever since its release
lol

>>713192318 (OP)
LGBT shit aside, the whole gameplay mechanic around looping gets old quickly. Even if it's "the point" and despite what they added to skip shit, it was tiresome. Grind is grind pointless or not. JRPG combat was fine, but becomes almost as much of a chore ("the point"?). Story and writing was okay at best with lots of detail.
Disappointed they didn't try to expand on the lore with the lost country, for a while I thought that background with the looping might be more than the obvious "oh no it's actually a mental breakdown" but oh well..

>>713227316
Let me add
5) No vidya where a schizo decides he doesn't like it

The first 3 points guarantee that there will be multiple schizos ruining a thread, but really, all it takes is one. Jannies don't do shit.

>>713227931
