Mix of SMT and Team Ninja games. Edging the steam page in anticipation of nioh 3. Only game I will pre order this decade.

>>715955228
If you just started chaos I'd recommend on concentrating on a single mission and getting some anima crystals to unlock level 400 of that mission. It'll be pretty quick to get the better items but adjustment from base game to chaos can be annoying imo. Now that jobs get mastery points beyond job lvl 30 concentrate on direct stat improvements for relevant jobs. Eg strength for swordsman for damage and stamina for phys resistance. You can blacksmith stat effects on equipment as well. The real job builds start at rifts in bahamut difficulty though and it's all about affinities and learning what synergies with what

>>715950563

I'm surprised how many great franchises I somehow missed despite being into gaming all my life. Recently picked up ace combat which has been great. I always saw the cases in stores but played other ps2 games like timesplitters.
I also recently got into smt. The only one I played before was strange journey in 2013 or so on emulator. Going through them now I'm blown away by how great every single entry in mainline and spin offs is.

>>715955649

I do this but at some point just stopped buying games since they all get recurring sales anyway. I uninstalled everything except a specific game from my backlog that I wanted to play at that point and just play that. I think it's a common problem. Doesn't necessarily mean depression but could just be burnout. Games should be fun, not a chore. Just walk away from gaming for a bit

Only games I bought full price this year were MH Wilds, Expedition 33, Oblivion Remaster and THPS 3+4 Remake and i don't regret any of them. Even as bad and unfinished as Wilds was/is, I'd still say I got enough playtime and enjoyment out of it to justify the purchase. The only other games I plan to buy this year will be Metroid Prime 4 and Ghost of Yotei.

Anyway, currently making my way to 100% on THPS 3+4, but goddamn some of the Pro Goals feel like bullshit. My skills definitely aren't what they used to be in these games. I remember back as a kid, I had no problem ripping off combos of like 500,000 points. Now, I can barely get a combo off with 200,000 even with max stats. The balance for grinding and manuals seems way more unforgiving, but idk if that's the way the remake is or my skills have deteriorated.

Truthfully? Not until you put some consistent effort in + get lucky. Also depends on what you're missing in life now.

I would argue it was 2016 when everyone got hyper into politics and there are suddenly frothing crazies on both political sides everywhere. It makes regular conversations a minefield if the topic even slightly dips into politics because you have no idea how the other people in the room are going to react to what you even hint at.

>>715957687
Honestly the items you're looking at now will ge practically useless in a few chaos missions. Make levelling jobs your focus. You'll likely swap jobs a bunch so just have fun and level everything. As soon as you hit next difficulty pretty much all your current equipment will be useless and will not be worth level at smithy as it'll be too expensive

gaming sucks since 2016, DK bananza is not even that good and it's considered a masterpiece by 2025 standards

>>715957796
My advice is to start small. Uninstall everything but a single short game. Something like resi evil is a good starting point. Hell all the red alerts are super fun too. Anything that's short. Beating a single short game from your list will give you some steam to get on to the bigger stuff.

>>715957946
Other people's experiences aren't your own nor should they dictate the outcome of yours. That sort of mindset will just lead to you being single forever. If that's what you want then whatever. Relationships aren't easy long term and people have a habit of being retarded. We both know you're not retarded so there's no need to internalise other people's failures

I've always had mixed feelings on them. I can see why a small indie dev would benefit from it if he switch to full time devving this way, but most of the time paying for a quarter or half a game isn't worth it.

There's nothing wrong with a backlog of games. It's just a bunch of games you're interested in and want to play. You might play video games till you die, so you know you'll have plenty of games rather than wondering what game might interest you.

I am you from the future. You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

I am 32 years old, I have been trying to beat Metaphor: Refantazio since May now, but I keep burning out.

I have burnt out on it and had to take long breaks, I think, twice now.

I played a little bit of Fantasy Zone II. That game gets bonkers by stage 5, and I have to figure out how to lead the bullets with the boss. I might try to take more sweeping movements because small taps don't seem to be doing it for me. I eventually get pinned. Also picked up on my 10 year old save file for Ys Celceta. Beat two bosses in the final dungeon and I think I'm on the final boss. Seems a little nutty, at least on nightmare it is. Has the four elemental pillars around it which I assume you need to hack away at before you can damage it, or I might need to switch to a ranged character and see what happens. Might have to grind my skills as well which I don't like the prospect of.

I'll probably bounce around some games until one or a few stick.

>>715964082
1 and 2 are all-timers and ME2, even now, is still probably in my top 5 games of all time.

i have never in all these years even made past the mid-way point of ME3. the tone in that game is so off-putting.

>>715964279
it took 120 hours for me but the payoff was worth it. it ended up my GOTY for last year.

Atlus RPGs tend to have weird lasting impacts though. i played P3R right after beating Metaphor, took about 100 hours including the not-very-good DLC, and while Metaphor is unquestionably the better video game as a whole, P3 has been living in my head rent-free since i beat it. i can't stop listening to the soundtrack or thinking about the characters. P5 had a similar impact on me after i first beat it, and that game is now in my top 2 of all time and it might not even be #2. Metaphor didn't have that impact on me though. I beat it, loved the experience, then just kinda stopped thinking about it for a while.

It has borderlands tier dialog with committee approved jokes. It also ahs a billion collectibles and you need them for a few upgrades which sucks but but the movement is fun enough.

>>715965005
it's not even just the plot or them doing weird shit like having the ship's AI take on a humanoid form and join the party, it's literally the tone of the game that keeps me from getting invested in it.

Play Persona 4 Golden before the remake ruins it

>>715965347
i already did, it's a really good game and there are some aspects of it that i think are done even better than they are in 3 and 5, but i also think it really does need a remake. the dungeon crawling got just stale enough by the the time i got to the heaven area. it could afford to be touched up a bit.

>>715965135
yeah thats why you disassociate from the plot, lol. its kind of like the last matrix movie, a lot of cool scenes wrapped up in a stupid plot and terrible ending.

>>715965347
4G is easily the worst Persona game at this point

>>715965347

33 year old Mexican here

I recently concluded my journey through Mad Max on PS5, a title of respectable merit, though its narrative seemed a mere whisper in the wind.

The meticulous gathering of scrap, dismantling of camps, and obliteration of hidden insignias offered a delightfully absorbing diversion, until, alas, ennui set in.

For a production of such grand scale, it proved a most enjoyable endeavor.

In my enthusiasm, I secured a preorder for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and acquired Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 alongside Khazan: The First Berserker, last one was fortuitously on sale.

At present, my gaming repertoire includes Avowed and Silent Hill: Downpour on the Xbox Series X, Persona 4 Golden and Lost Ruins on the Nintendo Switch, and Yakuza: Pirates in Hawaii paired with Sonic Team Racing on the PlayStation 5, a veritable symphony of digital artistry.

The allure of the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2 beckons, with Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Bananza promising splendor, though their cost is lamentably steep.

The new FromSoftware creation, while intriguing, leans toward multiplayer, a minor blemish on its otherwise tantalizing prospect.

In sum, my passion for video games endures, yet I find myself drawn to explore diverse genres to sustain the vibrancy and passion of this cherished pastime.

You don't "grow up" and stop playing certain genres or series. Maybe you play them less than before, but you never fully abandon them. It all depends on what you want to play at a specific time.

A very large part of it is the artstyle and designs, which are appealing. The game is also presented in an overly stylish way and that unfortunately goes very far in making people overlook the glaring flaws in the games. Just look at how many shit games like League of Legends and Cyberpunk get "engoodened" because they release some unrelated animated show that somehow psyops people into thinking the source material was good.

Biggest practical difference is that melee combat is also viable and that you don't actually have hit chances. Angles will reduce the damage you do, where full cover will 100% reduce damage if you shoot straight at them. So it is much more about flanking, cover destruction, and such.
So you don't have to worry about the 1% miss but at the same time advancing to get a shot off can be rather annoying at times.

Same, I've played quakeworld before but that multiplayer was always too ADHD for my taste even by Quake standard - just HUH HUH HUH HUH bunnyhopping like madmen while spamming rockets that 1 or 2 hit kill with surprisingly large splash. Q3 did a much better job than Q1/QW or Q2 in balancing the multiplayer nicely.

Q4Max was overall my favorite multiplayer experience of the series, hitting the sweet combat balance of Q3 but adding more movement skill with crouch sliding, but that multiplayer community died hard because the game was too demanding for all the shitty russian PCs when it released and it didn't provide enough of a gameplay change over Q3 for anyone to justify upgrading. If Q4 had proper bot support for multiplayer modes I'd still be playing it.

You'd get banned immediately. When I tell you these people are faggots, they're truly no fun allowed. You have to play in the most sanitized way possible and only do scenarios that are admin team approved. If you're a criminal and do too good of a job? Banned. You act a little too much like a wild west criminal? Banned. You don't jump when they tell you to jump? Banned.

>>715955638
Well, I'm an oregonfag and a few years back we had this horrible fire where thick smoke blanketed everything for over a month. The average high may have been lower (32-33) but THAT was nightmare fuel. You couldn't escape the smoke smell. It never got cool. Not being able to see across the street, let alone see the sky for so long started to make me feel sick. It lasted until we got a decent rain in mid september.
While this heat wave sucks, that bullshit makes this look cute in spite of higher temps. For this I just sweat like a pig for a few hours and then take a shower. Please note, my favorite weather is 55 (13~c) and rainy, so summer is crappy in general for me.

These threads are the only good thing on vee anymore. People actually talking about playing games and giving suggestions.

Sometimes talking about their lichen penises or whatever, too.

I've been playing the bazaar, which is surprisingly good. I had seen it kick around a little bit and thought "naw lame". It reminds me of very early hearthstone and very early marvel snap, like season 1 shit where things were still interesting and didn't degrade a ton (yet).

Been playing a smattering of fighting games, but I don't know if I have the heart for it anymore. I always have fun when I play but just pressing "play" is becoming more taxing. Hit master a few times in sf6 and I don't care about grinding the Mr system.

Otherwise I'm looking forward to Shinobi and Cairn. That's kind of it. I started taking care of a sick family member and it's been beyond miserable.

I've been forcing myself through FF4 on the SNES version since I never really liked JRPGs and I'm deadset on experiencing them in its original iteration.
Some of the story beats are nice but I can't help but feel it is really basic overall.

>>715994472
>but feel it is really basic overall
Well, consider when it came out. Of course it's going to be basic

>>715988707
yeah people actually talk about what they are playing a little. i remember when I used to make these threads and jannies would delete them on sigh, now it is just kind of accepted.

Figured out how to make Rock of Ages work on modern Windows (it has problems with anything from W7+) after dicking around with the .ini file. It's fun so far

>>715994472
It's incredibly basic, hell it gives you fewer choices than FF I and has hidden casting time that makes spells worse than they should be.

Playing Final Fantasy 8
I played this game when I was a kid but i never actually beat it. I made it all the way to disc 4 and I think i got stuck on a boss and got bored.
This new playthrough is going a lot better now that I'm actually engaging with the mechanics.
I really didnt notice it back then but it's crazy how empty the world is, you can really feel the cut content, It's still kino tho. Comparing it to the other ps1 games, it's not as good as 7 but better than 9; felt fully fleshed out but 9 has worse gameplay (and story imho).

>>715984873
Happy women don't make social media posts looking for validation.

You can stop at calc 1 but make sure to take linear algebra and statistics and probability.

Been making a HLTM profile for a roleplaying game on BYOND that isn't up for a few months, so I'm not caught sleeping. Been playing Donkey Kong Bananaza as well, alright little game but not as good as Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo. Still playing Duel Links on my phone, got me to watch Duel Rush I like Yudias that much.

guitar is ez to get the basics of, i.e. chords, strumming patterns, and singing at the same time
it gets harder when you start adding on things like embellishments, lead guitar and solos
also you dont need to learn theory at all, but once you get the basics down it does wonders if you take a few easier songs and try to learn them completely by ear

I've started playing it like two days ago. The soundtrack is very comfortable, the controls are super tight and precise. It's a speedrunning autist game at the end of the day but the completion requirements are very lax (you have to clear all the dust and not make any mistakes on a reasonable time) so you can get by just by playing well. You could for instance finish a level in 1:05 at max rank, look at your friends' scores, someone did it on 1:35 and still got the max rank but then you look at the leaderboard and the #1 is a mad lad doing it in 21 seconds.
There's a lot of room for player expression and optimization if you want to but you can still play at your own pace and have fun.
I got it for like a buck and I'm happy I did.

Genuine question for 30+ dudes.
I'm a Zoomer born in 02. As a man, I do not desire to have children at all. Seeing how much free time my job has taken from me I can't imagine being a father and basically getting no time to myself. I do like children, I hang out with my younger relatives all the time, but I don't see myself actually fathering children of my own.

How are those part of a horrible midlife crisis?

Unironically just be yourself. I'm a total stuttering autist, and not very attractive, but I also work with fashion models as an artistic concept photographer, so I'm not shy about kicking up conversations and straight up flirting with women. Women are horny as fuck too, so it's easy to get someone to just straight up fuck you while barely knowing you. You have to stop thinking so much.

I don't live in Europe, where 'wrong think' is already a crime. Not my problem.

Nah, she works out 4 times a week and just has huge boobs. She's mentioned more than once that she's thinking about getting a boob reduction because of her back. She's around 198.

you could have googled it at any point
the autism rate is so fucking high now that women at 25 have the same rate as women at 35 from a decade ago

you do NOT want an autistic kid

>Ciel Nosurge Offline (recently fan translated)
Crazy this game came out when I was in highschool and for years we had that one LP and then the Youtube video series. Now I have Ion on the table next to me cooking up some sweets while I do some reading.

>"Could have just learned Japanese, idiot"
Yeah. Interestingly enough, the guy who did English summary said "The Ciel story write up will be removed as I'm completely uninterested in the opinions of others, the ridiculous propositions, and inane comments that it generates. The idea was to share a story that I felt a deep attachment to with a community that might not be able to access it otherwise. Instead it was treated as a required homework by some in order to enjoy Ar, and as an avenue for a strange kind of superiority flexing by others who think that knowing some Japanese makes them special." I cannot remember if he did indeed take the English summary down.

I consider Ciel to be important to understanding Ar but it's funny Japanese learners were obnoxious back then too and they had to backup the English summary until the fan translation came out.

Just beat Circle of the Moon
I was actually liking the game at first, but the map design is so fucking bad. They copy and paste patterns of enemies like 5 times in each of the many long, monotonous hallways. It takes fucking forever to get anywhere because of literal copy paste hoards of enemies and barely any teleportation points. How having beaten it I have to agree with the concensus, this game is ass

Unironically true. They cannot keep these mining/obscure factory town populated so they need to import the third world to do so. Soon going out to the country will be more dangerous than going out to the hood.

>i hate microsoft excel
I loved Excel as it was the only thing I had control over that couldn't be fucked by anyone else in that office. It it helps, I was getting down about looking for work after 8 months of unemployment and decided to look at the last company on Glassdoor. Saw a review from May that was 1 star and listening the exact same issues I had when I quit. Good to see their turnover rate is still terrible.

When I was 6 I've held hands and even kissed a girl on the cheek when I was in kindergarten. We even said that we would get married casually, just out of the blue. It was so sweet. Just two kids sharing the purest love for each other. But one day we just stopped all the lovey dovey stuff and never talked about it. Then she moved away in first grade. That was the last time I was ever close to a girl.

>>716014708
well that seems excessive don't you think
