Games

If you are not already familiar with nostalgames, they're an indie game studio that makes pro AES/pro socialist strategy games. This seems to be a remake of one of their past games 'Crisis of the Kremlin', in which you could could kill yeltsin and save the USSR.... im HOOKED.

The demo is already out so im gonna check it out right after i post this

i know COD WAW is one of them where it has the best portrayal of the soviets, but the other COD games where you also get to play as the soviets/red army soldier like in the original COD (COD 2003) and in COD 2 - are they just as good? or at least, not as problematic as with the newer cod games?

because i refuse to play any game that's just pure crystallized american state propaganda and talks shit about the USSR. fuck off with that shit.

I recently cracked my 3ds (which is super easy to do now that they've stopped updating it) and you can use it to play any previous generation games (up to PS1). Wish I knew that before I bought a purpose-made console lol

I have a huge catalog of games but since I'm switching out my SD card for a bigger one, I'm looking to basically just download whatever seems interesting. What's your favorite 3ds and nds games? (Please don't say Pokémon)

Anyone else getting this game?

I'm on the fence, tbh.

They're either pixel-shit or wastelands or some shit.

At times, they seem very grey-ish, like the Dune duology by Denis Velleneuve.

The color palette's just not doing it for me.

And at times, the gameplay is the same... Remember when Nintendo made games with more gameplay "gimmicks"? I miss those "gimmicks" because they made things interesting, but at least Echoes of Wisdom (the new Zelda game) will have something like that... Even the Indie games can sometimes over-use the Unity engine or Unreal Engine 5.

It may be because I'm depressed, but aside from OMORI, which is also a bit derivative from other RPG Maker games (I still love it), nothing really... Idk, looks interesting?

I just had a thread about suggesting me games, but I'm running into the same problem as before.

...I... probably should at least try them, at least some, but I feel like I'll run out of games that ARE good and then quickly bump into games that ARE bad. I don't know. Maybe just me. Probably lol

Thoughts? Do you think too many games nowadays look the same or "samey"? Do you think many have this problem?

What do you think?

Is this the "lost Oracle game," as this video speculates?

What do you all think?

What you are about to watch is a recording of what may very well be the first WWII video game ever published. Milwaukee Coin Industries, Ltd. (MCI) released this in the May of 1972 (twenty‐six years after WWII officially ended), and it seems that the company went out of business sometime in the 1970s. The player takes control of an Allied aeroplane during the Axis’s North African campaign, and has to fire quickly at the targets that appear.

Despite this product’s obvious historic value, you won’t find many mentioning this as they would mention, say, Wolfenstein 3D, and copies of it are extremely difficult to find. This is my modest contribution to drawing attention towards it.

Anyone interested in the next game?

What are your overall thoughts here?

What games are developed by Marxists, cooperatives or strong union devs?

Disco Elysium kind of great fr

CW: I talk about sexual harrasment and paedo-adjacent content of the game.

In the past I have played Persona 5 and Persona 3 Reload. I am currently playing Persona 5 Golden. I feel this game would be better off if the main characters were college students of college age rather than high school students without having to change the basic formula of the game much.

Reasons why I think so:

• College-aged people struggle with self-discovery just as much as high school students.
• Can still play as a mute pussy magnet.
• The central premise of playing as a transfer student attending an educational institution can remain intact.
• Clubs and sports still exist for social link inserts.
• Persona games often deal with mature themes, which college age students can understand and process better than high school students.
• Rampant sexual harrasment against the female characters is slightly less detestable because it is now being done to people of legal age rather than 16-17 year old children.
• Can preserve the premise of the Heirophant arcana, where you live under the care of a non-parent guardian.
• Several cases of exceptional students become easier to digest. For example, the police being assisted by ace detectives aged 20-22 is more believable than by ace detectives aged 16-18 (Naoto and Akechi)

Cons:

• I don't know how the classroom sequence would work since colleges have a wider variety of classes with more agency for the students. Perhaps the MC could be the joker because there is a certain discipline like physchology that they are very well versed in and that is hardcoded in.
• Less appeal to paedophiles.

In general I don't know if I have the confidence to suggest that college students are that much more mature than high school students. For me personally I felt I growed the most after college. But age is definitely a factor and for some people a few years can make a lot of difference.

...OR I will refer to records as "vinyl CDs" like I did last time.

You have been warned.

Don't test me; I will do it!

Current games I have on my sights are:

The original Deus Ex

Ib

Infinity Nikki

Remnant II

Silent Hill II (through emulation)

Dragon's Dogma II

Slay the Princess

ELEX and ELEX 2

Dread Delusion

Daggerfall

Morrowind

Hylics 1 and 2

RuneScape 3 (not RuneScape Classic... I know, I know, don't hurt me!)

Currently playing:

Elden Ring (finishing it)

OMORI (slowly taking my time in finishing it)

Fallout 76 (much better than what it was at launch; if anyone wants to play with me, they may ask me)

Recently finished:

Disco Elysium

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (y'all should play both Pathfinder CRPG games)

Love:

CRPGs

MMORPGs (yes, even now)

Open-world games (...yes, even with the over-saturation)

Decision-making

Stealth games

Pacifist runs

Minor horror elements? Eh, idk, nothing, like, over-bearing, ig

Macabre horror (basically, horror that isn't horror; just has the aesthetic)

3D platformers (like Super fucking Mario; you know, the Italian-American voiced by Chris Pratt)

Mods, mods, mods

Not too fucking long; let me finish a game when I want to easily (so, basically, not, like, Persona 5-levels of long, idk)

Anything like Majora's Mask

"Nautical games" (Wind Waker, Dredge, etc.)

"Classic games" (basically, games through emulation)

VR games, oddly enough

"Cozy games"

"girl games" shovel-ware (basically, the precursor to "cozy games"; the type of shit you found on the Nintendo Wii)

Interactivity outside of the actual game (I don't know much about Pokemon Go... but what I do know is Pokemon Go to the polls)

Dungeon crawlers (think: King's Field)

Music with lyrics, idk (I don't know much about Quavo... but what I do know is Quavo go to the polls)

Good music. Banger music, even.

No loading screens; seriously, let me start up a game and just play. I feel like starting up a game nowadays is sometimes a whole process.

Non-Western games (...Eh, tbh, I don't really have a bias, I'm just sort-of interested in how they're developing and what they have to bring... SO think: Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Indian, African, Latin American, etc.)

Nintendo games...

...or anything LIKE a Nintendo game (with wacky gameplay, idk)

Autistic games... Okay, so far, I think OMORI is, like, the only "Autistic game" out there, but surprise me.

LGBTQIA+ games

BIPOC character games

... okay, that's all, you don't even have to follow these requirements at all; hell, be a little creative and use your own insight.

Okay... now...

...SHOOT!

(No, wait, put the gun away!)

Pikmin's Model by H.P. Lovecraft.

What are your thoughts?

Also, TSA officer, bleh

Reddit's favorite RPG?!

Heh. Delusional.

Dragon Ass: Origins 4

teehee

Also, by this person here.

I was vaguely aware that shit like this happened in these game but reading the exact mechanisms was gut wrenching.

The c-suite for this game should be summarily executed.
