Since there was no thread for this topic I decided to do it myself. I'll start.

I've finished The World Ends With You, and I left it fairly cold.
It's partially my fault for playing an undub on a game that has no subtitles for its cutscenes, but even after seeing the ending on youtube, so much feels as if all that happened in the game was pointless. Which sucks because I really liked the game up until the ending.
What is happening with me that I'm not appreciating games as much as I should? Same thing happened to me with Omori, I went in thinking it would be a surreal game with some Mother inspirations but the game was far too tame for me personally. Even after hearing about the topics that the game tackles.

If sushi finished a game and also wants to talk about it he can post here freely.

Interesting read. I'd love to play multiplayer with someone actually. I played maybe 40% of it a long time ago but we weren't smart enough to actually finish it. I love Portal 2 and also the OST is free online which is kind of Valve.

I kinda wonder if you'd enjoy the Sam & Max games or if you'd be frustrated with them. They're point and click puzzle games, so not exactly the most fun for people who like running and jumping, but the psychology of the characters interested me a bit, especially in the Telltale season 3 game that focuses on Max's mental state a lot. Unfortunately I played that entire series out of order which I don't suggest but I really loved the character writing.

As for the last game I finished, I don't play too many games that have a "finish" but probably YIIK. I know this is a really unpopular opinion but I like YIIK. It's not perfect by any means but it's not NOT fun now that they changed the combat so it doesn't take forever to kill one medium HP enemy.

I'm open to Adventure games I would say.
At some point this year, I was playing Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. It's been in my library for years, owned and unplayed for over a decade, and I figured I might as well give it a go.
I enjoyed it I would say, I just feel bad about giving my time to videogames right now at this phase in my life. My present phase is one that needs a lot of work.
I suppose the plus-side in dropping Dreamfall for so long now is that I have forgotten a lot of what happened in the story, so I can start again with its prequel: The Longest Journey. I didn't know that I actually had both games. But yeah, as these games are classics in the "Adventure" genre, and I did enjoy playing one of them, I'm open to Sam & Max.
It's weird, you know, I didn't know that I had never played an Adventure game before until playing Dreamfall. I think the games I'd typically played were "Action-Adventure" games. I would think to myself "Of course I like Action-Adventure games - I loved Jak 2 on the PS2 after all", but after playing a "pure" Adventure game, I can see now why there's a hyphen. Adventure Games are really more of a PC experience I think. A "pure" Adventure game is new to me, but as I said, I had a pleasant experience, and so I'm willing to give it a go.

I think I would like Sam & Max. It looks good and sounds good to me.
YIIK also seems interesting to me. I'd be open to giving it a go some day.

Finished CrossCode!

I would not describe it as a purely comfy game, even though the majority of the game is. It deals with very serious and horrifying subjects at times. Not a good idea if you have trouble with existential issues/topics. But it's a real nice game all the same.
Only thing I disliked was some certain puzzle things, which the game itself acknowledges is a huge bother right before one of the last ones of that type. Most of the puzzles were nice, but some of them where essentially puzzle escort missions, and escort missions aren't really famous for being enjoyable in games. Ironically the game itself mentions in NPC dialog that it's valid to look up net guides for them.

Was a nice experience enough that I'm sure to pick up the DLC when that's on sale.

I was really liking it up to the point where you get separated from all your teammates. I loved the feeling of just playing the in-game game with the npc friends. I want to revisit it but I totally forgot what was going on and what I was supposed to do next.

SMPLOL.com is a server completely vanilla SMP Minecraft server I've owned for a while. Doesn't have a big player base but does have a small tight knit community. There are no rules I don't typically play on the server all I do is own and pay for it. I also don't usually advertise I typically leave that job up to the player base but seeing as more and more people are starting to leave I thought I would reign in the new era of the server.

Half-life, natural selection, counter-strike, dod, team fortress, just to name a few!
I feel like these game are super comfy. Along with bunny hopping, there are many reasons why these games are just better than newer games in their series'. TF2 doesn't have concs, making it super slow, and csgo has loads of problems.

Why are older games so much better?

Any of you guys play hldm? What's your opinion on wallgauss? Personally, I think it's an element of skill, like learning smoke lineups in counter strike. But I know it's very controversial in the community. Either way, I think hldm is pretty fun.

i know many hate using discord but if you're interested in the multiplayer of these old games, i've been on this /vm/ offshoot server for over an year now and they've been playing a variety of vidya somewhat consistently. free from troons, pedos, bad mods
as is always the case, the vast majority of sushi rolls are lazy but there's still something to play most weekends. they've played many of the games mentioned in this thread.

if you're asking me personally, no

in my experience (last 1-3 years), there's maybe a few people on the goldsrc ver, you can find a populated server but no promises, from my recollection, much as HL1 servers are 99% running crossfire, 99% of DOD servers are running that one map which might be set in italy, the one with a giant pile of rubble in the middle, and maybe a church to the right of that

on source, stay away from fastpath.fr since their servers are populated by fake players, I actually think it's easier to find a lobby on goldsrc slightly, but if you want to play gun game, there's a good number around

How come we don't have a roguelikes thread on /arcade/ yet?

What's your most recent social life killer? How do you usually try to build your character? Do you believe in optional content?

Recently I've been playing:

ToME - Very decent game if you enjoy taking it slow and playing in a reactive way. While there are enough fodder enemies, rares spawn with same classes, skillsets and progression a player character could have achieved at their level, which makes fights incredibly fun and complex, especially when you're facing three multi-classed enemies of your level who consist of a melee tank, a ranged DD and a CC mage.

Soulash 1/2 - fairly small roguelikes, can't recommend them for more than one night of fun, they attracted me with tank controls and FoV, which I personally would like to see in more top-down games, but turned out to be very shallow and felt rushed.

Also killed a few of my nights by playing DCSS again, constantly trying to go for a short blades all offense build.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, it's not really a typical roguelike and you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you disregard roguelikes altogether based on that experience.

My recommendation would be Infra Arcana, quite simple to get into but still has lots of tactical depth.

Along with Infra Arcana I recommend Rogue Fable IV, I got minorly addicted to it last month and played about 30 hours. It's fast paced and very easy to learn with a focus on combat and simple character building with a neat system where you mix abilities from other classes in with yours as you find skill tomes. Finding out a new way that a rogue ability can benefit a wizard for example is a lot of fun. I also like how they scattered oldschool health and mana pickups to incentivize moving around during combat. That said it's maybe obviously not the deepest game out there and I don't have a ton of motivation to keep playing after getting a handful of wins.

Hey sushirolls. What are some of the comfiest games you've ever played?

I recently just finished playing Va-11 Hall-A for the first time. It's not really a game by everybody's standards but it was really comfy and a great experience overall.

I'd totally recommend it to anybody with a rainy night, some tea, and time to waste.

I love it. Me, my bf and friends spend time there just fishing and chatting in a code-lobby. we stopped for a bit because of the pool staffs kindly advising us that the pond is closed because the pond has aids and they were so thoughtful to take control of host commands and kick us <3 /s
Just has the usual early chatting platform hiccups atm. Nothing serious. I do find it amusing that they are bringing back the pool's closed meme.

>>2321
The only thing the two have in common, really, is the chatting and social aspect of the game. You have an avatar you can customize and the chat is txt based. The game is alot closer to Animal crossing's multiplayer than VR chat.

You'll be fishing or treasure hunting, playing guitar or drawing on the map while chatting with other folks in the lobby along the way. While interacting and playing with the few grief tools the game has like the boxing glove to push folks around (You can toggle the grief option off if that is not your style.)
It's silly fun.

My #1 comfy game is chivalry medieval warfare. Real nice atmosphere, you never get finished growing in skill cause of the high skill roof, and it's just real nice. Since it's an old game you can play on sucky hardware, I play without a discrete GPU even.

A bit sad about that it seems to be drying out, I guess people left for either chivarly 2 or mordhau, which I can't really get into both because of hardware constraints and I don't really like the way they play. Some people around on fridays at least. Never played any other game with as much depth as it has, there is always more to learn and improve even after yearas playing, I am sad that people can't have the same experience anymore that I had going in when it was more active.

If you wanna give it a try I really recommend it though, and it might be your last chance to with the last remnants of the community still keeping around.

The most comfy games I've ever played has to be the atelier series. Admittedly I haven't really touched the new ones that much yet but the older 3d ones (rorona and such) are just peak CGDCT. They are very good to just pick up once in awhile, and the themes can range from extremely dumb and lighthearted to having a bit of tension but still feeling grounded. The rpg aspect is an enjoyable gameplay loop too as well in the games. If you're worried about difficulty, usually while the main games themselves are very easy, the DLCs can be very hard and require you to minmax your crafted alchemy items. Lastly the girls are just very cute!! Though in recent times KT Gust has been pivoting to a different style in the series.

I know what you mean. I always love going back and playing through the ps2 trilogy, before I knew it even Ace difficulty was very doable. I somehow unlocked the secret plane in either 5 or 0 (been too long to remember, but the one with the full 360 computer screen cockpit) without actually knowing what I was doing either.

I've only played the first two AC games. I thought the first was a perfectly serviceable arcade game that was fun for one playthrough but that's it.

More aesthetically the same rather than a flight game, but Project Landsword hits a lot of the Ace Combat notes despite being a top down shooter. You pilot a tachiyomi-esque mech in sandboxy missions with lots of options on how to approach them. There's a slick mission select and hangar UI, and even radio chatter.

It does a good job with the feeling of the sense of scale and of the missions being a bit of a tactics puzzle you have to figure out.
It's a mech game rather than a plane game, and there's only an itch demo at the moment, but it really does scratch that itch for me.

I checked it out per your recommendation and that was really damn cool. It's a gorgeous little game and I can see why you felt compelled to bring it up here. I look forward to its full release.
