/arcade/ - vidya gaems and other gaems too

Went to my college's Smash local as a spectator, got cocky and fought some Bowser player way out of my league for a few matches. Didn't say anything big, just thanked him for playing against a massive scrub. It reminded me that I love WATCHING and analyzing games but I don't have any mechanical skill of my own.

HUEEEEEEEEEEEE

Personally, I liked the original Resident Evil REmake. It felt like an improvement on the original bringing back pure survival horror. The prerendered backgrounds still look gorgeous too. Its an example of a remake done right. Generally, remakes are too faithful to the original or they change too much that they loose a connection to the source material. A good remake should be an alternative spin on the original, it has to get the spirit and feel of the original without being a predictable rehash. REmake nails this perfectly. The newer Resi remakes feel more like homages to the originals but I'm just happy to see some new survival horror.

Really they shouldn't remake classics but old games that were good but fell short and remained cult classics. I'd rather see a Clocktower remake than SH2.

>>2234
>It definitely must suck seeing your favourite game warped and twisted to modern, politically correct standards.
Yeah it does. I've not been following the news on SH2. I'm really not looking forward to the remake. Did they remove the abstract rape scenes or something? Its pretty central to the plot of SH2. Why remake it anyway? SH2 was so good there's really not that much to build upon. Its near perfect as it is. You want to make a cynical cash grab? Just rerelease it simple. Its probably gonna flop anyway because hardcore SH2 fans won't buy it and most gamers these days have zero interest in horror that isn't the same Slender Friday Night and Freddy cheap jumpscare game.

>what irks me is that these remakes that have been coming out lately are for games that aren't even that old.
Corpos borrow strategies. Disney pumps out remakes because they know the children that watched this stuff in the 90s and 2000s are now adults with kids of their own, so they can appeal to people's nostalgia. I'm guessing video game corpos are just aping this trend. It doesn't make sense in SH2's case because I can't imagine introducing kids to that game and most gamers these days hate a narrative heavy single player horror. Since creative decisions are now made by suits and gaming is less auteur driven, the winning strategic is formula = $$$ so just mass produce stuff according to established formulas. Its why everything is so samey now. Remakes are low effort and low risk. Its basically rehashing anPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I understand that some games simply cannot be accessed anymore and the only way to provide them is to make a port/remake, but I don't see the need to remake good games other than a quick cash grab. Demon's Souls certainly could have used a remake since it was a tech demo at best, but Silent Hill 2 doesn't need it. Resident Evil 1 had some nice quality changes, like preserving the direction you're moving across screen changes without moving the joystick. The newer REs with the 3rd person camera are junk if you ask me. At that level of investment, I think you would have a better time calling it something else.

I liked the RE4 remake it felt different enough from the original that it was fun to play through again and it didn't kill my desire to ever play the old one either

HD remasters of early 3D games with shitty graphics (or early 2D games without color) can be good if they're faithful and just strict graphical upgrades, but remakes are basically always bad. In theory they can be good when the original creators weren't able to achieve their vision because of technical limitations or production issues and want to go back and do it right, but in practice only games that were popular enough to sell on brand recognition get picked for remaking and those achieved that reputation by already being good. At best you get to buy the same game a second time but with a little bit of its soul sucked out. At worst you get a generic modern game wearing the skin of a classic to trick people into forking over cash. It's really telling how they stopped trying to replace the originals and are now trying to have them exist alongside the originals.

Remakes should just be for better graphics/sound or to make it run on today's platform. Anything more is a reboot.

True, and a lot of there stuff is soldered and being based on BSD, macOS doesn't have the same issues that Windows often does. But again, the bulk of people I help often cannot afford a Mac in the first place, my main point is that Macs are pretty uncommon, only people who are students, got plenty of money or really scraped and saved have a Mac, everyone else just buys a computer with Windows or builds it and then puts Windows on it.

I agree with your second point but I feel that it's more that people want more functionality from their devices more than "casual vs dedicated". A popular casual game, Just Dance is on the PC and emulators as well as companies trying to push mobile gaming to more hardcore heights with special hardware like controllers and more serious titles makes me feel that devices that only serve one purpose, much like the MP3 Player or iPod before it are getting further pushed out.

I hope that we get tech in awesome/cute colors again. When I had a Lumia it was a pretty nice cyan color, otherwise I'm going to have to spraypaint my next phone or something. Everything is just grey/black/gold and sometimes white.

How come this thread was necrobumped with no replies? A Mystery!

Whoa I didn't even notice the post date, scary stuff!

Do DiabloII count as a real-time game? I believe that you can code a bot for it too.

How would you compare webfishing to something like VR Chat? Is it that kind of active interaction or is it more slowed-down and text-based or something?

>>2312
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.

Pic rel this was our first "big" catches :)

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.

still have the modded SMP? also what mods do u have sushi,….

>>2494
It's a create-mod focused SMP. I've been waiting to start it, since I want to make sure I have time to devote to it. It's all about building a city, with automation, internal politics, and the sort. If there's interest, I'll post the server link.

>>2399
>SMP
symmetric multiprocessing?

>>2517
In this context it usually refers to survival mode servers with PvP turned on. Usually diagnosed by periods of low user-to-user interaction combined with planned social events. Also, a buzz word.

A shower thought, isn't it usually just an attempt at an MMO, regardless of whether MCMMO is installed or not?

>>2518
SMP just means survival minecraft playthrough. Anything else is secondary.

>>1585
I beat the first game I ever played to 100% completion for the first time, Sonic 2. It's my least favourite of the classic sonic games but still a lot of fun. The special stages get really tough around stage 5, especially with Tails following you.
I'm trying to beat Mega Man 1 next, but the yellow devil is kicking my ass.

>>2503
>>2507
>>2506
People that got offended by the success of that game are the most pathetic lol

More or less finished Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It was pretty fun, not difficult but not a cakewalk either. Didn't grind out all the gacha figures or ability powerups, or complete any of the minigames.

>>2509
And now I've beaten Megaman 1! A really challenging game but very satisfying to beat.
Does any sushi have a recommendation of what game I should try beating next?

>>2510
What's it about and why do people hate it? Is it just popular thing bad?
It does seem like the game just came outta nowhere

There's a guy I like who also makes some nice youtube videos about WIXOSS.
He recently had a lot of trouble with PSA (the company everyone uses to get nice cards graded) and swore off them, and then tried out two other companies (TAG and BGS) with less than stellar experiences.
(Here's the video if you're curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=875OiwR1vc8)

Has sushi ever gotten a card graded? Or just framed/displayed them in general?

>>2488
I have been getting into card collecting a bit lately. It satisfies an itch I had forgotten about a long time ago. I sent some off to get graded, but I haven't gotten them back just yet. There is something pretty satisfying about holding a valuable card in your own hands, like a nerdy gemstone.

>>2392
>doctor who good
>lotr bad

you dumb cunt. magic the gathering is in the direct lineage of lotr. it's literally a card game inspired by a tabletop game inspired by lord of the fucking rings you dumb cunt lmao

meanwhile doctor who has literally nothing in common with the franchise.

>>2397
Maybe start by taking out Glen Elendra Archmage, Recruiter of the Guard, Preston, the Vanisher, Strionic Resonator, Mightstone and Weakstone, Epehemerate, Proft's Eidetic Memory, and Virtue of Knowledge. Those look like the most expensive cards to me. Here's a handful of cards I think could be good for the deck and are under $1:

If you want something else as an instant speed blink that isn't ephemerate there's lots of options but I think they're all 2 CMC

I've made it my life's mission to tell everyone about Crimson Skies. When I was a kid, this game was my everything. I wanted so badly to live in this world. Yes, there are better flight sims (I mean it's not really a flight sim considering how unrealistic everything is) out there but my nostalgia for this one beats all the rest. Also inb4 this game looks like shit yeah I know it came out in 2000 and runs horrendously on modern devices I know.

I'm playing Morrowind now. It's fun, reminds me of Gothic.

I used to play shadow of the colossus on a used PS2 I bought at a flea market when younger, I think it actually was my first console, I spent hours playing on it

>>2355
For me, it's Ace Combat.

>>2504
Ace combat seems to be all you play.
