>brought the ghost back to their base
their cap point is supposed to be in YOUR spawn, or at least most of the time(what map were u on?). I do tend to enjoy bigger maps, but 3v3 pugs are pretty fun on the smaller ones like redlight. I do agree that the rounds are really fast, but I'm not bothered by it I guess.

>>261
>their cap point is supposed to be in YOUR spawn
oh, that explains why my teammates always got mad at me when I carried the ghost back to our spawn

>>196
Forget the games, the *mods* are what was up.
Brainbread, The Specialists, Action HL/Quake, Firearms, Zombie Panic, Jaykin' Bacon, I could go on for hours. Where would we be right now without Carmack?

Does anyone play Day of Defeat?

>>196
Older games are creative & fun first; accountants (aka Bachelor of Business types) being in upper management don't get that but are the ones making the decisions.

It's not just the video-gaming industry either. Boeing is a most obvious example of what happens when only accountants are in charge.

I work at a retro game store, and have only seen one come in for over a year (which I bought myself)
I've been having a blast with the Vita, definitely my favorite handheld of all time.
I soft modded mine, and it can play some RPG maker games and PC VNs.
It runs PSP games better than a PSP, emulates a ton of systems, and is a swiss army knife of retro gaming in general.
The memory cards are prohibitively expensive though, which is a definite downside if you're not using an SD2Vita card.
Currently I'm having a blast playing Freedom Wars, although it gets frustratingly hard near the end.

>>662 you can install VPKs through Vitashell, you can also wirelessly move them to your Vita using Vitashell's FTP function.
There are other methods for installing games, most sites that host files explain the process.

>>651 I definitely reccomend JPKG, Easy RPG, Cavestory is always a good pickup, and you'll probably want the Higurashi VN program which can interpret a ton of VNs. There is also a solid PSP emulator, but I don't remember the name off the top of my head.

I have like 7 folders of Vita games. And yeah its hacked. I really only touch it when I'm on public transit though. I've enjoyed it more than my 3DS. I'm still a little mad Sony just let this great handheld die and paid more attention to its big brothers. Being able to play old PSP favorites is probably the best thing about it in addition to its newer shinier games. It's also a decent PS1 emulator and the smaller screen doesn't stretch those games as bad to the point it needs anti-aliasing.

>>598
have a fully-hacked 3.68, but the sticks died in less than a year

>>976
You can find replacement sticks from China pretty cheap. Sony was smart and made the sticks separate from everything else. In fact, all the controls are on their own PCBs. ifixit has a guide on doing the repair.

I completed Trails of Cold Steel a couple of nights ago. The framerate at times wasn't great but the game is turn basd anyway so who cares. I really enjoyed it.
Now I'm starting Freedom Wars. So far the story seems a little boring but the gameplay is very fun and I like the character customisation anr visual style a lot.

>>990
If you get all the DLCs for MK8 on WiiU you should have the same experience. Or is there additional content?
>>994
Maaan I miss the Virtual Console. The New NES/SNES Online is such a step down in terms of content. They must have lost lots of publishing rights with the new generation since all they publish on Switch is minor publishers like Jaleco. WiiU VC had everything, even Turbografx games! Probably with the rise of mini consoles everyone thought it was better to make their own collections/thing and to ditch Nintendo's service.
Online emulator play on Switch is nice though I must admit.

>>995
Even with all the DLCs there's some big differences between games. Among them is the revamped battle mode, the 200cc time trials, the extra characters such as king boo, inklings, etc. and the comeback of the double item box and also the ability to carry 2 items at the same time. Regarding items there's the feather and the boo which aren't in the WiiU version and there's also the difference in stats between karts and characters, so instead of there being like 8 different "tiers" or so there's like 13 on the switch.

And there's the thing known as firehopping or something like that which seemingly was removed on the switch so even the way to move through stages might have been modified a bit. So yeah, they knew what to add to make it worth it to buy it on the switch.

>>990
Did you manage to complete Zelda fellow sushi?
I'm looking for a WWHD copy but they're all over 40€ here. I might really need to mod my console

>>1033
Sorry sushi, not yet, I got a few Koroks, got tired of looking for them and decided to try Axiom Verge which was fun but I certainly didn't get invested in the story. Got child of light dowloaded somewhere but have yet to get to it.
Ah yeah, with the sudden realization that it sold poorly people starting collecting the games and consoles for the "game collector" badge and coupled with corona the prices went through the roof while they started becoming more scarce. And with them killing the eshops of some regions and removing games nobody would fault you for modyfing the system I guess. In any case hope you can get to play soon!

OP here, I managed to finish Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE at Hard difficulty, really good and satisfying game, you can clearly see it was made by the SMT team in some points and that's a plus! I also managed to finally get a copy of WWHD and I've finished it as well. Making my way through Xenoblade Chronicles X now, this game is so massive it makes me feel wanderlust

>>1025
It was cool. There's a link to stream archives at the end of the 8moe thread, mega a shit though so you might have to fuck around with download tools a bit.

I tuned for a bit too, watched 3 games, then came a dry spell with no games whatsoever and a lot of dolphin talk, something about other stream then came a mirror match and I left.
At the very least in my time there I could confirm there was 2hu talk and games there every once in a while, good for you lads.

Organizing with PMs is easier here.

I've been entertaining the thought of getting involved in the age of empires 2 online community.

>>1057
Age of Empires II DE is pretty decent for beginners, although there's recently been some kind of influx of rude tryhards on the ladder, the types of blowhards who don't say glhf or gg.

>>1058
NOOOOOO being the silent ownage machine was supposed to be MY GIMMICK!!!

>>1060
idk man it makes me really pissed off when people don't say glhf back or at least u2

I don't mind quality of life changes but there's something about the grime of StarCraft

>>298
Yea, see, college is nothing like real life. I work with computers quite a lot, and a lot of the computers I work on are never Macs. They tend to be old Compaqs/HPs or Toshibas aka the shit you get from Walmart. And in this group, these people get Windows because it isn't that much harder to use and it comes with the computers. Plus a lot of their software is often Windows only anyhow. Again, people don't buy Macs just like these people aren't getting Alienware or the Surface Book. Too expensive.

The use of consoles especially among older people is likely from the massive PC vs Console difference in terms of games of the past. When people bring up great 90s games, a lot of people mention Quake or Serious Sam along with all those cartoony adventure games OR they mention games like Mario Bros or Final Fantasy. I mean, how many people were playing Quake on their tv back in the 90s like people play CoD on a tv now? Kids nowadays are playing Minecraft which while on consoles, I think the rise of Let's Players has resulted in younger generations of kids getting into PC gaming, kids are also playing more games on a smartphone or tablet. The next generation of gamers seem to favor more multi-function devices like smartphones and PCs over consoles.

Also;
>Apple
>fashionable

Good one, but my iPad is the least fashionable piece of tech I own. No crazy colors, overly minimalistic, the newer iPad Pro looks tacky as shit when you charge that overpriced "Apple Pencil" in the lighting port. Apple is the grandma of tech if you want to talk about nice looking devices. Now something like Asus looks pretty nice despite going for the minimal look.

>>300
>and a lot of the computers I work on are never Macs.
Don't apple have their own "genius" pseudo monopoly on maintenance?

With pc gaming having the better controls, hardware and options it's easily taking the more dedicated gamers, and mobile shit is eating up the casual players. Consoles are being ripped in half, their only real future is probably portable consoles. I dare say there's not going to be enough room in the marketplace for sony, microsoft and nintendo soon.

Apple is still fashionable in the same way a corpse sits up by it's own rigor mortis. But it is still sitting.
I'm pretty certain the apple vogue will be replaced within the next half decade. Not sure what will replace it though since there's no dominant force of such magnitude in computing, it's pretty fractured.

>>301
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.

Get thee to PSV.

Playstation Five wil be henceforth known as PSV.

>>964
Damn this is a good picture
I always want to play Kancolle when I see the pictures of the girls but then I actually look at the "gameplay" and all interest just drains out of me.

>>965
I personally liked it because of it, you don't need to pay attention and invest a lot on it (except money, that is a literal investment). I can browse imageboards or play something else while the skirmishes happen or the timers fill out.
The only thing that pisses me off is that, you have to put something akin of 50 dollars to have enough space to collect all the ships

>>964
>Well pants isn't something you can wear unless you're a woman
That is very close-minded.

>>977
>That is very close-minded.
It's better that way

I prefer its competition, AZURE LANE.

Buelbe argot ;_;
How come this thread was necrobumped with no replies? A Mystery!

>>1091
Whoa I didn't even notice the post date, scary stuff!

Myst is incredible, I wish I had gotten the chance to play it when it was first released. Despite its age, I haven't ever played another game that can mimic its atmosphere.

The suikoden series.

>>404
I played it back in 1995, but i was so young then, I didn't understand much about the game, or what to do in that kind of game. I think I would appreciate it a lot more if I played it today.

>>149
I have this game on the SNK 40th anniversary collection and on NES Online on Switch. I might give this a shot, thanks sushi!

prince of persia ii
i loved the atmosphere as a kid
and the mystery of the various environments
