/arcade/ - vidya gaems and other gaems too

i played around with blender once and it was ok. im not good at art in general but i still had fun trying to make objects with basic shapes

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is probably the best mario kart i've ever played. All the cool technical stuff you can do while still being a relatively simple and streamlined process compared to Mario Kart DS or Mario Kart Wii is really refreshing and makes me more engaged in learning the game on a competitive level. Time Trials are really fun.

Just finished Burnout 1 for the PS2. Great game with very fun gameplay. I would usually just play music over it while playing. I found the game to be very lenient at times, so I never was stuck in one place for very long. There's very obvious rubber banding, but it's really good rubber banding (unlike Mario Kart for the N64) where the racers behind you will be close, but not too close and the one in front of you will slow down or screw up more often. I kept that in mind when playing since the goal was to have fun instead of challenge myself to become better. I had a lot of fun doing that and I even made the top scores for best lap and best race a few times. Overall, pretty solid game that I really enjoyed playing. I probably won't be playing Burnout 2 any time soon, but I know if I do, it's probably going to be just as good.

I just 100% Wario World. I didn't like it very much. Combat was good, graphics seemed okay, camera was mostly fine. Solid game in all those regards. Even though it was short, it didn't really outlive its stay. Still, man. I just didn't like it. I felt like I was inching through the game, honestly. I would spend like an hour on a small stage finding everything. I just didn't like that. I also felt like the game was pretty uninspired. The bonus levels weren't really in the theme, the hub and stages made me feel like the game was lifeless. Like, it does its purpose of being a place "outside" of the world, but it didn't really make me feel like I was playing a Wario game. Although, I've never really played one except for the wii version, so I guess you got me. Still, the Wii game had themed world while the worlds themes were kind of all over the place. Also, the wii game is much longer. I would say the combat was really boring, too. I didn't interact with it unless necessary, like the arenas, which I didn't like. Usually I like arena-style breaks from the main game, like in DK64, but the timer kinda ruined it for me. There were also really only a few moves, so it gets stale. Still, great moves that show Wario's character.

I actually liked a few things from this game, too. I liked the clown stage a lot because it was pretty difficult and was generally a theme I liked. I really liked using the glue balls to navigate through the stage. It got really difficult when flamethrowers were involved. I liked the haunted mansion because I just love haunted mansion levels. Enough said. I liked the snow level a lot despite there were two collectables on slides that you couldn't control yourself on when going down. I just like snow levels tbh. I thought a lot of the platforming was solid and the camera was really good for a gamecube game. Even though it shows the age, it really wasn't bad.

Still, I just didn't like the game that much. I'm glad it's over with. Sorry if the structure of this post was kinda weird. I don't want to type out a huge post about this game when honestly, I want to play other games. I thought this game was REALLY cool when I saw the demo on my collection of Ocarina of Time special edition for the gamecube. The one with flipped levels and had like, a blue side and a red side on the cover. So awesome. Now, I just think of it as a mediocre game. Not good, not really bad. Just not Nintendo's best. I'd be disappointed if I bought this forPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I have so many fond memories of playing Burnout 2's crash mode lol. I really wish they'd bring that series back.

I can now live out my yuri fantasies!

GET YOUR DIRTY SHOES OFF MY FUCKING BED!

SHE WAS DEAD WHEN I GOT THERE I SWEAR!

"hi"

i think i'd help her up and tell her that it's time to mix drinks and change lives. also i'd ask her if we could be girlfriends but that's later on.

anyone's buying since memories? the premise sounds awesome but i know nothing about the dev nor the writer.

I have finished the second part to Kara no Shoujo story. I have no thoughts, I just suffer.

Does Mita Miside count as a VN?

You wish… normie game.

I'm reading Adabana Itan right now. I bought it on Steam because I found the art style interesting. I don't know of any other visual novel with a similar style. So far, I can't say I'm really enjoying the writing style, it feels unnecessarily complex. Maybe it's because English isn't my native language.

Glad you like it.

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.

Play more games then.

New Capcom (retro) Collection is out.

I love Morrowind. I have multiple characters with different classes and like, two in which I wasn't allowed to die once. I definitely recommend trying out Tamriel Rebuilt. It has a bunch of new quests and areas. I've been playing Burnout 1 for the PS2. It's actually a very fun racing game that takes place on highways, so you have to avoid cars. I'm also recommending Starwars Battlefront II for the PS2. I loved that game so much. I would play it for hours after school to the point where I got legendary on all the medals. I have no idea how many hours I put into it. It's a StarWars video game where you play as a soldier trying to capture control points and killing other (usually AI) soldiers. The gameplay is really smooth, the battlegrounds are nice to look at still imo, and the narrator really adds flavor and charm to the game. Highly recommended. Finally, check out some of those Wii games you missed. Mario Galaxy I and II are great platformers, Mario Kart Wii still has an active playerbase and is seen as the GOAT of Mario Kart games (with tons of modded content too), and Smash Bros Wii has what most people would say is the best story in all of the Smash Bros games. So really, yea, a lot of the greatest titles / achievements are on the Wii. Also, I recommend the Wii sports games and Wii Resort because those are just plain fun.

Do fan-mod updates count?

I will refuse to second a link to the past, but i do heartily second link's awakening, it's just about perfect in everything it wants to accomplish, and then follow with either ages if you love the puzzles or seasons if you love the combat.
for snes games, do you like puzzles? sutte hakkun is one of my favorites on both snes and gameboy, mario's picross too. but it has a whole bunch of other games worth trying like, and i'm not kidding, super noah's ark 3d. not even making that up it actually has its own level design that feels distinct from doom.
for gameboy i'm the only person on earth who enjoys metroid 2 so i'll just stick to recommending trip world, tetris plus or the wario land series. super mario land 2 is pretty alright if a bit short. Shantae is also a pretty fun platformer. And some of the weird titles might even surprise you, like Terrifying 9/11 which is a surprisingly competent bootleg metal slug port.
cant say much about the nes besides the obvious suspects like the 5 mario games and their endless spinoffs. tetris 2 + bombliss is good fun, feels great and will be a good time. if you like RPGs check out Lagrange Point, you won't hear any other nes game with a soundtrack as good as it, and there's dragon quest too.
i could probably go on for a good while for sega consoles and other stuff but these alone will keep you busy for a good while. but ill just slide in both jet set radio and jet set radio future. those games are all time favorites of mine.

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.

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?

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 simply don't have the mechanical skill for Arena FPS. I have this painfully slow tracking muscle memory that doesn't keep up on any reasonable sensitivity. I've accepted just being a spectator in that respect.

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 was real big into TFC back in the day. anyone got the rent vs shark on openfire ?

EG Momochi vs MCZ Daigo Umehara - Stunfest 2015 Grand Final - CPT 2015

The tf2 competative scene absolutely sucks because the format is fundamentally broken, the scene is dominated by basically just one team and has been forever, and the meta is incredibly stale with very little will to experiment. Nonetheless, I think it can be one of the most thrilling esports with highly pog moments.

b4nny is a genuinely nice guy but yeah. Wish the game was playable in pubs.

I prefer the Heavy or Spy POV; ones that emphasize the little nuances on how a guy positions himself against his team. I don't really learn anything from it though.
