Never played Halflife 1, should i just skip it and play black mesa instead?
>>541000016Its true. It was so good that Valve used it as inspiration for Half Life Alyx and essentially considers the game canon.
>>541000016You will get shit on, but you're not wrong.
I personally think that, like any remake, Black Mesa is a more enjoyable experience if you've played the original first, since you understand all the little callbacks that are scattered around. The shift from old to new also really adds to the experience - it's cool running through HL1's old boxy GoldSrc environments, then seeing them reimagined in HD. But if you only want to play one, and aren't really interested in the Half-Life franchise, I'd say play through Black Mesa. HL1 definitely has tighter pacing (and GoldSrc has it's charm) but Black Mesa is honestly a really well-made game that can stand on it's own.
>>541000205>>541000016Both of these are simultaneously true.
>>540999669>>540999902>>541000205Thanks guys, i thought mesa was just halflife 1 with somewhat improved graphics.. Since i only played part 2 what would be the best order for playing the whole series? Should i skip blueshift and other games not made by valve and just play 1,2 episode 1,2 and then mesa?

Will Nintendo ever have the confidence to release a normal game console again someday?
>>540997794If they stick with the switch form factor for whatever next gen console they do, and either get Nvidia to give them the good stuff, or pack it with Zen 3 mobile architecture, you'd be looking at some crazy powerful shit.
>>540999635They need nvidia to make a next gen shield with like 8gb of ram and the graphics card of a ps4 condensed into a stream box size package.
>>540995370It isn't about confidence, you absolute retard.
>>540995673There are more loners in the zoomer generation than ever before, and I'm talking about before the pandemic
>>540995370No, they've begun setting themselves apart with gimmicks. Two screens, waggle, a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter in a massively oversized "dock". Hopefully the next innovation actually adds something to the immersion, like rumble support that targets your prostate.
Games with this feel? Don't say Solitude from Skyrim, it's not even close.
>>540996969Novigrad from Witcher 3
>>540998894garbage
>>540996969Fable 2 almost had this feel.
>>540999046this. although oxenfurt is comfier somehow
>>540996969Reminds me a lot of the first major town in Fable 1, outside of the starter village that is.
I unfortunately didn't pick up the original before Squeenix gimped the graphics so it could run on shitty Switch hardware. (So much for consoles not holding back gaming, lol)Is the butchered PC version worth the money?
>>540998779Did you play the original?
>>540978113Yes because it's not butchered.
I like jerking off to the girls in this game
>>540998779I put 120 hours into the PS4 version and 160 in the Switch version. It will vary from person to person. Plus, I spent far more time exploring the cities because I expected more stuff. One of the few disappointments I had with DQXI was how little searchable pots/barrels/baskets/cupboards/dressers/chests there were compared to DQVIII. Despite the cities being way bigger.
>>540983486https://www.pcinvasion.com/dragon-quest-xi-s-comparison/ has a bunch. It's small details.
will the next armored core require pic related or will it be mecha dark souls?
Im so mad right now after multiplayer with randos, got all the key items, but they decide after somehow screwing up the lava bit in 4-3 even with an ankh to go through the wrong door (the lava popped after two attempts aswell), fuck up the qilin jetpack skip too, then proceeded to throw all their bombs at me.Im starting to hate multiplayer because of how selfish people are, and they assume their skill level to be higher than mine when they don't even know the ankh teleport skip, or to write down the tablet stuff incase someone dies like an idiot to a neo bab crush block. or because the crown ankh vlads cape guy finally dies once and freeze kills everyone else as a ghost then ragequits after blowing everyone up with bomb rope spam when you respawn in dwelling. To that guy, take off the cape and clone gun, you are a resource hog, I never have any fucking bombs or rope because of YOU.my personal recent favourite is people don't know to freeze kill the ghost shopkeeper when you do that, or when someone curses you so THEY can go through the door, the type that will sacrifice everyone else to kali even if you're doing well. I personally hope they patch that, so only the cursed person can enter.Im hoping your stories aren't quite as bad as mine and I apologise for the rant, its not always like this, Solo mode exists...I kid, i've had maybe 5% nice experiences, even completed it three times in coop. I literally cannot get a 4 player game anymore though, someone will ragequit on 1-1 after dying, without fail.Post your spelunky experiences or kali will make all your levels dark like my outlook on life.
>playing coop games with randosnigger what the fuck may i recommend Magicka if you want to blow your brains out?

So are PS5 still out of stock or what?
>>540998719Andrew Dobson
>>540999495I agree. I'm just saying that right now $500 won't get you a PS5. Really, it won't get you much in terms of gaming. Trying to buy anything new right now is fucking stupid.

>>540999585Why did they buy it anyway?
>>541000302I don’t even know, they didn’t even care to release the Fatal Frame 4 outside of Japan. Fucking cunts.
Do you believe Cyberpunk would be a better game had they broken the open world into several large hub areas and mission levels ala Deus Ex?
>>540999869Did Witcher 3 have any repeatable shit you could do? The biggest problem with the game seems to be that once you complete all the sidequests, the entire map is just going to be empty with nothing but random crimes to roam around looking for. They need to let you replay the NCPD Scanner Hustles with scaling enemies and loot or some shit. That way you could play the game forever.
>>540996215Probably, yesWould give them something more manageable
>>541000158No you're a fuckin' dumb ass faggot motherfucker. The game's biggest praises have been its world and you think they should have gone with some tiny little hub. This is exactly why you work at fuckin' taco bell or some bullshit like a retarded ass nigga.
>>540996828W3 was sectioned off though?
Am I wrong in thinking that it wasn't supposed to be a GTA like experience? Unless I'm mistaken, Witcher 3 prevented you from attacking civilian NPCs right? Weren't there also rumors early on that driving would be restricted, as well? Whether it be on rails or restricted to prevent you from running over NPCs? I think restricting the player from interacting too much with the NPCs would have helped, considering how broken they are.
Here you go anon, your copy of Skyrim along with those popcorn you ordered! Enjoy!

Playing 7 and want to do the post-game dungeons but can't be bothered to grind to 99. Why do rpgs pull this shit?
>>540982890>3 in D tier>7 in S>6 in BThis has to be the worst Yakuza tier list i have ever seen
>>540983271At least there isn't as much grinding in the beat em up ones. I have been running around in this shitty fucking sewers for days now.
>>540997362Okay?
>>540999528>just skip through whole parts of the game bro.I agree that the grinding is shit. But having the ability to do whatever you want with games is what makes PC feel soulless.

SOUL SOULLESS thread
>>540999502the soul meme finally makes sense to me now that i can understand the analogy.so you're saying soul is "made by someone who cares" and soulless is "made by someone who doesn't know shit and is just doing something for attention and money."

Games in this engine have sold better than every game made with every other engine ITT Combined.
>>540998131You got that one right OPCan't believe how good they've been able to make Monster Hunter Rise look on the Switch of all things
>>541000029MT framework makes Monster Hunter world run like shit, its clearly being pushed to it's limit and it's showing its age RE engine is a pretty good successor.
