Christ I was never too big on the whole "Magic: the Gathering's Avengers" thing they were doing with planeswalkers but this is just bad. Oh no, the vile necromancer is suddenly having a brief moment of possible regret before getting BTFO by NicoNico. Man this totally makes this slow motion death sad, and definitely doesn't make me hope Jace and Chandra don't just randomly explode so we can finally get back to stories about the planes, not the planeswalkers interacting with the plains.

Why would anyone pay for any card game at all? Pirate everything.

Please. Seb McKinnon is the only truly great thing about it these days. I miss Chippy. And Puddenhead.

i wasnt big on everquest, just seemed like it would eat too much of my time when there were so many other games to enjoy, but i knew people who loved it. i like listening to the soundtrack though, and i also liked the 3d elf titties on the boxes.

I've been messing around on this game for a while. Got a 45 Iksar SK. The game definitely has charm and you can see how closely WoW followed it early on.

I used to boot up P1999 every couple years to do a run through Blackburrow and Crushbone for the nostalgia. How's the server population for low level shit these days?

>>16377877

Correct. Good lighting can make shitty textures and models look fantastic. Even if the art direction isn't photorealistic, good lighting adds a ton to any scene.

>locked

Mark is so sensitive he doesnt even want you to praise playstation ironically.

What a fucking dumbass jew.

>>16378943

BING BING WAHOO

I honestly don't see how this thing will sell with the rumored specs below 500 bucks, isn't the PS4 pro by itself struggling to even get past 5 million? Even with Ps4 backwards compatibility a console over 400 bucks is a tough sell.

and if the price is even higher say 599 then the thing is dead in the water

>$1200 RTX card

People actually spend that much!? I just want to play videogames, not travel in fucking time!

>>16377837

But that’s why you ban them from the forum not lock their entire account and ban them from playing games they paid money for.

>>16377928

>>16377924

Thanks, lads. Already disabled it, so now it's just a matter of playing the waiting game and hope for the best.

>>16377754

>not true. you cant "sign your rights away."

It's not the same thing. When you buy software such as a game, you are buying a license to use that software. You don't "own" anything. It's less like a product that you own and more like a contract that you sign. If you break the terms of the contract, it is void and you no longer have the legal right to use the software, and theoretically you could be charged for using it although that almost never happens.

I think civil rights protections might apply to the customer in this case, because if I remember right the clause reads like "race, sex, sexual orientation, creed" and I cannot remember if political beliefs are included. However it's difficult to prove that the publisher did it for purely political reasons in most cases. I think we'd have to wait until the right case comes along where there is sufficient proof of malicious intent on the publisher's part and the victim has a competent lawyer.

>>16378914

>license, not purchase

A trademark can be lost due to "becoming generic", basically due to public stupidity. If everyone thinks of it as "purchasing a product", can the "licensing" bullshit stand? But maybe that argument died with physical releases.

It's about chasing a particular aesthetic.

Most indie games that use pixel-shit do so without understanding the limitations of the systems that brought about the aesthetics of those old games, so they just throw a bunch of pixels and chiptunes together and think they've done "retro".

Since I'm essentially a one-man band making everything myself, using these artificial limitations prevents the kind of feature-creep budget blowout on assets by sticking purposefully to lower-fidelity assets that still capture the essence of the type of game (and game console) I'm inspired by.

Devs from the indie clique are fuckwits, no mistake, and they're incompetent in every area including following simple technical standards that are clearly laid out for them, but that doesn't mean those technical limitations are themselves shit.

Stuff like Oniken and Odallus manage to capture the NES feel perfectly without being pozzed to shit.

>>16364302

It is? Wow, that's quite the disappointment.

>>16362692

theres plenty of games about being a hero but i never felt there were very many games about being a cop. maybe if you extended the definition of cop to include things like spectres from mass effect but even then it felt like there were more games themed around being a criminal.

what bothers me is how the villain games are often so "modern". guns and drugs are cool but theres not enough games where i play as a warlock or necromancer up to no good.

>hitman isn't a stealth game, it's a puzzle game

This argument is regularly made in regards to the genre as a whole, not just Hitman.

>you cant pull off most missions unless you don a disguise as the game isnt made with stealth in mind

Get fucking good.

>>16363375

>disguises aren't stealth because I say so

>ignoring the fact plenty of missions make disguises useless

I think if you take an interest in video games you should definitely have played a few of them. It's alright to not have played every single one but it's weird when people haven't played any of them.

Something doesn't stop being classic just because people on the internet don't like it.

>>16377258

Does something become classic when people on the internet do like it though?

>>16359653

just set everything to low and run it.

>>16366545

There's almost always a server populated every day, especially between 5-8pm EST. They usually don't die until relatively late like 11pm or so. Activity is fairly regular but the only caveat is which server gets seeded for that day; if yuropoor activity is fairly regular chances are it's one of the German servers that everyone will be on rather than the NA ones, which can hit your ping a bit.

All the servers being empty happens less often than one of them having people on it.

>PGI, the developer of MechWarrior Online, and Microsoft gave them the shaft and demanded they cease.

Then why in the hell did they name it MechWarrior? They could have come up with anything else as a name and been perfectly fine.

>>16376771

These people are the kind of obese fuckers that rock up to friend hosted LAN parties unashamedly with hardcore porn desktop wall papers, and sit there talking more about their favorite porn scenes and actors than about games, let alone playing them.

A brotherhood of moral obligation to sprint, leap, launch your body through the air, and connect your fist with the place their spine connects to their skull should be formed here and now so the rest of us can enjoy games without these endless, insipid, unwanted and unwarranted "muh dick" monologues from people who as far as I can tell are addicted to sexual content to a self-destructive extent.

>>16352830

Where the fuck did you get this? even after getting EA to publish his shit heap of a game, they couldn't change a few things or add whatever they want? Because they still went ahead with this fucking again, even after Mr. Shitface shit talked Kotick and everyone was kissing his ass while delivering an underwhelming game.

>Games that change genres midway through

>Spore is the example in the OP

I'm having deja vu. Did you make this thread before?

>>16349246

Spore started out as a pretty decent exploring-and-evolving game but then once your species reached the final phase it became a pretty awful RTS and City Builder. Why couldn't they just fucking remove all the strategy elements?

This is a complete pipe-dream given the current state of the industry, but I was talking to a lad awhile back about a game idea that starts and is marketed as just a tennis game (or any sport), but as you play someone comes and kidnaps your daughter at the court and it turns into a fps/detective game

>>16376792

I think a better question would be, how could we make a better one?

Co-op is the best thing about the game. If you don't mind Uplay, you should pick it up.

>>16376968

I'm referring to the netcode. There can be a lot of desync sometimes depending on who you're playing with.

>>16377006

>and you have to complete sequences to unlock things on the skill menu

My mistake. And I have to say that skills is a weird thing for AssCreed to implement.

>>16376981

definitely, the characters were great, the writing was weirdly good for ubishit, and the setting was neat with some nice set pieces. It was funny how they wrote themselves in a corner with showing how incompetent and selfish the assassins can be, then at the end they just had to make the main character evil "just because".

>>16377006

I suppose so long as the gameplay is fun the rest of those complaints will be tolerable, and I'm not surprised the netcode is terrible.

>>16325963

Good for Doug Ten Nipples. Genuinely nice guy.

>>16371665

Joe Head Joe and the music track to the bonus levels are absolutely the highlights of that game. I love how cartoony Doug could get at times, how much needed levity he often brought to games. It needs his touch now more than ever.

>>16376934

To be fair, like I mentioned in my previous post there's something that Doug brought to games that I hadn't seen before or since. Jim felt like playing a cartoon, and it felt like it encapsulated the attitude of the 90s extremely well. It was irreverent, silly, funny, and at no point ever took itself serious. And the only reason I'm taking it so seriously is because I haven't come across another game since Jim that felt so accurate as playing a cartoon which is a pretty amazing feat.

Well that and they had actual competition in the form of other things to watch on TV including stuff from other countries. There's like 1 show per year now anyone even pretends to give a shit about.

The face looks retarded because she's nervous, not smug.

Why are all the female characters so sexy?
