/v2/ - The King's Vidya

As of last night this board is under new management. Please take a moment to review our guidelines below.

Welcome to the new and improved /v2/. This board is for the discussion of video games and video game culture, but with a touch of class. This board is not intended to replace >>>/v/, as >>>/v/ is quite a nice board, but it is mean to compliment it…like a fine glass of wine with some aged cheese. /v2/'s rules are a bit more strict than that of /v/, but with good reason. We even have our own fancy Custom theme, which you can check out by hitting the Custom button on the bottom of the page. For more general posting, head to >>>/v/

Rules

1. Act as a gentleman would. The definition is open to interpretation, but a certain level of class is expected when posting. Criticism is more than welcome, but the inability to hold ones spaghetti will be laughed at by the best dressed of us here.

2. Please stay on topic and avoid posting duplicate threads. While we are not the "enlightened" ones here, the idea is that we can uphold ourselves to a higher standard than your sub-average /v/ poster.

3. Only Gentleman's dubs allowed. Use only the classiest way of 'checking them' when attempting to get doubles. Please note that dubspamming is frowned upon in this fine establishment.

4. NSFW is allowed, unspoilered, as long as it is high class NSFW. Poor people's NSFW must be spoilered. Have some taste, anon.

5. This board is open only to adults 18+. Underage posters will be banished from this bastion of glorious conversation.

DID SOMEONE SAY SHITPOSTING?!
SHIT /v/ SAYS
>>>/svs/

>THIS BOARD IS STILL HERE

LOL /svidya/ ALREADY HAS LIKE TWICE AS MANY POSTS AS THIS PLACE

THIS BOARD WAS DEAD 5 MONTHS AGO AND IT'S STILL DEAD

For those of you who came here to post unironically and want serious discussions, the board >>>/videogames/ is actually used.

While I understand your wish to depart from the biggest vidya board, I must say that you are abandoning the fight like cowards. The cancer that has inflitrated our home is easy to repel - only some elitism would be necessary for assimilation and banishment. We are spreading our ranks too thin by moving onto our own, niche boards. Speedy discussion along with high quality is possible, you must only fight for it.

I, for one, welcome our new, superior /v/.

What are your favorite fangames? I've been playing the demo of AM2R, and I'm blown away. The item collection rate is a bit faster than what I typically expect from a Metroid game, but the movement and combat are superb, maybe even better than the official 2D Metroids.

Hello, gentlemen; I began my first play through of Ps:T today. What are your thoughts on the game?

So far, I am very impressed with the writing. The combat seems like it has potential, but it's very rough around the edges.

My current stats are…

Wis: 19
Int: 15
Dex: 13
Cha: 11

Playing on the hardest difficulty, which has already been challenging.

What are your thoughts on this game?

Please spoiler any discussion of the plot, gentlemen.

games you need to reflect on again and appreciate story, mechanics of game play, or experience other parts in you didn't get to do the first time.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND POST WHAT GAME YOU'RE CURRENTLY PLAYING THROUGH

Pic related, in the final dungeon and ready for it to end so I can finally get to some other games in my backlog

>IntSys is too busy working on this instead of making a follow-up to Awakening
What does /v2/ think of what we've seen of this game so far? Would you rather those resources had been allocated to getting another 3DS FE out sooner?

I find it kind of stupid that they aren't capitalizing on Awakening's success as soon as possible.

Hello friends! This evening I'd like to open a discussion on what is the best of the 4x genre. I've just begun playing Endless Legend, and while I haven't found my niche in it yet, I do like some of the choices the game has made as far as design goes.

I must admit; I am a sucker, for what the less fortunate of us would called "casuals", Civilization 5. But I want to know what you all believe to be the most timeless classic of all 4x games.

Post one, rate one

You see this game, /v2/?

This game is an awful piece of trash that never truly deserved the title of Bionic Commando.

The story was awful with an equally awful twist at the end. The linearity of it made it the worst Bionic Commando as you couldn't pick where you wanted to go. Pointless kill challenges that got upgrades that rarely did anything for you in addition to limited ammo for the special guns.

But… with all its faults, I loved this game because it had one thing that no game has captured since.

The absolute essence of swinging.

Some people would look at me and go 'But Gentle-anon, what about Spiderman games'? I would look at them and say 'You're right, Spiderman games had great at swinging as well'

But spiderman never had multiplayer swinging. It never got Quake style maps that had you swinging so fast and aiming that you had the thrill of going as fast as f-zero with skill while shooting opponents doing the same out of the air. If you slowed down, you were dead. If you didn't know the maps, you were weapon starved and even armor. All you had was your grapple and your pistol, but if you were good, that's all you needed.

So to this shit game, it's shitty net-code and short life, Here's a toast, Bionic Commando 09'.

>F.E.A.R. Online, the free-to-play "horror shooter" from Aeria Games, will launch through Steam for PC on October 17, it was announced today. The game was announced last summer, and is in development at Korean studio Inplay Interactive.

>You can play the game ahead of then, however, as an open beta for F.E.A.R. Online will be offered through the Aeria Games website on October 8. You can sign up for that beta at the game's website today.

>F.E.A.R. Online underwent an "extensive redesign," which included various "gameplay adjustments" following the game's closed beta, Aeria Games said in a statement today. All of this will make the title a "truly unique first-person shooter game."

>Included with F.E.A.R. Online are ten multiplayer maps and various game modes, one of which is a co-op mode that supports up to four players. The game's storyline runs parallel to that of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origins.

>4 player online co-op

Who else excite? Anyone else remember playing the free FEAR Online when Gamespy still worked?
