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.
That's it for now. Reminder to not fret about post speed. We are here for the topest of lels and the discussion.
Please note, we are looking for more banners and flags, so feel free to post them here. Also any suggestions you may have for the future of the board, we'd be happy to hear.
Thanks and enjoy your stay. Also, threads posted before the management updates will remain, but do not use them as a basis of how to post new threads in the future.

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.

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.

4x General Discussion
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.

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'.
You had potential, but everything started saying no from the get-go.
Spiderman Quake… I love the sound of that everytime.

>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.

Take Silent hill 2, it gives a sense of dread and has terrible combat but has an amazing story, symbolism, and atmosphere to it which makes it an amazing game. It wouldn't be described as fun it would be engaging because of the experience with the story.
What are other examples that don't fit the bill of "fun" and continue to engage people
Video Games that engage you in a way you wouldn't describe as "Fun"
people always bring up fun as an argument for a video game which is ridiculous because fun is subjective. I feel like they use the term in order to describe a game that brings happiness or empowerment or a good feeling to them. Video games can do more than just give us that kind of game and that shouldn't be the measure of quality for that game.Take Silent hill 2, it gives a sense of dread and has terrible combat but has an amazing story, symbolism, and atmosphere to it which makes it an amazing game.

Nyarlathotep is a good villain but look a the persona universe. It is always plagued by a different unknown force throughout each of the games. In persona 1 pandora tries to erase reality, In persona 3 the personification of death is coming to destroy humanity, and persona 4 izanami is plaguing a town for her own games. Even with philemon in persona 1 & 2 as guides for the player, even though he is seen in a different realm and able to give people the power of personas, he is not omnipotent. He is shown vulnerable and when having to deal with creatures like nyarlathotep. Philemon is not the main cause or end all be all of personas either. as shown in persona 3 you have the latent ability and it is activated by and evoker and in P4 it is activated by facing your true self.
Every enemy they have faced is supposedly omnipotent or powerful in some way. Pandora is able to wipe out reality, Nyarlathotep is able to destroy the earth because of a rumor, Death is able to kill everyone(cause its death), and Izanami is the creator of the world in shintoism mythology. but in the scheme of things they are no powerful than some of the other creatures in the SMT universe.
Nyx is a grunt in SMT

Nyarlathotep is a grunt and a boss
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Nyarlathotep
Even Philemon is a persona summon http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Nodens
What Philemon and Nyarlathotep keep saying that they reside in humanity, just like other personas. Which leads me to this. Every creature is caused by man or is a part of mankind. They are there to assist or destroy people or persons. Like the individual persona to each an every protagonist there is a persona that is an extension of their will or their emotions manifest or etc. that are created in this world and are an extension or facet of a part of mankind that we must deal with or acknowledge in our daily lives. Nyarlathotep is just one of those that happened to be made manifest in Persona 2 (1 technically).
I hope that they do another creature or demon besides him because he is, ultimately, one of many faces in the persona universes.
Why Nyarlathotep Shouldn't be in Persona 5
Since there is a new persona game coming out it's obvious that people want things that are in the past persona games. I honestly don't want nyarlathotep in because I feel that putting him in another persona game would ruin the idea of persona in general.Nyarlathotep is a good villain but look a the persona universe. It is always plagued by a different unknown force throughout each of the games.
