Unfinished thread, just like Hideo Kojima's game LOL.

Yeah I don't want more missions of killing Soviet soldiers and protecting the based mujahideen thx. MGS was always shit

>>3153 Yeah you can tell the extent of Kojimmy's hollywood poisoning on its portrayal of russians in these games. A russian Hind-D in MGS1 being in an American military base to serve as a boss fight for no reason. The enemy soldiers in MGS2 are russian despite both the tanker and the plant being american property located in fucking NYC. MGS3 features soviets as enemies and has the KGB and GRU fighting each other in gunfights wtf? Also Volgin is by far the most deranged villain the series bar none and he happens to be soviet russian hmm curious. PW Zadornov was a complete caricature but I'll give that a slight pass because everything in that game was absurd. Granted, americans tend to serve as "bigger" badguys but that's always portrayed as a twist. were there any russians in MGS4? I kinda deleted that game from my mind

Currently doing NES FF1 using 4 Master Monks.

>>1537 Is that even fun?

I challenged myself to play one retro game daily

>>1538 It wasn't as bad as I expected because of their massive damage output. Most bosses didn't last a single turn. I'll finish it at some point... can't train in the last dungeon without an exit spell.

Recently beat Descent on Insane difficulty with a rule of no mid-level saving allowed. Maybe it's just because I learned what to expect about surprises around corners at some point, but I really feel like the middle of the game where it completely swarms you with homing missile-launching Super Hulks and hitscan insta-firing class 1 drillers is actually the hardest part. I was constantly struggling to make it to the next level with a good score bonus to earn just a few extra lives to survive the next stage. In the final stages, however, I was running around with 10+ lives across levels until the end. It's unfortunate, but gitting gud at Descent is really about either engaging enemies so far away that it doesn't activate their aggression or having foresight about the level design and making liberal use of homing and smart missiles to kill enemies around corners where they can't shoot. It's a shame this game didn't have some more fair enemy variety, the map design gets very cool in the later levels. Moving on to Descent II now, and it's amazing how much of an improvement over its predecessor it is. More interesting enemies, more weapons to tackle them in different ways, and the map design gets balls crazy already on the 2nd stage in the game!

CHADley is the single greatest addition to FF conceivable. Can't wait til he rams his Seph-clone, materia-enhanced PENIS right into Cloud's cross-dressing BUSSY.

I see Squeenix still hasn't figured out how to make anything other than creepy hollow doll faces.

>>112 >The ghosts that can change the timeline of events that are from the future What? Was this in the original?

>>114 This explains what I was feeling pretty well. The irony of a large video game corporation remaking a game that critiques large corporations and softening the edge / changing the focus of the criticism is pretty funny. The anti-corporate theme just seems absurd when combined with the white-washing of Avalanche, the deaths of the sub-characters, etc.

>>114 Maybe you and anyone in general should check out what the PC version looks like modded with the Because retranslation which restranslates it to more closely follow the original Japanese script. Nothing more voluntary, communitarian, and syndicalistic than partaking in community fanmodding and media in general.

Law = tankiddies Chaos = anarkiddies Neutral = ENLIGHTENED CENTRISM

Neutral is the only alignment that ever makes sense. If you go law, you effectively enter slavery - all in service of a God that will destroy the world anyway. If you go chaos, it will just lead to the wipe-out of humanity because humans are not as strong as demons. Those that survive mainly become part-demon at that. Going neutral allows you to avoid slavery and the destruction of humanity (until YHVH gets bored). It effectively gives us the world we have now - which we can change in much the same way as we try now.

>>523 As far as identifying the alignments with actual political ideologies, identifying Neutral with anarchists makes more sense considering it's focus on autonomous action and humanist ideals. While they explicitly call Chaos anarchist on SMT4A it's fairly obvious that it was originally intended to be a parallel for japanese fascism and in most games it takes the form of some kind of enlightened anprim darwinism, particularly in Strange Journey. The true centrists are The White. >>524 None of the Law-aligned options ever turn into straight-up slavery (from an economic point of view), but still, it really depends on the game. SMT4's version of Law, for example, doesn't end up requiring any enforcement of authority and resembles post-human communism more than anything else, directly changing 'human nature' itself to create a more peaceful, selfless and understanding society, where conflict is either non-existent or resolved without much issue. Obviously this doesn't really make sense from our particular point of view, looking more like soft slavery than anything else, but then again, what makes returning to a previous, less organized state of humanity more appealing, exactly? Ultimately the way the megaten universe works means that even this return is just a temporary pause to the apocalypse, and that only the physically mighty (in the most literal sense) get to set the rules. So you might as well make sure that the good you do is permanent.

>>521 I really do enjoy an smt post but regarding your question then no he wasn't right per say due to the Axiom or the Great Will having perfect reason to oppose him he's basically the main villain behind everything but regarding Law vs Chaos it's very interesting

>>523 Law is fascist There's no materialist route in smt games.

>>2897 Never realized that was a BAFTA. Pretty funny Rare.

>>2894 They already do that with sanic and megaman games.

>>2894 /v/irgins are definitely too retarded to make videogames.

>>2823 Lol if you think videogames are art wait till you hear about books or movies Videogames fucking SUCK

Hopefully the standards of prize events in the Loicenced Kingdom will continue being irrelevant within the general industry as companies are likely perceptive to the detrimental risk to the appeal of their goods that following such a framework would possibly bring.

>>2801 >self-loathing debordian breadtube humour for marketing ultimately funny how detournément was anticipating changes in the production of cultural commodities rather than acting as any form of propaganda

>>2801 Have they announced another game from Dennaton yet?

Also the new far cry seems to be based on cuba. No doubts it will be anti-socialist

>>2820 Speaking of Cuba, lately I've been fucking around with random NES roms and found out that the Japanese version of the game Guerilla War is straight up called "Guevara", you play as Che and Fidel and it opens with "Dedicated to Che Guevara, hero of Cuban revolution", while the Batista troops are portrayed as cowards and rapists. SNK is unexpectedly based.

>the future's future has been cancelled Is this a deliberate Mark Fisher reference or what

>$2.99 USD Remember when molleindustria made these things as flash games and they were free?

>>2276 This. Violence isn't just part of politics, it's the father of it.

>>2280 You couldve got it in the anti-racism bundle along with like 1000 other games for $5, smh I would attach it but it's too big, sorry

>>2280 I didn't buy it because I was short in my virtual wallet by 0.01 cent so yeah, I torrented it. Pretty nice for a friday afternoon. Pretty good in a sense, made me remember to check what can be offered in a close sense to the agricultural workers and little owners in my context. And laugh a bit with the shit the tech suggestions were. >>2276 "The USA is the only country withouth coups because it doesn't have a US embassy"

>>2289 Yeah, me too. Wait a second https://mega.nz/file/eN8k2ISa#qiKAsLGV1nHBdJS5xgQ8vfR7dp5ssaZZwsKXGnBKL_U This is the one I downloaded. So yeah, check it with your antivirus and you have save almost 3 dollarinos.

>>2233 >pulling out heh

I'd like to see a fighting game tournament put together by players who actually care about good games instead of sucking off the latest hype trash by developers and publishers determined to kill their own games. Sadly, such things are impossible.

>>2243 The FGC is constantly organizing events. Covid has thrown a wrench into muh locals but even then there's still online. TeamSpooky on Twitch organizes weekly DBZ, GBFVS and KOF tourneys for example. I wish they were bigger, but they won't grow if (You) don't participate as audience or player.

>>2248 no, pixelfun is run and inhabited by inbred fascists on reddit. get out of there
