True. I worked in some pretty sketchy neighborhoods though and never felt at risk. Obviously anecdotal but there you go.

Do any of you remember an old screensaver from like the late 90s or early 2000s that was just a bunch of art? Like, it was a painting being made and as it went along, it'd just paint over and make a new painting, over and over. I remember one specific part where it'd paint a guy and then it'd paint a full moon and cover the guy in fur with him being a werewolf for halloween, but I can't for the life of me find any info about this thing ever even existing even though I saw it on damned near every computer as a kid.

It's very Swery. I have only seen an LP of it but I really enjoyed that. There's a lot of motion control inputs because it was made for the kinect, but the story is neat and then it ends on a cliffhanger. I know Swery was making the second season of it, but I don't know if/when it's coming out now, which is a shame because I want to know where the mystery goes.

This one, by SuperGreatFriend. He did an LP of Deadly Premonition years ago too, and that was very good.

The last of the hyrule warriors dlcs came out and the wii u finally let me update my game with it so now I can play as Ravio and Yuga :D

I hope for the next iteration (if there is one) that they go digging for more of the interesting side characters instead of just including more versions of the main ones, though. I mean, I think they might've tapped the main character thing dry but who knows, I've got a goddamned laundry list of characters I would love to see in those games and I hope to see at least a couple if they do a third one for the Switch.

FIND THE FISH!

lets hang out posted:

I once found a game called Dracula in London on a shareware cd, it was a board game where the players were characters from the book and would take turns investigating places in town looking for Dracula's coffin. When you actually entered a location looking for him it would change to be like a turn based rpg and players could move their characters around the place individually. Every time I found Dracula awake I would try to fight him which usually didn't go well.



I had the same experience except I didn't know it was supposed to be multiple players and I just played all the characters. I actually read Dracula afterwards and was surprised how many of the events that could happen in the game were right out of the book.

Also also, I hope one day there is a jojo's bizarre adventure warriors game. Idgaf if people have said that idea makes no sense, warriors games don't have to make sense dammit and it'd still be fun to go around beating up on zombies, vampires, nazis, gangsters, cowboys, and prisoners

I'm not a big fan of the idea of any kind of JJBA game, because reducing it to combat would be a waste of the IP.

I think the best ways you could make an "authentic" JJBA game would be to

A. Make asura's wrath but jjba themed
B. An adventure game along the lines of Don't poo poo Your Pants (I'm being 100% serious here)

but I think as just a spinoff crossover thing, a warriors game would be fun. I mean, hyrule warriors isn't a true zelda game and it's pretty fun :P

That first one is close to what the JJBA PS2 game ended up being, I think, it never got a western release though.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I think a big part of what makes JoJos so good as an action series is how flexible and varied the action is. Like, compared to something like DBZ or Bleach or any of JoJo's many contemporaries, it's a lot less "people shooting lasers at each other and sword fighting" and a lot more of the fights being weird, specific situations and lots of instances of people using their surroundings to get ahead. It makes it difficult to systemise it into a neat set of gameplay mechanics that also really "get" what JoJos is about.

FWIW though, I think the 7th Stand User combined JoJos and RPG mechanics in some really good ways. The game giving you a stand at the start and essentially locking you into a very specialised combat role that you didn't directly choose (single target DPS, Multiple enemies, debuffs, whatever) and giving you very weird stands too, is a really cool move that fits with the idea of Stands being weird and specialised rather than a well-rounded toolset. I also really like that the random encounters in the game are just lots and lots of long-range remote stands, and that story explanation as to why the game has lots of enemies on the map becomes a gameplay feature: if you hunt down the optional boss fights against the owners of these remote stands, then you can remove them from the random encounter pool and make navigating the world a lot easier.

could have sworn there was one of these sites that collected OpenCanvas recordings but I can't find it. Queeky apparently has a bunch of recordings but of course that's all trapped on the web page

I guess these days you could just put together a YouTube screensaver playlist or something
