So hey, I actually have content for the thread. Montaro. On the one, non-lovely hand, it's a cute, simple, sedately-paced endless runner.

On the other...

quote:

- Lift up highschool girl's skirts, protect your doge by panties.
- Collect Doge coins to unlock over 8 Doge costumes.

It's entirely given over to memes and my initial impression of it went south when I got two achievements before hitting Start. Most of the achievements seem to be related to buying new costumes. I unlocked a husky disguise and got a Moon Moon joke.

Anyway, it's not as terrible as it could be, which in this thread deserves some kind of trophy. If you wanna blow a buck on something cute, though, I'd recommend The :catstare: Games.

For when you aren't sure if you're a necrophile but really wish you were.

There's a zombie apocalypse tabletop game, All Flesh Must Be Eaten. You can build your own characters, but the books also provide a selection of pre-built archetypes like Fireman, Preacher, Soccer Mom. One of them, in an official book, is Necrophiliac. Among his gear is a van, duct tape, and a zombie.

Psst, check out the FATAL & Friends thread for more horrible games where you're supposed to be sat around a table looking other people in the face while describing your atrocities.

No human NPCs still sucks though. I mean at least throw some generic raiders in or something, that's half the loving fun of Fallout combat.

There's still super mutants, and there's a faction of horribly infected ghouls that fill the "people with guns" niche. But the general idea is that some people are gonna be the violent looting assholes they want to see in the world.

Speaking of, I should see if there's a goon guild in the works.

Dead or Alive has to be one of the most visually bland fighting games out there, like, I don't really play fighting games but I still at least know most of the Street Fighter characters, can recognize several Mortal Kombat and Soul Caliber characters, know that King of Fighters has the red trucker cap guy and the Shrine Maiden-Ninja girl, Killer Instinct has Sadako-with-a-spear and a dinosaur, Tekken characters are sort of a middle-ground between Street Fighter's cartoony designs and MK/SC edgelords, and the various anime fighting games are all fairly visually distinct in their designs, but my impression of DOA is "a bunch of random Asian swimsuit models punching each other."

They even leaned into it, I remember an ad for a DOA game where one of the testimonials was just "She kicks high." I don't think anyone buys them for the fighting.

By the way, Tekken also has a dinosaur. And two bears (Although I think one's just a palette swap of the other). And all I know of Killer Instinct is one character is just Literally A Skeleton.

Getting a bit back on topic, I've been watching someone play The Last Hope and there's one riveting experience. It's a world of terrifying gliding skeletons where things such as climbing a ladder are done by very slowly jumping upwards. That second preview video pretty much shows off the entire intense experience.

The second part of the series is called The Last Hope: Trump vs Mafia - North Korea:


And finally the long-awaited third part, The Last Hope: Atomic Bomb - Crypto War

I know that Moldova is a non-extradition country, but otherwise why is it there. And apparently the guy wanted to make a trump train joke but somehow failed to light on Trumporail.

I am actually mildly intrigued by Nick Beard The Fedora of Destiny. That is either a decent attempt at satire or playing it way too straight.

Also Teeth Skull Eight Bullet, because the way that logo is arranged makes it seem like they're meant to be the actual title and The Endless Empty is just a supertitle.

You can never be too sure in these situations. I was browsing mods for a game the other day and noticed three of them catering to or based on weird porn I was acquainted with, and I started giving everything else the side-eye. This was just in the public-facing Steam Workshop where everything is ostensibly family-friendly.

Honestly, it's a fair question, cringey nature of waving your fetish in the audience's face aside. The Kotaku article mentions I think 7000 words, but how many of them are just variations of "squish glurt blorp plap"?

No one is playing it for the story, but because there appears to be one (from the single screenshot in the article), it being decent readable would be a bonus.

Some of them probably do have experiences where they went to rape a character and it was a trap. In both senses of the word. I vaguely recall a Horrors of Porn (maybe? Was there a separate column for just plain hentai game reviews?) on the front page where one of the first choices you get is "rape her" and it leads directly to a game over.

Back when I was but a wee sprog, you couldn't browse warez or porn sites without finding one or two hacked Breakout or Qix roms where your reward was a heavily-dithered still from an old porno mag. And these were just the free* sites, I'm almost certain there was a thriving porn-hack industry behind the paywalls.

Does this even qualify as a game? Really? Pay £7 for this? Apparently this is relevant to me because I've been playing Resident Evil 2.
Serioustalk, those sorts of apps are apparently useful for training competitive FPS players. If it's any good, you can set the size and motion of targets, set the controls to exactly mimic Overquake or Doomnite or whatever you young whippersnappers are telefragging people in these days, and just train without being shot at or needing to queue ten minutes for a three-minute match. I wouldn't buy it, but for the half hour or so I was considering upping my game in Overwatch I got recommended three different ones by the tip & trick videos I was watching.

e: For the kind of people who would pay $80 for a mouse and $120 for a keyboard, 7 for an aim trainer is pocket change, and they would complain if the framerate was capped at 60.

Yeah a lot of old games just tied game speed directly to processor speed so if your PC was too fast the game was unplayable. In-game speed settings would allow you to just insert sleep(some number of cycles) commands to artificially slow things down.
My only experience with that was this little shareware game called Kill Barney, where on anything faster than a 286 your screen was just a seizure-inducing flashing array of purple dinosaurs that occasionally caught fire. As a bonus, when you tried to quit the game, it would ask if you were going to buy it. Answering no would drop you back into the game. Answering yes just quit the game as normal, because this was back when only internet browsers and MMOs habitually connected to the internet.

It's more that they're branching out into stuff where their buggy messes aren't tolerable.

In a giant single player game you can ignore it.
Less so in a multiplayer game where connection and data security matter.

Clearly this has taught them many valuable less- okay, no, can't keep a straight face while I say that. Hopefully they learned SOMETHING, anyway.

Like, as a first foray into online multiplayer, FO76 is a valiant attempt. It would probably garner a modest amount of positive press if it were a small game company's debut MMO, not a AAA developer using the Fallout license. We expect Bethesda to do better, though, and frankly I think we're justified in that expectation.
