Been playan Baba Is You. I'm an idiot, so I need to sleep before figuring out shit.
I just want to be reassured: this game doesn't have--for lack of a better term--"Sierra Games shit," right? As in I can trust this game, and it's really me who's the idiot.
In general, I always ruin games for myself by spoiling them because I somehow convince myself that I've softlocked it or the game is bugged out/literal programming error or it's "Sierra Games" bullshit or cetera.
I wish there was a videogame review that ranked games on a sort of "Sierra Games" meter, where 0 is like "Armed & Delirious" and 10 represents not necessarily a 'good' game but just a 'you can "trust" it' game like idk Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest or something.

>>283499
Baba is completely fair and trustworthy, but depending on how completionist you decide to go there's a lot of stuff you won't think of regardless. Can't really talk about it without spoiling some neat reveals, though. Just keep on keeping on, and don't give money to Hempuli.

Yes.

It's the same logic of women wearing costumes/lingerie for sex instead of just stripping naked, it's often even better.

>Sometimes a sexy outfit can be sexier than full nudity, i agree.
>BUT, in your specific example, the DOA games, full nudity probably doesn't feel as erotic because the character models while good looking, lack many details that would make full nudity meaningful.
>It's not about just adding nipples and calling it a day, DOA's girls lack details in certain areas like knees, elbows, feet, soles, armpits, navel (the belly button looks like dimple or a scar, and it is also too high) and the groin area.
>So, in that particular case, sexy outfits are more sexy than full nudity because in that case your brain will fill the gaps (the details that the naked models lack).

IIRC only the Warrior can draw the sword with high honor. For everyone else high honor is basically useless afaict. Your only concern is low honor causing all the guards to be on the lookout for you.

>>281654
Low honor basically doubles as a criminal heat system.

When it comes to RPG + text adventures hybrids, it's usually just MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons, the original MMORPGs) that do that, except MUDs tend to underdeliver on the adventure game aspects, ironically.

Eamon is a single player text (and only text!) adventure/rpg and there's a shitload of scenarios for it. Most of them are for Apple II though, so you have to run the disk images in an emulator, even though it's just a BASIC program. In theory someone could write a very simple, portable Apple BASIC (integer or applesoft) that's sufficient to run this game. Because it doesn't do anything fancy at all, so there's no need to emulate the entire Apple II hardware.
And there's plenty of other old games like this, but without a well-documented engine in BASIC. So those are more like one-shots, unless the original author himself used the engine to make several games.
I guess there's also various BBS door games, and notably this Tunnels & Trolls game for Amiga:
http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/
In theory the source could be modified to run on any OS, but I dunno how much of that code is Amiga-specific...

>I imagine first-person sports haven't been done much for the same reason first-person stealth hasn't been done much: the level of situational awareness needed to do it in real life is impossible in a video game, so to make the gameplay work you either have to cripple your opponents or pile on layers of crutches like third-person and minimaps to compensate.
Crysis was alright in that regard, the cloak mode was somewhat broken but not invincible since IR cameras could still spot you as could Best Koreans when you walked in front of them, the rest of the "crutches" came in the form of hyper-realistic destructible jungle foliage which while doing a good job of hiding (You) also had plenty of blind spots both (You) and the enemy could and would use, and the risk of accidentally bumping into a Korean searching around on his own was always present even if you tagged "everyone" before sneaking closer.

sage for off topic and because games where gameplay and grafigs are in perfect sync to this degree aren't made anymore.

I'm replaying TECMO World Cup Soccer on NES and it still plays great football. It's not a simulation by any means, and I'm more of a simulation fan, so things like a complete lack of fouls, alongside a very end to end nature and high scoring matches, wouldn't really be my thing... but it's done so well here and still feels very much like football, in some matches I dominate with ease, then I proceed to getting beaten up badly, then I'll get a match that's decided in small details where both teams took the lead at some point, it replicates the drama of international football perfectly well and the variety of shots from the wing alone makes it worth playing for me, always loved those goals where a player crosses and it ends up being an unstoppable shot, satisfying to pull off.

Anyone play Igneous? It seems pretty decent.

Not sure if any of you fags care, but there's an actual decompilation of Cave Story now. This means we might get a version of Wind Fortress that isn't tied to the Nicalis ports at some point.

>>283007
I wanna decompile into Curly.

>>281590
Is it still available anywhere? My Googlefu isn't showing anything up.

Even for the tards that bought the deluxe edition, it only comes out tomorrow anon.
Only leak I can find about online is some spic uploading an hour worth of gameplay videos, not the game itself leaking.

>>283545
Isn't it censorstation exclusive at first? And it would have denuvo on PC anyway.

What's a good video downloading program that isn't super complicated? I was using A-tube catcher for a good while before switching to YT-DLP, but now that I've been thinking about it I never actually got an opinion on whether or not either of those were actually good to use.
>>283438
I played the wii version of TFS, it was fun from what I remember. They also included the whole 1989 game that you can unlock by finding a secret potion. I think.
I also remember having a lot of similar feelings about PoP:'08. Though the one major difference is that the ending enraged me to no end. Especially with how the only sequel was a DS game. Now that you mention it, I can understand what they were going for, seeing as it was definitely the set-up for a new series of games, and they probably thought they'd be able to resolve the story and have the Prince come to some kind of conclusion that didn't involve dooming the world to destruction, but at the time it pissed me off. The enemy and boss designs were really cool though, and the game itself looked wonderful, but the inability to die was a little silly.
>>283534
I guess if you wanted it to end there you just had to exit the game.

Do you prefer your Ashley in Tight Mode, or Loose Mode?

>>283625
Gamecube mode.

>>283236
I probably should at some point, But I like playing more modern games since it's easier to read pixelated kanji is a pain from what I experienced just from casually loading games up in a emu.
>played through  2021  and don't really remember much other than some dialogue and some plot points

>>283234
You're wrong, it's largely a visual novel where you can move around, the puzzles are very obvious hardly any more complicated than modern day slop. It's a fun story sure, but don't go thinking it's the pinnacle of gaming, because it isn't and it's certainly far from perfect.

>I really like KOF XV and that's the game that really got me into 2D fighters, but it was woefully lacking.
KOF XV was pretty good but lacks single player content.

>I just wanted to talk about how much I hated those things.
>I just really, really fucking hate so many of the SF6 character designs.
So that's even more rent free than I thought, given you're telling us you brought them up as a total non-sequitur rather than because of any kind of coherent conversational flow.

I don't like Kimberly or Marisa either. Manon is alright, but her animations look really weird. Lily is cute. AKI is good.

>>283108
>Does no one remember that people HATED SF5's art design and favored that of SF4?
<DAE anyone remember bad thing and good thing????? upboats???????
SF4's art style in vanilla was VERY rough, especially compared to the lavish sprites from SF3 or the clean art direction from SF Alpha. As the series went on, it got better and that's what people who follow the game remember; ugly dudes like Fei Long and Honda and Sagat don't get remembered for having elbows made of polygons, whereas hot babes like Poison and Ibuki leave a stronger impression. People remember that Rose had a cool DLC costume for the game's final costume pack and not that her jawline looked like a man made of steel blocks.

The same thing happened with SFV, although that game never really seemed to settle on a defined art style since characters like Abigail and Alex (both early-mid DLC) look deformed, Chun (at launch) looked the best she ever has in 3D, and Akira (final season) looked inhumanly skinny. It's easy to pick and choose the good stuff or bad stuff to believe whatever you want.

Through a custom client-side mod, you can download it from here (including source code): https://files.fatbox.moe/8i1294.7z
>regardless whether someone talked or not.
Some people talked alright. Just not anons.
>Is it Goldberg or SSE?
The game archive in OP uses plain, regular Goldberg.

Sven's voice chat uses Steam's API to capture audio input and encoding it, and for decoding that same audio.
The encoded voice data is sent to the game server itself, which then sends to other clients. This is opposed to my previous assumption that the game used some Steam specific channel to transmit and receive voice data.
The reasons why I didn't implement the codec in Goldberg itself are:
>Goldberg needs Microsoft's Visual C/C++ compilers when building for Windows, or else Steam's interfaces' virtual tables' layouts break (they're compiler specific)
>When building for Linux with Clang, some virtual functions' ABI would change (for example, an 8 byte long parameter would be passed through two 32-bit registers instead through a pointer to it)
