hi, I'm from /mu/ and desperately want to get into video games, but I don't want to play any entry-level pleb shit. would rather avoid that stuff entirely
I have no idea about games for the most part but I have played and completed a few as a kid
so, what are some patrician games, /v/?
pic related
my favorite game of the few I've played
>>316503835
Earthbound is entry-level kiddo
>>316504021
I know, that's why I'm asking for more patrician stuff
Sorry if unclear
>>316503835
Play dark souls
There are no patrician games. Gaming is a childish hobby, so nobody on /v/ is going to respect or revere you for your gaming taste; they'll just ridicule you regardless. You're better off just finding a genre you love and sticking to it, and not caring what people in this shithole think.
Looks like you love Earthbound, so check out Mother 3. No official release, but ROMs on the Internet have been unofficially translated, so look into that. What consoles/handhelds do you have?
You want patrician, you get patrician. I hope you don't suck at games though.
If you want to look like a huge hipster just play Pathologic ( make sure to call it mor utopia )
Video games are for manchildren, no such thing.
King's Field
Mort the Chicken
Immercenary
Undertale (it's only patrician if you then claim to hate it after playing)
Majuu Ou
A Dog's Life
Play these gems to get started on the path to true gaming enlightenment.
>>316504186
This.
Play dark souls 1. Hate your life while learning it. Love your life when you git gud. Then you won't be able to play anything outside the souls series. Hard to explain but just do it if you want difficulty.
if you want to play patrician games just for the sake of not looking like a pleb you're already the pleb anon.
To answer your question, SMT does sound like the kind of franchise /mu/ would enjoy and it's pretty damn great.
>>316503835
Entry level is called entry level for a reason, you wouldn't buy the most expensive bike if you don't even know how to ride one.
>>316504259
Nothing is patrician the whole ideology is intended for children looking to join the upper echelon and end up choking on their own elitism
>>316503835
If you are from /mu/ you will love LISA's soundtrack
>>316503835
Dwarf Fortress
Since you're from /mu/ you should play the pokemon mystery dungeon games. They have jammin tunes and behind the childish shell is a really fun dungeon crawler.
>>316504596
It's a meme, really. All it means is a mix of obscurity, difficulty, and actual quality.
>>316503835
>a hipster from /mu/ only wants to play hipster games and doesn't want to start with the logical games and work his way up
I'm not surprised. You probably also pretend to like certain music over music that's obviously good but you have to pretend like it isn't because it's popular.
>>316503835
You sound exactly like someone from /mu/.
I'm assuming you're just emulating things on PC. Try XCOM and git gud, faggot.
>unironically falling for the pleb/patrician meme
>trying to look for patrician games
lmao
>>316503835
Try the Stalker series, it's basically a hipster version of Fallout
Here's a pretty obscure game you might enjoy.
>>316503835
well based on your favorite game you've got great tastes already
>>316503835
hotline miami, various sim cities, and any NES capcom game all have great music
Psychonauts
It's hard to differentiate between pleb/patty with gameplay, though shit like call of duty is obviously pleb
When gaming started to develope, it also tried to become more accessible thus the lack of Patric games
>>316504186
thanks, I actually own this and played it once!
>>316504259
hmm, thanks for the insight but I'd rather not look at it that way
>>316504281
what's the title in english
>>316504326
thanks
>>316504459
thank you so much, will look into all of them
>>316504501
that's not why. I'm just interested in more challenging/obscure/experimental games and want my games taste to reflect my music taste, and I will check out SMT
>>316504639
thank
>>316504878
nope.
>>316505140
own the first one, thanks!
Since you're liking the who rpg thing why not get into different rpg games? Try paper mario and the thousand year door. It's a amazing long story where you actually feel like you're going on a adventure
this is the IAOTS of /v/
>>316505441
>not paper mario 64
come on now
>>316503835
>what are some patrician games, /v/?
Just go back.
>>316503835
>>but I don't want to play any entry-level pleb shit
Play pic related until you can 1cc the entire game and beat Evaccanneer DOOM>implying anyone that browses 4chan could ever do that
>>316505556
What else would you expect from a board filled with teenagers?
>>316505405
That title is Umihara Kawase. It's a thinking man's platformer
>>316505446
Deus Ex is more universally loved by gamers than ITAOTS is loved by music fans. It's better to compare Deus Ex with an album like Beach Boys' Pet Sounds
Also, OP, try to get a hold of the first two Thief Games. They're like 3 dollars a piece on Steam
And you NEED to play Shmups. Find some way to play DoDonPachi or Touhou to start with.
>>316505405
Only released in Japan. The name is "Umihara Kawase Shun". I recommend the DS port "Umihara Kawase Shun Second Edition Kanzenban." There's no text outside of the menus so it doesn't require any knowledge of Japanese.
>>316503835
jesus fuck for the love of god just get some fucking perspective or kill your'reself
>>316503835
Honestly, you're probably better off not playing them tbqh.
>>316504459
>Majuu Ou
good taste brah
>>316505584
There's a few crazy motherfuckers on /shmup/ who probably can.
>>316503835
Kuuyaku Megami Tensei
Phantasy Star
Uncharted Waters
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.
>>316504259
This applies to everything. Have you seen how upset /mu/ gets when anyone mentions metal? Don't pretend this shit is exclusive to vidya. Every fandom is bad.
Play Fate Stay Night.
It wouldve won a nobel prize if it wasnt a porn game.
>>316503835
Bloodborne
Final Fantasy VI, don't bother with the rest of the series, wait for VII remake
Demon Souls and Dark Souls
Persona 4 Golden if you don't mind feeling like a weeb
Dota 2 if you wanna get into MOBA's
>>316505971
They only claim to play STGs and don't actually ever do so.
how about you play a game you like because you find itfun
>>316506249
They turned me on to some good stuff. There was also a dude uploading Mushihime webms and doing some crazy shit.
>>316504491
This right here. Finishing your first run in dark souls must be comparable to gauging ones own asshole.
Tell everyone ever recommended you to play dark souls to eat a big fat dick, that shit is awful, lowest common denominator, its only merit is to bring back actual punishments for fucking up in a long age of handholding and its combat is clunky and just above average.
Plus, most of its fanbase, even on /v/, especially on /v/, are gigantic faggots
>>316505854
>It's better to compare Deus Ex with an album like Beach Boy's Pet Sounds
is it just because it's almost universally loved or because it's melancholy and super influential to games like Pet Sounds was to music?>>316506098
oh yeah totally, the metal shit on /mu/ is annoying as fuck and I love metal
just to clarify, I couldn't care less about pleb/patrician. I love and enjoy Pink Floyd, Beatles, etc as well as more "patrician" stuff
the only reason I specified in this thread is because I wanted to make a "what can I play?" thread without the same shit getting posted
>>316506367
Oh, so the opposite of /fgg/? I'm actually pretty surprised. I guess people on here can do it as long as it's single player.
"Entry level" games are some of the best games, such as pic related. Hipster games are bad. In gaming, games are popular because they're good and they deserve it (this doesn't mean all popular games are good, but is just a general statement). People are always starved for a good game to play, so games that aren't so well known get posted around the internet and eventually it catches on and becomes well known; hipster / "advanced" games become entry level / popular due to word of mouth.
>>316506830
>skyward sword
>talos pretentious-ciple
what the fuck lmfao
>>316506830
>that format
Special snowflake/10.But hey, I like most of these games. 16/17, wasn't a fan of Skyward Sword. Barely included Smash 4 because it's still an enjoyable game with friends.
>>316503835
Pic related OP
Cave story
Bunny Must Die
Emulate 1945
>>316505945
That game's just okay. It has a very cool concept, but it doesn't do anything interesting with it.
>>316506626
Deus Ex and Pet Sounds are both productions that were unanimously acclaimed and super influential, yes. Best possible comparison between two mediums.
>>316506513
Ignore this guy. He's a good example of the ubiquitous Dark Souls hater who's always talking about how bad the fanbase is because he can't produce actual criticisms for the game (Clunky but above average? make up your mind, peon)
>>316506826
Yup
>>316507106
Another one
>>316507041

>>316506513
All those people who told you to get good weren't actually kidding. If you were good at the game you would enjoy it.
>>316503835
Charles?
>>316503835
If you like Earthbound you should play Mother 3!
Try The Last Remnant. about as patrician as it gets if you like JRPGs.
>>316503835
>>316507227
Goemon's Great Adventure is far superior to Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.
>>316506826
FGG is awful until you find someone looking for games. The problem is actually finding someone who wants to play what you want to play, unless what you want to play is Ultra or fucking Tekken.
AI War: Fleet Command. Not recommended at all for common folk/plebs. It manages to blend 4K, Real-Time Strategy and Tower Defenses quite beautifully.
>>316507227
hahaha what the hell is this
>>316503835
Play pic related, OP. Best open world RPG of all time, imo.
>>316507227
>Magical Pop'n
Good shit
OP, if you're a fan of Earthbound, that says to me that you'd probably like other nontraditional JRPGs. To that end, I suggest Live A Live, it's another SNES JRPG that was never officially released in English, but it's got a really great translation job, and essentially you play a series of small stories all set in different genres.
What other games have you enjoyed?
>>316507393
It isn't a chart of what's better it's a chart of preferences dude. Though Great Adventure is the superior game I prefer the atmosphere and mediocre 3D platforming of Mystical Ninja.
>>316506949
>>skyward sword
It actually has good combat, something most other Zelda games cannot say. It's better than your typical "mash B / spam spin attack to win" Zelda. They also cut the bullshit and didn't include a big open area with no content in it, such as a huge field or ocean like in other Zelda games. It's just pure quality combat from start to finish. Since there's no filler content, you're always doing something fun and meaningful.
>>talos pretentious-ciple
How was it in any way "pretentious"? You clearly don't even know what that word means. It is the best 3D puzzle game of all time.
>>316507106
I second this.
>>316507393
Not that guy but they're too different experiences
Great Adventure is better if you want a challenge and great co-op.
Mystical is great because it has an even better soundtrack, a lush and massive overworld and a funnier translation
>>316503835
FF6/Chrono Trigger/Terranigma/Dragon Quest 5
Four of the greats of the SNES era
You must play these before you move to a more modern era.
All 4 have top quality soundtracks and are considered some of the best JRPGs of all time.

Points for recommending the Bayonetta games but denying Souls' quality means you're still a faggot.
>>316505405
>>316506626
whoops. went from computer to laptop and forgot to turn my name back on, these are both me just to clarify
>>316508004
this
it's good to expose yourself to games that aren't just the surface layer most popular games, but what's the point of playing a video game if you're not enjoying it? video games aren't part of an identity you construct, they're something you have fun with. whatever genre you like, dude, whatever series, just explore
>>316508192
>doesn't like Katamari
Holy shit it must hurt to be you.
>>316508195
>denying Souls' quality means you're still a faggot.
This. I also like how any time you say something like this they say "w-well now I'll never play the game! You're proving my point, look how terrible the fanbase is!"
They're only spiting themselves. I honestly love it. I'm so glad "git gud" became a thing and pushed people away from playing one of the best games of all time. I find it funny. They think they're somehow harming me by depriving themselves of one of the greatest gaming experiences of all time.

"Patrician games" is just a dumb meme, play whatever you want.

>It isn't a chart of what's better it's a chart of preferences dude.
Okay? Everything said about video games other than objective facts about things like framerate and polygon count are preferences. That doesn't mean we can't talk about which is better/which we like more.
>>316508337
I didn't say I didn't like it, it's just more of a minigame and I find it odd to recommend it.
>>316508349
See this shit, OP? Pleb central.
>>316504021
Earthbound is not fucking entry level. Hardly any fucking normies have played it and it's actually rather difficult without any sort of guide.
>>316508508
>inadvertently admitting you're guilty of this by responding
>>316508349
They deny history all the time too. Souls was well-loved on /v/ between 2009-2012. JUST before the PC version dropped, people began to hate on it.
Then you had the game's storytelling. Everyone unanimously agreed that Dark Souls has good storytelling for a game of its type. Then people got caught up on VaatiVidya, who got annoying so now everyone trashes Dark Souls' storytelling despite still complaining about intrusive methods of storytelling in video games.
Unbelievable.

You should play at least one SMT game, they're one of the better standard JRPG games out there.
SMT Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga are both very good, along with Devil Summoner Raidou and Strange Journey. If you have a hard time finding JRPGs fun though and can stomach a bit of weebshit, try out Persona 3.
All of the ones listed can be emulated on PCSX2 and SJ can be played on DesMuMe
>>316508637
At the time of it's release, but nowadays it's one of the most popular RPGs on the system, and part of one of the most popular RPG series the world over. It's not even a cult classic anymore, it's literally in every single top 10 RPG list I can recall in the last 10 years.

There is no such thing as "entry level" or "patrician" games.
Play what you think looks good or fuck off with your elitist hipster bullshit.
>>316509521
This
OP is a fag
All for PC.
Look to the classics, games like DOOM, Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate, Wing Commander, Commander Keen, Blood, Quake, Command & Conquer, Ultima, etc etc etc...
Then you have games like Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Unreal, The Witcher, System Shock etc etc.
Chibo Robo is certainly a cult classic. One of my favorites for the Gamecube. Dont bother with the rest of the series because its trash. There is a Japanese only one, but I dont know if its good or not.
how's it looking?

Looking good. Phantasy star is a very long series, so be prepared if you plan on going through all of them. And they take a very different turn come "Phantasy Star Online". It basically changes the series from a JRPG into an action game.
Gotcha force is about as patrician as you can get.
>>316503835
There's no patrician shit in gaming
If the gameplay is good, it's good go play it
Avoid games with loads of writing though, those are the kind of games where the shit writing hurts the game

There are 3 achievements indicating how you reacted to MLA's ideas about existence and what it means to be human, one indicating that you fully agree with MLA and embrace his ideas, one indicating that you partially agree with him, and the last indicating that you reject his ideas.
In other words, your criticism is stupid, because the game literally gives you an option to disagree with him. And most people obviously found it to be an interesting discussion because (pic related) most people at least partially agreed with MLA's philosophies, with the people completely rejecting his ideas at the bottom.

Don't listen to people telling you what NOT to play. These people are universally faggots and shitposters who are needlessly shitflinging.

>>316509994
Which Megami Tensei/SMT games are you planning on playing? Because there are a shitload and honestly, a lot of them aren't worth bothering with.
The early ones are just full of shitty auto-resolve encounters that don't require any strategy and have almost no story to make up for it, they're only notable for being Pokemon before Pokemon, sort of.
By contrast, some of the later ones like Nocturne have considerably more well-designed turn-based combat/party management than the majority of JRPGs and good atmosphere to back it up.
There are also a lot of spin-offs with slight variations on this formula, like DDS which is more "cinematic", the Raidou games which are real-time, etc.

Seriously, take your annual rehash series and shove it up your ass. Souls hasn't been good since the first half of Dark Souls ended.

This
But honestly what kind of pretentious little shit dismisses stuff based on it being entry-level or not alone?
Is your life so shit that the only way you can feel better is by thinking you have such good taste?
>>316511532
Furries like Looney Tunes, suppose that means it's garbage.
Don't you have some Mimigas to jack off to?

Your entire reason for disliking Souls is because people like it. Do you realize that shit? I'd go play some video games and try to enjoy my Friday, man.
Gonna get flak for it but i don't give a shit. If you like earthbound and music you gotta play undertale. Just go do it.
>>316511869
Or maybe because it's a rudimentary, slow, clunky, and buggy ARPG people praise because of the lolsohard meme.

>>316508845
Three people have played it.

>get to the stone pencil
>don't know what to do
>hint guy tells me to give money to some faggots

>go back to penic stone
>it's still there
I opened a guide at that point which just said the exact same shit I already did, just went back to the town and they gave me the pencil eraser
fuck this game.
>>316512098
Dark souls and ds2 are both great games, best games ever? Probably not. Why does everything have to be so black and white with people? Oh yea they can't bitch as much if they ignore nuance.
>>316512098
Get good.
>>316512183
Receiver phone
>>316512098
Or maybe people praise it because it's just a legit good game.
>>316509994
Secret of Evermore is actually better than Mana, but /v/ secretly wants to be popular so they won't say so.
>>316512098
You're still so focused on other people.
And it's not an "ARPG" because it has a story and numbers. It's just an action game.
>>316511631
>Is your life so shit that the only way you can feel better is by thinking you have such good taste?
That's basically what being a hipster is all about.
>>316512337
It's got way better writing that's for sure
>>316506830
Indeed, but it only applies to the low-fi early phase of the industry, I could write a thesis about this, but to keep it short i'll just say that AAA actively targets the most common and plebeian audiences possible, thus creating a similar scenario to music industry, the coexistence of the vanilla masses and the niche minorities.
>>316512147
>Implying Butterscotch isn't goat tier.
>>316512183
The only way Nintendo would sell the game to US markets was with a full guide bundled in.
Don't sweat it, just use a wiki.
aaaaand if you're playing mother 3, use the unofficial paperback guide for like 15 bucks it's really slick.
>>316512295
He only called me after I already checked the guide, you need to apparantly give them money before going to the place with the pencil stone thingy but because I went there before giving him the money it didn't count so I had to go there again and back before he would call me.
final version? or should I add/change something?
>>316512474
Cinnamon is objectively better than butterscotch as a flavor since it is more versatile. However, if we're talking strictly about pies here butterscotch would be superior to just a pie flavored with cinnamon, cinnamon apple though, that's another story entirely.
Obscure Quality Titles:
>Dwarf Fort
>Seiken Denetsu III
>NetHack
>Meteos
These are just a few, there are so many great games.
>>316512610

This gotta be one of the most fedora things one could say.
>>316512613
She would obviously add sugar to the cinnamon before making it into a pie
>>316511631
if you don't have a refined sense of taste you are a pleb through and through.
All these fags saying Undertale
Come back in 3 years and then put it in as one of your quality titles. We are too close to the release of the game to actually reflect on the validity of these memers claims.
>>316503835
Like giant robots? Go play Ring of Red. So patrician that only 20 people in all of 4chan have played it. That number may be going up to 23 pretty soon, though.
Alternatively, start working on the Legacy of Kain series. It's very highly regarded, but the canon can get a little confusing at times.
>>316512659
Here's some more
>Destiny of an Emperor (NES)
>Ogre battle: march of the black queen (SNES)
>Bahamut Lagoon (Super Famicom /w translate patch)
>>316512695
Don't waste your time with Dwarf Fortress. It's stupid, people just pretend to like it or something.
Deus Ex no longer stands up but you may want to familiarize yourself with the story, as it is a good story. The gameplay is weak though and the controls feel clunky and awkward.
Okami isn't a very good game, it's just weird. I wouldn't recommend it.
Undertale is also bad.
Don't waste your time with those 4 games, I've either played the others and they're good or I can't comment on them because I haven't played them.
>>316512695
That's a pretty good list. Kuuyaku Megami Tensei is just the two first Megami Tensei games, so putting that and Shin Megami Tensei in the list is pretty redundant.I suggest trying out SMTII or SMT: Strange Journey first but that's just me.
>>316512695
Dont forget the DKC trilogy for the SNES
if you have a ps3 you should play this
>>316510704
>defending undertale
>saying cave story looks like shit as a negative
kill yourself
>>316513149
>>316512695
Add Ikaruga, La-Mulana and Dustforce
Try Undertale. There's even a few Earthbound references in it.
>>316512695
Both the first and second chapters of Trails in the Sky are lovely rpg's that will last you a long while. Fully recommend those if you're looking for a rather niche series. It's not too niche, but it's still not entry level.
Best girl is the main character, too, so that's a big plus.

What genre of games do you even like?
This whole idea of seeking out hipster games is horribly flawed. You should just be looking for good, fun games.
>>316512695
Fire Emblem, start with 7 (Just known as Fire Emblem in the west). If you like it, play the others.
Bastion is a great game, decent gameplay, great music, interesting world, and a fun narration.
Planescape: Torment is somewhat dated, but has a fantastic story.
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are great, atmospheric games.
If you have any interest in the more J JRPGs, the Tales of series is great, start with either Symphonia or Vesperia if you do. Above average combat for a JRPG series, a fun, light-hearted adventures with enjoyable characters. If you don't like anime, ignore.
>>316510984
>>316511852
Yes, it's rather difficult without having something guide you, rather it be the package guide in the original release in America, an FAQ, or the in game hint system. That you for saying absolutely fucking nothing to counter what I just said, you fucking mongoloids.
Gitaroo Man is pretty fun, ps2 or psp
>>316513253
definitely this, play ICO if you REALLY want to but DEFINITELY play SotC
>>316513590
Suck a fatty you fucking troglodyte
>>316513697
Not that climbing game. It's boring.
>>316513508
am I being memed? literally newer than new here, so I wouldn't even know t b h family
>>316513852
This guy
>>316514116
Implying SoC isn't a climbing game.
final draft
don't really want to add anymore because money is an object (despite already owning some here)
just let me know, is this good as it is? is there any specific game that is /essential/ missing here? I've played pretty much all of the Ninten canon btw
>>316514384
Sorta, you also ride a horse sometimes too
>>316514650
You are good, anon. For forth and play vidya.
>>316514650
Not La-Mulana it has shitty controls.
>>316514650
if money is a problem just keep in mind that 80% of everything on that list can be emulated/pirated given that you have a good enough computer
happy gaming
>>316514650
Don't listen to anyone saying anything good or bad about Undertale. Play it for yourself and form your own opinion.
Atleast 1 Professor Layton game even if puzzles aren't your thing, just so that you can experience it's patented "what the fuck is happening to the story?" thing. Also the Ace Attorney series.
The crossover that the two had is a solid entry point into both franchises actually.
>>316514650
That's an A+ list you got there, anon.
People are gonna keep on suggesting games, but that list will last you a damn long time.
Last suggestion I have is Bravely Default, cause that's my favorite game of all time.
>>316514830
Your bait isn't going to work anon.
>>316514046
Dogs Life is not necessarily a bad game from what I remember but it certainly isnt a must play masterpiece either, just your average PS2 game
Average critic score for Mort the Chicken is 2/10, its a hilariously bad version of other decent PS1 platformers, play Spyro the Dragon or Crash Bandicoot 2 instead
>>316514650
I just arrived in the thread but that looks pretty good OP.
Just with those you'll be busy for quite some time.
>>316514650
In all seriousness, remove A Dog's Life and Mort the Chicken, those anons were just fucking with you.
>>316507227
10/10 taste tbqh
>>316514650
Some more that I definitely think you shouldn't miss out on:
Mount & Blade: Warband
Thief 1 and 2
System Shock 1 and 2
Divine Divinity
Divinity: Original Sin
This War of Mine
Legend of Grimrock series
Classic Tomb Raiders (1-4)
Hitman series
Max Payne series
Mark of the Ninja
UnderRail
The Age of Decadence
Dragon's Dogma
Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 + 2
I know it's kind of a big list but gotdamn those are some good games
Ghost Trick is the most patrician game of the last five years
>>316515676
this
>>316515075
It has shitty controls. That's why I don't play it. In 2015 such retarded control is forbidden. When I was young it was acceptable but today no.
>>316514886
that's why it's still on the list, want to see what it is for myself
>>316515676
Not at all, it got lots of praise and sold reasonably for a new IP, it didn't blow up but it didn't flop either. It also got an iOS release too.
>>316513149
Goddammit, how can one possibly have tastes so shit?
>>316515762
>2015
Your just off by 10 years m8.
>>316516052
Ho... It was free with PSN+ recently, I thought it was a recent indie game. 2005, that explains the shitty controls.
>>316506169
this is literally pleb taste the post.
>>316507230
no i would enjoy it if the game wasn't shit.
>>316512695

great job faggot
>>316508845

Oh, neo /v/

i take back what i said before this is shit taste the list,
>>316516862
Barely a spoiler fampai. None of the characters are recognizable in that state.
>>316511694
thats not a game faggot.
>>316516720
I'll bet you like games like Skyrim and Zelda but not Souls.
>>316517585
Here we are. Soulsfag are always obnoxious. Maybe the souls series transfrom people into assholes.
>>316512695
the only game worth playing on that entire list is TWEWY.
>>316517927
>declares the game shit
>anyone who doesn't accept your shitty opinion as a fact is "obnoxious" and "an asshole"
Pot meet kettle
>>316512695
If you're going to play a fighting game for the first time, it should be the current Street Fighter or Smash - before people give me shit for saying that, my reasoning is that those two games have massive online multiplayer communities to play against. VF5FS may be good but you'll be playing it by yourself as you'll be bored as fuck pretty quickly.
Also for Uncharted Waters, go for the sequel Uncharted Waters: New Horizons. Best pirate-themed game ever in my opinion.
