Hey /v/, what're you playing?
The weather outside is abysmal here, so I think I'll stick to something cozy likewatching my fiefs in M&B rise in prosperityfor now.
No? Okay.
>>321623048
Monster Hunter 3U currently.
Not sure if I want to finish up Rune Factory 4 before the year ends but at least I'm finishing my backlog.
>nothing but rain this past week
I almost welcome the snow
>>321625735
I'd be welcoming the snow if there was any in sight.
How's Monster Hunter?
>>321623048
I'm sorry that your thread hasn't taking off with a rocket start tonight op so I will help you with a bump. Tonight the weather is warm and I am currently playing a game called State of Decay. Some survival based vidya that surrounds itself in you playing as multiple characters set on trying to survive the day after. With the collection of supplies and what not. I am currently on the look out for more food while hunting zombies with a suppressed 308. hunting rifle, its pretty fun.
>>321626113
Really fun but I did spent a ton of time on 4U so I'm just hunting whenever the mood hits since I stopped playing 3U after 4U released. Hunting with /v/ and /vg/ is comfy and really tense.
>>321627068
No need to be sorry. Sometimes they don't take off at all, I just go elsewhere at that point for a while. I've heard interesting things about it, but how many hours have you put into it thus far?
>>321627139
>Hunting with /v/ and /vg/ is comfy and really tense
I can imagine. There seems to be a fairly active community of people playing MH on this board.
>>321627552
I'm just saddens to see a thread that starts on clearly good intentions only to die silently without anyone knowing of it. But in regards to SoD? Yeah its an alright game pretty bug filled mind you I've been putting some 400+ hours into the original 360 version of it. Lost a lot of cars to the game engine glitching out or zombies getting dragged under the wheels causing me to flip.
Currently on Breakdown mode which is essentially just the sandbox mode that allows me to play the game at my own pace which consists of me scaving, shooting, slicing and just overall surviving in the Turnbull Valley the games location. Actually been thinking of upgrading to the YOSE version on the Xbone but I have heard some conflicting reports about it from other users so I may just wait around a bit longer before going for it.
>>321628119
*saddened I need to lay off the drink for a while.
>>321628119
The same happens to shitpost threads all the time.I'm not the only one experimenting with different kinds of opening posts to figure out what works to make people interested.
Anyway, would you say the bugs are egregious enough to make the game boring?
>>321628328
Hey there OP. I'm actually looking for something comfy to play too. Thinking of booting up Paper Mario 64 again, but I kinda want a new experience. Any suggestions?
>>321628328
Yeah thats the thing with shitposting threads is how easy it is to just start a fight with everyone instead of trying to reply in a somewhat positive manner. Its easier to insult someone then it is to compliment them.
Worst ones I have personally would be along the lines of fallen through the road one day with losing a serviceable truck with a trunk load of much needed supplies in the back and getting stuck inside a rock surrounded by bloaters. Aside from that screen tearing, texture pop ins and shit for brains AI are some of the usual problems I am having to deal with on a daily basis. I still enjoy it but sometimes I do wish this didn't have to happen as much as it does.
>>321628675
Adding to this Bloaters are fat gas bag pricks that waddle around in their underwear just waiting to fart on you. The gas itself is dangerous because its flammable, it chews away your health and stamina like a motherfucker and if you don't have the required facilities to deal with the gas your survivor can either die or become infected and your other survivors back at the home base.
>>321628908
*attack goddamnit
>>321628464
Comfy games? Recettear's fun if you like a bit of math running a store and some dungeoncrawling on the side.
Can thoroughly recommend SquareCells as well if you're the kind of person who enjoys Minesweeper but want an expanded ruleset.
>>321628675
>>321628908
Sounds like it might be worth a play sometime, then. Thanks!
>>321629196
If you do consider it would be better for you to just jump straight to the YOSE version instead of trying to double dip with it. And if you can try to get it on PC as well since mods will make the game even more playable with expansion on the facilities in the way of ammo and snack creation, bug fixing and other benefits that come with playing in on PC.
>>321629415
Yeah, I noticed they don't sell the normal version anymore on Steam.
I'm primarily a PC guy anyway, so that won't be a major issue.
>>321628464
Oh, and I've heard good things about To the Moon if you haven't played it yet - it's more a story than a game, but it's apparently really heartwarming.
bump
Republic Commando, Jedi Academy, some Banished and Dragon Age:Origins every now and then.
It's snowing, no hurry anywhere, all my vidya needs are satisfied. Might get drunk tonight.
>>321632253
Sounds like a good time. First playthrough of Origins?
>>321632312
Nah, played shit out of it when it first came. Dragon Age 2 was such a huge disappointment I haven't touched the series since though.
But I never played Awakening so there's something new for me.
I've been playing Dark Souls and Okami for the first time, they're both pretty fucking great so far
Okami is a bit too easy, but it's a great palette cleanser whenever I need to take a break from being terrible at Dark Souls
>>321632458
Good to hear. Inquisition isn't the worst if you ever find the enthusiasm for it - gets very grindy if you want to do the side objectives, but gameplay-wise it's a nice middle-ground between 1 and 2.
>>321632465
Neat! I'll be playing Dark Souls for the first time soon, myself. How's it?
>>321632583
It'sfun, especially after the beginning which can be a bit of a hurdle before you start learning how to play properly
>>321632871
Alright. Did you go in blind, or did you read strategies?
I'm trying to play Borderlands:the Presequel, but behind me i have my mother who's struggling with her Assassin's Creed III (she keeps asking "when do i get to be a real assassin? I liked Ezio more." and so on), so i can't focus for shit.
>>321633334
Your mom plays vidya?
The F:NV Christmas mod. Comfy af
>>321633334
Your mother sounds like she has decent taste.
>>321633523
Is that an actual gameplay mod or just comfy?
>>321633395
Yeah, but we don't have much in common. She's the irritating "100% complete before switching", guess it's the oldschool kicking in.
Played the first 3 AC, the first Bayonetta, all 3 Bioshocks, the 2 Borderlands and almost all Tomb Raiders.
are you guys wrapping blankets around your legs like i am?
>>321633581
It turns the mojave desert into a winter wonderland and it adds a pretty lengthy quest chain. Plus there's nazis, who want to ruin christmas. Pretty good for a quest mod.
>>321633582
If I didn't know better I'd say your mother is pretty hardcore for a gamer, 100% shit takes a bit of dedication.Are you sure that you are not the casual of this relationship anon?
>>321623048
with my dick
>>321633702Not just my legs
>>321633767
That... sounds amazing. May have to try that some time.
>>321633831
Fun. Any games later?
>>321633808
i-i might be ;_;
I also forgot about the God of War series, and Uncharted.
I also have to say that 20% of the times i have to help (Father Rodin, for example), or i have to just plain tell her the story of the game because she wouldn't get it (like Bioshock:Infinite, it was a mess).
>>321634004
In my mouth Game
>>321623048
Warframe, just started it this morning being the slowpoke that I am.I'm playing solo. Kill me
>>321634081
>tfw anon's mom is more of a hardcore gamer then he is
Also thats pretty cute in its own way when you think about it because she can rely on you to understand things whether it be gameplay or just basic plot understanding.

>always walks in black ways
>black ways
hmmm
>>321634081
Ah well, good to hear you're both having fun with it.
>>321634112
Congratulations, at least you're the 1% of people who can do that.
>>321634259
Maybe there's a general where you can find some people?
>>321634349
Having fun?
>>321623048
Bumpin with a current track that I'm listening to
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsZtn29d52s
FFXIV
>>321633702
Every night.
>>321628119
I'm playing YOSE and I haven't experienced any of the bugs if that makes you change your mind on it. But I'm playing on the pc and not the xbone. I haven't played lifeline yet though. I actually never even beat the storyline yet. I took a break from state of decay because I got divinity OS and Mario maker for Christmas.
Divinity is rad but it's a bit slow.
>>321634473
That's pretty groovy.
>>321634496
Having fun with it?
I just started risen for the first time, got captured and i'm a monk now apparently
>>321634773
yes
>>321634431
>Having fun?
A lot.
>>321634598
I will probably get it eventually anon since I am still paying off my Xbone, its just a matter of what other vidya I can think of getting after I get bored with that one. Because as far as I can see there really isn't a hell of a lot screaming out to me to play them. Only other vidya that I was remotely looking forward to was Mad Max but I haven't heard about that one since.
>>321634791
Risen as a game overall is pretty ergh to me. Play Gothic 3 instead if you find that it doesn't deliver well.
>>321634907
Neat. Picked up the game a while ago to give it a try, but I'm still encountering the wall of WoW fatigue a lot in MMOs.
>>321634947
Neat. How would you rate it, in terms of it being Early Access?
>>321635048
State of decay is kinda boring though. All the missions are the same thing in the main storyline, and my base is so stocked with goods that I don't need loot anymore.
But I have an issue, I believe Snyder trucking is the largest base, but I can never have enough beds for everyone. Unless I start breaking down my med lab, watch tower, kitchen, or something else important so I just let myself get tired.
I'm loving divinity though.
Zixzax and the homestead area are comfy as fuck.
But I brought that demon hunter from cyseal with me and he does so much damage but his personality is so irritating. He's a big fucking cunt about everything crying about how it's all made by demons and shit and I can't stand it.
I saved some citizens life and he was mad about it saying that his life didn't matter and all we should be doing is hunting demons.
Really ruining my comfy feels here but he does hella damage and has a heal so I'm not sure I want to abandon him yet.
>>321623048
Cold, nasty and rainy here, so I bought Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. The camera controls are a little annoying (mapped to left thumbstick) but it's fucking great for a budget arcade beat em up. Lots of fun.
>>321635382
Oh. I also have underrail installed in my backlog but I gotta get through divinity first.
State of decay is more of a casual fuck around game for me since the story is unrewarding.
I've heard most people just go straight to the sandbox and skip the story anyways.
>>321635382
A vast majority of the shit ingame outside of the main storyline is randomly generated bullshit like zed hunts, distractions, infestations etc so it does become inane after a while. But most of that change in Breakdown since you may have to deal with upwards of 20-40+ zombies at any one time dependent on your level.
The Synders Trucking is the best base in game on the account of its machine shop, outpost count and general location but how many survivors do you currently have at the moment? Anything over 16 and you are just asking for more bullshit in regards to attitudes and general babying of the temperamental survivors.
Playing through FFIX for the first time.
Midway into disc 2 and having a really good time. It's really nice looking for a ps1 game, music is super comfy, and the characters and story seems well written. I'm liking the battle system, with how abilities work it's surprisingly fun getting new equipment and tinkering with different skills.
I actually bought the physical version a couple years ago, and while I have a backwards compatible ps2 I never got into it. I recently tried out emulating on my pc for kicks and after playing through FFXII IZJS (Beautiful emulated btw, check it out) I decided to give IX a try. Turns out I can play it from the disc, which is pretty nice, I've got a ton of other ps1/ps2 games that I want to try emulating.
The only bad thing is that I'm seeing some minor stuttering and I'm not sure if it's the emulator or my pc.
>>321635202
>Neat. How would you rate it, in terms of it being Early Access?
Subjectively 10/10, because I really like how it feels and looks, and because it's really easy to mod and I like fiddling around with gamefiles (those dark lighting settings in the first screenshot are custom, vanilla looks like pic related). The devs seem pretty cool, too.
But it's still lacking a lot of the planned core mechanics and I can see how other people wouldn't get as much out of the game as me.
So I guess I'd say it's aMEGA/10https://mega.nz/#!j9R1jDqY!wjJ22WJbmKEWHeUxoodMPIJ2qQv0sACHk9fpafXVgYc
>>321623506
I wish I was as comfy as king dedede
>>321635842
You could try looking around online with regards to the stuttering, there's a lot of things to tweak on the PS1 emulators to improve performance.
>>321635849
>easy to mod
Sounds like I'll have to pick it up once they actually release it, then. Thanks for the info.
>>321635871
Who doesn't want to run around in a bathrobe all day?
>>321635698
I think I have more than 16. I know it's at least 16. The starter char Marcus I think his name is, got torn apart by a juggernaut though so I'm down one. Haha.
Instead of playing video games or sleeping or doing anything else productive I've been working on my stupid artwork.
I'm hot off the heels of drawing fifty drawings at 128x128 so I'm trying to get back into big stuff.
>>321636101
Yeah thats probably why since one bed slot accounts for 8 people, the prebuilt plus your extra should be enough to counter sleep deprivation and give that delicious 10+ bonus stamina. Also yeah when I did story mode I ended up losing the tanned rifle girl Maya to a Juggie, ripped her clean in half like wet toilet paper. Permadeath is a real bitch.
>>321636197
That sounds productive. What kind of drawings do you do?
>>321636462
Stupid/grotesque cartoons.
>>321636529
Better drawings than I've ever managed. On a drawpad or something the like?
>>321636664
Wacom Bamboo tablet.
Used it so much there's a big patch of the matte surface worn off in the middle.
