I recently started playing Wolfenstein the New Order and the gunplay is good, but more than anything I love the world building: the lore covering each map giving pictures of this alternate universe.
This made me think: one of the things I love about games is when someone develops an interesting world and then gives you a lot of opportunities to dive into the background and learn about what's going on. Especially with stuff that's alternate history or dystopian sci fi.
Another game I played recently that did that was SOMA, the amount of detail they put into what happened with the world and how they slowly dripfeed you the horror is great.
Are there any other games which do this well? Failing that, Wolfenstein thread?

If you are patient and maybe a little bit crazy, you might want to check out a game called "Pathologic". It's a Russian game from 2005 that recently got a bit of a HD remaster. For most people, it's insufferably slow, and mechanically insanely clunky, but it's also perhaps the very best piece of videogame narrative ever made, and a lot of that lies in it's world-building, lore and settings in general.
The setting is fictional, but it's heavily inspired by late 19th/pre-revolutionary 20th century Russia, with a lot of magical realism and a lot of Kafka going on in the background.
Most of the game is spent either walking, or talking to people, the pace is incredibly slow, and aside surprisingly competent survival mechanics every other aspect of the game (thankfully mostly optional combat and stealth in general) are awful and clunky.
But if you want to explore a really strange, and really detailed fictional modern-ish settings, it still might be worth pirating for a try.
Aside from that, some games that always stuck me as having particularly good worldbuilding were:
Morrowind
Bastion
Half-life 2
Dishonored

I too enjoyed Wolfenstein: TNO. The game really rewards you for exploring both with gameplay upgrades and story bits. They really didn't have to add those little details about the world unless they really cared about telling a story, I mean, it's WOLFENSTEIN for fucks sake. The gunplay can keep me entertained for hours but it's nice to see they actually did something for the story.

>playing Wolfenstein for the story
RtCW and 09 did it best. Just you, Nazis, and occult shit, and barely anything more.
None of thisit was jew magic the entire timenonsense with MUH DEEP CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Any play her in the beta yet? Thinking of maining her because I usually pick the character I think looks the hottest
She looked like a grappler from the intro vid, though. And I ain't havin' that shit.
She doesn't really play like a grappler.
She plays sorta like Makoto with her v-trigger dash and command throw being her core moves.
>no big meaty normal frametrap character
Literally the only archetype I play in fighting games. I'm so disappointed at the SFV roster
>>323315893
She has a command grab, but Gief is really the only true grappler in the cast. She's closer to rushdown.
did you use the casual gun /v/?
>>323315880
>MP5
No other guns needed.
casuals were 12 year olds. the hated burst fire. casuals were the ones who used mp5, p90, and m60's.
m16 was for hardcore pros. like me.
>>323315880
Only to get the gun cheevos, I mainly played with the M4A1, AK and G3
So... what did you name your Shovel Knight amiibo?

Go away.
There is absolute nothing wrong using a gaming headset.
Impressionable pseudoaudiophile faggots trying to be their favourite youtuber/streamer will post their garbage in threads about how their setup is "better".
By "better", they mean own mid-range headphones plugged directly into the motherboard that are designed for music with way too much bass that completely muddies all the detail in audio in games.
Not only that, but you're fucking gimping yourself by not having mic connected to your headset. I've literally seen these shitters suggest using a modmic or clipping some shit to your clothes and having two cables get into a big mess.
Then they're telling you to get a desk mic. Oh fuck are these people retarded. Unless you're doing some professional work, you do not need a fucking desk mic and you're introducing problems for no reason
>Mic needs to be positioned correctly
>In some cases in front of your face
>Moving your head fucks with volume
>Typing or hitting the desk in any way (Moving mouse / putting cup down) causes thudding
>Unless you invest in extra anti-vibration equipment
Even after all this trash, you're only going to be talking on teamspeak / in-game, which have shitty codecs anyway. Even CS/DotA codecs are garbage considering the investment.
Honestly, if you have a desk mic / pseudoaudiophile headphones, drink everything under the sink.

I have this pair, they're probably the best headset I've had so far.
Comfortable and sturdy with decent sound quality.
Is there really some sort of elitism for headsets? I find that'd hard to believe man. $15.99 pair here, spending extra money just because something's 'designed for gaming' is fucking lunacy
>>323316664
You should just ignore these morons, trust me.
How do we save the NX from the Nintendo decline?
>>323315325
Its Nintendo's problem of recovering themselves but not ours.
we don't. we focus on enriching our own lives.
By not buying it until Nintendo get's their shit together.
Speak with your wallets.
what are the gcn essentials?
>>323315181

>>323315181
Get a memory card OP, I recommend 251
>>323316293
Sure if you wanna be a fag about it you could use a controller, nerd. Kill yourself.

Have you seen the size of Mikes dong
I have that feeling with AVGN like a relationship that just isn't working anymore, but you just can't break it because of all the good memories they've given to you.
What do you think is the best puzzle game of all time /v/?
To this day I have not played a puzzle game better than Tetris.
Everything about it is simply perfect.
For anyone interested here is a small documentary about the history of Tetris. It is actually very interesting

I recently dug out my old Nes collection, and found my old Tetris cartridge. To my dismay, it is damaged and freezes up on me during play.
I was quite depressed.
>>323315835
Well, that a pity. At least it was not an expensive game. You can probably find a copy on eBay for around 5 bucks

>Valvedrones will defend this
This little idea of valvedrones you have in your head doesn't exist anon. But here's the attention you were looking for, stop making threads that shit up the board.
Outdated hitboxes that were removed from the game months ago. Next.
Bullet inaccuracy adds to the game's skill ceiling by putting players in situations they wouldn't normally expect. Git gud

>it's okay when Nintendo does it
Anyone else made something similar?
But it's okay because you don't have to pay.
Besides they need to make up the cost from only charging $4.99 per character in smash. They're passing the savings on to us.

Considering you can get a free play or two a day, and badges rotate back in, there's nothing you can't get for free with patience.
There's not even a leaderboard or any PVP elements, so there's no reason to just be patient and it's not a P2W situation.
