I will say that 2's style is deliberately enigmatic so it may feel confusing, but it is also so sparse on concrete plot details that you don't really need anything to be refreshed on

I just finished Hotline Miami 2.

I don't know what to feel. I've never been more lost. I don't think any game has ever affected me as much as this one.

>>2784
wow thanks so much! i tried the demo briefly but lost heart when i looked at the price. i'll definitely get into the free trial at least, i love any kind of character creation game. are you on oceania servers?

>>2785
I'm on Aether.

Oceania has the perk of being the "neutral zone" that every region can pay a visit to and play with one another, and the drawback of not having that many players actually living on it.

If you want a more populated server you may have to choose between NA, UK and JP and use Oceania servers to visit and play with people from other regions if you have any.

There are pros and cons but I prefer trying to land myself in more populated zones with more "skilled" players so that I never have to wait too long for dungeons or raids.

Ok, I'm about ~24 hours in. I killed my first primal.

Overall the game is pretty fun so far, even if it's not "engagin" per se. A whole bunch of fetch quests being part of the early MSQ kind of sucks, combat is a bit shit especially at lower levels, job scenario quests are cool. Now that I'm through the slop, the story is shaping up to be interesting enough.

I like the character designs, though not as much as VI or XVI, but the races are cool. I chose to be a Lalafell. I'm sad that the only options to be a Hrothgar, now that Shadowbringers is free, are either hulking chungus or generic female.

Combat could use more depth; some fights were okay though, just very mindless overall. I've heard that there's a big update in the works which I'm excited for; coming from Xenoblade, I'd like to see more thought put into it other than "click the buttons in sequence".

I definitely could've gotten a lot further if I didn't swap classes twice; first from lancer to archer, then back again when I was told that you can meet Estinien early in the lancer questline.

I ended up picking an Oceania server, which I regret; the connection sucks anyway, and there is fucking nobody to play with. Can I transfer my character to a new server, or am I stuck?

>>2786
sorry, which aether world

I liked making a cute character and crafting outfits and generally hanging out. Red Mage was fun to play.

I have a couple different models of the Anbernic RG35XX that can emulate almost anything, and those have been really cool. The one on the left is modded to also play RPGMaker 2000/2003 games.

>pawprint joysticks
cute

>>2655
I have a "family edition" wii as well but, mine is white. Wii motionplus means that these wiimotes have a gyroscope sensor in them to improve motion controls

>>2553
I think the JPN exclusive "dark crystal" AKA Skeleton Xbox looks very badass

>>2655
its that note at the bottom of the wiimote, it started with games like zelda skyward sword that came with an additional base for the wiimote that was the motion plus, it would be connected like the nunchuck connects and itd better the sensibility of the control. it came already integrated with this edition id guess.

Great news!

Thank you friend
I will be playing soon :)

The server works with legal copies only? :(

>>878
Currently there are not many plugins for Minecraft Forge 1.15, and there is no way to authenticate logins from cracked Minecraft clients. So, if I allowed them, anyone could just connect as me and have op powers. Allowing cracked clients will depend on a server-side auth mod being developed for Forge.

Fun server. Played a few weeks back but have been busy.

Everyone is on Hytale now.

Why should I consider FFXI over FFXIV?

>>2110
ff11 on the whole is slow and clunky but it feels more like a Final Fantasy game than XIV in my opinion. The world is immersive and atmospheric and a lot of the time it feels challenging to dig through a dungeon (unless you've power-leveled yourself past it of course). I don't play on any of the private servers because they are all jankier than retail in some way or another and I don't want to lose my progress from the retail servers anyway. but I do recommend giving 11 a try if you have an itch for a game with very heavy non-wow-style mmo mechanics and heavy fantasy storylines.

>>2110
You shouldn't. FFXI is not comparable to FFXIV in anything beyond inspiration, story, aesthetic or setting. The game itself is VASTLY different and appeal to completely different parts of the brain.

FFXI is a long, slow adventure where you will occasionally need to ask people for help, figure things out on your own, and generally have a more personal and lengthy adventure. It plays more similarly to Final Fantasy I-IV than anything else. The quests are obtuse and require dedication to complete, there are a million spells that all have their own situations on when to use them, monsters wont de-aggro so you actually have to fight that trash mob you accidentally pulled in the middle of the field. combat is slow and your auto attack will be doing a lot of work for you.

FFXI is a very slow mmo that is very "old school" with its pacing, and very VERY unique in every other way. There is no other game quite like it.

FFXIV is a game where you fight god and get a cool sword.
FFXI is a game where you spend 40 minutes walking to fight a worm because an old man told you to and your reward is a ticket to ride a boat for 20 real world minutes to a country you've never been to before.

FFXIV is a great video game. FFXI is a great adventure. Don't consider replacing one with the other, but rather consider picking up FFXI on the next maint night when you want more final fantasy mmo while you wait for XIV servers to come back online.

No, but seeing Starfield in the demo made me think of when they re-released Morbius for theaters.

>>2775
I smiled, thank you

>you just know someone's gonna read higurashi with this and it's gonna look like

slop horrors beyond human comprehension

no way people will use this seriously, i can only imagine like silly filters, looking forward for the silly things people will do with it

Why is this game's fanbase the RPG equivalent of Tyler, the Creator's?

But ye cool gmae :)

>>2739
I have read a theory about Dess being a schizo prepper and that's a much better interpretation I will now accept as csushi roll

>>2770
*canοn
Huh, that's so weird, why does the filter apply here?

>>2770
lmao. that would be surprisingly in character? i don't know, i feel like toby fox writes a lot of fairly generic character archetypes. but just like

really well?

like noelle is the classic childhood best friend trope but the only thing making her distinct is that the romance option fucking sucks, but she's still interesting outside of that?

idk i just feel like even if dess is as tropey as she's lining up to be it'll still be fairly interesting

>>2771
The Scunthorpe problem

Oh fuck yeah. I'll join in this weekend.

>>2713
nice posters lol

heh

I love CS1.6 and CSS even if I'm not very good at CS. The older maps and models just hit very differently and I like that the community is mostly there to have fun or are passionate about the game.

Final Fantasy is an action RPG now? Can't believe they're requiring mechanical skill in my strategery games…

such an immersive series..
