>>7498 i liked the story but johnny reminded me of the joker from the last archam game who i hated so he does lower the quality a little

>>7483 yeah, one of my friends is critting for nearly 200k with a fully ima ed sniper, and another is just utterly pasting people with a shotgun.

>>7511 *fully min maxed

>>7112 I prefer the one where he is falling from an explosion in the sky with a beer mug in hand.

Is this worth upgrading my graphics card to play?

>>7518 It's from 2008. A normal PC from today can probably run it.

>>7523 That union was a mafia front though

>>7534 That mafia front was based though. Only bootlickers cares about the legality of Unions, not many people have the luxury of forming legal unions especially if it is outlawed. Besides it's wrong to take money from some wannabe bourgie so a real estate developer notices how gay he has for him. Would be a better choice to take money from the union to take out the don in a coup then the other choice mentioned above.

>>7525 London was the best.

2077 was disappointing. It has a significantly worse open world than GTA and its gameplay is just a shittier version of what all the Deus Ex games have been doing since forever.

Can't pirate it, costs too much especially with dlc and I don't want to use ubishit launcher. But it does look enticing.

>>7102 it's literally the only game i own on ubishit, got it on a sale during one of the dlc releases. no idea why this game in particular has no crack, crackwatch comments were full despair when an entire year passed without one. people who managed to get it on steam can probably still pirate the dlc

Very cool to see actual anarchists represented in a mainstream game. Chuckled when the anarchist dude asked me to demolish my police station and admonished me for building a fur coat factory.

I'd prefer cock and ball torture

Another bad Goichi Suda game full of terrible mechanics but trying real hard to be cool.

>>6842 >trying real hard to be cool This is my shit.

watched all the bosses in a lets play... would never bother to play it myself

I played through the 1st and 2nd recently. Pretty neat games even with the jank and repetition. Liked 1 better than 2 way more though. You can really tell the latter was unfinished and rushed with how they padded out the latter levels and with how undeveloped a lot of aspects of the plot are.

My brother played the very first one on the Wii when it came out. When he got on the motorcycle I found it unbearable to watch with its popups and tamagotchi-tier resolution, and I'm not a graphics freak.

>>7503 >What is she good or bad at? Melee, blunt weapons, dodging, survival, lock picking, and health care. All the essentials needed for rioting. >What is her history before the apocalypse? Laid off worker that participated in the riots, separated from Rodina and wants to find her >What did she do as hobbies? Girls, hiking, general delinquency, and organizing local programs like food drives. >Where is she when you find her? Maybe a special building that can generate randomly out of town like an abandoned industrial building where she has barricaded the lower floor and made a crib up in the catwalks and rafters. >How did she get there? It was her workplace before it was shuttered so she knew where it was and why it was abandoned. She broke her leg in the riots and her car broke down just as she got there, so she can't go out alone and survives off the surrounding wildlife and woodlands. >What could she want from you as the player? First finding Rodina, then getting seeds and dirt to make a roof garden, then rebuilding the lower section of the building and finding new NPCs, making a small community in the old factory sorta parallel to the refugee center.

>>7510 Some of these I already had as ideas for another character i wrote and have already written into another faction so how you feel about these changes: >What is she good or bad at? All these seem good to me, except maybe with computers, because of below. >What is her history before the apocalypse? I had this idea that she was some office-worker for some shitty corp and when the riots started happening and the corp closed. >What did she do as hobbies? no changes from me here. >Where is she when you find her? Once her former employees offices closed, she could no longer afford rent and the riots started getting bad, she started to just sleeping in the server rooms beneath he offics assuming it's safe there, this is where you could find her. With her cat She was there the night of the cataclysm, resting from the last several days rioting and the dead raising, etc. She's hunkered down ever since, sometimes going out to get small amounts of supplies from near by. >What could she want from you as the player? Like the first part but I want there to be a larger leftist faction that you have the option of convincing her to join later on, maybe with her office then even becoming an extension of that. (there is another faction she might join that i already wrote but that is a secret ;).) I have some ideas for missions I think could be good for beginning: 1. kill zombies on other levels of building, 2. get her a hammer and screwdriver. followed by: 2.5. bring her planks of wood and nails. - essentially ripping up furniture in the office - to baricade windows and doors.

also, we should consider if we want to go with the mainline DDA fork or the Bright Nights fork, or both. DDA is more near-future where bright nights is sci-fi.

>>7526 I was considering the same. I'm thinking mainline for now and hopefully we can add extra content for BN. Also i'd like to see some more basic factions in vanilla and for BN to become more developed first and become more refined even if it means sticking with vanila lore. Can you guys tell me how Alunya could be as a person? so i can choose traits and make the dialogue i write for her right now feel less wooden. Character traits, etc?

>>7529 I accidentally made her male, but here's a sketch. Maybe no cooking and some survival. And there are plenty more cat perks to add if you want, though I'm not sure how catty she is. Need a furry in here asap to offer advice.

>>3077 >visual novels/dating sims/otome Is otome considered such a different genre or something? are there that many girls on this site, or is it because otome offers a different kind of experience? I would hope it's both, I feel lonely. What you consider "generic anime style" is not clear, but if you like eroge about consent, there's an otoge called Cute Demon Crashers. As an OELVN, it also has an obligatory bisexual option. https://vndb.org/v17210 The thing is, there's very few 18+ otome games, and even fewer in English: https://vndb.org/v/all?q=&fil=tag_inc-542.tagspoil-0.lang-en&rfil=minage-18&cfil=&s=title&o=a There's also my game

There's a VNDB thread about adding FOSS and Open Source as descriptors (separate from "Freeware") on visual novel releases in the database. https://vndb.org/t15173

>>7351 >You -- against the atom, the charm and the spin. Where the whole world failed -- matter failed to bend to human will; human will failed to get out of bed and ties its laces -- you alone, single-handedly will rebuild the dreams of the working class. You are The Last Communist.

>He's not okay. This is just another black day, in a row of black days -- something *strange* is keeping him together, making him endure... >...an idea. Told to him by grown ups, from radio towers and leaflets, in a beautiful print when he was still a teenager: everything is possible. If we fight.

>>6535 did you really expect that to be the starting point for the game? literally everything in the plot was building up to that moment as being the final confrontation, personally i sort of expected to die during it

>>3284 Magical realism

"It was real. I'd seen it. I'd seen it *in reality*." >"The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone -- everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the word. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed." >"And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world," he's silent for a second. "You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*." >"That the bourgeois are not human."

>When you try to load up a game in TNO, but it gets stuck on "Becoming the sick man" Feels annoying man

>>7387 Fun Fact: In the mod, there exists a leftist revolutionary as one of the leaders, and one of the devs actually interviewed them so they can get info on how he was like. They got in trouble with DisCIArd as a result. It's based as shit.

>>7428 Aye, another (Albeit not so) fun fact is that one of the devs (Well, before she left over the fallout before that happened) was part of CHAZ, and she was the one that had that fake twitter 'cap made in the /leftypol/ thread on CHAZ

>>7400 >Too radlib for me

>>7387 The ideologies are actually mapped out pretty well

Reminder there was nothing wrong with the ending of Mankind Divided.
>b-b-but the main plot is unresolved
"No".
The game starts with you witnessing a terrorist attack, the game follows you tracking down the terrorist group and their leader, and the game ends with you stopping their leader.
>b-b-but the loose threads
Why does that mean the main story was not finished? The narrative was complete, the mission you embarked on was accomplished. The "loose threads" are there for clues at what is to come of the trilogy
>b-b-but that's unacceptable
Well that depends - if you like a movie series such as The Lord of the Rings, or pretty much any non-anthology tv show, then surely you don't think it's unacceptable? They have loose threads that won't be resolved until the sequel/followup, so why do you treat Mankind Divided differently?

>>2695
the terrorist attack is immediately shown to be a false flag for some higher up conspiracy, and that's the main plot. the terror group is a sideshow. Jensen being a double agent trying to take down the illuminati takes up as much if not more playtime than dealing with the terror group. It'd be like Deus Ex 1 ending after you get to lebedev. There was clearly more to the story.

>>2695
>They have loose threads that won't be resolved until the sequel/followup, so why do you treat Mankind Divided differently?
I don't like Witcher 2, but one problem it didn't have was this one. The story within the game was done well enough that ending it on a cliffhanger didn't bother anyone. Mankind Divided dropped the ball, and very clearly for trying to squeeze as much as they could out of fans.

I've only played through it twice, and in one "session" so maybe i'll lighten up on it if I ever replay it, but I don't feel an urge to. Whereas with every other game in the series I have gone back to multiple times. It wasn't awful, I had fun playing it, it just wasn't at the level of the rest of them.

>>2694
>use melee weapons(aim for the back)
ah fuck, never tried that. thanks for the pointer.

Does Deus Ex (2000) actually hold up? Not really speaking from a gameplay perspective which I don't care about, but more story and dialogue-wise. From what I can gather the whole story is basically a hackeyed collection of le ebin X-files tier conspiracy theories except they're TRUE :O but maybe there's more to it and it's actually worth playing. Got to Chinatown last time I played the game and I don't remember being terribly impressed, but maybe I should give it another go?

There's already a similar project from the /GET/ community you could check it out >>1546

>>6374 gonna be honest, that other prohect doesn't interest me at all, girl stalin waifu sounds way more fun.

>>6370 Why not a dating sim similar to that, but you can date rule 63'd versions of the rest of the Soviet leadership aswell, maybe some generals aswell? Imagine dating a animeified-genderswapped version of Beria lmao

Girl Stalin still has the mustache.

>Genderswapped male historical figures >Ironic VN >waifu >dictator Cringe tbh >dating sim That better not be a synonym for "visual novel" You wanna make a dating simulator, do it properly: no narration, only dialogue, dates and stats, preferably several love interests; that would be super fun and likely wouldn't get too long. Wanna make a visual novel, it's gonna have at least dozens of thousands of words and minimal gameplay, and it would honestly be more boring to read something like this with that premise. Mixing both wouldn't hurt, but in my experience, it usually doesn't go well. My ideal would be a visual novel with romance but focused on story, taking place in the Soviet Union, with several original characters being the love interests. But I would indeed like a romance game about romancing Stalin and other high ranking officials or important people of the USSR. It would be funny if you avoid being too cringy. But why genderbend them when there are already important or famous Soviet women like Roza Shanina or Lyudmila Pavlichenko? Hope you come back to this thread in the future and update us on your progress.
