/v/ how do you clear a backlog of long ass games its mostly jrpg games does that make it impossible?
First, stop fucking lying to yourself. If you play a game for about 3 or 4 hours and then put it down, you probably don't like that game and should just sell/remove the game from your list.
Second: Your attention span needs addressing. You've been posting on 4chan which updates at the speed of sound, probably with 12+ tabs open. Stop this. This is giving you onset ADD. Open only one tab at a time. Learn to force yourself to play the game longer. Ignore rule one to do so.
Three: If you hate a game but are only curious to how it ends, stop playing it and just look it up on youtube.
There, I cut out like 75% of your list and gave you motivation to clear the rest. You're welcome.

I've been playing the demo for Disgaea 5 for the Switch, and been having some fun with it.
Would you guys recommend picking it up for the Switch?
>>386423980
It has all the DLC included, and runs the ga,e better than the Vita version.
Do it.

He had the innate potential, after all. Also, will > genetics or training in JRPGs.

Cloud passed the physical portion of the SOLDIER exam. He failed the psych test.

more like cutscene > gameplay in JRPGs
Are Japanese games better because they're more absurd? Why is it that western games tone down absurdism, and Japan cranks it up, and do you think that effects how good the games are? I'm not saying serious games are bad, there's definitely a lot of great ones, but on the whole I feel like they're less fun.
Even games like GTA V have gone a more realistic route whereas the most fun in Yakuza 0 was fucking around doing all the weird shit. The only western game I can think that embraces being weird is the Saints Row series which seems dead unless Agents of Mayhem is good.
GTA is just as if not more absurd than Yakuza, you'd have to be biased as fuck not to see that.
>>386423275
Game play can still be fun even if the lore or world tries to be rooted in some form of realism. And even in games involving fantasy or Sci fi, the game has more than its fair share of absurdities but still tries to lay down some ground rules in the form of natural laws or established background lore. Japan just says fuck it make it more stupid or ridiculous even if it doesn't make sense.
>>386423275
GTA is more wacky than Yakuza. The characters and worlds are outlandish and the sandbox gameplay makes it even more crazy. Yakuza just has forced humor and flashy qte/cinematics, but it's all on the rail.

When was the last time a video game gave you dopamine explosions just thinking about playing?

anon thats not healthy
Also playing almost 100% blind. I knew nothing going in. This game reminds me of something in the vain of hl2, new vegas, yakuza, stalker.
Chose clan gangrel, but kinda regretting it. The animal shit is kinda lame so far. Plus I my seems like a class for melee builds and I'm doing ranged. I guess it's fine for 1st play through though.

I recommended NG+ in order to gain more blood echoes then farm a lot.
Level up you HP to 99 and there you go.

something about burgers or crayons
Tropes you enjoy in vidya:
Characters that have been desensitized to everything and are compelled to seek higher and higher thrills at the cost of all else.
>main antagonist speaks to the protagonist for the entirety of the game through comms
>main antagonist and protagonist team up to fight a greater evil
>factions in the game's story are portrayed as not entirely good nor evil
any one of these

What games employ the last one? MGS comes to mind. Most developers seem to pussy out of the everyone is 'different shades of grey' approach. I guess they believe the black and white approach is safer.
Dorian Gray?
I played and beat the pic related.
While wanting to play the next one, I also want not to progress through the series, because I heard that DR3 is an abomination and it ruined the series.
Should I stop or go?
Definitly play DR2. IMO, it's even better than the first. DR3 isn't really the abomination you seem to think it is. It's fun to watch, because it's just a pretty crazy story like the 2 games, but they try to answer some questions that were better left unanswered, and that part was pretty unsatisfying and anticlimactic.
>>386422835
Play the next one, maybe UDG if that's your thing (it was mine--I loved every second of it), then wait for V3 next month, then never look back.
>>386422835
Simply play DR 2 and don't watch DR 3.
DRV3 ruins the story even worse anyways, but at least the cases are good.
Simply don't play this series for the story.
what are you playing to avoid real life right now?
I guess we could call it 'procrastiplaying', AMIRITE BOYS?!
Me? Well, I'm revisiting an old gem I used to play when I was younger... when I had all the time in the world to play vidya and the real world didn't matter. Trackmania Nations Forever.
There's still a good amount of people playing, surprisingly, which makes me happy. Considering downloading Gunbound again too, just to really get the nostalgia pumping.
This will be our secret thread, OP. Because no one will post in it except you and me.

... what?
Real talk, why has Sony not released a revision of the PS4 Pro with UHD / 4K Blu-Ray support? Without 4K Blu-Ray player its utility as a 4K entertainment box is limited pretty much just to some PS4 games and some streaming.
Sony's got a financial stake in 4K Blu-Ray and yet the only console that supports it is the Xbox One S and X. That seems incredibly counterproductive. While it's impossible to add it to existing PS4 Pro units there's nothing stopping Sony from adding that feature to new ones, and it would make the system a much more attractive and obvious purchase for new 4K TV buyers.
>>386422212
no one buys HD blue rays
I don't understand why they don't do this, and why they dont have better support through apps for 4K. I would expect them to be pushing both of these things, but at least one of them with their psuedo 4K box.
