Ok so I'm interested in getting into the Thief series. I've heard the most recent one lacks a lot of the charm. But the first one feels really dated and sort of hard to get into.
How should I proceed? Is there mods? Or should I start on 2? Or what? Thief thread.

Are you implying something anon? This post is NOT progressive at all.
You can start with 2.
I've started with 2, then played Deadly Shadows.
Storywise, you'll get what's going on because 2 takes its time to start with the plot but it will clue you in what happened in the previous game when it's reached that point.
Deadly Shadows, while not as good, is still very much a Thief game when it comes to the level design of the mission objectives, and it concludes the trilogy with one of its best areas.
I still plan on finishing 1, but for me it failed to hook me in. With 2, I was engaged the moment I stepped through the door of a mansion in the first mission. The game is unbelievably good in conveying the feeling of you being a competent thief and a stalker in the shadows who can knock guards unconscious left and right, but otherwise are worth dick when you're caught and forced into combat. Don't get caught.

Is Nintendo finally listening?
0.10$ have been added to your Nintendo account.

1080p was probably always the target, it was just down to optimization for the hardware. Splatoon already ran at 720p on Wii U and Switch has a faster GPU so there was no reason for it not to run at a higher resolution.

my contract promised 0.15 you fuck
I'm fed up /v/. All these games on PSN and I have lost interest in everything. Every game looks the same and demands that you commit your life to it (if you even want to understand the story, at least). I've found that the more realistic the game is, the less I want to do with it. I played games growing up because they looked cool, not real. Anyone else feel the same?
Also, recommendations on a PS4 game to get into (one that won't suck my soul and wallet dry) besides Paladins
About half of Steep was good. But yeah, I hate "realistic" games. Everything is just the same template, and it's a really shit template.
>>380499693
Nice blog post faggot.
>>380499857
Never heard of it, but was always a big SSX fan so could get into that. Strange how as a kid I couldn't wait to see how graphics would evolve. Didn't realize how it would turn out.
So he still has a chance for an announcement right?
>>380499692
I fucking swear I better get a new Wario Ware for the Switch. I don't give two shit for Metroid
>>380499692
I can dream, but no.
>>380499858
Fuck this, we need Warioland baby
Who knew about this game, seriously.
>>380499332
It's the most underrated resident evil
I went out with an indie developer does that count
>>380499332
Anyone that knows what resident evil is??
Why would a Wii U owner buy a Nintendo Switch
I already have MK8 and BotW on Wii U. I don't see myself justifying a $300+ purchase for Mario Odyssey and MAYBE Splatoon 2.
FUUUUUUAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKK YOU YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS QUEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN SLLLLLLLAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYUYYYYYYYY
>>380499182
I have a Wii U and I might get it for Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Puyo Puyo, and Mario XCOM.
>>380499182
Yeah it's a shame they're ending support after October this year

What's a gorund and how do you break it?

How awful would it be if we made two separate boards; console vidya games /cv/, and PC vidya games /pcv/?
I think it would fix a lot of problems desu
how about put Thread IDs and flags to reveal shitposters easily.
/vint/ proved that

Nope just fuel for shitposting
Last week, Peerless Steel (and major steel and aluminum vendor supplying the machining industry here in metro Detroit) had a big customer appreciation BBQ lunch, which included a raffle for all kinda stuff and I filled out a ticket, not expecting to win anything but today I got call from them to come pick up my new XBOX ONE Minecraft Edition 500GB/Go video game (which appears to be worth $250!).
Now I’m 49 years old and haven’t played video games since the 1990s (Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 and Age of Empires PC games) so I’m not hip to what’s out there and am looking for some suggestions for cool video games (it comes with three Minecraft games) and any other pointers I ought to know.
I'll also mention that I've got a 15 year old nephew who has an XBOX and a WEE and some other kinda video game I believe, so he'll be helping me set it up (and kicking my ass six ways to Sunday) but I don't want to come across as a decrepit old fart, so any appropriate video gaming lingo and such you can drop on me would be appreciated.
what in the fuck
call him a "video game lad"
he'll get the reference, all true gamers do
>grandpas
>on 4chan
go watch mash geezer
What you have done different?
I would have finished it
I would have dropped the doppelganger shit entirely.
I would have focused on BB's rise to power and recruitment of foxhound members
I would have done several smaller maps 1-4 times the size of the cuba map rather than two empty deserts, and one of them would have been snow.

The thing that always got me about Kojima is that literally anyone but him can plan his own games out better.
I think that was, at one point in his life, his wish.
Eventually, he just made them shitty on purpose and took money from Konami for pet projects, it's really no surprise they fired him.
>>380498936
Drop the open world and instead work in military zones around the world with a huge amount of details and levels (similar to Shadow Moses).
No Venom Snake deal, instead BB dealing with Zero and Skull Face. BB recruiting future FOXHOUND members, stamina and life bar
>using a "core" party in a JRPG instead of using all characters equally
Why do people do this?
Because Wakka can suck my dick
>>380498716
Because the game encourages one playstyle over the other.
I don't like having to farm enough money to keep everyone in the best equipment.
Who prefers these pieces of shit over a controller? These two are mine, one works for both ps3/ps4 and the SFxTekken one works for both 360/Bone and they both suck dick.
Feels like more work done awkwardly. A controller is so much better for dashing and hitting those tricky Zs. I could see if I used one for 5 years straight maybe but I see no reason too.
Anyone else prefer this garbage over a controller? Why?
Also, Darkstalkers thread.
>muh dick
>>380498268
i do not know who or why anyone would buy one of these. even back in the day playing mvc2 it was wack using. nostalgia purposes and normie entertaining i suppose
>>380498268
I hope Capcom never revives darkstalkers. Imagine the damage they'd do to it. Honestly not even arc sys works could do it justice, even if they are the best in the business atm.
this kills the sonybro
>persona
sign me the fuck up
>>380497905
Pretty much confirms that SEGA was just testing the waters with Valkyria Chronicles first, and now gave us Vanquish and Bayonetta since VC did well.
Seeing as Vanquish and Bayo supposedly did well too, it's only a matter of time until we get Yakuza and Persona.
Best timeline, PC always wins baby.
>Gets every one of their games from consoles
>Still attacks console users non-stop
What the fuck is their problem?
Why does Japan always have good UI? It's always clear on what things do and intuitive. Whereas in Western games you get over complicated menus to sift through, specifically Western RPG's. UI is important because of presentation but American developers haven't gotten it down.
P5's UI is a fucking eyesore
