V is the newest, has an English translation and physical release, and has lots of fanservice goodness but also has dlc jewery and its gameplay is not nearly the best the series offers besides a few QoL improvements.

J is a lot older and for the GBA but has a fan translation, and some fan favorite OCs. Easy to emulate too.

If you're in it for gameplay and not fanservice, Moon Dwellers has a poor but understandable translation and pretty gud gameplay. But it's like the fourth game in the series and you'd need to play the much older and dated OG1 and OG2 to get the gist of what is going on.

And Z1 is generally considered the absolute best of the whole series but isn't in English at all, to understand the plot you'll need to read along with the (completed and admittedly good) LP thats been archived.

Beyond that, just pick a game with a roster you like and check the general on /m/ to see if there's any translation.

It was fun to make, our teacher was a huge gaming guy, a friend of mine specifically requested it (I was going to talk about Queen originally), and since it was a test of our presentation skills and English speaking abilities (English being a foreign language for us, I'm a eurofag), we could talk about literally anything.

I don't know why this is such an embarrassing question to answer for people. So, let's just assume you're going to give a truthful answer, and let's also assume the truthful answer is a game that makes you look weird/nerdy. There are generally two possibilities:

1. Whoever you're talking to doesn't play video games too often and therefore would have no clue about whatever niche game is your favorite, so he wouldn't be able to judge you on the content/context of the game

2. The person does know about the game, but at that point is into video games enough that it wouldn't be embarrassing and you'd both be talking on the same page.

I was like that in high school because I was always rejected for my tastes. But then I acted the same way with my friends and I lost them because I never talked about anything. So nowadays I just say fuck it, I might still be rejected, but at least I might be able to keep my friends for once.

The same response that I got from them about the other games I like to play, feigned interest and then moving on to another topic. That's how grown-ups have conversations when there isn't a whole lot of common ground.

Unless you have an actual interest in the given person it's always best you keep it at the level of smalltalk and not the level of "I'll naively and autistically reveal all of my interests to you while you sit and take notes of what to make fun of me for later".

Same thing happened to me, but with a guy at gamestop. He even said "Xrd? You just made that up, didn't you?"

Before that, when Tekken Tag Tournament 2 came out, I asked if they had any arcade sticks and the cashiers didn't even know what those were. I get that CoD and that kind of thing are more popular than fighting games now, but I thought everyone in their late 20s had at least been to an arcade once.

People in the real world are monsters and are always looking for ways to manipulate you. Look, if you don't reveal your interests, you have nothing to lose. If you do, you're playing on the off-chance that they're nice and not someone who is going to use it against you later. When you expose yourself to someone, you're making yourself vulnerable to them. You don't do that with people you don't know or don't give a shit about. Telling someone what video games you play may be trivial but it can be taken a step further very easily, and people can make whole judgements on you based on something as simple as that. Simply telling them already reveals you're willing to tell things, which could be taken as naivety.

>Women talk about their interest because it makes them "quirky".

Nigga, what are you on? All women have essentially the same exact interests as every other woman.

As a man, you talk to other men about interesting things. Ideas, places, people, politics, etc. We're natural story tellers, and love hearing them. It doesn't really matter what the topic of the story is, as long as you tell it well.

insecure autismos think you have to give the entire plot of the game with pictures when people ask what game they like, or even worse, that people will bother looking this shit up themselves. When I tell people that I like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I don't say "It's the Gùshì of the Chuánqí de Zhànzhēng fought in Zhōngguó among Sān Pàixì that formed after the Ràng wèi of the Han Wángcháo" I'll just say "it's a strategy game about ancient China" which is much more concise.

This isn't even that "hiding your powerlevel" bullshit, it's basic human conversation. Even if Football is an "acceptable" interest, guess what's going to happen if you go on a long rant about your favorite player's stats or the winrate of a random team. They're going to get confused and/or annoyed anyway.

Also, even if I was talking about some crazy rapetastic hentai game, how would they know? You really think the average person is going to care enough to google it and see what you're talking about? Only other autistic internet nerds care enough to do that.

KoF is pretty much Latin America's Mortal Kombat, so everyone has at least heard of it.

This is the case in a lot of regions, actually. China and the middle east as well. SNK cabinets saved money since you could put 4 games in them and they were easy to pirate anyway, so they were everywhere 15-20 years ago.

This sounds just as stupid as saying "I like to play terrorist shooting military games with lots hard men in brown environments" or "I like to play revenge plot low fantasy games with dirty wenches" It's way too much detail when you could just say "I play video games."


Chances are, they're not going to ask you what kind anyway.

More like autismos on /v/ go crazy over video game opinions like no normal person ever would.

Also, it's not something I'd just bring up casually, but there is literally no reason to lie about it. If some guy asks a question like "do you play video games" I'll say yes, since I really don't gain anything from saying no. If he gets even more specific and actually says some retarded shit like "do you play weebshit" I know he's from this site anyway.

He knew about it and brought it up before I even mentioned it. We were just discussing Fallout or something one day and he randomly asked me if I had played it, then went into a bunch of detail about his favorite character and his playstyle with him. His wavedash technique is even better than mine since he's played for longer. You underestimate the popularity of Tekken in Europe.

Bad news for all of you failed normalfag wannabes: If you have the loser look, normalfags won't like you anyway. You could pretend to be the most normal and boring person ever, but knowing how /v/ behaves, you'll still look like this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTN6gL21F60
I mean, he's talking about fucking sports or something, he still looks like a retard. Yes, I know you are all the kinds of people that use made up terms like weeaboo and dropping spaghetti in public.
If they're going to hate you anyway, you might as well not even attempt to befriend them or lie in order to impress them because they don't like who you really are. (this is not the same thing as "identifying as a gamer, because if you have to put thought towards supressing it, it must be something you put a significant amount of thought towards for this to even be an argument. I don't worry about whether or not I should bring up Chinese mythology in front of people because it's not a subject I study very often, nor do I care enough about it to think about whether or not people will laugh at me for knowing who Guan Yu the war god is.) I mean, if you have to cosplay as a normalfag just to get people to like you, it wasn't worth it. I casually mentioned Japanese sex dolls and hentai to an old guy at my job and he didn't give a shit because he still thought I was an interesting and helpful person. Just stop trying to converse with shallow teenagers and you'll be fine.

ITT: People with speech impediments that failed creative writing and can't summarize their favorite game in one or two sentences.

I have actual autism and I can still figure this stuff out. Seriously. Someone name a JRPG now and I'll tell you how you explain it to a normalfag. I'll even list some examples.

>Chrono Trigger (Don't go off on a tangent about Toriyama unless they really like DBZ)
It's an adventure game boy and his friends go on a journey through time to save the future.

>Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (don't call it Ankoku Ryuu)
It's a like a board game where a prince wants to kill a dragon to restore his kingdom and save his land.

>Megami Tensei/Persona (Just call the game by it's subtitle, e.g. Devil Summoner or Strange Journey)
It's a dungeon exploring game where you make deals with demons.

Well that's because if you mention anything that they haven't heard about, they're going to assume you don't like video games at all because, as far as they're concerned, they only hear about and play the "best" games, the ones with AAA budgets and heavy amounts of advertising. Better games then that don't exist to them, because how would they, they would have heard of them, right? If you don't like "good" games and they do, you must be an enemy in their eyes.

Or, the opposite can happen, and if they hear something really foreign to them, they'll assume you know literally everything about video games, and that, by proxy, you are a virgin and have no life and they must get away from you lest they be infected with the virginity curse.

I can't be the only one, but at work I listen almost exclusively to video game ost's while getting work done, specifically snes titles and jrpgs, sometimes the same ost a couple times a week.

Not that that's my only taste in music, there's also thrash metal, metal and hard rock in general, and select artists in electronic music (stuff that is and sounds like Carpenter Brut and then some), and the rare rap and hip hop pre-2008.

Artstyle remains subjective but I still dislike the filmic feel of the environment. I much prefer 1's atmospere. Gameplay and animations weren't as clunky I guess, though the gear curve and locked boxes were pretty gay.

1's guns were just better minus the rocket launcher. There's somehow less variation in 2 than one and the classes and class mods were kinda shit.

You are definitely a normie if you call Mozart your favorite composer. He's just the most popular one that people still know. That's the safest fucking answer in the book, like saying Citizen Kane is your favorite movie or Bebop is your favorite anime.

At least go with Chopin.

The only thing I hide from them is that I post here, and I'm scared of what they'd think if I did.
Also that I jerk off to my cow titty skyrim waifu but that's a secret I don't think I'll ever tell anyone irl.

So what are your favorite anime, then?
>>
>>377550280
Nah, it's just that the real answer is that all you need to do is press the fucking related artists button once in a while.

You like videogame osts? Then fucking Google some SNES chiptune artists. Like rap? What part of it you like, there are entire genres developed from it.

Culture yourself.

>No I have no clue what I listen to so I just use rock because I have the personality of a plank
Oh I see you're inbred and a lost cause. Kill yourself then.

Yeah, that's why I only listen to it while I'm doing work, or when I'm actually playing said game. But I do occasionally go into movie osts as well, mostly atmospheric and instrumental stuff, I specifically avoid music with sung lyrics while working, find it too distracting. When I commute it's straight up thrash metal, it's good driving music for me but horrible for trying to do work with.

You literally would not know this unless you look this shit up. Do you really think the average regular, human being knows about furry shit or the dark corners of the internet that contain these people? You have to be seriously disconnected from reality to believe this. It's like thinking everyone knows about anime convention sex because they saw DBZ on tv once.

Are you referring to the CSI thing? That doesn't really mention Sonic in any way whatsoever. How many regular people have you asked about this kind of thing?

Why is it that the world traveling types have the worst cases of unwarranted self importance? They look down on EVERYONE else's interests, even the other normalfags. "You watch TV? Heh, I went to France last week." Oh wow, I'm sure impressed by your pilgrimage to the terrorist caliphate with baguettes. Do they thinkt his makes them special? I feel like most waste money and time on these trips just to brag about them and don't even care about the culture and history as much as they really claim to.

there are people THAT dumb and they litter the world
why do you think 80-90% of an mmo's playerbase is dps?
>>
>>377552549
Lol tanking/healing aren't some super special club that require super special traits to do. A Realm Reborn was my first mmo ever and i played through the whole base game blind as a tank and rarely had issues. Lots of people are just lazy and would prefer a role with no responsibility, but anyone could tank if they wanted

It's a better role for lazy people who don't want responsibility, but that doesn't mean those 80% of people couldn't tank if they wanted

Well no. Normies will say Mozart or Beethoven, the middle-tryhards will say something else which is actually equally as entry-level and probably worse, and then the patricians will realise Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach are ridiculously famous for very good reasons. Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach are truly among the very best. An almost exclusive piano composer the best composer? Are you serious?
