CHIM, from the Elder Scrolls series.

Basically, the Elder Scrolls universe is the dream of some divine god-being if I understand it correctly, and when you achieve CHIM, you realize you're in a dream, and can thus affect the world around you.

Basically, I feel like we're all zombies living in the dream of a long-dead god. Or maybe something more akin to Elon Musk's cockamamie theories about Simulation Theory.

I just played fairy fencer and although I haven't played a kept in over a decade I like it.

I'm thinking of getting a release of the game that has me content and tweeks, but I remember that's retarded.

Mario is kind of cute

I want more games like Factorio, not super autistic though, they need to be made JUST RIGHT so they are enjoyable but not tedious

I still can't decide what i should make my first Shadowrun: Hong Kong character. I'm just too damn indecisive.

Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360)

I have to press a button after every sentence to advance the scene, you can't skip cut-scenes and there are like thousands of 'em...

I get that the Japs hate Microsoft but actually manipulating your own game on just one platform (PS3 version is patched) is fucking insane.

Also where the hell is my Vesperia PC port ?

Fuck, forgot pic

Boss battles, rather the way a fair amount of them are handled. They are why I play a lot of boss rush games such as Alien Soldier, Furi, Gunstar Heroes and Shadow of the Colossus, and why I'm looking forward to Cuphead (though I do have some disappointment from having to force in stages to please people). Of anything, they are one of my favorite aspects about any video game, but I always feel like a lot of them are not handled the way they should be or could be. That can involve the boss not being satisfying to go against or being needlessly frustrating.

I usually don't like the balance that occurs for some bosses in games such as Persona where a large number of spells you learn are immune to bosses. This brings balance into question, but I do feel the impact of it should be present, even if it is reduced to make the boss challenging. I'm not wanting one-hit kills or stuns, but rather something that makes learning the spell mechanics beneficial during the most important parts of the game instead of being forced to rely only on basics.

Poorly satisfactory victories from boss battles are why I dropped Final Fantasy 13. When I reached the pope/monk/priest boss the first time, I spent a fair amount of time fighting him. After whatever time, I finally managed to beat him, but almost immediately in the cutscene, he descends down unharmed and unscathed as if I didn't just spend all of that time fighting him. If he showed any kind of wear and tear, scratches, damage, or even heavy breathing or panting, I would have been satisfied, but none of that was present and I felt no satisfaction from defeating the boss. I dropped the game then.

I still like boss battles, but I sometimes feel that there should be a reevaluation on how to implement them in some games. It's not about looking for perfection, but making them satisfactory to fight and defeat without feeling like it's a waste of time.

Fuck you Square Enix. Fuck all of you to hell

Everything you touch dies, everything I love has been killed off because of your stupid fucking management. I hope when Japan gets nuked a 3rd time we have the warhead aimed at your god damned location

>You merged with Enix just for Dragon Quest then fired most of their former employees
>Gave Nomura Final Fantasy
>Bought out Eidos just to can all their projects when you force them to make shitty sequels and reboots

But the most fucked thing you've ever done, I mean the absolute downright despicable, scum sucking, fucked in the head thing I've ever seen was buying out Taito completely and shelving them for good.

How dare you cocksucking gooks take away the best arcade devs. We haven't gotten a good Darius game, Bubble Bobble, Puzzle Bobble, or fucking anything for 7 years.

I hope your precious Nobunaga rises up from the grave and fucks your daughters while his dragon army forces you to watch.

I hope Japan falls so deep into a recession that you'll be outsourced as a cheaper form of labor for China.

I hope you all get the bubonic plague and I'm the only one with access to the cure, so I can smash it on the ground as the light fades from your slanted eyes, you yellow fucks.

All because I failed trying to export the game for android devices. It somewhat turned me off and it has been months since I opened the software.

Tennis on Wii U is not actually bad. Just very barebones, unfortunately. But it plays well.

I haven't played the new ones so I don't know if they're really as bad/plain as people say they are but it's pretty depressing seeing an intro compilation for the games just for the Wii U game to have a title screen & nothing else, it really looks like those games have lost their charm.

What are some upcoming purchases for you guys? Will probably pick up the crash trilogy next month and looking forward to ff12 zodiac age, never played the original. What games is the combat similar to?

I wish Nintendofags would realize that Switch doesn't have an impressive launch window line-up if you owned a Wii U. From my perspective, ARMS, a bunch of eShop titles and Mario Odyssey are the only games coming out this year that I didn't already play on the last system.

>inb4 Spla2n is a sequel
>inb4 Mario Kart 8 DX has real battle mode

I want to enjoy vidya again and experience the fun levels that I used to but I fear I've grown too old. I go back and play old vidya to try and spark my love of it again, but I just can't force myself to play it. New games usually take themselves too seriously so I can't even be bothered to play them.

GTAV makes me feel swindled if I think too hard about it, money rewards for missions and weapons and car upgrade prices are hilariously awful, unlock progression as you level up is unbalanced as all fuck which totally breaks any kind of competitiveness and skill in any PvP scenario. AI detection and aim are also all sorts of fucked up, cops aren't the only faction in the game that gets the HA HA i SNIPE U W/ SHOTGUN aim and it makes PvE missions less fun and less rewarding. both situations stack up to make these really fucked up incentives where players buy and never get out of their armored karumas or dukes of death or insurgents. nobody wants to do anything other than free mode shit because they don't have to get out of their vehicles, even after joining GTAG I still haven't found anybody willing to do missions or heists, not that I want to either, and as soon as I reach level 100 I probably won't even bother with them any more like everybody else

I'm personally pretty alright with the list & optimistic about E3 showing more. I am pretty pissy over Mario Kart 8 Deluxe though, they totally screwed Wii U players by not giving us the new shit in a update or DLC. I don't think paying $60 for a game I already own (which I payed more than that due to DLC on Wii U) is worth it just because they added stuff that really should've been there from the start (Actual Balloon Battle courses). It's not like I can easily sell my Wii U copy, get all my money back & replace it with the new version since you can't sell the DLC and the main copy of the game will always go for less than what you payed for it.

I wish the industry would crash already or at least stop making so many fucking sequels and remakes to everything, why do so many retards and normies eat this shit up?

I have been doing everything I can to try to get my rank up, just playing DPS, using my Mic in every match, do practice drills, accommodating my team and playing heals as needed and so on.

But every time I hit 2000 I hit a huge losing streak drop down to like 1900.

This was bullshit, and they did the same thing with Star Ocean 4.

If you can't do it in real life, unless it's magic, you shouldn't be able to do it in a Zelda game either. Also, the only people qualified to direct Zelda games are Aonuma, Tezuka, and Miyamoto.

Koizumi is not fit. Super Mario 3D World and the Iwata Asks where Miyamoto says he wanted Mario to say "Where's my mommy" in Galaxy shows that. Fujibayashi is an all around hack. BotW is good, but the bad parts all reek of his doing.

I'm on the edge with buying video games at this point. I've come to the point where I don't think anything else will interest me. After a mix of letdowns and disappointments, I don't think I want to follow video games anymore. I have a large backlog anyway, so buying newer games seems like a waste.

I feel that the passion for gaming has been lost, not for me, but the industry. I'm baffled how we have games in the early 90's that are mechanically superior to games in 2017. Hell, the 80's if you want to go that far. Example: Smash 4 not having jump momentum vs. Super Mario Bros.. I didn't even realize it until someone pointed it out when the game first released. There's also the Sonic games that rely on momentum and physics. Even the Gamegear games had this, yet modern Sonic titles can't do this? Mania is on my radar, mind you.

tl;dr gaming isn't what it used to be.

>>377708191
I'm a little tired of people claiming that the Wii U had a great launch line up compared to the Switch because it had more games. Those ports may have been great and all but good luck convincing people otherwise when the main gimmick is a turnoff to most.

The Switch demonstrates what Nintendo needed the most and it was solid first party titles from the start. While Zelda and Mario Kart are ports, they are around the launch of the systems and not after its already dead in the water.

>>377725712
Good games can always be found. The average quality could possibly be down but there are more good games now than then. History has a way of forgetting the countless bad games.

I got a 32 gig micro SD recently, a big upgrade from my 4 gig, and I downloaded Yokai Watch on the 3DS. I originally wrote it off because I didn't understand the combat in the demo I played, but I'm actually enjoying it so far, and it's gotten a couple laughs from me. The combat is weird at first, but I can see why it caught on with kids so much, considering it's essentially just a bunch of minigames. There are even some designs I quite like, like Cadin.
