how deep is 2deep4me in video games?

i think most of this is made up

Depends on what you define as "deep".
Mechanically?
Personally, I draw the line around most grand strategies, or games like Dwarf Fortress, Ultima Ratio Regum or Aurora. The most I could enjoy was probably modded Factorio (with heavy use of combinators and shit like recursive blueprints), ARMA 3 with semi-serious outfit or heavily modded Kerbal.

Story-wise?
Well, I honestly don't think games ever even got any deeper than Pathologic or The Void, story-wise. And those two happen to be the first two games on my all-time favorite lists.

>>385711121
As far as I can tell, it's all real stuff. You can google it all up if you want.
The hierarchy or the logic on which it's listed is questionable at best though. Like fucking Moorhuhn, a free casual clicker being deeper than fucking Kerbal, or ARMA being on par with Deus Ex, or The Void on par with Aurora.

I guess it's supposed to reflect obscurity, rather than complexity or difficulty, but even then, it makes little sense.

On a side note, from tis particular list, the deepest I mentioned game I've played would be Život Není Krásný.
Those games were shit, by the way.

This chart is bad, newer games have only been added to it over time, never actually changed.

Halo hasn;'t been mainstream for over a decade, shit like Dark Souls, Battlefield, Monster Hunter, etc have been more mainstream then it for years.

>fucking skyrim not in The Kid Tier

>>385711003
This chart is shit. Everything below oldfag are 10 people at most.

>>385711003
Shit chart. Guess I'm somewhere between "The oldfag" and "The weird guy"

Why am I weird for like total war, hitman, and worms?

Dungeon Crawl in the Gregor tier can't refer to Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup right? That game isn't anything special or obscure.

the void, pathologic and aurora are all obscure as fuck though, chances are 90% of current posters on /v/ haven't a clue what any of those games are. they'll know LSD from false exposure though, because they lurked enough to know it's the defacto 'obscure game'

if anyone really knows their shit, explain this sigil I found, I've yet to find anyone that knows what this means - it's in the first garden level, and the 'waterfall' inherits whatever color you paint it with.

>>385712882
I don't even play horror games and I've seen Pathologic loads of times on here
It's nowhere near as obscure as Aurora

Is TIS-100 an example of a programming-based game?

>>385711003
Grand strategy should be on "the gamer"

never played anything below weird guy, and never heard of anything below oldfag

it's not really even a horror game so much as it's just outright unsettling, and yeah it's had a good number of threads over the years. if we rank the 3 on sheer /v/ exposure it'd be

1.aurora
2. the void
3. pathologic

and a lot of recent exposure for pathologic is because it's getting a remaster, it might be done already though, I haven't checked on that in some time.

>>385713016
it really is a programming based game, maybe not binary level programming, but the sentiment is there.

It's a trap which you can charge with color.
If a Brother tries to invade your garden and steal all of the color inside, this will trigger and harm him, hopefully making him wander off. The probability of success depends on how much color you charge it with.
It has to be recharged after it's triggered once.
You'll find one in every garden, and I think even in some of the mines. I never used these bloody things, to be honest. Waste of nerva.

Pathologic and The Void are somewhat notorious around here, to be honest. 90% of current day posters don't really know them, but 90% of current posters don't know Homeworld or Total War Shogun. Right now, on this board, Halo is considered a semi-obscure hardcore shooter series, so that does not matter that much.

Speaking of obscure games, anyone played pic related?

>>385712039
Good thing I'm part of that 10 person crew then. Gregor tier and proud of it.

>>385713204
binary level anything isn't programming, it's electronics

>>385711003
I'm solidly inbetween weird guy and oldfag. I think most people here are.

>>385713204

Nah, it's announced to come out late fall 2017, but somehow I have a feeling it will be delayed again. Or come out almost unplayable and will only get patched to playable state around summer next year.

There IS something they released, called "Marble Nest" though. It's a small proof-of-concept/playable-teaser/pre-alpha-prototype/demo thing. It's free on Steam, can be finished in about two hours, and gives you a pretty good idea of the kind of mood they are going for - even if most of the mechanics aren't in it, or are in very crude state.

You have exquisite taste, Actor.

>the deeper you go the shittier the games get
>players also get more autistic and more elitist about their shit games

Good luck getting your gf to play some obscure, shitty game with you. Nerds.

>>385712039
That's the point.

So Farmville and Angry Birds are better than Skyrim? I don't think your gf would agree with that

if they got something new that's even better than a remaster in my book.

>>385713227
your the first person to actually point out traps, I had a thought it might be a level based trap, but nobody had ever found that sigil so I was leaning between functional mechanic and obscure secret. as for waking mars, I've heard of it, but never got around to playing it

>>385711003
Why does "The Elder" looks like that?

Where does soulsborne fit into this?

Not sure if I understand this post... Remaster came out a while ago (Pathologic Classic HD), with new textures and new translation but old engine and gameplay.

They are right now working exclusively on a remake, which will change the game pretty much entirely - from engine to much of the writing and progression. It's still going to be retelling of the same (or more-or-less) same story of original.

They are not really working on anything else right now.
Marble Nest was a by-product of the Remake production, originally intended mainly to showcase to investors and on game conferences and such. They eventually decided to release it free as a kind-of-a-demo...

>>385713779
>I've heard of it, but never got around to playing it
It's remarkably good, and hugely underrated. Mechanically it's fairly simplistic, though original and at times quite fun, but it's mainly one of the best hard-sci-fi stories I've seen in game history in good while.

Nobody ever talks about it...

>>385714168
So are you saying all the other games in the gamer level aren't well known games?

Mine would.
Would rather play ANgry Birds than Skyrim any day.

on /v/ they are, the point of the list is relative to normies. every normie knows what dark souls is these days, but every time I bring up say - stalker, I have to make a 5 minute preface discussion that's it's not another japanese creeper rape game. I had this exact same discussion 2 weeks ago at a family re-union.

>>385715084
Hundreds of thousands?

>>385711786
What the fuck are you on?

More than a decade?

Halo reach, hate it or not, was its peak popularity and still has tens of thousands of people on Xbox 360 playing everyday, 7 years later

motherfucker I was going to link that exact mongolian throat singing song. Batzorig Vaanchig is the top of modern mongol throat singing though, it's a dying art.

HellMOO is a helluva thing.

>>385715084
A whole lot of people
Even if it wasn't played, it should still be much higher for its cultural significance. The fps genre survived because of it and a few others


Age doesn't determine its weirdness. I don't see PAC man or Galaga or asteroids on the elder tier, so quake has no business being in a tier with obscure jrpg shit

Nice vid saint

>>385715367
Welll, Batzorig Vaanchig has well over 7 mill views, the odds that it's the one people will think off first are pretty high.

It's like the odds of people talking about acapella groups and thinking of Pentatonix.

>>385715669
more or less yeah. it's a shame because there's a lot of other acapella groups I know of, but I never dug too deep to know better than batzorig vaanchig. then again I know a lot for russian punk scene aside from the obvious mention of kino my favorite song is Пaчкa cигapeт, Гpyппa кpoви being a close second

still it makes a great case study for the topic at hand, we think of the most popular names, when the better may lie deeper in the nest

>>385715335
Peak popularity in terms of players, sure, but in terms of mainstream attention and popularity? Not at all, CoD had far outsurpassed it by that point and all the dudebros and normies had mostly jumped ship

nice vid saint

where'd he go?

it was relative to its time, also relevant to normies perceptions, how many normies do you know that know about that game? that's kind of the point, but it needs to be updated no less.

>>385711003
sports/racing games are better than anything on that list
