/v/idya: After Dark, Weekend Blues

I've never seen this before and I usually go pretty late, but hey, seems more quality than the average /v/ thread so I'll bite

cheat codes are one of the things I miss the most in modern games

This seems comfy. inb4 some fag calls it cringe

>>387567550
Thanks anon, every post counts.
These threads are a work in progress but as a weekly execution it's managable.

>>387567675
It's a tragedy. I was watching my sister play Horizon Zero Dawn and she was starting over from the very beginning. A cheat code here and there can help reduce the feel of grinding- if I've already beaten a game having to regrind the same things is just a hassle and sometimes I just want to check things out. Sadly, they've fallen out of favor in the times and I honestly can't recall the last game that had them.

This is an uncharacteristically chill thread for /v/, I bought crypt of the necrodancer for ps4 a few days ago, it's really fun, most characters soundtrack is exactly the same, but with a stylish change in genre, like the Bard having groovy synthwave or Eli being more 80's Rock.

What's the point of this post? One more game-related thread doesn't hurt the board when at least half of all threads at any given time are explicitly off-topic. I don't understand where your butthurt is coming from.

Stop posting to the obvious troll. It says a lot about him that his main purpose at this time of night is to shitpost in a thread that is trying it's hardest to be free if typical /v/ trash. But I guess this is just more proof that /v/ just doesn't exist anymore.

OP: I miss fun/silly codes like banjo Kazooie or Tony Hawks pro skater. Ones that didn't really alter the game in any ways, but were also cute/neat little quirks. I think when you have cheat codes to just go god node or whatever, as soon as you know that code, it just sits in the back of your mind the entire time.

>>387572238
>>387572358
Uh, yeah. This isn't a news article or something, and 90% of the time someone links to Youtube here, it's blatant shilling. /v/ has its own playlist, there's no reason to post shit like this.

>>387567226
>Do you miss video game codes? I know I do. Sure it might get in the way of a trophy or two but hey, something I just wanna go all out on enemies and such.

Cheat codes are great. Unfortunately, when they were commonplace, a lot of "hardcore gamers" (or, at least, the most vocal minority of them on the internet) hated cheat codes. "Cheat codes ruin games" was a fairly popular opinion. I'm afraid that game developers actually listened to them.

Most of /v/ seems to think cheat codes went away because achievements/trophies were added to games, but this explanation really makes no sense at all, considering it's entirely possible (and easy) simply to disable achievements whenever cheats are used. This has been done in a number of games which have both cheat codes and achievements.

You don't see cheat codes anymore because their implementation is extra work which many gamers didn't appreciate.

>>387573296
>/v/ has its own playlist

You mean some attention whore made a playlist and claimed it's an official /v/ thing? Neat.

You realize those things are never good, right? The "/v/'s Recommended Games" wiki is currently maintained by Redditors who don't post on /v/ or don't even know what /v/ is.

Honestly i feel that some people play on easy mode or cheat with code or guidebooks then come on 4chan and get into arguments with people who played the game str8 up and dont account for the fact that they literally cheated when giving you their opinion. It happens all the time one example is when i got into some argument over DS1 back before 2 was even announced. Like 10 posts in on this guy shitting on the game then it turns out he used the drake sword then after that it turns out he followed a guide and knew everything about the game before playing it. These kinds of people FILL threads because they dont play games they just argue about them on 4chan. Its like talking about PoE but the other guy is playing noobcore but wont admit that.

I mean im not rupturing a blood vain over it but its annoying, also its much more rewarding to play it out and do it right then take the easy way out even if you have to force it on people they will be better off in the long run.

>>387575281
>it's much more rewarding to play it out and do it right
I'm with you on that one
>even if you have to force it on people they will be better off in the long run
Not so much this. Especially if it's single player, I don't give a shit. The whole purpose of a video game is to enjoy yourself and have fun, and if people don't enjoy an actual challenge then it's whatever. I don't get it, but I'm not gonna act like "forcing" a more difficult experience is going to be better for them than letting them have an easier experience.

>>387575465
Well whats your opinion on "story mode" difficulty options then? If you are agreeing with people being able to breeze through these games if thats what they want then do you think a game like darksouls should have a "story mode" difficulty setting?

Rocket League

>>387570567
Playing Ghost Trick, it's fantastic so far. It's one of the few games that have made me burst out laughing

>>387575779
Yeah, sure, I honestly don't care. I think achievements should be disabled for such a difficulty though, or handled like games such as ToME where there's a different achievement set for each difficulty.

>>387573778
I remember seeing someone trying to reclaim the wiki by holding polls on /v/, but I think they gave up cause the threads always died

>>387576142

Not sure if I'd call it nice, but it's reasonably well furnished and comfortable. Best advice I can give is to bundle your wires and use furnishings to cover where they need to go where you can. If you're looking for furniture, there's no shame in picking up pieces from thrift stores; my cube shelf in the picture was only 30 bucks and it's a rock solid figure stand/media cabinet.

>>387576284
Because, as you said, people who play on higher difficulties tend to like the challenge and tend to also like to have something to show for it, and understandably feel like they should have something to show for it that is also something that players facing a lesser challenge don't have. Meanwhile, people who play on easy or "story mode" settings don't give a shit about achievements, otherwise they'd likely be playing on higher difficulties. It's a win-win. People who like a challenge have something to show over those who couldn't/wouldn't complete it at the same difficulty, while the people playing on easy get to also enjoy the game.

This seems like a comfy thread.

I actually read OP's post in my head like an actual radio broadcast.

Though I'd imagine an actual /v/ radio station would be some guy stuttering into the mic while eating hotpockets.

Never too late to start fixing it up, and from my experience, there's never such a thing as a pristine home. It's a never-ending battle to keep my place up, especially when the depression hits and doing anything more than staring at a start screen for a game is just too much of an energy expenditure. Sometimes you just have to make peace with the idea that until you get motivated, your recliner is just 'the laundry chair'.

>>387577387
Thanks. This is probably about how I'll keep it for quite some time, especially after dropping my projector for the TV. I do kind of miss my 5.1, but the wires were all over the damn place and my receiver started cutting up.

Before you kids saw those posts exposing certain companies for making fake threads to advertise and started pitching your fits, it was generally acceptable to post a link to another site.

There was a really nice Outrun thread the other day and it made me remember some cheatcode in either Outrun 2 or 2006. You put in MILESANDMILES as your name on the license and it maxed out your miles points so you could buy everything immediately.

This was a nice little thread. Reminds me of days passed.

So here is a controversial opinion, i want another game like world of warcraft to come out and dominate the market for years. I miss being part of a huge community every game i play nowadays is super niche and empty and all the big games like league and Cod are boring as fuck.

Warcraft 4 would be pretty sweet, as bad as sc2 got the first two good years were really good. Watching streams, staying up for korea time, drawing fanart, PLAYING the game, even the MASSIVE threads that would be stickyed on /v/ during usa tourneys... aaaah nostalgia.
