/vr/ - Video Games/Random

It's pretty cool I guess. I just wish they didn't fuck too much with the difficulty of the gym leaders and stuff. It'd have been neat if they gave more of an incentive to trade or do battles with random players you come across. It's neat to have other people running around, but eh, most of them don't interact with others.

Oh hey! I just started playing this! Any anons wanna play w me? :)

itch.io has a bunch of in browser stuff, you just have to go looking for it, there might be a section for it as well.

Hypnospace outlaw does have a very interesting style to it. It manages to remain unique while also being reminiscent of that time, which I quite enjoy. Unfortunately, there's not much interaction beyond people reacting to actions you take in the game, but I feel like that really adds to the charm.
>Bitburner
I've looked at this for a bit, but I'm not really sure what it's about. Is it just like a programming game or is there more to it?

>>139
Bitburner is actually not completely programming from what I've seen, it's a mainly text-based game that takes place in a black and green terminal where you play a hacker in a cyberpunk dystopia. There are RPG elements to it, you can buy augments for your character, progress skill trees, etc.

A friend of mine, a computer science guy, is the one getting me into it. But I haven't played the game yet so I'm unsure of how exactly it works kek. One thing I've yet to see is the goal of the game, you can acquire money, converse with NPCs, and a few other things, but I have no idea what It's all going towards.

>alright update after playing about an hour of it,
Bitburner is pretty much just a competent and entertaining clicker game where you try to acquire as much currency as possible and build a hacking empire.

it is fun though, it'll at least be an entertaining climb to the top level.

>>140
>>141
Oh it's a clicker? Dang, i was kinda hoping it would actually be a text adventure lul. Ah well, I'll still check it out after I get some time away from work

>>142
Played a little bit more of it, and it's surprisingly fun. Coding makes for a good puzzle mechanic. Even if the puzzle has about 15 different answers.

I use Dolphin. For SSBB

I use retroarch cause it's simple.

don't use retroarch all posts above are LIARS

>>109
the ui kinda sucks but it works ig

>>95
I only use RetroArch for RetroAchievements, and only because I couldn't use my gamepad on RetroAchievements' own emulator and the video settings in it aren't as good as RetroArch's.

For non-"retro" consoles (such as PSP, pic related) I just use separate emulators for each of them. That has always been my preference.

>>131
Depending on what you're emulating, it can be either really simple or a bit of a pain in the ass. Your best bet would be to look at the emulator websites or emulator wikis. They'll usually give you an idea of what they have working so far or what the best settings for specific games are.

Since AC is a first party title, odds are it'll work well enough though.

There's an empty Animal Crossing imageboard at canberrachan.org.

You'll come to hate it once you realise how tedious and grindy it gets, as well as the lack of periodic expansions that keep corpses like WoW shambling along.
Sadly, it is not the early 2000s anymore and the social aspects of most MMORPGs is dead in the dust, you'd be lucky to find a lively guild that's regularly active. Nonetheless, the world and storyline are vast enough to take a solid while to fully appreciate every facet they have to offer.
Enjoy your journey and nevermind the destination, and for the sake of all that is holy try not to rely on online resources.

What (private) server are you playing on?

That's precisely why I hate MMOs. They're too grindy for my tastes, but for some reason I enjoy it here. I genuinely couldn't tell you why. Maybe it's the environments? Enemy variety? Music? Who knows, I certainly can't pinpoint it.

>Sadly, it is not the early 2000s anymore and the social aspects of most MMORPGs is dead in the dust

I never got to experience that firsthand, even when I played Runescape back in 2006 I never really interacted with other players except to trade. A couple of my IRL friends have expressed interest in playing with me though, so I'll have to see how that pans out.

>and for the sake of all that is holy try not to rely on online resources.

Why's that? I haven't really used anything online since NovaRO offers commands like @whodrops [item] and @whereis [monster].

>What (private) server are you playing on?
I inadvertantly answered this, but I'm playing on NovaRO for now. I was going to do Shining Moon since it's pre-renewal, but it's very group-oriented and I'm too shy to ask other players in game to do stuff with me.

>>125
I hate myself for turning this into a rant, please do forgive.

Playing with friends sounds splendid; the more, the merrier. It used to be the case that one could make a few solid friends over the years by playing random MMOs but now folk are less willing to go try something out on their own unless their pals are already there, or they can coerce them to join in.
My comment regarding online resources was in an effort to emulate the good old '00s lack of comprehensive encyclopaedias, to get you to ask and explore, but it would seem that you're not too fond of the latter and the former has been resolved with servers implementing in-game itemid and monsterid search features.

As for the grind, it gets progressively worse until you reach the final stages of the game and begin collecting specialised resources/equipment for PvP, WoE, etc.. Don't get me wrong, behind all of that grind lies a terrific game with great mechanics and it tries its best to sprinkle novelty and charm all over to stop you from noticing the grindy aspects.

Now excuse me while I go get buzzed on some crack cocaine so I don't relapse on my RO addiction.

Nah you're fine, I enjoy reading and responding to long posts.

Yknow you actually raise a really good point there. I had a really tough time soloing a level 80 instance even though I was base level 102.
I'm planning to do Old Glast Heim eventually and at the moment there's no fucking way I'll be able to even get halfway through unless I reach the max base level and overstock on consumables.
Maybe I'll toughen up and ask folks around the game for help rather than relying on other people I already know. NovaRO has a surprisingly nice community, no doubt some friends could be made there.

>As for the grind, it gets progressively worse until you reach the final stages of the game and begin collecting specialised resources/equipment for PvP, WoE, etc.
Yeah I'm sorta noticing that right now. As great as Gunslinger/Rebellion is for newbies like me, the equipment is quite expensive for someone who hasn't fully figured out how to work the merchant class, and the hat quests take so many drops to complete.

>My comment regarding online resources was in an effort to emulate the good old '00s lack of comprehensive encyclopaedias
Exploring and figuring stuff out by oneself is pretty cool actually. I played Morrowind without a wiki or build guide, all I knew was the intelligence potion exploit and how to use the journal. Playing an RPG without looking everything up feels pretty nice, I'm not sure I can explain why I feel that way.

Varrock can be entered through the north gate from the Wilderness, through the east gate, through the south gate from Lumbridge, and through the west gate from Barbarian Village. Each entrance has level 21 guards surrounding it.

Thanks for the advice!

This doesn't seem right. Are you sure that's how you get there?

>VR
don't have a headset yet but I was thinking about it. What do you guys recommend? Like a couple hundred dollars max.

Despite not having a headset I do still play VRChat a lot.

>>117
I had pic related once. It was pretty fun. You put your smartphone in there and play games on the oculus store. I only reccomend it if you want to test how it is to play in VR, beacuse your battery gets really hot and low after some time.
