This thread is for trying to get you to play any kind of game, be it obscure or overlooked, free or pay2play and old or new. Try to sell other anons on your game in a post as short as possible, add links and magnets wherever necessary, list essential patches and fixes (or just paste a link to that game's PCGamingWiki page), and post some gameplay webms which highlight the best parts of the game. Shill like your life depends on it.
Cho Ren Sha 68K CRS68K is a freeware doujin SHMUP originally made for the Sharp X68000 in 1995 and later ported to Windows in 2001. It's fairly forgiving to newcomers as you get a large amount of bomb pick-ups and a shield power-up which absorbs one hit, but not too easy that you can finish it in one try. The sprites and music for this game are arcade-quality, which is especially impressive considering the game is largely made by one guy and another doing the music. The gameplay is fairly simple, move, shoot, and bomb. Yet it's the stage design that makes it stand out, with every stage feeling unique and fun to play on every playthrough. Power-up carriers drop a rotating triangle of three power-ups (power-up, shield, bomb) of which you can only pick up one, but you can get all three at once if you position yourself in the middle of the triangle which is tricky but rewarding to pull off. This is also how you get the most score, as the score value for each power-up increases if you pick one up while maxed up in that area, up to 25600 (which is tripled if you grab all three at once). Every million points the next shield power-up will turn into a 1-up, so you probably want to not bomb, not get hit, and get as many power-ups as possible. CRS68K is a good beginners SHMUP for everyone, as it can run on your grandmothers' PC.
Brigador Brigador is an isometric mech shooter game which some describe as a 'Kool Aid-man simulator' because nearly every wall is destructible, and it's one way how you'll take a lot of enemies by surprise. You play as some mercenary piloting a mech, working for a shady organization looking to take control over a future socialist utopia where its Great Leader has just died. This involves destroying a lot of enemies and structures. The flow of the gameplay is very similar to games like Crusader: No Remorse, where it reaches a nice balance between feeling like an unstoppable badass and overcoming overwhelming odds. Note that this is an action game foremost, not a mech simulator. Don't go in expecting deep mech customization, because there isn't any, and it's not what this game is about. Your mechs can be outfitted with all kinds of weapons, and gadgets from smoke to EMP and cloaking. Mechs also come in the forms of bipeds which are good at stomping, tanks which have a bull rush ability, and hovercrafts which have a different control scheme and can fly over cover. There's a lot of things to take in consideration when playing Brigador, for example, each weapon has its own firing arc, and you need to adjust your aim depending on the kind of enemy you are facing (hover drones need to be aimed a little higher at while smaller enemies need to be aimed a little lower at). The tank controls take a bit of getting used to, as otherwise it wouldn't really feel like you're controlling a mech. Explosions, gunfire and other sound alert nearby enemies which you can use to lure them in your trap, though it can work adversely if you go in guns blazing and alert every fucker on the map. You deal more damage when shooting an enemy at his flanks, so bullrushing everything doesn't work that easily. There's those security bots too which raise the alarm if you don't kill them fast enough after they spot you.
The maps themselves are fairly varied even if the objectives are mostly the same (kill X amount of enemies, destroy X amount of structures). Some maps will have you facing small speedy fuckers who keep circlestrafing you, while others have massive treehouse tanks dealing out death to anything in front of them and require a different approach. The campaign mode is mostly an intro crash course getting you used to the game whereas the real meat of the game is its Freelance mode, which lets you choose your own mechs, weapons, pilots, and maps. Your pilot affects the difficulty/difficulty progression of each freelance mission. Usually harder pilots means more money, which in turn is used to buy more mechs, weapons and pilots. Mechs also have their own money multiplier, with trickier and harder-to-use mechs having higher multipliers than easy-to-use ones which can wreck everything, encouraging you to experiment rather than sticking to one playstyle all the time. Also, did I say the game just LOOKS good? It takes after pre-rendered CGI from 90's games but looks a dozen times better, and it's not just the lighting and artstyle. It really nails that cyberpunk atmosphere alongside having a cool synthwave soundtrack.

Under Night In-Birth Exe Late is a fighting game on steam. It's a good game. If you've played melty blood, Eltnum might feel familar to you. It's a simple enough anime fighter that I feel as though anyone can learn to love.

Excellent. Brigador is fantastic, and well worth 20 bucks.
Chase Hall
So it's not just a joke or 'trolling'. People here actually don't know what "shilling" means.
Anyway, I will watch this thread for any interesting new games I don't know about
Wyatt Brooks
Although it's relatively well known on Holla Forums, I know that peple generally don't know Dustforce. An excellent 2D platformer although I hear that spergs can break it to be a cakewalk. I can't though and have over 60 hours in the game.
A true gem which is known on Holla Forums but I hardly never see being discussed is One Way Heroics.
Both games are great in their own right and can be pirated or purchased quite easily.
If you've never played EYE: Divine Cybermancy you should. It's great.
Bentley Campbell
Duelyst F2P squad grid strategy game / CCG Holla Forums hates pixelated games, but this game needs to keep it's character models simple, because it has monthly expansions (3-5 new cards every month) and animating 2d drawnings or mocaping 3d models wouldn't allow this kind of regular additions.
Jack Bailey
Pixels are not a problem. PIxelshit "retro" made by hipster indies who have no fucking clue what they are doing is the problem. I like Duelyst but their art direction is fucking everywhere. High quality art everywhere contrasts heavily with the stupid amount of bloom and the pixel generals and minions.
Parker Brooks
Shilling as in having marketers "infiltrate" with blatant commercial threads? Yeah we know those. The thing is, Holla Forums nowadays calls every kind of praise to any game "shilling". To a point of exaustion. I used to argue when people called me shill for creating a thread about a game I like. Now I just ignore them. The therm has lost it's impact to me, and I believe to many other people.

Marathon Marathon is a trilogy of first-person shooters made by Bungie for the Mac before they made Halo. You play as a security officer on board of the Marathon colony ship, as a race of alien slavers starts boarding it, and shit spirals out of control involving crazy AIs, human simulacrum suicide bombers, deepest lore, time travel, delusions of grandeur, exploration of ancient civilizations, and lots and lots of xeno purging. Even amongst Doom clones Marathon was unique for its well written story, which is quite worth following. The gameplay itself is quite solid and focuses more on dodging projectiles rather than crowd control or crazy action hero antics. Playing bigger maps on Total Carnage (the highest difficulty) feels like playing a first-person SHMUP at times. The weapon arsenal is quite balanced as it was made with multiplayer in mind (which is now dead for the most part save for an occasional 1v1 match), and they all feel good to use even if they're not that outlandish as Unreal's or Douk's arsenal. The level design tends to fluctuate, Marathon 1 is pretty much the worst in this aspect with long meandering corridors and the occasional puzzle section, while Marathon 2 gives you more space to dodge stuff and feels better overall. There's a lot of bullshit in Marathon 1 which was fixed in Marathon 2, and quite frankly you should play Marathon 1 on Normal and TC for everything else. If you're not a storyfag, Marathon as a whole might not be something for you. If you find Marathon 1 to be unbearable, you can check out Marathon: Resurrection, which is a full remake of M1 for Unreal Tournament '99, with single-player campaign et al. Marathon Infinity is where shit gets real crazy, and the less said about it the better. Basically, if you liked EYE: Divine Cybermancy, you'll like Infinity too.
Marathon features shield recharge stations and save terminals rather than medkits and quicksaving, so keep that in mind. There's also a lot of things you should keep in mind when playing on TC, like how hitstun works so you can avoid being shot at close range by troopers, how to avoid certain projectiles in general, when to switch weapons etc. It's quite fun once you get to hang of things. For some reason Marathon 2 and Infinity don't have a soundtrack outside the menu theme whereas M1 has a nice atmospheric soundtrack, apparently because Bungie wanted to focus on atmospheric sound effects instead. It doesn't really pay off until Infinity, though.
The games and their sourcecode were later released as freeware, which was used to create the Aleph One sourceport for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The Aleph One sourceport is an old piece of shit, as it's framerate limit is capped to 30fps, mouse sensitivity requires a lot of fucking around to get right, and it's rather unwieldy compared to sourceports which have been around for a shorter amount of time. 60fps support is supposedly coming soon, but nobody knows when. Unfortunately Aleph One is the only option for playing Marathon on modern PCs (and Macs), so bear with it. You can find the games here for free: alephone.lhowon.org/
Marathon did have some good fan-made content like Marathon Rubicon, Marathon Phoenix, and some great netgame maps. WEBM related is of a Marathon mini-scenario called Kindred Spirits, you can find most fancontent on Simplici7y.
Nathan Butler
Earth's Dawn (Also called Earth Wars in Japan) It's a simple 2d brawler with some RPG elements (leveling up, different weapons and equipment to wear, etc). It's fairly short, tedious, but easy to play,, with missions taking place in 6-7 areas that require you to kill a certain amount of enemies, fetch quests with a super strong enemy at the end, and strong palette-swapped versions of all the bosses. The game is easy, even on hard mode. I've beaten the game myself, and there's a lot of Monster Hunter-tier item drops you need to craft the more useful weapons in the game. The soundtrack has a lot of techno and electronic, and the graphics of the game are Paper Mario-like.
Cooper Murphy
No. Anyways, here's the full picture as a reward for not immediately shitting up the thread, plus a bonus.

Chase Reed
Darn. Well at least there's titties. It's the silver lining to so many Japanese products.
The "buy it" part is usually inserted by the reader. That's my problem with calling every praise "shilling".
Adam Thompson
While we are on the subject of Card Games, Eternal is a great pick. Unlike every other CCG on the market it actually follows MtG's formula of larger decks with lands (Sigils) and with the attacker assigning minions to attack and the blocker determining how they are blocked. Even if you play single player it is very robust and generous, giving you a ton of cards and packs very quickly.
Kayden Thomas
Gigantic Army Do you like fucking shit up in a mech and going fast? Look no further. If you've ever played Cybernator/Assault Suit Valken, you know what to expect: hectic run 'n gun mech action with good fucking stage design to boot. It's made by Astro Port from SATAZIUS and Supercharged Robot VULKAISER, so you know it's good shit. There's no Gundam Wing pansy ass colorful bullshit, you control a grunt mech sent on the frontlines for lousy near-suicide missions as you make it out alive by skill and wits alone. You are equipped with a shield which can block bullets from any direction, dashing boots which are activated by double-tapping in any direction, a vernier which lets you temporarily hover in the air, and a piledriver which fucks everything up from up close, and three weapons of choice with three more sub-weapons to choose from.
You get to choose between an assault rifle, shotgun and grenade launcher. The GL and shotgun are stronger than the assault rifle, but the assault rifle lets you carry more subweapon charges. This is especially handy if you choose the beamcannon, as three beamcannon charges let you basically speedkill bosses into oblivion. The entire game revolves around going fast and not getting hit. Killing enemies aside from the bosses is not required and doesn't even earn you that many points, as they're more of an obstacle than anything. At the end of each stage the time it took for you to complete it is multiplied by the remaining percentage of health you have. On top of that there's time/health/power-up pickups everywhere, which give massive point bonuses if you're at full health/full power. The time limit for each level becomes a non-issue if you know what you are doing, as it serves more of a reminder that you should GO FAST. The damage you take persists between stages, as your mech is only partially repaired between stages.
With some mild practicing you should be able to clear Normal difficulty, and then move on to Hard difficulty, which features new and tougher enemy placements and the TRUE final boss. Are you a badass enough to reach him?
It costs 6 bucks and always goes on sale for three, though if you can find a magnet here: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:4dfba5a1bf5f2337924c1247ff84b99c3f673152&dn=Gigantic+Army.Incl.Bonus.Items.Cracked-3DM&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fzer0day.ch%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969

Consider another buzzword, based. No one sane will give you any shit over saying: look, this clicks for me because x/y/z. Let's have a talk about it. But if your approach is comparable to that of a fourteen year old teen girl blogging on Bieber, and scurvs trigger a muh devs deserve it spergout you only got yourself to blame.
Ethan Carter
I've never beaten that damned game. Dark souls doesn't have shit on that bad boy.
Eli Green
But that's my point. They DO call shill over that. Speaking of Duelyst, I had two threads about it here on Holla Forums. In both the point was to discuss deck composition. And on both there was a good amount of deraiking because of shilling accusations. It seems to me that "games Holla Forums doesn't regularly talk about" are more targeted. But that's mainly my personal experience.
Connor Perez
There's a reason for that, you know? They're either shit or faggots don't even know about them forgot.
And speaking of shit, I've seen good FO4 and Skyrim threads here. I've seen furbait games and hipster pixelshit get a free pass. And hell, you want to talk about various assfaggot generals that keep popping up?
You do you; don't make shitbait threads, don't do it for free and try to make this cesspool a little better then you found it.
Leo Hill
Don't you dare shill this shit; I played the shit out of this before it went to Stream and while enjoyed it the devs nerf fucking everything. At the time of quitting the Koreans were ahead in updates from us and they were leaving in droves.

alright, fam.
Elijah Lewis
You realize you are as free to speak about games as everyone else is free to tell you your taste is shit
Nicholas Rogers
I came here to post this. Game's damn good and really easy to get a collection going. The biggest reasons for that are the two vs AI modes there are. One is a free mode where you make a deck from your collection and beat on the AI while getting rewards, you can technically grind it as much as you like since you can't end up in the negative. The second is a draft mode similar to Heartstone arena where you pick one card from three 25 times to make you deck. The difference here is that you get to keep all the cards you pick, entering this one costs gold though but you can easily get the gold back plus packs/cards if you get a few wins and since it's AI it's pretty damn easy. It mostly serves as a way to teach you card value for the actual draft mode against players. In that mode you open full packs and pick 45 cards from those packs one at a time. It's very similar to the MtG draft. You get to also keep all the cards you pick there as well as all the rewards you win obviously, similar to the vs AI draft mode. For example if you pick a legendary during the pick it means you'll be walking out with that legendary no matter what.
I've been playing for about 30 hours and I've got 97-99% of all commons and uncommons and well as about 50% of rares and 20% of legendaries. I have 4 or 5 budget decks that are very good and I could have more but I don't like breaking down "useless" cards into crafting resources. The main reason why I like the game though is that there's a ton of variety that comes from the deck building since you can mix and match the different factions like in MtG. There are a ton of decks and tons of variations of those decks. There are also a lot of cards with pretty unique effects and shit that make for some cool shit you can do.
Landon Harris
This is literally not fucking true. The actual OP has nothing to do with whether you'll get called a shill. If the game is free or if the OP has a link to a magnet or a direct download you're still going to get called a shill. It doesn't even matter if you stick with the thread or not, you'll get called a shill if you one and done and you'll get called a shill for replying to posts in your own thread.
Elijah Campbell
Well, if you haven't missed this part refer to
Jack Jackson
No, not really. That's actually a form of censorship coined back in 50s, called "pre-censorship." It’s involved censorship at the source, the suppression of certain topics. It’s the kind where you step on the neck of the person so they have no choice but to stop talking about the thing they are talking about. Stuff like "I’m not going to keep you from talking, I’m just going to make it very hard for you to keep doing so."
Levi Campbell
When I mention a hivemind or "unpopular opinions" I'm quite clearly and obviously refering to teh fact that some games are liked/disliked by a great portion of Holla Forums's populace. There's nothing wrong with that, some things are just more popular than others on any given comunity. But denying that, saying that there's no such a thing as mainline or a streamlined taste on Holla Forums (when denouncing accusations of a hivemind), and immediately saying that some games are colectively considered "shit" is downright hipocritical.
Ethan Phillips
I once made a thread on Jupiter Hell, the 3D roguelike, and its kikestarter campaign. Safe to say, I got accused of being a marketer and the thread steadily fell to the last page without much interest. I thought people would here be interested on a modern take on the classic roguelike formula, since I remembered that some had complained about the flood of "roguelites" that copied more from Isaac than Nethack. I guess I should have just filled the OP with buzzwords, memes and shitty bait, since that's what most Holla Forumsirgins respond to.
Either way, I'd like to take this opportunity and tell all of you faggots to play DoomRL, the creator's previous work that Jupiter Hell borrows a lot from. It's released under GPL2, so you can just grab it from the repo and run it on whatever OS you use.
There's nothing wrong with embedding YT videos per se, just the ones the ones posted by rags like Kotaku or Polygon.
David Barnes
Nigger, what I'm saying is word for word: stop hiding behind rationalization why someone else is calling you shit but rather stop posting shit. Or conditionally if you're actually not shit a rare occurrence for a OP - stop replying to shitbait and keep it vidya.
And no, not the spergtastic muh waifu furnificent futa trap eceleb memespewing "vidya" either.
You for real? I can call you a cancerous piece of shit and say fuck back to /insertboogeyman/ but where's the force? Where's the boot?
Do you suggest "tonepolicing" and being careful not to hurt the fee-fees of idiots posting shit like undertail? Maybe we could get a respectfully disagree button?
You want a better board? Start with not being too much of a faggot.Speaking off, I've been at this metashit for too long
Josiah Perez
The only good answer. That's why "shill" will go down the drain as a buzzword >Stop posting games I find shit NEVER. I post whatever I want same, I'm withdrawing from this. Already messed the thread for long enough. Didn't mean to be the shitposter myself…
Jaxson Martinez
Except really there is nothing stopping you. At all. These are words - what is someone going to do, call you names? You can even fucking hide posts that you do not agree with. Congratulations now you can talk about whatever you want. In fact we have fucking Overwatch and Paladins threads when the rest of Holla Forums has an open distaste to them. You can fucking literally make any thread you want as long as it is vidya related.
Also, if dissident is so scary you can't even argue with someone else you are basically talking about the rest of the fucking internet. Go to RPGCodex and they will tell you your opinions are shit. Go to Plebbit and you will get downvoted. Go to Gamefaqs or the fucking Bioware forums or cuckchan and if they don't like your opinion they will tell you to fuck off.
Jackson Green
The new expansion a total shit. There's literally no extra contents at all. At this point it's irredeemable. I can't even shill for this game, no more. Why were they doing with all these skillful TDU devs? What Ubisoft did to them? Locked them up and beating constantly to make this fucking abysmal shit? Wake me up before you gogo.jpg
Caleb Russell
Kung Fu Strike. Chinese 3D beat'em up that often goes on sale for 1$ to 2.5$. You'd expect some buggy shovelware shit, but it's actually extremely fun and challenging, and I'd actually say it's one of my favorite games of all time. On the one hand you can kick dozens of enemies through the level and get bosses into 100+ hit combos until they're dizzy, on the other hand you're going to get pummeled by homing shockwaves while surrounded by a mob of polearm wielding mooks if you don't git gud. Just be prepared for the poison levels. Also has local coop.
Aaron Rivera
The fuck is this pre-censorship bullshit? What you're describing is just people not liking what you have to say. And if you think there's any shit like that going on here you're retarded. Yeah, someone is always going to call you a shill. Just like someone is always going to call your favorite game shit, or call all Japanese games nipshit, or will shit on anything that isn't FOSS. It's almost like there are people with clashing opinions on this board. Fucking crazy, right?
Carson Rodriguez
Let it Die Sort of Souls-ish action RPG made by Grasshopper. Probably the best example of Free 2 Play games because you can sink time into it without spending a cent. Has the usual Grasshopper trademarks like fun characters, punk OST, and charm. More fun than it should be.
Manhunt Forgotten stealth game from Rockstar with an absolutely brutal premise, with the protagonist on death row and being forced to participate in a series of snuff films to be set free. Its challenging, has absolutely brutal finishing moves, and is solely gameplay focused with only tiny amounts of story. Needs a tiny fanpatch to run on Windows 7 though.
Samuel Jenkins

Dude, I've had people accuse me before of being a shill over saying good things about Spyro 1-3 and recommending them, despite the games being well over a decade and a half old and Insomiac seeing no money on them at this point most likely. Really, part of what makes me feel there's a difference between a shill for your time (guy doesn't care how you play a game, whether you buy it or not) and a shill for your wallet (who very much DOES want you to be paying for a game, whether the game quality warrants supporting the developers or not).
Or they're old games Holla Forums's liked from now dead series (or standalone too) that there's sadly not much demand left to make threads for. A lot of what I tend to play and like falls under that category, and it's sadly one of the downsides to mostly sticking to working at a backlog going back generations: plenty of worthwhile stuff to play, but not much warrant to making threads to discuss it at this point. And on the off chance that one of those such threads does take off (like that recent .hack thread), it's probably due to lack of discussion for a while building up enough reason for others to jump at the chance.
I'm actually surprised someone made a Shadow Hearts thread early this morning and it's gotten as far as it has. Not that I'm complaining at all.
Parker Sullivan
speaking of which
The Talos Principle A first-person puzzle game made by Croteam from the Serious Sam game of all people, with some pretty good puzzles and even a great story. You play as some robot in a virtual simulation, where you are tasked by the voice of God to do puzzles and collect sigils in pretty looking Roman/Greek ruins for some reason. The order of puzzles you have to do is non-linear, meaning if you get stuck on one for some time, you can just move on to another and come back later, which really helps. The puzzles can get quite creative later on, and there's even secret stars you can find by using your given tools in unexpected ways, which will eventually unlock a secret world with more harder levels. You only have to collect a certain percentage starts to open it, so you don't have to go full collectathon. In the meantime you can access a computer which lets you talk to an AI called Milton, who starts asking you philosophical questions out of boredom, and your answers will decide whether he considers you someone worthy debating with or just a simpleminded idiot who is the only one he can talk to. Nonetheless, I did find the game overall to be thought-provoking (though some more experienced with philosophy might say it's entry-level, which might very well be true) and interesting to follow.
There's also the Road to Gehenna DLC, which might even be better than the base game. You are tasked by God to liberate others from purgatory through solving puzzles who have nothing else to do other than shitpost in what is essentially Reddit, whose discussions are quite amusing from an outside standpoint. Features even harderer and betterer puzzles, so get ready.
Do you want your RPGs to have great combat, stealth, character customization, and enemy AI? Look somewhere else, because Alpha Protocol has none of that.
Yet while Alpha Protocol is half really shit, it's half really good too. The amount of choice & consequences in this game would atomize the corporeal form of Mass Effect. It'd lobotomize the entire RPG genre. It has hardcore consensual sex with VtMB every day. The amount of reactivity and replay value this game has is insane. From your approach to missions, to your behavior in dialogue, to an offhand joke, to the mere order of missions you take, someone will comment on or remember it. The dialogue and characters are incredibly entertaining (written by none other than Chris Avellone), with settings made for spy thrillers. It has bugs out of the wazoo and its gameplay fairly casual, yet the actual roleplaying is fucking slick. There is no bullshit morality involved, just consequences and opportunities. You get to choose between three dialogue stances when given the choice, all of which can influence the reputation of the person you're talking to. However, it's not necessary to keep everyone happy, having them really hate you works just as well. You get perks for having characters both really hate or love you, so it'll all work out no matter how you do, as long as you stick to pistols/stealth/melee, because most other weapon categories suck in comparison. Also the main character isn't just a blank slate, just look at embed related (minor spoilers in the video) to see what being an asshole is like in Alpha Protocol.
Alpha Protocol is one of those games which while incredibly flawed, are still worth a try.
Note, the torrent is in Russian, to change the language to English, do the following:

I've been playing this for a week or so and a lot of the design really bothers me. It's quite generous on what you can get from playing from free but limited looks really "aura" oriented and that pisses me off because it leads to very frustrating games. It always looks like the slowest deck is the one that wins.
James Nelson
I love the way this game plays even though when I bought into the kikestarter back when I was a gullible faggot I expected something more like Fire Emblem, but the visuals are unbearable. How the simple idea of taking the virtual tcg model and changing it up this drastically has occurred to literally nobody else is as much a mystery as any bermuda triangle shenanigans
Justin Powell
No, user, it's a BROWSER game that wants to convince itself that it's a mobile game. Last I heard the attempt at mobile was failing, hard - yet, somehow, it's still outpacing actual mobile games in userbase while still being tied to a computer.

Wanted - Weapons Of Fate Pretty much the best cover based shooter I ever played It's a sequel to the movie and IMO it's written better then the movie. It's not very long, there is a speed run mode where the top developer time is 1 hour 15 min. As for game play i'll let the webm do the talking.

I can't really add any more to this. I enjoyed It so much that it had gottern me interested in the movie. movie Wanted.2008.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC-RARBG 8bf627e131d3cce51cc810e01dfbc301fa41fdd3 Game [R.G. Mechanics] Wanted - Weapons of Fate ff89a11755a2926b59b48ef7952914758ec9303e This is what I used when I played it. It is a shame that the unlockable custumes didn't really do anything and that in the cut scenes the regular outfit is used. The graphics settings can't be changed in the menu past a limit like most games of that era however like most of them it is one simple line edit with a text editor away.

i came here for tenryuu, but if i was to shill for something it would be Rainbow Six Siege which is like some incredible fluke by ubisoft, they accidentally made a good game

Is it version 1.1? If not will the patch work with it? As games like "The Hell In Vietnam" don't recognise as being installed no matter what I do, however I belive it is already pre patched but it still CTD after the second mission finishes.
Christopher Gray
I don't think it's 1.1, so you'll probably have to install the patch for it
Nicholas Moore
Not much I have to shill on it, but if you are into fighting games competitively or even just casually but still understanding fundamentals, don't dissmiss Pokken just because >Nintendo
It's actually got stuff to it and has a surprisingly amazing soundtrack as well. If you own a WiiU, check it out. Just be aware that local play requires two consoles so don't bother if you aren't gonna play online
Bentley King
what do you mean by "limited"? do you mean the ranked game mode? I don't really think the slowest deck always wins. New players tendo to overvalue stuff like Warcries a lot more than they should if that's the kind of stuff you mean. Unless you get like 2-5 procs per turn it doesn't matter all that much since decks generally run so much removal. If you mean the relics that buff your board like Infinite Hourglass then I don't know, I barely see those cards. There are cards that get rid of relics and a lot of them don't do anything unless you also let your opponent get ahead on board which is a much bigger problem than the relic. The most complaints about decks I've seen have been people whining that there's too much stuff like Haunting Scream decks, Stonescar burn and Rakano aggro. All of those are fast decks that peak around 4 power.
In a game with this sort of combat system the defender has the advantage so playing aggro is not as mindless as something like Hearthstone. You'll need to bluff with combat tricks and trade smartly when it's possible.

I think that's a perfectly valid reason to dismiss anything. If I had cancer I'd still rather die from it than get a cure that's made by Nintendo.

By limited I mean draft, non constructed formats where you have a limited pool of cards to build a deck, it's MTG lingo I think. I don't know how to explain what my issue here is, the player that wins very usually could have won as well 6 turns later, games that end in a race don't seem to be too common even if half of the blue cards are supposed to be about that.
I've met one today for the first time and it looks pretty annoying, I'm sure there are times when they lose to their own deck because they draw the wrong part, but it's a lot of card advantage. I don't know enough about constructed to form an opinion tho.
I've never played that, I've played some loliverse and I've heard it's similar but I don't really know. The thing with loliverse even if there isn't interaction on your opponent's turn, games at least feel pretty back and forth with one player being ahead one turn and the other the next.
The game itself is pretty simple but feels like it rewards smarter plays a lot more than RNG-fests like Hearthstone. You summon summons (that wording isn't going to get confusing, right?) into a lane and they automatically move towards the dofus in the enemy's zone. Two are fake, three are real. To win you have to capture two of your opponent's real ones. Capturing a fake gives you an additional row that you can summon into, so it's still an advantage.
There are also pickups at the summon zones in each lane: 1x draw a card, 2x deal 1 damage to a dofus, 2x add 1 action point to your reserve (reserve AP can be spent to add to your pool for the current turn). Summoning something (or walking into them) picks them up. Once all are picked up they respawn, however they'll only respawn on empty tiles so you can be tactical about picking up the last one and make your opponent lose out on ones that are blocked with his summons.
One thing that's iffy are infinite cards, which unlock other more potent versions of that card after reaching a certain amount of XP with them. They tend to start out pretty weak, making it a chore to try and get the better versions after you get one from a pack.

it's a better idea to wait for the Switch version because of the extra content and potential multiplayer on the go.

there's nothing more pathetic than slapping a fake hexname on an image in a desperate attempt to look like an oldfag.
Genuinely pretty fun, basically lots of puzzle games that the engine throws at you at random.

Best part: bob has started doing livestrams Terry Davis style and it looks like he's finally got his shit together.
Parker Davis
What… How. I almost fell like I have to play it. It's been years, YEARS since I've seen anyone even mention that autism extravaganza, and now you mean to tell me they not only does the game actually exist but Bob himself has become sane somehow?
I'm being trolled, aren't I?

Freedom Force is a top-down team tactics game in which you control a 4-man team of highly charismatic silver age-style superheroes in missions pitting you against traitorous communists, despicable gangsters, dinosaurs, evil aliens, greek gods, and a cosmic-tier villain who makes Galactus look like a total bitch! Come for the hammy dialogue and fun heroes! Stay for the deep tactics and properly implemented RPG character building mechanics! Ogle the lovely heroines! Fight super-nazis in the sequel! Thrill to the shocking cliffhanger! Lament the third game's never ever status! Curse Ken Levine for losing his talent and focusing on Bioshock!
FOR FREEDOM!
and if you have windows 7 or higher, get the GoG version of 1. Otherwise you're very likely to have serious control issues
I wish I could invoke a proper comic book font (not comic-sans, there are actually good ones out there); it would really sell the whole post it's a bitch finding good pics of the heroines online. Especially Green Genie's
Nolan Myers
It's a fun game, too.

It's just the puzzle game, what was supposed to be the endgame sequence of the RPG, it's surprisingly polished and fun for what it is, he has the vision of turning this into a platform for competitive puzzle-leages as a way of drumming up support for the RPG. Turns out the RPG wasn't much more than a fully complete engine and some debug cutscenes + minigames that he was going to sell to nintendo but they didn't want to buy a fucking engine from a guy with obvious schizophrenia, when this failed he sperged and tried making a flashcart and then handheld when he realized chinks gonna chink, all of this failed when he acted like a skitzofuck on the forums and deleted everything he didn't like(I actually know the CGW-Zero guys and they said Dingoo was kind of excited about bob's game before he went bonkers pulled the plug) he released it all on github a while back before settling down and focusing on the puzzle game, code was genuinely quite sound on both fronts(RPG and this) and I was able to get the puzzle running in a form that didn't draw colors before he officially released it all and pulled the github shit.
I'd link one of the streams to prove normalcy, but it seems he's deleted/unlisted them. Normally he just streams himself sitting there programming but when people come in he talks to them, seems like an overall calm, composed, and friendly but very focused guy. I think he is overall done with it but this is the only thing he's accomplished with his life so he goes on out of a false sense of necessity, he's mentioned last time I spoke with him that he really doesn't want attention and generally thinks people that play vidyas are wasting time they could be using to run or meditate or go hiking or whatever the fuck he's on about now, although he did play The Witness and thinks it's hot garbage.

That sounds like a man who has approached sanity from the other side of the far edge of madness. Game looks cool too.

Whats with fucking journos and devs not shilling their fucking games when they're released?
Colton Evans
Played this as a kid. Can confirm it's great.

TxK Do you have a Vita? Buy this fucking game. It's basically Tempest 2000 but better, and by the same guy. Put down the Atari Jaguar and get with the times. Also it's not available on other platforms because of Atari. Apparently it's too much like Tempest 2000. I know Vita piracy is a thing now but Llamasoft is a 1 guy company and the guy behind it has been working as a dev since the fucking Amiga 500. Pirate it if you want but don't feel bad about giving him money if you want.
Alexander Wilson
Separate post because you can only have embed or pics #BlockLivesMatter AFAIK this game was put on hold indefinitely. It's a parody of everyone's favourite rights mob, and it's actually kinda fun. Just watch the trailer, or at least that's what I would say but they've removed it from Youtube.
Behold, true believer! Concept art for a character from the third game! Never to be given life on screen!
Jose Williams
Hex is pretty good too. It also does the MtG thing, plus it has some pretty fun PvE content where you can get away with some really crazy shit no sane developer would ever allow in a competitive format. It also has what is, in my opinion, the best kind of F2P system (outside of everything being completely free, obviously); there's the typical "currency you earn by playing vs. currency you can exchange money for" thing, but you can freely exchange the two currencies with other players, or sell unwanted cards for them on the auction house. The biggest problem is that the constructed metagame is a little stale, right now it's pretty much all either mono red aggro or mono green just-fucking-crush-your-opponent-with-obscenely-strong-creatures. There's also no way to dispose of extra cards if nobody wants to buy them, but I think breaking them down and crafting new cards from them is planned for a future update.

Azurea Juncture is a short VN made by an user from /a/.
It's a damn fun roguelike (real roguelike, not a modern hipster trash roguelike) where you go spelunking from dungeon to dungeon killing everything and taking their stuff. Maybe if you do it long enough, you'll stumble on the main plotline.
It's greatest strength is likely the sheer number of classes it has (around 27 or so); these aren't shitty flavor swaps where most classes are carbon copies of the others, most every class in this game plays very differently from the others, and much of the fun is in figuring out how you will spend your points when leveling. Alchemists play differently from Archmages which play differently from Paradox Mages, Bulwarks play differently from Paladins which play differently from Mindslayers. And they all are quite effective once you figure out how to play them. Between the class selection, the random events that can trigger on any given game, and the variability of the loot you can find, the sheer replayability of this game is where it really shines.
Of course, being a roguelike, there's a huge learning curve to figuring out how things work, and your character is much more likely to die horribly than actually complete the game, but the game is usually fair about it. Except for Rare enemies. Always take them seriously in case they have a skill combination that can rape your level 50 badass to death If you actually manage to beat the game without dying, then you can be sure that you earned it.
To top it all off, the creator has kept a free download for the latest game versions on his website since forever.

You can also buy it on Steam for money, but the paid version only has about 3 minor things that the free version doesn't (iirc, they are Easy mode, Stone Warden class, and a vault that lets you store and retrieve items between files) so there's pretty much no reason to spend money on it if you don't want to. Though you will need the paid version if you want either of the dlcs. Even then they're pretty cheap, and Embers of Rage is pretty much a miniature sequel to the main game.
Evan Nelson
Steamworld Heist 2D Turn Based Tactics game where you play a maximum of four old timey space robot pirates who go around taking loot and eventually fighting empires and ayyliums. What is special about it is the gameplay, instead of combat revolving around hit chances and RNG you're the one doing manual aiming and the aiming is very dependent on you mastering how to ricochet your shots or arc your explosions well. It's very fun and by the second act it gets really challenging so I wholeheartedly recommend it. Here's a link from IGG because I believe it's the most recent update. docs.google.com/uc?id=0B5DvT1Tw2T0ud2o4WnRXeHFaSkE
Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this game?
Bentley Walker
I was looking for this!! thanks!
Nolan Evans
you gotta be kidding me, you can't directly buy boosters with in game currency, only with cryptozoic funnymunny, this is a huge deal, yes, you can sell the cards you get from pve in the AH and then buy boosters with that, and then participate in a draft (instead of opening them which I think is something very unintuitive). yes, gameplay wise I'd say it's the best computer tcg, and I'd go as far as saying it's better than MtG, but this f2p system is as fucking jewish while still technically being f2p. I could play infinity wars, use the in game currency to buy boosters and actually open them.

You happen to have an archive for that, user?
