A ship simulation game developed by Microcabin and published by Koei in 2003 for the PlayStation 2 It got a sequel in 2006 with the name of Naval Ops: Warship Gunner 2
Not really All you need is PCSX2 and the BIOS files but as any emulated game, it might behave strange at times with slowdowns or random graphic glitches here and there
Trying new games comes with the risk that sometimes it's not going to be very good
Downloaded and finished the "tutorial". What the hell was that intro movie though ? Is there supernatural shit in the game ?
Tyler James
No and for the intro: thats basically the whole extend of the "story" You are just a shipcaptain and during a navy exercise you get swallowed up into a time vortex to a parallel dimension where an evil empire is taking over the world and you join the resistance to fight them Dont pay to much attention to the story though, it doesnt matter in the first game anyway
Andrew King
So you can place the guns and ship part individually on the ship, that's real neato. I slapped the most powerful shit I had on my ship regardless of speed, we'll see if I'm a genius or a retard. The game feels more like Armored Core with ships than a simulation though, not that I'm complaining
Gavin Phillips
Imo not always the best choice since the enemy becomes quite accurate later on with its missle launchers and torpedos makes for a fun experience though when you broadside a heavy cruiser and sink it with one volley
Jose Collins
Why?PCSX2 emulation is pretty much shit.
Jaxon Taylor
Well, it's not Rule the Waves when it comes to ship design limitations.
What the fuck is this gay ass shit? Board games don't translate well into videogames.
Jackson Kelly
I haven't come across any problems so far except for the fact that the intro movie is stretched outside of the screen. Surprisingly alright emulation (it's not very complex graphically so less opportunities for something to go wrong). Also the OP can change every week from now on so if you want to make the next thread feel free to ask, the OP this time isn't the same as the one who did the first threads.
Jacob James
This isn't my kind of game at all but it's surprisingly decent so far. Also helps that this isn't really heavy at all on the simulation side, I think that would've bored me out of my mind.
So everyone can ask to make the next thread ? Sounds good but there's bound to be some people screeching autistically.
Chase Martin
Does the game have to be new to the OP as well?
Asher Powell
Also I would like to put my [insert here] up for hosting the next thread.
Isaac Morris
Originally I imposed this rule on myself to force me to get out of my comfort zone but if the person making the thread is going to change every week I see no problems with the OP being familiar with the game beforehand. As for who gets to make it those threads aren't very popular so you can just ask, if you have a doubt on which game to pick then you can either go with your gut or ask anons, there is always going to be someone unhappy with the choice anyway.
Josiah Rogers
So what is the plan with thread expiration, wait untill a certain post quantity or time since the OP?
Juan King
1 week period has been working fine so far. Usually I post a new thread during the weekend.
Nolan Peterson
There are some people who are just sour that emulation exists and always say that its "shit" even though it makes no sense. Ignore them.
Austin Morales
I can sort of understand starting PS2/NGC emulation considering some games outright won't work or require a certain amount of fiddling with settings to work. Other than that I've never encountered any problems emulating games on older system (biggest problems I had was trying to run Turrican because Amiga emulation is a bitch but that's more because I'm bad at this stuff than anything else).
Michael Flores
What's the best parts for offense ? Right now I have to rely on torpedoes if I want heavy damage fast but it's really awful to aim.
Brandon Walker
14 or so 88mm Gatling.
Actually being serious, if your build sucks just shove more 88mm Gatlings on it.
Camden Smith
for short to medium range are torpedos (try to get the oxygen variants asap) and 20cm MLRS spam for long range anti-ship-missiles are pretty good to soften the enemy up also gattlings are great all around
Nicholas Hughes
holy shit
thanks lads
Aaron Powell
Nigger are you trying to shoot down the sky it self?

Kinda sad that WG2 has that stupid cap on how much cannon can fire at the same time because of performance issues, then again wouldn't have made those things if it didn't.
Logan Howard
Love what you're doing here OP Keep it up
Aaron Rivera
How bout we do something new every week instead of playing videogames? I'm tired of videogames, they're a huge waste of time but are alright in moderation. It's come down to me not playing games and endlessly staring at the catalogue. I'm in a rut and I can't pull myself out of it. I can't find a job because >no skillz I don't know what the hell to do.

Not really The bossfight I´m currently at just vomits out aircraft like there is no tommorow and that fucks up the auto targeting of my guns
You got any tips against that twin-hull supercarrier/landingship at mission EUR-D-280?
Logan Walker
Pretty much everything in the game minus the NG+ final boss and a few others if you have trouble swerving to avoid incoming fire can be defeated with the cookie cutter design.
After that it's lock-on, keep your distance and shower your target while swerviing to avoid most of the incoming fire or grind the EM barrier to pussymode the game
If you can't fit that on any hull grind a better one, forget destroyers they suck dick (unless you grind the double hulled one but that takes an eternity and it's still way worse than frigates), you want frigates or battleship with maybe an intermediate cruiser to get you through midgame if you don't wanna grind.
There's flags you can win and equip that have various gameplay effects that might be very useful, the one from inferno 1 is worth getting very early as it helps tremendously (speeds up repairs)
Try to get as much of the hidden parts as you can since those unlock pretty vital R&D things (you'll see the insignia in the training mode (which really is just your grind mode) Need help finding the hidden parts, use kurogane.biz/wsg2/stage/index.php and a translator of your choice.
As for NG+, pretty much your only hope to get out of it alive and with all your hairs is the 90 knot + AGS + sharp turning frigate or double hulled 9x100cm rapettleship
Asher Gonzalez
Gotta say, im glad to see this game being still played. I just wish that the franchise wasn't dead.
For those interested, the sequel lets you play with submarines (on some maps). And has like 2 new game plus'.
Also, ignore Naval ops: commander. Its a fucking turd.
Brody Garcia
I know about the inferno mode The first mission was actually easy but the second one I unlocked (on the list its the third one) to destroy a couple hundret ships is impossible due to the modern fighter jet spam Also I know of the hidden parts in each level and found some actually useful (like the Nuclear Engine or supersonic torpedos), but why the fuck would a 18th century ship cannon be classified as "High-Tech weapon"? I´m using this list: gamefaqs.com/ps2/927547-warship-gunner-2/faqs/43045 to seach for the secret parts (I´m guessing EL-2 means NG+?) Should I have them unlocked by now or when do I get them? I can only research up to Battlecarriers(which suck dick) atm
Colton Brooks
You should get them after finishing Destroyers and Cruisers an getting the 6th silver swan thing

Cameron Ward
Just started. Seems like my plan of putting 6 big ass guns with 3 barrels on it worked. I one shot so many things and planes take out everything else.
Bentley Lopez
Where exactly do you think you are?
OP, keep it up, I might not get the chance to play this game especially since I'm moving with my parents right now but I'll definitely give it a shot later in the future. You remind me of the late and great SUPABUSSU with your desire to play new games and find new joys in life
Christian Brooks
How do I make it run, I installed PCSX2. I've never done this before and haven't a clue wtf I'm doing. help me please.
Christopher Williams
Who wants to make the next thread this week end ?
Hunter Harris
I dont really like to spoonfeed even for such basic shit and a game that doesn't need anything particular but just download a bios, and drag the game on PCSx2 and then boot it under file.
