I played a few games among friends in elementary school. It's still a fun card game to play on occasion. I enjoyed going through the GBA game and the Dungeon Dice Game.
Too much of a time sink tbh.

I played both games and like both, but Momster Hunter is waayyyyyy better.
That's awesome. Also isn't Vidula way into FFXIV? I remember him posting videos.
The only way I would have fun playing this game is if every single card would remplaced with the monster girl equivalent, or chibi anime girls.
OMG, it would be my crack if it was monster girls....and now I am mad that it isn't real!
Watching Alien Isolation, I recently had a realization that TLOU or at least the engine it uses (With some tweaking of course) could honestly become an amazing basis for modern survival horror games.
Not RE4 etc. I mean literal PSX Survival Horror modernized, giving the same sort of feeling that player gimping and tank controls gave us, but in a more sensible and somewhat accessible way that still gives the player that sensation from that era of horror games.
Then, I was thinking about it some more, and I was pointing out to Beloved how there are a lot things in AI that remind me of how TLOU worked, only slower and in first person, and I realized, you could make an incredible Dino Crisis game out of AI that actually gives you that feeling the old games did and those tense JP-like moments.

That's some hype music.
You know what else is hype? Nintendo directs
You know what's not? I'll be in class during it
Those girl look too human and not enough like monsters.
I bet it doesn't even have a Lamia

I beleive everytime Pat talks about it he calls it mainstream survival horror, and I definitely agree really. TLOU's focus on stealth is the biggest thing thats different from classic survival horror.
Isn't your connection terrible? Why are you trying to stream?
The way it plays and feels in general though is a really good middle ground where the game makes sense but still has that feeling of old survival horror, it seemed like for awhile people were thinking "Well it has to be this extreme that most people lack the attention span for, or this action extreme where it's kind of a completely different game now"
I really like tank controls
Yeah it is, I'm trying to see what I can get away with. Playing MGS GZ

I really doubt ND would make the series more horror in any sequel project, but it totally has a good amount of the pieces in place. I would love for companies to take cues from it in future games and take in that direction. Imagining a game that plays like TLOU in a Meroidvania RE1-esque mansion, or several smaller levels like SH, with enemies that are frightening to engage like Boomers and Clickers is awesome. I dunno how it'd be balanced without stealth, but I'm damn curious.
They're pretty awesome.
Modern Horror games do seem to have evolved to be overly stealth based. I get it though, its the easiest way to make the player feel helpless and instill fear/tension. I do miss the good old days but I'll take what I can get horror wise.
My connection isn't reliable at this time so I can't see shit without it buffering every 2 sec...
Have fun tho.
If you were turning it into RE, you could definitely make the mechanics clunkier and more brutal without it becoming a situation where it no longer makes any sense, removing stealth would be a little silly, there's no real reason to do that, you could keep that in because while most regular enemies wouldn't REALLY require it, situations and certain boss battles would, a character like Leon with Police training and so on should be utilizing tactics like that anyway when dealing with a faster/stronger enemy.
I read it when I was a kid
Yeah it's skipping for me too.

I'm glad Pat has found the crack light. I play Hearthstone when I've got nothing else to do, it is also my normal game I play during the podcast if I'm not doing anything.
I can't wait until I can play it on my phone instead of my tablet, even more portable crack.

Well then there isn't much I can do. Streaming isn't for me at this point in time

The eurobeat track in the latest Drift Stage update got me so friggin hype. When I get paid on Friday I'm pledging so hard.
I really hope there's going to be cars styled like an AE86 and RX7.

I just never liked pure stealth personally. Its slow and plodding and being seen feels like instant failure. TLOU's was alright mainly because of how offensive it is, encouraging you to kill dudes one by one. I'll always prefer maneuvering around enemies like in games with Tank Controls, but I realize its not appealing.
Being able to deal with a few enemies and not many, is something TLOU does decently well though. Ill always prefer scrounging for materials over pure stealth.
I guess I don't mean remove stealth as much as I mean that it should be toned wayyyy down. I think only certain enemies requiring stealth would be pretty rad. It'd be a great way to spice things up and induce tension. I love enemies that are extremely tough, but blind.
I'm in the same boat with the tank control love. But obviously they are dead and never coming back ;_;

I just completed an endurance arcade run of the beginner course in Daytona. That's 80 laps on that oval track.
That is definitely the definition of endurance, holy shit. Placed 1st though, and I've pretty much perfected my technique on turn 3 so I don't go off the road, but you really gotta focus for like half an hour to get through on top.
This HD version is subtly teaching me the ways of proper Daytona USA play, and I'm enjoying it.

Hey GAF what's going on.
I'm going through hell trying to get my books for school.

That moment I realize TEW was an attempt at exactly what we're talking about but not nearly as good/polished as TLOU, even though I really like Evil Within.
What's your upload? I can probably give you a frame of reference for what you can get away with.
But Grim Fandango and RERemake are right around the corner! TANK CONTROLS FOR EVERYONE

More or less. So much potential.

So I just looked up what you're talking about, because Daytona USA was the arcade game I'd see the most here and also the most enjoyable, are you playing "The 90's Arcade Racer" ? Since it seems to recreate Daytona with a much more modern look.
REmake has a new control scheme for people WHO HATE GOOD THINGS and are bad at getting gud.

No, it's actually Daytona USA. Sega released an HD version of it on PSN and XBLA a few years ago. It looks just like the original game but in widescreen this time instead of 4:3.
Still very fun, but it would be nice if Scud Race and Daytona 2 got the same treatment. Those games are equally excellent.
I plan to play REmake, I missed out on Gamecube, and I only played some of RE4 back then, so I'm seriously planning on getting it since I'm looking for a good survival horror that looks decent.

I'm playing it without the tank controls just to make the tank control apologists salt.

RE4 was still a decently terrifying game with optimal over the shoulder controls.
You're only hurting yourself
You know what's fun? Having to work with someone that has like no engagement, and only does the bare minimum.
Also, I now have a backlog of Zaibatsu videos to catch up on, and the podcast!
I used to have too much free time, so I would burn through the videos and rewatch older lp while waiting for new stuff.
Edit: how do you guys like my new avatar?

Jokes guys. Calm down.
I'll play with the one I like more, but I'll probably end up with tank because it would feel awkward any other way. That game was made for that control scheme.
Low quality image.

dota and the new podcast. I'm at the part where pat starts talking about crack
Sorry bud, your streaming dreams are probably crushed unless you upgrade your internet.
OBS may be more complicated but Xsplit is "set it and go" basically. The features OBS has, Xsplit would make you pay for.
And it's more efficient than Xsplit, IIRC. It doesn't require as much resources.
I want to at least try out non-tank mode and see if it makes the experience better or worse and finally put this debate to rest.
