Let's get a new general going for general purpose gaming news, and to start it off the most newsworthy piece of fighting game happenings at the moment. EVO MOMENT #38
>>426299 They can still include Nadia and Trevor in DLCs. But I've a feeling that any DLCs will just include extra missions. If there will be any at all, since the hype for the game went down a lot after people played the demo and realized it's shit.
Warhammer Non-Specific: a thread for all things Warhammer. From fantasy to 40k. Vidya to roleplaying. Post it here. Especially miniatures. If you have 'em, post 'em. Other peoples cool models is fine too.
>>426244 Was surprised when a bunch of DoW stuff appeared in my library. Dark Crusade, Soulstorm, etc. Which I think have all been delisted from Steam now.
>>426229 Fuck nintendrones more, when the company goes out of its way to fuck them over in terms of not making old media readily availible while hounding anyone using emulation. Just a bunch of asian dinosaurs thinking they are electronic emperors.
What do you think of the Mother trilogies entries? Last month, I played M1 for the first time, and I have mixed thoughts. On the one hand, it feels a lot like a prototype of M2/Earthbound, and on the other hand, almost all the stuff that wasn't carried into the sequel is pretty great. I hope either of those remakes comes out they might let me enjoy the good parts of it more.
Since someone wanted a Doom thread lets get one read in preparation for Eternal, this is a haven for all Doom related discussion or posting of music and images.
Random thought; you gotta feel bad about the Elite Guards from Doom 2016 that serve as a source of upgrades for the player. They were cyborg super soldiers and the best chance on the base at fighting off the demons, but because they were such badasses their cybernetics included a kill switch in case of mutiny... which meant they were easily killed off by the same person letting the demons in.
You never see any of them possessed and their bodies are in much better condition than other corpses, just slumped over in pools of their own blood.
There's a Sentinels of the Multiverse 2 getting made, because there's a new version of the card game which is pretty much totally overhauled in terms of the rules/game mechanics and with new content not seen before. Presumably because I backed >>199851 their previous efforts got an e-mail about the new thing they are launching.
Presume it will appear on Kickstarter, its still counting down at the moment. Gonna throw some money its way since I did enjoy SotM Digital alot.
An important thing that must be remembered, since particular companies go out of their way to remove Roms from existence of games they will never go back to thus depriving people of a chance to experience them.
This goes double for games that were never translated and thus you only ever had a chance to play through fan-translation-patches. Anyone have personal stories when it comes to that? Live A Live was mine, in the process became one of my favorite rpgs now. https://fantasyanime.com/legacy2/live_about.htm

In my younger years relied on translation patches on roms played via emulation to experience various japan-only games (primarily rpgs, where being able to actually understand the text was more important to being able to play the game).
Nowadays they are remaking and remastering all such old rpgs, and thankfully they aren't always dogshit like when devs 'remaster' more modern games such as the grand theft auto series (and then proceed to fucking delist the better older versions from all marketplaces).
>>426231 FFV was my first final fantasy thanks to translation patches. All the later games in the series sucked dick compared to it. FFVI felt like a romhack where they turned every class to a boring character.
And FFV in particular is a prime example of classic RPGs being remastered in dogshit ways.
Looks like Kaladesh is the artifact centric plane as we saw it in Origins. And Tezzeret is mucking about for reasons, so my bet is on Phyrexians in the second half. Poison counters plus Energy counters, oh my!
