P2P Multiplayer Anonymous 08/07/2019 (Wed) 15:16 [Preview] No. 11753 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]

Is P2P multiplayer still a thing in PC gaming? I remember in the old days if you had your friend's IP you could connect to eachother and get some online games going between 2 or multiple people.
No gamespy or any server login.
Everyone uses steam now, but do any newer games have a P2P multiplayer option?

name some old games too if any come to mind that are good multiplayer games with a P2P option. It used to be a given that a multiplayer game would have this, but like couch coop, its becoming harder to find. I would like to gather a collection of games that i could still play mutltiplayer with friends, even if servers close.

Afraid I can't help you too much with newer games as I'm not playing many. If a game is steam exclusive but has a normal dedicated server system it's possible to use a steam emulator like SSE to play with pirated copies which means they're still playable if the main servers go down I know that much.

im aware of hamachi and i could also use logmein or any screenshare app to accomplish the same thing with local coop games. or use VMs to do this.
but that completely misses the point of the thread.

>Afraid I can't help you too much
did i accidentally post this on the amazon.com q&a section?

seriously though, if all you know is older games, just list some good ones that you know for a fact have easy P2P/directconnect/local server/lan setup. i plan on using the info to make an infograph and possibly a torrent of all the games.

there currently is no list and i think it would be a great way for anons to continue playing games online even if (((something))) happens.

Honestly almost any game before 2010 would fit but whatever. Have some tactical FPSes I know for a fact work because that's what I played most recently:

SWAT 3
SWAT 4
Ghost Recon
Early Rainbow Six games

Gacha is more of a chink thing, although Japs do love pachinko for some reason.
The oldest I can think of something like microtransactions was Bethesda DLC for Oblivion, the horse armor being the most egregious bit. I doubt they took much inspiration from it.
If you had shown a gamer in 2006 what kind of things are sold in games today they'd laugh at how absurd it is.

That's one of the earliest ones that's known about certainly.

People got mad about horse armour but they still bought it. At this point it's clear we can't rely on the average human to vote with their wallet and need actual legal changes. That or actually found a gamer terrorist group and threaten them into stopping.

Even worse, while Horse Armor is still a joke (that people bought anyway), content like Fire Emblem's DLC is celebrated now, even though it is the same type and amount of content.

Why won't there be a JRPG that just lets me play the fucking game? I don't even care if the battles are repetitive as shit like Valkyria Chronicles II, just let me slap together a party, jump into gameplay and progress the story through special attacks or something. Like instead of the fucking Meteo you just slap a cutscene in there, so I have a reason to farm opportunities to use special attacks even if they're shit at combat.

Mixer vs Twitch Anonymous 08/05/2019 (Mon) 16:43 [Preview] No. 11565 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]

Im not even a streamer watcher, but the polemic with that Ninja faggot have made me discover Mixer. And I must say that, compared to the few time I went to Twitch, it worked better than Twitch. But that my small experience with both sites.
Because maybe I start using one of the stream sites (Watching some streams is not bad to enjoy), I want to bee sure if Mixer is all that good, or if anyone here thinks Twitch is better. Mixer only problem at first look is that is in the hands of Microsoft; But still Twitch with is retarded policies doesnt make it appealing. So redpill me on these sites. Or is there any better (And populated enough) alternative to these two sites?

It's the same reason people watch sports, it's entertainment. Most people suck at games so they get to watch someone who's a lot better than them play, or someone who is funny. That's basically it. And the chat is usually just shitposting or game discussion.

As for your question, mixer seems to be much faster. The streams load in <1 second as opposed to about 4 or 5 on twitch. Also mixer automatically shows you the past ~30 or so chat messages when you first join. That's all I've noticed, I watch a couple osrs streamers occasionally and checked out mixer.

Discord is full of shit on more ways than one, and has been since around 2017. Playstation and Sony aren't quite what it used to be back in the PS1, PS2, or PS3 days. I'm glad the Switch is out-selling both the PS4 and PS5 even now in Japan and ROK, as well as Taiwan, and certain other Countries in Asia.

Also no more heroes 3 is going to suck I can feel it.
Please let me be wrong but I think its at the stage where everyone is trying to make references to the old no more heroes so the people who played it years ago can be like "I REMEMBER THAT XD" And they'll go the cheap route of making bosses feel more absurd and less quirky (in a good way) or fun than old NMH. I swear to fuck if there's a single goddamn selfie reference or 'this is how the world works now gramps look at my iphone' I'll 'switch' the game off.

Play MOOM on 4K Ultra-Nightmare. It's actually pretty good.

Other than that look into emulators with Vulkan renderers. Nshittia's Vulkan support may be inferior to AMD but you've got a fucking 2070 so you should be able to handle RPCS3 just fine.

Or you could sell it and get a Vega/5700 to join the linuxgaymen master race

Off the top of my head, Kangdom Come: Deliverance, Divinity OS II, ELEX, Metro: Exodus, EDF 5, Ashes of the Singularity, Sekiro, Nioh, Forza Horizon 4, Soul Caliber 6, DMC 5, Yakuza 0/Kiwami, Ace Combat 7, R2make, etc.

Also, there's sims like DCS or X-Plane, but if you're autistic enough to enjoy them, you probably already play them.
