/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>32999244
Personally, no. Unrelated reasons.

>>32999244
Does Gikopoi count?

>>32999587
I'm unsure, I've never tried it myself but heard it was pretty much just a glorified chatroom

No, I haven't. There is some interest in starting a /jp/ TF2 server, but the thread discussing it fell off the board a few days ago.

gikopoi, mahjong, browser games and of course the gta server

I remember really liking that Dota 2 mod thing, does anyone even play it anymore, besides a couple random SEA steam groups?

That sounds awful.

>>32999244
if we arent gonna pool money together and travel for third world asian sex tourism then what is the point

>>32999244
Played some fps with someone I met who also browsed /jp/.
I also vaguely remember a few years back someone posted a thread about an obscure mmo called Haven&Hearth, we made a village called Welcome Hell, fun times.

>>33003853
Holy crap. I remember this!

>>33014164
I played a couple of games years ago, and it's honestly more fun, than actually playing ranked.
Last time I checked there were 0 players in queue all day, and a couple SEA fags hosting it like once a week.
I wonder if I should try /vm/

>>33014551
I only played one match or two from some thread way years back. I was way too shy so I ended up loading it offline for myself later on.

Would be cool to see some /jp/ plays threads

>>33020265
ｸow would they work?

There are discord groups for the fighting games aren't there? I imagine most of those people browse /jp/.

>>33003612
>gikopoi, gta server
These + soku
>>33020265
They do appear sometimes.

>>32999244
Ez and Fun. Sometimes the game makes it not so easy.

>>33014643
You still have a chance, Granted, it's the original DoTS.

tf2

Yep, double dildo dragon with this kid on twitter. I used Onatsuyu even though I had tons of astroglide from years before.

Anyone who plays ffxiv? Wonder if people here play on jp servers

>>32999244
Been a long time since the last /jp/ netoge thread. I remember many, many years ago there was talk of making a /jp/ corp in EVE. Did anything ever come of that? I've been thinking of the game again lately but I never have anybody to play with. Lonely by yourself, and being just another mindless mob in one of those giant corp's is no fun either.

Only time I meet fellow tos in tf2 they insta leave as soon as the match ends. Looking at you Cirno who just left 2fort

>>33020265
This is a good idea, could pick a handful of games and see how it goes

>>33031643
Melty Blood or the touhou fighters might be topical enough to work, but a lot of people are intimidated by the genre. TF2 seems popular here but doesnt have shit to do with Japan.

The other issue is organization. From what I’ve seen successful matchmaking on 4chan is kind of rare even though it does happen sometimes.

>>32999244
Only older MMORPGs and maybe Vanguard Princess. I don't remember if that had netplay. /jp/ hasn't been able to take it easy since /vg/ was created. Too many /v/tards and /vg/oons try to trick innocent /jp/sies into playing with them.

>>33032507
an mmo would be interesting but I can't really think of any that would suit the board's aesthetic.

>>33032507
>>33032745
Has nobody made a touhou mmo?

>>33032745
/jp/ only played anime mmos, RO, Mabinogi, Cosmic Break, the trash Aeria Games brings over, and the like. The closest things nowadays would be that SMT: Imagine private server or Genshin Impact, though that's only 4 at a time I think. But old /jp/ wasn't too anal about games and played Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress as well.

>>33032821
I'd play the shit out of a touhou mmo honestly

>>33032821
It was called Valkyrie Sky. It was fun, but the devs had no idea what to do with the rest of the game that wasn't epic danmaku battles. For any future devs, the answer is the ability to sit around drinking sake and viewing flowers, not auto fishing.

>>33032892
Speaking of minecraft https://yukkuricraft.net/

>>33032908
is it dead now? the only bullet hell shooter mmo i've ever played was rotmg, a touhou themed one would be cool

>>33032908
So basically rping when out of duty

>>33003231
I was there! Really wish someone who knew about that stuff would set it up sometime, I would definitely play.

>>33029903
I almost thought this was me but I wasn't playing 4 hours ago.

>>33033250
>I almost thought this was me
I am not good at rping at all but those times I meet someone with a character name + avatar they are like super cold while I try to engage them

>>33033294
It probably wasn't me then, I only have Cirno as my avatar and my name is something else. I have bad luck finding any other people with 2hu icons on tf2 in general, do you all play on community servers or something?

>>33032991
Yeah it died pretty quickly since they had no idea what they were doing, but it was fun while it lasted and had music from one of those Touhou doujin music groups. The music was really good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdMUoCUtzFU&list=PLC5580EC9808FC2AF

There were both co-op normal STG maps and Senko no Ronde/Suguri style duels.

>>33033406
The OST is pretty good, also checked out the gameplay, seems very unique.

how would a tf2 server even go? would we just play the game normally like any other server? would we have it up 24/7 or announce when it'll be up ahead of time and play for a few hours?

Reminder that there's sometimes a GTA server.

>>33032745
MapleStory 2 had a thread here for its global release, although the game quickly fizzled out and shut down sometime last year. A social sandbox like that would've been perfect, and it was cute to boot, but it just didn't live up to its potential.
Tree of Savior had some interesting class choices from what I remember, things like: Taoists, Mikos, and Shikigami summoners. I never got too into it so I can't exactly vouch for its quality, or if there would be much interest for it on the jay.
Blue Protocol is one of the only upcoming games I'm aware of, although there's no real indication of when it's going to release.
Other than those I can't think of many. MMO's seem to be a dying genre unfortunately, not many are willing to put the effort in developing such large scale games when they can make a quick buck from mobile gacha kusoge.

>>33033762
Hosting one is pretty easy and you can fit it onto a $5/mo VPS. I'd do it myself but just putting a 24/7 vanilla with map cycle feels halfassed. Wish we had someone good at map making so there could be an hub where people can idle/vote for something to do

>>32999244
I join in the regular 100% Orange Juice lobbies, but that's about it

>>33034246
>Tree of Savior had some interesting class choices from what I remember, things like: Taoists, Mikos, and Shikigami summoners. I never got too into it so I can't exactly vouch for its quality, or if there would be much interest for it on the jay.
It was fun for 3 years of open betas and early access, but they change the entire game and its systems once a year, which caused me to give up on it myself. It has some of the best music ever though, so I still follow it.

/jp/ really should come back to Mabinogi. It's the only cute game where you can take it easy, cosplay 2hus, and not have to do anything if you don't want to.

I wouldn't mind playing some Mahjong

>>33035069
Are there any /jp/ mabi guilds still active?

>>33035069
>/jp/ really should come back to Mabinogi
I would be up for that if more people are willing to join.

>>33032821
>>33032902
>Has nobody made a touhou mmo?
How would a Touhou mmo even work?

>>33038205
Why do you need a whole family? Just play. The community is still decent enough that you can find a group if you need and /jp/ doesn't really chat much at all, at least not back in the day. There's probably some discord circlejerk nowadays that plays/would play though. /jp/ also has had this problem with dropping games after a few weeks no matter what, so your group would most likely quickly disperse.

>>33038184
Probably not. Guilds aren't really necessary. No one really ever did/does guild wars that much and housing is more or less dead because of the auction house and ability to build walk-in houses on your homestead now. You can make group chats to talk to people and likely will talk to them through other mediums anyway, and if you were expecting background guild chatter, you probably wouldn't get much of that from /jp/.

>>33032908
>Valkyrie Sky
I remember seeing something about that.
I don't know if it's still around since it was 5+ years ago.

I'm sure there's a shitty Touhou game on Roblox if you really want something quick.

I considered making a thread for 100% Orange Juice, but the whole december debacle, and the recent flare-up made me lose interest in it.

>>33038535
Something similar to Valkyrie Sky or Rotmg but with 2hu sprites

I remember playing World of Tanks with /jp/

>>33050143
>World of Tanks
2016 was the last good year.
2018 was the turn
There's nothing left in that game.

>>33048869
Is it fun? I've never played it before.

Do you play Mabinogi through Steam or without?

Does Mabinogi allow opportunities for griefing? Most of my hours in my old MMO were devoted to making weirdos angry over my cartoon video game character.

>>33057018
Without. You probably still need the nexon launcher anyway.

>>33057316
If you mean pvp then no, unless you trick someone into turning on their world pvp modes.

>>33057865
I just tried it through Steam and I'm surprised how resource intensive an MMO from 2003 is on my ThinkPad x220 even with AA turned off. Noticeably low frame rates. It looked like it could be fun, not fair.

>>33058291
MMOs get updated constantly, usually. The date they came out doesn't matter.

Been playing FFXI and PSO2 with people I met from /jp/, was a fun experience so far. I still miss several people and games we played, like Ragnarok and ECO.

Doesn't help that modern games in general, not just MMOs, are really declining in quality, so there isn't much to look forward to.

There must be something we could do, preferably something that doesn't require a dedicated gpu and quad core cpu and over 4gb of memory.

>>33067501
Does it have to run on Win2k too? Even my PC from 2011 is better than that.

>>33056955
>Is it fun
dude.

>>33071359
What?

>>33069214
You did a classism. You did a privilege. You did a no growth.

geimu with /jp/sies!

Why all this obsession with MMOs?
Go visit Touhou netplay thread on /vm/, and play some soku, or iamp.

>>33079536
No, those games suck. MMOs are a good place to take it easy. If you want cute girls fighting, play Arcana Heart.

>>33079560
I'm sorry about being a blatant newfag, but maybe you should cut back on the "take it easy" thing, this board looks like Touhou themed /r9k/.

Explain Arcana Heart to me, I watched some AnimeEVO replay, and every other round was 15 seconds long, with 20 hit air combos, throws, and grapples that take half of your hp bar.
The visuals and audio look as bad as it gets, and I'm sure community is as dead as Touhou fighers, so why even play this over KoF or GG?
You're probably the only person on this board, who is semi-competent at the game, while anyone can and do play soku at a decent level.

>>33080252
/r9k/ was taken over by the neet/hikki/women-haters from /jp/ to begin with. I dunno what it's like nowadays that you're comparing it to.

>Explain Arcana Heart to me
Sure
>The rest of your post
Nah, go back to >>>/vg/.

>>33080312
That's the thing, I'm not from /vg/, and I don't play fighting games, beyond dicking around with my friends.
And I'm sure this is true for majority of the people who posted itt.
I know gatekeeping is a good thing, but there are plenty of interested people who are willing to learn, and seeing a game like that just seems like a huge fuck you to most of them.
Enjoy playing your anime fighers on your own, because oldfags get jobs, settle down, or kill themselves, and anyone new would not touch that with a ten foot pole.

>>32999244
Back when fun was still allowed on /jp/, we used to play games together all the time. I played ai sp@ce, Haven & Hearth, World of Tanks, Tree of Savior, Melty Blood and probably a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten with /jp/. Later efforts to play something together never really worked out, in no small part because of janitors/mods removing any threads that were not Touhou/imas imagedumps.

>>33014039
That name does not ring a bell for me, which world was that?

>>33048869
December debacle?

>>33085778
Remember that fag spamming Wizardry threads and reporting other threads because no one wanted to play it with him?

Real Time Strategy 2hu game with my fellow jpsies? Maybe.

>>33080552
>I know gatekeeping is a good thing, but there are plenty of interested people who are willing to learn, and seeing a game like that just seems like a huge fuck you to most of them.
It's not a matter of gatekeeping, you just cannot take it easy and need to take your chill pills. It's not really worth answering you if you have such a hostile attitude.

As for the series, it's basically Street Fighter type combat but with a focus on vertical scrolling and air dashes/combos. The characters also use these things called arcana which switch up their special abilities. Each has a canon arcana, but you can use whichever. The arcana modify their basic speed, attack power, etc, as well as give access to unique special moves and supers. There's also a shorter mode you can go into that increases the influence of the arcana on your basic stats, changes the background, and allows you to do a ultimate move if you want. It's sort of like GG's mode when you go to do an instant kill,but just going into the mode itself enhances you so you don't have to do anything else while in it and the ultimate move doesn't instant kill people. Characters also have their own normal moves and so these combinations of characters and arcana make for a shitton of combinations, but are still mostly balanced due to the modification of the character's base stats.

One good example is the Time arcana, which makes you speedy but weaker. It lets you dash through enemies, make after images, and store up future attacks, it's special can freeze enemies in place for a few seconds and it's ultimate stops time completely outside the character for a short while, including the match timer. However the opponent will be however they were at the moment, so if they're blocking or falling, they'll stay like that and be hard to damage, on top of you being weaker and your combo damage quickly falling off to chip damage.

It's also notable that you can control a lot of slower moving projectiles while they're in mid air, making them curve up or down. You can generally stop them with other projectiles too but they have different strengths. There's a lot of typical anime/fighting game characters and some interesting characters too, like this one character, Eko, who fights with her drawings. Mostly it's her main drawing that fights, but she can send out little animals that will move at you. The tricky thing though is that instead of leaving the stage when they pass the opponent, they will start walking up the side of the screen. The series is about as wacky as GG, but you don't have to remember how to perform 500 moves and 4 different ways to cancel. Honestly, if you know how to play SF, then you could pick this series right up.

>grapples that take half of your hp bar.
This girl, probably. She's literally Zangief. Same inputs and attacks.

>>33086621
I guess I should chill, and it does sound interesting when you put it like that, so I'll try it, but tell me what in the absolute fuck is this thing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTBTWIkxRf4

I also have seen some Fiona vs Fiona match, that looked pretty similar, do they play like this on purpose? It looks like Tekken, where you have to be really good to properly counter a fucking button masher.

Now that I think about it, Kira's design is quite appealing.

>>33085778
Man seeing old haven graphics brings me back...
And I believe it was world 10.

>>33087115
I'd say it's the opposite and you'd lose to anyone who could play even a bit if you were mashing. The inputs can be kind of strict to the point some people have complained it's hard to get them to work. On the other hand, most things are just typical 236 214 623 kinda stuff, with the most complicated being the Zangief 720 degree rotations.

Bump for potential

>>32999587
wouldn't say it counts as a game, but it's a cool place with cool people
it's especially better and more populated since giko2 has been available

I've played with /jp/sies that turned out to be cross-dressers/traps/trans etc and there was always powerful sexual tension. I miss them...

>>33086098
>reporting other threads because no one wanted to play it with him
What other threads? How would just one person's reports affect another thread that much unless they were a janny/mod?

Then again I'm sure as hell there were also other factors that involved the deletion of MMOs in /jp/.

>>33093876
>What other threads?
Any thread about any MMO or game that wasn't Wizardry.
>How would just one person's reports affect another thread that much
Kept whining about how the games weren't even Japanese (not that it mattered, see pic) and Wizardy was. /vg/ was around too so threads were getting pushed off to there. Also one guy is all it takes to make a report that gets action taken. One guy bumps the whole board sometimes when it was slow and pushes off threads. Sometimes I go into general threads and report their off topic frogposts or lewdposts and they get deleted. Even if this thread isn't allowed, it's still here because no one has reported it.

If there were any MMOs to play, /jp/, would still talk about them mods or not. Sadly there are only mobile games and open world survival multiplayer.

>>33094038
I doubt the janny/mods aren't checking whatever the fuck you're doing. And what do you mean by ''offtopic frogposts''?

>open world survival multiplayer
Like what? It's not like /jp/ really plays ARK or any of that garbage actively...right?

/vm/fag here. Why not host a random killing floor 1 server? There's a 2hu character pack that's easy to set up & it's good casual fun.

>>33094310
>And what do you mean by ''offtopic frogposts''?
/jp/ is not a frogposting board. Do not post pepe or derivatives here.

>Like what?
Like nothing /jp/ would play or admit to playing.

>>33095124
>/jp/ is not a frogposting board. Do not post pepe or derivatives here.
Watafug man.

>Like nothing /jp/ would play or admit to playing.
? ? ?

>>33094388
go back to your dead board, crossie.

Play Mabinogi. It is great fun.

>>33095623
Old and busted, sadly. A lot of people in here already played and finished the game's OG content, so it's unlikely that they want to return in the first place.

I'd have loved if they didn't cancel Mabinogi 2 and made it 2D instead of that photorealistic garbage they were trying to push. Doesn't help that Nexon has a long record of cancelling projects without improvements or anything, for whatever reasons.

>>33094038
>Sadly there are only mobile games and open world survival multiplayer.
Literal garbage.

>>33094388
>Why not host a random killing floor 1 server?
because all of my ports are broken and the only controller I want to get better using is broken on top of me not wanting to use my mouse.

>>33095678
I don't get people who like to give up everything and start over all the time.

>>33098186
I'm seconding you on this one. It's pretty far up there on the list of unanswerable questions.

I am very drunk and I would like to play geimu with /jp/sies if at all possible. Yes it is you on the right, I know this.

>>33098186
>>33108956
People play video games for fun. The early-game, when you have nothing and have many goals to work towards, is often more fun than the mid- to late-game, where you already have a lot and each accomplishment feels less rewarding. In the end, there is no actual value to your in-game possessions or accomplishments, so it's worth sacrificing them for more fun.

>>33056955
It's a board game with heavy RNG mechanics, so it's a lot of fun if you're into that. If you're not, then you're probably just going to rage quit after the first three games.

The game isn't completely random however. You need to put some thought into your moves and try and "manipulate" the RNG in your favour.

Do any of you /jp/ frens play EU4?

>>33080252
>Touhou themed /r9k/
Best way I can describe this place imho

Does anyone ever cosplay as a touhou character in other games?

I don't want to play with /v/tard and reddit hangers-on that were washed up here along with the holoshit thread. I'd wait for a few months for them to get bored and go away before asking to play with /jp/

>>33121294
What games should we play by then?

>>33121294
They are never going away. vt*bers got their own board and the catalog still has 11 different vt*ber generals.

>>33124976
Isn't that an improvement? There used to be more, right?

>>33129097
Stats greatly improved. The only general that keeps shitting the posts per minute ratio is the hololive one. Other vtuber threads are comparable to your average /jp/ thread. Not saying they should stay here but, in theory, having holo general move on the new board would greatly affect the pace of the board too

Quit whining about youtube whores and gigolos

>>33117830

You could look for pics on your phone while looking for items (?), no need to design them from memory
The most frustrating thing for me is finding a good enough item but finding out it's incompatible with your current class or can't be dyed to match the original design perfectly

>>33136437
>You could look for pics on your phone while looking for items (?)
That is a good idea that I tried but I felt really dirty thinking to myself "you loser can't even remember all clothing parts or hair and eye color of every touhou".
Though saying that I really don't play any games recently that have a resembling fashion equal to touhou or creators in general.

What ever happened to VR Chat? Is that the one where people cuddle and fall sleep together? Can you be a 2hu in that one?

>>33150710
If you can find or are able to convert a 3d model to a compatible version then yes. It has quite a bit of personalities on youtube/twitch but again it's more like a source of entertainment to watch instead of something you actually experience yourself due to the somewhat prohibitive vr set prices right now

>>33150710
I went to the /vg/ thread once to learn how to become a 2hu. Browsing the thread for a few minutes made me want to not interact with those people.

>>33150837

>somewhat prohibitive vr set prices
The Quest is rather cheap, although you apparently need a Fagbook account to use that.

>>33151420
>Can't you play it on PC?
It is meant to be played on PC if I remember correctly. Also visors always kind of cost like a console. Would rather spend double the price on a non shit FB visor if I had the budget anyway though

Why do you want to be a 2hu in other games anyway? Why not an OS-tan or a vocaloid or something? You could be Illya or Rika, but you want to be Cirno instead.

>>33157835
>Why do people do things anyway? Why not doing something else? You could do this or that, but you want to do this instead.
