Dwarf Fortress, unironically.

+1 for Dwarf Fortress.
Looks and handles like ass, but holy fuck it is so satisfying to play.

describe style and substance

Style is shallowness, substance is depth.

Fuck off normie

Roguelikes

stop jerking off to cartoons you fucking loser

So basically style is /story/cinematics/text/dialogues/ and substance is /gameplay/physics/level design/.

Litterly what DoA is suppose to be

Since virtual fighter was to hard it was suppose to be the causal bright and pretty colors fighter

No More Heroes

Yes but, over all of that graphics is the first and foremost offender of style over substance.

Nidhogg

Katamari Damacy was first going to be super realistic, but when they tried to put too many objects on screen the game chugged.

They decided to abandon that style and implement the blocky style in favour of putting as many objects on screen at once, and it was a goddamned good thing they did.

Hey wait a minute this doesn't seem quite legit

>what are examples of substance over style?
Grand Strategy games aka autism simulators
>Usually minimal graphics
>Page after page of charts and data
>Gameplay is shuffling numbers around
Pic related is Hearts of Iron

Every Platinum game ever

they really dropped the ball on his figure.

j-just point the camera down a little further p-please

This but ironically. Dwarf fortress is flashy but ultimately extremely shallow.

Wizardry

We missed out on Realistic Damacy because of inferior game console hardware...

I'm sad now.

Substance over Style? Probably Stalker or M&B. Both are ugly, jank as fuck games with a lot of depth to sink your teeth into. Compare this to, say, Skyrim, which is stylized, but lacking in substance.

Unless you mod it, lmaoaoaoaoaoaooa

I want to squeeze his balls hard

stalker is classic Yea Forums "comfy" "atmospheric" it's just old now

"comfy" is a dumb buzzword then and it's a dumb buzzword now. It's just a retarded way of saying "i enjoy how atmospheric this game is"

that's exactly what i mean, it has no substance

Yes it does you dingus

stalker has 0 depth you idiot

>Style over substance
A loot RPG where 99.99% of the shit you pick up is automatically worthless, even most of the shiny items with gold names. Probably has some procedurally generated bullshit that gives you a lot of "different" looking but mostly unappealing items.
An "open world" game where it's just a whole lot of empty space between points of interest. More effort was put into "scenic vistas" instead of an interesting world to explore.
>Substance over style
A game with a select few pieces of equipment, each with very unique features and uses. Little to nothing in the game becomes obsolete over time.
A game environment that is dense with content, detailed, and everything has a purpose. It may not be "big" but it doesn't need to be.

stalker is a linear quicksave spam face clicking game with a simple story and world

>A game environment that is dense with content, detailed, and everything has a purpose.
Fuck you Rick Berman

closet faggots

i'm 100% straight, but gay for Astolfo

i like Astolfo because of his personality and because he looks like a girl

he doesn't look like a girl. also you're not straight. you like males.

>what are examples of substance over style?
Male impregnation

then you're 0% straight.

imagine believing this doesn't look like a girl i don't like m*les, i like Astolfo

so the baby comes out from under a fold near the prostate?

Closet cases like you are subhuman trash.

Astolfo was literally a chad pussy slayer.

i'm 100% straight, but gay for Astolfo (and Ruka from Steins;Gate)

>comes out of the ass

I legit wonder if the asshole is able to open wide enough for a baby to pass through.

i'm not in the closet, i assume i'm gay for Astolfo

but i'm attracted to him because he looks and sounds like a girl

You're gay.

a good chunk of the SaGa series

>goatse.png

astolfo is a fag exclusively, he's only into dudes.

it would tear and bleed most likely - happens to many girls during birth and heals over time - depends on the baby's size

yes, I'm gay for Astolfo, but otherwise straight

it's a good thing he doesn't exist and he is just a drawing of a 2D girl

Reminder that Astolfo is for ironic weeb faggots and trannies.
