Imo deadfire was mediocre but to their credit, at least they added a turn based mode to deadfire as an option. I never tried it, prefer TB > RTWP but supposedly it fucks up the balance and makes the game take 6,000,000 hours to finish.

The people who play on these servers are already maladjusted weirdos. The people who play on these servers and post on 4chan are a worse breed.
The type of person who plays on these servers, posts on 4chan, and then gets into fucking roleplaying server drama and then posts about it on 4chan is basically sitting at the peak of autistic retard and inherently adds an unspoken detail to any drama they're a part of. No matter how much they'll try and smear other people involved or act like they did nothing wrong, they're the kind of person who cries about roleplaying server drama on 4chan. Any testimony they can give can be safely thrown out on account.

Yeah I noticed you're hiding your argument behind those women. But you still failed to notice each of their clothes have small variations to them.

But you're failing to admit you're wasting your life away while your aryan race needs you at the frontline. Maybe it's just a nuance that requires more IQ than the unfortunate amount you have?

It does make your character feel a bit helpless for a moment, but it's a daedra lord, so kinda makes sense. At least for me it was easy to roll with it. Iirc you can defy him later.

>>3489259
>I also recommend NOT taking the slow down block perk
This was good advice, undid it with the console and feels better already

>>3490035
Yeah it is better. Enemies have attack animations that you can respond to, which already makes the combat better than Oblivion, where dodging strikes was often impossible. The slow down perk only slows you down if you know how to play. It's good for the skyrim grandmas out there.

Magic in Skyrim is so fucking shit because of the retarded two holster mechanic and causing a ratrace of metagaming to get zero mana costs on all of your spells.

I always enjoy pure melee/archers more

>>3492292
>two holster mechanic
It's a neat way to balance playstyles. Being able to equip anything on two hands, use shouts, and on top of that cast spells off-hand like in Oblivion would be too much, allowing more of that jack-of-all trades gameplay. Now there's more of a downside to juggling shit in your hands.

Many people lack the maturity to simply admit being wrong, and it's hard to let go of the misconceptions.

I certainly think people are right to be upset about it. It not being a new problem doesn't mean it's not a problem. Every new thing has a chance to correct where stuff went to far. Instead they always double down.

The problem with Nowa though is that he has even less personality and emotion than those mutes he was downplaying. And that goes double for the emotions and personality they instilled in the player. McDohl had more pathos in one extra sprite animation than Nowa did in all his dialogue combined. Having a voice doesn't make you a better character when you don't have anything interesting to say.

>>3492078
The dungeon design towards the second half of the game is honestly awe inspiringly awful. For all kinds of reasons. But realistically it'd be more accurate to say that the opening 3rd of the game was better designed than the 2/3rds that succeed it. Even things such as stat growths are relatively tame for the first 10ish levels of progress.
And I kept having brain poison when entering a new dungeon and thinking of games that did those dungeons better even outside of Suikoden. Like getting to Hishan Old Town and comparing that to Hexed Chandra.

>>3492093
I wish Nowa was half as passionate in main plot interactions as he was about integrity of spinning top matches

I fucking hate Leene. Not just the character, not just how she was presented throughout the game (the rare times she showed-up she comes as being as obnoxious as fucking Lian, if not more) and, since we are speaking about hilariously bad balancing, how badly broken she can be with the runes you could slap on her. I guess the devs wanted to make a point about her being the 'SUPER DUPER LUCKY GIRL xD' but I wish she would've stayed a non-character by the time I recruited her (like a good passive character or something, but you got people like Perielle and ) and then the moment she joins us and you train her to some extent, she immediately outclasses the likes of Iugo, Mio, CJ and Reyna became not so useful anymore since her main rune is hitting everyone with little to absolutely no damage mitigation nor scattering. Now granted, I could've ignored her completely but by that time I wanted to be done with the game so I can go to other things and it wasn't like that the game was challenging to begin with.
She feels like a character that should've died at some point of the game because of that particular design but making making her the last recruitable character, insanely OP and one of the two true S-tier right off the bat just feels wrong.
I always felt that the last recruit in a Suikoden should be impactful in some way to the story but Leene making her third appearance and saving the day doesn't come as close to Gremio being resurrected or Euram (if you didn't chose to get Eresh instead) having his redemption. I also usually don't mind OP characters, but she can't hold a candle to Georg or Zerase.

Seriously they made such a deal about her acting like she was going to be some amazing important character but she shows up twice, says I'M LUCKY! before fucking off and she doesn't actually contribute anything. She offers no information, she has no connection to any mystery (not that there any) and instead of having a connection to her brother or her town or anything she just.... I can't even put into words how awful this shit is. She and so many characters like her are just WACKY but barely existing outside that. Like I'm not sure how to really fix this, but maybe if they just combined her and Lian into one character. Have Lian be Nowa's sister who's slightly older which is why she has that I'M YOUR SENIOR shtick. Then something bad can happen to her and your full recruit reward is to undo the bad thing. This shit just made me angry in ways I don't think I've ever felt towards a story.

>>3492272
Yeah, I agree, jesus, but that isn't the point here. OP wants a demon RPG, and probably not one made by 2 CS dropouts.

There's been demon RPGs forever. Censorship and pearl clutching has nothing to do with it being rare. It's just a very specific fetish.

>>3492244
>It's difficult to play these days though for sure
Maybe the SNES original due to its not stellar translation, but the game itself is totally fine and the translations on GBA and PS1 are better. Hell I started with SMT1 and found it to be a great introduction to first person dungeon crawling.

>>3492283
>It's just a very specific fetish.
I think wanting to play a game about demons and not "the power of friendship" or "the power of homosex" is actually a very common desire.

>>3492290
Yeah, Diablo is p. popular.

? Play better turn-based games desu

>>3490465
None of the games with stagger makes an entire mechanic meaningless unless enemies are staggered, which is my point of contention. If you want to make it so that enemies are more susceptible to ailments when staggered, then that's fine by me.
Bar systems generally work better for ARPGs because those games are fundamentally different to that of a turn based system.
>>3490473
Unless the target has some sort of negative response when statused, you're going to want to apply any viable status ailments that can cripple it as soon as possible. For the very obvious reason of, the less actions that the boss can take, the less time you need to spend healing and can focus on getting rid of the boss.

>>3487964
Either don't allow the player to heal and force him to actually defend or interrupt enemy attacks, or allow the boss to also heal himself to punish the player if he's being too passive and force him to take risks to win.

Either way, the key is forcing the player to use limited resources the best he can.

DCSS : make healing fucking expensive (piety system from gods), healing consumable is very rare
Triangle Strategy : Instead of mana bar, skills use TP that accumulate every turn, capped at 3 TP max. This limits healing / skill spam.
Other games I don't remember : Just remove healing spells and items.

I like Triangle Strategy's system the best.

Let each character take multiple actions each turn, and give actions cooldowns, both "every X turns" and "X times per turn".
This gives more depth and makes setting up buffs/debuffs more valuable when they don't cost you a whole turn.

Limit healing by either reducing part of max HP by a percentage of damage taken (with skills that can increase this), or reducing healing received every time you heal.

the space ship building and fighting is great, but there isn't enough of it to justify the work. i really want to build a star destroyer with a bunch of auto turrets and fly into the kryx system to blow everything up, but I just tried it in a small ship with only a couple of turrets and it worked, and then you can't blow up the station itself. I enjoyed this base building way more than fallout 4 because there's an actual point to it, generating resources so you can build more. the problem is there isn't enough of a reason to build, because the point is to start over anyways.

when BCI's and AI reach video games, this is going to be everyone's favorite one.

Starfield would be better if instead of Skyrim in Space it was just a game where you build heavily customizeable ships and lead space pirate raids...

The worst part is that with the death of Mass Effect a decade ago a Space based RPG would be perfect for the market. Starfield SHOULD have been a gigantic hit because even if it was just a flawed but playable game like FO4 it would have fit a niche people desperately wanted

>>3492020
>Starfield SHOULD have been a gigantic hit
I disagree, scifi doesn't seem popular at all right now. I also believe ME's popularity came from the choices and companions, the social aspects, kinda like BG3. Less to do with the setting, really.

So a space sandbox without the space opera shit.. no wonder it didn't light fires.
