Does anyone else just really really like tile-based movement? I just like playing games with tiles more than games without it. I'm actually sad the upcoming DQ remakes won't have tiles like the originals

I like free movement but in tile based maps, if that makes sense.
>>
>>3507174
Yes, they can really increase the pace of games like gold box or old might and magic letting you blast through the gameworld at super speed with no delay between steps. Outside of first person it's part of how roguelikes can play so fast.

"New retro" games and jrpgs often fuck this up by having annoying delays between steps and facing changes

This is why I have taken to the theory that any way you can save your player time by cutting out long/pointless transitions and animations should always be done. Especially in games where tasks like movement from point A to point B is something that will likely be done over and over and over again.

>Are you only into JRPGs? Is this on PC? Turn-based or action? Are you cool with SNES games or want something newer?
Any RPG is fine. PC. Turn-based. Only something newer because the old games are really clunky and most of the UI sucks and hard to navigate..

I'll be honest, I rarely play games from the last 15 years so I'm not really that up to date.
But, my recommendation from what I've heard on here is one of the Atelier games. Maybe a Trails game but I think they have lots of endless dialog.

Do you think the term "JRPG" is discriminatory?
I like JRPGs more in general because they're easier to play and more streamlined than their western counterparts, but they also completely disregard the "role-playing" part of the genre.

Story spoilers don't ruin stories, if anything they enhance it. This is proven scientifically doi:10.1177/0956797611417007

If you stop yourself playing something just because of a spoiler its literally a you problem. Get a better attitude about it and realize like other anons have said, that its about the journey not the destination.

Just like with all other things, if you can't enjoy something even after being spoiled that thing probably wasn't that good in the first place.
This is especially true for videogames because the gameplay should carry the game far beyond the story regardless.

Hello Sir!
ESL-kun, you’re making a casual mistake. When you separate words with slashes like that, you shouldn’t add a space after the slash. Consider it as if the slash is taking the place of the space in your sentence!
Now you can improve your shitposting to the level of an American pre-teen! Enjoy.

Even the stupidly petty gods don't micromanage to that extent. If they are pissed with what you're doing to the point that they want to intervene, they'll either communicate it to you in some way or simply not grant you spells so that you come groveling like the ass slave that you are.

For PC it shouldn't be so hard if you're used to making GUIs, because you can reuse lots of code and data structures between the game and the editor: for example, if the editor uses JSON to deal with map data, you can reuse the same JSON parser to read map data inside the game.
For retro platforms it's harder because with them you don't have file systems, you don't have enough ROM and RAM, etc. so you can't share too much code/data between the editor and the game.
In my case, the editor deals with map data in JSON format, but it is exported to the game as a custom compressed bytecode format.

Hey everyone,

I've been diving into a lot of recent game releases lately, and I can't help but feel a growing sense of disappointment with the direction modern games are taking. So, I decided to revisit The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and it was like a breath of fresh air.

First off, Skyrim's world is incredibly immersive and detailed. Every corner of the map holds something intriguing, from hidden caves to bustling towns. Unlike many modern games that lead us by the hand, Skyrim encourages true exploration and adventure. Then there's the modding community, which is unparalleled. The community has kept the game fresh and exciting with countless mods that add new quests, characters, and even entire landmasses. Modern games, with their closed ecosystems and minimal mod support, simply can't compete with this level of customization and player-driven content.

The story and lore in Skyrim are deep and engaging. The game is filled with rich narratives, fascinating characters, and a history that feels real and significant. Many modern games seem to prioritize graphics and online multiplayer over a compelling single-player experience, which is a shame. Speaking of single-player, Skyrim is a game that respects the single-player experience. In an era where many games are pushing towards online multiplayer and games-as-a-service models, Skyrim stands out as a game that values the solitary adventurer, allowing for a personal and immersive journey.

You are overselling the game now but i like Skyrim and its one of the best open world games ever made, the gameplay of Skyrim is far better than any JRPG i have played because its interactive, fun and varied.
I genuinely think Skyrim is a good game and way better than most of the games /v/ dickrides.

With that said I had some gripes with the game particularly with its dialogue. I believe its the weakest aspect about it.

It is, but there's no appeal to contrarians who despise pop culture. If it was somehow niche, it would get more favorable views here. As it is, liking Skyrim doesn't make you feel special or stand out.

How much foreshadowing in an rpg is too much?
This is not a fallout 2 or even fallout in general thread, I'm purely using it as an example because Cameron foreshadows the final encounter of the game where you pass a speech check to avoid fighting him and he says something to the effect of, "remember, you can't talk your way out of everything, sometimes you have to fight"

Oof. I think Aquaplus can make a good series out of Dungeon Travelers. They got Sting with them too who does good job in the gameplay mechanics.

Squeenix and other Japanese studios are reporting historically massive losses while Falcom is posting record sales and profits. Really makes you think, huh?
