What CRPGs are we excited for this year? MENACE? Mystic Land? Thaumaturge? SKALD? Monomyth? New Arc Line? ...Something else?
There's too many games to play to pay attention to games that aren't out.
>>3406870I've already played them all.
>unrelated anime girl OP>CRPG trannyTale as old as timeYou think you're cool because you play neckbeard games and post anime but oh, yeah I don't do JRPGs? I bet you do. We should have wiped your kind out in the 2010s
>>3406879>Frogposter complaining about Anime on an Anime website
>>3406874Improbable, and unhealthy if even close to true. Try playing more than just RPGs or perhaps develop a hobby outside of gaming.
>>3406879>We should have wiped your kind out in the 2010sI'll kick your ass any time, anywhere. Name the place, coward.
>>3406881This is a manga website now. Anime died.
>>3406860Mostly New Arc Line, but SKALD does look cool. Swordhaven too, but I don't think that'll be this year.
>>3406885On top of Asahi-Dake in Hokkaido during the dead of winter.
>>3406885Right here and now. There's a reason that WRPG > JRPG false discourse died off, its because your entire pathetic race roped. I'll take you out and finally save JRPG fans from animeposters who post about warpigs. No one else will be corrupted even if it costs me my life.
>>3406860Bloodlines 2. I don't expect it to be good, but I am very much looking forward to getting it over with.
>>3406895
>>3406892I'll be there, punk.
>>3406897Boy I sure hope you're not going to actually pay for that.
>>3406900I'll probably buy it, play 1:45 of it, leave negative review, and ask for a refund.
>>3406860She is overdressed.
>>3406897>the only rpg I'm looking forward to is the one I can be offended by and cry aboutThe sequel vtmb fans deserve!
>>3406916Some will enjoy the failure and all the "discussion" it generates.
>>3406916Try to look at the big picture here - if it flops hard enough, Paradox may feel incentivized to sell World of Darkness license to somebody else, which would mean a chance (certainly not a guarantee, but even chance is good) of getting some decent game further down the line.
>>3406928This is nintoddler tier reasoning
By the way, thaumaturge releases March 4, so soon.https://youtu.be/vmBvGjEqmk8?si=L5CB_18CJbyGQeXn
>>3406969>level scaling>micro transactions>always online>pozzed story/charactersPlease tell me it has none of the above
>>3406991Not to my knowledge.Straight gameplay:https://youtu.be/cbh17n2unV4?si=0Xgx4Bz_Ne6eZgL4Full disclosure, I'm actually not particularly a fan of the dev's work, so probably the wrong guy to ask, but there is an above average amount of eyes on the game so worth mentioning all the same.
>>3406999That female ghost monologue at the very beginning was lame af. I expected his ghost to be some funny old dude eccentric grandfather type character. My interest in this game has decreased substantially.
>>3407016You sound like exactly the type of IQ range this game is aiming for.
>>3407059You sound lame just like that ghost character in the game.
https://youtu.be/l54v7wvWfSk?si=CjZly4xRghtB2LN3This one looks interesting.
>>3406860>Shadow of the Erd Tree>Dragons Dogma II>Skald>Greedfall II>Sword Haven>Citizen Sleeper IIAnd there's still a few that I'm waiting to come out of early access or get a GotY addition of >Lies of P>Rogue Trader>Stone Shard>Tainted Grail>BGIII>Book of Travels>Dread DelusionSeriously, the last few years have been good.
>>3406879lol is this bait or retardation? Is this what happens when you play to many Jrpgs?
>>3406969>>3406999Is this Polish SMT? Looks pretty cool, what's the catch?
>>3409254>what's the catch?Well anonz you'll just have to play it to find out.
>>3409256I got a deal on it, considering biting the bullet so I can tell you just how pozzed it is. Did someone beat me to the punch?
>>3412734it's a slavjank, so it shouldn't be pozzed all that much
>>3412736Maybe actually play it
>>3412742I looked up a few online reviews and turns out they don't have Polish audio despite this being a Polish game, there's a woman overthrowing the patriarchy, lore "stink of misogyny" and there's plenty of jewish stuff in it (although considering the time and place, makes sense at least). Going to skip.
>>3412744But slavjank is epic and redpilled bro
>>3412757Then it's not slavjank. It's just slav.
>>3412766I fail to see how this game is any more "pozzed" than anything else eastern euros have pooped out
>>3412770Unless you've played and can confirm otherwise, I can easily see it being way more pozzed than royal slavjank the likes of Stalker.
A Roman themed dungeon crawler released todayhttps://youtu.be/7nwiTm4Tb6g?si=nbcrykuZoWIK_Mvk
>>3412862Played this for about 2 hours so far. Its decent, reminds me of elminage specifically. Definitely recommend if that's your thing. Will come back to it after finishing the games I am currently playing through.
>>3406860I'm not going to play any of these. I will just play the same 3 games over and over.
>>3406860cute snail
Yet another new release. This time a turn-based isometric game, Zoria.https://youtu.be/F5c2JsKGglM?si=Suq-KJ3hKboK6wSN
Stolen Realm finally leaves early access today.https://youtu.be/27tDi9wTlz8?si=ypNH8vHR5arzwlgf
>>3406860When the hell is SKALD releasing? I loved the demo but that was years ago.
>>3414798Q2 2024
>>3406860New Arc Line looks interesting but every time I hear "story rich" I get worried. That's like the worst buzzword you can put on your game.
For those of you interested in ARPGs, you can now request access to the playtest for Drova on Steam.https://youtu.be/iOk_wLuXhjg?si=DDaILm_UHMR0Gz9phttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1585180/Drova__Forsaken_Kin/
Speaking of ARPGs, a new hour and a half gameplay preview for No Rest For the Wicked, which releases on April 18.https://youtu.be/66SnDxocR88?si=n8iKsAG4JFJ6ygTx
>>3415790This actually looks like it could be really good. I am definitely gunna play this one.
>>3415790Nice graphics but gameplay does not feel rpg at all
>>3416063Its isometric dork souls. The guys who made Ori are making it.
The Night Wanderer has been announced, a soulslike RPG based on Polish fantasy novels looking to emulate The Witcher's success.https://youtu.be/2dlg1jfbvuo?si=ZC7M1G6ZeOVzqS76
Dawnsbury Days has released today, a 2D turn based tactical game based on the PF2E ruleset.https://youtu.be/rN1AenHjBs0?si=3u3PWPInsPFBSDR4
>>3416735Why can't owlcat make combat like this?
>>3416728>a soulslikeInto the trash
>>3416735Not a fan of pathfinder 2e but this game has a supposedly robust module editor so going to give it a look. I will always support more accurate tabletop systems in CRPGs.
>>3416744>>3416768I played the first game the dev made, which was a glorified tech demo of this, and it was actually quite promising. Firing the game up now.
>>3416782Okay, update. I really like this game. There are 22 encounters in total, with 4 difficulties to choose from. I am playing on Hard, which is enough to have to pay a reasonable amount of attention, (the first boss encounter is no joke) enemies will happily run up and one shot your caster, but I think I will give it another play on Insane with custom characters after. I was worried this would be phoned in like Low Magic Age, but its not. The AI isn't completely braindead. You have to properly utilize debuffs and positioning to hit things, and the geometry of the fields of battle and the enemies within is designed with care. Between each battle you have a short or long rest and distribute loot from the previous encounter. The campaign is fully voiced, the writing is hammy and I like it. I really, really like this. This game is a huge win. Please play this.
>>3416820One last thing I'd like to add. If you like KotC2, but want something that feels like it wasn't designed by a crazy and malicious DM, this is roughly in that ballpark.
>>3416735>>3416820How did codex miss this?
>>3406879>Frogtranny talking about unrelated images>We should have wiped your kind out in the 2010sYou should wipe yourself out or just fuck off to where you came from
>>3416824Its not chud approved, sorry bro.
The stuff this game is capable of is really intriguing. For example, in this encounter the party is trapped in a room with magical pillars that slowly heat it up like an oven and do damage. There are 4 locks on the main door and the party must find the corresponding keys to escape by using the Seek function. This allows them to distinguish mimics from chests and find hidden passages. To open a chest or use a key a character must stow their weapon, so the action economy is really interesting here. It is continuing to impress me.
It's gunna be a good year for CRPGs.
>>3416735I'm playing it now and it's actually hilarious that this is way more fun than Kingmaker or WotR. Despite being gimped 2e it's actually more tacticool than those games. I wonder if paizo will give this some spotlight. This is great.
About 2/3s of the way through the game. These fights are pretty slick, each one is something new so far. Scrolls are very useful as well. Also, fucking hilarious that the leader of this town full of anime characters is Ragnar Lodbrok for some reason.
>>3416735Its sort of crazy there aren't more games like this when you look at how big this sort of thing is for wargames.
Release date for Dream Tactics, a " GBA-styled strategy RPG" developed in Canada, has been announced for April 15, 2024.https://youtu.be/ybh6OCQyqJo?si=GjjRzgpayXVbKuHo
>>3416735This game is fucking sick.
Still going. The Seek mechanics introduced earlier are then used to spot later enemies which hide or use invisibility. Eventually the party finds themselves at the bottom of the ocean with a water breathing spell, which takes on the special properties of aquatic combat (flat-footed, difficult terrain, penalty to swinging attacks, fire spells don't work) and you can use movement elixers to help mitigate these effects a bit. A lot of attention to detail, its neat.
>>3417179Almost forgot, PF2e is pretty damn easy to understand for anyone that's curious, and this game feels like a nice little interactive tutorial for the ruleset if you are unfamiliar with it.
Finished the main campaign, it was great fun. Also, tried out the extreme++ difficulty great serpent bonus scenario with a custom strategist, which was pretty tricky. I would kill for like a 100 hour campaign of what this game is, its like EXACTLY what I want from a CRPG, in the combat department anyways. A shame its so short.
>>3416735What engine did this man use? I could do with something like this, its Very Fun
>>3417348>What engine did this man useIt appears to be made mostly from scratch. I also appreciated that the dev proudly stated they used no AI assistance whatsoever in the credits.
Okay, so far this year we have the best pathfinder game ever made and it's only March.
>>3406860I'm pretty hopeful for SKALD, but we'll see how it shapes up. Don't wanna get too hyped just yet. The old demo was promising.
Hmm I like jrpgs
>>3417694Too bad jrpg fans are too incompetent to make a thread like this
I would KILL for a crpg styled shin megami tensei game.
>>3417704So wizardry 7 but with less mechanics
>>3417704The world is ok but anime style characters are horrible
At least 3 more RPGs set to release this week.
>>3416735It's sort of nice to have a low level adventure for once where you aren't just melting things with death beams. This was pretty enjoyable, sucks it's so short. PF2e is surprisingly really good for video games.
Good thread.
>>3416735Is there any game like this that uses OD&D or B/X or AD&D ruleset? And that emphasizes Dungeon crawling as well.
>>3418255>Is there any game like this that uses OD&D or B/X or AD&D ruleset?Gold Box I guess, not sure if its gunna be like you imagine it though.
>>3418262I love Gold Box games, what Im exactly looking for is something similar to these games.
>>3416735being 2e already makes it better than Owlcat pathfinder. might check it out
>>3418268Best I can do is OGL 1e/2e.https://youtu.be/_jeNST-QJy4?si=4M4cx0-jODb52Kiihttps://youtu.be/3XbqulXPDGE?si=iS716gnkfviq92JW
>>3418299Completo underelated, but In what engine are these games made?
>>3418379Completely unrelated*God, im sleepy, excuse me
>>3418379Both of those are made in Unity if I remember correctly.

>>3420278It could have been cool if they leaned into traditional bleak British visions of post-apo akin to Threads or When the Wind Blows instead of making it just another quirky theme park with recognizable landmarks.
>>3420310That would require actual effort.

Not really news, but Vogel, an outspoken developer responsible for geneforge that I find fascinating, is dissecting bg3.https://bottomfeeder.substack.com/p/picking-apart-baldurs-gate-3-partInteresting stuff here imo
>>3427801A decent read, thanks for posting. Nothing *that* cool in there though. Didn't know he was such a meme aficionado.This was perhaps the most interesting part:>Yes, BG3 has like a million words in it and tons and tons of voice acting, but which ones you see depends on the choices you make. However, you won't encounter that many words in one playthrough.>This game conveys a lot of storytelling in a very efficient way, without excess verbiage. This is not easy! Telling a story with a ton of words? That's easy. Editing it down so that it's very dense and tight and respects your time but still has the full effect? That takes a lot of work.I have a slightly different view: you don't necessarily have to cater to half-illiterates affected by adhd, but usually the more writing for the player to read you have the better its quality should be. For example both PoEs suffer from excess verbiage (pun intended) that is not justified by its quality. But I did not mind as much reading the walls of text that were pst or DE.

Gameplay trailer for FADE, which was recently added to kickstarter, which lists Dark Souls, Fable, and Full Metal Alchemist as it's inspirations.https://youtu.be/cz8xUcCMP_0?si=KZx6MAk-MglNcsjx
>>3427801>easily one of the best computer RPGs ever madeStopped reading there
>>3428243The master has spoken, chud.
>>3427814>but usually the more writing for the player to read you have the better its quality should be.This. A game with shit writing but that’s trying to tell a detailed narrative and is riding on the backs of unlikeable characters is a lot more obnoxious than a game with mediocre writing and shallow characters that just gets out of the way and doesn’t try to carry the game with them.
>>3427801The big take away here, which I think some people on this board could do to acknowledge, is the examples given of how BG has breathed new life into the genre thrice now, and in turn enabled developers such as Vogel to thrive.
>>3427801>>3428243I sometimes feel like I'm living in a clown world with the amount of praise I see BG3 get. I just felt like it was very above average. Flashy and high production values sure, but the substance just felt lacking and the writing and characters were grating, which is now good for a party-driven RPG. I want to call it an RPG for people who are not fans of RPG's, but then people like Vogel heap praise upon it and I realise my tastes are so niche I'll never be the target audience for anything anymore.
>>3427801A washed out developer with one claim to fame throughout his whole career trying to be hip and cool and trendy with zoomers as an ad for his new game which is in fact his aforementioned one and only successful game sold a second time.>Honestly, Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't do anything truly new. It's a game where quantity has a quality all its own. This game does what has been done before at an unprecedented scale, level of detail, quality, fun, and just plain style. It's good, it's BIG, and the quality continues the whole way through.Verifiably untrue. Act III is nigh unplayable from technical standpoint, Act II has countably less exploration than I.>One of the things that makes BG3 work is it has a really good story, and it tells it well. Can't wait to see him try to back up this ridiculous claim.>First, it has a great hook. You start with mind-control worms in your head that give you powers but will kill you soon. Instantly compelling and full of urgency and mystery, in the first few minutes of the game.>Second, the pacing is good, which is key in a lore-heavy game like this. In Act 1, it dumps you into a very simple world with very simple factions and forces you to make high-stakes decisions about them.The urgency in first line fights against you wanting to get involved with stuff in second line. You either try to skip most of the game, as some retards online admitted to do, or, more likely, you forget about the apparent "urgency" in fighting a cure, and thus the the first crack in player's immersion appears.>Fourth, once you're past the intro, you learn of the existence of the Head Bad Guy. No, you fucking don't. At that point you're not sure the Absolute exists (and it technically doesn't), and think the BBEG is the cult leader, which the writers want to be a red herring. So he could've rightly praised the writing here, but didn't know to.
>>3428327 cont.>Third, the characters immediately start trying to have sex with you. Very attention-grabbing.>Fifth, your companions are interesting people, funny, flawed, and charming in equal measure.You can tell he struggled to say anything good about the companions, beyond the most bland generalities.>More importantly, they immediately start making demands of you.Gale does. Technically Lae'zel does too but if you try to acquiesce her, you first go through brutal for level 2 characters encounters to be greeted by an immersion-brekaing prompt that the next area is for high-level chars, so you turn back with her bitching away.>Like, you need their help, but they immediately make it clear they won't fight for free. Another example of giving interesting choices early only.No, they don't. Not even Gale. He takes his time until he starts asking for items.>What really impresses me about this is that while BG3's story is really involving, you never actually see that many words.>However, let's be honest ... In 2024, a game with a ton of reading can do well, but it won't be a megahit.Who gives a shit. If you want to make a megahit go make an addicting mobile game for boomers.>muh actorsYes, they help make up for lack of any good story or characterization for the average glue sniffer. This isn't storytelling.>muh unionsPandering to caviar socialist zoomers.>That's the storytelling aspect of it.To sum up, he barely started saying anything about storytelling, most of it false or generalities and then he finished.
>>3428327You should post this on his blog, tough guy.

>>3430692I am very excited for this one.
>>3430740Me too, it looks incredible, but I try to just post the news as is.
>>3428402They already started both, but couldn't make it profitable, hence they switched to new ips.
>>3430735Its the Dark Souls 2 of souls clones.
>>3428286>>3428243Delusional/dishonest.
>>3406886Based if true.
>>3430780Ds2 had at least few great bosses.Aldia and his brother were great npcs, the winter dlc had a good story, too.
>>3429899Cringe, also graphics look too good to be true>>3429901Terrible but that body switching from physical to something else is quite an interesting mechanic, it might have potential if they make one hit guaranteed death and the only to avoid it is to dodge or become temporary non physical>>3430692Saw this already, below average.
is this thread trying to depress people about how bad this year will be for rpgs? it's just a year, downturns happen.
>>3431596>below average.compared to what, there is nothing like this
>>3431599If he wanted to depress people he'd be posting JRPG news. (surprise: its all gacha shit and movie games)
>>3431606I am new to jrpgs, what's a gacha (shit) ?
>>3431610its a digital pachinko machine where you pay real money for jpgs of naked cartoons
>>3431606this implies that those who still play jrpgs are people
>>3431615>its a digital pachinko machine where you pay real money for jpgs of naked cartoonsI understand the words but I am not really getting what you're saying
>>3431661Gacha derives from gachapon, which is the nippon word for those little prize-in-a-ball machines that used to be everywhere.Gacha games are free to play live service mmo whatevers, where instead of a normal cash shop you pay for spins on the gambling machine which spits out random playable characters, gear and upgrade materials.
>>3431599What the hell is even depressing here? OP asked for upcoming games and got them, some good some bad.
>>3428429Damn, Vogel is based.
>>3431694lol
>>3428375>no expansions>official mod tools will be barebones>Larian wants to completely wash their hands of D&D and Wizards of the CoastSucks that they don't really wanna release extensive mod tools, or at least give us an Icewind Dale 3. Can their next project be reviving Divinity: Fallen Heroes?
>>3430744>couldn't make it profitablehow so
>>3431717He's just making shit up.
>>3428375I'm glad they are doing their own thing for the next game, but I'm really surprised that they aren't making an expansion for BG3.I didn't really want one, but it feel like standard practice nowadays, I was just expecting to see one be announced one day.
>>3431712>Can their next project be reviving Divinity: Fallen Heroes?I feel like they might be burnt out on Divinity.besides BG3 Divinity games are the only games they have worked on since 1997.There aren't even cancelled non-Divinity games.
>>3431732>besides BG3 Divinity gamesBesides BG3, Divinity gamesI reread it, and it really needs that comma.
>>3430631link?
Official gameplay trailer for Legends of the Round Table, an Arthurian RPG.https://youtu.be/fMX697WEDHU?si=nikFo-tk1dV03bY_
>>3431737Vincke's Twitter profile location says "Edge of Space". Additionally:>Vincke says the next game won't be Divinity: Original Sin 3, and that it will be "different than what you think it is" but that it's "still familiar." Elsewhere, Vincke said that the new project will "dwarf" the scope of Baldur's Gate 3, which would be quite impressive given the scope of that game.https://www.ign.com/articles/larian-started-work-on-baldurs-gate-3-dlc-then-canceled-it-the-studio-was-elatedSo no definitive answers, but familiar implies another Divinity Engine turn based RPG, with a new IP, or at least a new chapter in the Divinity series.
>>3432057>Vincke said that the new project will "dwarf" the scope of Baldur's Gate 3If that turns out to be true, it might actually be the biggest game ever.
>>3432057I'd prefer they make a smaller game. Bigger is not better.
>>3432560Your mom disagrees.
>>3432567So?
>>3432572I was merely informing you.
>>3432584My mom likes Fallout 4, I really don't give a shit what she thinks about RPGs.
>>3432588>My mom likes Fallout 4You are completely correct to ignore her opinion on RPGs.
>>3432057Isn't it all but confirmed it's gonna be scifi/fantasy-scifi
>>3432560If they keep knocking bigger games out of the park I prefer they continue to btfo all these shitty AAA companies like bethesda and capcom.
>>3432664It'd be nice to play a game in less than 10 years.
>>3432668You can play all the cool games posted in this thread. :)
>>3432669Wee...
>>3432671If you ain't playin legends of the round you can get the FUCK out
>>3432675We'll see about it if I'm alive when it comes out.
>>3422743how do you know he saved it on his pc
>>3416931Ya sadly 1e just ain't particularly tactical and the way Owlcat adapted the ruleset really only catches the char building autism part of the system's appeal and nothing else. Rogue Trader did show they can make a fun skirmish-y tactical game though, which just makes me mad that DnD 4e's OGL forever fucked it out of having a CRPG adaptation despite being being the system best suited for it.
>>3433196>Rogue Trader did show they can make a fun skirmish-y tactical game thoughBut the encounter design in that game was awful.
>>3433197Their encounter design was always shit, but the system's adaptation itself is fun.
>>3433203The system is worse than the table top version, which was already bad, and they house ruled it to have more numbers go up and buff stacking retardation. Owlcat cannot design combat. Their games are the polar opposite of a combat fag game. They have more in common with bad jrpgs than tactical crpgs.
>>3433210>more numbers go up and buff stacking retardationThey know their market.
>>3433223Retarded slavs?
>>3433228Retards who believe they're smart, yes. You don't reed to restrict your market to east Europe. 3e D&D was designed for that kind of people and they'll adapt any other system to work in a similar way (obvious trap options and tedious stacking).
>>3433230You're conflating PF1e with 3e, which are not the same animal.
>>3433234I'm just paraphrasing Monte Cook, you know, the 3e D&D designer. WotC wanted a game like that to sell supplements with the good (prestige) classes and feats to dumb minmaxers. You can google "ivory tower design" if you want to read more about it.
>>3433239Ivory tower design is just making a system of situational tools and letting players figure out their applications on their own. The article in question is frequently misquoted and if you actually read it you'll see they designed the game not with trap choices, but instead made sure each feat has specific applications which are not always spelled out, and the author muses that it might have been better if he had held the player's hand more. Owlcat games do NOT work like this, and generally are set up so you have a checklist of insanely good feats there's no chance you can miss padded out with many bad optional feats to fill in the gaps where you're actual choices will be loaded into picking the least bad option.
>>3433239Laugh at this midwit who believed Monte Cuck's after-the-fact excuses for the failures of WotC. It thinks it's intelligent.
Monsters of Mican released on Steam today.https://youtu.be/_ceGbLerEzM?si=dhHf06J7QoAlPaJk
>>3406897>>3406928this
>>3433259why don't you just link the steam page? i hate these retarded trailers.
>>3433260>direct actionJust send someone to block it, duh.
>>3433259lol
>>3433261I don't like endorsing storefronts. Something I have noticed on OTHER sites is that third worlders will use GOG's affiliate system to earn money by dishonestly presenting games and trying to entice people to use the links, so rather than choose one store over the other I will pick neither unless there's something exclusive like a closed beta.
>>3433274people are immediately going to google the name anyway and check it on steam. who wants to watch a poorly made trailer by some retarded developer and shit up their youtube recommendations with other shovelware trailers? you could also just list more than one, do whatever though, newsbot.
>>3433280>shit up their youtube recommendationsThis genuinely made me lol
>>3433285ah, that gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. making a sperg laugh is an accomplishment to be proud of.

New DLC for Suzerain, a political text-based RPG.https://youtu.be/HtCkgBhml74?si=VghCz5Hv2FN3b62I
>>3434190How is the writing?
>>3434208It's not a book.
>>3434285I see... it must be shit then
>>3434317It's about politics, of course it's shit.
>>3434046not every crpg is based on dorks and dice rolling
>>3434339They kinda are, if not directly. D&D is the root of all cRPGs.
>>3434208People seem to enjoy the writing.
This thread reminds me of looking at the RPG Codex years ago and they had that one dude constantly posting about any little game or DLC that might be coming out despite hardly anyone showing interest in any of it.
>>3434344>This thread reminds me of looking at the RPG Codex years agoGood.
>>3406860This thread is starting to make shitposters butthurt. Guess no one can say RPGs are dead or there's nothing to play now.
>>3434352No one ever says that anymore. Steam changed everything, now there are more RPGs than you would ever want to play, just most of them are garbage.
>>3434353How would you know if you don't play anything
>>3434355I think you hacked the wrong webcam, avatarfag.
>>3434344I know long term planning is something outside of the typical shitskin's realm of understanding, but endeavors such as these generally yield great fruits over the long term.
>>3434344>This thread reminds me of looking at the RPG Codex years ago and they had that one dude constantly posting about any little game or DLCYou mean the only reason Codex ever got popular in the first place?
>>3434358So it's a containment thread for tards who can't go on Steam and use their features to find new and upcoming games for themselves? Carry on.
>>3434362Nah, this was right before they started going to shit, it was the dude who had a Melnorme avatar.
>>3434364Codex was always shit, the appeal it used to hold was that it was a place to get information on niche games. No one is going there to read retarded slavs crying about politics.
>>3406860>MonomythIt looks like an oblivion mod from 2010.
>>3432544Jesus, they’re making their own Starfield?

>>3434508
>>3434514yes, action game.
>>3434517Says RPG right there
>>3434518so? it's made by bethtards, they have no idea what an rpg is.
>>3434520>it's made by bethtards>An immersive, first-person dungeon crawling RPG in the vein of Ultima Underworld, Arx Fatalis, and the King’s Field series.
>>3434521dark messiah isn't an rpg either. face it, these guys are those you'd mock elsewhere.
>>3434522They didn't list Dark Messiah. What's with the catty passive aggressive posts? Did your boyfriend stop giving you your daily asspounding or something?
great crpg thread, lol. totally not scraping the barrel.
>>3434525>Did your boyfriend stop giving you your daily asspounding or something?Yes.
>>3434525i'm directly mocking this game. am i being too passive aggressive? how about this: looks like garbage, not an rpg, and you are a retard.
>>3434528I'm sure you can find a new boyfriend if you lighten up a little. Perhaps you ought to sip on some warm tea with honey.
>spastic whining>every bethesda thread gets bumpedJewish behavior.
>>3434529my fervent hope is that you get better taste and provide actually interesting crpg entries to this thread. good ruck.
>>3434533Okay bye. See you tomorrow.
>>3434532>starts inventing theoriesyou really need to stop doing that. what if you really start to lose it in your old age.
>>3434533I'm sure you're playing some excellent crpgs right now.
>>3434539yep, kotc
>>3434541Post progress, I have like 200 hours in kotc2.
>>3434542i'm replaying the first one, just started yesterday.
>>3434553>kotc1If you were paying attention in the thread you would have picked up on Dawnsbury Days, as if you liked one you'll surely like the other.
>>3434567hmm, i'll try their other game first. seems it's free. i really don't like to play games that haven't been out a good while with how devs like to continue to add to them after release.
>>3434571>hmm, i'll try their other game firstThe other game is just a demo for that game. It's the first act of the campaign.
>>3434572then i'll just let it simmer for a few months, seems they are constantly updating.
>>3434573The game is complete, but you're never going to play it anyways.
>>3434576they just added a whole new class a week ago and they have updates every day. patience grasshopper, it ain't going anywhere.
>>3434578No, you come into this thread and bitch and complain there isn't any games and when you are given one you make up an excuse. You're just a shitposter who doesn't play anything lol
>>3434579yes, i haven't played a video game since 1994. tell me more about fp action games and platformers.
>>3434573>spend hours posting in the thread and you weren't remotely interested in playing a new gameWhat the hell is wrong with you?

The demo for Swordhaven, from the atom rpg team, is now available on steam.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2108180/Swordhaven_Iron_Conspiracy/
>>3434595Ran around killing things with a bow for like 30 minutes. Not sure if I'm crazy about the combat or map design, there is A LOT of dialogue skill checks however.
>>3434627It just seems like fantasy Atom. (fallout with swords)
>>3434627The game is okay, nothing about it really stands out to me. Could be good, could be another piece of shit to cash in on slav paypigs.
>>3435297why?
>>3435334With such banal and generic criticism, it sounds good. Thanks.
>>3435345No, I'll play it, but I won't inform you tards about it.
>>3435515Just watched the gameplay trailer, dialogue was so shit.
>>3435801There was dialogue?
>>3435804Yeah, there is village and the character can speak to the villagers
>>3435805This?https://youtu.be/kRlYrDKvNaI?si=SZ0Hhr-27Efn5z4X
>>3435807https://youtube.com/watch?v=mpi4cQfLT98
>>3435818>can't timestamp a livestreamUgh, well, I found some at like 40 minutes in and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be honestly. Its about on par with Oblivion or something else equally mediocre, I had assumed NPCs were just mindless drones that dispensed random quests or functioned like Mount and Blade soldiers.
>>343582118:55
>>3435827Whats the problem? This seems pretty good.
Outward 2 preview with IGN.https://youtu.be/Jb_Ov2nXtKU?si=ko3Jj9IKeB5d_VKz
>>3435831No, the main character sounds extremely lame and generic, literal npc tier questions and responses. People in countryside do not speak like that, see related webm(with sound), I imagine people during middle ages had even more colorful language and expressions.https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1711588793884742.webm
>>3435845I'm pretty sure that behavior is a modern phenomena and a product of the insane dystopia yuropoors live in.
>>3435845>countryside>just back to back buildings as far as the eye can seewhat lol
>>3435850A town in countryside. Yes that is still countryside.>>3435849That webm has soul. A genuine English spirit.
>>3435854Those are low IQ tykes (redundant). They are absolute plebs and in no way represent a 'genuine English spirit'.
>>3435878The game in question >>3435818 literally features medieval villagers, in other words absolute plebs.
>>3435854It's not exactly Shakespeare, my dude. The dialogue seems on par with Mount and Blade in terms of role-playing. It's a survival game first and an RPG second.

>>3439543>Witchmarsh: Tea Party of the Damned is a short, party-based RPG set in the 1920s. Players create a team of investigators and lead them through a subterranean mega-dungeon, hidden beneath the streets of Jazz Age New England.
>>3439547>>Witchmarsh: Tea Party of the Damned is a short, party-based [...] set in the 1920s. Players create a team of investigators and lead them through a subterranean mega-dungeon, hidden beneath the streets of Jazz Age New EnglandAfter watching the trailer and reading that description I can safely say that is retro side scrolling shooter.
>>3439549The branching dialogue and stats already makes it more of an rpg than literally any game on the first page of the catalog right now.
>>3439549This guys isn't actually interested in RPGs and probably isn't even watching the trailers he posts.
>>3439555What's her end game?

SKALD: Against The Black Priory release date reveal.https://youtu.be/PjVrwMYpejM?si=Pk_q8GtgmM2R_cFy
>>3444818This just looks cluttered to me, with too much happening. That's a real problem some people have with visual design, the tend to want to over detail things.
>>3444824Its just not visually distinct imo. But we'll have to see with the release. A lot of people are pumping an insane amount of hype into this for whatever reason, whether or not this is deserved or not is yet to be seen. Graphics are generally the least of my concerns.
>>3444833Graphics are important for readability in an RPG. Not enough contrast to pull the eye to things you should focus on and too many background details and busy animations. Won't stop me from giving it a go though.
wayward realms, vampire masquerade 2 if it doesn't look too cringe
>>3444870>wayward realmshe said this year, not in 5
How are those remastered Geneforge games actually?
>>3444917More content and harder difficulties are more fun to play, so if you have not played the series start with mutagen.
>>3444824The graphics have gone through some changes and there are people who haven't liked those changes. However it is my understanding there are togglable graphics options so lets hope one can customize it to their liking.I really liked the look of the earlier demo I played so if I can get it to look like that I'll be happy.
>>3444180This game might actually turn out good and I have had zero expectations for it.
>>3444818I was hoping this would have First person Dungeon crawling in It, but I guess It wont.Will this be story driven like bg3? I got this impression, but Im ill informed about this game.
>>3445115Its like Ultima.
>>3445075Toggles are good, but they should be trying to appeal to people with their visual design, not drive them away in the name of "retro".
>>3444180>clearly meant to be a spiritual successor to Arcanum>the voice acting is kinda bad>the animation is kinda bad>hiding almost all faces so they don't have to be animated is not a good signHowever, I am intrigued and will keep an eye on it.It will be undefendable garbage if they don't allow racism (specism?) in the setting and allow the player character to partake in it.There is no point in using this kind of setting with this kind of story and trying to keep it squeaky clean of wrong-think.
>>3445695>It will be undefendable garbage if they don't allow racismWhen has this ever happened
>>3445702>When has this ever happenedAre you implying that there aren't game that have washed historical settings of racism for the sake of being woke?I hope not, that would make you a retard.
>>3445707>Are you implying that there aren't game that have washed historical settings of racism for the sake of being woke?>can I have an example?>HOW DARE YOUhttps://youtu.be/j_9rvJK7U10
>>3445712
>>3445719Just give me one example of when this has happened in an rpg.
>>3445720For an example of what I am talking about that you have probably played, Skyrim.Yes, there is racism in the setting but it doesn't interact with the player in any meaningful way beyond some generic dialog that doesn't affect the story/quests/gameplay in any way.For example playing as a Kajit or Argonian doesn't change anything about the game besides aforementioned flavor text despite those races being heavily discriminated against in the setting. The racism is just set dressing and not something you actually experience as part of the game and participate in like in Arcanum.I didn't mean to imply that it wouldn't exist at all, you can see from the trailer that it is there at least as a part of the setting.I realize that I didn't make my point clear before, my bad.Also if want an actual "historical" rpg that fits my description: Expeditions: Rome.
>>3445757>For an example of what I am talking about that you have probably played, Skyrim.I have never played Skyrim and don't consider it an RPG.
>>3445760>mad he didn't win a non-argumentI sincerely hope you are a child, an adult acting this way is beyond pathetic.
>>3445764Huh? I'm not arguing. I'm just being honest. If Skyrim is like Oblivion then the reason it doesn't have those features is because the game is simply dumbed down, not due to a removal of those features in particular. Arcanum is also extremely dumbed down and many of its features are greatly overexaggerated by 12 years old who watch sseths and drog, with many race-based dialogue responses being purely flavor as you have previously described.
>>3445768>Arcanum is also extremely dumbed down and many of its features are greatly overexaggerated by 12 years old who watch sseths and drog, with many race-based dialogue responses being purely flavor as you have previously described.You either haven't played it, or you are lying. There are quests that are restricted from certain races and quests that cannot be completed by certain races in the ways other races can. It is relatively minor, but it is there.>Skyrim is like Oblivion then the reason it doesn't have those features is because the game is simply dumbed down, not due to a removal of those features in particularThat's beside the point. I only chose Skyrim as an example because most people are familiar with it. I suppose that I should have worded my concern as: It will be undefendable garbage if they don't allow racism (specism?) in the setting beyond set-dressing and allow the player character to interact with it.The point being, they are a new developer and I am afraid that they might ruin their setting by being afraid to make "touchy-subjects" something that actually interacts with the player.also, who tf is drog?
>>3445791>New Arc Line Gameplay features>Create your own character as a Human, Elf, Dwarf, or Giant. Choose their gender, appearance, and background.

Sea Dogs remake, Carribean Legend, got a 1.1 update this weekend.https://youtu.be/DX7L13FN18M?si=mr3-FxnmOtB8WrYdThey fixed EVERTYTHING.
>>3406928>Paradox may feel incentivized to sell World of Darkness license to somebody elseWoD is a dying IP at this point. They'd just put it into an IP vault, because they are not getting much money for WoD.
>>3445115>I was hoping this would have First person Dungeon crawling in It,Why isn't this more popular for people who make Ultima clones? It is harder to do or something? The dungeon crawling in U5 is sick but games like Nox Archaist make dungeon exploration exactly like the overworld and that is doo doo.
>>3447138Because it was removed in ultima games after 5 and its makes more sense that the exploration is internally consistent.
>>3447149Nah, FP dungeon crawling with tactical combat is superior.
>>3447158Im not so sure, even dungeon puzzles were loaded into combat. The Ultima games are very experimental, the aren't some ancient manual for the perfect game.
>>3447158Yes.>>3447149I disagree completely. The way U5 works is perfect. Overworld, underworld, multiple dungeon levels in first person with select puzzle type rooms was sick.>>3447163>The Ultima games are very experimental, the aren't some ancient manual for the perfect game.I disagree. U5 is, in fact, perfect.

https://www.eurogamer.net/baldurs-gate-3-developers-next-game-likely-early-access-launch-tooLarian says early access is the only way to make games now.
>>3448070>the only way for game developers to remain profitable is to fire their QA staff and let their customers pay to beta test their product, while also taking millions of (((ESG fiat dollars))) to fill their games to the brim with garbage that their customers don't wantOh no no no socialist sisters did we get too cocky
>>3448110Yeah God forbid someone gives customers what they want
>>3448118I really liked the BG3 early access, too. Shelved it for three years and then played the full release version and felt like I got bait and switched with a different game. They shan't be fooling me again.
>>3448121Most people who played the EA didn't want to play DOS3, which is what it played like. Thank God Larian listened, which is why this game sold 10x as much as DOS2.
>>3448125This makes no sense. Not nearly as many people played DOS2, so they had no frame of reference to dislike it. BG3 sold 10x more because of production values.
>>3448163Why would you need to play DOS2 to be adverse to DOS2 mechanics? The mechanics were present in the EA and most people did not like them. Because they are bad. It's pretty simple logic. Check yourself, bro.
>>3448171The people who didn't play BG3 EA or DOS2 didn't like the mechanics that they didn't know about and then heard those mechanics were changed without knowing what that means and then bought the game? It wasn't just that everyone was buying the game because it looked cool and people were streaming it?
>>3448206>The people who didn't play BG3 EA or DOS2 didn't like the mechanics that they didn't know about and then heard those mechanics were changed without knowing what that means and then bought the gameYou're creating imaginary scenarios in your head. This is woman behavior.
>>3448211>You're creating imaginary scenarios in your head. Bruh this is your MO. Your posts are like 90% projection.
>>3448211What? I'm trying to understand your thought process here, it really makes no sense to me.
>>3448216BG3's huge launch numbers were due to listening to people in EA, which spiraled into its wild success. Even the company is saying this. Not sure what's confusing you here.
>>3448221Of course they want to praise EA, it kept them alive with cash and is great for marketing. I just don't know how feedback about the combat system would cause people to buy a game when they wouldn't understand the difference in the first place. It is far more likely they bought the game because it looked good.
>>3448223You are ignoring my post and just making things up in your head again. I will give you one more chance.
>>3448226No.

Part 2 of Vogel's BG3 analysis. (Talkin' 'Bout D&D)https://bottomfeeder.substack.com/p/picking-apart-baldurs-gate-3-part-cfd
>>3451161Looks like risk of rain.
>>3451161Wasn't there some controversy with the dev of HLD?Something about hiring someone involved in the OG gamer gate?
>>3451161This must be made by the kind of person who thinks Zelda is an RPG.
>>3451332Zoe Quinn was in the credits as a special thanks and the dev has some vague anti-GG sympathies (maybe?) I can't be bothered to unearth.

Remnant 2 DLC has been announced.https://youtu.be/4BslLzPYY_w?si=lBXszou_OU6TBf2U
>>3452285For anyone curious, this makes BG3 the first game in all of history to win all 5 major video game rewards. This has literally never happened before.
>>3452365The VGA haven't been around too long so it's not that big a deal.
>>3452748It's been exactly a decade and it will be probably be another decade before this happens again, it's pretty crazy imo. BG3 is the most universally beloved game ever made by an objective qualitative measurement right now.
>>3452365>BG3 the first game in all of history to win all 5 major video game rewardsPlease don't hold it against it or spread this around, it was actually a decent RPG and you don't want to tarnish it with the names of those other games who won those awards.
>>3452753>the names of those other games who won those awards.No other game won all those awards. Ever. That's the point.
>>3452762Most of the games that won those awards aren't that good. The judges of them and their standards are shit, especially for RPGs. Only retards care about video game awards.
>>3452765>Most of the games that won those awards aren't that goodBut no other game won all those rewards. /v/ also voted it goty. So it seems every channel that matters agrees that BG3 is great.
>>3452770>every channel that mattersBut none of those matter in any way. What matters is money, and they got that. I know you are confused, so I'll say I don't dislike the game, anon, I dislike video game awards.

*crickets*
>>3455588The more I dig into this game the more hopeful I get. Less than a day to go.
>>3455588Early access releasing shortly.
>>3458094Go forth ye alpha cucks and bug test for us.
>>3455588Apparently the devs are pretty funny and bullied the purple haired zoomers out of their studio.
>>3458115gossip isn't interesting. i don't care about developer's personalities or lack thereof, only games.
>>3458122It's interesting to me. Is that a problem?
>>3458115>devs are unprofessional and behave like edgy teensUnironically a good sign.
>>3458124lol, you're retarded.
>>3455588Ran the game quickly on my break, was relieved to find it runs well on my 5 year old rig. No real impressions until later when I have more time, but looks good aesthetically and movement feels good.
>>3455588This is actually fun.
>>3458194I have no idea why people were bitching about performance, game runs fine for me.
>>3417067Dream Tactics released, in case anyone was wondering.
>>3458194Played up to and beat the first boss, this game rules. I love this.
>>3458690ah, it's a roll playing game. pass.
>>3458696This is the only good western souls clone I have ever seen in a decade and a half that they've been trying to ape it. This is a big deal.

>>3458699for you
>>3460039Feel free to say which one is better than this.
>>3460095non sequitur. i don't care about souls games, at all. i like rpgs.
>>3458690Still continuing with this. The game is really huge. When you reach the city you get bounties to send you back to areas you've already been in and I found like 4 hours worth of side content I just straight up walked past earlier without realizing it, including a big optional dungeon. Found an edgy dex katana and now I'm killing zombies in some sewers.

>>3461296Is that what you want?
>>3462266Larian already did that blending of genres with Divinity: Dragon Commander, perhaps anon hopes for a sequel.
>>3460927>working on one divinity game and one non divinity gameI really hope that the non-divinity one is the main focus and not the other way around.I want a good si-fi rpg so badly. Nothing has come to fill the void left by Mass Effect. I even got hyped by shartfield, I'm desperate.

>>3462870The reddit frog poster got exactly the game he was asking for. What is the problem? Every upcoming game gets posted here regardless of whether you or I like it. If you don't keep tabs on these sort of things it will blow up in your face. Information is power.
>>3458696If no fucking the frog waifu no RPG no dialogue options no charisma checks Is no RPG is no
>>3462923>spacebourne 2looks very interesting, ill check it out>>3462870>good scfi rpg>mass effectYes, Mass Effect (1) is a good scfi RPG>>3462805I was thinking along the line of space scfi, and 40k, despite being in space, isn't really the same thing.But that is on my backlog.
I finished rogue trader and now I feel emptyany crpg that will help me fill the void?
>>3464339>Yes, Mass Effect (1) is a good scfi RPGit's literally a 3rd person cover shooter.
New authentic pleather Gothic trailer.https://youtu.be/SkOlUyagYq8?si=vlpU4Pa8k0BpFZeP
>>3406905This is a solid plan for sending a message to be honest.
>>3462335> a good si-fi rpgFrogbro I feel you, I really do, but RT is looking really good, I just picked it up as still having fun in Wrath.I'll second the Spacebourne recommendation.You should try some edf 5 and helldivers, not rpg yeah yeah but stats go up and gear and frens and space/space adjacent.
>>3444180>>3457475Both of these are indicative of steampunk being trash for mentally ill people.Why should I be invested in some ugly woman turning into a cockroach with this forced melodrama? It makes me more racist, not less because it's so hamfistedly manipulative.The other one is the usual hipster visually unfocused color riot, sound and image vomit, signifying nothing but the desire to get to the top of all clickbait algos.Give me a setting with some meaning and actual fiction narrative besides tired leftist saws about diversity and inclusion please, thanks.
>>3465165Punk is synonymous with childish political thought. Don't know what you expect, it's on the tin.
>>3450539>looks interesting>daoc and warhammer online folksOn my radar now thanks anon
>>3465167Childish they were but punk was never mainstream and leftism is as corporate mainstream as it gets now
>>3465173Punks were always dumb kids who are swayed by fashion and grandstanding. Businessmen being able to commodify it, and psychologists being able to exploit it, is expected.
>>3465173punk became mainstream within a short few years of its inception and like any counter culture that becomes large enough to not die off immediately, it became part of the culture it was countering.
>>3465193There's really no such thing as 'counter culture' in the last 500 years. It's been a series of cultures formed from constant rebellion. God is Dead.
>>3465196This reads like something a 13 year old wrote.
>>3464457
>>3465575Ok, kid.
>>3465156Quasimorph might be worth looking in to.
>>3465173>punk was never mainstreamDumb zoomer.
