I geniouteley think that RPGs these days are made for 30 year olds. Youngsters are too dense for that
>>3490595i think video games in general are made for bored dads now. theyre so boring.
>>3490663When people talk about this intangible "soul" element in an artistic work, this is what they're referring to.Despite all the individual parts of this being irredeemable trash, they all come together well to tell a compelling story that clearly comes from the creator's heart. Higher-end CGI and better production values would only serve to work against the creative spirit of the work.
>>3490663>why is this go genuinely goodIt turns out what no pussy does to a mf is the basis of all creation. Tesla almost learned the secret language of birds before his passing.
>>3490595Does this exist with sound?
>>3490829Yes. It's 10x better with sound, too.https://youtu.be/IFT3sA_bYss?si=g0xnP_6J6sueLmeH
There is a reaper that is destroying all the ships attacking it. Any sort strategy that isn’t focused on destroying it could mean dooming the galaxy. Shepard sacrificing the alliance fleets to help the destiny ascension escape has him put the lives of three politicians above the lives of the entire galaxy. And it’s supposed to be a paragon option. Saving a few of elites is the good boy option. So dumb. The choices in mass effect make nonsense. Just like curing the genocide all because you care about making your friend happy rather than making sure the galaxy wont be engaged in a war to stop the krogan after the reapers are dealt with.
>>3446503>sacrificing some trash ships to save an imperiled fleet of much stronger shipsA sensible gambit desu. We know from Codex that the Destiny Ascension is worth the entire Arcturus fleet, since by ME1 Alliance is still very much catching up to the Council in terms of space combat vessel technology, Normandy being a part of that catching-up effort through unconventional approaches built with Turian help. The Alliance only managed that attack because they blindsided Sovereign and Geth ships. That choice should've been a four-way:>"We must save the Council!" (Paragon, Vanilla)>"Fuck the Council" (Renegade, Vanilla)>"Play it safe, don't take any gambles, we can't risk it all in a suicide attack!" (Paragon, New)>"A daring assault is our most promising tactic here" (Renegade, New). So that you can both save and waste the Council, but with different reasoning.
>>3456048cant spell mass effect without massive fucking plot holes
>>3490633I was considering posting a thread listing all the plotholes of the trilogy but remembered they only allow 500 posts per thread and 2,000 characters per post, so I wouldn't even be able to adequately describe even half the plotholes in the permitted 1,000,000 characters. So I said fuck it, it isn't worth posting 6 seperate threads to elaborate about literally every damn plothole. However not everything is a plothole, so no need to move goalposts looking for even more plotholes than we already got. Pretending the Citadel Council aren't (unwittingly) mildly Indoctrinated sleeper-agents would be a plothole in theory, except they are actually Indoctrinated so there is no plothole in actual practiceFfs we already have more than enough real legitimate plotholes to cope with and ruminate over without you inventing fake plotholes in your mind. For example, remember in ME1 when Femshep and Liara T'soni kindly offer to invite Kaiden Alenko into a 2 female 3some? And Kaiden strangely says fuck no? That is a fucking outright offensive plothole! like Bioware heretics wiping their shitty assholes with the Lore itself! Kaiden isn't retarded, if they wanted to make ME1 more realistic he would have said fuck yes!I can prove how it is a plothole, consider this... If Femshep offered any anon lurking here an invitation to enjoy a 3some with herself and Liara, I'd imagine 99% of us would happily accept her offer, right?
>>3446503Don't care about them plot holes. I just play it to pound the squadmates' holes.
>>3490868>If Femshep offered any anon lurking here an invitation to enjoy a 3some with herself and Liara, I'd imagine 99% of us would happily accept her offer, right?I don't have sex with aliens. They will NEVER gain access to my precious seed.
Do you like to play as an imperialist in your games?

>>3490711At least it's better than Aura Clash
I recently finished this game and wanted to talk about it. I thought the combo system was neat, and everyone sharing a single mana pool for casting adds a nice amount of depth to the combat. I also really like the way gems and OOParts allow for a wide variety of builds.Anyway, what's your favorite route and why? For me it's Janice's because of the epic battle against the Self-Eaters at the end. God bless those brave meatshield decoys.
>Beat Janice's route yesterday after not playing for like a year>Sad because the only self-eaters I managed to beat were Janice's and Mel's, everyone else got devouredMy own damn fault for only ever improving Kelly, Prim and Melissa. Everyone else was way too weak.Anyway, since I haven't played in so long I can't remember the systems too well. Any reason not to just give people whatever weapon I please? Starting Mel's route and wondering if I should just make her unarmed for fast stat growths.
>>3490858Also forgot to ask, whose route gives you the most lore on hat world itself and/or big mama?
>>3490858>>3490859You can do whatever you want, with the asterisk that characters who learn unique arts (like Janice's Moon Scraper) have an extra selling point for sticking to their preferencesLore's split across routes; everyone explores different aspects of Hat World, Dora and Natalie are the only two who don't touch on Big Mama at all. Mel's route has the big reveals.
>>3490884>characters who learn unique arts (like Janice's Moon Scraper)Is that ever sign posted by the game? I learned moon scraper on Janice but just assumed it was a standard sword art.
>>3490938Not that I'm aware of, but the only uniques that require flashing are Janice's Meikyo Shisui and Moon Scraper, and Primrose's Star Flare.
A person told me to say this in 4chanI didnt wanted to do it but whatever, its worth a tryApparently, there a secret armor in a roblox undertale rpg game called undertale universal massacreHere a quick example about that game:You start, grind level, get weapons, reach max level cap, reset, Fight AU's bosses that is required to beat to resetPretty simple right?Well there a armor in this game called 'Limitless" and yes its the gojo thingyWe have gotten clues about it but couldnt figure out how to get itThese are the informations we know so far:Limitless possibilitiesWhat we know: Something related to a recent update.Comment too long.

We need more Sephiroth Clones.
>>3486079i agree. Square is a bit late for the hole Marvel mulit verse stick.
>>3486102It was a chance to give the player a motive of satisfaction by swatting the bad guy and given Cloud a symbolic moment of severing his past obsession, which Im sure totally will stick forever and not be undermined for cheap fanservice in a retarded CGI movie.
>>3486078He's a Seifer
>>3486102>>3485770Sephiroth's "real" body is in Northern Cave all game long regenerating through Reunion but all the Sephiroth's you run into are still him, whether it's a psychic vision from Seph's will in Cloud's head or Seph physically manifesting by assuming direct control of Jenova/his clones, it's always him. In the final battle you kill his essence poisoning the life stream (and symbolically from Cloud's life).

Why is Baldur's Gate 3 so much better than Pathfinder:WoTR? It literally shits all over Owlcat's slop and makes Owlcat look like a bunch of hacks.
>>3490848I do, featherweights are sissy bois and manlets. They should all kys.
>>3490827Wrath of the Righteous is a very good CRPG, but Baldur's Gate 3 is one of a generation type of a RPG, its truly among the highest of tiers, not just as a CRPG, but as a game. Owlcat have their talent, not as talented as Larian but they surely do have talent, their problem is lack of proper management, lack of a good director (like swen) and lack of budget.Owlcat started aiming too high too quick, they should have increased their scale and ambition bit by bit, if they do that they will steadily progress to become a much bigger RPG studio, you just need patience and to keep learning from your mistakes and improving games, eventually they will reach their peak.
>>3490831Owlcat are terrible by any measure though, not just in comparison to Larian who are objectively at the apex of crpg design.
>>3490910Then why compare them at all? Putting something in the same sentence is making a case for comparability. This is the inherent flaw of versus bait.
>>3490839>Guys, why is this one game the best game ever made and this other one is stupid and dumb and stinky and ugly>This is ragebait>WOOOOOW we can't even talk about RPGs here? Hypocrite much?>>>/v/
It may look like shit but it will offer a choice of real RPG (that is realtime) combat instead of strategy game combat, which is so rare these days. It also takes inspiration from the best RPG of all time, BG1. Hopes, fears, dreams?
>>3489040Annihilation then
>>3489128you have a particular fetish, huh?
>>3489223science fiction you mean?try Pale Fire by Nabokov then
>>3489042Really if you're not a misogynist these days, something is wrong with you.I don't like puppet NPCs in the first place though, all your party members should have AI.
>>3489042Russians do like putting dolls inside dolls. Lesbian MCs make more sense now.
Should I even bother?
>>3479236i hate trannies so much its unreal
>>3479506Pro tip: Shoot Ben immediately until he goes unconscious and run out of the vault. DO NOT speak to him. He shouldn't follow you past the next loading screen. This doesn't break any quests and there are no other consequences to this, not even karma loss.
>>3490138Yeah, but that doesn't fix the dogshit story, worldspace etc etc.
It's good for what it is, but the mod is literally incomplete. It's a good DLC sized prologue for your character that qualifies as a short standalone game. I like how it actually feels like a sequel to F2/Prequel to NV, which was it's entire point, and at that it succeeds as a bridge game. It has it's problems, of course: Incomplete content, shitty story, cringy characters, optimization issues, it likes throwing a billion spongy enemies at you at random ect. I will say that it does a good job of being an actual RPG and captures the spirit of the Fallout setting well. If you can bear with it's drawbacks and crave some actual OG Fallout(not the Bethesda slop) desperately, you can't really go wrong with this one, if you think you're gonna have a bad time looking into the game, I suggest watching the Four Friends play videos like someone already linked.BTW I wonder when the lads will watch the Fallout TV show and commentate over it like they did with the Halo show. That should be a blast.
>>3490692Very true but it does make everything lot more tolerable. I restarted my first playthrough very early on to try this since I just couldn't stand Ben's edgy bullshit.
>life sucks, then you die

Where do you even dl the english translation of this game?

Anyone here played this one? Really caught me off guard how much I liked it. I'm about 10 hours in and it's fantastic. Combat wise it plays like SOTN and the aesthetics are very mid 2000s doujin game (probably because thats when it started development).I havent seen this talked about at all though.
i got stuck in some orc cave thing? it said i needed a golden head. i couldnt figure it out and didnt want to look it up. so i stopped playing there
>>3485849you have to take the wooden skull back to the lake. Remember what the lake lady did to the crow?
Remember to give the witch mouth to mouth, OP. Mortar and pestles are for losers.
>>3484463You will hate the endgame but everything until the very last chapter is pure kinohttps://youtu.be/m_rmdT5lh0o?si=qqGf_LFm4G-iL7_N
>>3485259Best description of the problem here yet. At least RPGCodex has some right to their elitism, the midwit takes I see floated here daily are like looking into an abyss of absent fathers and trailer parks.There are a very few people of substance that lurk and occasionally comment though.
Final Fantasy is hitting a slump. Fictional RPG animes are in decline. Rpg Maker sites shutting down.Soon they'll be chanting "Dead Genre!" like it's 2012 all over again.

>>3490681The only good crpg to come out of Europe is BG3 and the retarded slavs here hate it.
>final fantasy is in a slumpi don't think 24 years since the last good game in the series is a "slump", anon, the series is just over
I think RPGs are influencing Anime; not the other way around. https://www.cbr.com/isekai-vs-regular-fantasy-anime-ghost-in-the-shell-arise-director/>tl;drThe director of Ghost in the Shell doesn't understand isekai. Thinks the world building is inconsistent because he's apparently never played an RPG and needs someone to explain why "tapping the air" brings up a User-Interface. Unsurprising, he wants to see A.I. direct Ghost in the Shell someday.
>>3490736To be fair, he probably meant the u.i. actions should be done by thought and not hand gestures.That would suck if it was completely mental. And you had to remember you inventory without a list

what's the difference between the remakes? which ones would you recommend to be played first? also japanese or english version?
>>3486315>>3486320Isn't PSP version basically the same as the PSX version storywise, except for the extraneous bit at the beginning? It's just that in terms of gameplay it's so simplified as to be boring.GBA version is legitimately a new take on the story, but it's also brain-dead easy.
>>3489206Does anyone know a good site to download the English version?
>>3486109The PS1 version is the way to go. The dialogue is fun to read, even for mundane NPCs. The only other choice is the original, but it's not as good.
>>3487951PC version of SSSC has the highest quality. For Lunar 2 it's the Playstation version. The Sega CD games have animated cutscenes which aren't exactly FMV.
