God I hate fatlus fags, just play Wizardry instead of its gay weeb clone

Wizardry is okay but Atlus's non retro dungeon crawler Etrian Odyssey is 10000 times better

EO is just yet another weeb wizardry clone with filler and dumbed down shit

It's more complex than wizardry, not that being more complex than wizardry is hard, you just need to make fighters more than just retards that can only perform normal attacks
>>
>>12200452
>muh complexity
It's all filler time waster trash, the most fundamental part of Wizardry is missing your party and rng stakes, can't have those in your gay ass modern weeb game.

As if wrpg have permadeath, in fact wrpgs are way less punishing than your average retro jrpg as they allow you to rest and save anywhere
>>
>>12201818
>As if wrpg have permadeath
Wizardry and roguelikes do, now go cope with your pussyfied weeb clones for pedos failing to beat a 30 yo game
>>
>>12201838
I think you're failing to understand it doesn't add anything of value to the game besides wasting the player's time.
>>
>>12202456
You're too retarded to get it anon, Wizardry and rougelikes aren't some +100 hours long time wasters jarpig, you can finish those games in a few hpurs if you are good enough. You're too much of a weeb pussy to handle real games tho.
>>
>>12202480
You don't even understand how roguelikes work, they are supposed to be +100 games that incentive multiple playthroughs by default, and what you call "permadeath" is here to make you start over with NEW/RANDOM content, it actually has a function.

Wizardry however is not a rogouelike and the whole permadeath shit is just there to be a time wasting mechanic to make the game longer.

And yes I beat Wizardry is a short game, and that's why I say the permadeath mechanics adds nothing.
>>
>>12203091
>they are supposed to be +100 games
No roguelike is +100 hours a run you retarded fuck, otherwise they'd just be bloated jarpig trash.
>Wizardry however is not a roguelike
Roguelike is just a RPG subgenre, and Wizardry has plenty of rng and customization elements to keep things fresh for a while, it has real dice rolls and more erratic encounters and mechanics than your weeb garbage.
"Permadeath" wasn't even exclusive to roguelikes, it was a common in most games from the 70s/80s, you're supposed to start fresh after dying. What jarpigs and modern gaming did was trivialize death while bloating games with meaningless content, and low iq retards like you totally bought into it.

Lol. I see western insect söytubers have finally “discovered” garakei games and are now farming keitai wiki for content. This is why we need gatekeeping.
>>
>>12203135
If a rogouelike doesn't has 100+ hours of gameplay then it's a fucking failure of a rogouelike.
>Wizardry has plenty of customization elements
You obviously never played Wizardry or a game with actual customization
>>
>>12203257
The average roguelike is like 10 hours long a run you retarded cunt
>You obviously never played Wizardy
Said the weeb shitter coping with a pedo game because a Wizardry filtered him, bet you used save-states too and pretended you "beat" the game you fucking shitter.
>>
>>12203320
Yes a single run dumbass, now count actual play time
>>12203320
How the fuck did it filter if I won the game? I'm not even saying it's a bad game but pretending it has customization is retarded
>>
>>12203330
>single run dumbass
Not an excuse, jarpigs trash are 100 hours for a single run, they are a boring slog and you never touch them again after clearing unless you are autistic
>le customization
Wizardry allows more customization than the average jarpig with fixed parties and characters, dumbass shitter. Fatlus just happens to be one of the few that tries to make a decent Wizardry clone and even then they fail with piss easy gameplay and bloated length
>I won the game
No you didn't you pathetic save-state shitter

I don't know why you are so mad about games giving you more play time.
>Wizardry allows more customization than the average jarpig with fixed parties and characters
FF7 alone has more customization than Wizardry and I think that's an overrated piece of shit too.

Yes the number 1 is higher than 0 but it's still nothing compared to 10, again Wizardry isn't as "customizable" as you make it out to be, you would know this if you had played the fucking game.
>>
>>12203429
>I don't know why you are so mad about games giving you more play time
Not as mad a you seething over real rpgs having real deaths, pathetic shitter. You can cope all you want with your bloat content, it's still garbage if it allows you to save every 5 minutes, this shit killed gaming.
>>
>>12203459
I'm just saying it's pointless in Wizardry, in games like rogouelikes and Fire Emblem it actually makes sense but in Wizardry it is just kinda pointless feature copied from DnD, oh no someone failed to revive? Time to fuck up Murphy's ghost for a while.
>it's still garbage if it allows you to save every 5 minutes
Yeah that's mainly wrpgs, jrpgs you seethe so much over generally have savepoints and you can't savescum battles.
>>
>>12203481
>it's pointless because it filters me
Not how it works.
>Fire emblem
It's just a silly jarpig, you can just load your previous file, not mention later games got rid of it.
>that's mainly wrpgs, jrpgs you seethe so much over generally have savepoints and you can't savescum battles
It's the same silly shit, actually it's more dangerous in wrpgs because you can save in a risky situation, no such thing in casual jarpigs
Ultima might've contribuited in ruining rpgs but Dragon quest was the nail in the coffin.
>>
>>12203528
>think it's pointless =/= filtered
Literally beat the game, what's next? you are going to praise the double tapping in Cotm?
>, you can just load your previous file, not mention later games got rid of it.
Yeah you know what other series did that? Wizardry
>It's the same silly shit, actually it's more dangerous in wrpgs because you can save in a risky situation
Well that's entirely on you for being a massive retard and only using 1 saveslot when the vast majority of these games even have a quicksave button that's a different save from your main save so you don't fuck it up, if this ever happened to you then you have double digit IQ
>Dragon Quest
Literally a game where resource management matters more than the average, "rest anywhere and be completely healed" wrpgs.
>>
>>12203552
>beat the game
You didn't, you used save-states, until then you are a pathetic mega shitter, worse than not touching the game at all.
>Cotm
Sorry I don't speak tranny

>you used savestates
Sounds like projecting, why you keep insisting this? Can't believe someone can beat a short game like Wizardry 1 without savestates?
>Only the late games that weren't even made by the same guys
Agree, Wizardry 6-8 sucked ass
>>just make 20 save files bro
>Shitter sure knows how to cheat.
How is it cheating if the game literally allows you to do so?
>just seething about jrpgs again
It's a shame your autism won't let you enjoy both
>>
>>12204535
>why you keep insisting this?
maybe because you're so incredibly anal about it? If permadeath wasn't such a big deal you wouldn't whine like a bitch about it.
>enjoy both
Leave japs the action games, they can't make real rpgs for shit

They don't and pre android mobile gayming wasn't gay. I don't mention iphonr because early paid ios games were just beefed up brew games. Think of brew as another platform along with Symbian which is nokia, Imode which is jap, J2me which is java.

I have literally never met anyone who played mobile games in the flip phone sense, and I was in elementary school in the early 2000's during the peak mobile game era so I was actually there for them. Kids never played them because most stuff on the GBA was a better time, and adults never played them because adults didn't play vidya in general at the time. I never figured out who actually bought these, the most you'd see is people playing the demos that came with their phones once or twice.
>>
>>12206630
How many kids have phones? Nowadays every kid but back then it was different only adults would have phones, you should know this if you were in elementary back in the 00's, only people that actually needed phones had them back then.

>Why were retro mobile games so fucking soulful?
It was a brave new world uninhibited by console censorship and QA policies. Brand new studios hoping to make a name for themselves set out to make actual games as best they could with art direction and game design. Unfortunately the market for mobile games was not the like the market for console games and eventually the industry would find its footing with ultra casual slop with near constant MTX spending. Apple tried to undo some of the damage they were responsible for by hiring real game devs and funding their entire development to get real games for apple arcade, but it didn't work. Gamers don't want to play on mobile and mobile gamers don't want gameplay, they want time wasting and gambling.

>Gameloft couldn't be fucking touched in the java days.
It always bothered me that we were stuck with J2ME. Like the hardware in these phones was decent, I always wanted to know what they could do when not doing JIT and passing everything through a generic display API not optimised for anything. I kind of got my answer with DoCoMo where in Japan they'd make games just for specific handsets using something closer to the metal.
Hell, I remember being incredibly disappointed the day I found out that the first model of the RAZR had a display chip by nvidia but all the 3D acceleration was dormant because all you could run on it was J2ME software rendering.

I will summarize the game for you, don’t read if you’re playing to play it for yourself

> things play out like last time… for short minutes
> shit goes out the window the moment you hear a shitty pixelated version of “twinkle twinkle little star” .. you can hear it at very last second of the trailer on Steam
> a demon named “The Piper” eats your sister, parents and whatever child he comes across, completely different of how shit was handled in all Last Bible games so far
> a goddess shows up early with the player, she starts nice at first but loses her shit the more evil she witnesses
> she decided at one point to choose the Piper himself as worthy and fuses with him resulting Metatron…for some reason
> Arangel Michael from the previous game - with all his memories intact- didn’t have any of it and still loyal to the old god
> your ass go to the moon to take down the fused Metatron with the help of Michael … kinda
> fucking end of Evangelion soundtrack plays when you fight the final boss, how they survived a copyright claim is beyond me
> if you lose, the music will continue playing with the only English text in the entire fucking game displays on screen
> if you win, a quick event suggests “we will meet again in the Third and final game”
> you get the choice to kill the Piper or spare him
> here is a post game content if you are insane
