This game is the colsest thing to my dream game. If only it had a high level campaign mode where you lead armies in like in fantasy. Plus some quest variety would be nice. Would be so awesome.Is the sequel any good?
>>3694751Sell me on it, from what I looked online it's very barebones.
Bump
>>3697645This, tell us what's so good about it.
The real hype thread. 17 days lads until Henry comes to see us.What new features/content/etc are you most looking forward to?For me, it's more farkle and dice collection autism
>>3698823Henry has come to rape us!Jesus Christ why us?
>>3698823I'm excited for the Poz Meter mechanic that you have to manage so Henry doesn't die from all of his gay STDs because he tongues worm infested male anusesSounds really hardcore
>witcher 4>kcd 2"based slavs"lmao
>>3698823I want to get it but really, if this uses a newer engine then it is a pass for me.

What's your favorite 3ds Rpg's?Taking a break from my quest to finish all fire emblem games and been playing some etrian odyssey v and rune factory 4 both of which have peak cozy rpg vibes Do you enjoy these titles? Anything you prefer over them? Are there any hidden gems for the 3ds?
Why is this game not discussed more frequently among the CRPG community? It's the most faithful adaptation of 3.5E D&D. It's focused on dungeon crawling. It's turn based, like all D&D adaptations should be. Plus the visuals are very nice. Yes, it was buggy on launch but it now runs perfectly fine with Co* and Temple+. Maybe because it is set in Greyhawk?Anyway, ToEE thread.
>>3698964Balance is the key. Too much focus on storytelling at the cost of gameplay is bad. Too much focus on dungeon crawling and combat is fucking boring. Only autists like that, and not the good kind. The kind that put 10,000 in Runescape because they like doing the same thing over and over.
>>3698725The game is not on Steam & not zoomer-friendly installation process.Simple as.
>>3699035sad
>>3699139Gradually, I began to hate them.
>>3699074Well, this fact lacks some details.There are two versions of Bertram: 1) Bertram - the gay one (located at the docks at daytime)2) Frederick Bertram - the straight one (located in the tavern at nighttime)First talking to either the straight or gay Bertram makes the other one disappear.Also, straight Frederick Bertram has better stats.
Undertale Yellow's 1st year anniversary happened very recently. How do you think the game's aged? Did the devs answer the questions you wanted?Are you developing a fangame? Share progress!
>>3698404I think Gaster and all the goners are unused content and retcons.
>>3698412Beware, you might trigger my autism with thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjoJmV16e2A
Should we begin the /v/ thread now? What would be a good conversation starter?
Seeing more wojaks in the catalog than normal, do we really want to risk it?
>>3699067>>3699084Do it tomorrow. Its too early.
Enough time has passed, what do we think of it?For me its unironically a masterpiece
>>3696734Anon, it's not that...
>>3696747O-oh. That Ruina. I-i knew that. I was just pretending not to know.
>>3696747Anybody got a link to this? I wanted to play again recently but saw that the original link I used was dead.
>>3696981https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t0fRXzpzndH-UDUf1fJcFDot8LqM2YK3/view?usp=drive_linkAnd for Seraphic Blue:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w0mi_nK-n_bBMUsdEHMUz6PIrphsTYzo/view?usp=drive_link
>>3697104Thanks Anon
Even though RF5 was a letdown, does anyone have the next Rune Factory on their radar? The idea of getting hyped for an end of life Switch game seems pretty stupid, but the waifus/husbandos dropped today and the game is coming out in Mayhttps://youtu.be/DDcFzgjVYII?si=HsQrJLVAMO2kleSR
>>3697298lynette from rune factory 1 was also romancable post story, that not entirely new
I have no hope left for this series.
>>3697676Except Rune Factory has always been for men. This is a list of stores with pre-order bonuses for Guardians of Azuma:11 stores for menAmazon, Gamers, Geo, Kojima, Joshin, Sofmap, Bic Camera, Furuichi, Yodobashi, Rakuten Books, WonderGOO2 stores for womenAnimate, Stellar Worth5 stores for the general publicAsakusa, AmiAmi, Takara Soko, Neowing, TakarajimaRune Factory has so many women playing it that there are only two stores with bonuses specifically for them. There are no dlc costumes for the men either. Makes you wonder huh? And this is after 4 games with female protags catering to them. What a lovely franchise, I hope alienating most of their male audience to pander to women and fags was worth it.
If it's going to have the same shitty localization as the previous game I'm not interested. I don't want male characters flirting with my male MC because the developers were too afraid of upsetting the alphabet people.
Japanese players are not happy with Guardians of Azuma.
English translation of Rebirth came out a month agoGraces F Remastered is coming out in a few days. 2 days left for Japs
>>3699068Fuck off Edna faggot. You and all the other retards on this thread.
>>3699089It's always a dumb bitch praising another one
God damnit Cedric is filtering me, i didn't remember this guy being so troublesome
30 bucks for Arise + expansion or 40 for the Graces Remaster, bros?Never played Arise and have heard relatively mixed things about it, but I loved Graces 15 years ago and even got the plat trophy for it.
>>3698918>there are ones that they clearly care more aboutTales of Phantasia FVE remaster.Tales of Phantasia X remaster.Tales of Phantasia HD-2D remake (I don't like HD-2D but realistically that's probably what we''d get and I'd play it.)Please, give me any of this.
The ver 2.00 update is coming soon.Innocent Rules's translation is almost done too.
INNOCENT RULES is complete.Presently contains the following (known) bullshit:- No honorifics (war crime)- Bitch algae (hilarious)- The Chicken That Spoke of the Sun (wtf)- Untranslated dialogue in places the translator believes is unreachable but might be reachable on some whim of fate- How do you pronounce Signine???Enjoy 18 years of my blood and your tears.
>>3699124Nice. Github's empty now too.https://github.com/null-partition/innocent-rulesThere aren't any links posted there though, so you just have to use the green code button and download zip if you already have 1.12 downloaded.
Alright, time to corrupt a shota.
>>3699133Thank you for your service. Do you have any TL notes to share like sub-par did? And are you going to update the translation at all when typos are found?
>>3699133Your work is extremely appreciated. Thanks a lot.
So the trailer came out, ex witcher devshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DauErLT3OH0Thoughts?
>>3696184>>3696215>>>/trashYou've clearly skipped your goon session today, faggot
>>3696820You are a moron without opinions of your own.Who just repeats an opinion of a YT talking head WHO DIDN'T READ THE WITCHER BOOKS.
>>3697121So is it a copy or is it "inspiration/influence".Very different things.
>>3698544People are narcissistic, they don't write anything but humans. Just look at every sci-fi alien who talks ever. Besides, that would be a risk and investors don't like risks.
>>3698544How is that any different then any other game? In the Witcher the majority of human society is absolute shitheads and you don't feel bad when you murder 20 adult men with families and lives. It doesn't matter if you're a monster or not, that's the core gameplay loop for basically any game where you kill people.
>One of the most flawed ARPGs ever made>Still love it to deathThere's just something about this game that keeps me coming back time and time again.
>>3698446>The leveling system is broken.It's not. The issue is with certain enemies not having level caps.>mod that fixes it so you let’s get the option to +5 one all three of your core attributes.That's just a cheating and coping. You don't need +5s.Get a mod to level cap enemies, and stop fretting about leveling up. Don't be autistic.
Im a khajiit in disguise. Want to see me lick my butt?
The level scaling is the main gameplay change I want to see in the remaster. Its already been said a dozen times ITT but I cant stress enough how it just kills leveling in this game. The absolute fucking damage sponges that comes with being level 50 is insane.
>>3698814There won’t be a remaster.
>>3699109Source?
Why has Souls/Elden combat become stale?
>>3698763i-frames are such a dogshit piece of game design. It streamlines the combat in such a way that it doesn't matter what the enemie's attack looks and moves like, since the player doesn't need to actually dodge it, they only need to press the dodge buttom at the right time.
>>3698608>their combat system is barely more complex and involved than Skyrim'simagine being so clueless, holy shit
>>3698871>they only need to press the dodge buttom at the right timeAnd lose the whiff punish opportunity, if you are familiar enough with the attack and hitbox you can just use footwork to dodge it and be able to punish immediately. I-frames are great and a staple of the series.
>>3698763ThisIt's called rollslop for a reasonThe problem is that the game began gravitating around the concept of I-framing through attacks moreso than anything else.Almosy everything else in the game is the illusion of choice and depth. It doesn't matter what the numbers on your character say, besides whether you use the cosmetic katana, hammer, or wizard stick, because the execution is just about the same regardless.Elden Ring cements this by anything that sticks its toes out of this formula being hideously unbalanced one way or the other. They literally cannot balance a game without rollslop. The only ways to play the game are rollslop or cheese, and the cheese is just bad design.
>>3698871And yet people complain the game is to hard
Long time no see /vp/. Happy late new years, I haven't posted anything in a long while because I've been busy with personal stuff.I finally finished my Pokémon Platinum playthrough and I'm here to share my thoughts.As always, I'll remind y'all I'll be playing/replaying these games this year>Pokémon Yellow (completed)>Pokémon Crystal (completed)>Pokémon Emerald (completed)>Pokémon LeafGreen (completed)>Pokémon Platinum (completed)>Pokémon HeartGold>Pokémon White>Pokémon White 2>Pokémon Clover>Pokémon Radical Red>Pokémon Unbound
What can I say about Sinnoh but that it's kinnoh?Gen IV finally introduces the phys/special split and improves learnsets so a lit of Pokémon are finally viable.I'm a bit biased towards Platinum because I played it back when it first released back in middle school and was my first Pokémon game.I had a blast playing against friends but obviously this time I couldn't use any of the new online features like Global Trade, etc.The Sinnoh region itself is kino doe, with plenty of great characters like the yuri subtext between Candice and Maylene, the father son duo Byron and Roark, the bromance between Volkner and Flint, etc.It also has one of the tougher Elite Fours and THE hardest champion in the franchise.Seriously, Cynthia's Garchomp is completely OP.
The Sinnoh dex is awesome af... but a lot of the newer mons suffer from either being at the end of the game, postgame or you have to trade with an item, which sucks.I don't blame players for using Staraptor and Luxray so much, there's great mons that are available at the very beginning of the game so why wouldn't you?I tried to avoid the "every Sinnoh team" meme but Lucario and Gatchomp are just too good to pass up.Also a feature I really liked is you get the running shoes almost immediately AND you can use them inside buildings. Really helps the game's pacing.
Team Plasma is based and Cyrus' plan is so high IQ that to this day no one know what he truly wanted to achieve.Also is it just me or is the music in this game amazing?The Plasma victory jingle, Cyrus' battle theme and the music that plays at the Survival Area are just some of the great pieces in this game.There were a few new features I didn't care about like poffins and going underground, but generally the new stuff was great, especially WiFi battles.The Battle Frontier isn't as cheap this time around and some of the facilites are fun, especially the Arcade and the Castle even if the RNG blatantly screws you over a couple of times.
Overall I'd have to give Platinum a 9/10.It has an amazing region, AWESOME starters, great music, a badass and actually menacing villainous team that isn't just a rehash of Team Rocket, the most advanced graphics for a Pokémon game at the time and loads of post-game content, not to mention online functionality back then.The best Pokémon game I've replayed so far. Hell, it even has a best girl Jasmine cameo! Isn't that neat?
>>3698874Congrats anon!
>abilities, held items, weather, terrain, entry hazards, trick room, and the gen gimmick (megas, z-moves, dynamax, tera).Pokéchads have the most mechanically complex RPG and it's not even close.
>>3698180>it's a stateverything's a stat retard. What a brainlet take.
Yo i know no one here is gonna agree but gen8 singles was kino as FUCK talknig about pure multiplayer here >the MAX system made a ton of pokemon more viable and it was cool watching giant pokemon fight >all my favorites present >somehow looked more graphically stable than gen 9 I don't think ive ever had more fun in pokemon then in gen 8 when i made a ghost type team and made it to masters every single season as a ghost type gym leader. finding work arounds to any of my weaknesses
>>3698180>dynamax-same as megavolutiondidn't fucking play gen 8 ANYONE can dmax mega evolution made only certain mon strong dmax made everyone strong and gave every single mon the ability to set up terrains
>>3658650not even 1/1000th as complex as 3.5 dnd(weaker character building, no grid based combat etc)the games are all set on giga easy mode difficulty as well
>>3659794Barely. Vast majority of battles are 1v1, removing all depth. They are really mishandling the IP when they should have gone 2v2 permanently as the default game experience decades ago and stayed there.
