How do they compare?
>>3892614I feel the opposite. If it were up to me, I'd never have revealed the mystery or given you the real Alicia's perspective, have Real Renoir never break Curator character (but still show Verso the real Aline dying). The mystery is the only thing keeping E33 interesting when you know the truth the whole world falls apart.
>>3892693>but still show Verso the real Aline dyingShe doesn't die though?
One is medieval persona with retarded plot and story and the other is an astroturfed JRPG-larper with realism and parry mechanics to appeal to the ironic weeb + soulslike bandwagon along with that indie studio larping to make it a compelling underdog in the eyes of the masses. Both are pretty overrated but hailed as 10/10 masterpieces because the competition is that bad.
>>3892147Sorry man, but Metaphor is just ugly. I don't care if E33 uses stock assets because it's not revolting to the eye like Metaphor is.
>>3890775Atlus games are crap and boring and poorly paced snoozefest. they are all style but zero substance.OST is worse in metaphor compared to P5 which was mid as well.E33 is better, better visuals, better pacing, story and more interesting gameplay.
Ghost Path 2’s English translation beta came out.Thirst’s translation is still on the way.Hollowwald’s development is in progress.

>>3893376>plump all around>bedroom eyes + eyebagsit's Asylum all over again oh my god
>>3893264Nice
>>3893081Honestly a good thing. If Hollowwald's only getting 60 scenes, I want at least 50 of them to be with the main cast, 10 per girl, maybe 4 or 6 with the side characters like the new ninja and zombie, and then 4 to 6 homo scenes. That leaves 0 for skunks.

I really enjoyed the first one. Of course /pol/ seems to tear it a new asshole, but the critics rated it high. Did you enjoy it? Does it live up to its predecessor?

>>3893125>met DEI standardsHe didn’t need to do that for the first game, but Vavra got scared of some leftoid journos and decided to bend the knee and bring in DEI consultants which he then proceeded to lie about doing. So yeah, dude is a lying bitch, fuck him.
>>3889779i bought the first one on sale for a dollar. it didn't appeal to me originally, the idea of a realistic rpg sounded boring. i played the shit out of it. and i played the shit out of the second one. its a good game imo, got robbed at whatever game awards. a few cringe elements in the second one, but not too bad. way better combat than the first. top game imo
So why is cryengine so shit at display clouds?Is it just that it hasnt gotten meaningful updates since the launch of ps4
>>3889779Bought it, the first game is better.2nd game does nothing new or interesting, its just the same game but with more story and with better graphics.Pretty lame sequel desu, its alright if you like the first game.

>>3893092Post-game you can find Pharamea's diary which explains a couple things, namely that you were given to a knight she trusted, so Freid, and she had a daughter that was sent to a hidden island, and thats Signa. It still contradicts Stia's dad's journal which mentions your mom getting pregnant, but they didn't put much thought into that stupid twist>>3893452no, none of the choices make a difference and the story always either continues with no issue or recycles the question until you choose the correct responsebut thou must

And it's confirmed garbage. Not a single smoochable companion. Only alien freaks and ugly black woman. Owlcat are the new Bioware and sold out to woke.
>>3893346>Not a single smoochable companionThe Kroot exists
>>3893476speaking of, where is the torrent for DH?
>>3893465Wait till they finish all the DLC's and final patch.
>>3893346>Kroot>Not smoochable burn the heretic
>>3893363I don't give a fuck about the story, how is the gameplay?
As a Digimon fan, these games are bottom of the barrel, generic RPGs with sometimes incomprehensible plot. I know it introduced a lot of people to the fandom but everything about this game irks me, the art style, the gameplay, the story...
>>3890367Then play the other numerous Digimon games instead of crying about other people getting things that they want?
>>3893496NTA but 1 you're only saying that because you haven't been on the other side of that. And 2 I could shut up if I still got the games I want. When it's all other games, of course I'm gonna get cranky when the only supplier changes stock.
>>3893502>NTA but 1 you're only saying that because you haven't been on the other side of thatOf course I have, even in regards to Digimon. Everybody has at some point, that's not a justification for whining that a franchise or even the industry as a whole doesn't cater specifically to your interests as much as it does other people's.>And 2 I could shut up if I still got the games I wantAnd now you're just reinforcing the notion that it's bad when you guys specifically don't get exactly what you want, but you are both perfectly fine with other people not getting what they want. And this is all in the context of a franchise that does cater to World fans even though they're a minority in the fanbase anyway.
>>3893532>but you are both perfectly fine with other people not getting what they wantYeah, it's not my problem. Like, I can empathize, but it's their thing they can't get. Also, I don't even want World specifically. I just want Digimon Story to die because I am down for a Digimon JRPG. But I want a good one.

>>3893505>Their convoluted atoey could've profited.Story *I'm saying (trying, kek) that bg3 is hastily written and it shows for the most part.
>>3893035You sound like you know your shit really well.Never thought I'd meet a successful game dev in /vrpg/.
>>3893492I work in a large organization, so I understand how people operate within one; and I'm also a consumer, so I understand where and how products fall short of expectations. Whatever you just said makes no sense to anyone who's not unemployed ya fat fuck.>>hire moreRead the entire sentence, fatty. The people you hire should be competent and they should not be hired based on arbitrary criteria such as whatever diversity quotas or whatever the fuck. I'd think everybody agrees with this.Even the fact that you bring up "large company" as if it were some alien, high class concept, shows how fat and unemployed you are.>>3893491>Clankers are not at the point where they write better stories or create better art than peopleHere I somewhat disagree. I've made a point to specify that *mediocre* writers are working on games, and LLMs are certainly doing a better job at it than the people currently employed. Hence, the solution is to hire good writers and devs, which we can shake hands on knowing that it will never happen. There certainly are SOME artists which are irreplaceable. Most aren't.
>>3893526This retarded loser is still orbiting bg3 threads repeating the same shit 3 years in a row.Holy shit please kill yourself and end your miserable worthless existence
>>3892626They didnt, the plan is to use AI on the upcoming game Divinity, since its supposed to be even bigger in scale, they gave the devs the tools and freedom to use AI how they see fit to enhance the development cycle and reduce development bloat and time, which is the smart way to do it since they want to make more games in a span of 10 years rather than spend 10 years on this game alone.AI will be a feature tool in Game Development, its inevitable, because its progress and you cant stop progress. no AI will basically put you behind while others take advantage of all the tools, at the end of the day you gain brownie points (worthless trash) and lose actual value.

>>3893027RPGXP art has soulIt's a shame not more people are doing XP, but I suppose I am a fan of retro style and seeing actual pixels, low bit colors and things like that.
>>38934982k, 2k3 and xp all had great art. vx onward was awful, and mv/mz is just hard to look at

>>3893541are you implying that melee is dead because of expose weakness?are you aware us discord tranny underrail veterans think its best to go without expose weakness on melee builds?I recently did an entire psiblade run without it except at lvl 30 and I had no problems whatsoeverI filmed all the harder battles
>>3893549I'm not tossing 5000 vials of acid onto every robot, Expose Weakness at least made chipping away at them slightly viable.
>>3893551okay, give me a specific robot fight that you think would require cheese without expose weakness
>>3893534only if the dex weapon was desperate for damage. Some weapons might have been, most of the S+++ tier dex shit probably was not. Like your standard Poisoned Shock Knife or the various special round-spewing crazy damage to AP ratio SMGs aren't going to suffer.
I wouldn't mind balance changes if they all didn't seem so arbitrary.
Should I finally get it?
>>3893565If you want.I personally would never get a game where you control more than 4 party members in a battle.
Just picked up the Might & Magic series after playing through the old Bradley Wizardry games,they seem a little more "chaotic" combat seems to be random But I really dig these 80s sprites & MIDI soundfont really nice ambiance and amazing atmosphere,is it a dungeon crawlers or prototype RPG like daggerfall or morrowind?
>>3891505>modsmight & magic had mods?
>>3880580The latest I installed a game from the 3d trilogy (7), which I think is like 4 years ago, it ran just fine on win 10 out of the box
Why was Wizardry massively popular in NIPPON, whereas M&M is barely remembered?
>>3893370Wizardy was 5 years earlier when that really meant something
>>3893101MM8 Merge Project that combines all 3 3D games (6-8). You only need 8 and can chose what game to start with, being able to teleport to another game at any point after a certain story event.
Give me a turn-based JRPG in which you take revenge/or revenge otherwise plays a major role in its plot
Bahamut Lagoon ;)
>>3893471Dark Half. Both protags are revenge-driven. One - against God. The other - against the first one. Also, the only way to get the best ending is to play out both revenge fantasies to the fullest.
Better than the original or not? I have the original but never played more than five minutes of it.
>>3879439>not being a human toilet for towaWEL
>>3889222You're right it doesn't, it's low stakes with something building up. But the thing is all arcs are building up to their own individual big bad AND the overall series big bad. The stakes will come, but the series is more focused on building the world in the buildup game and the payoff game is usually the sequel.
>>3893176I would drink her lemonade directly from the source.I would not eat her chocolate, as E. coli is bad, mmkay?
real question is if anyone played the crossover saga?
>>3893477What if you microwaved it first
I've never played this game, I'm about to start in the coming days. I am unsure but from what I remember this game uses different D&D rules than Icewind Dale 1.What are some tips one should take to play through this game? Is it like the first game?

>>3887788people keep ignoring the warnings
This is the game in which some duergar asshole betrays you no matter what you do.
>>3882804Oddly enough, I thought the Severed Hand fights were mostly pretty tame outside of the goblin marksmen. It was the second level of Dragon's Eye that was hard for me, because of the troll mobs.
