Is this game good? What am I in for? I saw that the deluxe edition of the game is on sale for $12 on PlayStation.
>>3853836Gotta have that sequel stinger that never happens which just ruins both in a sense unless you disassociate the new one with the old series, which given its dead is probably the way to go. Should have just played it like 1 and 5, where the story is wrapped up and self contained, if it does well, then you can just go back and build on it if its a continuation
I just really really really like Kohran Li
>>3853855She techically has the most prominent role in 4, snub of a game as it is. I'm technically not lying.
>>3853193Not really...It has cute girls but the game itself is kind of shit
>>3854325It is actually difficult to lose units, yeah.
There would be a lot more stuff to generate procedurally thanks to modern hardware, so over a huge expanse of land you necessarily would have a lot of cool geography/towns/situations being created instead of the empty sameness of Daggerfall
>>3853717Yeah I guess if you literally ignore everything or you just somehow have no idea how any of this works, then sure, it's all random chaos and you can make up whatever corner your hot take bullshit backed you into. I've seldom seen anyone quite so thoroughly embarrassed as you are right now, and by your own hand, too.I'm curious: is driving a truck a completely different activity than driving a sedan? If you drive them to different cities, is the action of driving just ... different to you?
>>3852616Daggerfall is still too ambitious even for mordern hardware.
>>3854294lmao, look at this vague analogous butthurt.you got owned and are throwing a fit.
>>3853358>>3853359This is going to be vaporwave, mark my words
>>3854347I would call you a fag and vehemently disagree but Julian (their tech lead) passed away recently and the people they have on the podcasts are sounding like headless chickens. They're supposed to release an EA version before the end of the year so here's hoping it's not because I don't see similar games being released by goyslop AAA companies in the near future.
Previous thread is gone. Is there any news about the update?
>>3852237You are one of those Samarina shipping troons aren't you?
>>3762163its AI
>>3852256>You are one of those Samarina shipping troons aren't you?Isn't samarina literally just a straight pairing though
>>3853950There is an audience overlap between execssive shipping and lorefagging
i am using AI to fuck Marina. its epic how far technology has come.
One of the greatest and most soulful old school JRPGs of all time
>>3852717
>>3852404Yeah this is gay. It would be justified if Pokemon were constantly encroaching on the wildlife and replacing them like mimic parasites. The Pokemon series cares so much about environmentalism, but they never talk about Pokemon genociding a myriad of species out of their own food chains. And it would justify why only 151 were originally recorded. Imagine if gen 3 started off with new monsters appearing everywhere and it's an ecological nightmare.
>>3848949Tajiri really tried to tell a story through two first generations. I'm kinda sad that when TPC was established he was kind of shoved outside of the public and Pokemon became exact reverse of what he tried to tell people.Call me a boomer, call me a genwunner or whatever else kids nowadays throw at people like me, but everything after Crystal is really a different franchise.
>>3852703Yea, it was a different time. A successful sequel would see originals go for a lot. I remember the effort my friend went through to get phantasy star 1 cause he loved 2 and 4 so much. However, the original statement was>There were plenty of better titles around.Which really is simply not true. One or two that were only sold in second hand shops isn't plenty and isn't around. Pokemon was a great game and was incredibly accessible when it came out. Other good RPGs on the gameboy? Not there. Though Im sure RPG sales in general started to blow up cause of FF7 and Pokemon. The style of game was so successful in the west it did very much change market trends.
>>3852804There's a tone and a world in Gen 1 and 2. And that goes away in 3. It's a weird world with kids and elderly. Like, what is this place? It's subtle, but it's clear choices to have NPCs not be adults.
THERE IT IS... THE CHARACTERS SHEET!
>>3854280Why should anyone care? Cobra and some other anime is getting their metroidvania. City hunter, samurai pizza cats aso. Likely shit games, all of them.
>20 to 30 hours game>4 continents of 3 to 5 towns each>4 crystals or whatever to collect in each of them>The game end when you defeat the demon king>The game may have, or not, a small stupid twist like the demons being alien for originality sake
>>3854156Yeah M&M has been science fantasy since day-1.
>>3851932The point is op is an objecetively objetive man that enjoys things that have purpose and not retarded poorly written dialogues that lead into romance-porn for faggots
>>3851860based dungeon siege enjoyer
>10 hour game>battles have timed hits and minigames>quirky humor and animal people>may have, or not, a twist about killing enemies or leaving them alivepure ludo
>>3851860>demons being alien for originality sakeThis is an inversion of the real world, in which aliens are actually demons.
I need more games like "Heads Will Roll". Games where with each run you ACTUALLY get strongerI tried several other games on Steam with the "roguelite" tag, but all of them were a scam—the only thing they offered was a larger pool of items or abilities to randomly roll in later runs, not real power growthPost the titles
>>3853441You just need to search for roguelikes instead to get all the roguelites. If you wanted games like Rogues you are just shit out of luck but you don't so the Steam roguelike tag is made for normalfags like you.
>>3853441Bitch needs to get her feet on the table and away from the food, that's nasty.
>>3853513Footfags are the worst.
>>3853514Feetfags* you footsoldier.
>>3853441This dev threw a hissy fit for unclear reasons, shat out an unfinished/cut down dlc, and disappeared. Game's good though.
Was Divine Divinity woke?
If you play a male in RPGs you are a blatant faggot and deserve the emasculation.
>>3852975All video games allowed to finish and be published are woke, and if they're not, then they're arcade bullshit.Deus Ex is weird though. Everyone involved in the narrative and dialogue is a Jew and yet it's Deus Ex.The only things it has against it are the Holohoax and the hilarious decision to make every Illuminatus Christian (Catholic specifically, of course), including the Rockefellers and Rothschilds as stated in the Cathedral level. I hate Christians anyway so I don't care anymore.
I miss pre-D:OS Larian
>>3854268>Everyone involved in the narrative and dialogue is a Jew >The only things it has against it are the Holohoax>make every Illuminatus Christian (Catholic specifically, of course), including the Rockefellers and RothschildsReally makes u think
>>3852975>Most female characters are bitches and all the council race representatives are chill male bros, even orcs. Also, one of main villains is a a cat lady that lives alone in a shithole so disgusting only the strongest monsters survive there (and you can even straight out skip it).Nah.
Is it practical to buy arcade system? Has anyone bought one of the classics and how often do you play it? I worry that I will spend a couple grand on X-Men Arcade or Mortal Kombat III and never end up using it.
I emulated Zero Wing back in the great image macro wars of the early 2000s.
>Changes the gameplay from TTYD for no good reason and its worse.>Manages to tell an interesting and fun story>Mario dies and goes to hell>Has an actual 4chan user in-game (Francis)This is one hell of a game.
>>3850194The "story" was melodrama, the characters were made in MS Paint, and there were maybe 3 levels in the whole game that weren't a complete slog to play through
>>3851707stop bumping dead off topic threads you loser
I forget; was Origami king ragged on because it was bad or because it wasn't TTYD?
>>3852083Bit of both. Any paper mario gets compared to TTYD just in general but the game is also not that good. Best of the post-super paper mario games but still not that great.
>>3852083I think origami king is underrated. I wish they didnt cocktease me with the luigi partner thing though.I liked how you could use the environment to 'skip' things.
Spooky season js coming. What are some good spooky rpgs or rpgs with spooky areas? Yesterday I finished Succubus Prison (NSFW). Survival horror RPG where you have to find a way to escape a house filled with Succubi that want to eat your soul. Kind of cool to see a game go back to the succubus roots. There are no cute lovey dovey succubi here. There are like 50 or so ways to get fucked to death. There is also demon summoning and mystery solving.
What are some good horror RPGs worth checking out besides picrel? I don't care if they're indie, new or old, as long as there's a strong horror component.hard mode: Preferably games where you can't just grind and/or level up and steamroll everything while still maintaining RPG elements
I know nobody's gonna give it a try because it's not le anime, but it's a legit horror game, and it's actually well written if you're fine with rpgmaker jank.https://store.steampowered.com/app/607780/Toymaker/
>>3850835>death end re;questhow are these games? it's like they slipped under the radar and I never hear anyone talk about them.
>>3853621I like both games especially the first one, they are enjoyable turn-based RPGs with interesting stories, memorable characters and great music music (not the best soundtracks but the music is pretty good at times). Like other games developed by Compile Heart, there is a lot of text/dialogue and at times, you'll be reading more dialogue than actually exploring dungeons or fighting monsters but if you don't have a problem with that, they can be fun horror RPGs, or at least. RPGs with horror elements or spooky moments, definitely.
>>3848459wouldn't call it horror exactly but labryinth of refrain is sufficiently spooky and disturbing at times for a mention, the dungeon asthetics always stuck out to me and it can become pretty dark the more you read into it

Do you find RPGs to be too self-serious? It's rare to find one that's overtly silly and fun without sacrificing the gameplay for a different target audience. Feel free to share lighthearted and fun RPGs
>>3852346Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
>>3852374Those who don't understand the full context of the past can't understand it within the present or shape the future. They live as a reaction shaped by the contemporary.
>>3852346>Yeah, because that's sane behavior. Going back and retroactively judging everything.Many here say games don't age, and old games are better than modern ones. Why not take a honest look at them?Context may explain shortcomings, and I can lower my standards and be more lenient towards a game, but it doesn't make a game better.
>>3852385This isn't /vr/, but I have more fun playing Nethack than BG3.Therefore it's an objectively superior RPG.Standards aren't universal.
I have a harder time finding rpgs that take themselves seriously
Is there any other kino rpg like The Witcher 1?
Yes, but your thread was lazy filler and I won’t tell you of them.
sadako chan!
Why are there so few settings that combines science with magic in interesting ways? Or has interesting interactions between the two like in Arcanum?Like being able to cast limited spells by loading them into a gun or something?Why do so many settings either stick to just high fantasy or sci-fi?
>>3852530What are you talking about, are you implying all people with guns aren't mages? Think about it, I point this piece of metal/plastic at someone, and they die. How is that not magic, because you can explain to me how it works?
>>3852534>because you can explain to me how it works?Yes.
>>3847699Only because a publisher wanted to jew out the maximum money out of writers and people.
>>3852530So give me an example of magical bullet vs using bullet as magical catalyst
>>3853501Magical bullet is just a bullet that's "lazy" magic and really technology can do the same thing. Incendiary bullets, electric bullets, etc are all things irl, and having a gun that shoots a "magical" version of that is just technology by another name.By contrast if a bullet is a magical catalyst, then it's more like, you fire the bullet and it turns into a magic missile or an ice beam or something as it exits the gun.
