What’s the /vrpg/dict on this game?
>>3980067I never played it. Is there a HD version? AFAIK it's tacked on the gothic remake.
>>3980061>That is the magic of gothic? Having two factions to work for?I didn't say that.I said that the way it's set up in Drova is evocative of Gothic. Specifically in that the particular way gear tiers and trainers are gated behind faction progression reminded me a lot of Gothic 2.
>>3980088Maybe. I detest it. It's typical for germoney. FYI the masters of machine engineering that were rocked by the second poorest country of this planet in like 30 years. Sucks to be them, I guess.
>>3980090what the fuck are you talking about?

Have you played any interesting RPG Maker game lately?
>>3982009The thing is, these games aren't supposed to exist. The dev did and still is attempting to erase all trace of them from the internet. Like, I have the game files for both the original and one of the more common versions of the fanmade sequel that caused the dev to crash out to begin with, but if he's still going after links after all these years I'm not sure where I could upload them safely.
>>3982216You could upload them to one of those temporary 3rd party file sharing sites, then leak them here.
>>3982235aHR0cHM6Ly9saXR0ZXIuY2F0Ym94Lm1vZS8zM3l1dWUyNnZ1YWs3bDJzLnppcA==Base64. That should take you to a Litterbox link.
>>3982255Thank you anon. I appreciate your sharing otherwise lost media, and will do my best to archive and proliferate it to other RPG enthusiasts I know.
Finally, I found a good jrpg.
>>3982167the combat is underwhelming and the writing is awful but the graphics and music are excellent and the dungeons are pretty cool
>>3982167>Golden Slopenjoy your baby first's JRPG
Just think about it. It's a critical factor in combat. A character gets hit- it hurts like hell- can't do anything for a moment.For unknown reason it's completely neglected, while IT SHOULD BE THERE, if not in action games then at least in turn- based and RTWP games.The most of games come with some otherworldly effects accompanying a successful critical hit and that's all.The only game I remember to have something close to it this is Witcher 1 and it was only a side effect of certain attacks, not a constant part of the combat.Might be not an literal pain but some negative factor affecting the combat, accumulating with the received damage.
CDDA retarded pole
Sounds like you could get stunlocked.
The pathfinder series is a kino vrpg of the highest order. And I've never pretended otherwise. We all know all good things come in three !So, when will Owlcat deliver a third game?
>>3925321this genre will never be great if we keep pretending that the combat mechanics matter.
>>3925314They're obviously huge and diverse and have good premises but I really can't imagine ever playing either one ever again. They both had terrible long and weak segments and no real peaks and I don't care if any characters in them live or die.
>>3928600Woke is when you performatively include any minority interests of any kind. That means blacks, browns, feminism, gays, anything other that hetero white people of good standing. Why? Because this is fantasy, and nobody fantasizes about there being more blacks and gays. People fantasize about there being less or no blacks and gays, and the fantasy should reflect that.
>>3982174Bizarre. I thought they had consistently interesting and engaging content all throughout and I love almost all the characters and companions. It's ok if you don't like stuff, anon, but don't phrase it as if your personal taste and subjective opinion is in any way an objective thing.
>>3982174I can't relate. I think they're very cozy in a way where I have stupidly tried to replay them. but they are really too long to dedicate that much time to a second time, at least within a decade.
EXP is an outdated and obsolete mechanic. Games should reward exploration, completion, and engaging with the mechanics, not grinding.
I like xp
>>3965618>an outdated and obsolete mechanicexplain whyis chess outdated and obsolete?I think you don't actually understand what games are and look at them as nothing but virtual reality experiences where the point of the mechanics is to simulate real lifenow, the history of games is definitely intertwined with war simulation, so your confusion isn't unfounded. it's just very reductive to limit games to that and consider them as failures because technology has evolved and you can now simulate with less gamey abstractions
>>3982199Not necessarily, but should open other parts of the game. Somehow we still follow 70s design principles of right and wrong choices. See bg3. It wants to be sandbox and open, but a single decision can lock you out of hours of gameplay. One door closes, the other opens.
>>3982233Do you like money and tits, too?
Weapon skill levelling up based on use is a very cool thing, that's what I think
Look Outside is the Sinners of horror games.>supposedly, the characters being all Black is just because of a "limitation of the color palette">inadvertently, it's actually based on Black horror (living in the 'jects, being unemployed, most of your neighbors are unemployed)>the [thing that triggers the mutations] is a metaphor for the crushing realization of the inevitability of playing rentAnd everyone who was mutated by looking outside? They are the ones who paid the price. Get it? Pay the price = mutate as a result of looking outside = paid rent. Brilliant.It's the same sort of semantic analysis as you get for Candyman (the original).
Joel rape
I dont get why xin amon wasn't made a hopeless boss battle full stop, instead it just goes to cutscene.
>>3982048None of the fights really go all in on the idea of something mutating more and more and more and the music shifting to that realization of fucked as they keep mutating into something even more unstoppable, until it just is impossible to win.I really kept thinking one of the bosses would be that, surprised none technically are even if yeah a couple of them still end badly even on "winning".

Best DLC for New Vegas.
>>3978982Honest Hearts is better because it's more open world to explore with less restrictions, but Dead Money does have a better story, imo, it's just too limiting and irritating to play more than once. Feels more like a chore than a fun game.
>>3979279I’m sort of inclined to agree. When I was just a wee tyke I loathed Dead Money and found Old World Blues incredibly charming. Now that I’m a bit older I appreciate the challenge and atmosphere of DM whereas OWB frequently comes off as obnoxious. Honest Hearts can be a bit of a slog at times, but it’s still entertaining. Lonesome Road doesn’t really work for me anymore.
>>3978625That's not Honest Hearts.
>>3978982Old World Blues is very bad.The only good part is the loot, but the issue is the issue is that it just clashes with the tone and setting of the game. Regular FNV is a really down-played, low sci-fi. Sure you have laser guns and robots, but it's all done to be a bit of a 50s envisioning of the future, and feels more like a western.OWB, and to a lesser degree both DM and LR, fuck that up by adding in a bunch of ridiculous sci fi bullshit. Like sentient ai, surgery centers capable of anything, holograms, matter generators, forcefields, and a whole host of bullshit.
>>3979279It doesn't help that Old World Blues is nothing but constant combat (bad combat with hit sponge enemies) and jokes which feel only just a step above what you'd see in the Big Bang Theory
I speak lizardman now
>>3982056>more organic way of leveling up in this gameno it's not. and it used mantras because Looking Glass didn't design it to be an Ultima game at first. in Underworld 2, it went back to trainer-method used in Ultima 7.>>3982088>tfw simp ending>i should have collected the 8 crystals i guessthat is the ONLY ending. and there's no 8 crystals. i swear you're a very confused AI botposter.
>>3982088Some thoughts on this game:>story and writinglearning how to speak lizard is definitely the highlight here, i thought that was great. but otherwise, i felt that the writing was pretty weak. the circumstances for the setting are a bit forced and there are few (if any) memorable characters. >combatdespite a very interesting rune system and all sorts of weapons, you very quickly realize that for best results, simply swing your weapon repeatedly. after discovering the mantra for sword, i was basically never in a dangerous situation again. >character progressionyou stop leveling up at 16. i hit that somewhere around floor 5 or 6. but there were still tons of quests to complete and monsters to kill. i do really like the mantra system, which requires you to explore and find new ways to level up. but it would be good to be a bit more forgiving here. especially at the start, you don't even know that there are more than 3 possible mantras. >explorationi thought this was great. lots of hidden doors and tricky locations, a mixture of platforming, swimming, simple mazes and rudimentary puzzles. you had secrets that needed spells, secrets that used hints, secrets that were locked behind quests. i went in expecting a soul-crushing huge labyrinth, and i found a soulful bite-sized one.
>>3982142>You know what I meanyeah, i just wanted to ask you about the other games.
>>3982183I am not answering your banal question.
>>3982181ok blogger. now make a youtube video for it and post it for >>>/vr/
Tell me your favourite first person RPGs and recommend some more to others. Preferably discuss more forgotten and "indie" games. I don't want another bethesda or cp77 thread
>>3980728>The only 1st person rpg I've ever played were KCD4chan is an 18+ website.
>>3980823Idk i find that it can be really fun most of the time. I think they can be comfy
>>3980872Might pick it up soon enough desu
>>3981352KCD was released 8 years ago
>>3980900ok Moraff's World.and Dungeon Hack...>notice Wizardry in OP. >>3980723why didn't you play Cybermage, OPnon?
It's Monday once again. What monster collecting or monster raising games have you been playing? What upcoming ones are you looking forward to?
>>3981113They are fine, Dawn and Dusk are a bit grindy and have huge mazes easy to get lost.These issues were mostly aleviater in Lost Evolution but they introduced a new one because fuck you why not : evolution plated.Now you need to find the "lost evolutions" and play a touchscreen minigame to clean them under a time limit, its a fucking headache.Tip: just cheat, find cheatcodes online to give yourself infinite time and clean the plates at your own pace, if you are ok with that you will have a pretty decent game
>>3981799>aleviateralleviated*
>>3950595i enjoyed it, and got everyone to ~70 too.but the story and writing was extremely bad, easily the weakest link
>>3982113>but the story and writing was extremely bad, easily the weakest linkReally? I guess they can't make a good story for this series then.
name the rpg with the best evil playthrough

Just finished my first complete playthrough of this with ending D and Dark Priest and it was a lot better than I expected. If the community surrounding this game wasn't so retarded, I would've played this earlier. Thinking of replaying it to see what changes if Le'Garde doesn't die.
Marina and Samarie should've had their models swapped.
>>3982070I have combined 300 hours between the two games and never watched a video about them
How do I take screenshots for Steam? I told my friend that I got all the endings for both games but xe doesn’t believe me. There really should be some Steam achievements added in another update.
>>3982132print screen key + paste in mspaintbut when I post my screenshots people say I just got them from somewhere else anyway
>>3982076That would be insulting & transphobic
is anyone playing this?
>>3967117Go back to /pol/ xitter if you can't discuss like a rational human being.
>>3982058on torrents
>>3966879Someone in an rpg maker thread tried to sell it as Baroque + SMT and I think that's impossible, since Baroque is literally the greatest artwork of the 20th century so fuck this game or its fan for claiming that.
>>3982095i am heavily retarded, can you point me to a torrent site or a magnet link
I got through the first boss and think it was kino, but it's also bassbustingly annoying to find your way sometimes. In trying to be too much like retro SMT/EO it's kind of shooting itself in the foot, but I enjoy itAlso good themehttps://files.catbox.moe/xx42bl.ogg
