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
>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.
Musa of Mali
>>3698823will this game have denuvo?
>>3699260yes
>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.
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?
>think of Oblivion>want to replay>remember efficient leveling is a thing and its the only way I would want to build a character now.>dont want to do that grind>decide not to replayI know its a self imposed problem, but I cant help myself.
Are the Dark Sun games any good? I want to try some of the old SSI pixel games and I know about this setting from pen and paper gaming. Is Shattered Lands or Wake of the Ravager better?
>>3696994>modern CRPG revivalWTH is that? Do you mean there's an OSR-related video community that makes old-school games? Where is it? I want more hot barbarians in tight bondage leathers!
>>3696155>Are the Dark Sun games any goodnot really, they are kind of just infinity engine games but worse. like if you're the kind of retard that likes bioware games you might soiface and think this is a le hidden gem, but it is pretty objectively bad.
>>3699226why are you taking screenshots of youtube recordings of twitch streams
>>3699231Why are you asking dumb questions on an American copy of a Japanese imageboard?
>>3699226>no boxes or bags in inventorywhat a scrub
whats that? no Ultima thread on /vrpg/?lets fix that.as a series it started badly, it ended badly, but the middle section is GLORIOUS.Ultima love, right here
>>3699051Whoever made that awful thread is why I stopped discussing ultima lol
>>3699051That's a secondary thread.
>>3699051what a harlot
>>3699054>>3699062If this the real Ultima thread, could someone explain >>3672585 to me ?

Which game to start with? Are the games easy or hard (I do not care either way just curious)? I dig the art style and feel curious about it.
>>3675811just play them in order, also, despite how nice it looks 4 is a borefest gameplay wiseits got the front/back thing but the whole game feels way too undertuned for any combat decisions to matter
>>3697782I didn't read your spoilers but it's fine, right now I just got Garr. Leveling up is pretty hard in this game and looks like the members in the reserve don't get shit. Getting new skills is a pain so I've been ignoring all of them. Other than that this game is pretty fantastic.
>>3675811Only 3, 4 and 5 are worth playing.4's probably the best start. It's a solid PS1 JRPG with a cool oriental aesthetic. 3 is like a Dragon Quest game, just a really long story of not much happening throughout.They're both 7.5/10 JRPGs of that era.5 is when the series actually starts to get interesting, but it is genuinely most of the most divisive games you can discuss online. It's hard to recommend because of how love/hate the reactions are.For me, personally, 5 subverts the establishments in the series, so you shouldn't play through that first. The battle system, story and replayability are way above previous entries.1 and 2 are painfully mediocre SNES RPGs. They play like RPGMaker prototypes and you'd be better off reading a synopsis on Wikipedia while looking at images of Katt, wondering where her vagina is underneath the fur.
>>3698980BoF3 is a game in which you don't really have to worry about your levels too much outside of trying to get skills from Masters, but once you've made a determination that you're, largely, not going to use a character for combat it is to your benefit that they don't get shit in terms of EXP. After all, if a Master needs you to have to gain 6 consecutive levels in order to learn a skill? That Master couldn't care any less if that was levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 as opposed to levels 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28, but it is so much easier to move from 1 to 7 than 22 to 28.There's also a Master by the name of D'Lonzo that has a skill you can learn from her called Monopolize which purposefully gives that party member and that party member alone all the EXP if they live to the end of the battle.Examining all the possible skills from enemies is a lot like Final Fantasy blue magic: truly, a mixed bag.You have a whole host of elemental strikes that are only as good as enemies that are weak to that element, and as cool as Wind Strike looks? ... there is not a single enemy nor troupe of enemies weak to wind that you'd bother using Wind Strike for when you have elemental AoEs at your disposal. Meanwhile Frost Strike can do some work if you got it during the Arena, but not essential, just nice to have. A skill like Influence seems practically entirely useless until it becomes the cornerstone of a couple strategies, and then you have skills like Unmotivate that does absolutely nothing useful.Glad you're enjoying the game. Will be eager to hear your thoughts as you progress. It's my favorite in the whole series.
>>3690993What do you really do with Breath of Fire? If you reboot it, you have to make it familiar and so they'll take the aesthetics from II, III and IV and wrap it in a layer of Blue Dragon/Tales of Arise/Dragon Quest XI.The problem then is that Dragon Quarter pushed the series forward so much, that falling back on the nostalgia of III (as VI did) feels shallow.It's the same conversation as, "How do you reboot Grandia/Wild ARMS/Thousand Arms?"
"Pillars of Eternity was chock-full of writing styles which experienced writers tend to advise against," he said, his nose twitching. He glances to the left, then the right, then up, then down. You notice one of his sleeves is a slightly different shade to the other. "In fact, you could say that the writing of Pillars 1 was bloated, and constantly interrupted the flow of -" he paused, yawning loudly and scratching his backside with a lazy pawing motion - "dialogue. Like people don't need to know - " time seems to slow, and you feel that once upon a time in another life, this man was a farmer "- a bunch of useless details to get an understanding of who a person is. Where you meet a person and how they speak can communicate it with good writing." He said, wearing a rag-tag tunic, frayed pants, and with a slightly unkempt beard, hinting that he was some sort of peasant.
>>3698882>you done goofed.nahat the end of the day it's still>your upgrade breaks some shit you never promised to supporttough luck, but it never had official supportI would even be more inclined to side with you if modding was indeed a big part of the game, but it's not the case
>>3698888>wasted quadsYou’re assuming that it was indeed an upgrade. I’m arguing that it wasn’t. Can you even tell me what was in the patch without looking up the patch notes? I doubt that anyone here can.
>>3698888NTA, but I can't believe this got quad 8's. Absolute bullshit. >>3698882 has a pretty damn good point. Mods are an important part of games and while yes, you are correct, they generally do not carry official support, they should still be recognized as important and considered in any venture that's going to be fucking with a "finished" game, especially a game that's 10 years old with a sequel. Sure, you can throw him the "you built your house on sand" bullshit, yet we all have used mods to our benefit and to throw all of that under the bus just to make a point is stupid.
>>3698903>>3698910yeah well I don't see quads on your poststhis means you should just accept I'm right at this pointhey I don't make the rulesbut no really your whining doesn't make any sense, the older build is easily available, so you literally have nothing legit to complain about.And even was it not the case you are using a non-supported feature, it's your responsibility. Keep an offline copy of the correct build GoG distro or some shit. It's your problem.
>>3699167>>3698755>I just reverted and rolled backReally reaching hard to have something to argue about, hmm anon?
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?
>>3699151Bravely Default. Fantastic job system with a decent enough challenge on hard mode. The boss rush in chapter 8 was 10/10.Too bad about everything else the game has to offer.
>>3699151Oh hey, I began playing EO5 little while ago. I really enjoy it though I have a feeling that my skill tree building isnt good enough for bosses. But I havent even beaten the first stratum yet so I cant say its my favorite 3DS RPG. But EO4 is definitely it until I have beaten 5.
>>3699151This is a 14 year old handheld at this point. It's kind of sad to imagine the hulking obese retard that's sitting in his mom's basement fiddling with this tiny thing full of little kid games.
>>3699154I don't get how Stella Glow gets such glowing praise here when it is so utterly mediocre. Its functional I guess but other than dicking the villain its got nothing going for it when its competing with top tier games like Devil Survivor and Fire Emblem Echos
>>3699206Echoes is boring gameplay wise too. Beautiful presentation.As for ST, I like the song system for witches and basic importance of movement options (jump, flying, range) without going overboard with esoteric mechanics, and has the best overall plot and interactions from the Luminous arc style games. Not a high bar, sure. It's a 6.5 game I like.
It's once again AE's birthday month. Do you have fond memories of their games?
>>3698805>is AQW worth playing in 2025?artix games are all worth playing imo, albeit they do get very grindy later on. aqw is probably the best game for f2p, since you can do almost everything that there is to do.
Did you guys beat the new super boss?
>>3698809Do people actually let you use the Ultra Boss viable chronoclasses now?I remember people being fags and screeching if you're not using the same comp as an outdated two year old or so guide.
>>3698585They were never good even the old milt stuff, nostalgia goggles just blinds everyone to the truth.>>3698794>only female armor is affectedGood>>3698902It’s the most standard “appoint a guy to taunt when the text shows up” there’s nothing to I got all the quest items in under an hour. Granted they look ugly af.
>>3699064>They were never good even the old milt stuff>>only female armor is affected>GoodMiltonius has condemned you to wander in the void of faggotry forevermore.
its the best Dragon Age and its time to accept the truth.this game is glorious. its slick, its well designed, its polished and its bug free.the exploration is fantastic, its a thing of beauty.its time we had this conversation /vrpg/. its time to stop lying to yourself.
>>3698962thats what I was looking for, you are judging me on a game you've not played, but based on the opinions of others.
>>3698836The only true thing you've said is that it's (largely) bug-free. Perhaps now that the game has finally been released, after being stuck in development hell for a decade, they can move on to something else and hopefully not fuck it up this time.
>>3698970Nta, but why would I even give it a try? The characters look repulsive and I am not the target audience.
>>3698970No, based on footage, screencaps and information about mechanics.If I wanted a mediocre action RPG with shitty dialogue and characters, I'd play a copypasta JRPG.Less trannies and faggots most likely too
>>3698836This bait is so lazy it might be mexican.The really amazing part is how it takes the worst aspects of DA2 and DAI and truly combines them to be the worst Dragon Age there ever was. >the exploration is fantastic,I wish this game actually had any amount of exploration.What it has instead is the constant backtracking and revisiting the same handful of areas like Dragon Age 2 and utterly nonsensical layouts of cities to trick you into thinking the areas are bigger than they are.Its just shitty corridors again.DAV is an unintentional comedy. The parts of the story that are supposed to be funny iritate you and make you cringe and the parts that are supposed to be srs business & sad make you laugh.
2024 has been and gone. Are (You) going to make 2025 the year (You)'re game or demo is finally complete?
>>3696928Appreciate the kind words.>why new outfit for shu?I’m testing alternate outfits being displayed during Party Chats/Skits. 'Tales of' games usually only show the standard outfit, but I think it’d be cute if, for example, Veronica wears a Bunny Suit, it’s reflected not only in her sprite but also in her Party Chat/Skits portraits.>release soon?After the third continent, it’s time for DAIMA WONDERLAND.That said, maybe. I updated the build today, and the feedback has been good so far.

>>3696747O-oh. That Ruina. I-i knew that. I was just pretending not to know.

Favorite game?Favorite soundtrack?Favorite girl?Also posts some hard to find Urushihara art if you have any

dump some art goddamnit
>>3697529>should I play the remake for langrisser 1 and 2?
>>3697716Man I love these 90s japanese western style armors.
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.
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
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.
>>3699145The devs really should have made an original series to avoid this.
