Uhhhhh the burden is on you to show how the one single infamously bad cosmetic robes are better than the famously OP armor that's explicitly designed to be very obviously the best armor in the game.

>>3887259
best armor is something crafted. Tesla is extremely niche and crippling if it runs out of battery power.

>>3887351
So we agree the best armor is not the fucking robes.

What's the 1024 thing? Why is 512 better? I never played through FFX but I will one day. I just hate unskippable fucking cutscenes SO MUCH you have no idea.

>>3884377
I don't remember offhand, but it's in the Gamefaqs guide. I like summons in this game but you don't really get to power them up until way too late. By the endgame they're only used to soak turns and get an overdrive off. This guy is much the same. But for his ultimate again I believe once you are rich enough it won't really matter.

>>3884377
It's a gamble and never guaranteed. He has a secret affinity meter you can max out and bosses have certain a resistance which makes them less likely to be one shotted. I think with max affinity and a couple of million gil you could attempt to kill a superboss but it's been a while. Just read a guide.

>>3884377
make him kill low level monsters until he start using zanmato regularly, then move to stronger monsters. Do this until omega's cave. If you do that you don't need to give him shit. Be careful, you lose affinity if he dies. Also i think the dog causes a loss of affinity but it's not a big deal.

>>3886829
if you max out your affinity he will zanmato any boss for a penny.

i've only ever done wakefield's, but that i still remember it fondly like 7 years after originally playing it (and maybe 3 years since the last playthrough?) says good things. the other ROs any fun?

Aine is fae blooded I'm pretty sure, but considering the werewolves were violently unstable and the Fae was keeping Aine safe and a requirement for you to get one of the few peaceful endings she's certainly not trying to ruin Aine's life for no reason. Fae are probably the hardest monsters to judge because they don't do the whole good and evil thing

I know Lords of Infinity recently released in 2023, but damn it feels like it’s been a decade already, and that reminds me:
Mind Blind STILL isn’t out
Shephards of Haven seems too ambitious, the author should cut back on the romances, or put them on hold and release them as a DLC or something
Triaina: Academy is dead (I assume)
Authors take too damn long to put out a game, or they abandon midway just to return to it years or even decades later, the genre is done for if this continues

>>3887337
jolly good cakes and ale trust the plan

>>3887336
>Fae are probably the hardest monsters to judge because they don't do the whole good and evil thing
That's just called evil. When Adolf Hitler protects you from a communist revolution, he is still be Adolf Hitler. The fae is a murderous monster by choice.

>>3866570
>Every single study of combat in history involves maneuvers to put opponents in disadvantageous positions rather than just trying to whack them harder
yes, usually involved range weapons or melee weapons with long range

>>3886153
The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand.

>>3866484
Wide arrays of weapons, armors, ect, that fill specific situational niches.
The death of this archetype is combat boiling down to "I hit him really, really hard", when the strengths lie in being in a position where you need to scrape for your advantages. You need to understand your enemy, and leverage their weaknesses against them. A good melee character should feel like batman, who needs to figure out what of the gadgets on his toolbelt will actually be effective here.

I really wish they'd just structured it so you have to opt-in instead of opt-out of doing the Redux stuff. As it is Alex just fucking kills you and then you get deus ex machina'd back to life by Redux content and not doing it feels wrong

Finished Disillusion, it was fun and comfy, though very simple gameplay wise. Also, the dev is definitely a local.

yeah the game has tranny vibes

Anon the vast majority of CRPGs won't have you knowing ahead of time that you intentionally walking into a graveyard. You'll just be exploring a big-ass area and stumble into it halfway through having expended all your resources already and some cases ambushed with no chance to retreat and prepare without savescumming.

>>3883701
I generally prefer Mana-based, but I also do like the Vancian D&D-style upcasting. Magic games usually have too much fucking filler spell-wise, just let me supercharge a spell for improved effect to keep it relevant all game. Maybe give spells additional effects at various supercharge/upcasting thresholds.

>>3883701
I like Vancian magic in a very specific dungeon crawler who's name escapes me at the moment. When you dive into a dungeon, your casters begin with a certain amount of spell charges and you have to completely ration them out over the whole thing. There's encounters with deadly enemies you'll need them for, times you'll need to use resurrection to continue the run, but ultimately you have to be careful with it all and not burn through charges too quickly.

Non-casters might have infinite use attacks, but their lifetime in the field is still tethered to the casters who can only keep going for so long. You try and use your fighters and such to mitigate long term damage, but some of it will bleed through and you'll need casters to fix it.

>>3887227
>Anon the vast majority of CRPGs won't have you knowing ahead of time that you intentionally walking into a graveyard
No, you often do, just like in reality, graveyards tend to be telegraphed and locals know about local threats. Going back to Pool of Radiance. But at that point, it's not a problem with the magic system, it's a problem of campaign design.

>Rejection of consensus with a simple line is an indication of critical thought.
You really do need some sleep.

I had some fun with it but didn't like the writing/some of the creative decisions or gameplay decisions. A few examples are what they did to Earth, not including mechs as a gameplay option but making them a prominent part of the back story, repetitive mechanics/unfulfilling mechanics such as base building and ship building (which is also janky), the fact that all enemies scale with you and become bullet sponges (BORING), etc. I felt a lot of the game was half realized/half baked or watered down because they either didn't want to deal with it, the engine couldn't handle it, or in the case of watered down/boring quests and designs they wanted it to be generic slop to appeal to a broader market. There was some promise but it did not reach anywhere near its full potential. Was it as bad as everyone made it seem on here? Not necessarily but I wouldn't say it was anything higher than a 6.5/10

>>3886999
It still wasn't good, and that's my biggest complaint.
I can stomach parts of a game being bad, but if there's nothing the game does that's good, it doesn't matter. And Starfield just has nothing worth slogging through on the other side.

>>3884786
Its pretty good. Worth a play.

>>3886600
i have been a gamer longer than 95% of the people on these boards, and i have never watched the video game awards. why do you people watch a bunch of journo nerds suck off a bunch of corporations?

>>3887231
It's the closest thing to E3 we have left. You get to watch new game announcements, shitpost with the /v/ros and have a yearly community event you can look forward to.
The actual awards are a joke. They shouldn't be taken seriously, fucking DA:I and TLOU2 got GOTY.

>>3887291
For me it's the fighting games nomination that's the funniest joke. One year they had Sifu, at some point they had Multiversus, this year they have a bunch of re-releases and a game in open beta. Now think about it, Hades 2 is nominated as a 2025 game even though you could play the beta last year, but 2xko is being nominated now that it's in beta even though it comes out in 2026.

>>3887293
For me, it’s soul calibur 2

The anime is absolutely terrifying. Not that crossdressing isn't a common trope in general, but it's baaaaad here.

The question isn't if they are good but if they are marketable. Distribution was never about being good or not.

It wanders offscreen constantly and drops the cursor when you chase after it. "functional" is the highest praise it deserves.

I thought Witcher 2 and Rogue Trader had good choices in their stories.
