So I'm doing the challenge to beat all 3 games on Insanity in the LE, and I just beat ME1 tonight, 100%ed the content, moved on to 2 and did a little bit before stopping. Ok either ME2 becomes some serious bullshit later but insanity feels no different from Normal so far, this feels so much easier because how ME2 works is that you always get your shields deleted really fucking fast. Maybe it's FASTER in Insanity, I don't know, but I immediately beelined to the Kasumi loyalty mission since you can do it at the start for the stupidly OP Locust SMG, and the gunship fight felt no less bullshit than always.Meanwhile in ME1 I would pingpong from being completely invincible and dying in 1 hit because a Geth Destroyer ran up and smacked me in melee when Push/Lift/Stasis were in cooldown, I had far more instances in ME1 where I would just randomly die because of being so much as grazed by something that ignores barrier
>>4046225>So I'm doing the challenge to beat all 3 games on Insanity in the LEWhat you're describing is not a challenge run. It's more like a standard run. If you want to mix in some challenge restrict yourself from selecting any red and blue dialogue options. Also no renegade and paragon interrupts either
>>4092612>What you're describing is not a challenge run. It's more like a standard run.In 2 you're correct, in 1 Insanity is some serious Kentucky fried bullshit.
>>4092163Its weird, because I found 1 pretty manageable (not to say I didnt have some deaths) on Insanity but 2 gave me more trouble and then 3 got a bit easier againWhat class are you playing?
Well I beat 2, and I will say the hardest enemy in the game on Insanity is, without a doubt....Husks.Forget Harbringer-enhanced CollectorsForget Geth PrimeForget enemy VanguardsForget Scions and PraetoriansApparently all the Reapers needed to win was get 3 or more anorexics who ignore the cover system and run up to sissy-slap you to death, because on Insanity they're given an armor layer and thus can't just be killed easily with biotics.>>4093055Sentinel, though I've switched to Soldier for 3 and if it all goes t'll make a separate Sentinel save.
>>4094361>Husks>anorexics who ignore the cover system and run up to sissy-slap you to deathYour first mistake is underestimating Raper tech. Even one Husk is strong enough to eat two gorillas for breakfast, but Lorewise their greatest strengths are every Human the Rapers kills is one more Husk for their army combined with the fact that many Humans will hesitate to shoot at Husks knowing that abomination used to be his mom, wife, sister, daughter or etc until suddenly she slaps your head clean off in the fucking blink of an eye!!Your second mistake is not knowing how to fight Husks. Mordin's level 4 area Incineration Blast can quickly strip off all armor from a pack of Husks. From there any biotic attacks, cryo-blasts or neural shocks directed from Shepard instantly kill Husks while their bars are red. For the record Area Neural Shock is generally the best ME2 bonus power for any of Shepard's 6 combat classes, perhaps higher tier than ME2 Warp Ammo

I cheesed Mabel in my run so finally actually getting to see her summons is neat, even if LIG at depth 12 looks like it'll be a mite annoying to deal with. Currently about 430 floors deep and only missing one spell.

You cannot argue in good faith against this masterpiece. It is objectively the greatest video roleplaying game ever created, and honestly probably the best video game ever created. Why do Millennials hate fun? Why do they hate the West incarnate?>The last Oblivion thread is still upGood, now there are two good threads on the board. No other RPG is worthy of discussion at this point.
>>4094293>cannot argue in good faith against this masterpiece. It is objectivelyStopped reading here
>>4094327Good man. Clearly you know a quality thread when you see it. Thank you for bumping so others may see the obvious truth as you did.
This game should not have been allowed to bear the name Baldur's gate.Don't get me wrong : it's still a solid game but story-wise Larian made very little efforts to connect it to the Baalpawn saga.Even worse, it blatantly allows itself the luxury of ridiculizing two of the most beloved characters of the franchise.Can we finally admit the truth?
>>4084218>>4084400Yea, trust. It isn't a bird's eye view. Its just a view of what a bird would see perched atop where ever. Or perhaps above the player like a bird/drone would have a POV of.DOUBLE L for both of you.
>>4084400>>4084218See>>4084455
>>4038807I like all three but I view them as separate, loosely connected games and I think it actually worked in favor of the series too. It makes the series varied and interesting and gives you three mechanical and narrative takes on the sword coast adventure. I do believe BG3 is the weakest of the three though, but not to the point I'd disavow it as a part of the series

One of my dudes died in the first encounter because I didn't understand the controls and I continued playingAm I cooked chat?
>>4090130no, you'll meet new party members.
You'll get more companions than you can actually hold onto, and the ability to raise your fallen companions.
>>4094219>>4092635Thanks, I knew about resurrection but I read that it's only available way later.
>>4094340I wouldn't say way later, but it does take a bit. I think it's around the fourth floor. When you start running into spiders, you're very close.
What're your favorites?
1. Final Fantasy VI2. Chrono Trigger3. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade4. Pokemon Platinum5. Unicorn Overlord6. Tales of Vesperia7. Radiant Historia8. Suikoden II9. Parasite Eve10. Fantasian
>>4063161You just need to finish 10.
>>4060717I haven't played that many, most were handheld games I had as a kid. In no particular order: I'm more of a cRPG guy but I've been trying to branch out.Riviera The Promised LandStar Ocean: Second Story RDragon Quest 5Mario and Luigi Superstar SagaOkage Shadow KingFinal Fantasy 1Final Fantasy 5 (I played this recently, loved it)Fire Emblem: The Sacred StonesGrandiaOdin's Sphere I've only played about 15-20 of them, so I'm open to suggestions for what to play next. I've been playing Tales of Vesperia and FF13-2 (my ps3 died so this one is on pause)
I tried making a list, but honestly I cannot distinguish games I genuiely enjoyed more back in the day vs games I remember more because of arbitrary reasons
Is Parasite Eve an RPG?https://youtu.be/AyUqCxSSkEk
1: yes2: no, resident evil clone3: sort of, mostly an action shooter iirc
>>4093298pretty much
>>40932831 is, 2 arguably much less so
will this remake finally fix 3 being the weakest in the romancing series
>>4093661And what exactly did the core battle system in ROTS rebalance or improve coming from the OG, outside of maybe remembering to fix Hell Claw and Wind God Sword's damage multipliers a whole year after the game released without actually making them relevant in the system?>Commander Mode is a completely different battle system that you need to balance the entire game around as wellLook, they already remade the entire battle system from the ground up into something completely different from the rest of the series without needing any reason to do so, then they noticed (as I already mentioned days ago btw) that you can't have CTB and Commander Mode in the same game they just swept the latter under the rug because they clearly do not care about the original game at all.What's next, they remake Frontier, remove racial mechanics or monster forms because it's too much work and you'll keep clapping like a seal in the name of imaginary balance? I don't know about you, but I don't play RPGs for the balance and these games aren't an exception, I play SaGa because I like its formula and these people keep messing with it.
>they have problems balancing one combat system>so certainly the way to go is to have two half assed systems instead of oneAt least they're honest enough to admit that they werent up to the task. L M A O
so can I start by playing RoSaGa 2 remake? Or is there a better non-boomer entrypoint?
If commander mode is out I'm not playing. It's fun, it's unique, and it has meaning in the story for some characters.
>Commander Mode absent in the remakeSo, what does this mean if you have Sara as your main character?

I clicked the video just because well, noxI didnt expect all that though.
Just booted it up, it connects to those multiplayer servers no problem, you just log in as if you already had an account
alright but really where are the Nox gawds.
Never played online but this was a cool singleplayer game. The wizard was by far the most fun class. I loved how you aimed spells by using the mouse to rotate ur characters direction felt satisfying when you nailed a dude with a heavy spell
>>4093705>felt satisfying when you nailed a dude with a heavy spelllanding death ray was always really satisfying.the online is nominally playable right now (not that many players but more than there were for years occasionally)
So far the following balance tweaks and polishes will be in the next patch:>Morton has his ultimate item, the Puzzle Box>Papineau gets several defensive/healing and offensive skills that use cleaning items in your inventory>Calm Dan buffed, and the start of a stream gets more viewers based on how well the previous one did, however Beg For Money will reduce the maximum amount of viewers you can get>Dan's quest will permanently increase viewership>Sophie has increased ballistics and critical hit chance when hiding, and the damage of special marbles scales with level>Ambush will do more damage depending on how many status effects the target has>Coral Slingshot added to the flooded apartment: +45 ballistics and additional luck>All marble locations in the overworld will give special marbles in addition to normal ones, including the new slingshot in the flooded apartment>Hellen's Soul Feast will only target enemies, and both it and Soul Drain will be stronger>Massacre no longer removes the stalk status from enemies>Fallow Will will make weapon skills cost more STM>Unmask has been buffed to only hurt, confuse (40%), and stalk (80%) enemies, but costs 4 STM>Hellen is immune to the Soulless status>Grim Harvest does more damage, correctly applying the HP-reliant damage with the max health instead of the halved max health when the skill is usedComment too long.

>>4093080Shit never left sea bottom
>>4093024>It was unnecessary to reveal what happened during the miltia incident to the party
>>4094044Never said that, but revealing it through pseudo-time travel where they try to affect the events but it still ends up being the same just made it annoying more than anything. Unironically just let Shion watch things play out as a movie while you play as another character who was actually there at the time (like young Shion) and I'd have no issue with it.
>>4094250Actually alternatively, Shion being stuck in her younger self's body, powerless to change things and reliving and remembering her trauma would also be a hell of a lot more interesting than the weird alternate chain of events that didn't actually change anything important that they went with.
How fares thee campaigns?Wrapping up ch 3 Lawful on a new run and just finished my dragon collection. Fucked up and read the warren report at the wrong time and missed Ravness, so gonna have to chariot back there before moving onto Chaotic(even if she is a filthy Galgastani). Just doing a casual run through, no no-incaps or anything. Fun stuff.Did get a zombie earth dragon, which sounds like a neat idea... but Im just not a fan of non-human units (Canopus gets a pass, honorary personhood) How is the new FFT? Really interested in it since I love the voice acting in Reborn, but I can just whip out my ps1 if I feel like playing it.
>>4094027Excuse me, there’s a problem with your thread. This game is not an RPG. It is a combat and management simulator for estrogenic gooks. Please delete your thread and remake it at /b/, or better yet, on R*ddit where it belongs. This is the board for role-playing video games.
>>4094027How is the montamer run? Difficult to set up?
Close to finishing Fell Seal Arbiter's Mark, already clocking in 66 hours. Probably only two missions left, but the game is just handing out side missions left and right.I mean, it's cool that there is so much content, but damn. Probably never play this game again (it's pretty good, doesn't mean it's worth a replay), so I want to do everything that there is.Main characters are overleveled for the main story, then so many other characters are lagging behind because fuck grinding them as well. Then there is that one side-mission that I recently unlocked, just 2 vs 2, the main character + the other girl vs two evil monsters, and the enemies start with high initiative, another starting round, buffing each other and attacking both characters before I even have the chance to do anything. Feels like this mission needs a particular set-up, but I don't know if I have it in me to grind both characters through even more classes.
>>4094106Like Beast Tamer Denam and using only monsters? You get Beastmaster's Marks super early, but moght wanna use Canopus sometimes to get faeries too.

Vyse is the best JRPG protagonist.
>>4085485>But Vyse's problem is that his lack of flaws makes him seem boring compared to his own supporting cast, simply because he's not written very well.He is written well, he's a hero who overcomes any obstacles in his way. Even when his pirate fort is destroyed he just shrugs and says "No big deal, we'll just build another one." He has a confident, cheerful personality without being an overconfident idiot like some JRPG protagonists.If Vyse was a mopey faggot with flaws the game would be worse for it, it's like giving Conan the Barbarian flaws, it would ruin what makes him fun.
>>4080875>The hero undone by his fatal flaw that will inevitably bring about his downfall but is so inexorably tied to who he is that he stops being him without it, is a staple of Greek tragedies.That's why the archetype is called "tragic hero", numbnuts. Not all heroes are supposed to be like that.
>>4085505>it's like giving Conan the Barbarian flaws...but he has flaws. He's hotheaded, his amoral pragmatism means he often makes morally bad choices that bite him down the line, he has this tendency to suddenly break down into melancholic fits about nature, etc. Have you ever read the actual Howard books or did you just see the movie?
>>4078216If only the story of the game wasn't retarded
>>4066282Wrong answer.
God damn this game was dogshit. Pure California fantasy-slop from start to end. Not a single redeeming quality. Avellone hasn't produced a good game since Planescape: Torment.
>>4079665Wait, there's beast-girl sex in this game?

>>4093947RTWP is strictly superior over turn-based combat, since it makes everything faster and allows for far less cheese.Turn-based combat is preferred by subhumans, by retards, by biomass, by animals-in-all-but-name. These deplorable tasteless freaks argue that “turn-based combat allows for better tactics”. What they mean is: turn-based combat is EASIER because I can spend eons thinking about my next move, and/or how to cheese it.If you’ve ever enjoyed a turn based game you are a retard. Imagine going to war and taking turns with the enemy to shoot each other. How fucking stupid are you?
I actually enjoyed it
