Undertale Yellow's 2nd anniversary is right around the corner. Do you think the devs will do anything to celebrate again?

Some unfortunate news for deltarune fangames:
A few months ago two games were completely deleted from Gamejolt, being Scampton the Great and The Upper Hand. This mostly went unnoticed in the community as it happened around the same time that chapters 3 & 4 were released.
Supposedly one of the creator's gfs was abusive and/or a groomer, and the other creator deleted the pages to teach them a "lesson". There wasn't even a public announcement or anything, so the drama mostly faded into obscurity.
Currently the only download links for both are on reddit . Shame things had to go this way.

>Supposedly one of the creator's gfs was abusive and/or a groomer, and the other creator deleted the pages to teach them a "lesson".
Wait, so someone the creator of one of the game's knew was bad, so the game made by the creator got deleted? What? Were these events related, or did they just happen around the same time coincidentally?

You are unable to explain why I'm not correct.
You are a failure.
You disguised your last "argument" in ad hominem, because you're too much of a lazy, insecure faggot to make a real point and defend it.
I extracted the kernel of a point from the ad hominem anyway, and clarified the original point in response, explaining that I do not count DkS2 because it was not made by the original team. I could elaborate more, and explain more how DkS2 fits into the analysis, but why should I bother? Instead of responding with a real counter-argument, you have just reverted to lazy, empty insults, confirming that your stupidity and ignorance.

Recently I played through KOTOR 1 and 2. While I have minor gripes about those games for small odds and ends I genuinely loved the stories despite normally disliking most Star Wars shit. I was offhandedly told that SWTOR is a sort of follow up to them. Any truth in that? Would you recommend to anons who liked KOTOR 1/2's story/characters?

Ultima I is the best starting point. Simple gameplay and controls that carry on through the early series. II may filter you. III is great, but may filter you with a grind that seems overwhelming if you don't think a little outside the box. If you can't get into IV after at least finishing I, the series is probably not for you at this point in your life.

It's why games like the successful Dead Space remake had the team shuttered. It made money, just not insane amounts of money for it to be noticeable on EA's yearly reports.

I liked this game well enough. I replayed it a few years ago after beating it when I was 13, and I thought it held up well enough. The characters are very cute, I like they're a tight-nit group of friends who care about each other. Being unable to reach regions mid and late game and the plot ending without resolution bothered me though.
I never played the OG two though, they're back in my backlog and heard they were nice

>Every questline must have multiple redundancies
That means the killing doesn't give any agency.
Skyrim is fucking 14 years old so it is hard to remember the various ways they do it but I think the basics are having any objects you could get from an NPC by talking to them be obtainable from their corpse and being able to simply go directly to a fortress and chance across prisoners without needing to have talked to some NPC to be told to save them.
Like you can have a wanted poster and a bounty office and a bunch of NPCs telling you to go slay a monster but the monster should just be there whether or not you see any of that, and if you find the people after they should still reward you.

>>3870291
No I'm saying the exact opposite. All this wrpg vs jrpg or turn based vs action and all the rest is nonsense. People play multiple games and these arguments are trying to force them to be the same which can only mean a smaller audience.

I don't hate Fallout: New Vegas, but sometimes I notice some unnatural lines:

"A free woman. It's... been awhile since I've seen a woman who wasn't a slave. I forget myself -are you injured?"

Something like “A free woman, are you injured?” would be enough. I already know the Legion enslaves women — show, don’t tell. I get it!

I think The Frontier did even worse, but some dialogues in New Vegas are also a bit bad. Still, I like NV’s writing overall. But is afar of being perfect.

The entire Fallout New Vegas dialogue has things like that, this was just an example.

>You're needlessly picky with your gripes.

Yes, it is true. But at least I just did a 4chan post and not a 4 hours essay in YouTube.

"A free woman. It's... been awhile since I've seen a woman who wasn't a slave. I forget myself -are you injured? Because, as you know, women in legion lacks of rights, is not like RNC, women here are mistreated, and also, there is no feminism move, as you can see, so therefore, I'm being slaved by the opressive machist cesar's legion, were again, the women has not a single previlege of being free."

neverwinter modules really are the best for this.
Best I remember was chapter 1 of the prophet, once it gets started you go on this huge journey with your comrades without spending too much time in one spot.
It really does feel like you've gone a long distance by the end of it. That feeling continues in the other 2 chapters but not quite as strong imo, more time spent in cities or big dungeons.

Roguelikes and roguelites not welcome

Recently finished Makai Agito.Its a SMT clone made in RPG maker. It ran like shit despite that for some reason. Its on the easy side difficulty wise and the level design is serviceable. I would recommend it if you have nothing else to play since you'll be done with it in 20 hours or so.
