>>3865835Ultima 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.

Why did RPGs peak in the late 90s? Why is this fucking planet and the human species incapable of producing kino RPGs anymore?We maybe get 1 every couple of years. What the fuck is going on? I've played everything that's worth playing. WHY AM I FORCED TO SCRAPE THE BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING BARREL?WHY THE FUCK AM I PLAYING VAGRUS?

>>3868624>The budgets are too high - and teams too largeThat isn't actually the case. It's that if a dev studio is part of a large company like EA it more and more turns into>unless this game makes an asronomical amount of money, regardless of it being profitable or not, it's "not worth" investing inIt'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.

Its almost 15 years old.
>>3868300it is, but you're a retard that let modern game design gaslight you into thinking the overall narrative of a game had any value beyond acting as a backdrop for the gameplay, audio, and level design.
>>3868850So what are the mechanical strengths of Dark Dawn then?
>>3868888Its literally the same as the first two games mechanically speaking just new level design and new classes.If you’re gonna make a disingenous argument like that then call every other gs game shit and if you do then now I know that you’re just here to shitpost and not take you seriously.I recommend FFXVI to you btw, excellent “rpg” for what you look for in them.
>>3842422Nice projection fat tranny
>>3841629I 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
>game has dialogue choices>actively punishes you every time you don't take the nice guy dialogue choice
>balding character in old JRPG are always the bad guys>currently balding myself>people are losing interest in me and stranger are less empathetic to my problemsMaybe theyre on to something.

>>3870274I knew what C.H.U.D. was before it was a meme. Where’s your “media literacy” now, faggot?
When did you realize the remake in the title was a double entendre?
There was already a mod for PC FF7 called Remako
I dun git it.
Do some Obsidian fan enjoy The Frontier? People say it has stupid dialogue, but in that sense is like some quotes of New Vegas too.
it was ass, wasn't hated enough
>>3869869It was not fine. I played it Day 1 before the hate and even then I thought it was terrible.
>>3869541Why did this thing get all the hate, while picrel was praised?
>>3870216The only thing people praised about NC is the introAlso here's some modding drama i found out while looking at the posts in the NC Nexus page
>>3869541FO3 has just as much shitty dialog as NV but you contrarians never bring it up.
>gear that provides out-of-combat bonusesTerribleHorrible designNobody wants to equip their hat of +2 speech before a conversation, or a thief vest of +1 lock picking
Bethesda weren't very serious when it came to their games back before Skyrim, you played Oblivion? Goofy ahh game
>>3870165Serious has never been a thing in any Bethesda game, lil' wannabe git.
>>3869010>>3869678>roleplay... in... in a... A... A... ROLEPLAYGAEEMMMM??????I hate modern humanity so much.
>>3869010I feel like this is one of those problems that comes about as an unintended consequence of having essentially infinite inventory spaceperhaps also from time being meaningless?if you have a magical lock picking vest, sure, it makes sense to carry it around instead of any other useful itembe careful, though, while you're putting it on you risk a monster sneaking up on you>>3869761>Getting dressed up for an important conversation is completely in-character for Fallout.this is true. but imagine if you had to go back to your room because you can't carry everything with you and you can't just change your pants in the middle of the street. you would probably not bother for trivial conversations, but you would definitely do that to prepare for more important conversations, and it would feel pretty immersive. if you care about that sort of thing

>>3870146>only exists as a cashgrabwelcome to Trails
>>3870149It's good foreshadowing, but not that important that we needed an entire game for it.Everything else important 2 did (mostly last Geneses) could've been put into Kai.90% of Kuro 2 is filler.
I liked the Coldsteel games but Daybreak was one of the worst RPGs I've ever played in my life. The story sucks and the gameplay is braindead. Even the soundtrack isn't good.
>>3870207>gameplay is braindeadcold steel was so much more braindead once you realize how broken evasion was in those games.Also soundtrack is great, don't see how you can dislike it, Grendel Theme might be my favorite "epic moment" track in the series
>>3869883I tried Scarlet Grace Ambitions but it feels like I am missing something.Was I supposed to rotate my party members?and what does Emerald Beyond do to make it better?
Releases on PS5, Xbox Series X, Steam, (and hopefully Switch 2) in 2025.WE ARE FUCKING BACK, DIGIBROS!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npVx8cNyDe4
>>3717946Digimon has decent success as a multimedia franchise, the stuff outside of gaming does well enough. It's not sell-a-thousand-of-every-plushie level buts it's alright. Better off too honestly, no need for it to become a soulless skinwalker like Pokémon.
>>3866417Nah, it deserves to be a BIG JRPG series though.Hopefully Time Stranger is the beginning of this.

>Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road17 days remain between us and the best sokka game in the history of gamingDid you played the beta? Or any of the DS/3DS games? Have you watched the anime or read any of the mangas? What are your favorite characters and techniques? This is probably the only game I've been excited about in ages and I needed a place to talk about it. Hopefully it lives up to my hype.
>>3869860>yaoi bait genderbendThis is literally the theme of a lot of Victory Road chara designs. They look like Demon Slayer characters.
>>3869875Too poor to justify spending an extra 10 in literally nothing>>3869911It's going to be the best game ever. I have never been more hopeful
i just hope the gameplay is fun enough without the touch screen gimmick
I hope you can sex the girls
Daily Inapost updateFuracão de Fogo edition8 days remaining until peak
hey you guys Im really not sure what I should play next. jrpgs are my favorite genre by far but theres a ton of mid slop mixed in there. Ive played all the FFs, DQs and Star Oceans, as far as tales games go Ive played Symphonia and Eternia which were great but I didnt care for Vesperia for some reason. Im looking for games that are different than the typical jrpg in some fashion, have memorable writing, story characters, good atmosphere and good level design especially. I hate games where every dungeon is the same generic cave filled with dead ends. fun battle system is a plus. also I cant stand SRPGs.games ive played in the last year that I really loved:>Parasite Eve>Vagrant Story>Threads of Fate>Dragon Quest VIII>PM TTYD>Earthboundthanks in advance
>>3862407earthbound moment
>>3862358I will wait for the second remake
>>3865326Emulating the Saturn version with the English translation, widescreen hack and the crt-royale filter is pure bliss.
>>3862355>>Dragon Quest VIII>>EarthboundPlay Popolocrous Monogatari for PS1. It's another really soulful cartoony styled JRPG like these but not many people played it since we only got the shit PSP port. But they're all fan translated now.
>>3862355>No mention of LunarLunar Remastered Collection.>No mention of YsYs Origin, Oath in Felghana, and Lacrimosa of Dana.>No mention of TrailsIt's a huge commitment so I'll just recommend Nayuta no Kiseki. >No mention of Growlanser PSX getting a translationPlay Growlanser 1 with the new English translation.For something new I really enjoyed Witch Spring R.
Which game won the war? Which is actually better?
>>3867226Are you insane? It’s literally the most by the books boring ass fantasy art but with Star Trek Aliens.What the Shit are you talking about.This is just retarded pre rendered graphics Millenial nostalgia isn’t it?
Deadfire couldn't recreate any of the things that made PoE compelling, it actively shits on the established story and it reeks of 40-year-old cat lady.DivOS 2 on the other hand I couldn't bear to play past the tutorial, so it's Deadfire for me.
>>3869781you were supposed to build all phys damage
>>3869449that makes more sense
>>3868018I have played every divinty game and i could not tell you what the world map looks like.The druid healer town of divine divinty thats like 3 guys with 4 buildings is a giant capital of millions of people and medieval skyscrapers in like 60 years by divinity 2
> immune to melee> your magic attack is shit> need to spam shit magic attack that miss> no wavemaster for big dick magic damage> wears party down to focus him> kills your whole party while you are busy with other targetsfuck Halloween
>>3870034>this frustrates the Human Warrior spammer
>>3870034Oh, boo-hoo, cry me a river, won't you? It's not as bad as the fact most developers love placing enemies with complete magic immunity into their games to even further pander to generic warrior lovers. I have no pity or compassion for you. Get fucked.

What's the best build and difficulty for first playthrough? Some people were telling me dominating and just playing slow
>>3867252he makes some pretty sick breakbeats though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeMASi7IGrU>>3867255yeah these are just placeholders, i imagine he'll be getting the guy who did the music for Heavy Duty, which was still decent.
>>3866877what the FUCK is that hacking mini game, am i gonna have to learn bash scripts in order to play the fucking game?
>>3867471yes and for the next mutagen puzzle you will have to get a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and molecular biology
>>3867471play a hacking typing game called Hacknet to prepareor just don't level hacking, whatever
