Quasimorph 1.0 cooming 31st of Julyhttps://steamcommunity.com/games/2059170/announcements/detail/687509549434800393
>>3998259based based based based
>>4010875i played rift wizard 1 a lotwas 2 good? looked like more of the samedidn't know they made a 3, looks a bit different at least
>>4010891Largely the same conceit, but much tighter and way more emphasis on pure combat (i.e no more potions/items, spells fully recharge each floor).3 has an equipment crafting system now that works really elegantly. I didn't like the changes from Rift Wizard 2 at first, but honestly I'm starting to like 3 the most.
How is the Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake?
>>4009127I'm pretty anti-remake generally but I think it's good (and also that the SNES version was an improvement over the NES version)DQ3 lends itself to remakes actually being improvements since the gameplay matters so much more than the storyIt adds a new class and some nice QoLThe one thing I like more about the NES version is no personality mechanic. I think that shit's stupid and messes up the flow by making you have to reroll your party members at the start if you want optimal stats.
>>4010307Also best personality for hero is locked to female only
Shit like dungeon maps and full restore on level up is massively gay and makes the experience worse.
>>4009127as a dragon quest expert i can say it is both satisfying and unsatisfying.to nobodies surprise the newly added class has an extremely overpowered ability that kind of wrecks the games balance. other than that it's ok i guess. the early game "challenge"(forced backtrack for heal) got removed but the later game was beefed up a bit to compensate. there are pros and cons, a more regular difficulty curve and simplified death mechanic, but better balanced in most ways, if you ignore the new class, with some post game stuff added.definitely worth playing if you are a fan of the original or series>>4010319>bestpersonality is a lot less important in this remake(reachable stat caps), also you can get it on your male hero anyway later on
>>4009127I had a lot of fun with it, especially once you get the boat and everything kind of turns open world. The map is so big and the towns are so atmospherically distinct that after a while it really starts to feel like you're just trudging across entire continents. Then you get to some far-flung town and some dude at the pub tells a story that reveals your dad was here in the past, and suddenly the world feels connected again.Modern players shit on this game for its simple structure and sparse story, but those are both assets, imo. Creating your own party and getting immersed in the world (and turning the motherfucking objective markers OFF) really makes this feel like an adventure. Maybe not a story, but definitely an adventure. And that's what a JRPG should be.
The pathfinder series is a kino vrpg of the highest order. And I've never pretended otherwise. We all know all good things come in three !So, when will Owlcat deliver a third game?
>>4009556Ma cavalery wasn't fully assembled and hitting yet. I'd lean more to Midnight Fane and Abyss.
>Angelkin Aasimar>Bloodrager Steelblood>Abyssal Bloodline>Background: None (Unknown)>Deity: Iomedae>Lean into Angel, start Cam's romance, start Arue's romance, fall into Demon, rise into Legend, kill Cam, marry Arue.
>>4010673>Human>Paladin>Iomedae>Angel path>Romance Camellia to completion (don’t forget the scrolls of atonement along the way!)>Legend as penance>Intentionally reject secret ending
>>4007077>>4006904Just a small observation made today on /v/.15 poststook 3 hoursthread had to be necromanced by the community manager several times.I think it's safe to conclude people on 4chan are not actually owlcat fans.They are 40K fans on /v/.And they used to be d&d/pathfinder fans on vrpg.But the mythical owlcat fan does not appear to actually exist.
Has anyone here ever tried it?
warhammer blah blah 40K rogue trader or something editionI know turn based makes sense for this franchise, but real time with pause would've been more realistic, or you know a shooter rpg so we could actually enjoy the heavy guns?
>>4010458Space Hulk in particular is based on a tabletop game and does feature dice-based RNG mechanics
>>4010458>Why does FF need ATB>Why do Tales games need RT combos>Mass Effect is not an RPG by this definition, same for Deus Ex, Bloodlines, etc.>By extension, neither is Dragon Age since you shoot projectiles from staves and bows there>Why do you need to dodge encounters in Chrono TriggerIDK the path of the purist always seems bleak even though I followed it myself at times. Autistic tunnel vision is no way to go through life.I'd love another Mass Effect for example that wasn't sacrificed to EA and shitty leftist propaganda in the end.You don't "need" anything but personally I want more things that are fun.
>>4010261>>4010353Inquisitor: Martyr, snacktually.
>>4010714I wanted to like it, but it sucks. What completely killed it for me was the utterly arbitrary “power level” of gear, where even if a piece of gear had good stats and was strong for your build, if it was outdated and had too low of a “power level” for a mission, lol whoops now you only do half damage and take 2x incoming damage or whatever dumb shit it did. A totally pointless and arbitrary grinding treadmill.
>>4010658the inquisition taught me many things, but most importantly that mass effect is normie slop
Cyberpunk 2077 gave me feels
>>4009602that's a real biowoman. or so i assume because i am not gay.
>>4004593Same.>https://youtu.be/kmt8WmTenVE>>4005958That was gog-games by the way.>>4006000A private tracker it seems.
>>4009270A pleasant surprise. The first one was really good.
>>4010557>A private tracker it seems.all you need is to register, no email verification requiredso called semi-private
>>4005932I liked it way more than I thought I would. I'm desperate to play something similar but nothing else is really scratching the itch.
Haha...
>>4010459
>>4010372>Censors neonazi
>>4010372>was 14 in 2006>just remember playing Dragon Quest 8 a lot back then
>>4010779it was already censored when I got it, I think it was from some Discord meme channel
>>4010782What a good days
This is where our son is who thinks FFV is the best because of the little "job" system.Ain't that silly? Be easy on him
>>4009297>in this board
I don't have anything against it other than the final stretch being kind of draining, but everything I liked in FFV I liked more in Bravely Default anyway.
>>4010212Story is lackluster
>>4004946sadly the games after 5 don't even have gameplay because they are so easy you can win without tryingrather than the job system or anything that's probably the real reason
>>4010212FFV story is decent at best. Pretty average by FF standards.Pretty good compared to other JRPGs though.
Why do zoomers treat this as a hidden gem now? It's literally the negative elements of Morrowind and Skyrim with none of the positives.
>>3935360If you had to pick a default class to complete the main quest, what would it be? Asking because I hunger for a quick playthrough.
>>4007152worked fine for me in vanilla. its a non issue with mods and oblivion has the best combat mod too
>>3992591*everybody* in Cyrodiil has a potato face.There's a fix for that.https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/43752
>>3995751Detroit Gangbangers don't have obivion gates opening up all around them with Daedra pouring out carrying rare gear either.
>>4010615>not playing as the INSTALL BLOCKHEAD racegit gud
The game will be called Sentinel.Set across both Hammerfell and High Rock, you'll restore the Empire to its golden age by defeating the Thalmor at the Battle of Adamantine Tower.Expect massive naval battles, castle and stronghold building, and the return of Morrowind's spells and magic system.Absolute kino
>>4007571>t. didn’t tag speech
>>4007567What the hell are you talking about and how's that work as a reply to nothing growing in the Capital Wasteland you utter schizo.
>>4005079Something that doesn't waste my time with fluff content, unskippable cutscenes and unskippable dialogue. I swear Skyrim now is just 5 seconds of click-A-to-continue questing bookended by ten minutes of walking to the nearest door (Or worse, following a scripted character walk as slowly as possible to point B) and waiting on load screens. So what I'm saying is I'm bored of video games now and I just run ProgressQuest in the background while I doomscroll and shitpost my way across the internet.
>>4007639>replies "nothing rises" as a reply to "rise as a great power">I-It was a-about growingFucking retard. But let's be charitable and engage with your retardation. Project purity gave them clean water and even killed of some mutated lifeforms like Mirelurks. Rivet City and the BOS also know how hydroponics work. They could absolutely grow food.

What's the best version of Dragon Quest 1 2 and 3? NES, SNES, GBC or the modern 2DHD ones?
>>4010764Why do you prefer the NES versions. Havn't played any dragon quests before but am looking to start.
>>4008799NES.
>>4010834The only "quality of life" stuff missing from the OG DQ games are shit like easy saving and save states exist. Play the originals.
>>4008799i like nobs translationlady lora4lyfe
>>4010838to add, the combat system is rly snappy in the GBC ver toowhich is pretty important when thats like half the game
What is it that made the world of Fallout resonate with gamers so much?
>>4009799If you're being reductive sure. But it's the small moments for me. Like during the BoS quest you can warn the ranger of the bomb collar. You don't even have get the bomb collar put on. After they strip you, you can run to a room to the left with a nearly broken super sledge than fight your way out. You don't even have to do that, they can say strip and you can say no. They even put a terminal near the entrance to hack all the turrents.Or you know, you could have Veronica and bypass all of that. The games not perfect, but they give a decent bit of agency on how you play it. The best example of this is Arizona Killer. There's only 1 real goal. But they give you two unique explosive checks, two science checks, a repair check, and all sorts of ways to enable killing him conventionally from providing sniper towers to being able to manually shoot down his vertibird incase he's getting away. The biggest shame is that this quest is locked to the worst route while it's more boring counterpart is in 3/4 routes
>>4009747Maybe Dragon Age origins
>>4009747For someone who likes Morrowind and NV, I'd say VTMB is essential. It has a bit of build/path variety and it's nowhere near as big a game, but the lore is rich and the vibe is juuuust right. Otherwise, Wasteland series has some nice plot/decision elements, some nice build variety, but again the environments are quite small in comparison. Stay away from Outer Worlds, it might look neat, but that shit is shallow garbage.>>4009918I tried it, but all the NPCs just bored me to tears.
>>4010256>Wasteland series>seriesI’d say there’s approximately 99% odds you never played Wasteland, and about 50% you never played Fallout
>>4005916>The Empire in Skyrim has lost control of 5 provinces, and is losing control of a 6th one. It is in ruins, all its nobles are corrupt and weak, major cities get pillaged by common bandits, they are enslaved to a foreign power and have done nothing but decay for 200 years. Yet subhumans keep pretending it's just about to recover and everything is fine.You don't understand bro, the empire is totally gonna turn it all around any time now bro, don't pay attention to the fact that the entire fucking premise of the Elder scrolls series is that the Empire is doomed to fail and the Septim dynasty could only temporarily postpone the eventual collapse and that motherfucking Talos himself manifests to the Nerevarine and tells you that the empire is far too fucked up & corrupt and needs to be destroyed. Just two more weeks and they'll totally fight back against the Thalmor, trust the plan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIGwhzDGzIg
>elf is pissed at the local guildmaster for what he did 8 years ago>he's at a loss (and so is the party), since 8 years ago, she asked him to wait 8 years>she's so angry that she forbids her daughter to talk to him>later in the game>turns out the party went back in time 8 years, and the guildmaster confessed to the wrong elf, causing the "real" one to mistake him for a two-timing son of a bitch while the future one realizes that he actually loved her the entire team>tell him to wait 8 years>back to the present>she tells him that her daughter is actually his daughter as wellI fucking love RPGs. You never know what kind of fucking wacky shit you're going to witness.I just wish I had the patience to play them regularily.So question, what was the last time a RPG got you laughing at how absurd it got? Not in a mocking way, mind you, more in a "oh no way I could've predicted that" way.Bonus points if it's a really obscure one.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
The enemy spawn rate IS TOO DAMN HIGH
and that's a good thing
>>4006143>JRPGs>spawn rateYou mean the encounter rate?
>>4006143Wouldn't be a problem if fights were fun and rewards fitting
There's a sale going on, so I picked up a few titles I haven't played yet. I don't really like FuRyu games though.
>>4006537>as characters most of the first GHC were really annoying imoIsn't that the point though? Both the good guys and the musicians were all heavily flawed people.
>>3978500>dude, what if we do Alice, but edgy, AGAIN
>another new game
Furyu at least has the balls to try new stuff. Half their stuff sucks but I'm always interested to see what it is, unlike normal stuff like square, trails, etc which is all clone bs.For good games check lost dimension, kind of a valkryia chronicles mixed with Danganronpa, cool villain and story.Crymachina was cool too, the psuedo philosopher henchman girl was funny as fuck and better than 98 percent of other jrpgs NPCs.
>>4010638Too expand, lost dimension was really damn good despite its jank. It was random who survived so in the true end you end up with like 3 team mates you have to build up (seperate skill trees) and being forced into less ideal characters actually made it fun.Plus the story resolution was super sick.
Best DLC for New Vegas.
>>4006836>exploit"Exploit" is hardly the word I would choose. Kimball and Caesar are just so desperate to suck the Courier's cock that they are willing to give him a second chance even after ruining their nations killing billions
>>4006847It's an exploit, no amount of weasel logic will change that.
>>4006868>weasel>logicYou say that as if Kimball and Caesar aren't illogical weasels with massive brain tumors. It's not exploiting the game mechanics at all. It can only be considered an exploit in the sense that Courier 6 is being a dick by exploiting the trust and admiration of the NCR and Legion. Like if FNV were non-fictional scenario, not a video game, and the Courier nuked them under the logical assumption they'd quickly forgive him he wouldn't be exploiting game mechanics because it's not a game he's just taking advantage of their confidence in him. Whereas a game mechanics exploit would be like cheesing all of your skills to level 100 before departing Goodsprings which would not be an available option irl
dead money and its not even close.
