What's with all these posts attacking morrowind lately?
>>3936871todd is terrified of anything competing with tes6
>>3942452>Has better rpg elementsSo what does this mean, precisely?Is roleplaying anything relating to stealth actually better in Morrowind? A pickpocket? Assassin? A hunter chasing deer?No.
>>3942452>It's just that the game isn't fun. You either exploit potions and spells to become OPStopped reading here

>>3941096nice, thanks
>>3933593guys is the thread haunted?
It's a new year. How is your AQW/DF/whatever grinding going?
>>3942474Thanks anon. I'll try taking a few shots in-game and put them in pureref. I appreciate it!
>>3942474I'll start grinding harder than my nun.
>>3939947You're supposed to enjoy the story
>>3942846>Book 1 is stale AE jokes>Book 2>Book 3 is half written by a teenager edgelord that wasn't being paid, half by some woke faggotScraping the bottom of the barrel here
>>3942846I did and it's pretty good, if not extremely disjointed and rushed with two separate civilisations that don't really have a reason to exist in the narrative (yet, I guess). That + a bunch of sidequests only gets you to level 50-55 by the end and you need like minimum 80 for Time Inn apparently. Not to mention if you want to fight the Extreme versions of bosses or use the DOOMED difficulty for enjoyable small enemy encounters while doing all the side content you need a lot more levels than that.
Riviera looks like peak “friendship is magic” dialogue-spam snoozefest JRPG Atlusslop, which is why I’m 12 hours deep and actually having fun.JRPGs bore me. I hate menus and I don’t grind. I don’t care about anime-trauma bonding.So why does limited items + VN pacing + weeb aesthetics hit so good this time? Explain. Also, recommend more JRPGS that will make me hate the genre less.
>>3925281>Be peak mid-2000s anime, when good, dubbed anime games were a novelty>GBA game comes out, has limited voice acting>Anime-ass anime story>Anime-ass visual design>Peak anime-ass musicI don't know why someone today would love it, but back then it was rivers in the desert. The first time an EX attack played>That sound>The screen wipe>The anime-ass hero image>That anime-ass catchphrase>The fucking flavor text and the way it comes onto the screenFuck. So good. Hooked immediately. If you were the kind of person who knew what an Obari pose was this shit was like a mental nut every time it happened.
>>3941179Say "anime-ass" one more time.

I started the PSP version and that has to have been without question the most insulting tutorial I think I've ever seen in a game.>Use health potions to heal. Press these buttons. Continue to breath oxygen.
PS2 JRPG that pushes the genre forward: check
>>3940627Pushes the genre forward where? Into a sewer?

>>3940627Grandia by Square Enix isn't Grandia
>>3940778No but she was totally down
>>3940627Is this worth playing if my free time is limited or is it just there for NEETs who have already played all the really good ones?

>>3941828>hot blooded one be the healerI'm pretty sure that was the radical idea behind him.
>>3941821>He's also the most popular hero in Japan by fargrim
>>3941821Popular enough to get a manga of his chapter made by the original artisthttps://archive.org/details/nearfuturecol1/Vol.%201/https://archive.org/details/nearfuturecol2/mode/2up

>>3941828>hot blooded one be the healer,psyker powers are magic. and other than him, there's only the cuck hero and ninja who can do magicky thing.
Finished both the first game and Tie just now and wanted to discuss it. Despite the first game being pretty bare bones gameplay wise and the second one being way too easy with how many ways to get overpowered, I genuinely loved these two games in a way I hadn't felt before in a long time. Great OST, girls are cute, themes of friendship done in a way that doesn't just feel like stale tropes, Tie in particular really was able to capture that feel of summer vacation coming to a close especially I got closer to the end of the game. Wish there was a future for this series but it seems like the mobile game was a gigaflop and Mel Kishida seems like he's moved on. Anyone else have thoughts?

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?
>>3942906I played through WotR at release on core or regular hard (I forget which) with a custom party that included a fire blasting cleric and a lightning blasting wizard, they did fine and wiped shit out. You get abilities later on to get through enemy resistances
>>3942959>to get through enemy resistances... and convert immunities to resistances. Elemental builds like kineticist ones are viable, yes.
>>3932208It objectively isYou got a billion noob traps feats, a billion backgrounds (you'll use 3-4 btw), a billion homogenized subclasses that just devolve into "this feat better" or "this one more feats", mandatory dips into monk in higher diffs etcand you have to juggle all that with choosing a mythic path at which point you'll have to choose between RP or take a serious blow to your min-maxingIts a hassle and the first game I had no problem looking up guides for, especially since 90% of the builds play the same in the end : Stack AoOs, stack Pre-buffs, right click thing with a caster dispelling shit, outbloat the bloat the game throws at you. ZZZZ
>>3928114I'm playing through Kingmaker on normal. I'm fighting the troll and tartuccio in act 2, i'm buffing to kingdom come and its still difficult. I'm still failing. Am I just shit at the game?>>3925366
>>3925439I’m glad there are competent videogames for this system so if anyone comes to me wanting to do min max crunch shit at my ttrpg table I know where to direct them>t. DM
So is it an immersive sym or an RPG?
>>3942445Susan gives the impression she's stringing you along, but I can't rule out she's just genuine with an attitude that creates the same result.Jeanette causes problems on purposePick your poison I guess
>>3942073>What is deus ex then0451 game.
>>3913779Stealth is also not a genre, if immersive sim is not a genre then stealth is not either.Metal Gear and Dishonored and Hitman can be completed with full blown action and chaos, thus making stealth a gameplay choice rather than a genre.Genre is a broad thing.

What if all genre designations for video games are just listing features that might have a strong or weak presence, or even be optional
>>3913704>immersive symlmao, the y is just the icing on the cake, 8/8
What are you taking?For me it's Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest VII and Wizardry 7.
>>3942979In retrospect I really need a party building game, but I can't decide which one
>>3934865Tales of Maj'EyalBinding of IsaacDiablo 2 (original)I have to be pragmatic and choose for replayability

Am I retarded or is it almost always the best option to just do a GF summon? I can't tell if I hate this combat system or if I'm just awful at using it
>>3941690Both. You're retarded and as a result that makes the GF the best option.
>>3941690That's how I played it as a kid and only got stuck on the missile base boss and the final boss
>>3941774>Summons are probably the worst for damage. That depends, are you spamming [] to boost damage?Come end game they're still useful for tanking damage, if you slip up and need someone to take the hit.Cover>GFCover>DefendIs a handy way to protect your other two party members while they sit at low health and spam Limit Breaks.
>>3941690Summons take too long. You should play cards, avoid leveling up, refine items and magic, then attach ultima to attk or break or demi to stats and life to HP and bum, you are a machine that can constantly limit break of just one hit win by turning enemies into stone on hit. (if demi is used instead it´s a 2hit win, one to deplete life, one to card)
>>3942126trueTriple Triad is the actual real game, they just built a JRPG around it for fun
Maybe I just find it easy to connect with this game but I'm kinda sitting here in awe of how well the visuals, music, story, and gameplay work in harmony to create a beautiful piece of art that is also a fun, chill and deep jrpg. Like I'm listening to exposure from the ost and it's literal waves of various emotions building up to an unbearable pressure that washes over you because Sam canonically remains in control of himself. There's legitimately a looot, a lot to say about the creative expression within this game that I'm not even going to explain it because the effort would be wasted on anything other than a well produced video essay that will earn me thousands of dollars (or that is plagiarized by a bigger channel to make them tens of thousands).
I think Greg Bear's Blood Music may have been an inspiration for Look Outside.
Frankie is unironically considering making a Look Outside dating sim
>>3942336>I wish look outside could as a setting exist in other genres>Monkeys paw curls
>>3942340>>3942336I know it won't be like that but I'd actually hope for it to introduce a fuck ton of new characters instead and not have any from the base game. I think it'd be a lot more interesting than a dumb dungeon nights game
>>3942905>>3942340https://www.youtube.com/live/3fr9naG9SCk?t=6805sThis is where the discussion begins. TL;DR it would still retain the macabre/survival horror theme and probably even take place in a bad ending as Eric suggests at some point.
What's the verdict on the early access?
>>3942707It's a game for heterosexual, based men. So /v/ and /vrpg/ won't like it.
>>3942711>just wait for DivinityI got burned by BG3 being a shit game, I’m not getting burned again. They learned nothing from their mistakes and failures, and took their giant pile of money and laughed all the way to the bank.
>>3942866>It's a game*demo
>>3942873Early access is tomorrow and EA reviews/streams are all over the place right now, nigga.
>>3942877EA is selling demos.lol, you're fucking dumb
So the two discolikes, zero parades and esoteric ebb, anyone else feel weird about them?I didn't like them. Am i being unfair or weird about not liking any of the disco likes? Ebb I feel is so easy to know the DNA of it, that you feel you know how it was approached to make it not disco elysium, I know which skills and elements it wants to lift but I am not interested.Zero parades just feels off and uninteresting? It feels like catching a movie that you don't care about, it's headache inducing. The skills and everything there.Both games really want to cast and have Harry but they just can't sell it. I don't feel like both characters are justified in trying to copy Harry, the so random and pathetic options don't come across as honest. It's dollar store Harry. I just don't know why. The skills and settings are uninteresting, the quality of writing is inferior.When i played DE, I was in from moment one, I just liked it and kept playing. I replayed it over and over. The copies dont grab me like that
>>3938087>genre of glorified VNs for pretentious and autistic redditors
>>3942509She is volcel femcel. You should not be surprised.
>>3942581Why are you on /vrpg/
>>3942699He likes RPGs, not CYOA stat games.
>>3942688>volcelShe's quite literally a femcel entirely, a volcel has more cerebral reasons than misandry though she was fun enough to interact with
>Heh, this Hero of Gothic doesn't even realize what rich and adventurous back story I ha-ACKHis last thoughts before you killed him for his overpowered one handed sword.Apologize.
>>3940984They literally cant do shit past Gothic 3 fail after fail. THERE IS ZERO HOPE it would be good.
>>3941662The remake is not made by the same studio.
>>3936457They did it to fit the expansion's name
>>3936137>marvin in chapter 1sucky sucky five dorra any quest you want>marvin in chapter 6rip and tear, until it's done
>>3942009Other way roundAnd I'm ok with it. They wanted to make one of the old camp guys the bad guy, raven is an obvious choice. Gomez and Bartholo have dialogue where they start fights, they should be canonically dead. The rest are fair game, but Raven is more intelligent than Scar and Arto and not sympathetic like Thorus.
