Just picked up the Might & Magic series after playing through the old Bradley Wizardry games,they seem a little more "chaotic" combat seems to be random But I really dig these 80s sprites & MIDI soundfont really nice ambiance and amazing atmosphere,is it a dungeon crawlers or prototype RPG like daggerfall or morrowind?
>>3894783Kekles.
>>3895034>some Singaporean-sounding slob pretending to be a Japanese waifu pretending to like boomer video gamesWhom does this appeal to?
>>3895077It lets us fantasize that one day we will have sex
>>3894527Whatever are "moon letters"?
>>3895606I don't know, why are you asking me?
Majority of the map is a wasteland with DC tucked away in the corner. No clearly defined roads or paths. This is the way you do an open world.
>>3894184Well of course, Sawyer took that roadtrip and all those photos, and IIRC the map itself uses USGS data for parts of its construction3 is a different story, though and that's what I'm curious about. And personally, DC is interesting to me because of its clash of architectural styles like colonial and brutalist and rural vs urban. And even just how green all of VA and MD are compared to 3's desert depiction.
>>3894042I said - no living vegetation, which after 200 hundred years is just silly, unless Fallout radiation works in mysterious ways.
>>3883131>>3883120kys faggot
I have more fun actually playing fallout 3 then new vegas i enjoy the more open map but also i enjoy the dungeons and subway tunnels morekilling super mutants and ghouls is more fun then legionaires or vipers or fiends i don't know, I can't help but have the wrong opinions on this. this far out from new vegas' release i just don't care about better story or writing because I've played it so many times. yeah new vegas is a better game but if I'mgoing to sit down and play one of them it'll be 3. I just ignore the main quest, and oasis, and the megaton bomb, and all the other dumb shit, and the broken settingi put 1 point in every SPECIAL then take intense training at every level up and distribute it down the line, I barely loot anything at all
>>3883065If 3 had a genuine writer without severe retardation it would have been a good game. The exploration in this game is better than 4 and NV, (although NV was stuck with only 1.5 year of dev). If it had a good story too, it would be stop being meme Bethslop and instead be a game that people can like without worrying about looking like a retard.
Elements edition.Gears, Saga, Blade... what have you.Will Takahashi rip off Arthur Clark for the fourth time in a row?
>>3895435The vast majority of side quests don't give exp.
>>3895440Maybe because you played the remaster? Original gave you a shit ton of exp from side quests, to the point where you were seriously over leveled by the time you reached bionis legs. I had to use a code just to reduce the exp gain so bosses could be a challenge.
>>3895468DE didn't change any side quest rewards and yes doing them would overlevel you like crazy. De does accrue side quest XP in a separate pool like 2/3 though so maybe the other poster didn't apply the EXP in the menu
>>3895468I played the original and every sidequest I looked at gave a whopping 0 XP as the reward. They gave plenty of money, but money is worthless in this game.>>3895427It doesn't even get good then.

Don't tell me any of you *seriously* played it with a MALE character on your first main playthrough, /vrpg/. Surely nobody is stupid enough not to see that the storyline is female-coded as fuck, right? I mean...>Romance optionsI mean sure, Panam is the 'big' Chud consolation prize clearly inserted as an ad-hoc cliche bombshell fantasy which is pretty much all you need to ensure you pocket the money of your male userbase, but it really tells you something when the GYATT of a single NPC is pretty much the only existential justification for your main character. Other than sex scenes though, she's Bestie-coded as hell all while soapboxing ( Especially about her male father figure ), crying, dramatizing and gossiping about feeling for hours. She's canonically the firebrand hot straight friend gassing V up on a girl's night out, and we all know it.Other than that, literally every single other romantic interest or point of sexual tension/contrast is for female V, either explicitly or implicitly.Jackie: Just a little close-up dance at the club with a 'bro', right? You're just a little male damsel in distress who gets constantly taken care of and defended by big, strong, muscular Jackie. Just a casual tease at the ramen stand about how 'Ain't nobody who can resist this, am I right?' Come on, we all know what this is - No he isn't 'into' female V because he's also taken obviously, but he's basically her whiteknight.Meredith: So your manly man character is there to get pegged by Stout, is that what you're telling me? Respect, I guess.Judy: Self-explanatoryComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>3888153I didn't read your wall of text but yes I did play this shit as male.
for me, it was penis 1maybe i will do a penis 2 playthrough next
>>3888153I don't know the story of a game before replayed it and that is why I will always choose male
>another bump from page 10
>>3888154>I'm sorry, but Cybertranny won. V will always be a woman.I have no problem with that. I was intending to replay the game as female V anyways. But the game is such crap (and not even an rpg) that I havent even finished it as male V.
Are you ready for every JRPG for the next 10+ years to become Soulslike parryslop because of this game?
>>3889732If it makes them go back to being turn based, I'll take it
>>3889828>because they prioritize the japanese market firstNo they don't
>loses its GOTY award bcuz AI-sloplol, lmao even
>>3889732No. I hate normies for latching onto anything popular.
>>3889889>Persona 5 has sold 4 million copies more than Expedition 33.No shit, it's been out for almost 10 years. Expedition 33s sold 6 million copies so far. Persona 5 sold 3.2 million copies by 2019. If this keeps up it will easily outsell Persona 5 by the 10 year mark.
>item is required to progress>it's a random drop after the battle>is incredibly rare and found on a single floor
>>3895659Name 1 (one, singular) game where this actually, earnestly, sincerely, truly happens.
>>3895660Wizardry: Five Ordeals. Traveler's Property scenario.
i think you're playing ffxi
>>3895660Kodelka and the Black Cat's Amulet farming.
Don't tell me you actually do this
>>3875403why do you play a rpg if you don't?
>>3875403Dicking around in these ganes are part of what makes nostalgia so goddamn strong. If you're saying you never walked around the map and imagined your character taking a nap or that all of your playtime was spent pursuing the next objective as a kid then you're fucking lying.
>>3875403Doing this with SaGa games turn them from 5/10s into 9/10s
>>3884009Is there more than just Sentinel of Starry Skies with party creation? I couldn't get into the other DQ games people usually suggest with preset casts, but I 100%ed that one because I loved my party.
>>3875403>Just imagine you're playing a more interesting game
>Roman themed faction is actually Mongolia in how it operates.>Their enemies act closer to the Roman Republic right before they went Imperial.>Mongol themed faction is actually just Native Americans.You gotta admit it's kinda clever.
>>3895160Roman Republic wasn't "oligarchic", it was an aristocratic republic.They weren't relying on expansion to stay afloat, this seems like some lolbert nonsense that is also applied to nazi Germany. They just were fighting their enemies and were very successful at it.
They should have depicted the NCR abusing free criminal labor and questionable debtors prisons and that deep Legion territory really is stable and prosperous for added nuance. I wish the new vegas we got was as good as the new vegas that exists in fan imagination
My favorite part of NV was the infinite loading screen glitch that bricked my save file.
>>3895013>Coalition of tribes creating a single unified horde from many cultures, unifying an entire region and quickly expanding in all directions from that. All within a lifetime.>They are often barbaric in their conquest but in turn create profitable trade routes, while not exactly having grand building projects of their own, just a system based on warfare and conquestAnon, does this sound like Rome to you, or does this sound like Mongol/Turks?Not even taking into consideration that Edward himself was inspired by that crazy russian who wanted to be a mongol khan.
>>3895622It sounds and doesn't sound like both rome and mongols. These are very vogue points. Mongols were accused of being barbaric because they banned kosher slaughter and abrahamoids were butthurt.Mongols were an aristocracy, with mercenaries and vassals. Having a huge slave population is unheard of with pastroral nomadic populations.Eddie was inspired by ungern-sternberg? He didn't have a slave army either.
just got out of midgar
Don't listen to anyone who tells you to get Beta. You can get Aqualung not much later which is about the same MP cost and damage except doesn't require convoluted set ups and luck and also very little in the game resists water.
>>3895517Play GURPS, look at the Modular Abilities advantage on page 71 of the Basic Set: Characters book. You're welcome.
>>3895560And someone with Control materia.
>>3890714Who is the black mage of FF7?
>>3895567You don't need Beta OR Aqualung as soon as you can get them. The game isn't that hard. The point of getting Beta ASAP is simply that it's a fun challenge, especially since the plot tries to make the Midgarsormr seem unbeatable.
Does /vrpg/ like this game?
>>3884786FF13 for westeners. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.
>>3884850You could copy paste that outfit into any vaguely fantasy/sci fi video game from the last decade and it wouldn’t look out of place. There’s been a total death of original aesthetics
>>3886218LoP is a Bloodborne ripoff
>>3889434>>3889420>GOTY awardAnon, I have some bad news for you...>and by "bad" i mean "hilarious"
>>3895604Merry christmas, anon. I hope you're doing well.
Look Outside is pretty neatLots of exploration, plenty of detailed spritesCombat is pretty basic (RPGmaker), so if that's your focus you might be disappointed
>>3895360Oh is that how most people play? That's actually kinda cool, who you get might affect your playthrough so there's always variety too. Maybe I'll do that then.
>>3895459It's definitely quite a replayable game. Something like a dozen recruitable characters, and many occasions of dialogue between them. A similar number of endings as well. I'm on my second playthrough now with a completely different party.
Man, wait until people who shill this game play an actual good game like Enchanted Farm.
>>3895521it's called Enchant Farm you dumb poseur
>>3895521Gatekeep games better, otherwise they end up in the toilet, like F&H and BS.
I just got Starfang, should I keep Yusaris for dragons or is Starfang still an upgrade against dragons despite Yusaris' damage bonus vs them?My character is a Human Warrior built for two-handers.
>>3890256Just install mods.
What stat retribution for a DW dagger warrior focused on damage?
>>3895262Dexmaxxed and whatever cunning you need to max out your talking skill.
>>3893428I've heard this, but I don't see it being worth it. Wouldn't the fatigue add up a lot?
>>3895542I just use stamina recovery gear on them. Like the sword and shield you get in the return to Ostagar DLC
I am trying to write a simulation of a JRPG town with 256 characters.I now made a compatibility matrix of my npcs.Basically 256*256 npcs.Red means they're hostile to each other and green means they're friendly.This is actually kinda neat.:D
>>3895064>Need to later figure out the story engine>>3895093>I need to design a story first and design the dramatic events.I hope you already know what you're developing this whole system for. You even made a map for it!
>>3895052That looks like a very hostile town
>>3895106I have more or less an idea of what I want for the story.Basically something like inspired by LOST.
>>3895098holy cope
>>3895052You probably need a neutral state to have it be at all realistic.
After playing sum DQ vidya, DQ 7 was the very first entry that actually got me hooked, so hooked that I’ve just spent 7+ hours straight on my 3DS run (21 hours in so far). Imagine my shock when I discover people treat it like the “black sheep” of the series, because it’s “too slow”Outreageous take (for some of y’all): the game can be extremely fun and engaging when you let it take your hand and experience it bit by bit, instead of complaining like a retarded bitch
I really like 7 as well. I don't know if it's my favorite, but it might be. But I also don't like 8 as much as many. And I haven't played any past 8, so I'm ignorant of those.
>y’allOpinion disregarded.
>deus ex series>cyberpunk>alpha protocol>vampires: the bloodline masqueradeAnything else I'm missing?I'm looking for RPGs set in realistic/semi-realistic settings like cyberpunk. No sci-fi shit, no fantasy shit, no post-apocalypse (no fallout)I would also prefer if the games were 3D, no RPG maker tier crap
>>3895357>Cybernetics are actual scienceSure, cyberpunk is now science and is teacher in university.How do you even dress yourself without your parents molesting you?>>3895234>anon fails at basic reading comprehensionGrim (not a genre)
>>3895132how about cyberpunk with some fantasy elements? shadowrun series is great
>>3895175>Prey?Are you retarded?
>>3895132> realistic/semi-realistic settings like cyberpunk. No sci-fi shit, no fantasy shit, no post-apocalypse (no fallout)All of the games you listed fall into those categories. You need to specify what you want better. What is it? Sort of contemporary cities? Why not just say that.As it is all you will get is the word retarded posted a lot.
>>3895509>Sort of contemporary cities?Yes, but considering that videogames tend to avoid contemporary urban settings a lot, I decided I had to mention cyberpunk because it's the closest common setting to what I want.
