What's the easiest way to play the first 3 (or 4) games these days? The remake's art design looks like hot dog shit, and I refuse to set up DOSbox, and deal with that retarded mess, along with save files potentially not being recognized or getting corrupted.Generally something that appeals to the laziest bastard out there.
>>3853825>get promoted>have to sell the literal clothes off your back to pay for it Did Trebor really?
>>3853835They don't call him the Mad Overlord for nothing.
So when's Wiz 6 finally gonna get modded to have more than just gray bricks through the entire game?
>>3854686Play the fan-translated Saturn or SNES version.
>>3853831>Everyone who could draw like this is dead.Well point me to a tutorial and I'll start practicing. I currently struggle with stick figures so it'll take a while but I'm not going to stop until I'm the next Frank Frazetta.>>3854686I laughed out loud when I finally got out of that starter area and realized the whole game was going to be the same gray bricks. I think there's a text box where the game describes a beautiful mountain range stretching out before you, but of course visually it's just a black void with the same dungeon textures on the sides of the screen. I thought "man I can't wait to start Wiz 7 and see some colors again" but I when I finally got to it I couldn't get into it for some reason.
How do u feel about cat folk in RPGs?
>>3844039
>>3849371Anon….. that last one is a real cat
>>3850977A real cat is fine too
>>3851014Unc wilding
>>3842838But the one from Octopath is cute.
arcanum is the only crpg i know were literally every plot major character & faction is retarded (spoilers)>Panari fail their ONE JOB and become a cult lead by their enemies>dark elves literally just believe Kerghan with no evidence hes Arronax, and he realised being a nazi was cringe decades ago>Nasrudin does literally nothing but wollow in self pity>elves do nothing and the queen is a lazy schizo>dwarves & Loghaire are self explanitory>Molochean Hand does no review of their employers and end up serving the literal same guy they rebelled against in the pastis this peak writing or also retarded?
>>3853873>Look how resentful Caine is here, how heated he gets.Because his own mother was telling him she's less of a person because of how she talks, why wouldn't a person be upset at that? Are you just completely disconnected from the society you live in, do you ever fucking go outside?
>>3853959That's not at all what his mother was saying, he's just saying she met someone of status, the same way someone probably brags about meeting Michael Caine, or why he posted in the first place.Oh no, someone respects someone for spurious reasons! The horror!Do you go outside?Grow up.
were the models/sprites in arcanum done by the same guy who did the fallout 2 sprites?they both have that kind of shiny look
why play this over the infinity engine rpgs?
>>3855114why play an rpg?
What's the best build and difficulty for first playthrough? Some people were telling me dominating and just playing slow
>>3851406if you're a noob? idk whatever. I went normal, 10 WP, 10 INT, 3 everything else (maybe 4 Con? i can't remember how many points you get) with Paranoia and Snooping for rp. It's a shame there are basically no opportunities to rp in the "rpg."If you want something fun.>balors hammer (or just any sledgehammer)>18 strength>rathound regalia, rathound BBQ (strength buff + mobility)>tabi boots (mobility)>whatever you want from therejust come up with an idea and try make it work. Idk about starting on DOM. maybe hard would be better but I haven't played in a while so I'm not sure. I just went normal then bumped up the diff as I got better.>>3851767>the intended experience is scrounging around core city for 5 minutes just to level up twice>then do it again for foundry but only for 3 minutes this time>actually, just do it the whole game cause you never know when that random barrel will have +1XPif you're a noob it's annoying and feels totally random. If you're a vet and know where all the oddities are it's an annoying task you have to complete every playthrough. Oddity is genuinely so fucking ass. I'm playing a game about killing shit, that's 99.99% of the game, let me level up from that.
>>3854212hammers are solved, anon. apparently you can ignore all advice and just stack STR/CON and enough points for will to get stoicism, and you'll just laugh off literally everything the game throws at you. hammer wizard is a meme.
I am the one person who cares more about the story and worldbuilding
>>3854596I tried that and got assblasted in abandoned waterways and anything other than strongmen in expedition. It was alright then just super plateaud too early
>>3851406I only beat it once and I did it without solving the final boss puzzle by investing in crafting and higher crits.
>hardcore aimless sandbox/warfare RPGMan, I’m pretty amazed with the scope of this game, especially as an independent project. All the jank and shittiness of the engine aside, it’s a pretty marvelous achievement (not to mention fun as hell).
>>3854966Cry moar.
>>3854814Most I can just ignore as being unintended jank, but I really just dislike that there is a grind on certain things like research and crafting skills. If there was a more extended progression of what you need to build it would be one thing, but I always feel like the game comes to a screeching halt when it becomes clear that the best way to improve your squad is someone making bandannas and heart protectors for hours
>>3855066>the best way to improve your squad is someone making bandannas and heart protectors for hoursIt isn't though. The base building is a trap, you find much better stuff around the world and can't even craft the best weapons. All the base stuff should've been scrapped, it's really poorly made. Grind isn't the problem, it's how shallow the simulation is.
>>3855072You don't need a base to do that. You can set up everything you need to put out masterwork items and unlock all the research just buying a house in a place like Stoat easily, but if you want to have a group that's more than just a couple people it's better than just scrounging around or savescumming in front of armor king or whatever. There's also certain things you'll just almost never find, like masterwork chain mail (not chain shirts)And base building is only a trap in the sense it keeps you busy. I consider base events more interesting than a lot of what's out there.
>>3855082I never research shit or worry too much over masterwork perfection in every slot and beat everything to death with ease. If you have that kind of dedication to forming a super squad, I'd think you'd enjoy the research grind.
Hey! this game is pretty good
>>3853464
>>3853469welcome back anon. I hope you're enjoying the game. I really liked it. That's a good part of the game where you're at right now
>>3853473Yeah, I'm enjoying it a tonnot that much free time though
>>3853464>>3853469>finally find a happy, sane place>know it won't end well>ends even worse than expectedgood game

i keep getting these things instead of the man-eaters how am i supposed to get the giant root?
bold of you to think people play good jrpgs here
>>3854623What makes lunar good
>>3854105I vaguely remember getting stuck here and I think you are supposed to just keep battling and hope you get the correct encounter.
>>3854105wow I really shouldnt put my penis there
>>3854629Nall
Why are the old Personas (1 and 2) such niche shit? Not fun enough?
>>3855014if i try playing 1 or 2 again im going to use cheats cause its retarded
I liked P1 on psp, solid game. P2 ps1 has a really bad metagame where fusion spells are overpowered. This game desperately needs a rebalance/hardtype. Great story and charactersP2ep big improvement allegedly I havent played it yetsnes era megaten is painfully mid, SMT4 is peak. PS2 is solid
My only real gripe was I had to go through the battles on double the speed because each fight, while easy as piss, takes forever, and the encounter rate is way too high. Honestly I think I’d be fine if the encounter rate was just lower.
>>3855019This is every retro jrpg
>>3855019They upped the encounter rate for the PSP version.
Discuss ye blobbers, dungeon crawlers and other assorted dungeon games in this threadRoguelikes and roguelites not welcomeRecently 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.
>>3854753And more recently Legends of Amberland 1 & 2
>>3854820Yeah, it was pretty cool, but it'd have been much better if it had you control a full party instead of a single character.
>>3853466kys
>>3854796You know, when I saw the name I thought it was going to go for the pun and actually take place in an old school. Maybe it's haunted or something.

It's not an RPG but any time the topic comes up, I think of this fucker."KEEEP FIRE-ING!"
Would anybody be interested in watching a hardcore run of a character with no mercenary, all self-found gear?
>>3853451is there a point? they stopped updating the game for 2 years nowif i wanted the new runewords i'll just buy them off traderie or one of those bot p2w sites
>>3853492Its somewhat fun to start over. Going to try a different class this time. Went with bowazon on last season. never tried sorc so gonna give it a go now

This is the best game ever and shit all over almost every other JRPGIts the only game I want a proper remake of, I dont care about apocalypse but they can include its story too if they want
>>3851467the fuck is humanity's full potentialhate gnosticism
>>3851265Maybe, I dunno. My Nanashi was a support, and a much better one than Assahi at that. And I found the partners to be kinda unnecessary most of the time.>>3851309You will never have your 15 y.o. anime waifu, anon. Accept that.
>>3851265>Doesn't Asahi massively suck as a goddess in massacre because she doesn't get her awakening healing powerup that basically turns mediarama into mediarahan?Yes, she still casts basic ass healing like Dia and her demons can still ignore her commands, the game really doesn't acknowledge just how terrible she still is, if it did it might actually evoke a better sense of emotion by picking her.
>>3832875SJ definitely does have balance issuesMorax (and Orias at the very beginning) is pretty much like 4's Minotaur, a nasty difficulty spike at the very beginning and then the game feeds you enough options that the average player will never have trouble again; with the exception that there's a second gigantic spike at Mem Aleph.
>>3852655Ouroboros filters people too
Third person slavjank set in a retrofuturistic, adrift space station. Heavily inspired by classic Fallout. Has anyone here played it?https://youtu.be/Pd_g_9WFfvo
>>3854323Because you can be inspired by a work beyond just its mechanics
>>3854272Thought he dieded recently
>>3854245>but fan patches existtruly an old school experience
>>3854245That's the mark of a soulful game
>>3854193Craziest thing about the game is it fools you into thinking it has a decent budget because of coherent art style with soft lighting. Only to play it and realize it's Eurojank of the highest order precisely because it tries to do so much with a shoestring budget.
This came out today. I’ve only played a little so far, but it’s like a fusion of Caligula and Monark. I had wanted more of a straightforward Monark sequel, but this seems fine so far. The Masuko score is pretty nice, and the combat has some promise to it. The story is slow-going and hasn’t had a major hook yet, but both Caligulas had meh intro chapters, so I’ll give it a pass for now.For the five or so people like me that really likes Monark, what do you want to see from the game? I’m hoping it ties into the lore and adds more character cameos.
>>3834366Are games like this an elaborate tax write-off scheme or something? They sell sub-10k copies across all platforms, which is clearly not enough to sustain a studio. And there's zero interest or demand for these ultra low budget weeb games that have neither good gameplay nor story. I mean, this one doesn't even have romance mechanics from what I gathered. There's literally no audience.
Where are the discounts? I still want to play this game.
>>3854599Maybe winter.>>3853114Cute boy.
