Who is your favorite tank/defensive rpg character?
Grungust going from absolute unit to dead weight depending on the game.
>>4090105>hmm who is the paladin-like character in Chrono Trigger>is it the honorable and upright knight from the middle ages, squire to the great hero, sworn on a holy quest to defeat the evil wizard, and who fights with a sword and casts healing spells?>nah it’s the robot who shoots evil lasers out of his eyes and punches thingsDid you even play the game?
>>4071555This is such a fucking insane trailer.https://youtu.be/7s2Qkx3lN5s
Tanks are almost always trash and are pretty much never worth using unless it's a game where they have auras and such that boost DPS/DPR.
>>4071555>defensive rpg characterthis giganigga can and will effortlessly solo the final bossHe is by no means a "defensive" character.
Why aren't there more space JRPGs?
>>4016833>>4017151In case anyone doubts the logic in those two posts, here's a whole thread over on /tg/ discussing ways to get melee combat working in sci-fi settings.>>>/tg/98669542
apart from anything else fantasy just has more recognisable archetypes everyone knows dorfs are tough, elves shoot bows good, hammers good at smashing skellingtons, etcin space all bets are off. is a plasma sequencer better than a maser against Tau Cetians? also: everyone knows fantasy money is GOLD. it's just more satisfying than credits

I'm about halfway through Metal Max Returns, so far I'm enjoying it. The vehicle/on foot modes are kind of neat even if the game hasn't really combined the two all that well so far.Does the rest of the series improve on that any? I'd like the concept and the setting, but I don't think I'd want to play another barebones RPG in the same vein.
>>4100197discovered any good reasons to play the FC version rather than Returns?
>>4100221I love the 8-bit style on the NES/FC. Otherwise, no, not really.It's still a fun game, anyway. And It's always nice to check out the roots of a series.
>>4100343I kinda feel guilty for not wanting to play an FC game but I've played Returns like 3 times over the decades since AG tl'd it and I know it too well
>>4100197The NES game is insanely easy once you get over the harder early foot section. Smoke shells are OP as absolute fuck.
>>4100567I keked audibly when I noticed the Big Cannons are fought in the same battle unlike returns. But after that and getting the soldier + third tank, I breezed through the rest of the game. Hell, my soldier one-shotted Dust Franky.>>4100563I enjoyed it, but honestly it's a one time deal. There's no reason to go back to it over Returns. And even less so compared to Reloaded or 3.
God damn this game was dogshit. Pure California fantasy-slop from start to end. Not a single redeeming quality. Avellone hasn't produced a good game since Planescape: Torment.
>>4068106Namefags aren't allowed to have opinions
>>4079755>The art design is the strongest aspectBoth Avowed and Outer Worlds games look like vomit.
>>4068106I'm having a hard time playing Tyranny because I hate the starter two companions more than you could ever know.
>>4079755Tutorial areas of BG2, Fallout 2, Planescape Torment and IWD each have more memorable environments than the entirety of Hacksidian's nostalgiabait catalog.
>>4100978What's wrong with poopy-armor and psycho-girlboss?
Vyse is the best JRPG protagonist.
>>4094564I mean the 3-way ending is kind of implied as-is, if anything a modern choose-your-romance would have diminished it. The protagonist is Vyse, not (you) and Vyse is a gigachad who pulls 2 girls at once

was kreia that good of a character to warrant such a long video essay?
>>3998637>First 50 minutes of the video is a summary of every plot point in the game.
>>3998626Ask chatgpt this question, then ask to expound on its themes, then ask to put it all in 11000 words and you have a near identical essay to thatPaste it to vidrush and use whatever other service for voice if you're too lazy to read itDouge adjacent shit is mind numbingly easy to spam
>>4096430Wrong. If droids will never figure out one thing in the next million generations, it'd be The Force
>>4099267Midichlorians lol
>>4004456She literally shows you a flashback of the two stupidest people she knows stomping her out like she was on fire. That's pretty indignified.
Which RPG game would you rather be isekai'd to?
>>4081236I would not call them hellscapes. For majority of NPCs life in your typical jRPG world is just doing the daily job routine, with some demon lord attack once in a while, for plot reasons.The thing is that player character is usually not a typical city dweller but an adventurer, fantasy counterpart to a hobo. Even irl being a homeless traveler is kind of a shitty experience.
>>4067638Darkest Dungeon
>>4097839Honestly it depends upon the netherworld. The only world we really saw prinny abuse was Laharl ;s.>Veldime was w/e>I really doubt Valvolga has any >There were only a few a Maritsu >Serphania had a few as her pocket netherworld, but they weren't abused There are plenty of human and demon archetypes to be incarnated into.
>>4100581>where I know the system inside and out and know how to manipulate that shit?also depends on whether knowing the system is the same as being able to actually use it
>>4100787The important point is you will need a boss that allows you to use the Dark Assembly to reincarnate into a demon from a Prinny. The number of demons like that can be counted on 2 hands and most are protagonists or unique characters in the series. There are some cases:1. Adell. He is chill and a kind master. If you work for him, he will allow his comrades to reincarnate as a demon in the Dark Assembly.2. Fuka. Valvatorez and Fenrich like her after she has fought with them as allies from numerous battles so they go easy on her with the Zettai Prinny Project. She is allowed to live freely with them and is in higher position than other Prinnes even through she is a Prinny. She can reincarnate as a demon but she doesn't want that and it's her only option after the Fuka's show.3. Killia. He is greatest boss for the Prinnies. If you work for him very hard, you can expect to be rewarded.4. Zed. He treats his Prinnies well to the point one of them is ready to sacrifice itself to let him escape against Super Overlord Baal.

is Skyrim a good or worthwhile game? should i play it first or are there some other things i need to look at before playing? should i use mods or just jump into a vanilla unmodded playthrough? which version of Skyrim should i download? can a shitty windows 11 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with Radeon Graphics (2.00 GHz), 16 GB ram, AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics (496 MB) and 64 bits run the game just fine or is it gonna lag and eat up 100% CPU? if it cant run skyrim then are there optimization mods or something so it doesn't have any issues?
>>4071422It's the best open world RPG of all time
>>4096545>OP here, does anybody know how to actually get the whiterun guys to join the empire? i helped them deal with the dragon thing and talked with the Jarl guy but the quest thing still says i need to help them deal with the dragon threatiirc you have to join the empire, do their questline then later on you'll be able to do that
>>4071422it's okayit's the only one of its kind where you have>companions>waifus>open world sandbox>first personout of the boxand it's also moddableyes, the quests are boring, the factions are light, the choices are poor and the loot isn't great, but it's a light RPG game to play if you just want to relaxother RPGs out there, demand more from your noggin, this one just delivers on comfy and a fun exploration
>>4099326>other RPGs out there, demand more from your nogginName it?
quick question, can i join the thieves' guild while being part of the imperial legion? it sounds cool
This game should not have been allowed to bear the name Baldur's gate.Don't get me wrong : it's still a solid game but story-wise Larian made very little efforts to connect it to the Baalpawn saga.Even worse, it blatantly allows itself the luxury of ridiculizing two of the most beloved characters of the franchise.Can we finally admit the truth?
>>4072971>Realms Restored 4.3 — Baldur's Gate 3and dilate you lunatic

So I'm doing the challenge to beat all 3 games on Insanity in the LE, and I just beat ME1 tonight, 100%ed the content, moved on to 2 and did a little bit before stopping. Ok either ME2 becomes some serious bullshit later but insanity feels no different from Normal so far, this feels so much easier because how ME2 works is that you always get your shields deleted really fucking fast. Maybe it's FASTER in Insanity, I don't know, but I immediately beelined to the Kasumi loyalty mission since you can do it at the start for the stupidly OP Locust SMG, and the gunship fight felt no less bullshit than always.Meanwhile in ME1 I would pingpong from being completely invincible and dying in 1 hit because a Geth Destroyer ran up and smacked me in melee when Push/Lift/Stasis were in cooldown, I had far more instances in ME1 where I would just randomly die because of being so much as grazed by something that ignores barrier
>>4099269>The game actually, fundamentally isn't designed for Collectors that just shoot the shit out you trying to overwhelm you at long range from a dozen directions at once when you break cover without even activating barriers & power shields like some amateur hothead suffering malignant skill issue syndromeExcept it is, the entire game is explicitly designed around the cover system and poking out to shoot when they're done shooting. The game is programmed so that you aren't under constant fire at all times 24/7, it will actually make enemies stop shooting so that you get a chance to shoot back.
3 is my favorite game to play on insanity but 2 is also really fun. Nothing its better then taking Miranda and Mordin with you. Instantly stripping all enemy shields with mirandas overload or all enemy armor with mordins incinerate and then hitting the group with a singularity.If you are playing the game by just shooting to get rid of the different HP bars you are doing it wrong.
>>4100568As I said, the IFF mission was literally the only point in all of 2 that gave me problems, and even then I only died like twice on that mission, once was because I got stuck on the geometry and simply couldn't move away from the husks
>>4100568>diffirent hp barsnot like guns don't chew through those too>shield/barriersmg/assault rifle (geth shotgun works too since it has multi projectiles) >armorshotgun/sniper/pistol Mass Effect 3's guns are even more ridiculous when it comes to stripping defenses, typhoon with armor pen rounds melts brutes and primes
>>4100601NTA, but next time, bring Grunt and Jack against husks. Grunt has shotgun and incendiary ammo, both effective against husks, and his tanky melee crushes them. Jack has warp ammo and shotgun, both effective against husks, and shockwave autokills any husk that doesn't have armour - armour that is stripped by Grunt's and Jack's ammo powers. Also consider running soldier, since they get incendiary, which strips armour. In ME 3, being able to strip shields and armour will be more important than anything else. Hence why soldier class dominates the game on insanity. High fire rate weapons collapses any shields, and soldier's can self-trigger fire explosions, which collapses armour and health, leaving only barriers. Concussion shot helps against barriers but you will want to bring someone with warp powers. But really, it's just banshees that use barriers to any important degree, and those are easy to handle due to predictable moveset.
I see Wizardry, I see Elder Scrolls, I see oodles of various JRPGs, but naught a single Might and Magic thread...outside of Heroes III, what's ye lot's take on the series as a whole?(Pic is from one of the spin-off games, the puzzle battler one)
>>4083377All you gotta do is make maps as you play. Every new square is progress and it guarantees you find your way to the end sooner or later
>>4082422"This critic PEEVED me off.I'm gonna make them an enemy in several MM games."Wonderful.
Can anyone upload Heroes of Might And Magic 3 Complete Edition game files as they are once installed? Want it for the Android port.
>>4086602 (Cont.)Ok, FINALLY got a time frame of where my question was, turns out M&M10 happens to take place a few years after the events of Heroes 6.
>>4055255There's a little old indie Belarusian game called Legends of Eisenwald that is highly inspired by King's Bounty
It is still the best RPG ever made in the last century.

>>4098203>looked like Diabloretard
>>4097605guessing this is the man Hawkwind fears.
When kcd-III comes out, the series will become the single best immersive rpg trilogy ever. The fact that both first games use exactly the same engine is awesome. The continuity in feel is unequaled. They could have taken exactly the same gameply, slapped a new story on top of it and the game would also have been awesome. But no, they refined the gameplay, trimmed off some excess, expanded in interesting directions.Lets not even talk about the fact that there is zero competition.
>>4064729So apparently, Katherine is a romance option but she is fucking Zizka, is this a bit awkward? Is it kinda like a menage a trois situation?I personnaly refuse to romance her because she must have an insane bodycount.
Mishka best girl
>>4100022every woman growing up in those small villages fucked everyone btw
>>4100103Nah that lord's daughter is best girl. She once lored me into her room to "write a book" together and I was so dissapointed when we did just that. Her book was naughty as fuck, Im sure she is a huge slut, I hope I will get to bed her.
