I have a game i remember that I'm hoping actually exists, There was a CRPG I remember playing that was inspired by D&D 4th edition. I don't know if it was officially licensed, but if it as, it's not listed on wikipedia.Does anyone know what game it was? Or am I hallucinating games that don't exist?
>>3972173>4E>built for vidya adaptations>never got anything of note
>>3973964Is it? It's certainly not well made in that regard
>>3973984Nah, it really was geared towards that.>second wind as self-healing>abilities on cooldowns different from just "per rest" like At-Will, Encounter, and Daily powers>cantrips and equivalents so casters have something to do beyond basic weapon attackDebatable point is arguing everyone got turned into a caster of some sort, but I'd say that was more standardization of the power format.
>>3974106>Debatable point is arguing everyone got turned into a caster of some sortThis and arguable if d20 (4e) is the way to go for a computer and ttrpg. Everyone has a smartphone, so why not use fun formulae?
>>3973146Looks more like Eberron, at least the art style.
I'm about to play Witcher 1 (Enhanced Edition) for the 1st time and I'm new to the series. Are there any super essential mods required or should I just enjoy the game raw?
>>3971832>It really suffered from having completely different middlesIt really did. I sided with Roche, and spent most of the final act wondering who the fuck Philippa Eilhart was.
Witcher IV will be awesome
>>3955828i liked it even with chunky combat.i just wish there was a way to get on top of the Vizima wall and have view of the outskirts of Vizima
>>3971943I can't see what else there's left to do in the Witcher setting t.b.h. Killing more monsters? Meh.The main story, i.e. Ithlinne's Prophecy, is well and truly over. I don't know how they can follow that.

/vrpg/ give me advice. My little brother is autistic and he’s been obsessed with making his own RPG game for about 4 years now. Literally 4 years of him tinkering in RPG Maker MZ or whatever version it is.The problem is, he’s genuinely getting aggressive and defensive over it whenever I try to give him basic criticism, and on top of that, I’m basically forced by my parents to draw the concepts for him because "you're good at art”. I can’t even get good pictures of it. And he unironically believes this game is going to be the next Undertale or Omori.The writing is agonizing. How the fuck do I tell someone who has spent 4 years on a project that a protagonist who speaks in the third person like a toddler completely ruins any chance of taking the game's "serious emotional moments" seriously?/vrpg/ Is this what all solo dev RPG Maker projects look like? Just mashed together tropes from popular games? Tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this is gonna be a massive flop if he ever actually finishes it? How do I deal with this without causing a war in the house?
>>3964515upload the files somewherelet an anon take them and publish it in an unfinished statehe loses all credit, his 4 years of work are lostyou no longer have to do shit for ithe'll hate you forever though
>>3964515dont criticize him, have him release crap and he'll improve from it
>>3966497toby fox made crap romhacks before being famous, there's no such thing as long but there is a thing like building skills
>>3964515well pussy aren't you going to drop the game files somewhere?you came on here, complained for a few posts, then fucked off into the aether. The fuck man.

TibiaI haven't played it in 15 years and it's not a game I would recommend and it might just be nostalgia speaking but god damn it I've never had so much fun exploring a game world.
>>3971074If you still haven’t played an open world game since the first time you posted this thread you genuinely just don’t like videogames
>>3973518>Tibiainteresting!can you tell me more about it please
>>3973897mmorpgBig ass world with lots of nooks and crannies and big ass dungeons.5 major cities on the large freemium continent, among them a elf city, underground dwarf city and swamp city - the swamp is a particularly hell of a maze to explore.Very dangerous to explore as there can be very big stat differences between enemies as you go deeper and even common enemies can surround you and block your escape.Griefers commonly baited high level enemies out to relative safe areas - not like any area is really safe though as straight up ambush PVP is common.You drop your inventory and maybe some of your equipment on death so it had corpse runs already in 1997.It's grindy as all hell though and gameplay is garbage - it consists of standing next to your target as melee and is 99% kiting if ranged.
Bethesda is the only one that makes good Open world games. everything else is either ubislop or empty Rockstarslop
If you choose to escape with Ralof into Helgen Keep during the tutorial of Skyrim, he unwittingly completes an aurbic ritual through the unbinding of your shackled hands (untying the Prisoner from fate) inside of a Tower (symbolic of the cylindrical wheel, within which all of reality occurs), where a chandelier casts the shadow of an eight-spoked wheel (strengthening the symbology) upon the floor of the same ritual chamber containing a deer head casting the shadow of dragon with spread wings, directly in the middle between the bear emblem of the Stormcloaks and the Imperial sigil.

I do have a theory that you've become the Dragonborn because you were there and not you were born one. That's why you can choose whichever race you want. The ritual that turns you into one
Is this the ultimate JRPG women appeal series? Unintentionally, I mean.
>>3969986Cope and seethe
E33tard calling others drones and having no thoughts in their heads is some epic dunning kruger effect on display lmao
>>3967518I dropped it before even getting to the plane this time
Shadow Hearts Covenant is my all time favorite JRPG. I love the gameplay, the tone, the endgame, and the actual rpg systems.Any other JRPGs that scratch the same itch? Lost Odyssey and E33 are obviously gameplay influenced
>>3928472>nothing is debunked

>>3975097>you have dialogue choicesWhy do you even need this? lolYou can experience a good story without "le choices" and I don't want to ruin your bubble but most of the choices don't matter and are just different flavor of the same text. Every RPG is like this, they give you 5 dialogue lines to pick from and they don't matter, then at some point in the game you get to choose something, so its like 10% of the choices matter and 90% don't matter and those that matter won't change the overall story in a meaningful way.This simply doesn't justify spending so many hours of your time on a genre known for its generic and mediocre writing, when you can easily get so much more by visiting other forms of art.The combat is most definitely bad, like its embarrassingly bad, even for a game from the 90s its gameplay & combat are at the bottom tier, thats comparing it with other games of its caliber, we don't need to compare it with something like The Legend of Zelda which came a year before and felt like 100 years ahead in time compared to it.
>>3962041I never played (more than a few hours of) PS:T but I am the only person who read the novellization (the one by Rhyss Hess who mostly copypasted in-game dialogue, not that other one which was kind of its own thing).
>>3956995yes, it's like that gay ass fuck off commie polish game that every sucks off but I can't get through like 10 minutes ofwhat the fuck was it called ?
>>3975283Choices can be good if you need a way to differentiate your character based on the influence of the player, and typically pre-chosen dialogue can feel cheap or like you don't have enough choice on your character. That said though, it can be absolutely Kino>Strangers of Paradise>Mass Effectetc
Discuss the seriesHere is my ranking for every 'mainline' game in the series from the 80's and 90's. My taste isn't the usual taste since I'm a gameplay first kinda guy even when it comes to JRPGs. >MT2Easily one of the bests RPGs on NES/FC, similar to DQ1->DQ2, the jump from the first game is phenomenal and it set the standards for the series for more than a decade to come. If I have to bring negative points I would say the end game feels a little rushed, there are lot's of areas in the underworld with the same handful of enemies and Lucifer's castle is a disappointment (though it's a bit made up by what comes after on the good ending path).>...If!Probably some of the best gameplay in the series. Dungeons are great (for the most part) and it has tons of replay value between the different characters to go through (with Akira's path being totally different it's basically two games in one), the different guardians and a huge choice of demons to use. The game in the series that feels the closest to MT1.In terms of gameplay it was also the first to bring the back row being unable to use simple physical attcks which brought more tactical play in question and lead to using auto battle less.>MT1This was also a huge jump for RPGs on Famicom. Dungeons crawlers on the system went from Deep Dungeon 1/2, very simple games with only 8 floors and 1 vs 1 combat; to an absolutely fuck huge game with a party of 6 and tons of demons to recruit. I also love how unrelenting the game is.>Soul HackersComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
What a dogshit threadKill yourself OP
>>3974679Also while I'm at it killing demons for alignment is probably the slowest and worst way to do it. I'm not convinced it even does that in this game because I've never seen it happen.The best way to do it in unironically to spam the churches for Mesian or Gaian factions, if you get poisoned or paralysed this is even better because you can just heal 1hp and not the status, and that's another alignment shift. Just keep doing that, and you can fix yourself at any point.
>>3974525"Punishingly boring" doesn't mean difficult, it means really boring
>>3974674>14 playthroughs of SMT1Damn, I thought something was wrong with me because I played it to completion around 6 times. I think it's time I do another playthrough.>>3974689Yeah, that's a much faster way to grind points, though of course the best way to change alignment is through story choices, but they're limited.
Omg! I love SMT games! Shin Megami Tensai Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensai Persona 4 are the best in the series! I love how I get to hang out with my friends and listen to cool hip music! I cant wait to move to Japan and make friends with others! Maybe we will even take a trip to the beach!!! I haven’t played the other SMT games as they don’t look very good. And video I seen the music is not welcoming. I never tried Shin Megami Tensai Persona 3 as it doesn’t look very good or seem like a good slice of life like Shin Megami Tensai Persona 5 is. Time to go steal some more hearts!
This game is a big fuck you to that trash CRPG copycat game called Underrail. Not only is Stoneshard twice as hard but it's actually fair. The entire game is intelligent in design. Once this game gets a full release there is literally no reason to waste thousands of hours into Underrail. Honestly, out of all the gay Indie RPG games, Stoneshard is the best one. Literally half the reviews people are crying over the difficulty. Oh, and no savescumming like a fucking coward either the game won't allow it.
>>3965936This game is not hard, even in permadeath. Number one thing holding back new players is simply not knowing what stats to invest in or which abilities to get first. You don't even need to trial and error your way into it, just bother reading what each stat/ability does. With that said, this piece of shit has been in development for 7 years and still has no main questline.
>>3965936Nigger it doesn't even have a win-state. These faggots have been squeezing the lemon for almost 10 years doing nothing
>>3965937The devs are in Ukraine, they had to flee when Russia invaded.
>>3965936>but it's actually fairSounds like somebody had a skill issue

Apparently starslop is updating to allow free travel between planets, adding more space encounters, and some other quality of life fixes in spaceHas anyone played it yet? Is this going to make the game worth reinstalling?
>>3961513How is the combat compared to Mass Effect 3?
>>3961513this game isn't even worth the bandwith you'd waste pirating it
>>3975346If you like toddlikes then yeah it's worth trying for free. You can easily ignore 99% of the proc gen crap and just do actual quests and end up with an 80 hour playthrough
>>3961513I skipped Starfield on release because everybody said it was terrible but i am now considering to play it while i wait on Black Flag and The Expanse game... but you know, i don´t want to waste my time, i could play RDR2, Replaced, Mafia definitive edition or Fallout 4 instead. Is it worth it when some of the other options have been critically acclaimed? (not that that actually means anything)
>elder scrolls in space>we'll keep space empty though for realismHow did this even get made?
I'm currently playing it right now (finally) and oh my fucking God it's good. The negative reviews are greatly exaggerated. This sets a new standard for crpgs that we probably won’t ever see again from anybody besides Larian Studio. I think they found a niche here. What’s also interesting is why is BG3 more successful than Divinity? Is the lore just more interesting?
>>3974643>like solo honor modeWhat class did you do this on? I've failed three honour mode runs so far (with an actual party), and I think I'll only try it once more before I admit to myself that I'm not good enough at the game for HM.

How does the recently released Beta stack up to the Mass effect games so far?
>>3973899>shipgirlLiterally a girl made to be shipped with MC (white male)
>>3973729The dialogue is absolutely terrible. I hope they can rewrite the whole game in a year (lol) if that's what they thought was worth showing.
>>3973729Any aliens to fuck or is this a flop of made by people who didn't understand Mass Effect?
>>3974687>>3974750Ixion just recently got an endless mode I think, but yeah it's a lot closer to a narrative city builder where you try to shore up against semi-unpredictable nonsense. The game isn't hard but there are a few moments where the situation goes so fucked it's full damage control. Great soundtrack though, and the lore and writing is quite nice.
>>3974854>Ixion just recently got an endless mode I thinkThere's nothing online mentioning endless or sandbox mode, so you've likely mistaken it with some other game.>Great soundtrack though, and the lore and writing is quite nice.We agree on that. The ending of the game is also very disappointing but I particularly want to commend Chapters 3 and 4. That's where IXION was at its peak from a gameplay and narrative standpoint, with the former being a whodunit in space, and the latter was surviving the encounter with a cosmic horror, both of which I hope to see in The Expanse in a way:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMXKdCLizws>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VwbNcir-cg
