Every day is /mon/day, so let's talk about monster collecting and raising games!We had a nice thread last time, so let's keep this going >>3764902What are you playing? And what are you looking forward to?
>>3898191Depends on what you like Megaten for.If you like how the fusion system works, Dragon Quest Monsters is really the closest you're gonna get to demon fusion.If you like the tone, pretty much nothing else in the genre has the vibe Megaten generally does. Closest you'll probably get is like, the Digimon Story games.
>>3898194Definitely the fusion part, I could spend hours just experimenting with it. Thanks for the rec!
>>3898200Then yeah Dragon Quest Monsters is definitely the way to go. Breeding system is absolutely built for experimenting.
>>3898191Monster Sanctuary
>>3898191The Lost Child is very reminiscent of Megaten, which I was going to recommend until I just searched it up and apparently it was removed from all stores. Core Crossing too if you can find a way to pirate them both, since apparently it was also nuked.
Steam and pretty much every major digital storefront are doing their winter sale. So, what are you buyers/piraters interested in? I got Atlyss for 5 burgers, and for being a furry gooner bait game it's better than it has any right to be. The best way I can describe it is if someone tried to make a consolized MMO during the gamecube/ps2/xbox era without all the garbage baggage that typically comes from MMOs. There's even an imp race so non-furries like me can have something to nut to.It also makes me a bit salty because it's definitely a game I would have tried making if I was better at 3D modeling and could rope some other autists into helping me.
I decided to pick up Tainted Grail, I didn't realize that it'd be a game describing the many war crimes of Arthur Pendragon and Merlin but it's been enjoyable thus far because of that fact.
>>3898120I've been wanting to grab it for the longest time. It finally dropped to a price I'm willing to play, but I can't get it because I bought a couple of games before the sale and someone gifted me Octopath Traveler 2 for Christmas, so I have too many games on my plate
>>3897615>The game play looks cool it looks mediocre and uninspired.
>>3893733I was thinking of picking up the Wrath of the Righteous season 2 pass, Arcanum or Solasta. gonna leave it until the last minute and im open to being influenced if someone loves any of those
>>3898148I liked BG3
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.
>>3898614>The fuck is a wrong opinionBaldur’s Gate 3 had a great story with high-quality writing and excellent characters.
>>3883071Then why was it so much fun. Started slow. Can truly go in any direction. Loved going underground. DC battlefield was amazing. A GOAT game.
>>3898666>Can truly go in any directionwasted digits or a cameo by the deceiver himself? That you, Todd?
>>3883065The map is bullshit. I'm a native of the DC area. The New Vegas map is almost identical to the real world. Fallout 3's map is just an empty wasteland that you wouldn't know was DC without the monuments in the corner of the map.I mean, it's fine for what it does. It's not a terrible open world. It's just not a good representation of what its supposed to represent. I think the only real gripe is that its really condensed. Coming back to 3 after playing NV for years throws you off with how there's mobs of enemies every 20 feet you go.
>>3891684None of it lolt. DC native and lifetime resident
Why aren't people talking more often about about Caravaneer 2 ?Is such a good trading game with a interesting post apolcaypse theme, and it was made on flash by the way
>>3897245Russian sperm has a hallucinogenic effect on Americans.
>>3897306Cool. What hallucinations did you see?
>>3897308That my new president wasn't a communistic faggot.
Ok so what's good about this game & what's bad about it, & how is the first one for that matter?
>>3898705>how is the first one for that matter?If you don't get the picrel, you're not gonna like it.
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?
Hello I just beat the first game. The gameplay wasn't good at all but overall I still enjoyed my time with the game. I like Ako and Fumio.
>>3898205Cool, I'm glad to know you enjoyed it!
This thread survived more time than the Atelier thread that was made later (https://boards.4chan.org/vrpg/thread/3848950/atelier). Who knows if this thread is going to die before February 2026, maybe, maybe not. For now, this is still up unlike that Atelier thread...
Something bumped the thread. Huh.
Why are the old Personas (1 and 2) such niche shit? Not fun enough?
>>3854652Most Megaten games are niche. Persona 3~5 are the outliers because of social links and waifus. If it was purely dungeon crawlers, only the same 50 schizos would buy them.
>>3895929>P1 characters feel more realIt's because they have some edge to them. Everyone else feels like some low rank TV show were "we all have to pull together to save the rec center" or whatever saccharine bullshit. They're too get a long gang. P1's friends feel like they can weather actual friendship and call each other retards.
I see people wanting atlus to make p1 and p2 remake seeing how they doing it with p3 and p4 but the thing is atlus wants to make game in the ''modern persona formula'' and p1/2 would not work with this so they either won't do it or completly change p1/2 to work with their formula fucking the OG's even more
>>3897402The thing is those plots were a bit more urgent so you really couldn't have the calendar system. You could update the battle system and leave it as a more standard dungeon crawler and I think it would be fine. One of the interesting things about P1 and 2 was how the party always dispersed every time you entered a room or a shop, so you have a lot of places were you could talk to them so you could, in theory, develop some kind of relationship system that way. 1 even had a lot of player choice moments that either didn't matter much at all, or mattered a lot. It would be different than the modern persona style but I think I might not hate it. You could even really open up the wider city if you'd like to explore the second world better. And there's also the matter of how the incorporate the snow queen quest. P1 was kind of a weird game so a remake might be less of a remake and more of a whole new monster.
is there any p1 undub mod that restores the voices in the cutscenes? Not like theres that many to see anyway.
Best RPGs to play as a dwarf/ experience dwarf culture? (excluding Dwarf Fortress)
>>3898532DA:O or an all Dwarf party in IWD
>>3898532You want an all-dwarf game or do you want other non-hostile races to interact with to contrast your dwarvishness against?
>>3898532The Dark Eye Drakensang. Dwarf classes have a good stat spread and their story content is quite neat - taking down dragons and facing an ancient demon.
>>3898547Thoroughly enjoyed both in the past. They were some of the best dwarf-based experiences I've had>>3898599Either. Just give me short kings as written by someone who understands their ways>>3898605Interesting, I'm not at all familiar with this one
Any games you can recommend with these qualities? Need to scratch an autistic itch, and I haven't had much luck looking myself.>No DRM, or if present, thoroughly cracked>Open world (Not necessarily in the modern sense, but just non-linear)>Any POV (isometric, turd person, first person)>Low magic/tech fantasy setting (nothing you wouldn't see in Dragon Age)>Grounded setting (no Morrowind or Fallout, needs verdant fields or forests)>At minimum player housing or other light immersive sim elements>Absolutely NO glorification of revolutionary concepts (female empowerment, gay shit, etc.)>Player-created character at minimum, preferably with backstory or other such settings.Thanks.

>>3898587Too late for that one, only picrel will help.
>>3898582I stand by Urod Blyatnov. He may not be a proper orthodox everyman, but he would have his own Russian novel if someone cared to write it.
>>3898507Russians are the browns of whites
>>3898598That would be Scottish. Oh wait, those are blacks of whites. I mean Italians.
I've never played this game, I'm about to start in the coming days. I am unsure but from what I remember this game uses different D&D rules than Icewind Dale 1.What are some tips one should take to play through this game? Is it like the first game?
>>3881755Hello.I have decided to desecrate the tasteful art direction of Icewind Dale, so I proompted some AiSlop Dale portraits....You're welcome.
>>3897970Never post again.
>>3897971I can't promise that.
>3897970Die in a fire
>>3897983I made some more. Check it out!
They're the enemy army of the blatantly british Guardia in 600 AD, which is about the time when the Islamic conquest happened. Also, they live in a place called Medina, which is also a city in the real world where muslims came from.
>>3898457funny if true. lol.so why does magus help those shitters?
>>3898561Magus, that psycho?
>>3898457>blatantly britishShouldn't they be French?
It's been out for almost 20 years, I don't know exactly what more can be said about this game but how do you anons feel about it now?
>>3888787Education is uselessAnd the sickness part is based since it is eugenic to let the sick die
>>3888719It was alright. Some of the questlines are completely atrocious like the thief guild. It's not as retarded or nitwit-pandering as Oblivion. Lots of jank stuff they obviously couldn't get to a high standard and just papered over to hide the unfixable faults like the civil war stuff. The setting writing was way better than I would have expected and the high water mark of the post-Oblivion Bethesda era. I honestly didn't mod it that much beyond QoL stuff like menus.
>>3888719>2011 OMG this is awesome>2025 OMG why the fuck is this primitive set of gameplayloops more fun than literally billions of dollars flushed down the toiletThis is the summary of what most people feel…
>>3897568Much of it, yes, but the gold/weight ratio of what you are willing to pick up increases, and visits to merchants get less frequent (also you'll probably get a companion to haul half your stuff, and might get speech perk so you can sell any type of loot at any merchant). You'll never lose out on anything because of lack of gold, and you can buy, and furnish houses at your own pace. Also picking up alchemy ingredients, and making expensive potions to sell, make most other sort of loot redundant, because potions get up to hundreds, if not a few thousand gold/weight unit. You won't care about using up thousands of gold worth of potions in a fight either, because you made those potions from common respawning ingredients.
>>3897568You also get to pick up crafting materials, craft stuff, level up your kills all around, get better equipment. There are various quests and questlines that are more or less interesting. And you do it in a massive world with different biomes, dungeons that all have their own unique twist and story and are in one of several styles (with some overlap). I most enjoy the exploration of that world. And with mods (not sure steamdeck has those) you can massively expand your gameplay.
just got out of midgar
>>3896330>no you need to waste time going through elaborate impractical setups and hope RNG is on your side>or deal with jacked up health + enemies no being able to one shot youThat's not fun.
>>3895567Aqualung is lame and gay.Beta is badass and since you can get it before even leaving to Costa del Sol you can use it to farm the higher leveled enemies fron hitting the alarm switch in Junon.
>>3897247We get it, you're a zoomer. You can stop whining. Go back to your self-playing movie games.
>>3890714In the place show by the thread-pic, and in the whereabouts, there's the first Enemy Skill to catch. One of the things that they have brutally fucked up in the Remake spinoff.
>>3896179Are you seriously complaining about the existence of an entirely optional fightYou don't even need the chocobo, if you plot the look at the map and plot the shortest course while the snake is heading away from you, you can just walk right by him. What Rebirth did with him was a fucking travesty.
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?
>>3875838You are missing a big part of the game mapping it yourself. If you're lazy you can use gridmonger to map it on the computer.Old dungeon crawler's big draw was environmental navigation. Stripping it with an automap is like skipping out picking your attributes.
Is 9 or 8 better?
Underage child FELTS all the Might & Magic VII -stans:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJNcAxQVm_Y
>>3898466what is felts
>>3898483"to felt" someone means "to leave someone FELTED"
Rebooblican edition.About to start Disgaea 2 for the 3rd time, hoping I have enough patience to get through the entire postgame this time instead of dropping it right after the story mode. Fuck pirates, fuck felonies, fuck cellphones, fuck dark world stage unlock conditions , etc.
>>3896912>pantiesEnhanced
>>3893212this reminds me that I need to finish my grinding session in refrain so I can beat the "extra" bosses and get the real ending
>>3897529I beat pretty much every extra boss in Refrain but was so annoyed by the fact that you need a specific pact to beat the regular last boss (and can't just brute force things with really strong puppets) that I stopped playing and never saw the ending. exact same deal with Galleria and the Discordance boss thingit would be very easy to finish either game now but doing it years later doesn't feel right
>>3893212>she has no noseAnd she must scream.
>>3893212PC port when? i need my witch fix
I wanted to play Old School RuneScape for the first time but I saw body type A and body type B on the character creation screen.I won't be playing the game after all it seems. Oh and here's a screenshot of the dev's website.
>>3898393>Its obvious no one but retards care yet you keep pushing.My point, precisely.
>>3898393>Bluff check: Failed (Success not possible)>Sneak check: Critical Failure
>>3898393>Because trumps israeli handlers tried to cop-opt our complaints without doing anything about them, they’re now fundamentally illigitimate.-t another israeli
>>3897760This anon is correct, its not that serious just play the game man
>>3898435don't play the game, it's seriously trash
