Oh look, another video where Tim Cain shits on Fallout 2. Why is he so bitter?
>>3491739No, millions played it, far more than Fallout 1, they just probably forgot about it.
>>3491700Bro you have no idea.
>>3491714A person who finds out who made the game probably also finds out Cain did Fallout. It was in the trailer too.Average player probably cares little about about the names the game.
>>3491712he also didn't write Fallout.
>>3492362>Tim Cain? Oh he's the guy who made Outer Worlds and that old Fallout game I've never played.
New Mad Max movie if coming out, do you think todd gonna shit out another nu-fallout game for chrap bucks?
>>3492182Fallout is RPG related
>>3492180No, they take 8 years to make games now
>>3492280Theyll try to re-sell previous one then. Fallout definitive/remaster/ultimate shit etc.
Don't worry, it's not a real maxsu film so they can get away with not doing another fallout to cashgrab.George Miller takes 8 years to make his as well, so expect MM: Wasteland sometime after 2030-2032, that's if Miller doesn't sue WB (again (again) ), drive Hardy insane or have production closed down because of accountants and that last one's more of a concern because WB do love a good tax write off.Midway should get to work on making a Happy Feet 2 CRPG thoughever. What's that Midway doesn't exist anymore who owns the- ah George stop making the people at WB mad you fool.
>>3492280At least they are great!!!!!!
What is the greatest JRPG of all time?
>>3482721Planescape: Torment
>>3482721Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Final Fantasy VIII is the runner up.
>>3489368>XC2based>FFVIIIcringe
>>3483286>some of the worst gameplay ever.it's fairly standard in terms of jRPGs, there are way worse in the genre
>>3483272>they seem to hate the idea of a pc portMore like Microsoft completely forgot about it. I imagine there is a bunch of rights fuckery with out Freeplus did development work on it with Microsoft funding/publishing it and Mistwalker doing the story and concept design.
what are some other rpgs that have girls with big weapons? finished LoT2 wanna take a break before postgame
>>3492008There's the Lancers from the Valkyria Chronicles games, though they aren't all that amazing.Also, LoT2's postgame filtered me hard so good luck with it
I feel like this phenomenon happens in rpgs way more than in TV or film. Why? Anyone else noticed this?
>>3491910
>>3482316Jesus what a retarded post>>3483890>oh, I was wrong? it's the game's fault for not shoving it down my throat like my boyfriend's cock
>>3482514It is hot. It's also very dusty so people wrap up the bottom of their pants sometimes like Caius has
>>3492072>oh, I was wrong? it's the game's faultMany people lack the maturity to simply admit being wrong, and it's hard to let go of the misconceptions.>the game wasn't as boring as i thought? well i didn't know that because i thought the game is boring!
>>3486165>This is part of the reason I can't take it serious when people get mad at BG3 for fucking the loreI certainly think people are right to be upset about it. It not being a new problem doesn't mean it's not a problem. Every new thing has a chance to correct where stuff went to far. Instead they always double down.
Hot of the presses news about Vampire Syndicate from the den of scum and villainy that is RPG Codex - creator is apparently considering changing the engine and style altogether. It will retain turn-based isometric combat according to him, but this change lets him stop fighting the RPG Maker limitations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2y0svaXqdkAnime girls are OFF THE MENU.
>>3485588>not necessary, we've got AI image generation nowlmao
>>3484934>reator is apparently considering changing the engine and style altogether.Bro will never get this done. Him wanting to give the players the choice to choose between anime-style graphics and 3D graphics was ambitious but doable, but this just erases a lot of progress
>>3486973First off, good luck.Second, my two cents as someone who has backed a lot of stuff for more than a decade now... When a kickstarter fails, it always comes back to two miscalculations: a) you pitched something too big for your community to fund, and b) the people who follow the project don't think you can pull it off. How a and b are weighted in your case, I don't know, but going bigger is not a solution for any of those problems.Also, never put a shitter in a promo video for your videogame... Again, good luck.
>>3485588Pff ahahaha.Nothing tanks the perception of the value of a product like using AI; if the developer doesn't give a shit, why would I give him money?
>>3486973Good luck. I just wanted something vampire + cyberpunk setting, just keep it up
> Trained NPCs should take cover a lot more now. They should be significantly more aggressive and engage you from longer distances and many other tweaks, give it a try!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbpUt0OGoHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfKrBk_R5rohttps://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/86691The anemic enemies is one of my biggest complaints about the game, and most mods do into the other direction (making the player more agile, stronger, or with better equipment, or buffing allies).
>>3484079Skyrim with a ton of mods still runs better than vanilla Oblivion. That game is a janky mess.
>>3483724>a lot of these mods usually break a lot of level layouts by aggro-ing every enemy in a dungeon.It might break the pacing. Let's say the enemies are placed in different spots so you have combat encounters throughout the dungeon, with little breaks inbetween. An AI modification can cause them all to aggro together and leave the rest of the dungeon empty. Not a big deal, especially on replays, but still deviates from the original design (and difficulty)In bethesda games, some enemy spawns are specifically activated only after the player reaches a certain point, to prevent specific enemies from aggroing too early. This could happen due to dungeon layout.And yes sneaking is a band-aid fix, but w/moving at 60% speed isn't a great solution for non-stealth characters.Plus the "AI" mod is mostly placebo, does very little to ACTUALLY enhance the gameplay.
>>3490271> Plus the "AI" mod is mostly placebo, does very little to ACTUALLY enhance the gameplay.Seems to extend range of attacking, more aggressive to flush you out and more likely to take cover. It is minor tweaks that have to be combined with other mods.

I have been playing the pixel remaster of this and so far it is the only Final Fantasy game I have played that doesn't completely suck.
>>3488945>IStopped reading here
>>3473771sadly for you zoomie or nufag the pixel remasters are worse>FF for sony consoles : censorship,removal of content>FF PR : more censorship and more content removed.the only safe way to play it is >grab snes emulator>grab retranslated rom>enjoy without cuts or censorship
>>3491974What cuts and censorship were made to the games? The only ports I played were the PSX ports of 1 and 2, I played 3-6 natively.Whoever posted that comparison video of 6 convinced me in two seconds that the pixel remasters were garbage, the remastered 6 intro sounds like weak shit compared to the SNES.
>still going nuts
>>3492016The most obvious and first that come to mind would be seres torture,there are more stuff censored or cut.Well is sony so no surprise there,so while they look the same is not the same in the end.Well i played the snes and ps1 version 15 years ago.
Just finished the main story and I really don't get why this game is so maligned. Did auto-battle really filter journalists that hard? Considering strategic orientation of the battle system toward paradigm deck composition and paradigm shifts, auto-battle was a good and useful mechanic. I think the "hall way sim" complaint is overblown, the linear and open segments are well-balanced. People complain about the "20 hour tutorial" which I really don't understand, the early-to-mid part of any JRPG is going to be a different kind of experience than the late-to-postgame, and this game does a good job differentiating the segments. Two-man battle teams present a different, somewhat more desperate challenge than the late game where you have all options at your disposal. And, I love the menus, I love the UI design overall and don't get why people complain so much about the Crystarium. Even though its sections are more linear than the Sphere Grid, you actually have pretty significant control over how you develop the characters until the deep post-game.Admittedly, Taejin's Tower and Oerba feel unfinished, the weapon upgrade system is tedious, and the summons felt like wasted potential. But this game delivers on graphics, gameplay and story imho.What did you think of FF13? Should I keep going with the post-game grind or just jump right into XIII-2?

Its a shitty version of a series that stopped being good a decade beforehand with a hyper-linear version of gameplay for a series that was already fairly linear all so one faggot exec could have the wifu he drew in higher school in a game with FF7 derivitive characters when FF8n was already overrated babahs first RPG crap
>>3479951> You need to get good. This game very consistently delivers skill - not stat, skill - checks.And this is an example of why this was a shit game.Imagine transitioning from Tactics to FFXIII. Think of all of the possible ways you can progress through FFT… And this game? “You need to get good”Excuse me motherfucker, no, I think this is a shitty game. I have decades of experience with a wide variety of RPGs, and I find the gameplay of this game to be extremely unpleasant.“You need to understand the paradigms and make use of all of them blah blah blah”Nigga, if I was good at literally every single game in the series other than this one, maybe the problem is shitty game design.
>>3480076This is why it’s a shitty game.My first Final Fantasy game was Tactics. I thought they would all be like that. No Final Fantasy game comes even close to being 10% as enjoyable as Tactics, in terms of gameplay. The gameplay of all Final Fantasy games is boring as fuck.But this is the first one to *directly insult me*. I didn’t use paradigms exactly as the developer intended for me to, and now you’re giving me a poor star rating?Other Final Fantasy games had boring gameplay, but this is the first game to directly insult me.When I hear people with their “get good” rhetoric, I feel quite insulted. No, I am not autistic. Dungeons and Dragons doesn’t tell you to “get good”. Talisman doesn’t tell you to “get good”. Shoots and Ladders doesn’t tell you to “get good”. When I play a 4X game, I play on the difficulty level most appropriate to my playstyle and skill level. The goal is not to be the best at being autistic, the goal is to have fun.You would have to pay me to play this game.
Recently beat crystal, emerald and black on my phone, need a new touch control game to play while I take a shit. I'm a huge pokefag.Never was that into 2D zelda so I'm asking for turn based and slow paced game recommendations. Cheers, RPG enjoyers

Final Fantasy is hitting a slump. Fictional RPG animes are in decline. Rpg Maker sites shutting down.Soon they'll be chanting "Dead Genre!" like it's 2012 all over again.
>>3491503how is escaflowne disposable, are you retarded
>>3492037It's old as shit. We are talking about the modern isekai craze.
I think the fact that isekai is the modern slop genre is a sign of the RPG decline. Every medium and genre go through the same creative cycle. Something like Pioneering, early innovation/creation of genre conventions -> classics -> peak experimental -> meta responses -> ironic genre convention -> post ironic -> mass produced genre slop where the genre conventions are depicted in shorthand. Something like that, give or take a step.Meaning we are clearly post-prime for RPGs and in the slop period that will maybe be punctuated by something good in rarer and rarer intervals as the most talented creatives have moved on to other genres or mediums.
>>3492146You mean you're a SAO actual real honest to god tranny and didn't know it existed. Even normie crap like Tanya and Inuyasha doesn't even fit into your parameters. Go shit up a different board and stay away from this one. All of your posts are bad and all discussion in this thread is unpleasant.
>>3492167It's not /a/, faggot. Sorry that your tranime feelings got hurt.
/tv/fag here, I picked up Baldur's Gate 3 because my friend shilled it to me. I don't understand how anyone takes games seriously. Everyone is retardedly verbose and overacted. Even the mocap looks awful, everyone moves like that coked up squirrel from that shit animated movie Foodfight. The narrator sounds like she works at a phone sex line, and despite video game developers being able to put the camera literally wherever they want and do whatever they want with it, scenes are often too zoomed it, framed poorly, and directed in the most bland way imaginable. No one's face moves convincingly, people just switch between preset emotional states like robots and the lip sync is atrocious, God only knows why they zoom in on faces during conversations. You have next to no reason to give a shit about any of the conflicts in the game, yet the game expects you to butt in and give your epic protagonist opinion on everything, and if you don't, children will literally die because you weren't being a super cool hero every second of your existence. It's ego serving trash for boring people to feel like they have a moral code. That is all.
>>3491707They made it turn based specifically because normalfags would get filtered by rtwp.
>>3492073But anon, RTWP was itself invented to chase the 90s RTS craze and appeal to normalfags...
>>3492073>coping this hard
>>3490619You're right but the LGBTZ are gonna seethe because it's *their game*.
>>3490619>You have next to no reason to give a shit about any of the conflicts in the gameAlso, RPGs tend to force you to "care" about a conflict because your character is being affected by it, despite the fact that you usually have no reason to actually care about your own guy. But since gamers are so full of themselves they literally equate the personality devoid husk walking around with themselves, or have created the character's entire backstory in their head, so of course they like them. Ego serving is an understatement.
Post the worst moments in RPG history.
>>3492074>Its not noticed in Japan you arent supposed to question him you are supposed to know your placeExcept FFTA's story goes against that stuff more strongly than most FF games, possibly even more than any other FF. Not only is the mechanics of Law and the State part of the main gameplay loops (the Judges and penalties), but the gameplay itself REQUIRES you to undermine those systems via the Law Cards in story and in late game battles. I hate to break it to you, but they have hippies and counter-culture in Japan. Even 'oppressive' 'totalitarian' 'hegemonic' states have counter-cultures. A society's "main thread" does not mean that everyone within it is aligned.
>>3492077No shit the country that invented 2ch and lead to this place existing doesnt agree with every retarded thing they are taught and ostricized for not agreeing with? Why stick feathers up my ass and call me a chicken thats an amazing revelation
