It's Monday once again. What monster collecting or monster raising games have you been playing? What upcoming ones are you looking forward to?
>>3981799>Dawn and Dusk are a bit grindy and have huge mazes easy to get lost.I really never understood the main complaints about the Digimon Story games. Almost all of the grind in the DS games was back loaded to things that most people probably didn't even do, it was only ever the postgame content and specifically the final boss of the first World DS game that needed anything more than normal progression. The maps too are very simple dungeons like pic related, despite people trying to paint them like they are obscenely large dungeon crawler mazes.Digimon discussion online is always strange like that, I suppose. It always feel like the criticism from people only comes from those who don't play them much or refuse to engage with any of the combat mechanics so they had to rely on grinding. Not just for Story either, World cops so much as well. Like how with Time Stranger you had tons of people complaining about how easy it was only to find out that they've been abusing the farm mechanics by grinding money, grinding scan data intentionally or using bugs like the broken health personality skill.
>>3985580TORIFUNE and the final floors of Dreamer's Monolith are absolutely sadistic. Fucking Christ.
>>3985580>>3986369play more drpgs
>>3980675>>3980619Time stranger is fucking boring. The story is also ass.
Steam added tags for 'Wolf' and 'capybara' but still no Monster Taming tag.
Red pill me on this game. I've run out of RPGs and want something to play. I remember playing this as a kid and dropped it in like an hour. All I remember is something about gay color orbs in combat. Is it worth trying again?
>>3983132>I know the game is piss easy, but it is insane to believe this game eliminated grind.I get what you're saying, you have to grind a bunch if you care about maximizing stats, but since there's no need to do it I don't think it matters unless someone can't get over missing stats.
>>3983286I mean, the entire of the game is the many characters you can play.
this was the one with like a ton of characters right??? worth it just for that alone, even if some of them are obvious OP
>>3983828and yet you can finish it without using them all, sort of like how you can still beat a pokemon game by using only your starter and filling the other slots with HM slaves so that you dont have to fill up one of your attack slots with a shitty move like flash, it saves up free time for you to focus on other things or maybe even possibly play an extra game since you dont waste time trying to pointlessly grind up your shitmons or side fodder you'll barely use due to the amount of people you can use in chrono cross
>>3984428>this was the one with like a ton of characters right???Yeah.>HarlepostingBased.>>3984453It's been a while since I've played it but I'm quite sure I just used the three strongest characters available at any given moment rather than bothering to level them all up.I'm an efficient motherfucker like that.
I think that Fighterfags puff themselves up by trying to portray themselves as the yes chad but are mostly just insecure about the fact that they want to play an unga bunga class but don't want to look like a moron for doing so. I have more respect for (Anti)-Paladin/Barbarian types who know that all they want is big number damage hits and nothing else. This is why they shit on people who like to play spell casters while weirdly enough the other two don't seem to mind so much.
>>3984991>(Anti)-PaladinNot a class, lost /tg/ faggot.
>>3984991>garbage zero-gameplay anime RPG Maker sludge thread>garbage opinionThis thread is extremely low quality and you should feel like a real retard for having made it.
>>3984991I loved Mogeko Castle and Wadanohara but I couldn't push myself to finish The Gray Garden. It was just too boring I'm sorry.
>>3984991I don't care about this topic, I just fucking hate this character and I'm glad she got vored by her hotter and more likable sister.
>>3986638Hot
There's a sale going on, so I picked up a few titles I haven't played yet. I don't really like FuRyu games though.
>>3984987>Is there even that many?There's like 10 different mobs and around 8 to10 reskins for each and more unique boss models than mobs from what i've seen
Trinity Trigger looks like a classical JRPG. I just looked up average completion times, and it's under 20 hours.
I was in the middle of the Greed boss fight when the power went out. I was winning, but inching the units around hazards is a pain I don't want to do it all over again.
>>3986579It was pretty badplay Alliance Alive if you want something traditionalish
>>3986599>Alliance AliveI liked that one but they only published it
What are some good monsters for the early game in XIII-2? I also heard you can unlock some of the OG XIII cast. Is that a post-game thing or can you get them earlier? The game is pretty fun so far and lets you engage in combat system much earlier than XIII.
>>3986594plots sound stupid. girls are fine. sexsexsex ahhhhhhh...
Best way to play these two games? apparently both the Sega CD and PS1 versions have some pretty questionable localization/censorship and although I've heard of fan translations existing, I've been unable to find them anywhere. Also the NA versions apparently have some wonky balancing compared to the JP version, which is a problem as well
>>3984359They are shades of plum, a purple tone. Faggot.
>>3986504>arguing about the exact name of an obscure color before finally settling to name it for an uncommon fruit>and then calling the other guy a homophobic slurHmmmmm....
>>3986513>plum>uncommonDo amerisharts really?
>>3986504>eats brown plumsgross
>>3986556>is brownlol
is anyone playing this?
It's just an smt clone, play smt if you want smt don't let these people siphon your money with a buggy plagiarized product. Demanding 20 dollars for something like this is just absurd
>this game with no monster catching mechanic is a clone of a monster catching gameIf you used your head just for a second you would notice its actually ripping-off Etrian Odyssey and DisillusionIts pretty much the exact same structure of a EO game hidden behind the pseudo-intelectual pretentious bullshit of Disillusion as a coat of paint
>>3985935It's very clearly lifted from SMT for the ui. I don't know about the gameplay
>>3985935I don't care what it's ripping off of, all I know is, it's ripping off of something and I personally don't approve of it because the game looks like boring mental illness/troon sewage.
Is there a mod that gets rid of the ugly portraits?
Shitty aesthetic and wacky memery aside, I like this game. I liked the overall story and I liked how both sides you can choose had a legit argument for them. Usually for games its like one side is>super duper evil muhahahahaha and you destroy the worldvs>goody two shoes where everything works out and this is the devs obvious choice you should pick
>>3985155Nope, there's a way to do it without Gippers, with Holy Detonation (or if you really want to kill Valor, blackmailing them by kidnapping Raegan). Nor do you NEED to fuck over the refugees, you can actually balance them with the Marshals with some effort to the point they're both happy.Just because there's not clear speech checks doesn't mean there's not an objectively best choice.
>>3985178>holy detentionWith how many people complained about the grippers on reddit, its kinda disappointing that they added an alternative way, but at the same time atleast you have to sacrifice one player-made char to make peace with both factions in that dlc.>balance them with the Marshals with some effortThe fact it requires effort and knowledge that you probably wouldn't know in your first playthrough already makes it better than most other rpgs in the diplomacy department.
>>3984404I tried playing it shortly after a Wasteland 2 playthrough and just wasn't feeling it at the time, nothing wrong with the game in particular I think I just got burnt out.
>>3984404Try wasteland 2 instead.
>>3985367Wasteland 2 was OK but Wasteland 3 was shit. This is logically consistent.
Did any other RPGs ever have level design as creative as the first Kingdom Hearts? Tons of platforming, secrets, riddles, puzzles etc
>>3985955KH1 has a weird level design philosophy where despite being an action game, half the content of every level is random stuff like riddles, trinities, platforming challenges, (enemy) puzzle challenges like white mushrooms, and shenmue-style "find the correct guy to talk to" stuff like in shenmue.KH2 went the complete opposite direction by turning every level into a big combat arena. There are a handful of levels in KH2 like Agrabah and Hollow Bastion that have some of this stuff but nowhere near the amount it was in KH1.
>>3986106That´s probably because the original KH was trying to keep mechanics associated to Disney games (but translated to 3D). You know, stuff like Mickey castle of illusions or the adventures of Chip & Dale which were sidescrollers. Back then it was probably conceived as one of those collab fanservice games... I don´t think anyone expected it to become so big that it could rival FF in popularity, they just struck gold. And then ruined it by releasing tons of subpar games as it´s customary
>>3986177>And then ruined it by releasing tons of subpar games as it´s customary Honestly, Birth By Sleep kiiiiiind of scratches the same itch that KH1 does in my brain. In retrospect that game feels like one section of a Disney theme park, though a very wacky, clumsy, poorly made one which nonetheless still gives you what you came for. Maybe KH3 does too, I haven't played it.
>JRPG fans think that children's games have great "puzzles" & level design
>>3986489They're kind of like adventure games without the ballbusting difficult puzzles. It's very neat IMO
What game or games had your favorite quests? Could be side quests, main quests, or just some interesting ones.
>>3985999Arcanum. Plenty of interesting side-quests abound.
>>3985999Witcher 3 had entertaining quests
Zelda, and it's not even close.
>>3986278What kind of disability makes grown ass men think that toddler games for the Nintendo are the best thing since sliced bread?
>>3985999fable doesn't have great or intricate quests but it does have some memorable ones, like the one where you cuck a ghost in 2.
Are there any rpgs with a similar concept as geneology of the holy war? As in having a first generation of characters that you play matchmaker/eugenicist with that directly influence the second generation cast? Awakening kind of had this with its gen 2 but they used time travel shenanigans and are relagated to late game sidequests, which fates does as well except with an even lazier excuse than time travel
>>3984740Wildermyth would be the closest, but it's more of a "heroes of legends have children that will have to try to match them in deeds and fame" kind of vibe.
>>3984740the Argest War series
>>3986222Agarest just suffers from the trash fights in between story nodes being tedious.
>>3986405And the story nodes also being tedious.
>>3986222>idea factory
post builds
>>3984931he might agree with that, but no, wrong guy
>>3981245I always play normal. And then if I find out there's extra content for dom I make a separate uber optimal character just for that.
Anyone tried to do a rocket launcher run? It doesn't look like a very...smooth experience
>>3986217grenade launchers and fusion cannons exist
>>3986217eidein did, I think, but didnt finish itits not a smooth experience, its not supposed to betheyre heavy expensive weapons that arent meant to be used all the timethat said>heavy metal + specced quick pockets + beast of burdenshould do the job, carry multiple loaded RLs and just switch them after firingif I ever play another psiblade or other highly evasive character, ill use the srpg to blast the ground when fighting a bunch of robots
This is way better than the shitty deus ex sequelsThey should of forked over the licensei dont care if it's not an IS(or even really a rpg)
>>3985665People who think and talk like you don't make any meaningful decisions. I hope you think about that when you die after accomplishing nothing.
>>3985850gayest post on /vrpg/ award
>>3986129Quoted the wrong post >>3985665
>>3985665>This is way better than the shitty deus ex sequelsi got stuck at the car-driving mission. so it sucks. that part kept crashing on my shitty P4 rig back in the day. and no patch to fix it?also the gameplay was basically Crysis Call of Duty, except with crappier graphix then Crysis 1.
What’s the /vrpg/dict on this game?
>>3983212So basically, it is to Gothic what Underrail is to Fallout.>*S** types (NPCs) be like>"Yo so it's a frickin banger that improved everything!?">*N** types (real humans):>"Ah I understand, it's what happens when NPC midwits try to recreate something they didn't understand."
>>3973746Agree. The gameplay and graphics are good, but feminist shit and brownoids are everywhere.It destroyed the game for me, and I never finished it. Good thing I pirated it.
>>3983212>AI generated plotI did some testing and ai writes really well given the right input and all. Easily better than 75% of all people. It holds narrative structure very well, meaning no all over the place plot either. Unlike most games. Drova has no ai plot, don't be fooled.
I'm enjoying it. I do have some issues, but it's mostly minor nitpicks. I want to to finish it, and probably will do another run later.
>>3973567Was the update any good? Might do a mage run, despite combat being samey.
Fangbros, we lost so fucking hard.
