How come no one talks about this game? it's like every good RPG had a baby.
>>3555240Oi oi, so much fun.
>>3559149Piece of shit game. You start at high speed playing as Shizuka beating the shit out of enemies and then you are abducted by a long-ass tutorial slop for retards. Then again you feel the combat, range attack, melee attack, block, dash, parry, skill tree... Pretty exciting, isn't? Yeah, to move to the next region there is a fucking 754380957234809 hours-long dumb boring puzzles for pretentious players to feel "smart". Do not play it.>>3563176kys
>>3563758Why do you even wake up in the morning, waste of life.
>>3563758Newfag.
>>3563758>wizz bang boom, bing bing WAHOO!you just want to mash buttons.
>KINGble IIIThe board is saved.
>>3563264Ironically if Fable was advertised as a Adventure Game with RPG mechanics instead of a pure RPG it would be remembered as one of the best adventures games but unfortunately that didn't happen and Fable is a RPG and a mediocre one
>>3563275my ex gf also loved fable 3i think its okayalso pic related
>>3563264I genuinely don't remember playing Fable 2 and 3 even though I have the achievements.
I only played Fable 3. I had to pirate it because it's unlisted. I kind of liked it for what it is but I dropped it when I couldn't use the giant furnace to kill my daughter. I lost all my motivation to continue playing.
What engine are you using?Or are you making your own?Do you miss RPG Maker if you used it before?Post progress BTW.
>>3564165Never used reddit. I just post like that, sorry.Its hard to, not offend someone with these things. I hope the intention comes across okay though.
>>3564163>When you say "something that is not RPG Maker slop." and point to 1 project, you're also saying all the other projects shared here fall under this 'RPG Maker slop' category.So what. If that's how he feels, it's how he feels. Although I'm curious if he's lost. I enjoy people attacking my game. Constant praise is very nice, but an attack is useful too.
>>3564311based and gets it pilled, your anger only makes me stronger
Started working again after 3 months. I am kind of surprised how quickly I remembered were I left off.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>3564311>>3564163To quote the great nodeveloper-philosopher, Aggydaggy:>Who cares what a nodev thinks?
>playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker>having fun>just cleared the troll castle>can't stop thinking about starting over with a different characterWhat's wrong with me? This same kind of shit stopped me from ever finishing Morrowind.

>>3562219The problem with post-bioware nu-crpgs is that they're mostly storyfag games with prebuilt companions and that nonsense. If it was designed in line with what classic crpgs were, i.e. you start by designing a party and taking it through the game it would be fine. You then can design the characters in line with what you think you'll need and their synergy.
>>3562972>storyfag games with prebuilt companions and that nonsenseBut thats exactly what bioware did
>>3552909Me with Jagged Alliance 2. I like the game but always restart because I fucked up and got my whole squad killed.
>>3562571As a player of 1e, 2e, and the computer games - they are. They're designed that way, especially 2e. It's not necessarily a bad thing. The general reason is that people rarely see level 20.
What was her fucking problem?
>>3564244The problem is that Dragon Age was never good, they haven't made a single good Dragon Age game.
>>3564244mommy!
>>3564244Why was this literal 10/10 a Templar? She could easily by the wife of some nobleman.
Her main problem was that she never fucked the champion in his High Town estate.
>>3564244her only problem is her being forced to become the final boss after some nonsense about her taking that strange rock and becoming mad, made me wonder why i sided with the templars in the first place , literally no problems with her until that part, she even spared my sister after i insisted, she was clearly not twisted by the stone at all at that point
Really enjoying phantasy star iv but the insane encounter rate is really interrupting all the exploration, the only minor positive is that the menus are fast and you can escape most of the time easily, but I still find myself having to use save state scumming to get through dungeons and explore every path which turns them into tedium.Any other games like PSIV in terms of RPG systems or setting (sci-fi) but with reduced or no encounter rate?
>>3562663I will never ever take a saga tard seriously
>>3563083If I remember correctly there is a fanpatch type thing for PS2 which makes your character not forced to leisurely stroll everywhere he goes, which makes the backtracking slightly more tolerable.
The better scifi/fantasy. Phantasy Star or the Xeno series?
>>3563271Love them both, depends on what you're looking for. Xeno series is heavier on the sci-fi elements, Phantasy Star is more fantasy with robots, laser swords, and space travel. Phantasy Star 2 is the most technologically advanced setting in the series. There's some really cool sci-fi elements though, like Motavia being turned into a green planet and then the climate systems failing by the time of 4 so it's reverting back to desert.
>>3563296Remake 1-4 as a single narrative.
New Madou Monogatari announcedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r1qhG_ePX4
>>3549326The puyos really clash with those generic anime characters. They really should've went with a different art style.
Will they be able to top this moment?
>>3559966Puyo is a spinoff of Madou Monogatari, a series of first person dungeon crawlers. Shit happened, Puyo became the more popular part of the series, and Sega ended up with the rights to Puyo while Compile Heart got the Madou series.Most thought that would mean a new true Madou game would be impossibe, with the closest being Compile just making up a new setting and characters like the curry themed on on vita, but somehow sega amd compile got together to make it happen.
>>3549326Why are the graphics so shit, looks worse than mobile games. It IS a mobile game, right?
>>3549326Looking forward it, seems like a truly proper Madou game since this one is actually being devloped in collab with Compile, unlike that Curry God game people keep calling a "reboot" I just Arle and co. were there, hopefully they will actually show up in the game even if as only NPCs, hopefully...>>3563815Never understood what they were trying to do by adding blood and gore to the visuals when the actual script itself still kept the "haha so funny lol" mood of the original version, the dissonance is just so jarring
Like what does it represent?Is it necessary?Can it convey its purpose better?
>>3560967It's hull points actually.
>>3553034Honestly, best not to think about it too much.
>>3553041if you do that the first thing people are gonna ask is to see the exact numbers
>>3553065It is cool though in Helldivers 2 to have broken bones and limp towards extraction. Unironically immersive as fuck
>>3557975>in uncharted, according to the Devs it's supposed to represent Nathan's luck, and when it reaches zero it means, your luck's run out and whatever happened was fatal.Isn't that basically how it works in DnD? I thought in DnD HP were an abstraction of how much damage you could take or deflect before actually getting hurt.
Looking to play through FF11 for the story. I was looking up private servers and found this list and I am very much overwhelmed, where should I go if I don't want to grind too much and just see the cut scenes and get through the main game?https://github.com/XiPrivateServers/ServersAlso I'll probably wanna do the artifact quest for some jobs, since thats like how, how you do a black mage story quest line.
>>3559910True, you should just watch the story on Youtube, then hop into a private server and enjoy it at its peak rather than pay monthly fees to the corpse of Squaresoft on an ancient game reduced to a husk of its former self. But hey, the game is on sale sometimes and three times a year you can play for a few days without paying! lol
I think it's ok to play this game for the story right now but the endgame is trash since the adouline era was over and RoV stuff was added to the game, i started playing the game in 2009 before Abyssea and my favorite time was when delve and skirmish was the endgame content, abyssea was fun too when ninja and blm and thf got invites.The game is kind of dead for years now and is not worth paying monthly subscription, pug shouts are dead and only mercs/rmt are shouting. Also the game is really old now and the graphics are looking worse than ever and the game doesn't have any basic features any modern game have.
>>3561274I think the most egregious issue is the menus/ui, the game is originally from 2002 and it feels like it. Every other MMO I've played that been around that long modernized their UI at some point. This game feels like a GUI on top of a MUD, you basically play the whole game from the command line.
It's was a neat experience in 2002-2004 but it got old quickly after the PS3 HD era.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou5ub11luq8I never saw this amount of people outside the main cities, kinda missed the boat on pre-CoP FFXI.
I was never able to get the PS2 version because of the requirements, PS2 with a HDD Hard Disk Drive and a Credit Card and the original copy of the game and i have to go through playonline which was hard. 20 years later and SE still make it hard to play online.
>>3558298They literally write novels about the exact same RPG you're bashing. Do Mass Effect fans really read these books for the gameplay? Or for story and characters and shit?
>>3555503I played it for about 20-30 hours, I think. Maybe 1/2 the way through, give or take. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't all that fun or compelling either. Some of the memes about it are kind of right, like Peebee being relentlessly ugly, one of the earliest examples of wokeness by trying to make people think being ugly is attractive. Cora has a nice ass, too. I can forgive her dyke-theme since I'm a fan of tomboys. Other than that, I don't really remember that much about the story other than a generation ship and a fresh start... perhaps a testament to how forgettable it is. I wouldn't say it's a game that everyone would automatically hate, though. There are some interesting things about it, or at least something there that made me stick around for as long as I did.That all being said, I was also a fan of Fallout 76 and wasn't a fag about the launch problems, I still enjoyed it for what it was... which I joke about because the one thing about Bethesda games that I hate is how awful the story, dialogue and voice acting tend to be, which I often ignore completely in Bethesda games and just do what I want. Still, despite all of 76's problems, what I actually enjoyed the most about it at launch was actually what everyone else was crying about, and how the game seemed devoid of NPC's and it was just a bunch of old zombies, new zombies and super mutants. Not having to suffer through or actively avoid Bethesda's shit story/dialogue/voice acting was great.
>>3555503Yes
>>3558100Just bang her and skip her loyalty mission she will still survive ME3
>>3555644do all side missions you can before doing priority missionsif you are on PC I highly recommend:>expanded galaxy mod>take earth backThese are two mods that salvaged the main story's pacing for me.>expanded galaxy modSo throughout the game (and based on ME1+ME2 stuff) you get assets, aka your score of how strong you are before the final fight. The ending is impacted by this score.Expanded Galaxy Mod makes this feature far better; every quest will feel like it has actual impact, and your score will rise/fall as the campaign continues based on battles or key events. Makes it actually feel like there's a war on.>Take Earth BackMakes the final mission to retake earth far, far, far better. You'll actually see your decisions and allies represented at the end of the game, really giving a sense of scale to it all.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Are animations the hardest thing to do when you are an indie dev? I have noticed that a lot of low-budget indie games lack animations for the characters
>>3561677>Are animations the hardest thing to doWell it requires them to draw a couple more frames of their characters. Not a big deal.It's just indie slop. Bare minimum.
>>3561677I refuse to play games with static pictures pretending to be animations, as the other anon said, its not a hard thing to do and the lack of it just screams "i'am not even trying".
>>3561652no damage pop-ups?
>>3561659Thanks mate>>3561670That's the plan.>>3561677Yes it's hard especially if I'm going to have multiple animations for every 2D token. That would add on a year of development and tens of thousands of dollars at a minimum. I don't know if this game will be profitable enough to justify it... animations won't make or break the game anyway.
any advice on this game. I almost got my ass kicked twice during the first missions.
>>3564189>titania the mostFor me she ended up being average. Barely got her stats to 20 at level 18.
>>3564198she's also a promoted unit that you start withwhich means she carries for all the hardest parts of the game and also is a low investment unit over all.one of the best characters in any fire emblem game, easily the best of this one
>>3564177>>3564189Astrid takes a bit of babying (but only a bit cuz of paragon) to get caught up, but once you do she’s pretty great. It helps that she’s good on the map she joins (bird laguz get shot) so she can get a couple kills and level ups in that wayGeoffrey seems okay (i mean he’s a paladin so he’s good just by existing) but I never really used him because he joins so late. And by that point you’re drowning in good mounted units that you’ve already invested resources in.I’ll throw out a push for Tormod as an underrated unit in PoR (in RD his availability is pretty ass unfortunately). The fact that he gets +2 movement is incredible. There’s no Canto, but he’s the only guy who’s going to be able to keep up with your mounts, and with 1-2 range baked into magic and his decent stats he can get a lot done where other mages would waste turns just repositioning.
>>3564220I immediately fed Astrid some bonus EXP (for half the price) levels and she was good to go. All other mounted units have been lacking, while flying units are killing it as usual.Yeah Tormod is highly recommended, the movement bonus is great.Princess Elincia became a MVP as well with few bought levels.I've also kept Volke around, he ain't bad.
>>3564220tormods +2 move is really good and you do get a canto ringi just find magic to be underwhelming in that game
What is your quintessential "four guys in a row" JRPG?
4 uninstall wizards
>>3564224For me, it’s four knights with white magic secondary
>>3564222it's such a shame every time they remake the games they keep going with this awful look
>>3564261For me, it's SNES emulators
FF6 for the 4 niggas. but there are a lot of great 3 nigga games too.
Wow this game fucking sucks. I was a tastelet at 10 years old thinking this was really good back in the day cause I liked ryudo. The story is trash. The villains are trash. The other party members are trash. Ryudo stops being funny halfway through. The gameplay is over rated especially when you consider random encounters are mostly solved by a single aoe attack. The towns are boring. The dungeons are boring. The progression is barebones and forumulaic (town - > map - > dungeon with zero variation). Theirs no exploration. The music is trash.Only nice things I have to say about it is I think the dreamcast graphics are quaint. And the customization is fun enough.
>>3560814o-only kinda gay?
Xtreme niggas rise up!Wished somebody would make mods for this, even a randomizer
>>3561291An Anon a while back said he wanted to make mods for Xtreme, but was having trouble figuring out how the files worked.It's a shame, because of all Grandias it's the one that would benefit most from fairly simple QOL improvements, if nothing else, eg. having the option of selling stackable items in singles, rather than having to dump all the ones you want to keep in storage first and then withdrawing them after.An undub patch does exist, so someone has cracked how the audio works at least.
grandia 1 is the best and feena is cool
>>3563035Damn
If you think about it honestly and objectively, looking at "pure" RPGs (no action involved = no aRPGs, whether it's hack and slash combat in Morrowind/Diablo 2 or shooting in Deus Ex), there is no excuse to leave Baldur's Gate 3 out of your top 10.I would put it in the bottom five of it, right under Baldur's Gate 2. They have different strengths and weaknesses, but overall they are quite similar.
>>3564313>BG3 is just BG2 with better writing3/10 bait at least make it believable
>>3564492Did you even read the dialog?
>>3564595She's 100% right. Give Irenicus a generic emasculated elf voice suddenly he isn't banging goats anymore.
>>3564620>SheLmao I knew it >>3564492is trans just like all BG3 fanboys
>>3562683My top 10:>Morrowind>Final Fantasy VII>Fallout: New Vegas>Fallout 4>Skyrim>Final Fantasy VIII>Witcher 3>Wrath of the Righteous>Baldur's Gate 2>Baldur's Gate
