I do not care for tactical rpgs
>>3996620You seem like an idiot that tries to hard to default to git gud because you're too stupid to process any other complaints about a game. I'm not complaining about difficulty at all. I'm literally talking about the time it takes to level up all the units you've recruited because you can only do story battles with 10-12, but having 30 or 40+ (which is easy if you try to collect every type of unit and all uniques) means that once the union level goes up by 2 or 3 levels, you then need to spend 2 hours doing skirmishes or dungeon battles to bring everyone else up to that level. When I want to kill things, I just have berserkers with poison weapons and buffs one shot everything, dragoons to one shot beasts, and then a bunch of dragons that are maximized using breath attacks to nuke everything. The problem is that I also want to keep other units leveled to see what kind of abilities they get, and it absolutely does not take only a half hour tops every few hours of story. It takes at least 2 battles to hit the new level cap once it goes up, and it takes at least 3 full rotations for all the units.
>>3996689>all the units you've recruitedSee>>3996689>You seem like an idiot that tries to hardWhy would you do that and halt story progress when you have plenty of filler combat during the story? That's like exceptionally stupid. You waste all the story xp that are like 5x the training xp and waste time training hundreds of units you will never use. I doubt I've ever heard something more stupid this year. Well, an ward is an award, so here you go, zoomba.
>>3996701>You waste all the story xpAt no point was I getting exp on capped characters while I had others that weren't capped, with the exception of Denim. You're wrong and you're angry that I (rightfully) call you stupid. Only retards can't comprehend any sort of criticism about a game they like without trying to turn it into a non-existent complaint about difficulty. >Well, an ward is an award, so here you go, zoomba.I'm 35, you stupid ESLmonkey. It's almost impressive how when retards get called out for crying about non-existent difficulty complaints, they start randomly screaming about zoomers.
>>3996704>you're angryAm not, what a thing to say. I never had these problems. I did like two trainings as I dont use consumables and other self imposed limits as>>3996269>All battles are identicalThat's the #1 reason the game becomes unplayable after a while. Post game has incredibly tanky games and without summons it's a chore unlike any other. Especially as the fucks keep healing themselves. After achieving the real or fanfic ending twice, there's nothing to do. Power gaming in this game is beyond boring, so that falls off, too.
Has anyone a list of the new tactics games that were introduced during the summer fests?. Ost of them seem to be rogue.
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.
>>3992122I've beaten 2 with Cleric alone. She does fairly well with bows.
>>3991560D5 makes Sages pretty much mandatory for most of post game content. Ever since evilities became a thing along with unique skills, it pretty much killed that idea.
>>3996920I'm glad 7 brought back the dude armor knights, the girl is cute but the male one is too iconic to me to be completely replaced by a waifu, now we can just have both.
Now that gookmoot lets me post again, I got these online a few months ago while I was looking for weiss schwarz cards to give to a friendIn the chaos I ended up forgetting yukimaru, hanako and another generic There's a D4 card with the whole cast, but it's Japan only sadly, and I'm not paying out the ass for collectible cards for a game I won't even play, these were like 10-15 bucks off cardmarketThat said, I'm happy I have some kind of physical disgaea merch. Would be nice if they did a new set of this with cards from 5, 6, 7, maybe even the gacha or other nis properties
The best rpg experience (basically an Isekai experience) of my life, hands down, has been permadeath runs in MGO SkyrimVR (one click install) with three simple additional mods. Namely, CHIM, climb anything, and deadly damage.I wake up as a bandit, somewhere in the woods, or maybe as a filthy warlock in a cave. Or a simple farmer out in the hills. Regardless, I stroll around, talk to people with my actual voice, and they talk back using CHIMs local LLM and built-in voice synth mod and facial animations.I'll collect some companions, do odd jobs and quests, and they'll banter in the background. Sometimes I chip in and we have a lovely back and forth. The local LLM also controls their behavior so like, starting fights or singing or dancing or following or just anything, really. Brawl is classic. So you have to mind your manners. The graphics are stunning. And I love throwing a two handed weapon into someone's head and they die instantly (deadly damage mod). But I also die easily, legendary difficulty for realism. And I start again, a new adventure.It's a one of a kind niche loop, but I can't find anything better than it. I'm just posting here in case someone is interested because I kind of wish more people knew how peak this is. This isn't an ad for MGO btw, if you have a better VR modpack/community I'd love to know, but at the moment I believe it is the best option.

If I'm not mistaken you can also run part of the AI locally and demand the more computational-heavy parts to an online providerI still have to try this though, I haven't had the time to set it up properly

I came here to share Falion's deepest knowledge but found out allinall's videos are gone.WTF happened?
>>3997290I have no idea who that is, but if they made lore videos it's going to be shit anyway.
>>3996642You are WEAK, because your father was WEAK and could only mate with WEAK bosmer. My father was STRONG and he conquered STRONG Orsimer women, so I am STRONG. Soon I will challenge him and become chieftain and make great amount of STRONG kids with STRONG women, and will do so until my son defeats me and take my mantle. This is how you keep your bloodline STRONG, you poor merlet.
>>3997291I see. The conspiracy to cover up Falion's findings has spread here as well.
>"You NEED to play Elden ring!

>>3972480Baldur's Gate 1 is the most bog standard, by the books D&D adventure imaginable, very much a good vs. evil storyline, and even that game had a coherent political plot, villains whose reasons were understandable and laid out, secrets to be discovered and understood, and a tie-in to the larger mythology of the setting. And they didn't have a 100+ million dollar budget.

I didn't like it too. The first Souls i played was Sekiro, and it's my favorite. After that i played Ds1 and 3, but I dropped Elden Ring in the second area.

chrono trigger is greatwhen akira toriyama died i completely no lifed the game and got every single endingthe trash mobs are kinda face roll but every boss is a very interesting puzzle to defeat, wish more rpgs had bosses like chrono trigger instead of just meat sticks with 10x more hp than normallast time i broke the game by using a party of crono, marle, and robo, and put all my magic tabs into robo, making him into an insane healer. the magic tabs also boost marle+robo dual techs into insane damage that even does more than luminaire or dark matteri'm probably not gonna play it for a long time but i got my moneys worth

I never liked RPGs. I always liked linear games that told me "go there, do this, you'll be a hero". The games designed around the idea that you reload in case of failure and all quests have one outcome, maybe if you're lucky you get a special failure dialogue.Then I heard about Baldur's Gate 3 and I thought>you know, I have to give it a chance. everyone praises the game as god's own masterpiece, let's check it out what all the hype is aboutNaturally, I started my adventure by creating an ugly character with a silly name - thank god there are still games that allow you to name your character funny words - and off I went. I stumbled upon my first real fight, saved, and spent the next hour trying to win it by reloading every five minutes.A few hours later I understood though that save scumming really takes joy out of the game, so I tried to allow myself to just... save less. To give an example, there was a sick girl that I wanted to, kek, save. The problem was, I thought about checking a nearby cabinet for a potential cure, to which she reacted>GUAAAAAAAAAAAAARDSand some beta orbiter came over thinking I was a thief and at that point I didn't know how to escape the battle so I had to kill him, and since she was a witness to my murder and I didn't want to risk anything, I had to kill her too>Wyll disapproveswell fuck Wyll, I'll buy him candy or whatever and it'll be fine. The whole thing was hilarious, and I wouldn't have experienced it had I saved and reloaded so that I could do the quest "correctly".The problem is, while I've learned how to just roll with small failures, it's very unclear to me how to avoid save scumming before big battles. Like, I know a big battle is about to start. Of course I go to camp to heal everyone, which also generates a save point. So then I go fight, I die, I reload. Rinse and repeat.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
save scumming is basically the only way to play any game that has a save load feature. it's a rite of passage.
BG3 is clearly designed with savescumming in mind. There's even a meme DC99 check at the end of the game with an achievement for passing it, because the retards homebrewed critical success/failure on skill checks, so you always have a completely random 5% chance to pass it for no reason.
>>3986482>How do I stop save scumming?Technically, I've "stopped" myself from save-scumming by reading all the possible outcomes in the wikis (for other games not including BG3).I mean if you know what's going to happen, then you can just choose the outcome you want and don't need to load anything. If it's chance-based however, it'll depend on whether it's my 1st playthrough or not. If I've seen it before, then I don't want to keep doing the same playthrough over and over.
>>3992265>homebrewed critical success/failureis this real? i've noticed something about rolling a 1 or 20 seems fucked in this game
>>3997234Yes, so you always have a chance to fail things you shouldn’t be able to fail, and a chance to pass things you shouldn’t be able to succeed.They also homebrewed perception checks to roll a d20 (your chance to just notice shit as you walk around is supposed to be “passive perception” which is just take 10 + your modifiers)And they made initiative rolls be a d4 instead of a d20 for some reason, which makes modifiers to initiative much more powerful

people are going on about AOE spam being the most broken strat in this game (something that doesn't unlock until like 10 hours in) when sagecrafting and rushing health regen gems is possible within the first few hours AND you can be a martial class for the early game. how wrong were you frauds?
>>3992815JAWS OF LIFE
>>3992815a lot of changes that work wonders together. stuff like active repositioning, environmental interactivity and smackdown which lets you easily take out weak enemies.
>>3992815There are now reasons to use attack, like combo, proxy and back attack. You can also move the character a little, positioning can have some small effect. Unfortunately the story is the definition of idiots plot and the charismatic main character from lad was flanderized so fast, we should call flanderized now ichibanized. It's beyond ridiculous. Lad and iw are worth a play imo. Clearly iw has an atrociously bad narrative.
>>3992827>smackdown which lets'bit overturned. I solo the games, as its too easy otherwise and the other three hit for like 1 damage and the enemies ragdoll after getting 1 damage.

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.
>>3986594The OG cast are pretty OP DLC monsters available from the coliseum, which I think is post-game in the PC version

Let's talk about party-based dungeon crawlers! >What are you playing right now?>Any release you are looking forward to?>Do you prefer a fully custom party, or pre-made adventurers?In my case I have been playing Bard's Tale Trilogy, which is pretty simply but also quite fun. Been looking forward to Mystic Land which seems cool and perhaps a slightly less austic version of Grimoire.
>>3993456reincrawling
Don't know if this is the place to ask this but figured it's ny best shot - I played this steam demo for an indie old school style grid based sort of dungeon crawler first person game years ago , maybe between 3- 5 years back ? Could be more though. The only thing I can recall about it however , is that it had a deep dark blue UI elements , and the tutorial quest took place in this underground cave system , very descriptive text heavy and exposition heavy, and I think the story had something to do with aiding your tribe by exploring these cave systems ? I know its very vague but It's all i have to go on. I tried searching for it in my library and idk if it got delisted or if I'm just retarded but I don't see it anywhere . Or anything that fits its description. Any help is much obliged, thanks !
