What are some games that are well written to the point of being literature tier?>planescape torment (haven't played because I do not like dnd settings)>arcanum>disco elysium>pathalogic>xenogears/xenosaga>drakenier gamesI'm trying to find games with actual depth to their stories and themes and which actually say or do things that leave a lasting impression, like after reading a good bookI've tried searching but I mostly only find people saying things like rdr2 or bioshock or the last of us, which feel more like tv show deep instead of well written literature deeptried posting on v but i don't think they think too much about this kind of stuff
not rpg tho
megaman star force 100% seriousa kid fuses with an alien who helps him overcome the chronic depression from losing his father and fights a bunch of other aliens controlling people going through their own complex emotional problems and over the course of the trilogy evolves from a distant loner into a hero who fights ancient gods and travels inside of black holes with the power of RADIO WAVES
>>4079829By "literature", do you just mean "books", or more like "high art books"? Metal Gear Solid is written like a convoluted spy thriller, but although spy thrillers exist in book form, they're often seen as cheap entertainment.
>>4079829lol

Black Crypt, Mazes of Fate, Ishar, Amberstar... do you guys remember any of these obscure dungeon crawlers from Europe and indie developers? Some of them were very good.
>>4074768We have them a lot on /vr/
>>4085685There's a pretty obscure graphic text adventure / RPG-like hybrid where you play as a robot scouring the post apocalypse, and you need to keep finding energy to sustain yourself since it drains every turn.Called "Earthshock" I believe, for the ZX Spectrum.https://worldofspectrum.net/item/0006239/

>>4091460Wasn't this at one point a Bard's Tale remake that got a C&D letter from EA and had to rename themselves? Weird art style, like someone took pixel art and smeared it with an oil pastel filter.

>I dont pursue romances in RPGs because I get laid irlNigga you dont have a romance with a redeemed sucubbus or a psycho half elf irl, you have sex with a boring corny office lady
>>4072930>>4087863> They hated anon for speaking the truth.I still don't know the purpose of having classes such as hunter or warpriest in the game. Or OC Donut Steal races such as the Dhampir or Kitsune.
>>4069709How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?
>>4088120>You're arguing for a shittier, boring experience. In Pathfinder if I wanted to roll up a human fighter, I have a multitude of different ways I can do that and result in widely different builds for different ways to approach encounters: >I could do a dex fighter who dual-wieldsFighter with pips in two-weapon fighting>I could do a tower shield specialist who focuses on defensive maneuversFighter with sword & shield style that uses Large Shields>and I could even intentionally use a one handed weapon without a shield to make use of crane style.Single weapon styleWhy are Pathfinder fags so retarded that they get filtered by even the most stripped down form of AD&D? Lmao
First playthroughs over, really liked the new mechanics and the politicking but it seems like the ending skimmed over potentially the most important and cool part of the game. I would be shocked if there was no DLC introducing a new chapter after the millennium council
>>4078593The second game shows you what lunatics the both of them are, the part where they go to Magra to talk to people and are willing to change their minds seems to only happen in the "Come and See" branch off the Renegade path in Jerian. What actually sends you to the Peak and Foot is also extremely vague when you even have the New Faith guy tell you that oh he knows he's really been sending his followers to the Foot as part of a long con to try and make the gods learn to show mercy, spoiler it doesn't even work.
I don't know how well Jerian did, but with Jerian being an Arknian focused game, I now feel like the one thing we're missing is a Sorcerer focused game where we get to play as a mad mage.
>>4080156Yeah that would be nice, all the magic lore in both games was great. Would be complicated with all the many possible endings though.
Did I miss something, Orgrif in one of the endings mentioned teaching some half blood child? Am I supposed to know who that is or is it a sequel hook or what?
Great game, I liked it even more than Brante. All the new lore was cool.
What are some games where unique, high-quality or rare equipment can remain useful for large portions of the game, if not the entire game? Especially if it can be obtained relatively early on. An example from recent memory is the falcon blade in Dragon Quest 11. It can be found like halfway through the game's first act and has comparable damage to swords with much higher attack power thanks to its unique ability to strike twice, making it useful throughout a good amount of the second act.
>>4077997I concede it's definitely the best DQ when it comes to actual roleplaying and stuff like that."stuff like that" includes the best fairy, of course
I feel like this is how JRPGs should be. Towns should only sell weapons that are better in raw stats and could in theory carry you through the game, but the cool magic weapons with unique effects/passives are hidden in caves and dungeons.
>>4056782>MorrowindDid you have a specific piece of equipment in mind?Sword of White Woe in Balmora?Or that "lost Hlaalu mine" where the reward is a Daedric weapon of your choice?
>>4051090>4 job fiesta>won't tell you what special abilities or attributes that your equipment has,i don't remember this in the Class FAQ i read. what does the Main Gauche do again? was there some hidden abilities the ingame menu wasn't telling me about?

try my game /vrpg/, ive wanted to build it since I was 10 years old, now I bring to bring to life the vision I had for the game when I was younger, I hope you will enjoy it anon.https://dusk-online.vercel.app
just released 1.1.0, suffice to say lots has changed with the game, I added mining & crafting, legendary weapons with unique sprites, legendary bosses, etc
>>4070775Pretty neat
Bumping cool thread.
huge askcan you make it playable with controllerkuku
>>4070775fun romp. was worth my time
I tried this in early access and never kept going past the first dungeon. I picked it up recently and it has quickly become my current favorite game. I've been playing skyrim for a decade maybe and thought if I had to hear jarl balgruuf talk about a dragon one more time I'll go insane. Let me just say this is the perfect replacement (though not a perfect game). But it is not some mere "indie skyrim clone" but its own unique thing with a lot to appreciate.I'll start with the bad>expected amount of jank from an indie title, nothing totally gamebreaking though>hitboxes can be iffy, or enemies get caught on terrain>others have reported minor questlines being broken and require reloading a saveThe average>the writing is generally fine, the Arthur lore is interesting, but has some poorer dialogue in places>graphics aren't exactly next gen>a few minor details are blatant ES copies like starting in a dungeon and the lockpicking minigame>quests are not strictly linear, there's usually a couple options on how to complete them, but don't expect total freeform>combat is not incredibly difficult, but you encounter several major difficulty spikes, but it's relatively simple to overcome those with upgrading gearThe GoodComment too long.

>>4039633It's a good bordering on great game.The people in this thread knocking it are either: boring, coomersonlyfans, or potato havers.
>do the menhir thing>before i can move on i have to backtrack to do chores for some fuckerswhat in the filler is this shit?
>>4070903Agreed. There's a lot of jank and the story is all over the place, but it not only hits a specific niche but improves upon previous games in that niche.
the Magic in this is utterly useless on higher difficultly levels, you cant kill anything. and the whole weapons balance is just bizarre. I was causing more damage with a bow and arrow than with a two handed sword, it seemed like a bug.
Felt like vanilla skyrim combat but with TK Dodge installed and jankie hitboxes/enemies. I wanted to like the setting but it doesn't pull it off well, isn't very dark, game itself is pretty ugly, and I got bored 4-5 hours in. I've tried it twice now and neither time could I get it to stick. Seemed like lategame might have cooler builds and weapons to play with but the start is just so underwhelming and mediocre.
this is one of the greatest rpgs of all time yet few will ever play it because of some irrational obsession with only playing "official" goyslop, even if it's the most inexcusable dog shit ever made.Then when people *do* give a fangame a chance, they go straight for some kanto meme garbage and walk away unhappy.
>>4082551Is not edgy and the routes are fine.You're bitching about an outdated version of the game from literally a fucking decade ago, none of that dumb shit has been valid in ages.
>>4082541Inkwellhttps://www.pokeharbor.com/2025/10/pokemon-inkwell/>>4082537There's really not, maybe just at the beginning. Of course there's going to be more dialog than "Go the badges, again, for the 20th fucking time."
>>4077987>The Pitokay this shit is so boring im done with the hacks
>>4085281the pit is pure combat focused, and you set the rules
>>4084011nice
I wanted to try this series out for the cool mech designs and the more unique take it has on turn based strategy compared to FE or FFT. What should i play first?
>>4079358I wish Gun Hazard 2 was made
>>4092195Isn't the epilouge of 5 post-3?
>>4024920I played 1 and got sick of it halfway despite liking the style and gameplay
>>4094576Yeah but it's pointless.>>4094659It definitely gets into a bad habit of spinning its wheels. Once you get a good team going it's basically the same exact shit on repeat for hours.
>>4094569just play Mechwarrior 3 and 4, brah.or Armored Cores.they're not 2D though.
For those of you who hate the current iteration of it, can you name a better series? Because I cannot think of anything comparable.
>>4093074Stranger of Paradise was a bad idea that misinterpreted what the crystal time loop bullshit was about in the first place.

Just booted it up, it connects to those multiplayer servers no problem, you just log in as if you already had an account
alright but really where are the Nox gawds.
Never played online but this was a cool singleplayer game. The wizard was by far the most fun class. I loved how you aimed spells by using the mouse to rotate ur characters direction felt satisfying when you nailed a dude with a heavy spell
>>4093705>felt satisfying when you nailed a dude with a heavy spelllanding death ray was always really satisfying.the online is nominally playable right now (not that many players but more than there were for years occasionally)
>>4089020Oh hell yeeeeeeeee. Nox was my #1 game as young teen. CTF was always my favorite because you could play to win or just fuck around endlessly laying traps and fragging people. I did hit top 10 on the solo deathmatch ladder when the game was in its prime. Ah to be young again.
What purpose does it serve? It has an extremely bland setting, an awful engine graphic and art style, mediocre writing, weird map design, iffy combat, and itbis crammed with absolutely awful crowdfunding shit.Why did the team even waste their time, was it just a scam to make a salary?
>>4072048pathfinder is so retard that I can't even manage to make myself play for two hours.the first pillars is so so. I like turn based rpg. off course the retard game was not working great like that when I've first played the game. I think they have added this game mode after some time.anyway the pillars 2 is nice with all the pirates and the ship. better than 1
>>4095454>only 2 hoursPathfinder is really really good around the 30 hour mark. The problem is there's another 100 hours after that.
>>4071815>You had to be there.Unfortunately. The first classic high budget CRPG in God knows how long.Big names, old formula.And what a fucking disappointment it was. Big names mean nothing when they are just washed out managers with overblown ego (and genuien retards like Sawyer). The old formula of isometric RPG is worthless when the gameplay, locations and rules isn't worth much.And the fluff sucked really hard. Both the setting and the plot. It was just painfully bland and uninteresting. Reminded me of Neverwinter 2, the plot was written in a way that made you physically tired at some point.
>>4079902>Owlcat games have all been abysmal dogshit in both writing and mechanics and encounter design. They are simply not worth playing.Rogue Trader is pretty good. You should give it a try if you like RPGs or 40K.
>>4094058You can steal the elf away from the orc, he's befuddled over her switching to monogamy and choosing your character over him.
New Trailer (August)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87TNASkXOWQPrevious Trailer (June)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH3ox5krci8It's hard to get excited when they're just showing us what we expected to see. There's nothing to talk about.Except for the fact that Rebirth never another "intergrade" DLC while we waited another 4 years.
>>4074444>on ePSXeJesus christ and I thought i had bad opinions. When did you stop emulating, fucking 2007?
>>4067424CidDAMN
>>4074060>We know what Shinra wants.>We know what Hojo wants.>We know what Weiss wants.but what the fuck is Genesis is up to?He's renown as the protector of the planet, so is there a greater threat coming?
>>4094555>>We know what Weiss wants.Literally who?>but what the fuck is Genesis is up to?Literally who?Are you guys playing fan fiction bullshit or what?
In case you didn't hear, Part 3 will have a physical disc, but it will still require a download.
Any tips for someone that's new to the series? I'm getting my ass beat by random fodders.
>>4092099why are there no shields in this game???
it's over for me isn't it? I'm getting attacked by water mages too and I can't go and tell him I need to get in because I was asked to....
>>4094196get away from the place and wait 24 hours. if that doesn't work, put all your valuables in a chest somewhere then go let them beat you up and knock you out and take your stuff. They should let you live and reset aggressionthe only other options are cheating or reloading the save
the lock puzzles are more fun than the game itself
>>4066441>Not only did they not address "le secret mountain pass" that Gomez usedBut they did, there is a way to cross from the Free Mine to the walkway over the lake near the New Camp without going through it. You need the climbing skill to get there, though.
