>>3998307>Gacha slop Into the trash it goes.
>>3998942For a real "traditional FF" SE should have called Sakaguchi back, in order to wrote and direct the game as he did from 1 to 10.
>>4004129Apparently part 1 is good, but I dislike the looks already
chances of xenogears returning?
>>4006838Beyond zero
So Square Enix scrapped Flames of Fate and started over. What do you think of the new Dragon Quest 12?
▲▲ ▲
It can't be worse than 11.Or can it?Square has never failed to lower the bar of failure.Not only did they fail to keep the Stranger of Paradise team around they lost the Builders one as well.
>>3991705What a shit opinion. Story? Who gives a fuck. Joker 3 Pro is way better than the other games. Puts the switch or whatever newer one to shame. Crazy how much is in it.Unfortunately the main problem is all those insanely time consuming monster evolutions are worse than the standard top tier killing machine derivative.
Guess I'll throw this out there again but if you want just combat and adventure X is good for a few hundred hours. The dungeons are terrible, you can only customize 1 character's class, and a host of other things aren't very good but if you enjoy grinding to conquer the world just because it is there then it's fun.
>>3992596I bought Dragon Warrior 7 after FFX because that's when it came out. 7 is a great adventure. You constantly restore parts of the world through heroic vignettes, which actually feels rewarding. None of the stories overstay their welcome. Darma is such an oh fuck moment. You can exploit the gambling if you want. You can grind jobs if you want. Player knowledge is hugely rewarded as far as jobs go. Jobs are enough of a grind and hard enough to change that you force yourself to overcome areas and bosses with what you have rather than what is optimal. Equipment has varied enough qualities that there isn't really a best.
The final game released
Okay, so how does the franchise end?
I'm really glad you guys are keeping shit spoiler free but I'm actually getting angsty trying to get to Utawarerumono Past and Future. (Still in Monochrome Mobius and it's so fucking slow - which would be fine for a VN but as a JRPG it's so fucking boring). I just want to know, is it a true sequel for the trilogy? Were you satisfied with it? How would you rank it? I want to really know people's impressions on it but I'm scared to find spoilers. Like people talk about MoT hype scenes all the time but I hear nothing for Monochrome nor Past and Present.
>>3992425man ngl I found Prelude lore fucking confusing as hell. I get the gist but the events don't just map together in my head.
bump hello
HELLO PEOPLE
Hello, first time I'm posting anything on 4chan, I've mostly just been lurking around. How does /vrpg/ feel about the Might and Magic series? For me, MMVII is among some of my favorite games, recently started a full knight party playthrough. Sadly the series was abandoned for more HoMM games and mobile slop, but I still kind of wish they've made a new mainline entry, since I enjoyed MMX: Legacy.
Is HoMM 5 campaign any good or do I simply jump into scenarios
>>4000062I only tried the Stronghold one since it was the only one available in Tribes of the East. I jerked off to the ugly orc girl with underboob or something, then never played again. The scenarios in Heroes 5 are terrible, it's super hard to find a good one. There's no way to filter between "is this a wholesome chungus story mode scenario" and normal scenarios, the latter are ultra rare.
>>4000066Well, shit.
>>4000062>>4000066So Olden Era is better than H5?
>>3999653>"where are we" linux>No useful information.No idea what you're talking about, but DOSBox is amazing and you should be able to get it work on most builds.>>3999656Very Quality Post.I do not want to get into Wizardry vs. Might and Magic for several reasons. It's also difficult to compare to a degree of pointlessness given the rapid development in technology of the time.>>4001543Are you allergic to Heroes III? GOG Complete version + HD+ Mod + hex-editing the .exe to play all campaigns in Impossible difficulty with only map-restarts allowed is a really good time, trust me. I haven't yet played Olden Era, and only a little of V, but comparing the many versions--excluding III--is more about taste than anything. Olden Era's raison d'etre is that it wants to be III as much as possible, but for a new generation, so I guess you could start with that if you're completely new and old games give you the ick?
They have this cutie in upgrade version of SMT V I will buy your game now
>>3996756I can smell you're a tourist from 1.000 miles away
>>3999389The secret of Megaten is that aside from the superbosses and literal unavoidable RNG nothing is actually hard and if you disagree then you just haven't found the automatic win situation the devs give you.
>>3994964>male character designed by woman looks like a twinkoidWhy are you surprised
>>4005616>designed by a woman
>>3993948The soul of this cutie cannot be permitted to exist
Has anybody tried playing Crpgs on retro handhelds? it looks cozy. since most of them are reverse engineered it should be possible to port them to anything.
>>4005937>what can change the nature of a kurwa?
>>4005937Wypierdalaj xD
>>4005937based toilet cleaner
>>3989530Also for keyboard and usually mouse
>>3988876laptop or pc handheld would be better lol
>terra memoria>gemmy ass
>>4006593Hideous tumblr art
>>4006593Got it in a bundle, it looks like garbage and the tags it has makes me certain it must be too
>>4006593>takes one look at the art styleLmao, they can’t help but advertise their game is shit.
>>4006593I couldn't get more than a few minutes into this one: what's the actual gameplay structure? Is it mostly a farming sim or is it an actual BoF like?
>>4006631BoF like I guess. It's a cute little game and fairly short.Combat is servicable and story is just meh. That's the big take away, baby's first rpg system game.
anybody played this kino? i'm playing it right now, it's pretty fun
>>3992790>ch*nk demakego back to sleep
bump, still playing
still playing
>>4001948nigga it's been 2 months get on with it
>>4003842no it doesn't
What's the best game for being an alchemist? I've thought about trying out one of the Atelier games, but I really don't like girly anime stuff (although I'd be willing to make an exception if the gameplay is good). I'd rather play as a wizened old wizard. Wanting something where the focus is on alchemy rather than the alchemy being a side mechanic.
>>4006055Gaming wasn't mainstream among boomers. Boomer gamers would have mostly been people who were computer nerds. If you didn't fit into that niche, you probably didn't play games. My parents don't and never did; pretty much none of their friends/family from that generation did either. But none of these people read fantasy novels, watched Star Trek, played wargames/tabletop RPGs, or had any tech- or science-related hobbies that would have made computer games relevant to them. If you weren't in that sphere, games were basically considered kid stuff.Meanwhile, just about everyone in my generation and below has played at least some games, even if it's just FIFA or Tony Hawk or Halo.
>>4006159My grandpa is 80+ years old and he was addicted to Age of Empires in 1997
>>4006159>Boomer gamers would have mostly been people who were computer nerds.Correct.>Meanwhile, just about everyone in my generation and below has played at least some games, even if it's just FIFA or Tony Hawk or Halo.Gaming used to be a fringe nerd hobby, just like the tabletop games and fantasy novels you mentioned. It’s true that those things became more common and popular among younger generations, but “[hobby] was more niche at the time and only popular with nerds in [generation]” and “[generation] famously never got into [hobby]” which is the claim that started this reply chain. If it weren’t for those nerds, none of those hobbies would’ve been carried on down to the younger generations to get into in the first place.
>>4006324*are fundamentally different statements
>>4005783The potions you gain recipes for are always the same, it's only the order which is randomized - you're correct that Gain Attributes is always last (skill level 100), Assassins get the recipe for Poison first, everything else is random. But the reagent potions required for each recipe are semi-random and will change every game; every potion has a rarity from 'common' to 'very rare' and the recipe for Gain Attributes always requires two of the rarest potions. So one character your recipe might be Potions of Youth + Potions of Longevity (both of which can themselves be made through Alchemy), which means in the course of a game you might get 20 or 30 Gain Attributes - incredibly good. The next game the recipe might be Potions of Cure Corruption + Potions of Ultra Healing, either of which are vary rare and extremely useful, so you might only get a few Gain Attributes out of it.Either way it's still a very, very good skill, I'd rate it as one of the best in the game.I don't think it's considered game-breaking in and of itself, for various reasons. Certain characters (specifically potion merchants) can do an absolutely insane amount of scumming to max out their stats at level 1, but that's hardly normal gameplay.
Witcherbros, we eating good
>>3998970>Geralt's story being over is the excuse to end the fucking seriesMany such cases
I was thinking how can people still play DLC's for games that were released many years ago, do they just install and replaythe game all over again every time a new DLC comes out? Then I remember the board is full of normies who actually >buy each and every single one of their games, probably from Steam, where they have a collection of only a few games at a time at best due to their busy lives, and where they probably retain the save files of every game they ever played before just reinstalling them with their purchased game license to pick up where they left.Absolutely disgusting.
>>3999003>their busy lives>Absolutely disgusting.He mad

>>3995998the only problem i have with ciri being protag is that they made her an old hag and totally skipped the part where young ciri gets naked.
I'm not trying to be contrarian, but I hate every character I meet in BG3 and the combat is a little boring. I enjoyed the first two acts of E33, so I'm not being a hipster.
>>4005723im glad im talking with a stuborn retard who brings up unrelated things out of desperation since he has lost the argument.Armor giving complete invulnerability instead of reducing damage is a garbage mechanic that doesnt belong in videogames.
>>4005865>im glad im talking with a stuborn retard who brings up unrelated things out of desperation since he has lost the argument.I am directly responding to what you are stating in your posts.You are asserting that the DnD ruleset is a poor fit for cRPG adaptations, and is only clamored for by “hardcore” players. I pointed out that this is nonsensical because the current 5th edition ruleset used by BG3 is explicitly casualized for people who don’t like DnD, much like how BG3 is a cRPG for people who don’t like cRPGs.>Armor giving complete invulnerability instead of reducing damage is a garbage mechanic that doesnt belong in videogames.I pointed out two examples of how various editions (including the current one) have, in fact, had damage reduction from certain armors. There was also the concept of “touch AC” in third ed to represent things like a disintegration ray that only needed to make contact without needing to necessarily penetrate armor.Aside from that, the armor class abstraction (a combination of dodging, feints and parries, glancing blows, and the ablative effect of armor) does partially model damage reduction from armor. That was the entire point of lower AC = better in early DnD, because in naval wargames, AC 1 represented the thickest armor, from a ship of the line first class. Example:Fighter A takes three hits (all connect) for nine damage each with -3 damage reduction applied to each. Net result, 18 damage taken from three attacks.Fighter B is attacked three times, one misses due to armor class and two connect for nine damage each. Net result, 18 damage taken from three attacks. Functionally the same result.
killed the blond homo the minute he tried flirting with me with his gay anime cutscene. killed shadowmere too. i liked the frog lady, she was cool, but a bit too eager to lick the sweat out of my asscrack. oh and the lady who says "shit" "piss" and "fuck" in a posh british accent, because that's funny and because they did it in that one TV show tooanyway, i dropped the game when i got to the elf caves, it just wasn't grabbing me
>>4006084Act 1 is the best part of the game, if you weren’t having fun then it only would’ve slowly gotten worse as it dragged on
>>4006314They needed 3 years to make the ea part of act 1 and like 3 years for the rest. It shows.
Why are JRPGs so ugly?

>>4005343>Horizon Forbidden West isn't an RPGOK now give me min 100 word reply at least why it isn't.
KNOW THIS, /VRPG/. *NOTHING* CAN CHANGE THE NATURE OF A BOARD.
>>4005965>The ______ OneWhat's the matter, vague writer? Afraid to give anything a fucking name? Lazy fucking pretentious twat, his shitty Numenera setting was even more insufferable. If you'd asked me before, I would have said it just wasn't possible, but I was proven wrong. He found a way.

Dungeon Siege is practically free on Steam right now. Is it worth picking up for the Ultima V and VI total conversion mods?
>>3989817Anytime, mang.
>>3989696Game has some kino music, feels like you are on an epic journey, mowing down enemies on your path.I heard community restored the multiplayer too.
>>3989696Are any of the ds games worth a play? I played ds2 as a kid and stopped somewhere. I don't remember. I'd like a new diablo 2 clone
>>4005436I'd say no. DS2 is much better game because it is almost a game compared to DS1 that is just a creation of lmao microsoft marketing.
>>4006056Is ds2 the best of the trilogy?>almost a gameThat rings a bell. Felt empty, even for kid me.
Will we ever see another Grandia game?
