>"You NEED to play Elden ring!

>>3985832You straw manned me. I said From focuses on the adventuring aspect of RPGs. You know what I mean by that if you have any familiarity with the genre. I didn’t say their games are technically RPGs because you roleplay as an adventurer. Those are the kind of pedantic arguments you DnD virgins get into.
>>3984794True. Too many call it an amazing game, but due to its technical incompetence, I can't rate it more than 8/10. If people cry about how shit games run or how optimization is dead, Elden Ring absolutely deserves to be criticized here, even if the other aspects are good. Game of the year? Yeah sure. Game of the generation? You fucking wish. Among the greats of the medium? Take your meds.
why did he do it?
>>3984794>>3985932I play Elden Ring (even modded) on a GTX 1070 and an i7 4790k and have never noticed any performance issues.

>>3986010passing is an option
I just finished the game first time going 100% blind, not finishing any of the major quests, didin't break the siege, lucking in to the Hellgate and got the "Let the Sleeping dogs lie" Achivement. I guess this is a "default" failure ending? That anyone can achieve if they fail at everything? I'm gonna replay it instantly going more of a non-combat build. How much replayability is there? How much did I miss? I guess alot since I had no idea what I was doing Do all the factions have their own ending? Or background?

/vrpg/ give me advice. My little brother is autistic and he’s been obsessed with making his own RPG game for about 4 years now. Literally 4 years of him tinkering in RPG Maker MZ or whatever version it is.The problem is, he’s genuinely getting aggressive and defensive over it whenever I try to give him basic criticism, and on top of that, I’m basically forced by my parents to draw the concepts for him because "you're good at art”. I can’t even get good pictures of it. And he unironically believes this game is going to be the next Undertale or Omori.The writing is agonizing. How the fuck do I tell someone who has spent 4 years on a project that a protagonist who speaks in the third person like a toddler completely ruins any chance of taking the game's "serious emotional moments" seriously?/vrpg/ Is this what all solo dev RPG Maker projects look like? Just mashed together tropes from popular games? Tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this is gonna be a massive flop if he ever actually finishes it? How do I deal with this without causing a war in the house?
Dying to see what happens to Orgock
>>3981660>>3985647OP, we need more news about the game.Orgock's fans are waiting with bated breath.
>>3973633The quality of a game is a blip compared to marketing, networking, and catering to trends, especially today where people are more concerned with vibes and group signalling than actually playing anything. If his brother wants to succeed he needs to participate in communities, hire a publisher, and make the content appeal to the bluesky crowd and video essayers/streamers. The game itself basically doesn't matter. Undertale was released when consumers had a bit more taste so quality might have played a slightly bigger part but that's still dwarfed by Toby's preexisting status in relevant circles.
>>3985647Orgockillions are waiting for an update
>>3965499>from that day forward he was never excited about anything ever again
I loved the visuals but the story and combat disappointed me.
>>3983869The pixel graphics are nice, but I agree that the combat is a bore, and the fact that there is only one music track for combat is lame because you're going to be hearing it a lot, but it has a nice beat to it so that's nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjLV9paMSE0&list=RDPjLV9paMSE0&start_radio=1
>>3983869it had an awkward level of ambitionthe city was a cool set piece and a one-shot there, or something like >>3984558, would have both been better
>>3984353It's not even fake retro, mate. It's just modern pixel. Otherwise you are, for the most part, correct. 99% of shaders are terrible.
>>3985894The busyness and overuse of movement is modern pixel, but the palette is faux retro.
EVERY single time I see a game with visuals like that game I'm always hesitant. 90% of the time the devs just copy the art of classic games with no understanding of great game mechanics & just rest their laurels on the visuals. Sad.

Would you play a game with no endgame?Would you play a game where you can't load a save?Would you play a game where they can steal everything you own?

>GURPS Q&A From Fallout's DevelopmentPoor lil' Timmie put so much effort into licking the GURPS boomer's zionist arsch, an yet it was all fir naught and he yoinked all the quirky chungus cooking & musical instrument playing skills away from them in the 11th hour.
>>3963951None of the contemporary reviews complained about Fallout>he thinks game critics play games they review for more than an hour >in the fucking 90s when nobody even took being a game critic as a serious thing lmao
>>3983245Considering WotC/Hasbro behaviour and the fact that all the WotC personnel Larian worked with was fired and replaced during the game production, it's safe to blame Hasbro (and then in turn the hollowed out D&D branch at WotC) for the late changes.
fallout 1>vaults are vaults nu fallout(aka everything other than the first game)>vaults are silly big chungus experiments so we can do quirky unique dungeons and top 10 silliest vaults list videos on youtube
>>3984797>vaults are silly big chungus experiments so we can do quirky unique dungeons and top 10 silliest vaults list videos on youtubeVault 15 was culturally enriched.
>>3984797Good, it makes them more interesting
If its so easy you do itCome on, What's your vault anon - surely it'll be entertaining, novel, and interesting and thematic. Right?
vaults were always the less interesting part of every fallout game compared to the wasteland, nobody is actually plays those games to explore the abonded vaults. They're just numbers to put on tshirts.
>>3984801>TacticsBased. Personally I think the main premise (stranded unit of BOS compromising its "morals" with the draft of local retards, mutants and monsters, while keeping the deadpan dark humor and postapo wasteland theme) was the peak of the original Fallout.
I don't know why I play this, I guess everything else sucks but I keep clicking through most of the dialgoue. My eyes can't do that much reading. Wtf are they talking about.

Nu-Falcom sucks. They peaked in early-mid 00s.

>>3985086Objectively, the writing dives off a cliff after Cold Steel 2. It'll be a major test to see if you're a shit eater or not if you continue gobbling the series' nuts while shilling it. This is the turning point.
Growing up (as a console-less loser), I thought that Septerra Core was supposed to be just the "western" Final Fantasy VII.Now that I finally played Chrono Trigger, after decades of procrastinating, I realize with great disappointment that Septerra Core is just a straight up Chrono Trigger rip off with a different coat of paint. There are hundreds of small examples but the big ones>the seven shells are just like the different ages in Chrono Trigger>linear progression through the ages/through the shells until you unlock a flying ship that lets you travel between them freely>lots of revisiting of old locations for extra content (more so in Chrono Trigger) once freedom of movement is unlocked>enemies "dynamically place themselves" on the existing map for combat>clear inspiration in the level design, except made (more) cancerous with lever pushing to bloat the game time in Septerra Core>Ocean Palace people = The Chosen>future age = Junkers>600~1000 AD = Wind City>prehistory = uhh the Blind Korean-speaking Alien shell>Lavos = the Core boss>just a few combo attacks in Septerra Core because they probably didn't know how to implement it rightComment too long.

>>3985778Why do you hate white people?
>>3985810jews literally treat being white as a costume, they say they are white when they want to shit on white people and they say they are not white when they don't want to suffer the consequences of the hatred they stoke. Fuck them and fuck you, you offensive jew.

>RPG Codex's top 100 RPGs of all timeholy shit this is embarrassing
>>3983807They could have rallied behind Swordhaven or even KCD2 if Vavra didn't decide to stab in the back the people he pandered to with the first one.
>>3983853I don't visit the forums, but I like reading their reviews and they thought the role playing mechanics took a step back or did not improve enough. If that is supposed to be the pinnacle standard for cRPGs, and I tend to agree it is, then people are right to criticize their top cRPG rankings since games like Jagged Alliance and Diablo exist as top RPG games. And if I am wrong about their critique and they point to other issues, then they are simply out to trash the game because there is hardly nothing wrong with that game and improved from their first game.
>>3958781still better list than this garbage board would ever produce
>>3985660t. Gregz
>>3975869Baldur's Gate 3 has better combat and gameplay than almost that entire chart. If only we got more like it rather than completely jank shit with unfun gameplay like Arcanum.
It's actually pretty funny that your job in oblivion is to deport Daedra from Cyrodiil and close the border
There are plenty of JRPGS that could be considered "babby's first" to get younger kids introduced to the genre. >Mario RPGs>Chocobo Dungeon>Tomato Adventure >DQ monsters>Golden Sun> Seiken Densetsu 1-3However there are none in the WRPG genre>INB4 FableHas prostitution, sexual acts, marriage/gay marriage, etc. Why is it that WRPG creators are so up there own asses about the white-cope self insertion fantasy and won't allow for interesting styles as an entry point. There are only hyperreal dull brown slogfests.
