People are coming around to this game.
>>3661327>modern rpgs are so bad that people are turning to mediocre garbage from yesteryear
nobody is going to come around to it even when it gets remastered
>>3661375i love usaga but the game needs a full on rework. i do think it would have better pull with more people getting into tabletop stuff these days
>>3661400The type of people getting into tabletop now aren't the type of people who would enjoy playing a video game outside of movie games
>>3661403youre 100% correct. im holding out hope that of all the people that do get into tabletop, a few do because they like the crunch, which usaga delivers in full
>>3661327I love it and I'm bitter that I let reviewers stop me from playing it as a teen. I would have spent so many hours on this game.
>>3661327You aren't playing this game right now. You're just going to make a general for every single saga game and bump them indefinitely because you're an undesirable retard.
>>3661327I haven't tried it yet but it's abundantly clear that the vast majority of people who have reviewed this game do not know what they're talking about. I love Minstrel Song so I will try it eventually.
>>3661431my 200 IQ big brain take is that, the game kinda sucks but not in the same ways that most midwits complain about. some of the systems are just cumbersome.>lots of time spent on the menu navigating on town/prep stuff is too high, takes away from the meat of the game (adventures)>magic system is grindy in a game/series that doesn't really require it, and the payoff is very low compared to weapon art stuff>most of the stats are useless and you can complete every scenario by knowing how to increase strength for high str growth characters or skill for high skill growth characters>the need for a dump panel is retardedTheres a lot of very innovative systems here (monster ecology is a very complex yet intuitive system that exists for the sole purpose of helping randomization feel natural) but theres a lot that needed to be play tested better. I think the only QA person that ran through the game was Kawazu himself, iirc stated in some interview.
>>3661442A lot of the systems are cumbersome and needlessly obtuse. Like, don't get me wrong, the ideas are really cool and it's certainly fucking unique, but it sucks to play. I think a very careful remake/remaster under close supervision of Kawazu himself and at LEAST with a RS2RotS budget could polish it into a real gem.
>>3661327just watched a youtube retrospective, huh?
>>3661537No I remembered a guide for it got made in Japan a few years ago and then people there gave it a change.
>>3661442Yeah, I don't assume it'll be a masterpiece but most reviews I've seen refuse to meet the games on its terms. They all want it to be Final Fantasy X or whatever. I'm looking forward to giving it a shot, I barely touched the ecology quests in Minstrel Song - but they're a cool concept. Excited to hear they expanded on it.
>>3661670>ecology questsThese were pretty good in stalker shadows of Chernobyl
>>3661327probably not, i still see people seething about it, and even the people i knos who should have been able to appreciate it are shunning it
>>3661679there was at least one monster ecology quest in minstrel song, that i know ofi didn't do it though, instead i murdered pyrix for his item shortly after he gave me the ecology quest
