What rpg are you currently playing anon?
>>3988574Skyrim. This shit is so immersive I'm slow walking through the streets of Solitude.
>>3988576can I be honest here that I never really liked it that much.
>>3988577Suck my dick, faggot
>>3988579there is a reason everyone plays stealth archer
>>3988574Ascend from Nine Mountains
>>3988576I recall OP saying RPG, not action adventure.
>>3988574I have a few otg. Right now I'm playing Lufia 1, Mother 1 and chaos world. Finished Destiny of An Emperor 2 for the first time a few days ago. Gonna do magical world of wozz or Arabian Nights when some time frees up.
>>3988574Persona 5 Royal, for the first time, getting very very bored, I thought the Titanic palace was the last one and apparently there's like 40h more of gameplay and its 80% combat, and I'm tired of the shitty combat.
>>3989486JRPG's are all like that
>>3988580Skyrim is to ES what FO3 was to Fallout
>>3989750where is the great tes game made by another company?
>>3988574I'm waiting for the Dark Heresy beta to come out on pirate sites so I can try itPlaying some crusader kings 3 until then
>>3989486let me save you the trouble and post the only good part of the rest of the gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAhZrsMaafU
>>3989810Those are warhammer races?
>>3989834It's art of demons/deformed cultists of the 4 chaos gods
>>3989836Didn't know it's a thing.
>>3988574returned to ffxiv after taking a break on it right before shadowbringers. im enjoying the expansion a lot rn. they may have gutted most of BLM but im still having fun with it. not that i prefer it over what it was before. i started playing on the tail end of endwalker. i'd like to get caught up in time for evercold but im not holding my breath
I'm playing Fantasian, really like the mass random encounter cuckbox >>3989836The more I look at the slaaneshi the more I like it, great fucking design>generic coomerbait>machine underneath
>>3988574Daybreak
>>3988574I just finished, if we count rogue MD stuff, Shiren the Wanderer on SFC, the main 30 floor dungeon. The side stuff looks interesting to me but I can do that another time. Great game. I was playing Siralim Ultimate today for like 9 hours and it's cool, but I've been having a braindead spam murder of crows strat with like one attacking monster for single target for about half of that. Hand's a bit sore from lazily mashing the E key. I'm trying to figure out what I want to play next. I could jump into another Wizardry game, I could jump into some old PC stuff like Zeliard or maybe just something more traditional, idk. Almost too many choices, ya know? I really wanna play Dragon Quest IX but I'm a little worried I'm missing out without at least one friend to go through it with.
>>3988574i'm playing persona 5 royal for like the 10th time, but i've modded the current playthrough. some of the unused skills and traits seemed interesting, so i'm trying them out to see if they would fit in well or feel out of place. i've added back in social link/confidant skill acquisitions for (most) party members, as in persona 4 golden as well, although akechi's seems impossible unfortunately. i've spent weeks planning this out, theorycrafting it, testing the unused skills and traits to see if they work properly (they do), and balancing it. i got so tired of it and replaying the same dungeons over and over again, i needed a break to try to approach it not as if i was testing it, but as if i was trying to have fun with it as a new run.it's working so far and it's different enough, yet familiar enough. i'm quite happy with it so far. i still need to see if sumire joining the party early fucks with everything or not.
>>3988574Rogue Trader, as a heretical pyromancer. When I play RPGs, I usually am nice to everyone and so being an evil bastard is a very different experience for me. I'm slowly corrupting my companions by encouraging their worst tendencies.
>>3990106I don't get why they censored Feri saying Oorah. It's her catchphrase, she says it like every third text box. But nope, troonslaters didn't want to let the child soldier (who loves it!) be military themed.
>>3988574>LLM (Deedchink) + Sillytavern + loli harem cardSuperior than any game made in these last 30 years.It's the future, gentlemen.
>>3991133Is this your first playthrough?
>>3991357Yup. I already know a handful of them are going to leave me at some point. For now it's just funny to wear my chaos cape and gloves in front of an inquisitor. Kinda pissed he killed the robot hellhound I got on Kiava Gamma, though.
>>3991366based
>>3988580i play paladin because there are far better stealth sniping games out there
Just finished up a DQ8 playthrough, struggling to figure out what next. DQ8 remains fucking stellar, even if it's easy. This is actually the first time I've ever gotten all the minimedals in a DQ game, wasn't really worth it. Maybe I'll stick with the Retro gimmick and give Mana Khemia another shot.
>>3991378>are far better stealth sniping games out thereWhich ones are better than Skyrim?
>>3991385sniper ghost warriorsniper eliteghost recon breakpoint
>>3991398Thanks. I remember considering Breakpoint for the co-op. Maybe it's time to reconsider before it becomes a retro game.
>>3991378I play paladin in every game because it’s the right thing to do Bonus points if there’s no paladin class and I have to create my own
>>3991432breakpoint is far cry with realistic engagement ranges. so you're sniping guys from a kilometer away and watching the bullets arc into them>>3991436i play paladin because healing is the most efficient use of mana and a mace is the most efficient form of one-handed damage for someone who isn't constantly attacking
Shin Megami Tensei on the super nintendo and I gotta say even in 2026 im having a great time with this game sure, its not the hardest game with how broken it can be but the atmosphere, and music really do a lot of the heavy lifting and find and recruiting new demons is really addictive honestly I kind of wish they kept some of the mechanics from this game like the fact that demons don't level up so the only way to get stronger allies is to fuse them which means you have to be constantly recruiting demons to make sure you have stock to fuse and stronger members of your party it would fix a lot of the issues 5 introduces with allowing you to really power up your demons allowing you to take some pretty low tier demons all the way to the endgame which im not nesscarily the biggest fan of you can still technically do that but you are going to be at a real disadvantage
>>3991379>Mana KhemiaYou could also try Atelier Iris 1/2/3In AI3, you can switch to a "job class" and do combos like this:https://youtu.be/M8QhK5FFpco?t=94
>>3991436All kinds of divine priest classes, for me.
nothing. RPGs were my favourite genre but lately nothing does it for me. i keep bouncing off of everything i try. feels bad man
Tales of maj eyal!
>>3997372What genre are you playing at the moment?
>>3997503>level 40>open a chest even though they contain only pain and never anything useful>die instantly
>>3997689shmups mostly. i think ive been frustrated with how slowly most RPGs take to get to the fun part. my favourites are things like etrian odyssey or kaga fire emblem but theyre never getting new entries.
>>3998623>shmupsName a couple. I don't think I've ever touched the genre.>how slowly most RPGs take to get to the fun partTrue. Morrowind only starts being fun once you hit the like 40 hour mark.>etrian odyssey or kaga fire emblemWhat's the gameplay style of them?
>>3998643i got into the genre through zeroranger which i think is a great starting point. other ones i like are blue revolver, ikaruga, devil blade reboot, graze counter gm, and layer section. i also started getting through metal slug recently which i feel run and guns are basically just shmups anyway.morrowind is great its probably the last rpg i got really into (only played for the first time last year). but yes i think the first 40 hours before i became a crazy kill god was from the roleplay/imagination part not because the games are actually fun.etrian is just a very snappy very thoughtful turn based jrpg. i like all the party building and planning and then learning the enemy patterns and executing, it kind of feels like monster hunter but as a jrpg. fire emblem are strategy rpgs which play a lot faster than fft/tactics ogre/disgaea which ive found kind of too boring and slow. they have a lot of interesting depth in how you use unit types/the importance of position/etc which i find fun and challenging.
>>3997751#yeah
>>3988574MOTHER 2
>>3988574Hello stupid stinky person.I am currently playing Yes 2.
>>3988574DQ8 and Lightning returns, Ive been playing both series in release order on and off for 3 years or so. Like the 8 cast so far but kind of regretting the 3ds version, no random encounters keeps leaving me way underlevelled. Too early in LR to tell, I liked the combat in XIII-2 but the story was laughable so if its more of the same it should be enjoyable
>>3988577This isn't reddit, everyone already agreed on it being shit 15 years ago.
>>3988574nothing at the moment, the most recent one I finished was Greedfall. I have a KotOR playthrough I've been putting off for a while so I should probably get around to that, I've also been thinking of playing Witcher 3 since I haven't touched it since it first released and never did the DLC
Secret of Mana, I'm at the tree palace. It's ok. The story puts me to sleep, the MC is bland and hasn't said anything intelligent so far, and the second half of the game feels rushed.With that said, the graphics and music are amazing.
None.
I've decided I'm going to play every RPG in existence, at least that's how it feels. Trying to get through the trails series and I'm in zero right now. I'm triple welding some games so I don't get burnt out. So to go along with that I'm also playing Dragon Quest Builders 1 and Monster Hunter stories 1. So after I burn through those at least the non Trails one, I intend to play through DQ 1 and 2 remake followed by Tales of Graces f remaster. Then after those get into the octopath and live a live games
>>3988580It's fun and better than anything you could do in the previous games.
>>3988574Pic related.Currently stuck as a Mage, there is a room with two poison druids and I can't find a way to kill them without dying to that fucking poison afterward.Normally I would just pepper them from afar with Acid Cloud, but here they start directly in melee range and keep meleing unlike most casters - and acid cloud has an AoE so if I use magic I kill myself first. If I go full buff (Shield, Shield+, Strength+) and blow through a few health potion I can stab them to death, but then the poison take forever to dissipate and I die even if burn through the entire staff of potion accumulated since the beginning of the game.They are the last enemies alive on that map and while I *could* just be a coward and run through the room without killing them, it would feel really bad to leave with unclaimed kill XP.Checked the wiki and as a Mage is seems like there are no secret spell I could cast that heal or remove poison. The "Berserk" spell does jackshit, they don't attack each other.Burned through all my non-identified consumables in case one was a scroll/potion of cure poison or a 5sec god mode, but no luck.The one forum for this game is so dead it's only on the wayback archive. The wiki is barebone. No idea how I can win that encounter.
>>3989810tzzey here looks kinda cool with all the eyes. really cool design.
>>4003806Would you say the game is generally unbalanced or is it just this one encounter that's screwing you?I just downloaded both the Windows and DOS versions on a whim since those screenshots looked cool. Windows version didn't fill up the screen and crashed after a bit and while the DOS version looks a bit better the mouselook is brutally janky. What version and settings are you using?
>>3988574Dragon Conqueror
>>3988574FFXV. How did they spend a decade on this piece of shit game and not realize how fucking bad the combat feels
>>4004075Gladiolus and Ignis play much better but the base game is inexcusable
>>4004072>What version and settings are you using?Dos with DosBox-X, because the game really need savestates.Not because it's hard, because the maps take a long-ass time to explore and the game only let you save in town. The demo let you exit&save whenever, which was much better.If you want to do it without that, the Exodos version work out of the box perfectly, mouselook included.>Would you say the game is generally unbalanced It's my first play-through, and I didn't pick the class everyone praise on that old forum (warlock), so my opinion on it is probably not that valuable.>magic has a HUGE failure percentage. Even has a mage. Even with rerolling stat growth on level up to get max-ish Magic stats.>magic has a TERRIBLE regen rate. Even has a mage (+200% mana regen). This would be fine if killing an average enemy didn't take roughly a full mana bar.Playing the game is 1 minute exploring, 10sec fighting, 5 minutes alt-tabbing, 10sec fighting to kill the other mob, back to 5 minutes alt-tabbing.In the demo I picked knight (full melee class) and had a much better time, if a bit boring. Wanting to use the magic system and do something that swing a sword all the time might have been the secret masochist option.Warlock is a gimped mage that can still fight in melee decently, guess that's why it's "meta".From what I tried the entire third of all classes that are rogue-based are pointless, as rogue stuff doesn't do shit in practice so they trade away power for nothing.>is it just this one encounter that's screwing you?Just that one. Most other "hard" encounters where just a matter of patience and peak-a-boo. Ended winning it by giving the Berserk spell a second try on a hunch, I *think* it's not a classic "attack any target even ally" debuff, but a "activate KHORNE mode and only use melee" one. Blasted the two druids with it and then stabbed them to death, which ended with half the amount of poison stack and was survivable. Or maybe it was just luck.

>>4004077Noctis is shaping up to be up there with Squall with my favorite protags so it feels like a cop out to play as the others but I'll try them out. I like the rest of the game, but whenever a battle starts it just feels like I'm flailing around and warp strikes feel like non-impactful glitz XVI had issues but the combat was at least fun
