Fuck Warhammer 40k, what a waste on a boring gay ass setting. 2024 has been and gone. Are (You) going to make 2025 the year (You)'re game or demo is finally complete? English translation of Rebirth came out a month ago
Graces F Remastered is coming out in a few days. 2 days left for Japs They should remake Persona 4 with Persona 5 style dungeons. >One of the most flawed ARPGs ever made
>Still love it to death
There's just something about this game that keeps me coming back time and time again. "Pillars of Eternity was chock-full of writing styles which experienced writers tend to advise against," he said, his nose twitching. He glances to the left, then the right, then up, then down. You notice one of his sleeves is a slightly different shade to the other. "In fact, you could say that the writing of Pillars 1 was bloated, and constantly interrupted the flow of -" he paused, yawning loudly and scratching his backside with a lazy pawing motion - "dialogue. Like people don't need to know - " time seems to slow, and you feel that once upon a time in another life, this man was a farmer "- a bunch of useless details to get an understanding of who a person is. Where you meet a person and how they speak can communicate it with good writing." He said, wearing a rag-tag tunic, frayed pants, and with a slightly unkempt beard, hinting that he was some sort of peasant. has this 9/10's legacy been tarnished by how every subsequent game in the series has been 5/10 and below? Which game to start with? Are the games easy or hard (I do not care either way just curious)? I dig the art style and feel curious about it. >be me many years ago
>dragon warrior 3 on the gbc is my favorite rpg
>unlike the other rpgs I played at the time I get to make my own party and there isn't a lot of talking or boring puzzles
>the game purely focus on exploring the world on your own with plenty of freedom and a lot of content
>it looks amazing for a gbc game too
>get dragon warrior 7 for Playstation
>Wow it's going to be like 3 but a lot bigger since it's on a home console
My disappointment was immense, not only the game looks awful for a ps1 title but I wouldn't mind that if it has any of the things that made 3 great, instead it's the fucking opposite of everything I loved about 3, I don't know how people can say "all dragon quest games are the same!"
What sequel left you utterly disappointed? Im gonna defend this until i die It's once again AE's birthday month. Do you have fond memories of their games? Possible Reign of Winter Pathfinder teaser by Owlcat. Opinions on this adventure path and how it would translate to their style of crpgs? Does any RPG deal with conspiracies like Deus Ex? Undertale Yellow's 1st year anniversary happened very recently. How do you think the game's aged? Did the devs answer the questions you wanted?
Are you developing a fangame? Share progress! Turn based combat was borne from restriction, not creative decision. Game developers didn't make turn based RPGs because that's what they wanted to make, but because it was the only way to simulate in-depth strategic combat at the time. Now, with technology being what it is, we have ways to do what the Greats of yore wanted to but couldn't. By partaking in and/or creating works with this archaic system you are not only a luddite, you are ironically also an uncultured philistine with no regard for tradition. You are the worst of both worlds. What's the difference between a spellsword, battlemage, sorcerer, and nightblade? The ver 2.00 update is coming soon.
Innocent Rules's translation is almost done too. Its over, he sold out his sould for Soros money. I fucking hate the state this industry is in. Fucking zoomers probably gonna suck him off anyway because "ok boomerxD" mentality

Does xenogears get better? I'm at the part right after becoming the battling champion and before what seems to be an imminent purge on Kislev by Gebler, and it's really getting tough to keep going bc everything feels so inconsistent. There are moments where it's great and the story is interesting and the mysteries make me want to know more, and then it'll be sidetracked for an hour or two by clunky gameplay or story that is just shit, like a hamfisted fighting game or sewer level exploration, when i just fucking want to know the next bit of the actual story 
I used to hate JRPGs and i had a hard time getting into them, but after a lot of attempts i've finally got it and i've been playing them constantly for the last few years:
>Dragon Quest
>Final Fantasy V, VI and VII
>FF Tactics
>Tactics Ogre
>Fire Emblem
>Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross
>Grandia 1 and 2
>Shin Megami Tensei 1-3
>Persona 3 and 4
>Romancing Saga 2 and 3
and so much more. These games play similar and are easy to get into, they offer decent storytelling and setting, fun combat, responsive UI, great music (on average better than western games), and cool weird-but-original monsters design. Sure, gameplay wise most of them are not as complex as CRPGs, BUT they are FUN, snappy and quick to play and respect my time, simple as that.
When i play CRPGs, especially pre-Fallout CRPGs i have to deal with slow clunky UI, games not working properly on WIN 10, bugs, reading manuals, bad pacing, cryptic puzzles and gameplay mechanics, drawing maps, slow or clunky combat system (real time blobbers, Ultima VII, RoA, TES), inconsistent difficulty... meanwhile i can just put any JRPG on emulator and eveything will run flawlessly and i am guaranteed to have fun, at least for a while depending on the game. Even bland shit tier JRPGs (FF2, SMT If, 7th Saga) are still enjoyable, meanwhile, shit tier WRPGs (Ishar, Lionheart, Ultima 8, Might and magic 9) are a huge nope for me.
I can still play and enjoy Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Arcanum, Icewind Dale, Planescape, Might and Magic 3-8... those games are timeless, but JRPGs are more fun for me overall. >abilities, held items, weather, terrain, entry hazards, trick room, and the gen gimmick (megas, z-moves, dynamax, tera).

There's something to be said about more simple RPG plotlines that japan offers. Well i fucked her and would do this again. At least shes human and doesnt like bullshit, unusual for women Is this RPG any good? its cheap on steam atm and honestly as much i like Mass Effect series i need to have my run with classic RPG from time to time I just bought this game. Please tell me I did OK.

I fucking love this game playing a neutral good leaning silver dragon born based around ice magic right now. Having a ton of fun. Why did this game go so hard? Are there any RPGs like it out there? Am I only who excited for this game ?
I remember playing the first game when I was child, finding and beating Hades in last huge dungeon was so hard. This game was basically my introduction to Ancient Greek mythology. After playing Xenosaga I am really craving for some space opera jrpg so I set my eyes on this... but apparently all games in the franchise are online and I don't really care for MMORPGs.
Should I bother with it? 
I do love me some in-depth combat in my RPGs.
What are your favorites?
I've recently played Stoneshard, pic related. It's early access, so I recommend giving it a pirate like I did. I really love it so far and intend to buy it when they actually finish the damn thing, it's just fairly barebones so far. I ended up choosing the mage character and had a really rough time at first, the game is pretty unforgiving. I went with pyromancy and was getting my shit pushed in every encounter, I'm pretty sure I should have went with Electromancy instead for all those debuffs. I can't really give it much of a review since there unfortunately isnt much to it yet, but I recommend keeping an eye on it.
Before that, I played and beat Skald: Against the Black Priory, and that's definitely one of my favorites now. It's a very simple game as far as mechanics go, but refreshingly so. It's one of those where resource management is super important. Combat is fairly satisfying though, it's all grid based, same with Stoneshard. I went with a pure mage in that one too and it was actually really rewarding, especially after I unlocked Thunderclap. That single spell is probably the best ability in the game, you can stunlock every enemy on the screen every turn so long as you hoard mana potions.
10/10 highly recommend. It'll run on any old toaster too.
Now, I'm thinking I'll give the Wasteland games a go, they look neat. What would you recommend? 
I finished Fear & Hunger 2: Termina with all characters on Masoχ-S/M. Here's my final character ranking based on objective gameplay factors.
>S tier
Max consistency, no exploits needed to win the game.
>S- (exploit) tier
The easiest way to beast the game on the hardest difficulty if you use "exploits". Whether something qualifies as an exploit or not is subjective but it's easy to see why they're relying on things that go from "kind of overpowered" to "outright [de]bug abuse".
>A tier
It's honest work, but it's consistent.
>B tier
Would put S to A characters here, if you picked suboptimal starting skills.
>C tier
You get at least one useful reliable thing from your character's start.
>D tier
You get nothing, you need to get lucky to survive, highest demand on player's action skill (dodging enemies, planning your route well, etc.).
The most obvious exploit right away is the debug tile that gives you a rifle + bolt cutters. You can, in example, empty the rifle into Chaugnar in Tunnel 7 for a free extra early soul -> possibly earlier Weaponcraft -> Meat Grinder. The Chaugnar fight is easy to fuck up even when you've got good gear. Then there are Rher dimension exploits
>infinite food/small keys/money (and fast) from the neighbor near the Golden Gate in White Mold Apartments (accessible to anyone)
>infinite bear/booba traps from the top left darkness corner in the Broken Shack Rher dimension, accessible from the ritual circle
>extra Sylvan healing from Mayor's Manor ritual circle (requires entering the Rher dimension from Golden Gates)
Finally, you can get infinite Gro-goroth affinity with Blood Sacrifice, so if you use that you don't need to draw a symbol. Not as huge as it might seem though, you only need one circle to max Gro-goroth affinity (I would recommend using it in the manor). Drop your favorite Kenshi stories below ill go first
>Be me solo hiver martial artist
>Underestimate the Phoenix get captured
>Night comes break out my cage kidnap phoenix and run
>Get him fully naked beat him to death then bring him to UC for bounty
Great Success Postem lads!
Doesn't have to be the hottest, although she can be, as long as you'd wife her.

wtf I'm seething right now
this game doesn't even have a final boss What are your top three JRPGs of all time?
I'd say:
1. Chrono Trigger
2. Persona 2
2. Tales of Symphonia Installing this, what should i expect? is Square Enix solely to blame for how terrible this game is doing? why do indiies even bother with meme publishers at all Is it only my impression that most of jRPGs are just bait for sex pest quasi-peadophiles? The appeal here is very specific, in wRPGs is just every kids dream to be basass knight thay fucks shit up. Not being gay underage boy with kindergarden mage companion in quest of shitty romance drama Even though RF5 was a letdown, does anyone have the next Rune Factory on their radar? The idea of getting hyped for an end of life Switch game seems pretty stupid, but the waifus/husbandos dropped today and the game is coming out in May
https://youtu.be/DDcFzgjVYII?si=HsQrJLVAMO2kleSR >Some autismo literally makes a superior rpg maker using a game engine (godot) than enterbrain when does this trash get good? why did they stop making first person dungeon crawlers? So guys I bought a Switch lite and the sound and visuals are meh. Anyway, I bought Kingdom Come Deliverance and it's a borefest. I think the game is simply not fun on the Lite.
Last consoles I had were ps3/xbox360 and 3ds. I have no gaming pc.
What games are good on the Lite? I mostly like rpgs, both western and eastern.
Is DQ XI fun on a small screen? Just bought the entire D&D classics set, has everything from Pool of Radiance to Stone Prophet. What am I in for? Any more (c)rpgs that let me auto and spam skills on cooldown? this is one of the best crpgs I played last year. it's highly nonlinear and very tightly designed. stats are actually very impactful and if you try to minmax and leave some core stats unleveled, you will see consequences. having charm 1 will mean you need to roll every time you try to talk to someone because people are that put off by you. having a focus of 1 means you can literally trip and fly into things regularly...etc. there are multiple ways to solve a quest. you can get drunk and insult NPCs to the point where they refuse to talk to your. if you have high science and tinker you can literally build an army of robots to follow you around and attack your enemies. if you're have high charm/speech you can get NPCs to follow you and fight for your (you can abuse this to lawfully kill certain NPCs you don't like). this game is fucking amazing Sexpestbros its our time to shine

Thoughts? Favorite game?
Favorite soundtrack?
Favorite girl?
Also posts some hard to find Urushihara art if you have any Who's the best girl in FFVIII? Oops I chose the evil path again This one always sticks out in my mind Summon Night is a good series.
Can we get a thread going? 
Dragoons became popular because they look cool, but in practice the Jump move is not really that useful. It takes longer than simply attacking, and in practice the damage-per-second (or damage-per-turn in FF3) tends to even out the same as if you had just attacked multiple turns in a row. It also allows the Dragoon character to avoid damage, but most of the time I either DON'T want to avoid damage, or avoiding the damage won't matter.
If the enemy is using single-target attacks, then I need to be cautious with keeping vulnerable units alive (notably a white mage). A Dragoon is NOT a vulnerable unit, they have high HP and high Defense, not the best but much better than a mage. By Jumping, I reduce the amount of targets the enemy can choose. In a party of 4, my white mage has a 1/4 chance of getting attacked, but if my Dragoon Jumps, it becomes 1/3!
If the enemy is using multi-target attacks, then I'm going to cast party-wide heals afterward, so most of the time avoiding the damage with Jump won't matter because the Dragoon is getting healed anyway. Sure there's a bit more to it than that (i.e. heal spell might not fully heal the damage taken) but generally it holds true.
Bad game design! But they do look cool. This game is the colsest thing to my dream game. If only it had a high level campaign mode where you lead armies in like in fantasy. Plus some quest variety would be nice. Would be so awesome.
Is the sequel any good? 
So its not a new thing that people will create their own rules to self enforce a different kind of playstyle. The most obvious being the Pokemon Nuzlocke where you nickname every pokemon, only catch the first thing on each route and release it when it faints. I've tried it a few times and before the games got so easy every move one shots the enemies it was a pretty fun time. But what other even more autistic examples can you think of or have tried yourself?
Solo self found for arpgs is a pretty common one but honestly thats just how i play them in general because my friends only play turn based rpgs.
I do have one friend that spent like 200 hours doing a "merchant run" of Oblivion where after leaving the tutorial sewers decides to become a merchant and put all his points into things like speechcraft and encumberance and never carries a weapon and walks from town to town down paths trading and upselling to get stuff like horses and a house.
They are odd rules but i can get it. It not an rpg but i certainly enjoy single biome minecraft worlds where i have to go out my comfort zone and try new things. Which brings to mind stuff like the famous "FFV Four Job Fiesta" where a website rolls you up a job for each character and the moment you unlock it the character has to stick to that till the credits.
Whats some rules you have made up to try and inject new life into an rpg you've played to death? 
This so far feels like an overall step down from Tower of Time.
What I like is the combat and the idea of multiclassing, while none of the characters are as unique as the ToT heroes the ability to mix and match is a lot more fun in my opinion, since in ToT you'd gravitate to a few paths/abilities that make your team broken and go for that.
What I dislike here is mainly the maps for combat encounters and the fact that every map looks the same, even if you stop going to side missions(which would be a very bad idea since you miss out on research and crafting material). ToT had enemies constantly spawning in sure, but they never appeared out of thin air, instead their spawn points where pretty obvious on the map which meant every fight your kiting strategy always makes sense. Here because of the pseudo stealth system and the non-instanced design of encounters enemies just swarm in onto you and you have very little oppurtunities to kite them because every single map is super open with the expectation that you'll be using the cover system(which plain sucks if you're playing on Insane/a glass cannon) so it becomes a game of funneling enemies into environmental hazards and abusing your limited AoE skills out of the ass.
The whole proc gen/side missions makes things a lot less interesting than the tower too. The biggest thing I feel is missing are the secrets and rewarding exploration which doesn't nearly hold a candle to ToT.
Also the voice barks during battle are god damn infuriating mainly because they had the brilliant idea of having your siblings scream very loudly when attacking/being attacked and their VAs aren't as nice to listen to as any of the ToT heroes. >That party member you absolutely hated on your first playthrough, and benched, but warmed up to in subsequent playthroughs and promoted to first team starter
Who was it /vrpg/? For me it's pic related. DPS powerhouse and her banter lightened the mood a fair bit. Neverwinter Nights games have shitty graphics, but there is some melancholic, dark athmosphere quality to them that I haven't encountered in any other 3D game. It might be one of the only games that managed to translate the dark fantasy vibe from isometric RPGs to 3D. Is it even possible to recapture that feeling again with newer engines? This is a Megaman Legends apreciation thread, please share your thoughts about this top best incarnation of the blue bomber I think i am strange in my opinion black souls I much more interesting than Black souls II What do you think? What's your favorite Langrisser game? Picked up the pair on sale, but have heard mixed things about it (too easy, not-a-rpg, first one is better, etc etc). However, I don't see many talking about the story much, which makes me think it's more about stats and combat.
Would that be correct?
Is there story enough that the first one should be played first? Or is it irrelevant?
Cheers, lads. What is it about Atlus games that make them so popular in the west, while Falcom games can't really get over? I look at the image on the right and I think, "this looks cool." I see the image on the left and I think "this doesn't look like it's for me." As a non-weeb, Atlus games look good to me. Falcom games are really off-putting when I first see them. >he hasn't played caves of lore

Tips:
>phone version is better (ui is whack but works better on touchscreens)

>the game starts to make more sense once you get a tank, just follow the main story
>train against monsters at the monster spawner thing to unlock traits from specific ones that don't respawn. Meditation in particular is good.
>gear is diabloslop but make sure you've got good weapons on melee fighters
>adjust party arrangement on the the inventory screen (why???)
>upgrade your pickaxe with ore at the blacksmith
>food can heal MP mid-battle in a pinch
I'm sure there's a lot more I'm missing, it's a very dense little game Are the Dark Sun games any good? I want to try some of the old SSI pixel games and I know about this setting from pen and paper gaming. Is Shattered Lands or Wake of the Ravager better? 
This thread didn't go over well on /v/, so let's see if /vrpg/ is actually intelligent enough to understand and discuss this important topic.
Final Fantasy 2 was the last opportunity JRPGs had to tread down the path of actually being legitimate RPGs. The simple act of being able to learn and say "key phrases" was already something that Western RPGs had been doing for years and years, and this small element gave Western games far more depth and breadth of characterization than their Japanese counterparts. It was this element that made FF2 both unique and controversial, but the series rejection of it afterwards had a resounding impact that is still felt in JRPGs to this very day.
Take an average JRPG townsperson for instance. You talk to them, they say their 1 line, and that's it. Short of the devs adding unique dialogue for specific story flags being set, you will never have any further reason to speak with them ever again. They serve no purpose. They are one-dimensional.
Now take a townsperson from Ultima VI (pic related) - who has a name, a story, an identity, possibly vital information, that you can learn by talking to them. The things you learn from them can point you towards other quest lines, other vital characters, towards the end of the game. And based on what you learn later on, or where you find them, you may have several reasons to talk to them to see what new info they have for you.
This is the critical operator that must be re-introduced to JRPGs to straighten them back onto the course worthy of them bearing the title of "Role Playing Game." This is the element missing. This is something people think they like about Persona, when Persona has a bastardized version of it that still does not constitute role playing. Damn I hate to admit it but this game is kinda boring. I'm at rubiss' tower in the underworld but I'm struggling to get myself to finish it's just such a snoozefest after awhile.
8 > 5 > 6 > 4 > 11 > 7 > 9 > 3 
The RPG scene is absolutely loaded with pseuds who think just because a mechanic is somewhat esoteric and intimidating to newcomers, it is therefore deep. Nah, often it's just bad design. Morrowind's attributes add zero gameplay depth; they are mathematically redundant with skills. E.g. the Intelligence attribute governs Alchemy, Conjuration, Enchant, and Security so a buff/debuff modifier of n% to Intelligence will modify each of those skills by the corresponding amount. But that's no different than simply modifying each respective skill individually by n%. It's just throwing extra numbers to the equation for the sake of having more numbers.
I won't speak to the lore, but most of the mechanics streamlining of the subsequent TES games were outright improvements. The main exception being the magic system although even that's overstated. Mages were OP in Morrowind. I wouldn't normally be anal about balance in a single-player game except that the mage kit pretty much eclipsed thief playstyles entirely. favourite nep game? I'm playing picrel currently share some hidden jrpg gems, the more obscure, the better.
non-translated titles are also welcomed. >We want the white male audience >want to play an Owlcat CRPG
>only alternative to Pathfinder is a dumbass RPG set on the parody land of Warhammer 40k
>two minutes in and all characters are just dumbass caricatures
Why do people love Warhammer and Warhammer 40k so much? It is so dumb and taints everything it touches.
I wish people would just forget Warhammer and make their own fantasy / sci-fi universe. What is /vrpg/'s thoughts on Metaphor ReFantazio? Enough time has passed, what do we think of it?
For me its unironically a masterpiece Just finished this (Yunica's story), never played any JRPG before, only DQ I & II, and I quite enjoyed it. Are the other games in the series just as good?
I know the 'canon' story happens with the 'Toal' character, but I don't really feel like playing this game again for it. How are the other Falcom games as well, Trails in the Sky picked my interest.
I've been mainly playing crpgs for the last 5 years, and each game is a 200 hour commitment accross many months, to play something I could finish in a week and had a nice, juvenile story was a nice break Who here is Fucking hyped for the Suikoden 1/2 remaster? I just really hope we also get a 3 remaster! That would be one of the most Based things ever Fucking made!
Everyone knows these are two of the top RPG games ever created. I literally don't meet no Compagnos that are Based RPG enjoyers and don't be liking Suikoden series! Literally not a single person Fucking ever!
Let's all hype each other up! How far should I go in Malgreed for levels before World 2?
I'm going to hit 70 before doing Dragon Mt. for the rare.
Had 2 treasure dango fuck me over, first in the Ero Sage quest where I didn't have the skill learned, and second grinding Athena with attacks unequipped. He was only one keeping Todd down. Who thought it would be a good idea to design a female character that looks like a misplaced Bratz doll from one of those cheap 3Daz porn games with a whole dollar store Halloween Special bundle glued to her head?
Are those supposed to be natural growths? Because they look like plastic props from the Unreal free assets section. Then again, her face also looks like it's made of plastic, so maybe it's an intentional motif. What do you call these 'survive with your dudes across the map' games
Picrel, Battle Brothers, Sandwalkers, doesn't have to be rogue light/like/whatever Recently been getting into RP through multiplayer games rather then TTRPG's, I enjoy it a lot more at times but so many of them leave a lot to be desired. Things like WoW have an in-depth system at least for MMOs but for every 1 actual good RPer you've got 50 in-your-face annoying ass stereotypes ranging from futa draenei, main characters, edgelords, everything. Essentially I just wish there was a community out there with some quality standards and knew where tf to find it. BROS i cant wait, this might be white mans RPG of anno domini 2025.

Dungeon of Erotic Master Plus, an H dungeon crawler that is on the short side. Not amazing but was enjoyable enough for 10 or so hours of playtime. Trying to get back into gaming after a decade of drug abuse and vagabond lifestyle.
My favorite genres were strategy games and rpgs (both jrpgs and wrpgs).
Tried the Witcher 3, Chained Echoes and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 recently. And holy shit what's up with the excessive handholding and obnoxious quest markers? It completely ruins games for me. I like figuring out things myself and exploring (find it immersive).
Are all modern games like this? Are there games that aren't like this? Why is this specific world stuck at 96%?
I've done literally everything I could think of. Played most of the old FFs btw >villain has the exact same powerlevel as the hero but they lose because they don't have the power of friendship This reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it... It's basically been a year now. I think it's safe to talk about it now. Everything is just so bland full of tropes. It's sad that the best jRPG that boasts an interesting story, dialogue and characters was made for PC many years ago. Any truly philisophical RPGs out there? Or its just low brow toy for zoomers these days? I just got this game. Did U make the right decision? I hate all the male companions in bg3 because they all want to gay rape you >people keep telling me mods fix it
>look at the mods in question
>they all just replace town names and move them about and replace unit trees instead of fixing any of the mechanical issues
Why do people keep lying about mods fixing this game's glaring flaws? Getting a little creepy there, Maria. >Only works on Deus Ex
>Refuses to elaborate
>Disappears forever after Shiren Mystery Dungeon 6 just had DLC announced in the japanese nintendo direct

Koppa and Asuka are now playable, along with other stuff I'm too lazy to translate.
anyway Shiren thread, when the fuck is the dreamcast game getting its translation patch finished? Which is your Favorite Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Tales of Series, Other JRPG, Type-Moon, 07th Expansion, Key/Tactics, Other Visual Novel, Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Other Mons?
>Characters and Creatures Only not Games! Do you consider it an rpg? So is this game a scam then..? That would suck because it looks like proper Fallout 3 Why are Isobel and the hireling cleric both light domain selune clerics when the phb says selune's domains are life and knowledge? Is there a Persona 4 Golden walkthrough that doesn't require save scumming? >Neuras says "I love you both" to MC and Gallica
>Gallica blushes and then hides behind MC
That's a weird response, especially since Gallica is a loving and affectionate person. I wish they'd make more Shadowrun games, Dragonfall and Hong Kong were fantastic. Any other RPGs with branching paths like Langrisser and Tactics Ogre? AKA how fast you tend to get rich in videogames by hoarding like a loot goblin then selling months old rusted swords to every vendor in town until you can buy your own kingdom. Things tend to work well during a game's first 10 to 20 hours at absolute best but sooner or later you end up overpowered and with more money than you know what to buy with it.
How do you fix that? How do you balance an economy so the player always feels on the level and never abounding with cash? How do you keep it 'grounded'? Post your ideal RPG companions. For me it's the cute shy glasses girl with healing magic. What the fuck is going on with this game? Can we all collectively agree that Devil Survivor is one of the best Shin Megami Tensei games on a point where no one, not even Atlus, will make games like this anymore? Seems like an interesting game. What do you think anons? Everyone talks about how the NWN expansions are good and how amazing of a follower Deekin is but his voice is kinda annoying and nothing about him makes me think he is really cool or awesome. Does he get better later on? I kinda preferred the dwarf rogue and the orc mage and regret bringing him over the others. Also Shadows of Undrentide is significantly less fun than the main game Which game has best MODding support?
My vote goes to Fallout 2, hands down best mod scene these are better then original game The piece of shit Solasta is getting a sequel despite the devs seemingly having learned nothing from the first game because the UI and characters are still disgusting. I tought new Kingdom Come supposed to be realistic and white/trad, now this leaked... Why didnt it have a bigger cultural impact? Rpg codex rated it as GOTY 2023. Which Final Fantasy game is your favorite? I prefer VI. I felt its characters, gameplay, and plot were above any of the others in the series. Is it actually worth picking up now? I'm wary of it because it's still in Early Access but there is an upcoming "1.0 patch". How much content is there in it right now? Now that the dust has settled, can someone explain the plot? I never played the first game so I feel like I'm missing something. >what if we made a MOBA where each round lasts for multiple weeks and the only way to gain materiel advantage is to poopsock from the first minute?
why do RPG devs insist on dying on their garbage pvp ideas hill? Kiss
Fuck
Marry
Kill
Headpat
Slap
Cuddle With
Hold Hand with
Torture
