Excels posted:in that situation what are you presuming wiped us out? I could see a Renaissance alchemist discovering nuclear fission way too early. But a giant asteroid is always an option. Really I'd just like to see something with that setting that isn't laser guns and landscapes full of crumbling highway bridges. Fusing it with medieval fantasy/magic might be cool too. Irradiated dragons and such.  I'll check out Age of Decadence.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:I don't think that's fair really. Have you played it recently? It's classic-style, sure, but it has a lot of quality of life improvements like warping you to/from quest locations instead of making you run backwards and forwards across town five times per quest. I'll back off on that a bit, I haven't played it in a while (I checked out the demo a while back) and while I don't hate turn-based combat I'm still a little wary about what I've heard about the design. And if a totally old-school RPG sounds like your thing the setting sounds really neat.

Is there a thread in Games about RPG maker so that I can pester said thread's denizens with annoying questions? I've been messing around with tutorials and coming up against an occasional wall, and I want to see if I can get past some of those walls/what the differences are between the free version and pay-for version before I drop the pretty hefty price they are asking for it. It seems like a thing that could be fun for killing a lot of time if I can get past my frustration with it, which is going to depend on the learning curve and how easy it is to ask a quick question to some community and get a quick answer.

So that Valkyria poo poo was good until the (first?) Maximillian/Selvaria battle. I was loving enjoying this poo poo too. Is the rest of it bullshit as well?

Are you crying because the game threw a tough fight at you after giving simple ones? If I remember correctly, the first valkyria game gives you a bunch of small missions to teach you different poo poo. Use all your knowledge my son. Also, make longshots with lancers because they're baller and it will make you jump in the air. I love it when games with "tactical" in their game description do that, give you a bunch of easy missions to teach you things before making you use it all. V rare though. Western devs tend to infodump at the begining in poorly constructed tutorials and eastern devs tend to just drop you in with basic tutorials that don't cover the important bits.

Well, I wouldn't say it was so much losing the mission after quite a long fight -- I have played a video before. To be fair, I have calmed down. It was bad, though. I had to rush in on a gamble that taking out the final radiator would end the fight. I dunno. I was loving it, and true, it wasn't very hard up to then. But then it felt less like it was difficult because I needed to outsmart it withinin the game logic. I couldn't hurt the bosses at all, while they had devastating attacks at their disposal with massive CP. Discourages me from picking it back up.

I had to rush in on a gamble that taking out the final radiator would end the fight. I kind of liked it because of that. The game didn't feel challenging till that point. And even when it's advised you to not engage enemies you could still kill them. A boss that's actually scary is good for games imo. Trust me when I say it's never that bad again though. You get more tools, levels, and plot power. There's a couple more gimmick fights I believe, but none that bad.

What about a rapture apocalypse game. Kick satan in the balls. Edit: I tried to respond to a post from several pages back and I quoted the wrong post entirely. Here is my shame, immortalized in the Games forum.

sticklefifer posted:Is there any sort of alternate history game that sets a post-apocalyptic world in our past? It seems like all apocalyptic games I've ever seen are set in our own future, or a distant high-tech future. I'd like to see something like a medieval apocalypse, or even like if it happened in the 1800s. Diablo 2

Were you born in the last 5 years? I assume this is your first Final Fantasy if you're not aware that every FF since 6 has been poo poo and also been hailed as the one that would save the franchise
