Wasteland 2 was the first of the kickstarter retro rpgs and I bet if it'd come along a little later it wouldnt have been so rough around the edges. As it stands it's the only rpg of the kickstarter rpg renaissance that I never finished.

Wasteland 2 had several issues at launch. A year later they released the director's cut on consoles and it was a free upgrade on Steam and GOG. They listened to the complaints and now it's a great game. Wanna lockpick? Select all your characters, right click the door and the person with the higher skill at it runs over. Also, when you open a locker or corpse you now have the option to distribute stuff evenly. What it actually means is that if only one of your characters has a shotgun then they get all the shells. Oh and you can target body parts when sniping, finally. The game is so much better than at launch and I pity the fool that still hates it. Also, the Wasteland setting is way better than Fallouts. Guess that's my unpopular opinion.

Sorta? If you never played it back in the days it's a loving hassle to figure out. It still has the insanely archaic systems of the original. Want to change your weapons? Obviously you have to go into a combat round to do that. There's also the bit where you don't have a map and only get very vague directions. Turns out the map is actually in the manual and they didn't provide that with the remake. Not that it's hard to find and you absolutely have to read it to get anywhere. Even when it came out in 88 it was extremely outdated. https://twitter.com/BrianFargo/status/1298770575712595968?s=20

IIRC there was no difference between a character with Int 6 and Int 8.

I can barely imagine what it must have been like on launch.

Ghost of Tsushima gives you all your good toys way too early. I know people don't like it when the fun stuff is gated but the gameplay loop gets pretty samey after a couple of hours in. Also I know this isn't unpopular but it really needs some kind of Loadout-saving/quick swapping for your armor and charms.

Wasteland 3 is on gamepass, today, so for 1-5 usd you can play the game right now. I won't be because no one has ever made a good isometric RPG but you know, in theory.

Coming out the woodwork to say that not only does Ultima 8 rule, but so does U6 and they're both far better games than U7

Are any of those games worth revisiting? I played about halfway through Ultima 9 despite all the radiation warnings, I enjoyed it as a fluffy roleplaying piece. I also apparently played like 1 hour of U7 back in the day, as the gfx are super familiar. I remember getting my party savaged by a weird white footprint on the ground, which upon reloading turned out to be a friendly mouse who could join your party and was nowhere near the whirlwind of death now that he's on your side. I strongly suspect they're all unplayable and/or have been greatly exceeded since.

The UI is rough but RPGs have taken a really different tack since then so there isnt much that does what they do but better. I haven’t played U7 in 7-8 years but in the 2010’s it still held up pretty well.

I’ve still never actually finished one but I really have to give props to the Metal Gear series for basically having a plot over 30 years that can be summed up as “what if the governments in our video game were exactly as evil, horrifyingly corrupt and warmongering as they are in real life.......but also giant robots?”

I think that the more you can try to place yourself in the time U6 was made, the more fun you'll have with it. U7 is probably still pretty accessible if you approach it strictly as an adventure game and not an RPG. Combat is real time, automated, and not particularly difficult. I think of it like a less funny Quest for Glory

There has never been a good pokemon game and they are completely unenjoyable by any mentally healthy person over 12. Any fondness a human being gets from them is from either being a literal child or nostalgia.

This is true, people who keep playing the series have some kind of weird fixation, the series is designed for preteen children and not 27 year old internet forum nerds to complain about.

There are consumers loyal to a product they were conditioned to like, who have been demanding to pour money at Nintendo to make a thing for them for a decade and Nintendo doesn't capitalize on it. That's the weirder thing
