Paladinus posted:I simply played the best CRPG of this century, PoE2, with turn-based combat. Tyranny was the best implementation of RTwP in ages thanks to having not too many obligatory fights and more focus on your archetypes/builds/party than micromanaging buffs. I didn't particularly enjoy the combat most of the time anyway, but at least it didn't annoy me like in some older games. yeah I’d never recommend the IE games anymore in 2024. and you have correct crpg opinions. so I will tone it down realizing you are in fact an Ally,

turn-based is the golden path and I'm so happy with how many games these days are that way

Planescape Torment has great gameplay like having to sink your points into intelligence so your hungover undead hobo can remember where he parked his fuckin car and then spend your time watching your party swing aimlessly at a giant rat going *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* *MISS* until you quit out of boredom no I will not care if I wasnt playing it right back then, I was too busy putting my time into Diablo 2 😎

FTL being one of the best games ever made should be enough evidence for anyone that rtwp can be fun it is bcos of rtwp. no one talking about rtwp is using it across all genres ever made, it works in ftl because its a completely different genre of game. it sucks in the specific typ eof rpgs its disliked in bcos its always being grafted on top of systems which were explicitly designed around turns because of a weird 2000s fear western devs had of being comp[ared to a jrpg

Misterbibs was right that the vvitch was a terrible movie. I watched it with a non-native English speaker and they couldn't understand what anyone was saying. I'm a native English speaker and I could only get about half of it. The dad guy's voice was just bass and vocal fry, I'm not even sure he was using words at all
