It's not an RPG, but for what it's worth, Kane and Lynch 2 is the worst game I've ever paid full price for. That poo poo made DA2 look like, uh, a pretty good game. DA:O maybe. Worst RPG I've played is probably DX:IW. That was a bad game with or without the Deus Ex name.

I don't really see any reason why one Fallout would have aged any worse than the other, Fallout 2 was better in the sense that it had a goddamn fuckton of content, but that wasn't a universally beneficial part of Fallout 2 (loving New Reno)

lets hang out posted:The Olympics means lots of international eyeballs pointed at Japan and people in power over there are getting really nervous that the thing those eyeballs are going to see is some really creepy anime poo poo. It's not just hitting video games, all media is suddenly under heavy scrutiny for it. Every host country goes crazy trying to clean up and look presentable for the Olympics. for an example here, San Francisco hosted the Super Bowl and did their best to try to sweep away all the homeless people for that month

it's not about how hard the dungeons are, it's about it being a dungeon crawling game at all, which pokemon is not except for the most pedantic possible interpretation of it, in which case literally every RPG is a dungeon crawler because of how foundational Wizardry was to the genre

DAI wasn't nearly as bad as DA2 but it's one of the most blatant "mmo as single player game" Rpgs I've played when it comes to boring open worlds and fetch/kill x enemies quests, to the point where I legitimately wondered if it was an abandoned MMO project.

the funny thing about his "people weren't used to character development" is that i'm more surprised these days when a game *doesn't* do it for any character who isn't a cypher/stand-in silent protagonist, mainly because the Don Giovanni/Scarlett o'Hara "character who spends the entire story not learning a goddamn thing" thing is hard to pull off well.

Squall is probably the best example I can think of of actually doing the "unlikable to the point of being hostile to a player" thing well, but FF8 will always remain a cult game for (several) reasons.

my favorite things about Kiyru's side jobs in Y5: like fully half the taxi missions end in a poorly justified fist-fight because Yakuza speaking of "poorly justified", iirc the reason Kiryu starts street racing in the first place is because he picks up a cop who just goes "Boy, I hate street racers! Hey, I have a great idea! I give you permission to go street racing so you can defeat all those awful street racers!!"

i think i asked this in another thread (maybe the general chat thread) but how many RPGs are there where a dude is clearly the most sexualized character (this is almost certainly inspired by me playing Disgaea 4 with Fenrich running around in hot pants)

Tin Can Hit Man posted:I'm always wary about immediately jumping on something subtly queer as baity, if mainly because there's still a lot of push-back for such representation in media, and sometimes relying on coded trope and terminology is the only way to get it through. on the one hand, yes, on the other hand it's basically a running joke with the girl characters forming a gossip circle and basically shipping the two male leads together, which seems to be a good-natured rib on that kind of thing and yeah i honestly don't mind it that much- it really only struck me as unusual 'cuz that's like, the *only* explicitly sexualized character design among the main party, and I don't remember a lot of examples where a male character filled that "role"

has anyone gotten into Fuga, aka "Kemono ENEMIES" yet, it seemed to launch with weirdly zero leadup, though RPGsite seemed to like it the premise looked appealing enough for the forty bucks but probably not until I finish TWEWY2 Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jul 30, 2021 |

I actually didn't know it was a series and halfway just wanted to say "Kemono ENEMIES" The whole turn-based combat/tank management thing did seem like an appealing loop, though.

lets hang out posted:I finished Fuga, twice. it was longer than I expected, first playthrough was 19 hours, second i sped up with cheat engine but it still took all day. the battle system is engaging, all about timeline management kind of like Saga Scarlet Grace, but also has SSG's problem of a pretty small enemy pool that they just keep throwing at you in different configurations for the entire game. it gets a bit repetitive, the kind of game best played like an hour a night, until the very last stage when the plot suddenly turns up and goes completely bananas, making for a pretty exciting finale. and the good ending includes a 700 year flash forward to tease Solatorobo, so that's neat. sick I wanted to get this as soon as I saw the artstyle and I didn't know it was actually part of a series I stupidly blew sixty bucks on Mario 3D World so I'm tapped out on games excepting Quake but the artstyle and combat interface all looked super enticing

i love NIS spritework!!! loving it up with terrible upscaling should be a crime seriously look at the screenshots on the Switch eshop, and imagine choosing those to represent the game lol. I know NIS is constantly in trouble but was the Disgaea gacha that bad e) i'm glad that Soul Nomad is still rated T for Teen though Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Aug 22, 2021 |
