SomeChump posted:Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden: One of the best freeware RPGs around in terms of game mechanics and production values, it would still be an entertaining game with a vanilla plot. What makes this special though is the consistently excellent humour. Set in the Post-Cyberpocalypse caused by the incredibly destructive b-ball technique the 'chaos dunk' which destroyed the city of New York, it follows former b-ball star Charles Barkley and his son Hoopz in his quest for redemption and protect his son from the fascist state forces led by collaborator Michael Jordan. It is absolutely ruthless in its parodies of jRPG conventions and internet culture including an underground village of furries, a plastic surgery full of anime cosplayers, unexplained allusions to Christian mythology, save points which rant about the superiority of Japanese videogames (all real, copied from forums) and all presented completely straight faced. It's the best freeware game I've played outside of Cave Story. There were quite a few callbacks to in-jokes; for example, the broke gambler is one of the game's developers, the turkey fur's portrait was a drawing of the author's "fursona" (he lied about being a furry on some fur message board and managed to get one of them to draw a sketch; the original story fell off the internet, shame because I wanted to reread it, but the picture lives on in Barkley), though the game suffers from a distinct lack of Dilbert. Nathilus posted:One freeware series I really enjoyed was The Way. Warning. This link contains an ad that blasted me with music. http://rpgmaker.wikia.com/wiki/The_Way That game had a good library of music shamelessly ripped from a variety of sources (such as The Musashi Legend, which it puts to very good use  ) I make it a point to copy the intro midi from Episode 1 to the custom track slot for Episode 6's tournament sidequest, it just feels right. Pity the plot fell apart at the very end  .While it's a simple fact that you can't win a single plunge in Episode 1 because your stats are so bad and the opponents are veterans, it is possible to win Episode 2's tournament if you're lucky. super sweet best pal fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Oct 3, 2010 |

Thuryl posted:Exit Fate is basically a Suikoden game with the serial numbers filed off. If you like the Suikoden series you will like it. Seconding this, Exit Fate is the best Suikoden clone I've ever played. It has a different style than the original Suikoden and could arguably be a better game depending on your personal taste.

Miijhal posted:I recommend browsing RPGmaker.net, and searching for the lowest rated games. It's great for finding terrible poo poo, like Escape From Middle School, Cod: Nazi Zombies, and the barely started, but "grafikally" intense Suteki. I've personally played the latter two, and I can vouch for their terribleness.

Syrg Sapphire posted:Avernum, especially the remake that just came out, is probably the most open and explorable title you can get from Spiderweb Software right now. Not even kidding. I know I point to Avadon being a good starter title, but if you just want a full-on game where you make some characters and find their place in the already-established world, get Escape from the Pit ASAP. Just beat the remake yesterday after ten years of shareware demos, it really hit that open world RPG sweet spot. I was kind of sad to see the dungeons and quests run out at the end, but it felt good finally beating it.

corn in the bible posted:the only problem with using nintendont on a wii u is it doesnt have the gamecube ports. you can use one of those adapters but they don't support some of the more obscure accessories like the gba link cable I wish Nintendo had a better track record with peripherals. So many doohickeys that only got two or three games before abandonment.

I'm getting pissed off at Age of Decadence's artificial difficulty. The devs claim it's because they don't want the character being overpowered like in similar RPGs but it plays out as mandatory min/maxing. Well, you don't have to, it's possible to just speedrun to the end but that kind of defeats the whole point of playing through the actual quests.HGH posted:I feel a need to post pictures of butz.

Zombies' Downfall posted:ROMs really are the best way to play the SNES games in particular unless you're willing to dig out old hardware and pay new game prices for used carts. I remember that glorious period during the N64 and early Gamecube era where SNES carts were dirt cheap. I still have my copies of Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2, though I have to emulate the latter because of the graphical glitches in places like the Dual Blade shrine.

Risen 1 is cool but the endgame is kind of a slog. It's a good idea to stop when you get the quests to gather the endgame weapon and armor and just YouTube the final boss.

Grozz Nuy posted:A new top-down OB game (I love LUCT of course, but SRPGs are so much more common than games that play like core series Ogre Battle) is my white whale, Square Enix holds the rights and even still employs most of the key people from Quest! Someone there still cares about the franchise, they wouldn't have made a Final Fantasy 14 dungeon that was a tribute to Tactics Ogre's Place of the Dead if it was completely forgotten. Maybe someday we'll get actual games for the series. chumbler posted:I have just realized a fatal flaw with trying to play Atelier Sophie. lol I assume you're partially joking (and I know that feeling all too well) but items of quality will generally last longer than the duration of a gathering trip and after a relatively short amount of progress into the story you'll unlock a service that refills your equipped items' uses whenever you return to town, so no more worrying about wasting a particularly good item. Treat AS items like Dungeons and Dragons' vancian spell preparation only not poo poo and actually way overpowered once you get good at making them.

Think I'll stick with my old /GU discs. I was partway through game two when I quit playing and feel like I might as well pick up where I left off. I think the best part of the games was all the fake forum posts while logged out. Who doesn't enjoy ωRICE's rants about people calling him Butt RICE?

Your Computer posted:videogames.png I liked the GBA ones well enough but Dark Dawn was complete garbage. You know the initial plot hook, those ominous holes of darkness? Completely forgotten after the tutorial, only showing up after you beat the final boss as a TO BE CONTINUED that never will be. I don't remember anything about the plot except a bunch of people you meet turn out to be jerks and there's light and shadow mechanics that show up near the end, that's how forgettable it was.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:.hack//GU was always impossible to take seriously because they have these big, emotional talks about...MMO drama, grinding, and getting PvPed for a slight exp and item loss. They scream like they're in actual, physical pain when their characters take damage and continually switch between talking like nerds playing an MMO and talking like they literally are their characters. I love it. Moon Tree is a bunch of angry babies we'd probably troll relentlessly in real life.
