It's got a "mostly positive" 77% rating on steam, which isn't amazing
Most of the reviews are citing the bad localization though, I do think the game itself is pretty good just not perfect

>>3460800
Why is the translation so shitty?
I just started playing and am already noticing stuff like "ganbatte" being omitted and translated as "jingle jingle" or ユンカース being a fucking French name (Janquis) when it's supposed to be German (Junkers).

I havent even left the starting town after the prologue and am already having trouble picking who to use. Which party members are useless?

>>3467482
low defense = useless

>>3467482
Yusuke and Iugo will be your bros for the longest, Yusuke especially. Magic in this game sucks, don't bother but if you really have to the Doctor is your best bet early on.

>>3467377
Hope he dies soon.

>>3467416
Not yet. It's too soon. He has to completely fall from grace and become the laughingstock even for normalfags before he croaks. Otherwise, he will be remembered as a genius and trend setter rather than a lying, greedy, incompetent piece of shit he is.

>>3467416
Y-you too!

Sadly he found an out by cornering the market of neurotic early-zoomers / late millenials who can't watch anything other on TV that isn't slop or else they'll get a nervous breakdown over it being "too serious".

>>3467441

Like what? Those 1-5 seasons of those 1-5 shows, that are "approved" by some autists on 4chan?

>>3428325
Sucks cause SoS and Chained Echoes put so much effort into the art, unlike actual Japanese devs like Square, but they suck at designing gameplay and their stories are gay

Are you a retard? Japs are obsessed with making wizardry/ultima clones.

>>3466699
It ultimately ended up a 6.5/10 but the mid game was actually really good. The water tower dungeon was fantastic. Was very disappointed that the final dungeon was just a straight line with no puzzles.
>>3466980
Chained Echoes' art wasn't even good. The mecha combat system was fun but that is all. Everything else actively pissed me off, and I beat it. The biggest being when they lore drop that there is a continent sized parrot and never fucking show it.

>>3466985
sir, your foreskin is missing

>>3464979
There's plenty of "narrative" game systems for tabletop RPGs, they don't translate well to video games since at best you'll get an adventure game with few predefined outcomes instead of the inherent liberty of real RPG. And, anyways, most cRPG players are autistic retards who only want a poorly designed "numbers go up" tactic games with shit encounter design.

>>3464979
>without numbers
You mean like tiers instead?
S, A, B, C, D, E, etc.

>>3465042
I think this is a great idea for a game as long as you're creative enough to find various ways to signal things to the player

>>3464979
Do Platformers without platforming exist? does an Platformer need platforming to be an Platformer?

>>3467465
This is how the jews want you to think. Words mean nothing, there is no division between anything. Merge back into the creator god and end reality.

enjoy your reddit memes anon, in reality this shit is inverted.

God why was Outer Worlds so shit? Its not even funny bad its boring bad, the worst kinda of bad. How are these the same guys who made Fallout, Arcanum, and VTMB?

Hmmmmmmm. Idk dude, i think Unis still beats her even if it's just by a little. The catharsis of her correction was still greater. Specially after spending my whole afternoon getting filtered by her fight, she REALLY had it coming

>It seems like more people have played/heard of BS in the last year or so than the last 4 in western communities.
>With how many new players there are, why does it seem like discussion about story and lore from their behalf is a fraction of what it was compared to the players of the last 4 years?
Because there's actually almost no new players. You're getting things wrong with "Hearing about it" and actually playing the damn thing. Most people that you see out there are just trying to fit in with their shitty posts about Red or Alice. They know nothing about the source material and they don't care. They just want to be "Le quirky" and farm their internet points for validation. Do you really think that the average twitterfag would be able to play through a nonlinear game like this? Even better, don't you think that he would be filtered just by the artstyle itself?

>we're inundated with more ritual posting, shitposting and twitter screencaps than ever.
I just wish people would stop posting those screencaps man.... I don't care about the others but i really don't like seeing a tranny flag here of all places.

FFVIIIkun...I support your vision. VIII is pure kino. But IX is at least ludo to some extent.

Not much. Only thing I didn't like was how much cool shit happens near the end when they could've made the whole game like that, instead of all this meandering that feels like filler.

Political ideologies aren't divided into "racist", "do nothing at all" and "communist" which is the exact same retardation that the writers fall into.
The art, soundtrack, story, and even the writing itself is good, but when the only options I can pick in a dialogue are "glorious communist revolution", "I hate niggers", and "I am a stupid fucking liberal that wants to get stepped on by corpos" over and over it gets a little annoying.
There is no actual conversation going on in the game because the writers don't understand the ideologies that they are critiquing.
They don't understand why people are racist. There is a line where someone is talking about how degenerate genes make people listen to mariachi music.
They don't understand that there is a middle ground between putting every rich person on a pike and being an ancap.
They don't understand that you can be a liberal and not a Fukuyamist.
I would like the game if the creators didn't openly despise me.

>>3460258
Im finally replaying it now and it has a lot of laughable stuff in it. When you take the flashlight out of Kim's car your perception skill goes "That's a flashlight, you can see things in the dark you can't with out it". Guess he couldn't think of something purple to write for that one. Good writing my ass.
Characters like Leo don't even talk like human beings, it makes me wonder if buddy has less social interaction than me or if he's just that much of a hack. The idea of fans thinking Harry or Kim are good characters makes me ill. He literally has a halo motif behind his head like religious iconography, in his portrait. That's how much the author's gay little perfect Asian twink fantasy Kim is.

The world of this game is laughable, in the first 10 minutes you get referenced to "Mazovianism" the Marxism analogue, spoken down to by various token ethnics about class struggle, flip your lid over a cartoonish racist making a totally innocuous comment, and the fucking corpse of the murder victim tells you communism killed him.

This game is about 2 things, 1 is a pseudo-intellectual exploration of communism with the depth (and style) of a tweetstorm, 2 is being shoehorned into roleplaying an old white pathetic loser who's spiralling the drain for borderline inexplicable reasons (no his relationship history is not enough to be believable).
But the worst thing about this game by far is that it has no edge, no teeth, balls, spine, or gall. So many missed opportunities to explore the idea of roleplaying a deadbeat cop over the course of a politically charged week. If the concept weren't in the mincing hands of an embarrassing sissy it could've been good.

Honestly I don't like them, I feel like every battle takes 2 hours because both your turn and especially the enemy's take a lot of time. I want to like them but damn

I've tried FF:Tactics, Front mission, tactics ogre, a couple fire emblems and I always drop them.
I'll try triangle strategy eventually because it looks nice but I don't have high hopes.

>>3467334
Try Tactics Ogre Reborn and turn the speed up.

The first game doesn't really change on your equipment, just when you class change. Which is still nice but I don't want to give people the wrong information.

>>3467334
The new-style Fire Emblems from the 3ds onwards have a setting to completely skip the enemy turn and most animations.

tl;dr
thanks for reminding me I should replay fun games like OoT rather than wasting my time on disappointing modern games like bg3

>Being forced to talk to every villager for no reason (jrpgs) or pointless room descriptions (wrpgs) are both fucking trash
So as i said - if you miss the point of rpg's that much and have that severe case of ADHD you are better of playing Fortnite, not rpg's.

>>3460243
The point of rpg is to make your character stronger to face challenges where their builds matter

Not to talk to old women and fat fucks about how peaceful the generic starting village is

>This is how names are done, they take kanji and combine the first syllable of whatever words they were taken from

You should play older jrpgs, lots of them just throw you at the starting town and expect you to figure it out yourself

>>3462298
>The point of rpg is to make your character stronger to face challenges where their builds matter
No, thats hack and slash or mmorpg.
Point of rpg is ROLEPLAYING which needs rich world, interaction with npc's, peaceful exploration/quest solving etc.
