https://www.strawpoll.me/45239254/rThis is the result thus far, do you think it's accurate?
>>1645447They said that the game is in pre-production 4 months into 2018 so assuming they start working on it in 2019 and assuming the game takes 4 years it will come out in late 2023. Covid might have delayed production by few months so early 2024 is a conservative guess
>>1650928I think 24-25 desu anon alot is riding on this one. if both Fallout and TES have shitty games being the most recent ones then itl look really bad on them.
>>1650982fallout 4 is a good game. Fallout 76 isn't even part of the main series or has anything to do with the main studio. It is like ESO onlineWhat really matters is how Starfield will perform and it will affect when TES6 will be released
>>1651104>fallout 4 is a good game.
>>1651104Exactly Starfield will tell us a lot about TES6
this was a good game.
>>1638778>>1638736Better than nwn 1
>>1651427>rocks fall, everyone diesAt it picks up right from there in the expansion.
>>1651444Considering how shit nwn 1 is, it'd be hard to do worse.
>>1651449Yes, we're talking about OC ending. Rocks fall, everyone dies.
>>1651475Allegedly.
Let's arguehttp://www.strawpoll.me/45237236
>>1651062Many bad people have shit taste? Shocking truth!
>>1651379At least the majority has good taste though :)
>>1651379Yes, that's why bladder's gates are so popular, weeblet.
>>1649662FTL is RTwP and no one complains about it. Into the Breach is Turn Based and no one complains about it.Why does RTwP cause such angst in RPGs?
RTwP only when japs do it.
Why? It's an action rpg. Has ass loads of lore that doesn't make sense at first glance. I would think this board would be all over it.
>>1647128This might be the dumbest post here, which is impressive
>>1632213fuck off
>>1650712fuck on
Remake is the definitive version of the game
>>1651329Congrats, anon. That's real dedication.
Did you vote for the Ricotta daki yet, anon? Vote so she can be happy!https://twitter.com/fuji_dakimakura/status/1391679404951097346
FO4's Map > NV's Map > FO3's MapSimple as.
>>1650340FO4's is made in a way that nothing interesting happens because everything feels small and scripted.New vegas is kind of the same but the vibe is way better, fallout 3 is in between those two, but it feels less of a drag.
>>1650794Could you explain why not? I've heard arguments for this in the past but none were very detailed.
>>1650340New Vegas has the worst map. FO4 > FO3 > NV when it comes to the map. There is literally nothing to explore in NV.
>>1650340The fo4 map is small and has maybe 2 or 3 memorable locations.
>>1650340Fallout 4 feels smaller than the others because there's only one city and nothing interesting in it. Like literally no memorable landmarks besides the Brotherhood airship.
>plays mage in every game in the series>support templars at every turn>massive amounts of seething from party members>laugh in their faces
>>1649986I have the ultimate edition on GOG already and can play the dlc just fine but don't have access to the item I got for finishing them or the specialization I already unlocked in previous playthrough. When I tried to connect to the account outside the game I was asked to change my password so maybe that was it but now I can't connect because I made too many attempts
>>1648617Trespasser is easily the best part of the game by far, but I would on no account recommend playing it just for that. It is a wholly unenjoyable game otherwise.
>>1645535If anything, Tevinter is probably the best argument for pro-mage society, simply because it has continued to exist despite the best efforts of the entire Qunari host to destroy it. The Qunari aren't shy about the fact their faith specifically demands that they conquer the world and subjugate all other peoples, and their seemingly endless armies of giants give them a decent chance at making it happen. However, because Tevinter exists, they can't afford to make any real move of consequence against the rest of Thedas, because their armies are tied up trying to destroy the Imperium. And why? Tevinter has been in a state of decline for centuries owing to its tremendous decadence and corruption, has lost nearly all of its former influence, and is more or less consigned to the dustbin of history by the other nations of Thedas, but Tevinter has one thing that those other nations sorely lack: namely, comically excessive amounts of magepower. Because of this, a dying country on the brink of self-inflicted extinction is able to stop the most terrifying army in the world in its tracks.
>>1651159I concur. If DA4 comes out and it's not hot garbage I'd recommend reading up on the lore and watching some youtube vids of the better dialogues before filling out the Dragon Age Keep for Inquisition.
>>1642931Pic is missing the templar's entire eyeballs being 100% visible from behind the helmet
>7R Intergrade announced>Shows Weiss at the end>Didn't worry about it too much, expected him to just be a bonus VR boss for fanservice, and it turns out he is>But then Nero appears in the actual fucking storylineI gotta say, my feelings about the future remakes has gone from hopefully optimistic to nervously pessimistic. I didn't even mind the time travel stuff, there's story potential there (assuming they don't fuck it up). But bringing back these characters that look like Deviant art OCs and are Nomura at his most self indulgent design wise was horrible. What the fuck are they thinking?And the worst part is that if THEY are back, it's almost inevitable that Genesis is gonna come back too, and he's the fucking worst. If this turns into some convoluted KH tier hodgepodge of "cool" anime characters, I'm going to be really let down.
>>1649958You must relinquish your will to the consensus obviously.
>>1649958It's good as long as my ship is safe otherwise I don't care what happens.
>>1649958>what has to happen before you say it's good or bad?I have to actually see the things in the game and not just a few frames in a trailer> in fact I'm going to guess you're willing to say it's good so far, I did like Part 1, overall. My main complaints about the game are structural in that I would have liked to have more freedom to just fuck around doing general RPG stuff. Hunts, normal sidequests that can be done whenever, etc. It felt a little too linear to me, to the extent that it made me feel like there was a set amount of enemy encounters in the game, but my hope is that Part 2 will be more open as we're not confined to Midgar anymore.>but if anyone calls it bad, you bring up this "there's no way to know if it's good or bad yet" argument.If you didn't like the self-contained game and story elements that are already there, then that's that. But how are you judging the quality of this loop shit when we basically got a prologue and a trailer for a DLC that may or may not even have any critical story?
>>1649753>Why would you be upset about the new game potentially going into new and unexpected directionsIt's the entire idea around it that's retarded.>Everybody already knows who Sephiroth is!>Everybody already knows Aeris/th dies!It's like saying everybody already knows the "I'll be back" line is from a Terminator movie, but haven't actually seen Terminator 2 to understand the context behind the line coupled with the powerful, dramatic scene it was used in. There's plenty of people out there that don't actually KNOW Sephiroth, but maybe OF him--or know WHY Aeris/th dies, only OF her death, but Kitase only thinks in broad strokes and doesn't care about subtly, so why not dumb it down and cater to modern audiences/turbo fangirls and just throw Sephiroth around like a neon beach ball.
>>1651818And wear Aeris/th's corpse on their sleeves.
What's your opinion on Blue Mages?
>>1651178Most of their spells were just Black/White/Time magic which are all more useful
>>1651232soo...balancefaggotry. BLU can't do MSQ, therefore you won't play it
>>1651178They exist to take utility spells AWAY from White and Black. Fuck Green Mages.
>>1651250>Only caring about casual content>BalancefaggotryWhatever helps you sleep at night anon.You don't have to defend every choice the devs make, you know.
>>1651369if i had to give the devs, or the audience, the benefit of the doubt, i'd give it to the devs
You don't actually play as a 'good' guy in RPGs, do you?
>>1649942considering akagi himself doesn't even fit 90% of akagifag's criteria for "good writing," no, not at all. the very first story in akagi is him randomly choosing to help somebody out with little benefit for himself, and kaiji is all about "how many times will kaiji have to be betrayed before he finally stops trusting people"
>Implying JRPGs give you a choice
>>1650504>with little benefit for himselfThe life and death gambles are a really big deal for him. But you're right in that he does have a moral compass.
>>1650599He does not. It's the act of gambling with his life on the line. It's not out of altruism or some moral righteousness.
>>1648262Sure do. It's a lot of fun.
When does it get good
>>1650166It seems cool. I will check it out.
>>1650166>feelsbadHear hear, but it’s Takahashi’s fault. He should have learned the lesson from XG, not to plan an epic space opera spanning multiple episodes assuming you’re going to be able to make all episodes before you even launch the first entry, because you won’t unless the game is good. EP1 looked awful and had terrible slow and boring gameplay and it was a slug. I’m speaking as a fan! Only hardcore fans could muster it, always looking for the payoffs for the setups that he was building, expecting to be blown away like in XG. But as far as gameplay it was not a fun experience at all until EP3 when they seemed to have found their rhythm. But alas, it was too late.
I'm going to be honest, when it came to "shocking and unusual" lore Xenogears sometimes felt like watered down SMT2.
>>1650920You are entitled to your opinion.I might pic it up SMT2 then. Sounds like a treat for those who like “unusual lore”.
>>1650920I've played both and I wouldn't say that at all, SMT2 has the coolest setting out of all of the mainline entries though.
Altina is the best party member in the entire Cold Steel sega. Not only in terms of usefulness and utility but also character development.
>>1634957Which game and what difficulty?
>>1635018Two Mirage and one Time element is bad now?
I was on the Laura train till she got recasted on CS4 and I jumped ship for Altina.
I always just use Altina because I'm too lazy to try and stun enemies on the field from the back. I used to use Millium for the same reason.
>>1634744Her order is very useful, having perfect reflect for a while is awesome. Cheesing super bosses early with Altina and Emma spamming reflects is hilarious.
Why are yanderes so uncommon in RPGS?
Sacred Stones had like 4 male ones.
>>1647200Because most people can't handle them.
>>1650860Yanderes that want to kill you are dogshit.
>>1650860It's just like the people who describe themselves as "into femdom" but are really just lonely vanilla dudes who fantasize about a girl doing all the social/sexual heavy lifting. Mention any femdom hallmarks and they'll squeal about how disgusting/off-putting it really is to them.
>>1650860>>1651070There have always been multiple yandere types. The ones that want to kill the target of their love are a minority.

>>1649493Iron Bull states that all Qunari have a thing for dominant women due to their upbringing.
God, this game was such a masterpiece in terms of music and (debatively) story. Shame the Esper system sucked.
>>1651018VI's was better.
>>1651018>>1651052That’s not VIII
>>1651006>Shame the Esper system suckedWhat was wrong with it?
1-5 are great but I think 6 is when they really started to get ambitiousThey didn't succeed in all areas, like you said the Esper system is half-baked and ends up devolving gameplay to magic spam and undermining the individual character abilities, but the operatic theming, sheer amount of content, Uematsu going ham on the soundtrack, all of it comes together
>>1651006>Shame the Esper system suckedstill better than IV,VII,VIII and IX systems
