A friend of mine started raving to me about how big a fan of immersive sims he is and how Bioshock is his favorite. I called him a retard because Bioshock has never been, and will never be, and immersive sim. It is a spectacle shooter with very low interactivity.Which one of us is right? Is Bioshock an immersive sim or not?
>>2788593Emergent gameplay and narrative all paired with player agency, or if you're a trve Looking Glass patrician, player authorship.
>>2788567>picFunny how this just turned out to be a pipe dream because developers are lazy and the industry turned towards cinematic/narrative experiences as a vehicle for social engineering.
>>2788593by being a garbage game just like them
>>2788278No one with a credit score above 700 uses that term and I refuse to associate with them.
It's an FPS shooty-shoot gun game where you go to from point A to point B.

>>2786855based leading man
>>2790967>all games are inherently automated>to prove it let me fight a battle in this one RPG without even picking up the controllerI can’t tell if you’re trolling or not, but you are making me laugh.
>>2786855were he and the rabbit fucking or what
>>2791062of course they were I mean look at her, built for sky pirate dick
Do I really need to know? Is this really what life is? Who writes videogame journals for rpgs? Who aspires for that?
>>2789692Low IQ plebeian writes for low IQ plebeians, poetry.
>>2789692Tragically we've entered a time when people can't figure out shit through context and not only do they need a primer before tying their shoe, they need someone to explain to them what they just saw after wards.
>>2789692this thread honestly is sader than the article? who gives a shit are you just learning the video game journalism is a complete fucking joke as is all internet media
Thoughts on this remake? The original is one of my fav action rpg games
>>2791039Well I disagree but thats an entirely different topic
>>2791046>I disagreeAnd you would be wrong.
>>2791039All modes are baby modeIt is a game for babies
>>2790983Aside from fighting anywhere 2-5 groups of enemies on every new map, yeah pretty much, although was more sneaking around than running past. Because I spedread the tutorial boxes because I can't even with walls of text, combat wasn't clicking with me, so I was too much of a pussy to fight most enemies. Like we're talking Dean Takahashi levels of pants-on-head retarded here, i'm actually kind of embarrassed of how bad my first failed playthru went. I was literally mashing same two attack buttons over and over, not even engaging with the class actions or anything. It was really boring movie-game bullshit up until I kept getting my ass kicked and decided to call it quits. Second runthru tho: MASSIVE improvement over the first, the way I was meant to be playing it finally got thru my thick skull.
>>2791018Based and restores hope for arpgfuturepilled.
What upcoming RPG are you most excited about? For me it's Underrail: Infusion.
>>2788999not him but W2 is better than W3 is almost every regard.W3 is so dumbed down(most of the skills are gone) and the weapons are so stupid it's not funny anymore
Stolen Realm looks kind of interestinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ42wUrC9Jo
>>2791264I really liked inqisition.
>>2788975Into the Breach but it will only last a couple of weeks
>>2788845Went into Wasteland thinking the game aesthetic was going to be Post-Apoc Tacticool, ended up being Mad Max. The game is still pretty fun but it was disappointing the soundtrack is amazing though
What is the hardest rpg ever made?
4 had bullshit difficulty because it required knowledge from the first three games ON TOP of being ridiculous.I don't think many games can compete simply because the design philosophy of making sequels build on the previous parts (including requiring transfer of save data) hasn't caught on and most series are made with brand new players in mind.
>>2790982Wrong. It's very much a detailed EvE. Play it and see for yourself, if you can.
>>2791077Played it after Mandy's review. Still not RPG.
>>2791077It's a like a tabletop wargame, not a RPG. but a relative.
>>2791623>>2791627Wrong.
>make a challenge for my new roguelike DLC on unfair>unfair winner is a solo wizard casting invisibility and running past all the mobs>on bosses it casts damage spells from scrolls and then hits invisibility as the boss stays in place taking damage until death >this is the best build in the game>just dont interact with anything, everabsolute kek, couldn't make it up if i tried owlsisters
RATBROS, WE FINALLY WON.
>>2790864>Locked camera: Why? you already designed the assets.This was addressed in one of the first videos after Wrath was announced, Kingmaker wasn't designed for camera rotation, and the assets aren't completely 3D
>>2790864>>class balance is garbage. Zero reason to play Wizard over sorc.Out of all the class inequalities in classes in a dnd 3.x derived system, you picked Wizard vs sorcerer as your example?And presented summons and pets as the best cheese?This feels like a fucking list you copied from a place like steam forums
>>2791041A fool and his money are easily parted.
>>2790864Their games have a solid foundation. All the classes, spells, and abilities you could ever want are there, but they just fail to DO anything with it. It's like the dev team doesn't have the talent to do anything remotely complex like A.I or a crime and punishment system. Or even provide decent writing and dialogue.
I just want an RPG with the roleplaying potential of CRPGs but none of its combat and build autism. Is that too much to ask? The resources they used for DnD's convoluted combat can be allocated to the roleplaying stuff.
>>2791602That's pretty much what you are saying, retard.Doing combat without a system for it is dumb and not what RPGs are about.
>>2791602>can't parse what he himself wroteHoly shit why are you even here yammering about your reading rainbow faggotry then?Read more books nigga, it might make you better at game rules.
>>2791553> If you wanted to find the furriest of multi user dungeons back in the day, it was always a MOO, not the MUD and the more things change the more they stay the same looking at for instance the DE crowd.Yeah, I don't get why they need a game at all if they don't like the game part. Just play pretend anywhere.
>>2791609>"inclusion"You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.>Also see: Marketing (To the LCD)
>>2786597You have to clarify what you mean by this, as a lot of faggots have been fooled by bioware and obsidian into thinking RPGs are virtual novels with combat hallways.
never actually bought this game. how come there are no torrents of it anywhere? it's DRM free, 16 years old and an absolute classic, even considering its flaws.
What's wrong with torrents???
>>2790779Zoomers can't into them.
>to to yar harr me mateys certain torrent site>gothic 3 gog>it pops up right awayAre you like, a special person, OP?
>>2789282it'd only be worth it if they pay you.
>>2788612I worry about you anon, if you're already poor enough not to be able to buy a 16 year old game AND dumb enough to not know how to pirate I think you soon might end up homeless
Are there any RPGs, other than Jade Empire, that cover a character's martial arts journey?I know there are very many games where a martial artist is in the game, but I can't think of any examples where the development of the martial artist themselves is either a key part of the plot or married to the main plot itself.
>>2788895Gonna give Tales of Wuxia a try. It was on sale for a decent price.
>my recommendation didn't get a reply
>>2789741Which one did you recommend?Urban Reign for PS2?
>>2789963>>2787977
>>2789705>always onlineNah
Talk about monster collecting and monster raising games. What are you playing?
>>2787032I'm liking Defiler. It's easy to build around because there are lots of creature races that specialize in debuffs or stat reduction. Unholy Night can kill the whole enemy team at once with the right builds.Ultimate is very flexible for experimenting with classes though, you don't really need to try to figure out what you want to be beforehand since you can just find out firsthand when you unlock the ability to switch specializations.It's kind of meta but I would recommend starting as Blood Mage or Monk because their starting creature is harder to get, and then be very careful about what you fuse them with.
>>2769549I feel like at some point during development they must have hired a new concept artist that actually knew what they were doing because it's a night and day difference between the old designs and the new stuff that was made from Tucma onwards.all the old stuff can basically be summed up as "ball with anime eyes on it"but the new stuff? you could draw any of them in the sugimori style shit it out on /vp/ pretending to be a fake leak and people would buy it.I wish they would go back and unfuck the older stuff but I don't see that realistically happening.
>>2788448Okay that was what I figured. I was wondering if there was a trick like getting a tiger a specific tech.
>mfw the thread almost dies
>>2791532It will come back every Monday. just wait a couple of days and stop letting it become a general.
What are the JRPGs every fan of the genre should play?
>>2786480paper mario 64!pokemon pre gen 6!
>>2786519Warpig spamners deserve to be drug through sawblades neovaginas first8waas
>>2791072Interesting, then what are your thoughts on KH2?
>>2786480Valkyrie Profile
>>2791371I obviously like it less than KH1, because it is way more action and less rpg. Way more of Sora's power comes from your player skill in KH2, which makes the rpg mechanics mostly meaningless. With Sora's increased speed, damage output and maneuverability the game also needs to throw way more heartless at you in normal battle rooms, and it powercreeps the bosses up to an insane degree with 15+ health bars and very fast movesets. It is analogous to the Dark Souls 1->3 evolution, the game became more polished and faster, but lost soul for it. Also I mourn the loss of platforming, which is only in KH1 really, although there was at least an attempt to bring it back for DDD and KH3. Overall my ranking of the KHs I played would be KH1>KH2>KH3>Dream Drop Distance>Chain of Memories>Re:Coded. I liked all of them well enough to complete them however.Sidenote: I played KH before FF VII and VIII, and I was super disappointed Yuffie and Leon are in different games. The two have way better romantic chemistry than "Squall" has with every girl from his own game.
What goes into making a well written companion, /vrpg/?
>>2788325nice ass , classic supple body, tasteful breasts, a nice unused pussy. Submissive personality.
>>2788326I like you.
>>2788325I play Dragon Age Origins (never really got much into it)and the companions are pretty cool
Less is more most of the time.
>>2788331>Believablenah, if anything slightly over the top characters are more fun
Is it good?
>>2786903Shitting on JRPGs won’t increase your social credit score, and neither will whaling more on this piece of shit “game”
>>2762177Why does this game filter so many hipster zoomers? Is it because its good and they're only allowed like bad games?
>>2787545>>2788714(dabs on you)cringe + ratio +no one asked + stay mad kid
>>2790011It filters people with brains and awareness enough to know the bullshit being pulled.It's like not following the rapist into his van when be dangles candy in front of you, while you happily dive into the back of the van because "there's more candy there".
>>2762177Its the best game ever.
