I just finished playing through a bunch of RPGs, so I want to try something else for a bit. But it feels like my entire backlog is RPGs…

So I'm just playing Mario Maker again for now.

Outside of 1 clearing Subterranean Animism on normal, i've been playing Crusader Kings. I have a console command cheat save right now where i'm removing Germanic presence from Europe. Sadly, there's no continental celts in game so I just went with making them all Scottish culture.

I saw this on my queue today! But I only really enjoyed M&B for the single-player and all the nice mods and stuff they had. I liked to sometimes use the slow-motion cheat in the samurai mod and pretend I was a really cool ronin like in the silly movies and stuff!

For Warband, two mods I like very much is Gekokujo, set in the Sengoku Jidai, and Brytenwalda, set in Britain circa the viking invasion. They are both very through mods that change the whole experience, so you might wanna try playing the vanilla for a bit.

Only thing I know is, on release, on many servers guilds would camp all the enemies that could give you vampirism. Then they would demand people pay them if they wanted to fight them and get the vampirism disease and become vampires.

Also most of it's playerbase is on console. I don't know if PC and console share servers.

I've bought The Long Dark and Furi during the autumn sale, both are really fun!

I like survival games but nowadays most of them seem to be about zombies or focused on multiplayer so The Long Dark was a nice alternative for me! I can even write a diary in game! It's pretty cozy for a survival game, well on the medium difficulty anyway!

Furi is the opposite of cozy but it's one of the funnest and most challenging games I've played in a while! Getting your butt kicked by a boss until you get better and finally beat him is very rewarding! I also like the story and art style a lot, so far! Oh and the soundtrack is amazing! Overall probably the best game I played all year!

 No.9282

Nice I want to try Furi some day.

I got Dragon's Dogma from the Humble Monthly. It seems like it will never go bellow 12$. Might as well grab it from there and maybe get some other decent games tomorrow.

The ending was great, just like the rest of the story and the last boss was really hard! Looking forward to playing through it a second time on furier difficulty next!

>>9282
Dragon's Dogma was great! I had to quit sometime after reaching the second town but I'm planning to pick it up again soon once I find the time! Wonder what my pawn has been up to in the meantime…

>>9283
Yeah there seem to be a ton of survival games getting released lately but I liked the setting of The Long Dark! Surviving in the cold with no one else around sounded like a lot of fun and the devs seem to be constantly updating the game as well which is my main concern when buying Early Access games!
I've also picked up Subnautica but it seems to be more about crafting and exploration than actual survival… Not that I really mind, though!

Oh wow! Since I last played, it looks like he released a big patch that added quite a lot of new content. I haven't played with the new stuff yet, but looking through the changelog looks like it's now even more worth buying if you like harvest moon or other similar games. I might even start a new character and play again~

It was pretty fun although they borrowed a lot of ideas from other games…

I really want to like this game, the main characters design is super cute. All of her expressions are great.

>look at stat progressions so your character doesn't ends weak in the late game
I this is something I wasn't a fan of. My main was a Magick Archer but because the vocation has horrible stat gains I had to level as a Sorcerer.

 No.10359

>>10358
Late game equipment has more than twice your base stats (outside of the basic bow).
I only ever rolled assassin (which has the highest physical damage progression).

Outside of Sorc having absurd stats for no reason and thus being mandatory to level as for magic characters, I don't think it really matters.
The BBI 3 gear has 2000+ base str/mag, which you will never reach (I think I had less than 1000 base str with the fastest single stat progression class in the game).
Theoretically the defensive stats have more of an effect on your post BBI output.
It doesn't matter anyway, since it's an easy game and the grigory drops are more than enough to clear everything up to and including the first daimon run.
There's a solid chance you'll drop a BBI 2 weapon and just waltz through literally everything in the game anyway, since you suddenly clear things literally 10x as fast.
Pretty much only daimon2 and the special drake types are tough enough for stats to ever matter, and physical chars are just going to talisman+blast arrows daimon anyway.

 No.10362

Yea I leveled up a good 50 times as Magick Archer and still did fine.

Probably a good idea to learn about the BBI purification manipulation though. That way you won't get items you or your pawn can't use.

It usually works if you leave the .mdf in your virtual drive!
Otherwise you might want to check if there's a crack inside the .mdf or if there's a link to one on the site you downloaded it from!

It's basically a way to use a digital copy of a disc as if it's a physical disc.

If you just rename the .mdf to an .iso you'll likely be able to mount it with windows built in program. Otherwise you'll have to download a program like wincdemu.

A virtual drive is a virtual CD/DVD drive, you use it to run virtual CDs/DVDs!
I think an .mdf file is a disc image, so a virtual disc that you can run with your virtual drive!
How did you install the game without using a virtual drive?

 No.10420

>>10416
install like daemon tools lite or something and create 1 (ONE) virtual drive which will mimic a physical CD/DVD drive. It will be given a drive letter like a realio drive like maybe it'll be called E: drive or F: drive or something. Then you want to mount the .mdf file to that drive letter, this is like putting a physical disc into a drive, except it's all virtual. with daemon tools it'll mount right away if you just clickyclicky it, but if you use a different program you might have to go through a menu or something.

i hope that helps you on your adventure! please ganbatte /nen/fren!!

I tried reading steam VN Lucy - The Eternity She Wished For, but the english translation has awkward and stiff writing and in the first 30 minutes there were quite a few grammar mistakes, words [that were] missing, and a couple spelling errors.

These sorts of things aren't really forgivable for a post-v1.0 release that's meant to be a professional production. I like most of the rest of the VN - the overall story is nice; the music is nice; the theme is consistent; the background/CG artwork is nice (but I didn't see enough sprites to be able to comment on that aspect of the artwork) - but that's all secondary to the storytelling and writing.

It's got Overwhelmingly Positive on steam too, but it's just not worth it when I can go through Planetarian again for free. Sigh.

I think the creators talked with each other and agreed that making a sequel would be a bad idea. There are lots of fan games out there that are really good and I suppose you could call Undertale a spiritual successor to OFF although it has nothing to do with it story wise and is also a lot more light-hearted in its tone.
Although it would be great to have more games like OFF the concept would probably get old at some point and it would lose its unique charm…

I'm actually playing on the PSP since I'm too lazy to emulate!
I've decided to play through all the Final Fantasy games in order and finished 1 a few weeks ago, really liked the party system in that one! I went with the standard NES party Warrior, Monk, Thief, Red Mage since the easier difficulty of the PSP version basically allows me to breeze through the game by spamming attack!
FF2 is often criticised for its leveling system. Instead of gaining experience points you increase your stats by "using them" which means losing hp to gain more max hp or casting a spell multiple times to make it more powerful! What that leads to is that the best way to increase your stats is having your party members beat each other up in battle to make them lose hp faster while the enemies look on in terror. It was an interesting concept but it just didn't work out very well in practice…
The original NES version also required you to cast spells a ridiculous amount of times to level them up to the point where you had to abuse a bug where a spell counts as cast if you target something with it, so you basically had to target an enemy and hit cancel over and over to level your spells up…
Well at least the characters and story are more fleshed out than in FF1!

I finished ff2 a few days ago!
The final boss seemed a lot easier than the one from the first game but that's probably because I used the blood sword.
Played through Soul of Rebirth as well but it was basically just a bunch of reused areas and a lot of grinding so I didn't like it too much…
I think gameplay wise the first game was definitely better, the unique leveling system was interesting but it just ended up with me having 3 very overpowered characters with no weaknesses which made the game way too easy. I think I killed the iron giant with one or two spells before it could even attack and the final boss went down after 2 or 3 rounds in both the original game and Soul or Rebirth.
A lot of that probably has to do with the dumbed down difficulty but the ff1 on the psp is a lot easier than the original as well but the final boss in that game still managed to kill my party once or twice in contrast to the one from ff2 which didn't even manage to kill a single party member…
I liked the story of ff2 a lot more though, the Emperor was a great villain and it felt like you were fighting for a cause instead of just running from quest to quest and the plot and characters were actually progressing!

I'm playing through ff3 now and it looks like they took a step back story wise but a big leap forward gameplay wise! The job system is very cool and the character models actually change depending on which job they have! Wow!
Thankfully the difficulty level hasn't been adjusted for the remake so it's basically the same game as the original but with some additional content. I'm planning to get a perfect save file for this game so it might take me a while before I'll move on to ff4 but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with the game until then!

Thank you for reading my post!

I was going to get all the weapons in Drakengard which was kind of a grind but I still enjoyed it! The gameplay was a little dull but the weird story made up for it, in my opinion.

I know what you mean, having predetermined roles for the different characters usually makes more sense story and gameplay wise and it can be fun having to change your strategies depending on what characters are currently in your party!

I finished it as well. The sound track was absolutely amazing, but I have some reservations about the gameplay. The open world feels so empty. Sometimes it feels like I'm playing a single player mmo. Side quests for the most part were rather boring and uninteresting. And most of the bosses were pretty unmemorable. Except for Simone and that part where you battle 2 bosses switching between A2 and 9s The story, atmosphere, and themes were top notch though. If you guys really liked the original nier, you should definitely check it out. Also Emi Evans has her own chaos song again.

I've been playing nothing but Breath of the Wild for the past 3 weeks. The main story isn't anything special, but just exploring the world, doing random side quests, messing around with physics, and finding new items and cooking ingredients has been a lot of fun for me so far.

 No.11248

I agree the world felt empty but I guess that was the point. The map was also really small in the end. The combat gets repetitive kind of fast: mashing X and dodging gets you through most of the game.

I did all of the 60 side quests and there were plenty of boring fetch quests but some of them felt pretty important to the story and world building. I also liked the sense of humor.

Automata surely has plenty of flaws but it feels like the good parts more than make up for them.

I played it for the 2 weeks it came out. Agreed that the main story was pretty boring. The dungeons were boring and the flashbacks don't reveal much.

Kiriko's gimmicks definitely seem pretty weak.

 No.11415

>>11414
Yeah her hyper is pretty weak and very situational, at least with Fernet's hyper you get to potentially weaken an opponent and go in for the kill while Kiriko's hyper forces you to kill them for a measly 30 stars… It would be better if it at least gave opponents killed that way a debuff like increasing their recovery value or something.
It also doesn't synergize very well with her gameplan since she can't gain life and is basically guaranteed to die at some point going for a star norma doesn't seem like a good idea. It also makes cards like sealed guardian and forced revival worse since if she gets hit by them she'll be stuck at 1 life permanently until she dies. Her -1 to defence also doesn't help her with surviving…
Her only saving grace is her battle card ability, losing 1 max hp isn't that big of a deal when you have 8 and it lets her play more aggressively but if you draw none of your battle cards you're kind of screwed.

NoName on the other hand is insane, his stats are great and he gets to play as aggressively as he wants since he doesn't lose any stars on KO and nobody would dare attack you anyway as long as there's a boss on the field. Even when he gets KO'd and turns into a head he just turns back to normal once he reaches a home plate! Definitely my new favourite character!

I really like my Switch. It doesn't have very many games yet, but the system itself feels really nice in handheld mode, it's kind of like a big Vita, and I find it a lot more comfortable to hold than the Wii U gamepad. I was concerned about the lack of a proper D-pad at first, but playing 2D platformers like Blaster Master Zero isn't as bad as I thought it would be, and I can still get combos right in King of Fighters '98.

They're all I play anymore. I can't seem to stop and play something else even though I want to, it's like an addiction. I mostly play EU3, DH, and Vicky2. I still haven't really tried out EU4 or CK2 a whole lot even though they've been out for a while.

Vicky 2 is my favorite. I've never could quite "get into" DH or HOI despite playing it a lot, it's not as fun to me. Nowadays I play mostly EU4, it's constantly being updated so the experience is always fresh, and CK2 is not my style.
EU3 really is all-around a better game than its sequel, but for some reason I can't enjoy it anymore. EU4 is frustrating in a lot of ways but it has me completely hooked, I play it non-stop until they release some patch or update that breaks a nation that I enjoy playing with then I go months without touching it, but I eventually come back. I know how you feel about it being almost an addiction, a lot of times I want to play something else but it's almost like I feel a duty to keep my campaign going. There's some evil magic imbued in those Paradox games.

I like Darkest Hour because it has the WW1 scenario with Japan that doesn't have that awkwardly held starting Manchuria territory. I always imagine that I'm building up an empire that looks like something out of a ghibli movie!!

I liked HoI3 as well because it had lots of territories that you could use to outmaneuver the enemy and it was fun (though tedious) building up your own OOB meticulously before war breaks out and then watching it crumble into a horrible broken mess. Some people didn't like that because it felt like their time was wasted building it but I like it because you can interpret it like your overall organization is falling apart when things go bad just like how it goes in real life!

I didn't like HoI4 much at all though. I didn't really like how they simplified some of the parts that I enjoyed being deep.

I only played a little bit of vicky 2 years and years ago. In terms of time period and scale, I like vicky 2 the best, but I don't know why I didn't give it a proper go. Maybe I will play it again properly someday!

Despite all this, I don't really find any of Paradox's grand strategy games particularly compelling. I keep getting distracted from having fun by silly mechanics or gameplay quirks that appear from time to time and I don't like. Like how the supply systems in HoI are a bit awkward, how you can surround a capital city like Moscow but they're still in supply because all the food from the countryside (that they're cutoff from) just magically spawns inside the city. Or like how the AI makes huge doomstacks that are completely ridiculous and sometimes the only way to knock them out is by building your own equally ridiculous stack - that sort of thing, just for example.

Persona 5 is the only one I know on that list, but it's pretty great. It feels like a combination of all previous Persona games and it has the most stylish visuals I've ever seen in a JRPG.

While I agree that older games shouldn't be ignored just because they're old, I think sometimes it's fun to start with the newest game in the series, and then go back to the very first one to see how it all started.

Nier is very good and essentially standalone, since it's connection to Drakengard is tenuous. You'll want to play it a few times to get the whole story.

It depends on the game though, like it would be silly to play Shadow Hearts 2 before the first one since the story is a direct continuation, but on the other hand the third game is a completely new story so you could play it before either of the first two.

 No.11747

Oh I remember that final part, it was really exciting!
I felt really proud when I finally managed to beat it!

>>11735
I'd recommend Nier if you want more of an action adventure game and Persona 5 if you want a JRPG. Both games are pretty character driven! I'm not too familiar with the Tales of series but I suppose if you want to go for a JRPG with a fantasy setting you could go for that instead of Persona 5!
I usually tend to play through a video game series from start to finish regardless if the story of the titles is connected to one another or not, with the exception of games that don't really have a story like the Civilization series or where previous titles in the series are old and hard to get your hands on although most of the time if a series is really successful there will be remakes of those titles like with the early Final Fantasy or Persona games!
I just like seeing how the games evolved over time, what kind of concepts the developers tried out and maybe ditched later and sometimes there's callbacks to earlier titles as well! Although I can understand why most people wouldn't bother with playing earlier games in a series, especially if they're only loosely connected or basically stand alone titles.

I never played the original might and magic series but I did really enjoy playing the master of the elements game since it was the only game I had. I never played any of the rest of the series so maybe I should…

 No.11751

Even with video games that have connected plots, you should still be able to enjoy the story without having played it from start to finish. While you can't often do that with a book series, video games are a different medium and are usually able to pull it off.

Heck, even really intricate and story-focused games don't need to be done in release order. For example, I only started the Metal Gear Solid series with MGS2 on PS2 and I still enjoyed it. I know some people have actually played it with the game's story in chronological order, so that's MGS3, 5, 2, 1, and then 4 (what a mess of a chronology while still excluding the spinoffs!), so it's clear it's not always necessary to do it in order, even with connected plots, so I don't think you should tell people how to play their games like that!!!!

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I think doing that kind of thing is disrespectful toward the creators.

 No.11755

ok I narrowed it down to P5 or n:a, and I'm leaning towards nier because it's $10 cheaper on amazon and hopefully by the time i finish it P5 will be cheaper

>>11754
I think the creators care more that people enjoy their games. Also I think they'd rather I buy their newest game rather than a used copy of a ten year old game. Plus the "creators" often change over the course of a series, especially a long-running one like FF.

 No.11756

>>11755
The story in Nier is pretty sad, not sure about Persona 5 but it seems a little more upbeat, at least! Nier is a pretty unique game so it might not be for everyone, although the gameplay elements are pretty creative and there is some variety it's not the main selling point of the game. Most people play it for the story and you have to play through the game multiple times to see every ending so please be aware of that!
It's one of my favourite games though so if it sounds like a game you might enjoy I'd definitely recommend it!

And yeah nowadays publishers try to make later games in a series as accessible to newcomers as possible since not a lot of people would buy a game that requires you to play the prequels first to understand what's going on. I don't think there's anything wrong with playing Nier without having played Drakengard and you won't really miss out on anything if you don't but I usually prefer to play the older games in a series first just so I can learn about its origins!

I'm sure you'll all be excited to learn I decided to buy Nier: Automata over P5 (and tales). I reached this decision because I am probably going to start a Nepnep game and go back to playing DT2 soon, so I thought it would be better to have something without turn-based combat. Also it was cheaper.

I always thought someone would eventually say "whom doth thou quoth" even if it doesn't really make sense, but I searched on lots of archives and I don't think anyone ever went that far even though it has nice alliteration.

I'm not an archaic English grammar otaku, but isn't ``dost'' more correct than ``doth'' in this case? Again, my apologies if I am mistaken, which is entirely likely.
