  1. Azarkon vs the Cult of Hardcore RPG Fatalism - can hardcore RPGs sell better?

    People liked it because it is very accessible, easy to understand and get into. Strategy games were huge around the time(AoE, Starcraft etc.) and BG basically plays like a strategy game with more story and exploration. If you look at other RPG games around the time, like Mandate of Heaven, BG...

  2. Good RPGs without saving the world

    The Sims.

  3. Dragon Age: Inquisition is a better game than Pillars of Eternity

    DAI is a nice tech-demo for Frostbyte. They just forgot to release the tool-set afterwards for people with brains to produce some content. PoE is just a failed experiment where classes and characters have no identity. Only memorable thing about that game was that the character creator made the...

  4. Incline POLL: Roshan's Quick and Brutal 2015 RPGOTY Survey

    If they are adding lightning returns, you should also include the EE and DC of D:OS and W2 respectively tbh. If F4 is getting votes, they deserve some too.

  5. Anime Fallout 1 recreated in Gamebryo (WiP)

    A casual wouldn't even be interested in trying the original Fallout 1. There are plenty of people who would be interested in classic cRPG's if they got a chance to try them out, but the exposure today is very limited except for new AAA-titles. When you are in school, you gotta play Fallout 4...

  6. The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians - dungeon crawler with RTwP combat

    The game actually look like what would happen if you put WoW into Grimrock, even specifically stating that they are basing the game on the shitty healers/dps/tank-trifecta which ruined mmo's. I am guessing there is a pause function because the devs thought it would be more flashy and more...

  7. Underrail [PRE-RELEASE THREAD, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    So I've taken 3 characters to and quite a bit into the junkyard now. Twice with Oddity, once with Classic xp. The one I had most success with was the one with Oddity xp + full Psi-abilities + crafting psi-stuff for myself. Maybe it's just early game, but psi-powers seem a bit strong...

  8. Underrail [PRE-RELEASE THREAD, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Why are Burrowers so fucking strong? I was feeling all powerful and shit with my psi-user until I ran into those fuckers...

  9. Cooldown combat is the best TBS system

    Best way is obviously that magic has a longer cast-time the more powerful spells are, thus limiting the usefulness of spells relative to how safe you can keep your mage. An MMORPG called Dark Age of Camelot had a pretty interesting thing late in its years, where you had certain classes that...

  10. RPGs you could not complete

    PoE: Gave it a serious try. Wanted to like it. Couldn't. Good effort, better luck with Torment. NWN2: That game was just plain awful. Extremely unlikable NPC's, shitty combat, nonsensical story up to the point where I played at least. Think I got to the final act or close to it. Never played...

  11. "Dead is Dead" CRPGS

    I did an ironman run of IWD a while ago. It was pretty fun. Made a basic 6-man party of 2 fighting classes, 1 rogue, cleric, druid, wizard. Lost the Druid about halfway in, one fighter near that end, and all but the rogue and wizard to the final boss. Felt like how a regular shitty fantasy...

  12. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

    One of the best open world games for me lately. Generally love the MGS series, so the stuff with going back to the same area/base over and over to do different things doesn't bother me one bit(at least it's fun strangling and sicking your dog on enemies here, as opposed to all the shit-exploring...

  13. Indie Project Resurgence - cRPG inspired by Fallout and Arcanum

    Worked for MM6. You felt like a genius when you figured out you could just spam arrows in RT, then enter TB and let the poor sods slide down the hill they struggled minutes to get up onto.

  14. Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    Tried both, actually. (own GOG, downloaded original image files) Now I found out something new. G-Sync does NOT like old games. At all. Experimented a lot with turning off G-Sync today and it solved pretty much all issues I've had with some older games, this included.

  15. Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    Fucking game wont ever start for me again after I upgraded gfx-cards. Same OS(64-bit Win7). Still SLI. Same manufacturer. Crash at startup. Hadn't played it for a few months, so probably new gfx-drivers that are messing with it. Can play other notoriously hard-to-launch-games without a problem...
