Game of the year contender 2021

[rusty_shackleford]

I let my 10 year old play this game and play new Pathfinder game. She decided to continue playing Pathfinder :D

you let your kid play h-games?
that's kinda creepy tbh

it's kinda creepy how you act like the game has any serious sexual content

you mean like a succubus made out of feces that tries to seduce you?

to me, it sounds like you let her, what kind of degenerate are you?

Sorry, I'm not german.

Clearly, we don't count attempts at seduction as intercourse, it's not even first base

 

[Parabalus]

Yes, well worth a blind run. Play on Hard.

Combat system is different, that irks a lot of people, but it's very good.

If I was to play just one game - one, two or three?

Start with 1, the rest don't make sense otherwise.

When she got to part where Anevia and Irabeth embrace and call each other wife she whispered to me: "Mom would not want me to play this game."

And its NOT happening just inside your head? Just making sure.

a woman referring to her husband as wife is pretty weird tbh

I didn't tell her about that part. I didn't feel like explaining it in details. She gets bored by complex games sooner than later, I doubt she will reach part of the game where that is revealed.

I say Jupiter Hell for now (if RLs count) but i played almost no rpgs the past year. Atom sequel/whatever it is looks good but i did't try it yet. I hope most for KOTC 2 this year.

Pathfinder 2 - The Children Edition will win tough.

 

[Peachcurl]

Pathfinder 2 winning? Wouldn't be the first time I haven't played a codex RPGOTY.

(After Pathfinder 1, I'm waiting at least a year from release until I play another Owlcat game)

It's already great, you can play it

Some bugs here and there, but nothing game breaking

Looks nice, is it fun to play?

Wildermyth attempted to be innovative with procedurally-generated story-telling, and the player spends much of the time in combat which is turn-based and party-based. However, the combat is too simplistic to be satisfying, and the story-telling doesn't work quite as well as the designers hoped. Still, if you find the aesthetics charming, you might as well as give it a try, as it can be an entertaining experience for at least three of the multi-chapter campaigns, which each have an overarching scripted plot-line overlaid on the proecedural events.

Cheers, that was informative. To me it looks like garbage, easy pass on this one. I guess from about 8 onwards I would have found the art lame, I grew out of childish stuff by that age.

 

[Atlet]

I liked the art style, really. Very fairy tale-like.

 

[Ismaul]

Art style made for rainbow faggots. Pukeorific.

 

[GhostCow]

The best RPG I've played so far this year is probably Bravely Default II so I'd place my bets on SMTV.

 

[Abu Antar]

PC games only for any polls, though.

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

Then we will make our own, competitive pool!

 

[GhostCow]

PC version for SMTV was in the Geforce leaks. Fingers crossed. Otherwise Bravely Default 2 is coming to PC so I'd probably be forced to vote for that. There's also Rogue Lords and Astria Ascending coming out tomorrow. Maybe one of those will turn out to be amazing but I doubt it.

 

[Abu Antar]

Bravröy Default 2 is already out on PC. Astria Ascending started as a mobile game. No big hopes there.

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

I highly doubt that SMTV will come out this year for PC. The game was hyped as a Switch exclusive for years, I doubt that Nintendo secured less than 3 months of exclusivity.

you just exhaust all options in the dialog tree, and that's it, pretty much

Some dialogue options that you can choose end up as negative modifiers for certain dialogue checks, thus decreasing your dice roll odds.

I know, hence I said it has some lite RPG elements.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Wizardry and DE can't both be cRPGs, the games are far too different. One of them is the cRPG, I'll let you figure out which.

But in that point specifically you were implying that it makes no difference if you just choose all dialogue options, when in fact choosing certain options give you better odds.

Yeah, Wizardry is just a series of lowly dungeon crawlers.

Although 6, 7 and 8 were a bit more heavy on c&c.
