So yeah, deck building CYOA rpg made by retards. Because I decided it was a good day to farm prosper ratings. Anyone here desperate enough to give it a try?

Since the fall of Tumblr these degenerates have to discharge their cringe elsewhere and it's spilling everywhere. Video and board games of the role-playing variety were made victims of a strikingly heavy load of this stuff. Did you catch the disembodied phallic symbol in the trailer?

Played it twice, both endings sucked.
Reminds me of vampire the masquerade bloodlines, there are no good endings unless you try real hard to find one.
Can't be bothered to play it for the third time, but I have to admit it is a fun little game and good for what it is.

narrative RPG with card-based battles

Should we reach a point where we have space colonists - especially a point where the first colony ship gets launched, it's not going to be populated by woke ass non binary soy boys. An endeavor that's probably doomed from the start, with guaranteed privation, is going to self select the hardest of us.

So right off the bat this is stupid.

Also, all I needed to know about this game is that one of the first reviews signs off with "Stay safe" which is the current sign off for the most pathetic class of humans since the world started turning.

There is a reason only weirdos are on the ship, mid game plot following

they are unwanted on earth and their journey is illegal. Probably criminals belonging to a cult fleeing to another planet.

You're laughing, but watch it become the Codex GOTY in 4 months.

 

[Urthor]

Anyone playing this for, ahem, research purposes?

Apparently, this game is up for a best-story telling award at the Golden Joysticks this year.

Best Storytelling:

• IMMORTALITY
• Return to Monkey Island
• Horizon Forbidden West
• NORCO
• I Was A Teenage Exocolonist
• Wayward Strand

All of the games in this list are bad so it makes sense.

DarkUnderlord one of your minions moved this clearly western crpg to the jrpgs subforum where some quality games get discussed. I want to say it was Scruffy that did it, he is certainly retarded enough, but perhaps it was Infinitron. Either way, I hope this situation gets rectified and the tranny kwans embrace the product of their dying civilization.

Why THE FUCK is this in my forum?

Why is this "clearly western"?

edit to clarify: What is the determining factor for this distinction, HQ location of the dev?

No, quality.

This looks like technically is not a JRPG, but instead a western gamebook of sorts with some gameplay and definitively NOT japanese characters, as they're invariably ugly. Kinda like Disco Elysium but worse.
Oh well, the Codex makes less and less sense everyday...

 

[Peachcurl]

I dunno, plenty of other games in this subforum (some with quite long threads) might not fit the bill either...

 

[manifest]

Look pretty Japanese to me.

All hipster indie RPGs are JRPGs by default. Blame Earthbound.

Certainly it's not the best way to sign off, what with "safe" having taken on the connotations it has. I prefer "Try not to get gruesomely killed".

According to metacritic, this is the 8th best PC game of the year so far. Make of this what you will.

 

[Norfleet]

Considering that when I think of noteable "Games that came out this year", I draw a complete blank, I'm thinking this like that meme about winning the Special Olympics.

 

[RaggleFraggle]

Solarpunk future? I’ll take atompunk over that any day.

 

[Norfleet]

That's a very good question considering that everything I know about it suggests that it is an entirely Western form of degeneracy, rather than shitty Japanese pornographic cartoons. I was a bit confused to find it in here, too.

Kind of, but this game seems to be more a card game with RPG mechanics thrown in. Outside of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and uh...Dual Monsters, card games are more a western thing. Especially making a game centered around it.

Apparently all you need to do to get great scores and win awards is create some game with a LGBTQA sob-story with some ugly ass art and you'll shoot the the top of the charts. Reminds me of all those Amiga games that had really nice looking 3D graphics for 1989 and got 10/10 scores back in the day. But now its just an ugly reminder of how much time has passed.

Trying to colonize a planet with nothing but gay colonists seems like a bad idea.
