Pathfinder Kingmaker Release Date Preview: Teaching an Old School PC RPG Genres New Tricks
PATHFINDER KINGMAKER feels like the right sort of homage to old school RPG games, but one that can easily count itself as one of the most exciting new releases of 2018.
It seems our passion for classical roleplaying games never went away.
That’s the resounding impression one gets from seeing the success of Divinity: Original Sin II, Pillars of Eternity II, and Torment: Tides of Numenera - unashamedly hardcore RPGs that harken back to what many consider a golden age for the genre.
Can I get a Citation needed?

Hey remember guys that game journalists expressed high level of joy towards POE2 too!
Can't believe this game is our last hope for this year, there's not a single decent rpg to be released till 2019 and somehow there's not a single one announced, oh boy this is going to be a bad winter
How spoilt this new generation.
I remember a time when Oblivion was the only cock in the henhouse ... a limp, impotent cock.
All we had to look forward to was some semi-competent mods for aging games and the latest scrawny rpg from obsidian.
How things have changed.
Yeah, I remember that time. I also remember the glory days when we were all unaware that computer RPGs had already peaked, and that in the decades to follow there was nowhere to go but down.
"This new generation" isn't to blame, though. The blameworthy ones are has-been developers or studio leads like Brian Fargo and Richard Garriott who leveraged their old big-name hits for capital, but whose mouths were writing checks that their asses couldn't cash. They reignited hopes that probably should have been left to rest in peace.
The two best cRPGs released since the beginning of the Kickstarter boom (a "boom" that ultimately proved to be the sound of shattering hopes and dreams) were developed by a hitherto unknown Eastern European man in one case and a fucking NMA/Codex ancient groglord in the other, each with pocket lint budgets and development tools apparently salvaged from a pile of 3.5" floppy discs that turned up at a charity shop, and neither one connected to any form of crowdfunding.

You forget yourself, sir.
Back then turn based games had one foot in the grave, and first person rpgs had all but shanked all other perspectives. Back then Mass Effect and then the first Dragon Age squashed felt like a mocking tombstone erected over an entire genre.
Say what you will about your Wasteland and your Divinty sequels, they at the very least attempt to both ressurect the scope and tactical combat of games gone by.

It's Wasteland 1, though Chrono Trigger is one of his top 5.
FF IX is clearly the best of PS1 FFs
7 is okay but overrated
8 is pure shit
9 is a masterpiece in almost every side, and the music is one of nobuo uematsu's best

I didn't forget about that at all.
The participation trophy era is at an end. There is no credit given for failed attempts, especially if those failed attempts resulted from: arrogance and egotism (Molyneux and numerous others); mismanagement of resources (Tim Schafer); outright greed (Richard Garriott); hiring retarded Millennial SJWs to do your writing (inXile/T:ToN); "pro-accessibility" design choices (various and insidious); and outright moronic, game-ruining decisions made by sub-70 IQ literal retards (D:OS2's braindead initiative and ablative armor systems, etc.).
Oh, I forgot about NEO Scavenger, which is as good an RPG as Underrail or Age of Decadence in its hybridized way, was also developed by one dude and maybe a helper or two, and also wasn't developed via any sort of crowdfunding.

Actually you could change the ATB to "Wait" which resulted in RTwP since it paused all other ATBs while you were browsing your options.
I still like 4 and 6 the most, though admittedly 4 was my very first FF game. I stopped playing after the atrocity that was 8, though I do wish I could have played 9. I tried X a few years ago when it was dirt cheap on Steam but meh. No idea what people found so endearing about it. Could not get warm with it all.

Just because these devs are from Russia it does not mean they all have to be in love with Fallout. At least some of them can defy expectation :D
Ok, seriously, where are the backer keys?

i had to get to owlcat throught berserkitten to gey my beta key.
But I was the special case of rpgcodex fundraise. I thought it's supposed to be better with regular backers.

The game is obviously intended for and aimed at the Western market. If it gets a Russian release, some aspects of it will probably be heavily censored, like the oh-so-popular "non-traditional relationships". I'm not sure how strict they are with media that depicts such content, though.

In Putin's Russia, it is outright illegal. Should be fun watching the KGBtapo kick down Owlcat's door.
