I replayed DMoMM earlier this year and was killed more times by ladders than by actual enemies.

Here are some Hard Reset shots from the cut scenes. I really like the style, they were short but visually great.



















A sequel with focus on a simple single player campaign would be great. The game really nailed the future-noir blade runner aesthetics and actually featured decent gameplay. Eye Divine Cyberfancy also has a great atmosphere, its a shame that it has crappy shooter gameplay.

Of course, plebbit had to upload a completely rigged and unfair comparison.

For "modern" Western-style games, see Mass Erect 1-3+Andromeda for a "different character". Same with Dragon Age 2 and 3, the latter featuring the ugliest elves in existence. Or Disco Elysium, if you consider that a rpg, for a hipster cop Commie-friendly game with more walls of text than the average Obsidian title.

For atypical JRPG games, we have Shin Megami Tensei series such as Nocturne (granted, the MC IS mute, but he's not a swordsman), Radiant Historia's hyper-competent protagonist Stocke, or the entire trilogy of Shadow Hearts.

I never denied that modern WRPG's sucks.

The balance cult killed all variety and immersion from RPG's AND the consistency between lore and story, the accessibility cult killed all depth on RPG's and diversity cult killed the story telling. Now all we have is press A for awesome games that fells more like a boring work HOWEVER, this reddit user is comparing classics with classics. VtMB, Planescape Torment and kotor was classics. Just like FF7 and Chrono Trigger are considered classic JRPG's. And BTW, JRPG's tends to do awful protagonists with few exceptions, like Nocturne and Dirge of Cerberus BUT they do amazing villains.

And is not only with JRPg that it happens. Even on Anime, i love Hiatus X Hiatus, but don't like Gon. Black Clover, i dropped on 5 minutes of first episode due Asta. Sadly, according to what i read, a lot of villains and non protagonist "good guys" seems to have way better personality, backstory, and powers Black Clover with Yami as a protagonist or Vanessa would be a amazing anime. Just like Chrono Trigger playing since the beginning with Magus.
