Trigger the codex with a statement.

[FriendlyMerchant]

The Golden Age of CRPGs was 1987-1994.

It was also the golden age of jrpgs since wizardry and dragon quest were only blatantly copied a couple dozen times by japanese devs at that time.

I am trying to fit in the Codex by having the most consensual opinions, but it is so hard to follow which games I should consider monocled classics and which ones I should consider shit.

Don't be alarmed; the Codex is a friendly and inviting place that accepts everyone, as long as they loathe Baldur's Gate.

This is a thread to trigger the Codex, not get newbies killed...

Eh, six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I cannot even conceive of the notion that the Codex would be even remotely triggered if a newbie carks it...

Video games are works of art.

Only MMORPGs qualify though.

Remember all cool kids like Thief series here on Codex, especially two first games. Third one can still get a pass even though it was consolized and Thiaf 2k14 is giant pile of shit.

The JRPG forum should be merged with the GRPG forum.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

all DRPG('blobber') threads should be moved to the JRPG forum

 

[Dadd]

And then the JRPG forum should be moved to the GRPG forum

 

[0sacred]

JRPG forum should be merged with Prosperium to create something truly special

 

[Kruyurk]

We need a single all inclusive CJDTGRPG+ forum.

Ps5 is hardware wise held back by all the crap indie crpg bullshit and poor pc gamers that cant afford a decent gpu.
Devs have to develop their multiplaform games accordingly and cant utilize the full power of the great ps5 hardware.

I know one person who owns a ps5. Why should devs waste their time making something for like a dozen people?

Look at Gotham Knights and Plague Tale Requiem. 30fps already, and we're only two years into these consoles life cycle. The more memory and features you give to developers, the lazier they become. That's a fact.

All the greatest games we love are results of overcoming technical limitations, not any kind of freedom provided by hardware of the time. And when you look at all these new upscaling methods and nvidia's fake frame generation, you can bet your ass optimization of games will be replaced with "just turn on DLSS bro," and more 30fps console titles.

And also, if you remove "all the crap indie crpg bullshit" from the equation, you're left with shitty walking simulators and gormless open world games.

Fallout 3 is free on gog. You should get it.

EDIT: I mean Epic. Get it on Epic. It's a good deal.

 

[Dadd]

Heroes 3 looks and plays better than heroes 2.
The Golden Age of CRPGs was 1997-2004.
3d graphics > 2d graphics.

That's your real opinion then?

 

[Dramart]

The Golden Age of CRPGs was 1997-2009

Agree

I always have issues modding the non-gog versions of these games due to the drm interfering with the mod launcher

 

[KateMicucci]

Agree

The golden age of RPGs is now, now that a few RPG developers are figuring out how to make games with good combat rather than D&D cargo cult shit.

Name me two RPGs with good combat that isn't "D&D cargo cult shit."

Troubleshooter. Dungeon of Nahuelebek.

 

[Modron]

Isn't Naheulebek I can't believe it's not D&D TM territory?
