What's /v/ opinion on first person dungeon crawlers?
>>
that's actually a p broad category; it could cover everything from wizardry to skyrim
>>
>>323748850
Personally, if it's not grid based I don't consider it a dungeon crawler. But you're right, I've seen people on /v/ calling Rune Factory a dungeon crawler.
>>
They're addicting, challenging and pure fun, that's all that I can really say.
>>
That's a fucking excuse to not do 3D models for the MCs. Into le trash it goes.
>>
i'm too casual for them
>>
>>323749547
There are some with models in battles though, like Persona Q and Mind =/= 0.
I guess everyone should stick to games without models.
>>
>>323748082
It doesnt matter how good the graphic is because I always stare at the map in these kind of games
>>
Etrian Odyssey is good but I don't play any others.
>>
>>323748850
Skyrim has a 3rd-person view, but I suppose you can play the entire game in first person perspective and pretend you're just playing a shitty modern version of Wizardry
>>
>>323748082
They're lazily made games.

But I'm not particularly good at them.

I can't play it without a tv.
It also kinda sucks that the Vita bonus screen is just the PSP version bonus emulated, instead of its own thing, preferably utilizing touch and the second stick.

I find first person dungeon crawlers to be cool as hell.

They are insanely immersive to me. Really need to finish EOIV.

Most these days other that Etrian Odyssey are complete shit. Team Danganronpa should make one, it's the natural next step in genre blending after Another Episode.

I just hate when dungeon crawlers look like this garbage >>323752963

They're basically a gathering place for hack artists for the most part. Visual novels are the same way, you get gems like Hotel Dusk and then suddenly the next 100 VNs you see have art that looks like a 13-year-old with a dA account drew it.

I hope we get news of EOV soon.

It's the female portraits though.

You mean games like Legend of Grimlock? Never played them personally. They seem kind of pointless now with full 3D motion available in open-world crawlers such as Skyrim.

I have nothing against all the people around here who like games like that but the "low-budget anime" look completely ruins the experience for me. And the way they're slapped together always makes me feel like I'm playing a kind of mediocre RPG Maker game.

>>323755440
>We don't want to offend the longtime fans of the series, but we honestly can't understand why anybody would want to play an archaic RPG like Wizardry when there are fantastic games like Skyrim around. Being nostalgic is one thing, being ignorant another.

I don't think its as bad as all that. Not going to lie though, I do with more of the random mobs in DT2 had more detail like the Gods in the post game. Most of them look rad as fuck by comparison.

I really like the Etrian Odyssey series because EO1 was my first dungeon crawler and I got hooked. I started Dungeon Travelers 2 and I have some complaints, but I'm still going to play it. I have Wizardry 6, 7, and 8. I guess I like dungeon crawlers.

Does 3DS have any DRPG's other than EO? Kind of jealous of all the Vita games

Reminder that if your dungeon crawler doesn't have pitfalls, it's shit.

One of my favorite genres. Enjoy EO and glad it's continuing to exist. Played Demon Gaze on the Vita and now playing Moe Chronicle (and waiting for the English sub for Moe Crystal), looking at getting DT2 in the future as well as Stranger of Sword City and Rey Gigant (that someone in a handheld thread recommended).
>>
>>323757614
The battle system is divisive and the final boss is bullshit but it's one of the best games in the franchise. They should have gone full EO and include map drawing, when you reach a certain infamous sector you really miss it.
>>
>>323756482
BB2 translation never.

>>323752861
if it's saying what I think it is, programs can actually coerce the PC-Speaker to play actual sampled audio instead of just beeps, I remember a lot of old games and shit advertising "digitized sound" meaning voice samples and shit

it's somewhat CPU intensive though (for the time, and the CPU spent most of its time fiddling with the speaker registers constantly) and a bit tricky to implement, since it's not entirely straightforward
one DOS program I can think of off the top of my head that supports that is Fast Tracker II (it has a somewhat quiet high quality mode and a 1-bit loud as fuck PWM mode)

it is a good thing if done properly, if not ideal
>>
>>323748082
The only good thing about Strange Journey is the Demonica design

They're OK. Better if positioning is part of combat, with at least front/back rows, or ideally switching to turn-based top-down or iso grid.

I don't get what >>323754420 is talking about because >>323752963 looks like fap game and those don't matter one bit to the genre or videogames in general. At least talk about something and compare where I don't get my dick out and wipe all across the keyboard for a quick fap while beating the dungeon boss at the same time.
>>
>>323760992
DT2 is a pretty solid dungeon crawler, behind the obvious pandering.

If you want to discuss something that is basically just for the sake of fapping, then Moe Chronicle is the game you're looking for. You strip down 'monster girls' (who look like nothing more than your typical anime girls in bad cosplay) by attacking articles of clothing, then use the touch pad (sometimes both) to rub various weak points on their body to get them to join your party. It's got some nice mechanics, but the story is bland and the locations are pretty generic. I enjoy it, but I'm obviously weeaboo enough to play it.
