Shitty hipster list.
>>332359368
Oh yes, that amazing walking simulator. Unforgettable.
>>332359479
I seen many shit-posts about New Vegas, but this is the first time I've seen someone call it a walking simulator.
>no Divinity
Fuck your list OP, literally shit.
>>332359751
Should have been called Genericy.
Good list. Haven't played undertail or serpent yet but those other games are solid. Didn't like expeditions as much as age of decadence or divinity OS but it was still really cool.
Pillars of eternity and the shadowrun games can go right in the trash to be honest.
crpgs are literally the worst of any and all video game genres, so yes, quite possibly.
>>332360659
>literally the worst of any and all video game genres
- /v/ on every genre of video games.
>>332360382
Dragonfall and Hong Kong were great though
>>332360028
You hate fun. The combat was great. The writing and world were good enough to keep me playing.
>no dark souls
>>332361614
No it wasn't even for wRPG standards.
>>332361114
No. I want my loot after I kill some thing. What Bunnybrains did was a lazy fucking game design.
Dark Souls is the decade's best Japanese WRPG.
>>332362536
Is that really your biggest complaint about the game?
>>332362536
never played shadowrun, but interested because of the setting
what do you mean?
>>332362735
>Is that really your biggest complaint about the game?
Yes. If it was so closely following rules of 5th Edition, why not fucking do at least that? Lootable fucking corpses?
>>332362762
Lazy devs decided that 'making a looting system would be to expensive, so we will use the money elsewhere'. Like fucking cocaine and hookers. Which isn't too bad, but hookers need to be really in to anal.
>>332362762
You just can't loot most enemies when they die. The ones you can loot usually give quest rewards or special weapons. I don't really find it a huge issue as there's plenty to loot in the environment and your companions never really need new gear.

>>332360028
you are some meta shitthat's not a compliment you autist
>>332363265
No crafting, I don't know what you mean by vendor variety, but there are a decent amount of vendors that either sell drugs, medicine/cyberware, guns/swords (Hong Kong has a dedicated melee vendor), spells, and tech.
Companions usually get new shit over the course of their upgrades or storylines. It's a fairly linear CRPG, but not bad at all.
>>332363078
>>332363229
Still don't see the issue with this really, it's just extra loot that would have made a somewhat easy game even easier.
>>332363601
>Still don't see the issue with this really, it's just extra loot that would have made a somewhat easy game even easier.
That's cool. I have an issue with it. Hence, I am complaining.
>>332363778
That's good for you, I never said you shouldn't complain about it. I just don't get why extra loot would stop you from enjoying a game with a good story and fun missions.
>>332363601
>but there are a decent amount of vendors that either sell drugs, medicine/cyberware, guns/swords (Hong Kong has a dedicated melee vendor), spells, and tech.
thats what I was looking for thanks

When, for example, I say that I will make a certain game, based on a certain tabletop system, and then leave out a portion of it, for no apparent reason, I would be considered a liar, no?
And this is what fucks it up for me. Not what I wanted, not what they said they will deliver. It is not as bad as Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Killyourself, but still.
>>332359203
Is this the hipster list?
>>332359368
Now who's the hipster ?
God damn, OP is fucking hardcore. He pwns all pleb cucks on this boards and their weak shit like Fluffoput and Divinity: Original SJW Devs.
>>332364108
>When, for example, I say that I will make a certain game, based on a certain tabletop system, and then leave out a portion of it, for no apparent reason, I would be considered a liar, no?
Not really if the games are still true to the system aside from the looting. "Based on" doesn't necessarily mean "exactly like".
That being said, I'm unfamiliar with Shadowrun and it's rules/systems to so there might be some other portions of that system that were left out. But if there aren't any other and the games stay mostly true to the source material I don't see the issue really.
>>332364491
Okay. But I don't like it for the mentioned reason. What do you want me to do? Like it because you said that you don't see an issue with it?
>>332363351
>not inhaling weaker poison to gain immunity to stronger poison
Filter babbies
>>332364805
I'm not saying that at all though, I'm just saying that not being unable to look past not being able to loot bodies and judging the games poorly based on just that is silly as looting is such a small part of the games.
>>332359203
BETTER LIST
1. Expeditions, if you haven't played this you're a retard.
2. New Vegas, BOO HOO WALKING SIM, shove a carrot up your ass hipster.
3. Underrail, damn niggah this shit is lit bruh
4. Age of Decadence, fix your broken combat
5. Divinity Original Sin, Again, play this game.
>>332365502
I can play other games. I don't feel I am missing out on something.

I found expeditions boring. And before you say I didn't give it a chance, I put about 10 hours into it. Story-wise, it was decent enough and the setting alone was what made me get it, but it didn't seem like there was a lot of depth to the character building or customization.
>>332359203

I tried the game but got stuck on what I assume to be the final battle on the first island. I don't know if I chose a shit party or what.

Sounds like you mean you haven't played them.
Superior RPG list coming through.
>>332366560
>Sounds like you mean you haven't played them.
So, now I have to prove that I played them, but didn't like them and not that I never even touched the games? Maybe you should just trust people a little more?
Also, for what it is worth, English isn't my native tongue, so some of the structure in the sentence might be odd.
>>332366689
Weeaboo list more like.
>>332366520
Actually OP, just struck me. You played the stealth game from the Conquistador dudes? Haven't tried it myself, was curious to hear from someone who had.
>>332366429
Setting is unique and writing's good. Art design is somewhat lacking especially when character models are concerned but it's still the best wRPG even in that regard (quality wise).
>>332366689
who the fuck thinks zelda and JRPGs are a part of the same genre?
>>332366749
>So, now I have to prove that I played them, but didn't like them and not that I never even touched the games? Maybe you should just trust people a little more?
Hot damn, chill on the defense mode son. I'm not asking for a receipt, screenshot of your Steam game, and hours played. I just got confused by your wording.

>>332367058
Yup, same. I sorta wish they went for a different setting since conquistadors is relatively unique for an RPG, while URG ME VIKING isn't, but whatever. Should fit that style of RPG really well anyway.
>>332366151
Like if theres any merit to that
Its still a worse game than Deus Ex Invisible war, for example.
>>332366151
Err... no. New Vegas was far worse than 3. Why do you think Bethesda doesn't even mention it anymore?

>>332367675

>>332367726
>>witcher series
absolutely fantastic games and RPGs but literally some of the worst loot and gear systems of all time. Especially Witcher 3 and its retarded unorganized leveled loot
>>332367726
exanima is a nice technology showcase worth giving 15 minutes to
EYE tries a lot and fails at everything but tries
Gothic 1 and 2 are good
Gorky is allright
geneforge is exhaustive, have no idea about the writing
bg 1 and 2 are great if you like classicest of rpg settings
rest are plague
>>332367726
If you don't give a shit about story and want challenging gameplay, I'd say probably go for the BG games but avoid reading powergamey hints on overpowered character builds. Fairly story-lite but with reasonable banter to fill in the cracks, and some really solid party management/character building/looting/dungeon running.
Dragon Age Origins and Pillars of Eternity are both similar but worse to the BG games.
>>332359203
Stop trying to be hip, you piece of shit.
All of these games are a scam, pure shit.
>>332367163
Uhhh Underrail sounds decent I guess. I've heard good things about Inquisitor too, but also haven't played that. Wasteland 2 is mediocre, but a good time killer. Just got Arcanum and that isn't bad so far. You can also playCyberpunk in 2077. Barely put a foot in Legend of Grimrock 2, but it's fun.

>>332368239
Inquisitor has a really awkward combat and some weird design choices. Great story and atmosphere but a really bad combat.
if you don't like underrail you have SHIT TASTE.
>>332368574
It's made by drunken Czechs in their mom's basement so I didn't really expect anything mechanically outstanding, just a decent story and some purifying the land of HERETICS.

>>332367726
Kick kingdoms of amalur (it's an offline MMO that lacks any of the character and charm that MMOs usually generate) off that list, and only play the first borderlands (the looting and shooting are objectively worse in the second game, though I haven't played the pre-sequel so I can't say on that one). I would say not to play undertale because I thought it was pretty poor, but it's short and very polarizing so it's worth a try at the very least. Also add underail, It's the true successor to fallout 2.
>>332369778
>underail, It's the true successor to fallout 2.
I want this meme to end.
>>332367850
I tried playing original sin coop with my sister, but our busy schedules and killed that.
It also made us very inefficient and it took way to long to get things done.
>>332367975
I'm doing a thread that's me bitching about burnout in single player games. Witcher games fell victim to this. I quit after the dragon fight in witcher 2 because my character was too poorly optimized to beat it. I beak dark souls bit I couldn't finish act 3. I got 18 hours into witcher 3, but I can't anymore there's too much to do and I want to do it all, but I get exhausted just thinking about it.
>>332367981
I've played every single spiderweb software demo. With the exception of avernum 4-6, and the Avadon games, I really enjoyed all of them. The writing is good, the choices matter, the loot is good, the character builds are good. The post apocalyptic setting of 1 is particularly awesome. But it's 5 games, all many hours long. It's intimidating.
>>332368047
I have bg1ee on my phone. It's exhausting to play, but I add a few minutes every time I go to drill. Weirdly, bg2 on my computer is even worse. I got through the dungeon, ended up in the city, and i straight up got lost and quit.
>>332369778
I tried and failed to finish 2. I actually hear lots of good things about ore sequel. Ignoring the fact claptrap is a playable character, that also means he has way less lines than bl2 aparantly. The classes are far more fun, and laser/ice weapons are way better than slag.
My best friend loved undertale. He's an anon too, but he says the little surprising and ways it plays on your expectations is satisfying. I just have this weird thing were its not recognizing when I press keys on my keyboard and the last to times I tried to start it it crashed.
>>332369892
kill urself my man
Will there ever be a good non-isometric RPG?
>>332371798
Burnout guy here. Up until, the last 5 minutes, mass effect trilogy were my favorite games off all time. The destination was shit but the journey was really something. But now I can't really enjoy single player games anymore because of how crushingly bad the ending was.
Neverwinter nights 2, mask of the betrayer. It's still an isometric, but with 3d models and you can change the camera to be more like the KotOR camera.
Kotor, 1&2, for very different reasons.
System shock 2 has some rpg elements, and a good story.
Dark souls is an action RPG, but there's a story, more, characters, XP, loot, vendors, and builds.
Lots of people like fallout new Vegas.
>>332372431
NWN1 is better desu. Both have shitty OCs.
>>332373310
Bruh, we could have a 400 reply thread on that topic. But I will agree, the OC sucked. The redeeming part of nwn2 oc wasrunning crossroad keepeven if it was super simple, it was very fun and I hadn't seen anything like that before.

You're the reason big cities aren't a thing in RPGs anymore. And for that, I hate you.
>>332372431
>Up until, the last 5 minutes, mass effect trilogy were my favorite games of all time.
Holy shit, how could you not see the writing on the wall, I noticed the drop in writing quality in 2 and then when I started to play 3 the whole ship just fell apart. I mean the whole crucible macguffin being found on mars (a backwater planet due to everything here being researched to hell and back, BUT WAIT WE MISSED LITERALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE UNIVERSE) the fact that reapers now want earth for some reason and not the citadel, oh also the fact that the citadel isn't even a target for reapers. It's like hey there's the central hub for the entire alliances communication and strategy sectors, but we'll just ignore that. The races and their tensions are completely glossed over, nothing you did in previous games had any real effect on what happened (either in the outcome or during the actual game). Shit, I could go on for ages but I'm sure you get my point.
>>332375630
Hindsight is 20/20
The salarian/krogan racial tension was there.
Mass effect 3 was sloppy, even before the end. But that ending was spectacularly bad. If you've ever seen Mr.Btounge, he laid down what happened pretty good.
>>332376253
>Hindsight is 20/20
Except I said:
>I noticed the drop in writing quality in 2
Which is foresight, not hindsight.
>If you've ever seen Mr.Btounge, he laid down what happened pretty good.
I was there, I played the game. I was in denial about how shit things were until the end, I was hoping it would redeem the titles shortcomings. But it didn't, it was just more of the same schlock. The only redeeming feature is that they added some semblance of customization to the guns and the multiplayer, which is fucking sad.
>The salarian/krogan racial tension was there
Why was it there? Did the krogans somehow find out about the special black ops team that was working for the taurians? When did this happen? how did this happen?
Honestly that just tears open five more avenues of plot holes.
>>332377159
>tfw preorder Mass Effect 3 CE and endings leaked
>tfw couldn't resist urge to listen to end dialogue
I don't think I've ever felt more sad and confused about a series I liked. Sure Mass Effect 2 was shit filler, but ME3 was supposed to give a satisfying end. At the very least it was supposed to deliver an acceptable end. Nope. That killed preorders mostly for me.
>>332377159
Well I didn't notice. I just followed along right up until the end. Right up until I entered the citadel and shit went sideways. Only after watching all that shit did I go back and wonderwhy the fuck were they building the human reaper in 2how the fuck did the entirety of Cerberus, which in 2 we were told were splintered cells, become indoctrinated
So I read posts and watch YouTube videos.
And I got really sad. I invested myself into those games. And like I said, up until the last 5 minutes I was satisfied. But looking back, I could see all the crap, and how the shitty writing started in mass effect 2. I just didn't notice.
>>332378117
I preordered battlefront 3. You don't know the depths of disappointed
>>332378228
ME3 was far higher on the disappointment scale. I mean it actually looked like it might be an ok game (at this point in time the only black mark on biowares name was DA2 and no one from that was meant to be working on ME3), not to mention it was the (anti-)climactic end of a series that lasted over 7 years. Battlefront reboot was obviously gonna be shit from the get go. Sure it's a shame that it came out so shit, especially considering free radical pretty much finished the real battlefront 3 but you really only have yourself to blame.
>>332359203
Conquistador is great but the rest of these games for the most part while good, feel like soulless and hollow imitations of 90's wrpgs.
How is serpent in the staglands? I was following it for a while but it's release passed by me and I have heard nothing about it since.
