Darc_Requiem Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I thought we had one of these threads already. Anyone a RPG fan here besides me? What are some of your favorites? Any upcoming RPGs you looking forward too? Here are couple of games that are coming out soon that I'll be picking up. Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna The Golden Country - Leave it to Nintendo to do the equivalent of a 90s PC Expansion pack for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I really enjoyed...still in enjoy the base game. They keep adding content to it. The DLC actually covers the ancient lore you hear about in the main game. Valkyria Chronicles 4: I've played the demo on all three consoles. Still torn on whether to get the Switch or PS4 version. I was a big fan of the first game. I bought it 3 times. PS3, PC, and PS4. I would have skipped the PS4 version if I knew the Switch version was coming next month. VC4 seems to have all the charm of the original. Since it takes place concurrently with the first game, I wonder if we'll have any cameos of that games cast. MillionX 1 Quote
MillionX Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 sheeeeeit, y'know it's always action-RPGs for me... or games that are basically "Action...with RPG elements" all day.. 773 or so hours on just the xbox 1 version of Diablo 3, and I'm actually looking forward to buying it yet again on Switch. Other than that, there's the game that finally brought all my vampire fantasies to proper game-form... Vampyr. There's still so many other variants of how I want to play on that... currently going more deceptive, calculated evil version of Dr. Reid on my 2nd run of it..(everyone in the Whitechapel area is dead or missing at this point) next up will be pure "ripper" style where I just consume everyone first chance I get.... it's such a great thing, because for years Skyrim was the only other modern game that allowed me to roleplay a vampire in the exact ways I always wanted. I was already disappointed by the choice to go first-person in Cyberpunk 2077, but the gameplay trailer they showed recently saved it for me...it's still looking awesome... I just worry that it might bit too ambitious for the current generation of consoles; I suspect that ends up being a game for the PS5/XB4 era...or at least it probably should be. Even though it's first-person, they have custom character in there which is always a plus for me...and the world looks interesting. Quote
misterBee Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Some RPGs I love in no particular order: - Final Fantasy VIII - Legend of Dragoon - Rogue Galaxy - Final Fantasy XII - Xenogears - Vagrant Story - Front Mission - All the Bethesda/Bioware stuff - Witcher 3 - Vampire: The Masquerade PS1 era RPGs are my favorites!

MillionX Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 y'know, one thing I always found oddly lazy about some rpg fans... whenever a new port or version is announced, some folks are wishing and hoping you can transfer the save....even for other system/ports, which sounds kind of ridiculous to me. I was surprised when it actually happened for the console Diablo 3...but even that was only within each system "family" if I recall... I don't think you could've gone from PS3->> XB1 with the file import... it's been a while so maybe I'm wrong, but you could definitely import your 360 save/characters over to the XB1 version. Now with the upcoming Switch version, there's some who are still hoping for that shit....like from PC to Switch...that just seems like a longshot to me... it never bothered me much to start over completely on a new port of a game like that. I probably won't bother playing all character classes this time around... just my main deal of Wizard, Necro and Witchdoctor...and maybe some Monk. Crusader is just generally boring and sucks, imo. sidenote--- D3 also caters to vamp fans a little bit with the Necromancer, as there is a general blood/consumption theme going on with that character.

Darc_Requiem Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 @MillionX Don't remind me, one of my hard drives just died. Wiped out my Last Remnant saves that I've had for like a decade. I'd actually managed to 100% that game. Do you know how hard that is....hundreds of hours down the drain. I'll have to get around to doing at again at some point.... 😑 Quote

I played it on PC but the problems I had with the game had more to do with the game systems rather than any sort of technical issues. It just seemed terribly obtuse and I don't remember the story being all that interesting either. It's been a long time though -- maybe I'll revisit it some day. Quote

Unlikely, the game is getting delisted on digital soon. It's the reason I reinstalled it the other day. I went to install another game yesterday and noticed my D drive wasn't showing up. Quote
MillionX Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Shadow of War continues.... I found that you still get "boxes" but now it's through doing certain things, like completing the online vendetta missions...and I'm getting some really good stuff from those. I got a free legendary "training orders" thing so now I've upgraded one of my followers to Legend status--- "Bagga the Skull-Cracker".. a "cursed warmonger tank" orc...this dude is some serious shit now, man...one of his skills is actually a self-heal, and he's immune to ranged attacks if I recall....annnd he has a cursed weapon. One orc came back from the dead earlier... one I killed via poison; now he's "Zunn the Poisoned", and the visual is awesome...the guy's face is melted so he has this mutated slime creature kind of look. This was a rough fight, because now he could throw poison bombs with a huge radius. I still managed to defeat him though....and DEFINITELY recruited that one. Now he's assigned to bodyguard duty. I have 2 other orcs infiltrating the higher ranks of the fortress in the area now, working as spies. Bruhhhhhhh this game, man...there's so much cool shit going on in this. People are really missing out if they avoided this game because of the silly ass (overblown, imo) lootbox situation when it was released. *ohhhhh and now I have the "shadow strike" ability, with the upgrade that lets me hit others to in a "chain" of assassinations. This might be THE greatest stealth ability I've ever seen in a game, seriously. *edit--currently level 27. Edited September 3, 2018 by MillionX Quote
