Games The RPG thread

^I thought it was Sega who developed Valkyria Chronicles 3. ^^;

To answer your question, it's not a part of a series but the game I wanted the most is Grand Knights History. It was supposed to be published over here, but unfortunately, VanillaWare has to focus on saving its other game, Dragon's Crown, so they didn't provide any game development resources to XSeed. The thing that sucks is that XSeed has completed the translation too. ;_;

Yeah, your right Sega was responsible for that. Capcom was responsible for Breath of Fire; which is actually even worse(no new game for over a decade)

As Grand Knights History, damn. I didn't realize that had been cancelled. Seriously, someone give use RPG fans hope!

I never played FF7, am I missing something?

I feel exactly like G0dzax, I tried to play the game but I couldn't (seriously, those random encounters piss me off really bad). If you are into RPGs, you'll probably like it, if not... well, you can still have faith

Honestly, I want Camelot to make a Golden Sun for the Wii or WiiU. It's my favourite handheld gaming series, simply awesome. I love Final Fantasy, but they don't make it with the same depth as they used to. Part of FF's charm was getting every ultimate weapon/accessory and finding all the secrets, it just doesn't have that charm anymore.

"What currently releasing RPG's series does everybody look forward to most."

Well...tbh I lost hope in almost all the RPG series.The only series to whom I still look forward to is The Witcher...because the 2nd one was better than the first one definitely,and that's how games should normally evolve imo.I'd like to say I look forward to DA 3...but DA 2 totally killed all hope for me.There is this one thing still stuck in my mind,couldn't they have made more than 2 dungeons designs?Everyone dungeon I entered looked the freaking same way...The Gothic series(1 and 2 were brilliant RPG's)went down since the 3rd installment,Arcania : A Gothic Tale,I played solely for the fact that it's part of the series,'cause it really bored me.There is though another game I really look forward to : Star Wars 1313 ,check this video.I really hope it'll be like the old Knights Of The Old Republic,even though it seems to be an action game,it's got a classic RPG system...from the video for me it looked good enough to put my hopes in it.

Regarding Capcom,at the GamesCom 2012 they presented their newest game they are working on - Remember Me,a pretty interesting game(a combination of stealth+action+rpg),set in the future,where you are a young lady [lol] trying to regain her erased memories,memories who were erased by her former employees Memoreyes,a company specialized in altering memories.Seems like you've got memory hunter abilities in which you can modify your tagert's memories up to the point where the target can be pushed towards suicid.That's some pretty weird shit.

And another game they announced for quite a while,DmC : Devil May Cry (no really,that's the full name of the,including the DmC part,wonder how they got this original title from lol).It's still about Dante,just in a parallel reality where he is in a city(Limbo) under attack.The fans were divided into 2 groups : those claiming Capcom has killed the series and those who are on Capcom's side.Though,I did read something really funny,it seems that some fans even went as as far as threatening with death the creative director of the game - Tameem Antoniades.LOL now that's fans gone mad.

I know Remember Me and DmC aren't really RPG's,but then again,RPG can mean a different thing for each people.For example,for me an RPG is a game with a nice story,nice plot,leveling system and an open-ended world(well...at least a little bit) and interesting characters,that have some depth in them,and not just random NPC's.

Oh,just remember,Interplay revived Black Isle,so I hope that means we might get another Baldur's Gate or possibly Fallout game (just wishes though,they sold the Fallout license to Bethesda,who made Fallout 3,which is actually just Oblivion with guns imo).


Edit : Just remembered something THIS!.And it's also coming on the pc!

What kingdom would you choose btw? I would pick Union. ^^

IIRC, someone asked if they could put it on Steam and they said that they're considering it.

I don't know enough about it to really say for sure I just saw it on a list of potential psp releases a while back and thought it looked pretty cool.

From what I'm reading Kingdom of Knights probably... but I don't know.

It would be cool if they put it on steam but I don't know how well that would work for psp game. They really just need to change their mind about releasing it on psp. I mean, the English translation is already done they need to lock a couple of programmers in a closet somewhere and get that finished.

It especially hurts because I don't care, in the least, about it Dragon's Crown.

 

[benelori]

Dragon Age 3 is the choice for me...on the short term...I've read the books, watched the anime...and I'm replaying the games so I'm hyped...the books offer so much background to the games, it's unbelievable...

On the long run...Witcher I guess, Cyberpunk too...

Read the Witcher novel and sort story collection as well...it's just awesome

If the Ys series can be a success on steam then this will be no exception.

Probably you all know this, but anyways I'm posting this here :3


Looks so cool!

Bleh! Skyrim is so overrated imo

Nah man, the first 200 hours I played it were the best hours I spent in a game since a long time.

Well, I guess it's because I'm not a fan of Wester Rpg. Dragon Age Origins was the only one I loved and enjoyed. I've tried Witcher and Fable, but they never got me hooked like Origins.

Uchiha's ass is overrated

My first hundred hours were spent with The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind.I tried at the time to finish every quest out there,but I simply wasn't able to,the game is freakin' huge.


Still waiting since summer for a good RPG to show up.I wonder when the producers will throw us something good...most of 'em don't even make pure RPG's,most of the RPG's have become action-RPG's(best example is DA 2),where the role-playing system comes second after action...this way,the pure RPG by itself may even disappear lol.

True, as much I'm not a real fan of turn-based rpg they had its charm. Its like the "RPG" in it were more evident.
To me RPG is all about making you feel the storyline, like it was you that was living it, and not a mere pastime.
For a example, now years after I played Leg. of Dragoon I still remeber the characters and the storyline perfectly. And I still love to play it xD

Seeing all of these reviews for Persona 4 Golden is making me so excited

[riki]

[kakashi919]

They should make a WiiU version Then I'll get it

 

[Crude]

I'm thinking of buying Oblivion's 5th Anniversary Edition for the PC since I've been wanting to replay the game for a while now (and properly this time). Can anyone suggest the best mods, ones that make it a better game and add to the experience?
