First game?

>>712822547 (OP)
You just described nearly every single video game ever made.

>except lets go back and explore random uselss dungeons
Why did you do it though?

>>712822547 (OP)
I beat the game and I still don't know who Claire is

>>712822547 (OP)
Aren't all adventure/RPG's like this though?

>>712823243
For the lulz

>>712822547 (OP)
Don't blame them. Blame the autists who have a meltdown any time a game requires a bit of time management (e.g. Fallout 1)

>>712822882
this

>>712822547 (OP)
Name 5 games that don't allow you to do this and are not extremely linear like Half-Life and such

>>712824379
Yes

Atelier Sophie
Atelier Meruru
Atelier Rorona
Atelier Totori
Atelier Ayesha

A. at no point does the party decide that they should go do side content. It is entirely a player driven decision to deviate from the story path and explore outside of where the next objective is.
B. Is this your first RPG? They all have side content that frequently conflicts with a time sensitive primary objective.
C. They have a year so while defeating the Paintress is their goal, they have time to explore beyond the next stated objective and part of the point of the expeditions is to learn about the world beyond Lumiere as they may find information that proves helpful to the next expedition, should they fail.

Any Resident Evil game

you absolute smoothbrain. They *literally have one year left to live* — that’s not a gameplay gimmick, that’s the actual plot. You think they’re gonna sprint straight into the strongest enemy in the entire setting on week one with no prep, no upgrades, no plan, just because your attention span can’t handle anything more complex than a hallway shooter?

>>712822547 (OP)
dungeons are where they train, grow stronger, and actually earn the *means* to survive and maybe have a shot at changing their fate. Calling them useless just proves you didn’t play the game, didn’t read shit, and are here flailing for (you)s.

Go back to your mobile gacha trash and leave RPGs to people with frontal lobes.

I just fought the Paintress last night and started Act 3, how much more do I have?

>>712825982
if you ignore side content, hour and a half max

>quickly, we need to get to the surface of the world!
>and if we don't, you'll just fucking die!
Based. Time limits in RPGs should be imposed more often and given actual weight instead of merely existing as token timers.

>>712825982
Act 3 is essentially post-game. The story quest is about an hour long and it's best to finish it before you overlevel yourself.

>>712826308
the time limit in that game is only there to make you use the SOL system

>>712826215
>>712826489
Thanks, that's good to know.

Basically every game ever

>>712825982
Do all camp stuff now, talk to the party members repeatedly

>>712828854
Do the optional content and just use the new difficulty multipliers before the final boss

This is Claire's game and she doesn't even appear. Hopefully she's in RE9
