Thread 715158387

Will this game fill the sci-fi RPG niche that's been empty for quite some time?

>>715158387 (OP)
>starfield condensed into one system
>characters that nu-bioware would praise
>development by people who have never had a working release
no, but owlcat having their icarus moment will be nice

There is no real sci fi niche. Sci fi is fake, jewish, and rootless, and everyone subconsiously knows it.

>>715158642
>>starfield condensed into one system
Unironically based, sci-fi/space based games should do this more often

>>715158387 (OP)
Looks interesting, I might even pl..
>developed by Owlcat
lmao no thanks, maybe in 5-6 years when they patch up the base game

>>715158387 (OP)
No, but the next larian game which is rumoured to be sci-fi might.

>>715159116
Owlcat > Larian (objectively speaking)

>>715158642
Exactly. Owlcat's ambition is impressive but they keep biting off more than they can chew. It's like they're allergic to QA. I want them to succeed, but watching them swing way above their weight with a janky space Pathfinder is gonna be peak entertainment.

>>715159163
Lol no

Cope and seethe, faggot

It's a disaster in the making

>>715159273
That's what you are doing and it's pathetic. Maybe you should prebuff youself next time.

>>715158387 (OP)
Please tell me there’s no romance in this.

>>715158387 (OP)
>spend all that money and effort making a sci fi game
>pick the most boring setting imaginable
Only Starfield is worse

>>715158387 (OP)
Mass Effect is not an RPG, and since this is basically Mass Effect 4, no, it will not fill the sci-fi RPG niche. Also way to out yourself as a newfag, Colony Ship was like a year ago. In fact, aren't the Colony Ship devs making another sci fi crpg? There's also the rumoured Larian game mentioned earlier, though we don't know if its sci fi or if its even an rpg.

>>715159434

>>715159641
Why would you aggressively market stuff on /v/?
This place doesn't have the influence that it used to have. Surely it would be better to shill on reddit or something?

>>715159641
>marketing on /v/
What's the point?

>>715160346
>>715160428
4chan was listed in their annual survey, they lurk here

>>715160346
Owlcat is a third world developer stuck in the past. Just look at this cover >>715158387 (OP) its like corporate hollywood circa 2008
so clearly, they think /v/ is actually a relevant website still. fuck they were sucking off RPGcodex in 2017

>>715160475
>Just look at this cover
And? It looks like every 2nd AAA cover.

>>715158387 (OP)
A certain part of me hopes it flops and Owlcats will return to shitting out the janky yet soulful CRPGs.

>>715161190
Owlcat is still going to keep making CRPGs (not Pathfinder)

>>715161637
>(not Pathfinder)
BASED. Hopefully they do Warhammer fantasy next.

>>715158387 (OP)
Neither this nor Exodus will be the spiritual successor to Mass Effect but I will pirate both and I expect them to be decent games.

>>715160036
Post it

>>715158387 (OP)
Doubt it, unlike larian games which have stellar first part, owlcat are a mess from the start on release. You gotta deliver that first act bug free if you want to attract the kind of crowd they're going for.

>Mass Effect 1 was 18 years ago
>I was 18 when I first played it
I... don't feel so good

>>715160036
I don't know if I remember that from the books.

>>715161637
Sad, I liked Pathfinder, then again my only exposure to Pathfinder was from their games, but I would have loved to see more of this world.

>>715163305
I think theres a pathfinder arpg or something coming out soon, amiri is in it. Theres also that shitty looking rpg thats in kickstarter.
Its not much, but its something

>>715163305
Curious what you liked about it. It was just a really bland, uninspired version of an already bland setting (Forgotten Realms)

>>715163305
I really enjoyed Kingmaker right up until you kill the Elk Lord and you have to do the kingmaking part. Which to be fair, I should have expected.

>>715161637
>>715163305
they can't do pathfinder any more, at least not in the way they used to. even if they did switch to 2e, (almost) all the 2e adventure paths only go up to like level 12, and removing mythic progression + lowering the level cap + moving to 2e would just be too big a blow for everyone, better just to move on to a different fantasy setting/system

>>715159641
>Are Owlcat aggressively marketing on /v/?
Yes, absolutely. And anyone telling you "no" or questioning why they would market on /v/ is basically confirming themselves as shills.
(They're not the only ones.)

>>715163457
I think I'm more of a Owlcat fan than a Pathfinder fan, but still I liked both the Pathfinder games. The world and setting just spoke to my sensibilities. I went into Kingmaker knowing nothing of Pathfinder and really enjoyed my time with it.

>>715163682
>(almost) all the 2e adventure paths only go up to like level 12
Neither Kingmaker nor WotR went up to level 20
They're not making more Pathfinder because they don't want to

>>715158802
>>715163056
I'm willing to give them a benefit of the doubt for this one. I think they're perfectly aware that half-assed jank is unacceptable in this case and they will at the very least try to do their best to deliver a more or less finished product on launch.

>>715163757
>Neither Kingmaker nor WotR went up to level 20
wow...they went up to level 18 with 6 adventures. surely that's the exact same thing as an AP only having 3 adventures and only going up to level 10

>>715163765
I imagine it will be a lot less mechanically complex, so maybe that will allow to focus more on quality.

>>715159641
I'm pretty sure this place is covered by the "social media marketing" department.

>>715161821
I am shocked beyond belief WFRP hasn't been adapted in ANY way yet.

>>715164137
Games Workshop must be branching out. Before Rogue Trader, every=game was a shooter or RTS. Hopefully Rogue Trader has given them the idea that they can diversify the games

>>715164137
Honest I'd take a Dungeon Meshi CRPG.
Tallmen
Male
Warrior

>>715164137
maybe because autism simulator games without the social element just aren't very fun
Also GW would only license TOW games now so enjoy your female bret knights and african Empire.

>>715164468
As long as I can fuck Cithis

>>715164468
I want a Madoka Magica crpg

>>715164137
Fantasy itself was poorly managed for so long that they accidentally revitalized the setting just after killing the game for it. I would love to see Owlcat take a go at making the enemy within though knowing GW they'll want to use the Old World setting.

>>715158387 (OP)
Starfield is absolute kino and I'm open to more sci-fi RPGs.

>>715164494
>maybe because autism simulator games without the social element just aren't very fun
Yeah. That's why we have the CRPG genre. You double mongoloid.

>Owlcat has been releasing nonstop patches to fix bugs after RT's latest DLC released
>also made a patch adding more content to the DLC
>and that patch needed another patch to fix a major bug that made the dog companion useless
This game and Dark Heresy are going to be such a fucking buggy mess, normalfags will tear them apart. Owlcat is genuinely incompetent, they'll never get better, just like Bethesda

>2 good looking white people front and center
how is this allowed?

>>715164646
And why did the genre die when devs figured out how to make the games actually fun? gee I wonder.
nu CRPGS are just nostalgiabait and for autistic russian minmaxers.

>>715164468

Why are they called tall-men? Where are the short and regular-sized-men?

>>715159641
no we are not

https://store.steampowered.com/app/887570/NEBULOUS_Fleet_Command/
the real expanse game already released and its amazing

>>715164713
I'd say the entire cast (yes, even the she-negro) is fairly attractive. Unbelievable in this day and age.

>>715164750
Because outside Oni most of the other races are comparatively short in stature.

>>715164730
CRPGs "died" because the publishers decided they would allocate manpower to projects that would get them better returns. That player base never went anywhere as evident by the Kickstarter revival. No one said they were all meant to appeal to everyone or be 10/10 games. You TRIPLE mongoloid.

>>715164828
>Elves are shorter than Men
travesty

>>715164838
You're an autistic russian, your opinion is literally worth nothing. Now begone.

>>715164894
Always were in D&D, for example.

>>715164713
more like literally the entire cast is gigachad or top model tier which is unheard of in this day and age

>>715164774
Can you help me fix my corrupted WotR saves?

>>715165167
Even Jesus can't help if your save files get corrupted in Pathfinder. Try autosave.

>>715165167
Download Arcemi and try fucking around in it, maybe you can salvage it

I started playing RT and I kind expected it to have more open ended exploration and NPC interactions, are all Owlcat games like this?
I thought they were more like classic BG?

>>715165818
>I kind expected it to have more open ended exploration and NPC interactions
Wait for Chapter 2

>>715164791
Im gonna be real with you anon, that looks like shit.

>>715165818
Yes they're all like that

>>715165013
D&D was wrong. Tolkien's elves are better.

>>715158387 (OP)
>owlcat
you will be fighting lvl 100 space pirates for making a wrong turn and realize the whole game is like that

>>715166113
To be fair, Tolkien's men were also super tall, even taller than the Elves sometimes, especially the Numenoreans.

>>715158387 (OP)
I hope they at least hire a decent composer for this one. AA studios settling down for the blandest shit imaginable is unforgivable.

Man the TV show was so fucking frustrating. Only generally likable character was Amos, and even he had to get some shitty sappy backstory that sucked ass. Every season rushed to wrap up plot points. Holden was a cunt, Naomi was a cunt.
Even in the "settlers vs corporation" storyline where the settlers were objectively in the fucking wrong they still go against the corporation because grr capitalism I guess. Fucking awful show.

>>715164828
I prefer there to be an even distribution of heights with humans occupying the middle of the road.

>>715167007
The books are better by miles.

>>715165864
>>715166086
why can't /v/ give a straight answer?

>>715158387 (OP)
Well if this is Owlcat's next thing how do I get into the expanse? Should I read the novels or watch the TV series? Getting into Pathfinder and 40k was a ton of work, kinda annoying how they keep changing settings and I have to do research each time if I don't want to feel lost. Can't they just do a game in a setting I'm already familiar with?

>>715158387 (OP)

GG lol

>>715168237
The books are a consistently decent space opera that has occasionally great moments but subscribes to the "in the future we'll all be kind of brown and a little gay" idea of post earth humans.

Show sucks. They cast the safe horny "Polynesian dancer but scaled up" woman ad a doughy blob and made a bunch of more important baffling story changes.

>>715168213
What? RT does open up in Act 2
All the areas you see here and more can be explored at will once Act 2 starts
And in Act 1 you can still choose the order of areas you have including going into Rykard Minoris as early as possible which isn't recommended
Act 3 is linear however and not many new areas open up in Act 4
Wrath and Kingmaker also have a lot of areas opening up in Act 2, especially Wrath

>>715158802
This, they can barely cobble together a turn based RPG with standard production values. How are they gonna handle something this ambitious?

>>715168820
>especially Wrath
you mean the game with the act 2 that's essentially a straight line?
it gets really open in act 3

>>715168932
Yeah I meant that Chapter
Kangmaker once has a meaty map, areas are locked behind Chapters but you usually have some to explore every Chapter

>>715168918
Mechanically Pathfinder/RT were incredibly ambitious games, full party RPGs with tons of classes and build possibilities, but much of that ambition was under the hood. This is just going to be a third person shooter with mild RPG elements, that shit is easy mode by comparison.

>>715168213
what Owlcat does is give you a world map with plenty of small locations you can visit, but the actual exploration is absolutely nothing compared to Baldur's Gate, and so are the NPCs, quite literally 99% of them are just background npcs that don't talk

>>715168237
watch the first 3 seasons, pretend it ends there.

>>715169582
>no bull

Gay and retarded.

I'd lowda her belta if you know what I mean

>>715169159

It's literally just endless +1s to whatever roll or weapon bro
The class system is so gay and pointless it might as well not exist

Lol what? This is the first thread in weeks

I never heard of the Expanse until Owlcat announced they were gaming a make of this literal who IP only redditors and boomers care about. Looking into it, it seems like watered down sci-fi with nothing of the thing that makes sci-fi interesting.
I hope it flops hard and the Dark Heresy game also. So they can go back to making good games like Pathfinder 3.

>>715188978
Exactly, that alone will be enough for The Expanse to be more popular, the show being more well known among normalfags than 40k helps too

Why do modern games have such non-descriptive, hard to remember, awful names? Like they strung random words together when deciding the name for their game
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Unknown 9: Awakening
Directive 8020
Cronos: The New Dawn
Marathon
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn

These names say absolutely nothing about the games

Original but they said some characters from the show/book would appear

>>715198920
Well I don't know if I'm gonna watch the show just to understand a cameo

>>715158642
Starfield condensed into one system is exactly what should have happened. It should have been 6-8 handcrafted planets that encouraged organic exploration (probably the strongest aspect of the Bethesda gameplay loop), instead of 1000 planets where 99.9% of them only have proc genned POIs with no interesting characters or quests.

>>715198981
I player their previous games while knowing next to nothing about the settings, I intend to do the same thing here

There better be a Maneo cameo.

>>715158387 (OP)
no turn based no buy

Can you even pick the background for MC? I don't see how they would work around gravity problems if you picked a non-Earther. Belters can't do shit on planets, how would that work

>>715200395
Yes you can be Earther, Martian, or Belter

>>715200481
I guess the entire game is set in space then, because if Martian marines struggle on Earth I don't think they can asspull a powerup strong enough for a Belter to walk around comfortably

>>715200768
I'd guess so, going to space stations and boarding ships.

>>715192943
IIRC Osiris is the name of your ship which also appears in the show
