Playing this for the first time, what am I in for?

>>717592195 (OP)

Kino. When did RPG stopped looking like this btw?

>>717592195 (OP)
Single player MMO with a lot of grinding. Subpar combat that becomes trivial after a while because your character becomes OP.

Scamming the state of Rhode Island

>>717592289

Dark souls and Diablo did irreversible damage to the action RPG genre.

>>717592289
What a nauseatingly low FOV, pure console sloppa

>>717592195 (OP)
A game with lots of problems that still manages to be greater than the sum of its parts. It's not a game for everyone, but if it's meant for you, then it will easily become one of your favorite games of all time.

>>717592289
When Guild Wars 2 was criticized for not being Guild Wars. Since retards can't appreciate aesthetics and only care about LINE GO UP, -and- retards think washed-out colors means the game is more real (something you can still see plaguing ENB settings for Skyrim, and is part of the retard community's refusal to adapt to Community Shaders), it was inevitable that colors would be sacrificed so retards can feel "mature" while playing high fantasy action slop.

You can zoom out

one of the few games where playing a pure mage feels good to play

Pretty fun combat, ass MMO-tier timewaster fetch quests

>>717592979
>when the meteor hits just right

>>717592195 (OP)
The story is interesting but not developed enough
Basically every quest is like that

>>717592979
This 100%, mage in that game is peak magic, even the magic guild is cool. The best way to play it is just skip secondary quests not related to main shit, unless there is a guild involved or is a dlc, don't do it

>Get this
>Play rogue/assassin type
>Main attack is bugged and does no damage, literally
>They'll patch it right?
>Never do
>Remaster comes out
>Surely it's fixed now right?
>It's not
>They'll patch it THIS time, they've said they're going to patch stuff before they sell a DLC, they wouldn't be stupid enough to leave an entire weapon set basically useless, right?
>They are
>DLC releases
>Surely, SURELY it's fixed now?
>It's not
Fuck them and their scam cash grab

>>717594238
>The best way to play it is just skip secondary quests not related to main shit
Why?

>>717594787
What in the ass fuck are you talking about, gay retard?

>>717594829
If you do every side quest you'll hit max level well before the end zone and give yourself burnout.

>>717594961
>Shill cant counter-argue
>HUAHRUEAHR WAT R U DUM
yall niggas boring
the twinblade weapon is bugged
has been bugged since the games first failed launch
its been reported thousands of times at this point
dumb faggot

>>717595097
What in the ass fuck are you talking about, gay retard?

An MMO turned singleplayer

It's fun and the aesthetic is something that you won't see in gaming anymore in a sea of neon and anachronism.

>>717594787
This game is the opposite of a scam cash grab, really. They made no money and Curt Schilling basically bankrupted himself trying to make the game happen, kek.

It was a pure passion project and the game has an interesting backstory.

>>717592195 (OP)
I enjoyed it a lot. It feels like a seventh gen god of war clone that somehow got the world map of a small mmo. I call it kingdoms of SLAMalur, because the combat is impactful and fun :)

>717595193
>shit bait

>BRO THE MOVES TOTALLY WORK LOOK M1 DOES DAMAGE
nah fuck off nigger
its a known issue
its been known for whatever 10? years this shit games been out

>>717595317
I accept your concession, lil' bro.

.webm related, me bonkin' you (you're the little gnome loser that gets bonked)

>>717595097
Not true, I played twinblades to about level 20 something, no problem. Are you certain that you were playing the game and not, i dont know, sucking dick and being a faggot?

>nah it worked for me bro
imagine being a retarded nigger shilling a twice failed game and having to straight up lie to do so

>>717595494
Mad 'cuz gay retard

I’m glad Curt isn’t in the Hall

>>717592195 (OP)
pure slop, some cute elves though

>>717594829
it's pure filler. The entire desert world save for the city is filler. Most of the map is filler in fact. Almost all quests are fetch 5 bear asses tier anyway so you're not missing anything

I love "MMOs that turn singleplayer" games, and it's probably because they spend time in development detailing the world/lore than singleplayer games and have more distractions/features that are there as filler.

>>717596072
whoa momma

KoA was actually never supposed to be a MMO, it was supposed to be the prequel to an MMO.
Which means the gameplay choice is even more baffling, but I guess WOW was really popular at the time

Play it and find out. You are already playing it.

the remaster expansion pissed me off, what a piece of shit

>>717596287
It doesn't play like WoW, it plays like GoW. The only thing WoW about it is the questing.

>>717596372
I have never been more angry than buying an expansion that is mechanically nothing but Oblivion Gates. I was also upset about lore changes and that dogshit ending, but that's my fault for being invested in a fictional story and trusting new writers who didn't understand Salvatore's material.

can I goon to this at all??? Ill cop if I can

>>717596494
>The only thing WoW about it is the questing.
and the art style

>>717597423
It's much more like GW2. They both released in the same year. Another interpretation could be Skyrim if vanilla 'rim wasn't a washed-out mess of a game.

>>717597667
It's definitely a WoW inspired art style, c'mon man. First time I played it, it's immediately what I thought like 20 years ago. It's not just the world but the armor, the whole art direction is very much in the WoW fantasy mode

>>717592195 (OP)
A game made by a collection of random people who had no idea what they were doing.

>>717596868
>can I goon to this at all?
should be doable

>>717595661
The BBWoA are largely shitlibs who are gatekeeping the Hall of Very Good.
Letting your politics enter your reasoning is why nobody cares about the HoF anymore.

As proof ,without looking it up can you name the latest HoF class? Nobody can.

>>717594961
>If you do every side quest you'll hit max level well before the end zone and give yourself burnout
Not true, actually - at least in Re-Reckoning. I did a full playthrough of the vanilla game with all side quests, and hit the level cap in one of the last areas before the final boss.
Played both DLCs after completely finishing the main game, though - as its endgame content. The entire leveling experience worked pretty well.

>>717596072
wayfinder was great, cheap as fuck too. Too bad it didn't turn a profit so we'll never see anything like it again, unless stop killing game pulls through.

Combat
>8/10

Skills/Talents
>6/10

Story
>4/10

Graphics
>6/10

Music

That combat is fun though.

>>717592743
I think you are massively overestimating impact Guild Wars 2 had on RPG aesthetics

Salvatore is Walmart tier writer

>>717594787
>>717595097
My character was a universalist and tried every weapon type in the game, all of them work and deal damage. I smell bullshit.

>>717598381
didn't Ichiro get in this year

>>717598828
I am, but I have a weak heart for shit like GW2 and KoA and other trash that nobody likes.

>>717592421
>Retard doesn't know you can change the FOV
newfag or actually retarded?

>>717598196
yeah this is good enough, I'll grab it.

>>717597423
>and the art style
Frankly, Amalur is more or less what Fable series should've turned into. Except with much more soul and much less filler content.

>>717592289
>implying this WoW clone cartoon aesthetic is good

Disgusting

>>717598381
>Straight up tells them not to vote him in
>WTF how could those shitlibs keep him out?

>>717592195 (OP)
did the remaster add ng+?

I wasn't a huge fan of the progression, and hated how quickly you could let yourself get outleveled (and being under leveled means you can't do much damage to enemies).
Combat was ok, but the targeting annoyed me.
World was too big with nothing in it.
Aesthetically, it was nice, and the voice acting was pretty good too.
I hated crafting and the story was meh.
I think what >>717592504 said is right. it's not for everyone, but maybe it resonates with you.

>>717600138
No, go fuck yourself.

>>717592289

When everyone stopped copying WoW

>>717596072
I want to give this game a try now. I actually like the chunky look that Amalur and Wayfinder have. I don't mind grinding and looting as long as I don't have to deal with rent seeking bullshit that actual live service games have.

>>717592289
>>717600453

2006-2010 was peak RPG. The meta to make an RPG game wasn't discovered yet so everyone was experimenting but after Dark souls solved the meta everyone now copies it and the genre became lame.

>>717592195 (OP)
One or two copy pasted boss type. Extremely repetitive combat. Geneic high fantasy story with some decently entertaining side quests

>>717600882
the combat is repetitive
but it also feels good
so basically it's like sex??

>>717599012
A Walmart tier writer might as well be James Joyce compared to the average video game writer though.

>>717600882
>Extremely repetitive combat
That's why I recommend a universalist. You don't get high tier skills, but there's a lot of gameplay variety.

>>717600704
>Solved the meta
Being braindead and too afraid to innovate isn't solving. Do you zoomers really like smelling your own fart that much?

>>717601409

I meant that solved it commercially, as in if you make a soulslike your game will have an established fanbase that are willing to try it even if it's dog shit (example: the new Wo slop Chinese game) thus preventing devs from taking risks and experimenting. and this is also the reason why gaming recently feels boring compared to what's considered to be the golden age of gaming, the early 2000's, because back then 3d games were a new thing and the possibilities were endless and no genre was defined so everyone was FORCED to experiment with 3d games.

>>717592195 (OP)
"we have oblivion at home"

it's kinda fun that you can play this game literally naked (or with mods that gives you NPC clothes with no stats) to get any sort of challenge

>>717603210
Just play on the highest difficulty, it makes you perfectly killable at any point of the game.

>>717603725
it also makes the enemies bullet sponges that are extremely unfun to fight, I'd rather look at fat dark elf tits

>>717603890
It doesn't, you still kill everything quickly.

>>717602556
Fair point, anon. Back then devs had no blueprint, just raw ambition and tech limitations, and ironically that's what made games feel alive. Every studio was throwing shit at the wall in the best way possible-One moment you had Jet Set Radio with cel-shading out of nowhere, next a turn-based RPG with gun summoning demons. Now it’s all “soulslike” or “roguelite deckbuilder with pixel art.” I miss when AAA was weird and jank was charming instead of “early access roadmap TBD.”

>>717605839

we need a new technological breakthrough to save us.

>>717594829
The game is LONG, and you can become stupidly overpowered well before you even make it to the other continent that is the mid-late game. Also, ignore the crafting skills, as that is a sure-fire way to break the game and easily.

>>717605839
TwoWorlds series|also Sacred is solid too desu @_@

I like how the Illidan blades give me lots of mobility and how I can just block whenever I want instead of having to choose a shield vs a two-hander or dual-wielding or freehand like in other games. I do remember in the original having to do some weird fucking shit to grind enough materials for crafting and then going to the pirate DLC place for more shit, but I think the remaster fixed that? I remember threads here when the remaster dropped

Also, why does Rhode Island own this game again?

how do i find the mass effect armor

>>717608609
Because the creator was willing to go into super-debt to get it made, and that debt was collected by the state because that's where he got the loan from.

>>717609096
It's in the special deliveries chest in the first starting town, provided you downloaded the content.

>>717592334
We should have taken ownership of the game and IP, and all profits go to the state.

>>717596072
I wish that could've been the case for Wildstar. That game had a really good look and the gameplay was fun.

>>717592421
Only autistic retarded children on this planet use sloppa as an insult. Youre underage arent you anon.

>>717603210
>the hand pose 1:1 copy of E33 hand poses
E33 copied this fucking gameplay is cant even

>>717596072
for me it's the opposite. they're always so barren and empty, where dedicated single player games at least put effort into presenting a world that looks both alive and lived in.

Why was I told this game is like zelda in any remote way?

>>717610926
someone lied to you, I guess

>>717611010
Seems common with zelda like recommendations

It's amazing how lackluster every photorealistic game looks actual designs

>>717599012
he wasnt the lead writer for the game though. i he wrote up like a 10,000 year history of the world, to flesh it out and give it life. just world and lore. all of the specific writing of the game itself (quests, dialogues, etc) was done by others.
