A new Owlcat RPG. Finally, Mass Effect will be dethroned.

>dethroned
The mass Effect trilogy is almost 20 years old.

>>3777333
Still the best sci-fi RPG series.

>>3777339
mass effect is not an RPG series, its a choose your own adventure game series with third person shooter segments

>>3777318 (OP)
>dethrone
Even if we say ME3 reactions are overblown, that was 13 years ago and Andromeda which sucked ass was 8.
More accurately, this and Exodus will make ME4 seem retarded, same way any RPG made Veilguard look liek a joke

>>3777318 (OP)
Owlcat shits so many games but none of them are above 6/10
This philosophy in designing games is also apparent in their actual games by introducing a fuckton of classes and feats while only few of them are worth anything.

So basically their whole philosophy is quantity over quality.

So it's not a CRPG?
Not interested.

>>3777406
True, but I think, for me anyway, it's due to their dumb ass mini games they bake into the game that are almost required. Like kingdom management in the first game and the whole crusade shit in the 2nd pathfinder. Yeah yeah you can set a lot to auto, but if you do, you miss out on a lot of content and you still have to interact with the systems on a base level. It bores me to tears. Especially the poor time usage where you have to juggle events and calendar days like you're playing Persona 5 and if you miss something you can permanently lose the game.
Don't put any of that faggot shit in this game and you might get my money, Owlfat.

>>3777318 (OP)
I see owlcat continues to rely on licensed successful IP to sell their games?
honestly looks fucking uninspired

>>3777318 (OP)
Just imagine how buggy this will be compared to their top down games.

>>3777406
>This philosophy in designing games is also apparent in their actual games by introducing a fuckton of classes and feats while only few of them are worth anything.

Owlcats main problems are
>poor management and planning, leading to overscoping, massively unpolished and poor balancing
>bad/mediocre system, game, quest and level designers
>writers/narrative designers having more say and controls what quests, events and areas are like

>>3777318 (OP)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
Owlcucks really want to be Biowhore, LMAO

>>3777318 (OP)
So Larian is the only studio from that CRPG renaissance that has kept making classic style CRPGs?

Obsidian went Bethesda, owlcat goes bioware, Inxile is going first person too right?

Time is a flat circle..

>>3777727
>CRPG renaissance
you mean the kickstarter cash infusion from nostalgia cucks era?

i bet every other npc will be using "belter creole", god, imagine the cringe. i dropped the series because that shit was unbearable, even with jared harris playing the OPA guy
i read the books instead but those were fucking shit too. actually if the tv series had been finished, it might have been better than the books just by virtue of being shorter and cutting out unnecessary plotlines.
as for this game, shit, who knows. it's probably some petty plot like how did those stealth fighters get invented or how the protomolecule got smuggled somewhere. not very exciting. call me shallow, but if i've already seen every major development in a setting's universe, and a confrontation with an existential threat get resolved, i just don't care if you serve me a plot about some niggers salvaging shit

>>3777318 (OP)
Looks terrible!

Just fucking make a new pathfinder game we did NOT ask for this

t. Community representative

>>3777737
I actually enjoyed belter creole until the most reason seasons after Amazon bought and it became cape shit. First four seasons of the show were pretty good showing off the universe in a variety different ways. After season 4 with the alien planet it's just existential threat hard choices existential threat backstab existential threat

>>3777318 (OP)
Dood, it's like Gears of War! Dood

>>3777727
Owlcat works on a Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader got 2 more dlcs announced and third season isn't out of the question, now revealed Expanse and two more crpgs like their 40k and Pathfinder games, both also in established IPs. They clearly aren't abandoning crpgs

>>3777755
It's literally mass effect

>>3777766
>it's not a cover shooter, it's a cover shooter
big brain post

>>3777318 (OP)
Curious about the system. I doubt they can invent classes and battle mechanics, but OK.

>>3777766
But without space magics. ME1 was carried hard by fun biotics shenenigans.

>>3777768
Has to do with the rpg/progression elements, you big genius

>>3777318 (OP)
It looks very generic.

>>3777742
>muh pathfinder
>doublespacing
kek
also owlcat are never returning to pathfinder
>>3777776
>it's an rpg if it has that one thing other rpgs do
retard-alert!
if the core of the game is a shooter, it's a shooter with rpg elements
it's too early to tell but from the looks of the trailer they are leaning into the shooter pretty heavily
I'd wait for actual gameplay footage though
also
>digits
you were so close to greatness

>>3777318 (OP)
Lmao. Who gives a shit about the "The Expanse universe"? The show was carried by the characters and the best one died in season 2 and after that it descended into absolute sloppa.

>>3777783
The point is the distinction from a pure shooter like gears.
Why do you fucktards have to stick with your guns no matter the take?
There is an obvious point of reference more so than gears, which people will use

>>3777786
Brown girl jumping into space and it's merely ouch is peak ridiculous. Despite that, instafreezing of some guy isnt scientifically sound, too.

>>3777799
Black girl lead was forced to girlboss for them Amazon bucks even though she was a white man's whore for syfy

They can't even make a simple game in Unity without collapsing in on themselves. Imagine them making a third-person shooter.

>>3777776
Who go the get
>>3777777

>>3777727
I love Larian but I would not say they make "classic style CRPGs" lol, like the other anon said Owlcat is still making BG2 clones and they probably will keep making them for a long time

I really really want to hang every belter I find

>>3777318 (OP)
Hose behind the helmet, very intelligent

>>3778598
i never made it that far in the tv show but this character was really funny in the books. since he made complete sense almost every time, the authors just had to come out and have the crew of the roci read his fucking mind and tell the reader that umm actually he's only pretending to make sense, inside he's a psycho who only behaves rationally so he could justify his need to kill others
it was really fucking stupid, even by those fucking hacks' standards

>The Expanse
>RPG
lol no

>>3778636
If the authors wanted people to sympathise with belters they shouldn't have made them a bunch of screeching unwashed lanky monkeys. I am going to make a martian and I'm gonna kill every belter I find, except the cute girls of course.

>>3778636
People hate the smug asshole who seems like a selfish tyrant and ignore that tyrants are needed from time to time

>>3777318 (OP)
boring setting for even an arpg

>>3780290
People overvalue the setting sometimes.
Now whetehr you consider owlcat talented writers tha can make a compelling narrative within a basic setting, whole different argument

>>3778823
yeah in show they made them complete assholes and idiots.

>>3777575
None of that mini game shit is in this game

>>3777727
Larian has not said their next project is a crpg

>>3777318 (OP)
Can't wait for Owlcat to force their high fantasy sensibilities into The Expanse's semisolid sci-fi setting.
I'm still mad at them for pathfinderizing Rogue Trader.

>>3780312
Please elaborate. How can they pathfinderize the Expanse?

>>3778823
The eastern european belter whore was pretty hot, I would smash.

>>3777318 (OP)
Dethrone this.

>>3777742
>Pathfinder
Fuck no. They made two of them already, and both were overrated trash.

>>3780770
best i can do is an offensively ugly 0/10 gorilla nigger with the worst haircut you've ever seen on a woman

>>3780348
First of they're going to add classes. One of which is going to be a a guy with a shield, melee weapon, and a lot of, Allah forgive me for saying this, hitpoints who is supposed to "tank". Then you have a guy with a gun who deals a lot of damage but has to stay behind the tank. And the third class uses mag-, I mean, "technology" to buff their allies.
Also, 90% of the gameplay is going to be "exploring" Linear dungeons where you just stroll from pointless combat encounter to pointless combat encounter.
But hey, once you kill enough pirates you'll get enough XP to level up and in just a couple more levels you'll reach the requirement for equipping that rare Marsian Power Armor you got as a quest reward in act 2.

>>3780852
Anon, you could at least watch the trailer and realize it is just Mass Effect.

>>3780770
>mouthbreathing manjaw hiding her adam's apple and wearing shoulderpads with implant tits
soz, u gay

>>3780858
I won't trust Owlcat not to fumble a simple copying job for no reason at all.
I'm looking forward to the game, I'll probably buy it, I'll probably have fun playing it, but I expect them add a lot of filler instead of engaging content.
Don't get me wrong, I like Owlcat Games' stuff. They make games I want to be made, they just make them wrong and it's driving me insane.

>>3780882
Imagine just lying like that and not having any remorse.

>>3781007
every word is completely 100% accurate in its descriptive properties, except the adam's apple shit, which is a joke.

>>3780886
Sure, just pointing out there is no pathfinderinzing or whatever. It plays like Mass Effect, not even something like Greedfal or Technomancer

>>3777318 (OP)
Mass Effect hasn't been relevant in years, for how good this game will be. Release will show, I do not trust Owlcat to release complete games. They have the Paradox development disease.

>>3777406
>introducing a fuckton of classes and feats while only few of them are worth anything.
That is pretty much a D&D trademark from 3rd edition onward rather than Owlcat specific. Ivory tower design with trap choices and requiring system mastery to not suck is a poor way to design an RPG but normalfags love that shit.

>>3781152
There's no such thing as a "relevant" video game, only contemporaneous fads.
