    Broken Roads - turn-based Australian post-apocalyptic RPG with "unique morality system"

    It's just advertising. Hardly matters what the game is, good or bad, as long as all the influencers are paid off and the awareness is high, advertising bux all changed hands, then you'll make a million sales in two days and jobs done. Make is as pretty as possible and shallow as a puddle with a...

    Silence of the Siren - HoMM in Space?

    Yeah another Sci fantasy blobber would be great that's what I'm getting at. Just because it's less popular doesn't mean it's worse. Industry so redundant and risk averse. Also it's a completely different setting. Homm is generic fantasy trash from after the IP buyout and M&M is awesome, with...

    Silence of the Siren - HoMM in Space?

    Whys it always gotta be Heroes and not just M&M standard that everyone wants to remake? I'd kill for a good scifi M&M clone.

    World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 - VTMB sequel from The Chinese Room - coming Fall 2024

    Have we seen any weapons yet? I've got this image of powerful Girlboss dumpsterphyre stacking some fortitude and then lightly slap fighting because she has no attack abilities of her own. Fisticuffs doesnt really work for Ventrue I guess but surely they dont expect players to just...

    What's the dialog like in these top RPGs?

    Well I feel your pain OP and from my angle, you're boned. I've bounced off so many RPGs in recent years for exactly this reason. Just pages upon pages of trash tier writing, worse when the these days they try to v/o heaps of it. I don't even know what to recommend for a storyfag these days...I...

    The Tragedy of Homeworld

    On the bright side this shite has inspired me and hopefully others to go back and play HW, also wishlist both Era One and Falling Frontier. I hope the latter two can capitalise on this stumble and make a great Homeworld successor, they have a shot at greatness.

    The Arx Fatalis Thread

    Haha yeh, a combo between Messiah and Arx would have been very nice. Messiah had the fluidity, speed, combat stuff and Arx had the skeleton it should have been put on.

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    Why DOES this game have such mediocre scores? Even if it was more of same from the first game that was preddy alright?

    Vapourware Features from old games you wish are done more often.

    Writing that was a result of your actual stats in RPGs- like in Fallout or Arcanum where low intelligence meant barely functioning speech and comprehension or different reactions depending on your race. Can't do that with crap V/O, too expensive. In general, any risk. The idea of praying to...

    The Arx Fatalis Thread

    The only thing that's a definite miss is archery iirc. There are only a couple of bows in the game and they aren't great.

    Sonar Shock - System Shock 1 inspired game set on a haunted Soviet submarine - coming May

    So considering this is on a submarine is it really short? It's not like you can squeeze 10 levels of finely crafted maze onto a sub.

    Trigger the codex with a statement.

    Was that just a 'posting cos it might trigger someone' or you actually believe that? If so please point me at the gritty dark fantasy because I haven't seen any that I can think of, ever. Perhaps Darklands?
