A while ago I replayed Exile 3 and the first Geneforge but ended up dropping them two thirds through; once the knot begins to unravel they feel very predictable, and the combat is just too boring to push through it. A shame because I do consider them excellent rpgs nonetheless.
- Avernum: Escape from the pit - thoroughly fucking loved it. Got around 25 hours in and fucked my party build up by experimenting, so putting it to one side now and restarting in a few weeks.
Same here! I'm about 40 hours in.
You ever play the original Exile: Escape from the Pit? That was my first RPG. I haven't played it in forever, so this has been a nice blast from the past.
Of course not ! But thanks anyway .So yeah, having a blast with all of em! :D Hope u guys are enjoying some cool RPGs too. Take care! <3
I was just playing the original campaign (it's linear, turn-based popamole) and felt this as well. So I looked at the kickstarter pitch and at least they were honest about it in the word ordering. Emphasis mine:Been testing out Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Okay game I guess, feels like it was made for mobilephones though.
Shadowrun Returns brings back one of our most original & cherished game settings as a 2D turn-based RPG for tablets & PC.
In this pandemic, what else is there to life other than movies, video games and TV shows?
I'm playing this, too. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's awesome, but it's certainly very decent.Salt and Sanctuary. It's awesome.
Try out Bloodlines, if you haven't. I think it's the more accessible of these games. Roll a Tremere and go all in on Thaumaturgy.Avadon, Serpent in the Staglands, Outer Worlds, Deus Ex are some of the games I remember losing all the excitement for after a couple of hours.
Oh yeah. The interface doesn't help either. Stick with it though. It has an intriguing story to tell about politics, dragons, fallen heroes, and wyrm talk.. Okay game I guess, feels like it was made for mobilephones though.
My current playing list:
And not a game but I have been trying to make parallax first person movement animation in the vein of Obitus, a game I have never played but I like the kind of movement system, doing this using aesprite.
- Wizardry 8 - playing with four characters (Dracon Fighter, Human Thief, Faerie Bard, Elven Bishop), just entered Arnika, saved Vi and just wandering around getting strategies up and working.
- Betrayal at Krondor - Near the end of Chapter 1 just trying to collect everything and build up skills, but wondering if it is worth the grinding?
- Tales of Arise - Just before the fifth Lord battle and I have had enough; there is so much of the plot which is sort of random and I was waiting for things to start making sense but yep I can't be bothered waiting to find out what happens once they are all beaten....and if I am going to play an action RPG I think I would rather just wait for Elden Ring in February.
- Monomyth Demo - Have been playing a bit of this but I don't really want to get too into it until (a) the full thing is released and (b) I get a Steam Deck or some PC that is a lot better than my current machine.
I am still debating whether I should pick up Dungeon Encounters or not? - it looks like a minimalist dungeon crawler that I would enjoy but the fact that they have rock versions of classical music as the base music might drive me a bit crazy. Waiting for Trails of Azure official english version to release, also Skald, Monomyth and Elden Ring.
