On November 22nd, 2002 a game simply labeled "The Greatest RPG ever made" manifested itself inside Essen Cathedral, Germany, while the bishop there was holding Mass.
By the grace of God, it appeared just as the Bishop was breaking the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was a modern miracle and a sign of His plan.
Piranha Bytes employees were in attendance and gracefully received the gift as per God's wishes. 7 holy days and nights later the game was copied and sent out into the world where it would be cherished and loved by the chosen few who were destined by God to play it.
Fast forward to the modern time and some say the game is still talked about in secret and in hushed forums, where simply uttering it's name brings joy to those who know of its greatness. "Once in a lifetime experience," "perfect game," and many more praises have beset it's cherished form. But one simply stood out. "Greatest RPG ever made." The game now had it's disciples to spread its word of truth forever more.
>mom look i made the same thread for the 1000000th time!!!!
>>388761474
I made this thread for the first timeever
fuck you
actually tried playing this recently
it literally aged like shit.
>>388761641
t. no taste
>>388761412
Have a (you), beggar.
>>388762318
lets hunt boars together
So is this game actually good or is it a meme? I've been on a WRPG spree lately and been thinking about trying this one out but the combat seems unnecessarily involved for a game of this type which is turning me off.
>>388762569
It's pretty good, but the controls are hard to get use to specially now.
>>388762569
It's the greatest RPG ever made, you fool!
>>388762569
it's a meme, don't fall for it
>>388762569
it's good
How come Gothic is so bad? Controls are clunky and combat is very annoying, but I'll admit story is pretty good. Arcania fixed controls but messed everything else
>>388762569
It's very good, but this sub usually fails to mention the flaws that it has (comically hard for a first-timer if you have the expansion installed, clunky controls).

That's a strange way of saying Dark Souls.
>>388763918
>Dark Souls
>RPG
>>388761412
I gave up when I had to approach a merchant and buy a sword for a guy, and accidentally gave the money without getting the item because of the needlessly obtuse UI
>>388763918
>Dark Souls
>rpg
>>388763918
dark souls is a hack and slash with rpg elements bro
name another game where you can do this
should I do another playthrough as a mage?
>>388764097
>>388764041
>>388764009
Still classified as an RPG.
>>388764640
It's an action adventure game with minimal RPG elements. Stat allocation and character creation isn't what makes a game an RPG.
>>388764985
What makes something an rpg in you'r opinion animeposter?
>>388765168
For starters it needs to be based off of table top games and allow you to dictate the story through the world around through various means and each decision you make should have an effect on something else within the world.
Examples would be Fallout 1 and 2, Arcanum, Balder's Gate 1 and 2 and Planescape: Torment.
>>388765457
So total warhammer is an rpg?
wtf i love rpgs now
>>388764209
What did it even do? Seems like you just shrank it.
>>388763837
Nameless hero at endgame beats geralt easily tho.
>>388762569
Its actually really fucking good. Only ameriburgers think its just a meme.
>>388762569
Its basically witcher 3, done right, made over 15 years ago. And more difficult.
>>388765457
By that logic, nobody makes RPG's anymore.

t. assblasted witcherdrones
>>388768175
yes that's right.
>>388768175
There have been plenty on Kickstarter but yes with nu-Bethesda and nu-Bioware you probably won't see an AAA RPG ever again.
is magic in this viable? in gothic 1 it wasn't
>>388763826
>this sub
Literally fuck off back to red dit
>>388762569
Combat takes time to get used to. But once you realize how to game it, its pretty great. Much better than elderscrolls combat by any measure.
>>388768358
Endgame mage is probably the strongest, but earlier on is tough because of lack of mana. You'll probably have to invest into combat somewhat early on. Most go for the 60 dex 1 handed master sword early. Make the correct runes later, and mana manage properly and its pretty fun.
>>388768287
Elex coming soon? No hope for it to be good?
>>388768472
>he fell the obvious b8
Literally fuck off back to red dit
>>388761412
Is there a reason I literally never see any screenshots from this game except this one?
>>388769273
It's a meme started by Hans but this is an imposter Hans since the file name isn't 'aaa'.
>>388769412
wut mod senpai
>>388769636
Not sure, I got that webm from Hans.
>>388761412
>filename not "aaa.jpg"
LEAVE IMPOSTOR
>>388770178
He fucked up again.
>>388769853
I'll let you in on a little secret and small reason as to why this game is amazing. Simply put, the lack of women. Much like The Witcher series Gothic is a male driven power fantasy. Sleep with prostitues? Check. Male protag? Check. Mostly male cast and humor? Check, check.
