Fallout: New Vegas. The roleplaying is pretty good but the writing is the game's best feature.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuleBkrRfjI is the polar opposite: No story, great gameplay

>>390120112

-All of the FF series
-Every Bioware game ever

>>390120246
fpbp

Every Silent Hill game.

>>390120773

Actually, I take that back. Origins has better gameplay than story.

Deus Ex

>>390120773
That isn't to say that the gameplay of the first three were bad.

>>390120520
This is a shill. I've seen this guy posting that video in multiple unrelated threads.

It's a good game with no advertising budget and I enjoy it, so by definition, it's not shilling.

Shilling is people being paid to pretend they like a game. I actually like the game and I'm not getting paid to post.

Come play faggot.

>>390120928
Shilling for who? I'm pretty sure Obsidian is not getting any money from NV

sunless sea was unplayable, none of the directions given in quest ever lead me to the landmarks they said would be there

>>390123003
How so? All of them were correct tho they didn't pinpoint the exact location but they were fine as long as you can use cardinal directions

>>390120112
So how's the writing in Skies?

>>390123230
waiting for it get out of EA/10

Star wars republic commando
Good game but shooting mecs was awkward

>>390123230
Surprisingly good, considering their golden boy left the company. If it's at all worse than Seas and Fallen London, I couldn't tell.

>>390120246
>Hollow Knight

Bait.

Should have said Dark Souls, you would get more replies.

Persona 2

>>390123467
Yeah. The gameplay is good, but the writing is excellent.

>>390120112
>Fallen London was banished to the Unterzee by the sun
>also his illegal daughter lives down there
>Dawn Machine was building an artificial sun in the Unterzee
>Sunless Skies is about Fallen London ascending to the heavens with an artificial sun and overthrowing the real sun
>the Dawn Machine won
THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN.

>>390124526
but thats wrong you fucking rubber man

>>390120112
The devs are hoping to fix the gameplay issues in Sunless Skies fortunately

>>390124646
it's like half wrong

Shit, why wasn't I made aware?

>>390124526
This is the beginning story of FL and Sunless Sea as I understand it. Somebody correct my mistakes
SPOILERS, as if anyone cares about that here

Fallen London was the 5th city stolen(though the Masters made deals with the leaders) by the Bazaar
Echo Bazaar is a space crab/squid serving as the messenger and courier of the Judgement
Judgement are the absolute Gods of the universe. They are the stars, and their light governs this universe and all its laws
Our local Judgement, THE SUN, falls in love with another Judgement and sends Bazaar to tell THE SUN's love.
Bazaar is in love with our local Judgement god, THE SUN, but she? doesnt love him? back
Sun gives him a pity fuck out of curiosity, creating Stone. Still doesnt love Bazaar
^ This is ABSOLUTELY HARAM to the other stars. They will kill all parties concerned if they find out.
Sun's waifu rejects the advances.
Bazaar is scared that the Sun will kill itself since she? was rejected.
It went into the Neath, the only place that the Light of Judgement cannot reach, because weird color shit
Bazaar and the Masters stole a city, and started collecting love stories from it
They plan to use the love stories to
a) Convince the Sun to love Bazaar
b) Convince the other stars not to murder them
Bazaar can only steal 7 cities, London is the 5th, and still no decent enough loves stories

Feels good.

>>390125317
I think THE SUN gave the Bazaar the solar dick before he asked her to go give the love note to the other Judgement, then has to gather love stories so the other Judgement will love THE SUN back and the Bazaar and THE SUN aren't killed by the other Judgements

or something

but now the Judgements are dying and Fallen London went to space with the Dawn Machine to move in on their territory

>>390125470
Damn, I missed it.

How has 4chan generally reacted to it?

>>390125658
basically
>it's got good writing but the actual gameplay can be boring

>>390125568
>give the one with a crush on you a pity fuck and get them a child
>make her deliver your love letter to the one you actually like personally
Judgements are assholes

Also its implied maybe that the Judgements want to sputter out and change.
Im not sure though. I always thought the Liberation of Night planned for total Judgement genocide

>>390125658
A lot of butthurt people that thought the game is boring. Also a lot of lorefags. There was a thread earlier where people dumped SMEN

>>390125886
>>390059226

>>390125886
Personally, I felt like the sea was too boring most of the time for how shilled it was as hell's stinky armpit. There's next to no events on the sea, so sailing felt so routine.

"Cheating" and making the ship several times faster made me have so much more fun.

>>390126675
Don't worry, I can see how people find it boring. Also doesn't that fuck up with "Something awaits you at port"?

I hated how better engines fucked with SAY, it's a dumb mechanic.

>>390123986
Do they have a "Pay $20 once and get all of Fallen London free forever" option yet?" Otherwise they get no money from me.

>>390127391
It also fucks up with ports that are too close together. I understand why the mechanic is there but they could've found a better solution

>>390127514
Nope, they still live off subscriptions somehow

>>390125320
is this their new sky something?

>>390127809
Fuck, if they gave me a way to just buy access to the game I would do it in a minute, but I hate that scummy power meter thing.

>>390127848
Yes.

>>390128017
but what is it actually called?
sunless sky?

>>390128062
Sunless Skies

>>390127168
Well, yeah, I still have to wait for that pain in the ass. But it's possible to speed up that too...wait. Damn, I probably should have done that earlier.

I've never actually been bored with SS overall. Maybe I'm a patient masochist or something, hah. Ideally I would have wanted the world be more alive//dynamic and what happens on one island no vacuum...though even without that, I've had a lot more fun with this game than most of the other ones I've played this year.

why

>>390128289
If the devs are anything like me, they enjoy seeing the MGTOW crowd rage.

Unironically this.
The gameplay is top-tier and still holds up to this day, which only proves how goat the story was

this universe is dark as fuck

>forbidden knowledge
> stars and sun are smart and they make laws like the dead stay dead and Fallen london is somewhat magic base as the dead don't stay dead but thats cause the sun doesn't shine down there
>souls are just sun spores aka the babys that they eat
>when you die your soul gets taken to a boat to get eaten
>bees

>>390128289
She probably needs a rubbery man.

>>390128272
>>390128287
hope it's better than the first one, it's one of the few games where I would unironically recommend people play with cheat engine

>>390128334
If the devs were anything like you the game wouldn't exist

>>390128484
That's true, I'm way too lazy to turn any of my ideas into reality.

>>390128454
I know how you feel, once I cheated in a fuckload of Echo, the game was actually enjoyable

>>390128415
Don't forget the sorrow-spiders and buying cities shenanigans

>>390128415
>thats cause the sun doesn't shine down there
also because the Sun's daughter makes things all weird

>>390128454
>cheat engine
lmao get gud, you just need to use cheat engine AND those two nexus mods , then the game becomes enjoyable.

>>390128595
AND THE no afterlife thing.

>>390128289
What's wrong with bees? Too poor to afford that sweet Prisoner's Honey?

>>390125658
I once tried to make a fallen London thread during the elections but no one replied.
Why did you vote for Feducci? He is worse than Trump.

>>390128651

>>390128651
bee's are demons and they take your soul to hell to god knows what.

TL:DR can't fuck a bee

is there a mod that removes the map fog of war?

>>390128929
don't be a fag

>>390129080
no, I refuse to play this "game" make it a choose your own adventure book and I'll happily read it

>>390129120
just cheat in 10 million money and it basically becomes that

>>390129120
Play Fallen London.

>>390128929
Not sure about a mod but there's a legacy that lets you have the map of your previous captain. You are gimping yourself though since you won't get any fragments from exploring

>>390129220
I already am playing it on and off since the energy thing pisses me off

>>390129220
Remember when choose your own adventure books were limited to X number of pages per day? I sure don't.

I know I'm probably nowhere near end game but what is there to do? The only thing that I've seen outside of going out to zee are a few storylets in bazaar side-streets that require a lot of expensive materials. Also,how do you get back in the university

>>390129383
They were limited to x number of pages per book. Then you have to find a new one.
