>3 offensive skills
I meant melee/dodge/evasion
>130 hacking/lockpicking
I know but I only have 57 hacking and 45 lockpicking right now so I need the points to get them there
I don't think I'll have enough points at the end of it since I need so much in hacking/lock picking and crafting. No way I'll get 80 throwing unfortunately. Guess I should've done more math when I started playing but I was really into the game and wasn't paying too much attention to stat point distribution for late game.

>>160702046
I think I should be fine if I just forget about throwing. Maybe pick up a cloaking device or something if I really need more stealth. Also should I just keep dumping into dex? I think I have 12 dex right now. Not sure if I should start getting agi above 10 or maybe some points into str or con.

Guys, I suck dick with Blue Baby in Binding of Isaac and I'm trying to beat Isaac on hard but I can barely get past mom.

I'm sick of resetting twenty times to get one item room and it having a shit item constantly.

Is there a way for me to make it so better items spawn more often, the spawn rate of item rooms in your first room be the same or higher as in normal mode, or at least give me something good to start with that won't disable achievements so I can still unlock things?

I like this game and want to keep playing but my fun is hardcore ruined when I can't get at least get one good item at the start.

>>160705817
I would just keep pumping DEX, maybe a point or two in CON if you feel you don't have enough HP.

That said DEX will save you more skill points. It governs your lockpicking and throwing, so if you keep pumping it you might be able to achieve that 80 throwing with very little skill point investment.

>>160707084
Well those core city thugs killed me real quick but I think that's more to being low level and shitty shield emitter. I'll just keep pumping dex then. Save me lock picking points since I only need to get it to 120 with a mk3 lockpick.
I'd also be a lot stronger if I had proper leather gloves instead of these metal ones but that's going to have to wait till I get my tailoring up and find out where siphoners live.
Thanks for all the advice anon, I know I ask a lot of questions. It's just been so long since I've "gotten into" a game as much as I have underrail. Can't wait to explore the lore/backstory more now that I finally made it to the main city.

https://madguy.itch.io/streets-of-rogue

Unofficial game of the thread. It's in beta right now, but there's a free demo out. It's even got co-op so you can play with your best buddy.

>Streets of Rogue is a rogue-lite about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. The game takes inspiration from fast-paced top-down rogue-lites like Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne, and adds free-form, experimentation-driven, emergent gameplay elements of RPGs like Deus Ex.

>Rather than taking place in a dungeon, the game is set in a functioning, procedurally generated city, where complex AI informs denizens from all walks of life, who are just trying to get by in their daily activities.

I know everyone and their mother is probably sick of seeing the term rogue-lite, but give it a shot, it's pretty fun ableit barebones right now. Given some time to get fleshed out I think it will be pretty wonderful.

>It's just been so long since I've "gotten into" a game as much as I have underrail.
I know the feeling. I wish more games had similar good old game vibe.

Don't stop questioning and observing everything carefully. That's the correct mindset for piecing the backstory together. But no matter, even (and especially) if you miss lots of things, the second playthrough will feel very different after the revelations of the first.

>>160709539
>rogue-lite
what does that mean
WHAT DOES IT MEAN
ITS NOT LIKE ROGUE
ITS NOT ROGUE LITE

>>160709840
If I had to define roguelite, I would say it's a roguelike where accessibility is prioritized at the cost of gameplay depth.

Roguelike for invalids, if you will. But that doesn't mean they can't be fun to play.

no please stop you're triggering me
game devs started naming their garbage "roguelikes" in the same vain people are comparing their games to dark souls now
take a ""hardcore"" game/genre, dumb it down and/or just slap a name on it "the dark souls of x" and boom you have casuals eating that shit up because omg roguelikes are so hardcore XD i cant read ascii but im such a gamer lol!
>it has permadeath? OMG ROGUELIKE SO HARD CORE
The genre is called roguelike because they're games LIKE rogue and there's a very specific definition of what is or isn't a roguelike
Rogue-lite doesn't mean anything it's just a marketing label.
>Non-turnbased rogue-likes
that shouldn't be allowed as a sentence

>>160711451
I admit, I tried constructing my post so it would trigger both roguelike and roguelite players.

But seriously, I don't care about genre elitism. Roguelike itself is vague term. You could say ascii graphics is one of the key values for roguelikes, but on the other hand I doubt anyone would argue stone soup isn't a roguelike despite being primarily tile-based.

>>160711865
>Roguelike itself is vague term
no it isn't
it means like rogue
the fuck is lite rogue
http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Berlin_Interpretation
I've played plenty of good games labeled as "roguelite" or mislabeled as roguelike
I'm just saying it's a really stupid marketing label and I'm instantly wary of any game that misuses the terms just because of a single feature like perma death.

>>160712112
>it means like rogue
Exactly. Which is vague as fuck. How much like rogue does it have to be to be considered roguelike?

>>160712259
I already linked you your answer

>>160709746
I wonder if I missed any lore so far. The only really in depth thing I've learned is about why the depot is the way it is and a tiny bit about the faceless. Also a bit about the happenings with the protectorates. Everything else has just been fairly regular missions for Tanner. I'm assuming most of the lore/story is in the latter half of the game.

>>160712406
And what you said directly contradicts it. (It being only like rogue, not a genre in itself)

But it's not a bad definition, actually. Still vague though, it's just a sliding scale of roguelikeness.

>>160709539
pretty neat
>>160709840
roguelite is codeword for procedural generation, permadeath, and randomness. Its bullshit but then again 90% of RPGs arent RPGs but are games with 1 or 2 RPG elements, e.g. SoulsBorne

>>160711865
>>160712259


>"Roguelike" refers to a genre, not merely "like-Rogue". The genre is represented by its canon. The canon for Roguelikes is ADOM, Angband, Crawl, Nethack, and Rogue.
>This list can be used to determine how roguelike a game is. Missing some points does not mean the game is not a roguelike. Likewise, possessing some points does not mean the game is a roguelike.
>The purpose of the definition is for the roguelike community to better understand what the community is studying. It is not to place constraints on developers or games.

>High value factors

Random environment generation:
The game world is randomly generated in a way that increases replayability. Appearance and placement of items is random. Appearance of monsters is fixed, their placement is random. Fixed content (plots or puzzles or vaults) removes randomness.
Permadeath:
You are not expected to win the game with your first character. You start over from the first level when you die. (It is possible to save games but the savefile is deleted upon loading.) The random environment makes this enjoyable rather than punishing.
Turn-based:
Each command corresponds to a single action/movement. The game is not sensitive to time, you can take your time to choose your action.
Grid-based:
The world is represented by a uniform grid of tiles. Monsters (and the player) take up one tile, regardless of size.
Non-modal:
Movement, battle and other actions take place in the same mode. Every action should be available at any point of the game. Violations to this are ADOM's overworld or Angband's and Crawl's shops.
Complexity:
The game has enough complexity to allow several solutions to common goals. This is obtained by providing enough item/monster and item/item interactions and is strongly connected to having just one mode.
Resource management:
You have to manage your limited resources (e.g. food, healing potions) and find uses for the resources you receive.

>>160714370

Hack'n'slash:
Even though there can be much more to the game, killing lots of monsters is a very important part of a roguelike. The game is player-vs-world: there are no monster/monster relations (like enmities, or diplomacy).

Exploration and discovery:
The game requires careful exploration of the dungeon levels and discovery of the usage of unidentified items. This has to be done anew every time the player starts a new game.

>Low value factors

Single player character:
The player controls a single character. The game is player-centric, the world is viewed through that one character and that character's death is the end of the game.

Monsters are similar to players:
Rules that apply to the player apply to monsters as well. They have inventories, equipment, use items, cast spells etc.

Tactical challenge:
You have to learn about the tactics before you can make any significant progress. This process repeats itself, i.e. early game knowledge is not enough to beat the late game. (Due to random environments and permanent death, roguelikes are challenging to new players.) The game's focus is on providing tactical challenges (as opposed to strategically working on the big picture, or solving puzzles).

ASCII display:
The traditional display for roguelikes is to represent the tiled world by ASCII characters.

Dungeons:
Roguelikes contain dungeons, such as levels composed of rooms and corridors.

Numbers:
The numbers used to describe the character (hit points, attributes etc.) are deliberately shown.

>>160712983
I don't know how to put this to words without spoilers, but the world history is very well developed and there are layers upon layers of interconnected mysteries. Your character will not learn much of the deepest shit on this playthrough, but that stuff is largely irrelevant to the main story and current events.

I just love the way the game does its storytelling. You have to think and actively seek out the answers. I guess that's nothing special, but it just feels so fresh after god knows how many years of MMOs/RPGs with quest compasses and in-your-face exposition dumps in the rare cases there even is a story worth following.

Little hints are slowly trickled down to you, such as the Depot A thing, and those will eventually form a bigger picture. Sometimes finding and interpreting these hints takes a little bit of detective work and thinking; likewise it takes a keen eye and good reasoning to realize certain things as they're happening, but you'll learn about them later and the foreshadowing may seem obvious in hindsight.

If you're predisposed to solving problems optimally, you may even join certain hidden faction and that will certainly turn your life from clueless murderhobo to something more.

Tip- work for Abram.

Joining Protectorate won't stop you from joining them.

Also, you can find siphoners in Core City sewers and in caves near Junkyard. Don't stealth, they jump out of the water when you get close.

>>160757629
Overall low frequency emmiters are the best because they give just enough medium/high/very high thresholds to stop everything short of Aimed Shot performed by a sniper, while also giving very good protection against low/very attacks.

High efficiency converter is objectively the best mod you can add, it pretty much increases the shield HP by a lot woth no downsides.

Wave amplifer raises the thresholds so you can take bigger hits, but it decreases shield HP considerably. Using high quality amplifiers can even lead to nonsensical situations where your shield has 250 threshold against very high speed attacks but only 200 HP.

Capacitors make the shield run out slower when active. Not terribly useful, they don't run out that fast.

High freq shields with an amplifer can be useful if you want to survive sniper Aimed Shot (they tend to kill instantly if you are not a tank) but overall efficent low freq is the best.

>hope there's a god damn crossbow/laser pistol merchant
Electronics merchants usually buy energy weapons, but crossbows are kinda hard to sell. Probably better to just recycle them into repair kits at this point. And special bolts are not worth much, it's better to just leave them if you don't use crossbows.

You know, this is something I've always been wondering about 4chan.

Why did /v/ never care about good PC games (not only WPRGs, but that is a good example), and why does that extend to the new vidya boards as well?

It's like 4chan's gamers have always been console-centric or something. As an oldschool computer (nowadays PC) gamer, I can say that /v/ never talked much about the games I hold dear.

Where my grognards at?

>>160763441
>We mostly discuss games that are not popular enough for their own threads (since they have no other home in /vg/),

It's cool. This thread is practically all the miscellaneous games on /vg/

>>160767529
>It's like 4chan's gamers have always been console-centric or something
Because it is. Normies and younger children tend to be console-centric and guess what the majority of /v/'s posting base is? Young teenagers.The second you even mention 30 fps you get a ton of butthurt console players. They also false flag to make it look like the average pc cares about them. I'll bet you /v/ couldn't get past psi bugs to save newton let alone depot a.

>>160767529
I'd be surprised if not more than a crowd of anons played the old Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate (and games like them like Arcanum). I guess they just don't know other exist.

>>160767771
Yeah, well, I guess that's an acceptable explanation nowadays but /v/ has always been like that. I mean it, it was the same even a decade ago when 4chan wasn't overrun by normies.

>>160767529
I noticed that too.

I also noticed threads about obscure PC games tend to include little to no shitposting.

The viewport is still bigger than Might and Magic so it's not too bad. These games all look much better on a proper CRT though. I have a feeling all the people who claim high budget '90s RPGs like BG have aged graphically played the game at 640x480 upscaled on a flat screen monitor.

Out of all the modern silly genres, "immersive sim" is my favorite.

Like how the fuck is that supposed to define the game? Just say FPS-RPG or something.

There's no /wrpg/ because several WRPG franchises have their own threads. Fallout, old Fallout, Mass Effect etc.

That's what happened with /jrpg/. All of them moved on to their own generals.

>>160806964

I don't know what it's like now but all my time spent in roguelike general had the general go through flavors of the month so even if posting and talking about every roguelike was acceptable, every so often the main focus would change

Ideally, nothing reminds you that you're just playing a game -- not interface, not your character's back-story or capabilities, not game systems, nothing. It's all about how you interact with a relatively complex environment in ways that you find interesting (rather than in ways the developers think are interesting), and in ways that move you closer to accomplishing your goals (not the developers' goals).

Not just the press. Anons do the same thing. Hell, even some gamedevs joke about it.

Tell me about the game called... underrail...

>>160810597
It's an isometric RPG that takes place completely underground and focuses on exploration and combat. It is erroneously compared to Fallout when there is no overhead travel map and feels more like an isometric single character Wizardry 7 than Fallout.

It is not I'm afraid. I'd say it's alright for couch co-op "pass the controller" type if all if you are bad at the game but in that regard it's not as good as, say, Spelunky.

Anyone playing Slime Rancher?

>>160822368
thanks I'll try those t. >>160814948
I had a good 40 hours just playing vanilla tbqh.
then again for the first 25 hours I didn't even speed up over 1x so it probably lenghtened the experience

Aw, shit.

Finally came to /vg/ to talk about this game after playing it straight since the Humble Monthly release. I guess this is the thread, eh?

>>160822914
Go ahead.

As for the thread, nothing of value was lost, you can take my word for it.

>>160822825
Just look somewhere how to have them both activated. I have a gog version and when I tried installing multiple mods I always fucked up. Then I pirated modded gog version and everything worked great, but it's in russian so it's no use to you. I think there's a load order like in bethesda games, something like that.

>>160822368
wait is new medieval town newer than medieval town? do I download "Medieval Town version 2.04.1.0.6" or "New Medieval Town version 1.1b"?

>>160823052
I can tell you in half in hour if you can wait.

>>160823116
don't worry about it hombre, I'll just download the ones with the newest upload dates and hope they work. they claim on the steam workshop page to be fully compatible with each other.

>>160822975
Stardew drama?

Guess I should check the archives.

>>160823165
Only if you are partial to pedophilia.

well this is fantastic. after enabling both the mods the screen just goes black and I have to alt-f4 the game.

>>160823265
nvm a reboot fixed it. damn there's a lot of stuff in the game now, I need to read some readme files or something. hate it when they don't include a full list of features/changes to vanilla on the website.

too bad there's still no "random" button in the main menu for terrains and such but I guess I can just use an online dice roll or something

>>160823189
>pedos love SV
Well, didn't expect that...

I thought, at worst, it would just be shitposting like the old Starbound general.

>>160823348
>there are no readme files

>>160822803
man I want that game, I'm waiting for a nice fat sale on it since the price seems a bit high.

anyone else feel like sales just aren't as good anymore? some devs just don't discount their games one iota even in huge seasonal sales

>>160782674
Protip- during this quest, you will have an option to break Todor out of prison.

Do not do this. As cool as it sounds it's not the optimal way to finish this quest and will lock you out of the later quests. Find a way to prove him innocent instead.

You might need to break into prison to talk to him about details though.

The music in this game seriously does remind of DG. Fashionweek sometimes fooled me into thinking I was listening to some of Lisa's OST.

MC Ride would fit right the fuck in, in Olathe.

this is a spoiler not a pro tip

>>160829530

>it's better for everyone involved to clear innocent during process than break him out of jail
sounds like common sense to me

>>160829936
well yeah but games don't always follow real life logic, especially ones with storylines

ok so I started the game and jesus christ.
will I survive just by reading all the building names? are there additional mechanics, requirements, needs etc. that I need to be aware of compared to vanilla?
I don't want a guide to the optimal build order or anything, just a heads up if there's something I need to be aware of.

I have NMT + CC and nothing else, neither has documentation and the official websites + wikis are down.

Requesting artwork of LISA in which Buzzo is cutting Brad's arm, painted all in color.

Thanks in advance.

Not even just the music, Lisa is just all about drugs and violence.

>>160830282
holy shit it took me like 30 minutes just to go through the menus and read all the names of the new buildings. there's like 40x more than vanilla. I really hope the they didn't do a poor job on the textures, I absolutely hate it when mods break the aesthetic theme

>>160834886
LMAO
>>160825284
Steam sales are shit and give the devs less money. Use the third party key sites that are licensed.

>Lügenpresse
Jesus Christ please stop going to /pol/.

>>160800673
I wasn't aware it had a model at all. Do you ever get to see that ingame?

>>160835130
I use IsThereAnyDeal anyway.

>>160805584
>Lügenpresse
Neat. Nice that they have a word for it.

>>160835130
Can't the creators decide to go on sale though?

>>160835130
You can buy the game direct too, there's usually better sales because they get all the money

>>160838192
I always recommend humble because for their bundles I can pick what developer gets my money and I get a steamkey+torrentand direct download drm free version. It is a very nice backup.

>>160822803
I played it for about 5~ hours on release. Stopped playing since I couldn't find anything else to do. Probably going to wait for a few more big updates before jumping back into it. That game is super relaxing though, really liked it.

>>160828268
I appreciate it anon but I already finished the quest last night before going to bed. Broke in to talk to him, went to talk to the chief since he trusted me now and then found his rifle

Probably the most underrated game on phones.

>>160840151
What's it about?

>>160840447
Its pretty much a casual rpg.

>>160822450
It's too old for neo v to remember.

anyone else having trouble posting? i keep getting captcha errors or errors saying im banned, when im not.

>>160839606
It's chill as fuck.

Wish it was couch co-op because it would be perfect for the non-gamer types that I try to get into video games.
