I would have tried to romance the wizard but he was not a girl, so, I skipped on waifus the whole game.

Long range assault rifle build is actually pretty good once you get Critical Power. Not OP or anything, but decent. Emporion fight was much easier than I expected.

Once you have Critical Power a single crit can deal like 300-500 damage, usually enough to drop most regular enemies in 1 shot, 2 tops. I still can't engage at ranges a sniper could because ARs have terrible precision drop, but with a bit of luck I can kill more enemies each turn than a sniper could. Only 5% move penalty and no close range penalty makes things a lot easier, I can break the line of sight, hide behind corners, etc. freely.

Just beat Ultra Greed Hard for the first time. Had to basically break the fucking game to get it down. Blank Card + Ace of Diamonds and exhausted the item pool. Not proud of the win, but glad I killed that fucker. Hardest boss for me so far. Completed the post-it for Isaac.

>>184012364
The Ultra Greed fight gets way easier as you continue to do it. I'd say Delirium is the hardest boss for me.

I started my day playing Tokyo-42, it's some isometric world where you become an assassin to prove the world you're not an assassin.
You need to rotate the world all the time, kinda annoying in the middle of a fight since you can leap to your death because of the perspective.
I got a katana but I can't get close to people even if their bullets are slow as hell. Fug.

I remember taking more screenshots, don't know why they didn't get saved.

Why is killing Todor not considered optimal? He's way too sloppy to be useful.

Throughout my almost two-decade gaming history, there were 2 games that I envied from console gamers: Dragon's Dogma and Red Dead Redemption.

It's arrival to PC made me experience the most honest hype I've felt in the past 5 years. And I don't play J-/ARPGs (at all) but only traditional Western ones.

Yet I enjoyed DD from the first minute and it took more than 100 hours until I craved for variety. So first and foremost, did you reach Gran Soren already?

Numerically it's bigger than ever in terms of number of devs, number of games, budgets of "indie" games. Maybe the buzz has died down. But be careful that you're not extrapolating a personal shift of viewpoint into an industrywide trend. If you got your start any time since the indie boom, you're gonna be biased towards the year you started. Same goes if you were in high school or college during the indie boom, your perception will be skewed.

There are real trends at play here, of course.http://www.lostgarden.com/2016/11/autumn-of-indie-game-markets.html

>>184084986
Speaking of the void, I did a little more work on that base I built in the void in Subnautica
I've found that ascending from said base is a lot quicker if you just go at emergency speed and ignore the engine catching on fire and hull being breached until the Cyclops' health is around 1/3, at which point you'll be a few hundred meters from crush depth anyway, then you just throw up a shield, get outside to repair hull breaches, then pop back in and throw up the fire suppression, then keep going the rest of the way

You're wrong. Your examples are hack&slash ARPGs. Shit like twitcher 3 and mass effects are also ARPGs, but not hack&slash.

It's a pretty good question: When was the last time AAA produced an actual RPG again?

>>184099767
So, are you saying ARPGs aren't actually RPGs?

>>184099767
what the fuck are you talking about with this arpg nonsense

you're playing a role in a game
it's a role playing game
what the fuck is an rpg if the witcher isnt an rpg

do you still need 8bit graphics and samey chiptune music, bad righting, and 4 character limits to names to be an rpg?

rpg=story driven experience
just because you have gameplay doesnt mean it's the focus
you dont call Portal an FPS just because it's first person and you shoot portals, it's a puzzle game because the mechanics serve the design.

>>184098753
It's just a buggy space opera cover based shooter.

>>184099237
Emphasis on plethora of meaningful and impactful choices&consequences in every aspect of the game, from combat mechanics through interaction with the world to endings.

Immersive, well developed world, writing and lore are pretty important as well.

>>184099317

So FF5-10 aren't RPGs? Your choices have no impact on the ending.

>>184100343
>>184100313
>>184100556
Mechanics serve the design

In COD/Doom, the story serves the shooting, it's a reason to keep fighting. In Witcher, ME, the action serves the narrative.

As you say it, any narrative with any conflict is automatically disregarded.
>>184100680
According to these people's logic, there's no such thing as an RPG, because no game can provide truly meaningful choices, since they're just games. According to them, there's no such thing as narrative for its own sake.

>>184100680
>Emphasis on plethora of meaningful and impactful choices&consequences in every aspect of the game, from combat mechanics through interaction with the world to endings.

What was the budget for that? It wasn't indie, but I wouldn't call it AAA. Besides it ended up being a commercial failure, only reinforcing the point.

JRPGs have different idiosyncracies than (W)RPGs. The entire computer RPG genre is hard to define in a succinct manner, but anyone who isn't a total dumbfuck can tell an actual RPG apart from ME's consolitis-ridden popamole shooting.

Man classic Ace of Spades was some goddamn kino. The full release on Steam totally beefed it.

building a hidden bunker and sniping halfway across the map was goddamn delicious. Tunneling / tunnel clearing too. Lots of other stuff now that I think about it but I'm not going to type it out! Good times.

>The giant headed golden baby is, without question, the greatest and most magnificent idea I have had in my friggin' entire life. Completely spontaneously, without any central decision making, he has become the mascot for the entire game.

>1996 Australian Multimedia Enterprise, Sydney, Australia : "Cleve, we're very interested in this little game project of yours and we'd like to help you complete it in any way we can. Reading over your outline and synopsis, we can't help but notice you've left quite a few details of the game's design and story kind of ambiguous. For example, you've got this NPC character who only has a one-line description ... 'A mysterious interdimensional traveler who pops in and out of the game at odd intervals to engage us in largely pointless and irrelevant discussions of ephemera.' That reads kind of funny on paper, Cleve, but that's the kind of thing we'd need you to flesh out more before we could get involved. For example, what does this character look like? Is he an alien, a ball of energy, what is his story and purpose in the game?" "Well, I was sort of thinking it would be excellent if he was say, a golden baby with a colossal head who floats in midair with all these sparkles around him and constantly looks around with this marvelously exhilarated expression on his face like he is crazy." "I see. That sounds a bit odd and it's also sort of incongruous with the rest of the game. Perhaps you should go off and think some more about this in your synopsis. Maybe a more traditional route for such characters would have wider appeal." "No, I really think he should be a giant floating massive-headed baby. I'm stuck on that idea."

Oh. So that's why. I always wondered what the fuck was up with that.

In 2004 I downloaded an free platformer demo called Not Another Mario Clone. It was tough, low-res and had big sprites drawn in an unusual style. Recently I found it in an old backup. I googled around and it seems like it is no longer available from anywhere. The dev doesn't have it on his website. The game's README says,
>For so, so very long, people have been making horrible Mario-wanna-be games called Mario Clones. This is not one of those games. Their Mario Clones (many can be found on TDC) usually consist of NO original graphics (which is highly insulting to me), and ripped music. Plus, they almost always lack ANY interesting gameplay. I HATE THOSE GAMES, WITH A PASSION.
>So here is my game (though it is uncomplete, only 2 levels). It's sole purpose is to show you all that you CAN in fact make an original, and possibly fun, Mario game. And to help those poor Mario-clone-making fools more, this game is open source.

>>184154251
You obviously should aim at making something that is good, but it's very unlikely to make a build that is truly incapable of finishing the game. It mostly comes down to getting familiar with the game mechanics and taking advantage of everything at your disposal.

>>184154251
You mean the game in general? Not at all. It requires some common sense, but not much more than most rpgs tend to.

>I think the best solution is port Underrail to Unity. But there a lot of work, cause everything should be rewriting. But in other way Unity will bring less problems instead Monogame.
Holy shit my sides. Russians say the darnest things.

>>184154251
Well, you should have at the very least one offensive skill and the stats to support it. Have an idea of what perks and gear you're aiming for.

Minmaxing is not only helpful, it is very much supported and encouraged. On higher difficulties it is a requirement.

Hell no. No matter the difficulty, a good minmaxed build will fucking destroy everything. It's pretty clear that minmaxers were not who Styg had in mind when he set the level of challenge.

>>184156759
Well, not just the item, but what it protects against. Getting kicked in the balls obviously hurts more if you have balls.

>>184155836
That said Underrail engine does have a few issues, especially because it was made with rtwp in mind.

I'm sure everyone had a moment where they couldn't attack without moving half a tile first even though the enemy is clearly in the line of sight. Or even worse, you can't attack the enemy at range without moving even though the enemy can attack you.

>>184156412
>No matter the difficulty, a good minmaxed build will fucking destroy everything
Even the most minmaxed build can easily die if you don't pay attention. EMPs, mental breakdown+neural overload crit, stealthed snipers, etc.

>>184156952
>Getting kicked in the balls obviously hurts more if you have balls.
As a matter of fact getting hit in the vagoo is about as painful as getting hit in the balls.

Males actually have it better because there is a good chance you will get hit in the dick instead which is not nearly as bad, while females have no dick to protect them.

Underrail is clearly a feminist power fantasy.

>>184157578
But like you said, avoiding that is not a matter of minmaxing, but playing well.

>>184157882
Yeah, I'm just saying minmaxing won't save you from player mistakes.

Is there any way to deal with getting spotted by the ghosts in Tithonus Lab as non-psi? Or is reloading pretty much the only thing that can be done?

>>184157383
That has jack shit to do with multiplatform ports.
Wasting years to rewrite everything for a completely unsuitable engine (unity or otherwise) would be beyond idiotic, doubly so because multiplatform implementations of XNA 4 exist. And even if it happened, styg's precise permissive field of view implementation would retain the same kinks. Moot point.

What are some games that have secret endings? Secret as in something you are not likely to find without help, or at least playing the shit out of the game.

Legitimate and joke/easter egg endings are both fine. For an example, in Invisible War you can trigger the secret dance party ending if during the last level you pick up the UNATCO flag, carry it to the old office of your boss from the first game, drop it in the toilet, then flush it down.

>>184175581
VtMB has the dancing werewolf ending if you saw the easter egg, and also the Sabbat ending if you have WESP and were inhuman enough by the time you met Andrei.

To the guy who was interested in Expeditions Viking, maybe you should wait a little longer for them to put out another patch.

I'm on a second playthrough, and it turns out that the game has "ongoing issues with savegame persistence" which means if you replay the game, when you get to a questline that requires you to get or do something (in my case, there is a guy in the forest near your hometown looking for his brother and you can find a sword with the brother's name on it to give to the guy) the game might "think" you're on your old save and think you already got the sword, so there is no sword for you to grab, so you can't complete the quest.

It's a shame, I really do enjoy this game, which makes the bugs even more frustrating.

I really need to stop playing indie trash or I'd die. Maybe I'll try some good indie games on weekends

Getting the first turn makes all the difference. You can eat an eel sandwich/hopper steak to get +1 initiative. Paranoia feat gives a +5.

Otherwise you have to build around surviving his first turn. Burrower burger gives +1 CON, more HP is always good.

Carnifex has Opportunist so you getting entangled means he gets 25% damage bonus. Infused siphoner tabi boots give complete immunity to immobilization and are the only sure way to stop him from entangling you. Escape Artist allows you to escape immobilization, but he still will enjoy a 25% DMG bonus on first turn. Yoy can also evade/resist the net but that's a gamble.

Any armor with bonuses vs. melee and bonus HP is good here. This is probably the main reason why I simply love infused pig leather armor with high density padding- pig leather has naturally high DR at the cost of DT so it's effective against high damage attacks and gives +1 CON so more HP. Infused pig leather will have really high DR and adds a huge (60-100) HP bonus on top of the default +1 CON. High density padding adds a small DR bonus and adds a % increase of DR and DT vs. melee attacks. All of this at only 5% more penalty, 20% total. It's the ideal anti-melee armor and good all-around armor since bonus HP is effective defense against everything.

He also has Combo and Cheap Shots so you can end up skipping a turn. There is really no way to prevent that on 1st turn unless you have psi (Locus of Control) or 10 CON (Thick Skull). You won't have a chance to take a Bullhead pill if he acts first.

con.

>How the fuck am I supposed to deal 700 damage in few turns while entangled and intimidated?
Should be easy enough for an SMG build even in one turn. If you get the first turn, I would suggest a flashbang and going into stealth.If it works get close to Carnifex and just keep bursting until he dies. Special Ops, smart goggles/module, muzzle brake/Full Auto and W2C ammo will greatly increase your damage output. Stunning him will drop his evasion to 0 so you should have 95% chance to hit and having Opportunist will further increase your damage by 25%. Stack enough of these things and he will be dead in only a few bursts.

If he gets the first turn, survive and do the same.

Age of Decadnce does have a few fairly obscure endings with very specific requirements. It's a given considering it has dozens of endings.

>>184201393
Huh are there endings that have nothing to do with """""god""""" or blowing everything up?

>>184201802
Depending on your choices and the guild you joined you may not even be aware that either of those things even exist.

>>184201985
Woah.

>>184201802
Basically every faction has an ending, some multiple. The mechant's guild has two possible endings, depending on your actions in the third city(separate from the endings where you wake god up and point him at a leader). The contents are basically politicking and nothing particularly supernatural.

>>184199001

>>184206217
try it out. its fun, adds a lot of tension and when you achieve things, it feels more rewarding.

It has probably one of the greatest if not the greatest turn-based combat.

Anyways dealing with dogs (or anything as a matter of fact) is pretty easy once you realize what their weakness is and how to take advantage of it. First of all they have no damage reduction/threshold whatsoever so JHP ammo and frag grenades/mines will kill them very quickly. Second, they don't have opposable thumbs do doors are the ultimate defense against them as long as you odn't attract mutants/muties who can open doors for them.

You can also craft an armor out of sipgoner leather to protect you from acid. Once you kill a few mutated dogs you can make an armor out of their skin which is even better vs. acid. Acid entaglement is easy to avoid with some evasion, Escape Artist feat allows you to escape it.

>they're all gonna blow in that mine
Unles your traps skill is really high and your enemies are really blind, your traps will be quickly spotted and enemies will go around them.

It's best to set up traps in front of closed doors or right behind corner, that way enemies don't have a chance to spot them before walking into them. As for mines, you can just remotely detonate them with a grenade when the enemy gets near. Very few enemies can survive getting hit by a grenade than also sets off multiple mines around them.

For some reason I'm suddenly reminded that I haven't played any subnautica lately.

Are there any games you ended up playing because of /indie/?

are Idle games indie?

>>184211041
I had Underrail with maybe 30 mins clocked in and /indie/ made me pick it up again.

>>184211041
LISA, Oneshot, Card City Nights.

>>184211041
I would not have even known OneShot existed if not for /indie/ and I am pretty damn sure I am not the only one who can say that. I did know VA-11 HALL-A and Necrodancer existed beforehand, but I ended up checking them out because of /indie/. I barely played UnderRail so far, but the discussion is making me consider giving it another go.

>>184211041
Subnautica

>>184211150
If they're games in the first place

>>184211150
What would AAA+++ idle game be like?

>>184211516
Same thing but with graphics out the ass and a terrible story.
