Finished my second playthrough of Hyperdimension Neptunia :D Weird anime old school japanese style dungeon crawler in not so modern graphics and one of the few games that are trying to be comedies, and it made me laugh on many occasions And now little bit of e-peen waving - I tried to get all the trophies this time and I succeeded My 4th platinum after God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII and White Knight Chronicles, looks like even old farts like me can have enough time for this kind of stuff -
This is not about piracy, this is about censorship... Just read the link https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-boosts-sharing-is-caring-into-the-music-charts-120427/ They cut Dan Bull and other people like him from promoting their music in UK... What does this have to do with piracy?

Sigh, my original post has been lost while I have tried to edit it, so here we go again... I would love to see again some spiritual successor to Infinity Engine games (thad means 2D isometric games with handmade HD backgrounds), which are still one of my most favourites game I have ever played. In order of preference, my dream wish would be: Sequel or game based in the Planescape: Torment universe - IMO the biggest jewel ever created in gaming industry. A game with such huge quality would be for sure hard to make, but anything with the half quality of the original would beat most of the shovelware we get from big publishers nowaday. Van Buren - I want finaly to play this game I hear so much about Icewind Dale 3 - but in AD&D 2nd Edition Rules again Arcanum 2 Lionheart 2 - Original had an awesome idea and very inspiring setting, but unfortunately, the game have looked to me after leaving Barcelona, very rushed and unpollished. Realy big shame, I had realy big hopes for this game when I started to play it. I know it would be very hard to get the rights to all these jewels, but one can never stop dreaming, right? So, if getting the rights for all these games would be impossible to get for you, just start your own IP, with the quality as close as possible to original Infinity Engine games, and I bet, you make lot of 30+ years old gamers, which have grown up with SSI, original Bioware and Black Isle games, very happy Thank you for reading this.

Oh man, how could I forgot about this jewel!!! Announcement of Septerra Core 2 would definately make my pants wet...
-
Yeah, good mix of JRPG an WRPG is realy what could spice up little bit the RPG market... TBH the only two games who have ever tried to accomplish something like this is Anachronox and Septerra Core... (I do not know if FFXIII should be counted as well, but i think the game tried to hard to appease western audience, that in the end the result of the mix was not right)... Although I liked the game and had fun playing it, not as much like FFIX or X, but I played worse FF games

... So much for the hope of the bright future for humanity

If the criticism is well founded and fair, it's ok. But most of the criticism about JRPGs looks to me more like negative advertisement payed by western publishers, just to make sure there will be less competitors, and are always talking about same bull**** like no innovation etc etc... Seriously if you take as an exmaple the most profane series like Final Fantasy, there is much more innovation and new stuff implemented in every single new installment compared with innovation which was brought to the light by Dragon Age franchise. And you just have to shake head when you read it... Western developers generaly do not innovate, they just put same concepts which they think they sell best all the time in their games and no one criticise them... Unfair treatment != criticism, unfair treatment = criticism not based on actual facts... Do yourself checklist. How was different FFXIII-2 from FFXIII and how was different Dragon Age 2 from Dragon Age... Do not take quality of the games into the account, just look at them how many different changes to gameplay they brought to you when compared to their previous sequel...

That does not mean, that a not crappy game from these universes could be a nice and enjoyable addition to the gaming world... And for me, If the game is crappy, it does not exist...

2 greylord. The biggest problem is that many of the amazing JRPGs which were localized in english for PS1 and PS2 were not released in PAL territories, I am EU And yes unfortunately I was serious about getting bored with every single FPS game I played after UTC and Q3, and I have finished lot of them, atm I have just stopped to bother even borrow them from my friends not even to pay for them I do not care about graphics that's why I still prefer game of UTC over any other newly released FPS... And big thanks for the list, I will try to get hand at some of them.

Ok on Monday I will be in the only shop who still sells this game in my country and will be taking Eternal Sonata home, thank you for the recommendations Anyway, I might be very strange figure with very very strange taste in games, but here is the list of the games I realy enjoyed from JRPGs I played all FFs except FF3, and my top 5 favourites are: FF IX (IMO best FF game ever created, I wish SE would do at some point FF IX-2 at least for PSP or VITA) FF X FF X-2 (yes I actualy liked the game, not because of the story, which was typical JPop story, but the ATB system is IMO the best combat system in any FF game I played) FFVII FFXIII (yes for some reason I liked XIII as well O.o) other JRPGs I played and liked: Knights of Xentar on PC - really interesting piece of game, I tried it without knowing what kind of game it was, and then after few hours I found out that it is kind of soft porn story O.o I finished the game and liked it despite the more spice nature of the game Star Ocean I and II for PSP Star Ocean IV for PS3 Atelier Rorona PS3 Atelier Totori PS3 Disgaea 3 PS3 White Knight Chronicles PS3 Hyperdimension Neptunia PS3 Demons Souls PS3 Dark Souls PS3 Unfortunately I was PC exclusive player until 2009 so I missed out a lot of awesome games on PS1 and PS2 and I am atm trying to get as much out of them as possible. I have but never played Chrono Trigger, Chronocross, Star Ocean III, Disgaea 4 and Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2.

Thanks guys, thread like this was badly needed here, at least for me Suikoden I and II already on the way to me Aaaaand anybody played Eternal Sonata and Katherine on PS3, would you recommend them to me to buy them? And unfortunately, I do not see any info about Suikoden III release for PAL territories
-
All excellent reasons. Since 99% of my gaming is online I guess Im just used to it. It never crossed my mind as a negative. Actually very big shame for them, I was really crazy about the game, when they announced it (same when they announced SCII), but the always online connection cooled down all my interests... Anyway willing to buy Starcraft II BattleChest, after they finnish all the games, if they patch out the always online DRM...
-
Umm yes, the RealID... I have completely forgotten about it... actually it was a reason why I have put parental controls on my own WoW account, bacause that was the only way, how to opt out of it... I think they made some changes later to the RealID, but I do not care anymore, I cancelled all subscriptions, and I still have unused Cataclysm serial key...

Stupid question... It's DRM bitching of course /just kidding But the main reason is that I value this forums as the best source of recommendations for good RPG games, with the exception of people with no taste in games like Volo and some FPS lovers Almost no elitism here and very nice bunch of people with similar taste in WRPGs, like I have. Shame there is not many JRPG lovers here as well, it is even harder to find good JRPG localized in English or German or Russian, than to find decent WRPG... Anyway, any lame JRPG still offered me better entertainment than any FPS I played after Unreal Tournament classic and Quake 3 Arena...

Hmm turnbased or real-time that is really the question... I prefer turn based games, but lot combat in these games starts to get very boring when you have a lot of enemies, fighting single encounter 10+ enemies can get at some point a big deal. Real Time Combat is fun, but it can be affected badly by small mistakes in pathfinding, scripts of some abilities. My favourite Turn Based Combat in RPG is Temple of Elemental Evil, my favourite Real Time Combat in RPG is in Baldur's Gate 2. And there is a mix of these two seen in many JRPGs. What I would recommend you is to sit with your guys and ask yourselves what game you played had combat system you liked most And then try to make it in your game even better Whatever will be your final decision, I wish you luck and as much sales as possible, and please, when you release the game, put it at some point at GoG as well. We, no DRM folks, will be very grateful, and we can really appreciate the love you show to us

When I spend avg. 20 days in a month travelling or flying around the Europe, why should I have to trouble myself with finding a hotel with unlimited and fast enough bandwith, which allows you to use torrent traffic (Blizzard Downloader which is used for patching all current Blizzard games is torrent downloader if you do not know that), when I can just open my laptop and run hundreds of other games without this retarded requirement. And I am not speaking about some hotels which ask 20+ EUR a day for wi-fi connection...
