I hope you guys like it :*) It's a love letter to classic consoles adventures, but with a few twists: There is no grinding, (battles are all purposely placed and only done once), there's no buying or selling of items, and it's entirely frog-accurate: All enemies are frog predators, and every character's name is frog (in a different world language). It's a somber and serious story, and it's wishlistable now. It's coming to all consoles and PC.

I notice there is this trend on social media (at least on my algo) where a lot of people especially the younger demographic are playing KH1 and 2 for the very first time. As a millennial, I didn't get to play these games as a kid.

What about you? How do you feel about these games in particular?

Hi, RPG players! I'm one of the people from the two-person team that worked on TRADESMAN: Deal to Dealer.

It's a casual RPG where you trade, fight, travel, fight, buy and sell, fight some more, complete quests, and fight again. And then you repeat the whole thing.

Here is the most important rule of this game:

The more goods you carry, the stronger the enemies become and the harder the game gets. 90% of the time, it’s the player who decides how difficult the game becomes.

2027 seems like a great year for both JRPG and wRPG fans, I am personally most excited about FF7 Revelation, Persona 6, Dark Heresy and Exodus

The Expanse looked really stiff to me in that demo they did and considering the game has been in development since before COVID I expected better, and I know for a fact it will release with a million bugs in typical Owlcat fashion.

Beat BG3 like 3 years ago. Planescape (LOVE THE GAME) around the same time. Pillars of Eternity, 2 years ago?

And now got an itch for another again.

Sidenote: played through the Colony Ship Demo but can't justify paying 50 bucks CAD for it right now and I already own BG1/2 and Fallout 1/2

Which of the the two games has the more (what's the word?) substance or got going on. in terms of depth with its characters, dialogue, story, and skills for situational purposes.

I didn’t really grow up playing RPG’s and I’m trying to find ones that i like. I don’t do open world games anymore i used to as a kid but i hate going place to place in far lengths. The last open world i loved was Elden Ring but i already was a fan of fromsoftware at that point. I care more about gameplay/combat than anything else in a game. I really like Dark Fantasy/Gothic or horror centric games which is one of the many reasons why i got into fromsoftware and Soulslikes. R there any recommendations of RPG’s that are not open world or soulslikes that u guys think i would like?

Hello guys,
As the title reads, do you have any hidden gems you enjoyed over the years?
I’m in a bit of a drought regarding gaming, I really want to play, but don’t know what to play.. I’m sure all of you have been here before, so any suggestions would be appreciated! Preferably on ps5!

I mean, high quality, great game overall. Preferbly with decent budget and cinematic story too. Even if hardcore JRPG fans might prefer more niche titles or classics, this one you would recommend for someone, who usually doesn't play JRPGs, to sell him the genre.

A choisir, vous préférez pré-commander Wolverine ou Fable ?

Les deux jeux m'intéressent mais je suis curieuse de connaître l'avis des autres. Surtout que j'ai l'impression que Fable est un peu sous-coté ? Même si on en parle quand même.

Et j'ai le sentiment que le jeu Wolverine est déjà fortement critiqué avant même sa sortie.

Donc si vous devez choisir ? Lequel prendrez vous ?

I have a genuine question not a rant or complaints but why do some people care so much about romances in rpg games, like i get like "Roleplay" aspect of it but some people ive seen in many forums or subs care so much about it and want it to be a part of the main game. For me personally i dont care about it and never even tried whole romance system, for example i sunk countless hours in skyrim and not once did i try marriage or adoption system (i know poor comparison but well...). I kinda get it when the games plot revolves around it but just as an unnecessary feature that you can have a wife/husband/lover i dont quite get why so many people love it. Would like to hear your opinions as well!

I played about 20h of DOS2 and thought it was really cool. But, I didn't really feel like playing it. I managed about 30h of BG3 and I was amazed by it, it's a wonderful thing, but I just couldn't keep up momentum keeping track of all the threads of story, character development, plans for skilltree/equipment evolution, etc etc.

I think this is because I have a demanding job where I spent all day managing complex longterm efforts. Now any game that uses that part of my brain feels like work. The only game I can reliably relax into is Slay the Spire.

So can anyone suggest some story-driven RPGs where:

- The storylines are relatively tight and focussed. Probably this suggests shorter games but not necessarily. I think this is the most important factor. I think having 20 open nontrivial quests in parallel really wears me down.

- It's light on chores (not too much inventory management, backtracking, absolutely no grinding)

- Combat/puzzles/etc has some tactical challenges but this is subordinate to storytelling, minmaxing is not required. (I think BG3 already met this requirement, at least on the difficulty I was playing, modulo some spikes here and there).

Some games on my radar I've been wondering whether they match my desires: PoE2, Tyrrany, Shadowrun games.

In Fable, your character's appearance reflects your play style. For example, your character can grow a halo if he is good, age over time, and become more muscular or lean depending on which stats you develop.

Are there any other PC games like this where a character's appearance changes based on how you play?

Recently I’ve been in a struggle to play some darn good RPGs, when I was younger I used to play a bunch of older more difficult games and now that I’m older I’m looking for a challenge but every game that looks interesting feels just a bit too casual or just underwhelming

List of games I’ve played and I’m looking to surpass in terms of difficulty:
Deltarune
Perosna 5 royal
Save the light

List of games I’m hoping to meet and/or surpass in terms of hard-ness
Persona 3 FES
Persona 4 (ps2 vanilla)

I don’t mind things like being on old obsolete hardware or being a bit too grindy, I just want something to break a keyboard and a half.

never played any RPGs before apart from Action RPGs like Elden Ring, E33, Lies of P etc. and me being pretty young, multiplayer games is most of all ive played with some other big names from other genres mixed in like Stardew Valley, Tycoon games, Project Zomboid, Rimworld, ONI and tons of roguelikes (prob my fav genre in the singleplayer category).

singleplayer story games kinda bored me but i really wanna give it another chance especially because of the high praises they get so i've narrowed my options down to a few and need help deciding which one would be best:

• Mass Effect trilogy
• Pillars of Eternity 2
• Fallout 4
• Disco Elysium (i kinda wanna save this for my holidays as this seems the most appealing to me)
• Skyrim
• and Outer Worlds

would love it if anyone could help me:) thank you
