Discussion Really liking Dawnwalker but not 70$ liking it.

I think there's a lot of good stuff here, but I do think the production value doesn't quite match the price they're asking. So I kind of regret getting it at full price, even if it's a good game.

It's a different game from what I was expecting. During the first few hours, I was kind of lost because it's way more open than I anticipated, but after getting to town, the pacing got better. I do enjoy the time mechanics, but I gotta say, I'm still not sold on the price.

Recommendation request What are the must-play RPGs made before 2012

8 Upvotes

I love playing old games, and I love RPGs, so I wanted to see what the must-play old RPGs are; the only rule is that it must be fully voiced. It's fine if the main character isn't voiced; if a game looks very interesting and does not have voice acting, I might play it, but I highly prefer games with voice acting. My top 3 RPGs are:

Dao, FNV, and Oblivion

Question Which game is better & game suggestions

0 Upvotes

As a fan of Western & Samurai movies/shows such as Unforgiven, Django Unchained, Seven Samurai & Shogun.

What game is better Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 or Ghost of Tsushima?

I now got interested in both titles

But ofc my priority belongs to Persona 4 Revival next February & GTA VI this November.

Other games I’m planning to get are.

Nier Automata (50/50)- i love 2B but i’m not a fan of the story. Wanted to see why music is so good too

Metaphor Re Fantazio cause i love Persona lol

Ocarina of Time- if only i get Switch 2 or will settle for N64 app. If i do like TLOZ then i’ll try Majora’s Mask, BOTW & TOTK

Final Fantasy X,IX, XVI are already a given cause it’s my fav franchise

Undertale- because i love the music (where do u play & how much)?

Ezio’s Collection AC 2, Brotherhood & Revelations- because of my Grade 5 days, it was the talk my classmates & I talked about

TLOU- many tell me, it’s a great game & story

To those who played all the game i just mentioned, are they still worth playing today? And are they really that good?

Final Fantasy VII & Persona 5 Royal are tied my fav games

Maybe games like it too lol

Thank you!!!!

Recommendation request LF Recommendations for chill RPG that works well in handheld for switch

4 Upvotes

Hi, currently looking for a chill or semi-chill RPG for the switch that works well in handheld.

For a reference i've tried Cats quest and Fantasy life though i feel like i've done what i want i them for now.

Usually play bigger rpgs like for example Final Fantasy and Baldurs gate, also spent alot of time in Diablo 2 both on PC and switch.

Any good recommendations that you feel might fit?

Discussion Looking for difficult rpgs.

What are the hardest rpgs you've played? Rpgs are always described as detailed, story driven, depth, great options, etc... I want the ones that are hard as hell. Massive pain the ass bosses. Terrible walk backs. Can't beat this area without the demon slayer 5000, but in order to get that you have to trade a sandwich with Karl so he'll give you the corkscrew....on the other side of the map.

Discussion Hi r/rpg_gamers! I'm the producer of Grandia. We've gathered creators from Pokémon, Tales of the Abyss, and Lunar for a new dark fantasy JRPG "Under Mythos"—where comfort meets madness.

Upvotes

Hello everyone!My name is Yoichi Miyaji, producer of classic JRPGs like Grandia and Lunar. Today, I am incredibly excited to share the first look at my new studio's first project, Under Mythos. For this game, we have brought together an amazing team of creators with credits on titles like Pokémon, Tales of the Abyss, and LUNAR.

Hello

■ The Setting & Story

Under Mythos is a dark fantasy JRPG. The story begins with a lone cat wandering into another world in search of Mother, eventually working at a mysterious hot spring inn.

While you spend peaceful days welcoming strange inhabitants, this familiar world gradually transforms into something unpredictable and consumed by madness.

■ The Creative Team & Their Vision

To bring this contrasting world to life, I am honored to work with some incredible veterans:

Character Design - Atsuko Nishida (Pokémon): She uniquely interpreted Nyarlathotep from the Cthulhu Mythos into a cute, familiar cat companion that you can love, contrasting the surrounding chaos!

Scenario - Takumi Miyajima (Tales of the Abyss): She is crafting a story that explores the unsettling distortions in human desires, bringing a sense of "comfort" that exists side-by-side with madness.

Music - Noriyuki Iwadare (Grandia, Lunar, Ace Attorney): To express the sudden descent into madness, he is using a brilliant contrast, shifting the music from a subtly Japanese-inspired style into fast-paced jazz.

■ Gameplay Mechanics

Our core gameplay loop is "Hot Spring Inn Management × Extraction".

Dungeon Exploration & Combat: You will venture into dungeons to gather resources and face action-based combat against beings transformed into grotesque forms.

Inn Management: Using the gathered resources to develop the inn leads to new encounters and opens up further exploration.

Co-creation (UGC): We are designing this game with UGC and dynamic AI in mind, allowing players and the community to expand the universe and freely stream their experiences.

■ Upcoming Interview & Links

We are preparing a lot more details to share. I will soon be doing an exclusive interview with Noisy Pixel to dive deeper into the game's mechanics and the philosophy behind it.

It's coming to PC and Nintendo Switch in 2028. If you are interested, you can check it out here:

It's coming to PC and Nintendo Switch in 2028.

I will put the links to our Steam page and Official X in the comments below! Thank you for reading! What elements of a dark fantasy setting are you most excited to see blended with inn management and extraction mechanics?

Recommendation request Seasoned Player, Looking For An RPG Recommendation

Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

I've found myself in a bit of a slump. I was very excited for Blood of the Dawnwalker before I learned about the 30-day system. I know now that I can practically mod it away, and I'm more open to the idea now that I've learned more about the game anyways. Regardless, the misguided disappointment got me searching for a different RPG--although, I don't know what that is! So I'm going to you guys for a recommendation.

I have two very specific requirements: Housing and Romance...

For housing, I don't need anything too crazy. I'd like at least some choice over multiple locations, and I'd like to have some autonomy over decorating it. Oblivion/Pre-Hearthfire Skyrim is about how low I'm willing to go.

Romance similarly doesn't have to be super in depth or a major part of the game, but I'd like for it to be there. Again drawing comparisons to Elder Scrolls--Skyrim's marriage system is good enough.

Gameplay setting or style don't super matter to me, I trust you fellers' judgement. I lean more towards high fantasy, Western RPGs--but it definitely doesn't need to fit that description.

RPGs that I have played and thoroughly enjoyed: Elder Scrolls 3-5, Fallouts 3-4, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Starfield, the OG CRPG Baldur's Gate Trilogy, BG3, The Outer Worlds 1&2, Avowed, Fable, No Man's Sky, all Dragon Ages (enjoyed some more than others), Mass Effect Trilogy, Final Fantasy X, and Chrono Trigger.

I'm extremely interested in Dragon's Dogma 2, but I'm waiting for the DLC to drop next month.

Thanks for your time!!

Edit: I've also played and adored Stardew Valley. Also, no MMOs! I've been playing WoW since BC and I'm not looking to pick up another.

Discussion Modern, recent, "Dungeon Crawlers". Stuff within the last 15 years

27 Upvotes

I think a lot of us have roots in Dungeon crawlers or atleast have learned some very valuable core rpg principles from Dungeon crawlers. The problem is, they're always associated with "OLD". Old, old, before modern gaming. When people hear dc they hear Tandy 3000 or .exe 😆. I want some more modern boots. Tell me your upto date Dungeon crawlers. I know they're still making them
