>>1025581 >pic Terrible idea, that's how you end up marrying nutcases like Amber Heard Accept minimal amounts of crazy, unless it's fictional in which case who gives a fuck
>>1025588 Young Amber Heard is 10 hot/10 crazy. Sometimes a funny crazy, like shitting on Johnny Depp's bed, and sometimes an unfunny crazy, like framing him for abuse in court.
Kingdom Hearts.

Does anyone have any CRPG recommendations? I just finished Pathfinder: WotR and it was entertaining enough.
>>1027322 Baldur's Gate 3
>>1027322 Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2. They are related but you don't need to play 1 first to enjoy 2.
>>1027322 Apparently Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 seem to be pretty good.
>>1027325 >>1027387 >>1027389 I've already played all 5 of those :(
>>1027322 Planescape: Torment if you want story. Baldur's Gate 1 is extremely dated while still retaining that fun low level DND combat gameplay. The Swordcoast Stratagem mod catapults the difficulty into the stratosphere, if that's your thing. Baldur's Gate 2 is an overall amazing game, balancing both gameplay and story. Do NOT use the enhanced editions of BG1/2, instead go for the original versions. You can use a BG1 full conversion mod (either BGT or BGTuTu) to make the experience less... dated. The two Icewind Dale games are pure combat, nothing more, nothing less. Neverwinter Nights 2's OC is average, but the Mask of the Betrayer expansion is god tier. Fallout 1 and 2 are both classics and must plays.
>>1027396 If you've already played that many CRPGs, just find a list of CRPGs and watch trailers.
>>1027470 Horrible advice. The overwhelming majority of reviews you'll find barely ever say anything negative or critical about games unless the part of the game being criticized is horrible. "Sekiro bestest game ever!" but the stealth is complete dogshit, almost as bad as that Star Wars Outlaws game. "Elden Ring game of the year all years!" Open world is empty and boring. "Baldur's Gate 3 set the standard for games" but don't mention that act 2 is a buggy mess and that act 3 shipped broken; game probably shipped with over 100k bugs including many soft locks. Hell, Pathfinder: WotR reviews barely touched on how bad their HoMM mode was or how shit the writing was. Game literally takes a dumb on the alignment system and gives you 4 alignment choices: good is too stupid to live, Judge Dredd, lolsorandum humour, comically evil "I kill you!" dialogue (not a joke, that's actually a dialogue option to kill multiple NPCs). Even the previous game had RP elements for each alignment. True Neutral characters could make peace between two beastmen tribes early in chapter 1, you could be a LG and save an important NPC by reminding him that his duty is save lives, etc. But reviews and trailers don't tell you this, you have to sift through negative reviews on Steam or on forums to get an idea of the bad parts of a game. And once again for the challenged: this doesn't apply to egregious examples like last boss of Elden Ring's DLC having frame drops + suffering from being unable to see shit syndrome. Drones will often comment on things like this, but not the deeper problems. 1) they lack ability to either understand and/or vocalize these issues and 2) they fear going against the majority as true normalfags often are. Think of that one JewTuber who said FFXVI sucked, got roasted to infinity for it, and then a year later the same idiots went "oh yeah he's kinda right". Another good example is a screenshot I've seen posted around here about Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, where half the people posting were shitting on 2 for having dumbed down and worse mechanics than 1, while the other half was waifu worshipping.
>>1027474 My advice wasn't "uncritically follow a reviewer's recommendations," it was to find a list of CRPGs then watch trailers.
>>1027322 I'm currently playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance and quite like it. It's set in Bohemia, year 1402. Closest comparison I can think of is Piranha Bytes Gothic/Risen series, but there is no magic and stuff like that.
>Lunar Remastered Collection steam page up >still no word on if it got a full on retranslation >don't know if censored I hope we get 魔法学園LUNAR! with uncensored HD scanned (not upscaled) FMVs. That animation deserves better than highly compressed CD video.
>>1027596 The game is so accurate that when some outlet (Gamespot I think?) showed it to a historian in a video about video game Medieval armor, he started going off on tangents about how accurate their stances were and the way weapons were used.
>>1027727 Well, I have found out one inaccuracy - chickens just stay in the town square during the night, even though they have a hen house right next to them... And in the towns and villages I was feeling like something was off for some reason, then I realized there are no children in the game.
>>1027596 >Play it a few months after launch - run into game breaking bug and can't recover because of fucking savior schnapps dissuade saving. >Play it a few months ago - crashes constantly, visual artifacts It's a very historically accurate piece of shit.
Anyone tried Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty? How is it?
The Trails series. It's Nihon Falcom's biggest RPG series, over 10 games. Trails in the Sky, the 1st game, will be remade in 2025.
>>1029058 >they're remaking Sky For fuck's sake, can't anyone just leave the classics alone?
>>1029058 >over 10 games. And only the first five are any good. and yet I’m still playing every new release. I barely enjoy it anymore but I can’t stop for some reason.
>>1029058 It has been 60 million years, can you still get non lbutchered ocalized version of the games without getting DMCA to death
>>1029095 I mean Kuro 2 got a fan tl after Zerofield died so yes. How soon we get Kai is gonna depend heavily on how quick the CLE chinks get their PC version out. Nisa looks to be trying to shrink the delay to one year if rumors are true. That being said when Kai came out in Japanese several players streamed the game with an MTL overlay and it was surprisingly accurate most of the time so in all honesty if those tools are used a translation could be made relatively quickly.
>>1029060 It's not even out, maybe it will be better.
>>1029129 Do you know how rare it is to expect an actually good remake these days?
>>1029210 Your expectations and the expectations of fusspots here aren't most expectations.
>>1029060 At the very least it seems to be using the exact same script in English and Japanese. The visuals do look nice. It's cool to see the entire Rolent region in one loading zone.
I have a question about SaGa: Can anyone explain to me which games are which in the SaGa franchise? Which games have been remade and which games are sequels to what. I've had a brief look at an article on the series but it wasn't very clear about which remakes are of which game. I'm currently playing Romancing Saga 2 remake and would like to play remakes of 1 and 3 if they exist, as well as the "newest" non-remake entry in the series. And of course I'd like to know what you think is the best game in the series and which ones are worth playing.
>>1034648 Man I've beaten like six of them, and I barely know. It doesnt really matter I guess though.
Also just play the originals, the graphics are beautiful.

radiant historia this game is fantastic.
Saw a local store selling the PS3 version of Ni No Kuni. Is it worth it or should get the NDS version?
>>1034952 Yeah its fine
>>1034659 Very much so, the remake on the 3DS is shit.
>>1034991 It's fine. Just play the mode that cuts out all the new story stuff. Problem solved.
Hexyz Force. an Atlus game most people probably have never even heard of. But I personally enjoy more than the new stuff they put out.
