Baldurs Gate III?

Also I don’t play RPG usually. But I really like this one. Arco have RPG and Turn Based Element. You should try it.

Adding this to my Steam wishlist. Looks fun!

callouscomic,

It’s an excellent story and great action gameplay. It’s long, but persist and the story pays off incredibly.

This game fulfills my only two requirements. Anime girls, and fishing.

Yep. Lots of “Plot” to appreciate here

callouscomic,

This game actually has an incredibly good story.

I looked at the latest and most “recent” heroes games… they’re all rated/reviewed SO harshly.

Many of the negative reviews are (and rightly so) because of Ubisoft forcing you to use their crappy launcher, adding DRM, and otherwise making the customer experience horrible, and not because there is anything wrong with the genre.

As far as I have heard, 5th game is the last good one. Personally, I haven’t really played it ever, I am mostly just playing HOMM3 and 4.

Maybe look out for single player games?

Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.

Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.

Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.

daddy32,

This. The stuff OP hates in the games is added as the “endgame content” for people planning on spending half their lifetime in the game. That kind of “content” is generally not added to single-player-first games like those you mentioned.

simple, do games w What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?

They’re just not as popular as they used to be, and there are so many players on console nowadays. I can’t imagine playing an RTS with a controller.

Age of Empires seems to be doing really well though. The first 3 games got great remasters, and AoE 4 is well received from what I understand.

ColeSloth,

I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more gaming pcs now days, too. Consoles have been loosing out on the gaming market share since the 90’s. PC overtook consoles in both popularity and profits a bit over a decade ago.

Disheartening enough though, is that as far as profits are concerned, mobile games make $ more than pc and console combined.

CosmoNova,

Many fans of RTS and Halo swear on Halo Wars when it comes to RTS on a console. Apparently, they really figured out how to do it right, but I haven’t played it myself.

CosmoNova, do games w What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?

I guess you’re just playing the wrong ones, really. The Age of Empires games (specifically 2 remake) have been celebrating a decent comeback and AoE4 was released to critical acclaim. Of course Blizzard won’t release anything worth your time anymore, but not everyone is Blizzard. As for turn based RPGs: They’re more popular than ever and I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about. Turn based JRPGs are hugely popular and even CRPGs can be hugely popular if done right.

Ephera, do games w I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.

There’s this open-source, Diablo-like game/engine, called FLARE, which I find interesting in that regard, because the basic gameplay is there. My monkey brain is having fun with it, i.e. getting an endorphine rush, because big numbers go brr.

But they obviously don’t have the budget of Blizzard, to try to hide that that’s what it’s doing.
I think, around 4 times throughout the campaign, you get the same spider model, but this time it’s five levels stronger than last time. 🙃

Have you played the Trails series?

@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

No! I’ve heard it is quite the investment if you want to start at the beginning. Is there a later jumping in point that works well, in your opinion?

_Lory98_,

Not op, but I’ve been playing the series (just finished the sixth game, Cold Steel), and I’d suggest not starting from a later point in the series, as every game references the previous ones in some way. Although even if they didn’t, I’d still suggest starting from Sky, then playing Zero and Azure, as they are really good (and imo much better games than CS).

luciole,
@luciole@beehaw.org avatar

I’ve only played the two first entries so far (Trails in the Sky FC & SC) and I’ve found them be fun JRPGs. I’d recommend starting by the beginning.

JohnEdwa,

You can play Cold Steel 1&2 as your first if you want a more modern introduction to the world and like the persona style school setting stuff, but CS3 is when the stories of all the previous games start merging together, so it’s very highly recommended to have played Sky, Zero and Azure before that or you will miss a lot of it.

Also there is a 3D remake of the Sky trilogy coming, starting sometime next year with the first game. Though so far it seems to be Switch exclusive.

If you don’t mind gacha games, I’ve been enjoying Honkai: Star Rail. The battles are turn based, some of the puzzles and events are a bit reaction time dependent, but not difficult generally.

I love fishing in games. Sega Bass Fishing is great. I recently downloaded legally backed up it and the sequel

I’m glad you are giving Ys so much love. I feel more people need to know about it
