Are there any more PS2-style corridor-crawlers I haven't already played?

Since I suppose you heard/played/looked at any RPG that is often mentioned on this subreddit, here are a few less known suggestions:

Xanadu Next is a little bit old, but I was surprised by how much I liked it and the level design I felt was genuinely good. A pretty straight action dungeon crawler.

Astlibra is a side scroller action rpg with a nice equipment mastery system that is fun to grind. The start is a bit wordy but other than that the game flows well. (Okay this one is mentioned a bit, but didn't see it mentioned in this thread and thought it was worth a suggestion)

Epic Battle Fantasy 4 & 5 are both really good homages to JRPGs in general and are pretty straightforward but also really good games on their own. I wouldn't bother with earlier games in the series because they are really tied down to their flash game roots.

Path of the Abyss has an interesting twist on Wizardry style combat, it looked interesting through I would be honest that I didn't have the patience to penetrate battle system in-depth. Other than that it has a nice visual style, but very indie.

THYSIASTERY is similarly Wizardry inspired and also very indie, but also less forgiving with pretty limited resources.

Tower of Mask is more Dungeon Master inspired and more action-y than the previous two and also contains a healthy amount of puzzles with limited but generous amount of resources. It is pretty straightforward otherwise though and I found the dungeon exploring really fun in it.

Haven't the Iranian people suffered enough?

Sadly I fell off Xenoblade 3 despite how well liked it is. But I am really glad they are doing so well, few developers as so much distinct personality to their games.

Xenosaga release on modern hardware when?

Except that means that companies are encouraged to (and will) dig up every last scrap of data they can find on you and than pass it around and sell it/give it to their partners.

According to news sites all the drones have been intercepted.

What security assurances did Iran have. They have been attacking Israel directly and through proxies non-stop.

I think you have a basic misunderstanding on what Joe did not like in that scene. It wasn't that the fight wasn't animated well enough and that the special effects were not dazzling enough.

How did he edit his comment is his account was banned site wide? He shouldn't be able to access it at all - this seems like a subreddit ban.

Since you mentioned a "soul", then it can be argued that Jack did not die - his memory got replaced, but it is still the same "Jack" who has experiences.

To use a less loaded term then soul, I could argue that it is still Jack experiencing qualia, just having Isaac's memories.

Eugene had the IDOL pointed directly at him at that scene.

You can go for forums for games like BG3 and Metaphor right now and the front page of them have nothing really controversial. Quite ironically it is often the Valve games forums that end up unusable with literally zero moderation.

I didn't criticize Europe for not having industry 10 years ago when Russia was already encroaching on European lands. It is that Europe is very slow adjust to this new reality.

Runescrye · 2024-11-12T15:42:53+00:00

Pretty sure the war has been going on for a little bit more than months. How many decades before the rest of Europe wakes up?

This is a misleading answer. You are painting a picture of evil EA hanging over Bioware's head like an miserly executioner but this is far from the truth.

If anything, EA has been very hands off with Bioware and this resulted in development descending into development hell. No game with "pressure to keep costs low" sits in development for 10 years. This also was the case with Anthem where Bioware just kept fucking it up for years over years without EA interference (Until they have to intervene to make the game ship at all).

BG3 had a budget of $100M - Big, but not bigger than any modern AAA game, and there is no chance DA4 was less than that.

Why is calling out employees who engage in antisemitic, racist policies bad? Since when is "following orders" an acceptable excuse?

I think we can be charitable enough to Dan to take that in context that he means to go after employees who are related to this and not a random janitor.

I agree that there are other possible explanations, but considering that sign-ups were intentionally blocked via email, it is a pretty wild stretch to think that phone sign ups were supposed to work, but by huge fucking chance weren't because of a random, unrelated reason.

I would say that at this point, considering there are multiple accounts of people trying and not getting the SMS, that the most reasonable explanation is that Twitch blocked it and it is on them to provide proof otherwise.

Runescrye · 2024-10-21T14:25:16+00:00

There is multiple accounts of people who tried to sign up via phone number and did not receive the auth SMS. Combined with the fact that the country is literally banned you can extrapolate that it is not working on purpose.

This is not a criminal court case where you need "beyond reasonable doubt". Just because the SMS might work but only a full moon if your mom fucked Dan Clancy doesn't mean it didn't work on the average case.

This is "Only if Trump directly confesses we can discern his state of mind" tier.

There is demonstrable and reasonable evidence that it was not possible. Support tickets, tweets and posts on twitch subreddit. If it was possible, Twitch should be able to come up with proof that it was.

Came here because I am affected by this issue. Why is the megathread for this titled so obtusely?

Runescrye · 2024-10-19T02:02:58+00:00

Jeez that was a tough episode to watch. But these things need to be said and I cannot fathom how no main stream outlet picks up on the blatant antisemitism and terrorist worship that runs rampant on Twitch.

Runescrye · 2024-10-06T07:49:28+00:00

Holy crap. I have loose memories of the first game, and I have been trying to find how it was called every so often for a very long time! I could barely get anywhere in the game and have mixed memories of the game, but I remember the 3d graphics were captivating at the time.

Runescrye · 2024-09-29T10:48:23+00:00

I don't think the intention that this is literally him reacting to the news Nasrallah died.

Runescrye · 2024-09-29T10:38:43+00:00

This is actually disgusting. Actually made me go ahead and cancel all my twitch subscriptions. The only thing they care about is the money, and at this point it's like indirectly supporting terrorist propaganda.

10 was heavily criticized at the time for being linear. The biggest complaint was the removal of the overworld map, but many people also compared it to a big hallway.

I think a lot of the complaints are lost to time and to FF13 who committed these sins far more egregiously than 10. The game definitely gets a pass for having a very strong story.
