Saw a video recently where two people are talking about Fallout games: A: "So what Fallout game should I start with?" B: "That depends what you prefer, a game with a good story or a game with good gameplay." A: "Can I have both?" B: "No." What I'm saying is that I'm having fun as hell playing...

The quibble is not that we necessarily disagree with your premise. I guess I can only speak for myself, but my quibble is that this is not a unique quality of RPGs as a video game genre. Even the most basic of games ultimately have a story of some nature, whether that is contained within...

I mean, are we talking about "completely absent a story" or "lacking a compelling story?" Crystal Project is a game that barely, at all, has a story, and it is very much an RPG (in particular it riffs off of Final Fantasy V). Same with Legend of Legacy, and most early dungeon crawlers, which...

I have played and loved many RPGs with poor stories, or little-to-no-stories, or where the story clearly isn't the point/purpose. Is there a dungeon crawler in existence with even just a good story, let alone exceptional?

Picking up Monoco is absolutely a great excuse to go backtracking for the stuff you've missed. Especially if you've unlocked the paint spike ability (and if I remember correctly that's around the earliest point you can get that) I'd recommend also avoiding any tracks you haven't heard in the...

I mean, it's the first time we've gotten a live-action Lara who is actually British! I've also gone on record to say that I really liked the Alicia Vilkander Tomb Raider movie; I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. She definitely looks more like classic Lara as opposed to scrappy Survivor...

How it's treating you so far?

Really depends on the reason that you bounced off it. I think it's fair to say that it has the worst combat in the series. It's Real Time with Pause that's pretending it's more active. It's also the entry that leans the most into the grimdark tone. I think that Origins has some extremely good...

"I didn't steal it! I bought it legally from the nice man in the comically oversized coat!"

The thing about Star Wars is that even bad Star Wars is pretty special. The prequels and Rise of Skywalker are bad Star Wars, but I will still watch them and I will still enjoy myself when I do. Like, I did not particularly like Rogue One, but when I walked out of the theatre I had a huge grin...

They got Martin Bobb-Semple twice?!

As someone who won't even use call AI-generated imagery "art" with scare quotes, I'm totally fine with it being quarantined in a thread where enthusiasts can show off what they generated. I do remember an earlier such thread though mostly being an excuse to post AI-generated cheesecake imagery...

Yes but this is a bit different because we're operating under Miller's Law; whereupon every post-apocalypse, no matter where it's supposed to actually be set, is just Australia

Psych is probably my favorite example, set in Santa Barbara but filmed in Vancouver.

You got your Swedish game jank in my Polish game jank!

As hot as the sands of the Dune Sea by the Great Pit of Carkoon

Throw in a new Suikoden and a Lufia 2 remaster and this is my classic JRPG wishlist (and also making Arcanum... as fun to play as its world is to explore) Capcom has been hinting more and more about bringing older IP back, including Breath of Fire (Darkstalkers might be a harder sell in this...
