Vertruse Province Beach (Wartales, PC-XSeries-Switch, Shiro Games, 2023)

Welcome to Hackdirt.

I wish this art style spawned imitators.

The problem with modern fantasy anime and RPGs is they don't let girls wear fuckhuge pauldrons anymore

The top left one goes so hard.

Remnant Island Cape (The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails, Nihon Falcom, 2012)

I'm not sure if we'll ever get more Pathfinder CRPGs. Moves like this really show how badly Paizo is doing, they are trying to extract some extra cash from fans just to not go under, firing people & raising prices wasn't enough. CEO of Paizo said the archive should've just agreed to "marketing".

also look at this low poly dog, incredible

Arroyo Village Game: Fallout 2 Dev: Black Isle Studios 🇺🇸 Release: October 29, 1998

I'm sure the good folks from *checks notes* "Luddite festival in NYC" will abolish capitalism soon, so we shouldn't be glad when personal AI assistant ads & PS5 pro ads have to compete w/ ads that make old hardware seem desirable, it's not like it would help reduce the amount of e-waste we produce.

I'm just straight up not buying new releases unless they look like Fuck's Quest 2 or Brazilian Drug Dealer 3. You just KNOW devs hate AI.

We need more ads like this & services like this. It might drive the prices for old games & hardware up, but nothing is worse than e-waste.

Crysta Game: Terranigma Dev: Quintet 🇯🇵 Release: October 20, 1995

Pelican Town Game: Stardew Valley Dev: ConcernedApe Release: February 26, 2016

Playing Cyberpunk 2077 in 2067 to learn what the future will be like.

Labyrinth of Martagon: the first game released by Brian Fargo of Bard's Tale and Fallout fame, and co-created by Michael Cranford. Only a handful of copies were sold while Brian was still in high school, and it was only after he dug out and shared a photo on Twitter that we saw one still existed.

RIP buddy, I'm finally strong enough to avenge you. I will not rest until they are all dead.

If you still buy Harry Potter games & merch - get the fuck away from me.

One of those red hooded guards just killed a black cat that tagged along with me.

I wish studying videogame history was a thing in academia. Never heard about a historian who'd study Nintendo or other old company. It's usually ppl w/ journalism training or enthusiasts. If you think it's good enough, would you really prefer if journalists wrote about WW2 rather than historians?

Set up the new PC! Hopefully this is enough to run GTA6...

Neathholm Beach (Pathfinder- Wrath of the Righteous, PC-PS4-PS5-XOne-Switch, Owlcat Games, 2021) Sent by @rpgtowns.bsky.social Thank you so much! 💜 Check it out to discover what life is like in an RPG Town!

This might've been the very first JRPG I've ever played, damn

Jaronnia Game: Kyle's Quest 2: No Bones About It Dev: Crimson Fire Entertainment Release: 2002

time to watch the great sporting event of last night: kingdom hearts 2 randomiser gdq

Baldur's Gate II (2000) Developed by BioWare.

Still, there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls. It's like every time you cast a die, something disappears. Some alternative ending, or an entirely different world...

One of the great anti-comfy RPG towns. Cursed, skeletons, and it looks muddy as all get out. Love to see it!

Redcliffe Village Dragon Age: Origins 2009

Littleroot Town Game: Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Dev: Game Freak 🇯🇵 Release: November 21, 2002

Gold City Secret of Mana (1993)

Any RPG with encumbrance mechanics is this and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Like this post if you love videogame beaches or if you love thicc dwarf girls.

Rumors

Wife had to talk me out of killing some of Baldur's Gate 3 companions as soon as I met them. Some of them are straight up hostile or at least obnoxious and/or manipulative when you meet or shortly after.

Extremely important information about this game: they put the I Kiss Other Girls dialogue on the fucking packaging

What was your reaction when the last Dragonborn converted to Islam in the Dragonborn DLC and became Abdullah-kiin? #ElderScrolls #Skyrim

Beach near Cyseal (Divinity Original Sin, Larian Studios, 2014)

Kingdom Come Deliverance is 8 years old, but still holds up graphically.

"retro games" are most accurately defined as games released when you didn't have your own bills or taxes

I regularly complain about the loss of disc drives from both laptops and desktops.

I checked out RPGs released in last 2 weeks on Steam 18 games, excluding AI, Chinese only & less than 20 reviews. Out of 18: - 3 have the wrong tag - 3 are NSFW - 0 high budget RPGs 12 may not seem bad, but a third has mixed ratings. You don't have endless supply, it's mostly AI slop & clones.

Square forgot to credit Black Magic for helping make FFXII for the PlayStation 2 possible, smh

Cadaver (1990)

Me when it's time to use holy powers to save the world from demon invasion: "boring ahh plot" Me when it's time to use holy power to get wolf pelts, do fetch quests & loot ancient graves: "OH YEAH!"
