    JRPG's with influence from western CRPGS?

    Thanks for the suggestion! Funny you mentioned roguelikes, as they are one of my favorite types of games. Especially games like Brogue, DCSS, etc that give you so many ways to progress and freedom to fight using the environment and other tools. Ill definitely check out your suggestions

    JRPG's with influence from western CRPGS?

    Thanks for the thoughts! I knew it wasnt going to be a common thing... and this proves it. The fact is that a staple of the classic JRPG is storytelling, interesting characters, music, etc. Its just hard for the creators to craft a perfect story and characters if they allowed the player to make...

    JRPG's with influence from western CRPGS?

    100% I agree. Im not really a fan of the totally open world western RPG either, which is why I mentioned the classic CRPGs like Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Classic Elder Scrolls (Pre Oblivion), etc. These games excel in their ability to give the player a huge amount of choice in how the move the...

    JRPG's with influence from western CRPGS?

    Yeah Im thinking more in terms of a classic style JRPG like Final Fantasy, but with the sandbox feel of a CRPG like Baldurs Gate. Where dialogue choices really change the story, and your characters are really flexible in terms of how you build them

    JRPG's with influence from western CRPGS?

    So, as a huge fan of the CRPG genre (Baldurs gate and its similar titles, original Fallouts, etc as well as new incarnations like Divinity, Pillars of Eternity, etc), I am wondering which JRPGs of old or new manage to take some of the better parts of the western CRPG genre. Although I love...

    Controller for Pixel 3

    Hey all, so although I have various handhelds with CFW for emulation such as my PSP and 3DS, I wanted to look into getting a controller for my Pixel 3 to try out some emulators or even native android games. I really like the 8bitdo controllers with the phone clips, but I am wary of the shoddy...

    Hardware New Production Batteries

    So obviously OEM batteries havent been in production for quite a while, and they are still quite expensive and likely sitting around for years. There are of course many Chinese aftermarket options, but are there any in particular that we know are newer production? Is there maybe a specific...

    Gaming Help converting certain ps1 games for psp (corrupted)

    Yeah each game seems to be different. Sometimes I can download a premade eBoot and its fine, but often I have to make them myself. Seems like certain games are just fussy. Which are not working for you?

    Gaming Loving FFTA, what else should I play?

    Thanks so much for the tips! So the general idea is to use a weapon until you master its skill, and then move on to a better weapon or a weapon with a skill that you want to learn next? Sticking with a weapon once mastering its ability is pretty much pointless I assume.. unless you dont have...

    Gaming Loving FFTA, what else should I play?

    Yea there are so many entries in the series too. Was thinking about giving Shadow Dragon on DS a shot as a first try. I really want games that require thoughtful combat/positioning and not just mashing attacks

    Gaming Loving FFTA, what else should I play?

    I am 10 missions into FFTA and I am really loving this game. It is the first FFT game I have ever played. The only real complaint I have is that I am really confused about some of the systems such as skills, jobs, mastering, etc and the game doesnt seem to do too good of a job explaining all of...

    Has anyone heard of this program called fightcade?

    Oh damn, I didnt know that. Gross auto Does the 30th anniversary allow you to play all of them online? If so, are they actually rebuilt with server-side multiplayer from the ground up? If so thats awesome

    My Problem With Metal Gear Solid

    MGS fan here... obviously :) I dont think your points are crazy. I always felt that the aiming and controls in the games were clunky (although they improve in each subsequent game). For me, the series was always about the insane writing and lore. Kojima is truly a cinematic genius. MGS2 was the...
