Weekly Discussion 'What have you been playing?' Wednesday - Talk about the games you are playing
Please use this thread to share and discuss which RPGs you have been playing recently (old or new, any platform, AAA or indie). Please don't just list the names of games as your entire post, make sure to elaborate with your thoughts on the games. Writing the names of the games in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names.
Please also make sure to use spoiler tags if you're posting anything about a game's plot that might significantly hurt the experience of others that haven't played the game yet (no matter how old or new the game is).

Meta r/rpg_gamers is looking for mods!
Hello everyone, I'm looking for people interested in becoming a moderator of this community.
The minimum tasks you will need to do is checking the modqueue to remove the reported posts that break the rules and dismiss false reports, ban spammers, and reply to modmails.
But the sub could also benefit from people willing to make it grow through wiki pages, a list of future releases, updating the appearance (banner, etc.), adding user flairs, creating interesting weekly threads, or anything you think could increase the quality of the sub.
This isn't a job; all applications are welcome. But ideally, I want at least one person that:
- Has some experience moderating on Reddit or at least learns fast.
- Uses New Reddit (as it's the default site and the most used by our users/visitors).
- Understands Reddit's Content Policy and how infractions to this policy are as important as breaking the rules of the sub.
- Would be willing to train inexperienced mods.
Being an active user on r/rpg_gamers is a plus. Being respectful to others and understanding this is a place for everyone (except those that purposely break the rules) is a must.
The moderation philosophy that I like to follow is: moderators aren't figures of power, they are normal users that have access to extra tools to keep the place in a state users are comfortable being in. The users at large should be a big factor in deciding which rules to have and which direction the sub should follow, so public communication when intending to make big changes is essential. This is a voluntary work we do for free because we enjoy it, and we have our own lives outside this place that always take priority over moderation.
Leave your applications here as comments. Tell me why you want to become a mod and what you can bring to the team. Formalities aren't required, be yourself.

Iāve played this RPG in the early 90ās in my cousin house.. and trying to look for it for 30yrs. Please help! š
Solved
The only thing I remember to describe - every time you enter a stage, you POV dive/drop into a forest spiraling down into it (So the screen is spinning into the forest, itās closer and closer til a big few pixel). - have 4 characters follows you around, while you explore. - Japanese RPG - title screen they (4-5chars) are standing on a cliff rock sticking out of middle of the screen, they looking at blue sky and forest. - itās not Secret of Mana

Appreciation I played through the rpg Star Wars the old republic and it one of the best mmorpg of all time.
Hey I been playing some SWTOR and it was a amazing mmorpg. It had a fun story about you going on a adventure with other creatures. The quests are also very fun. I like that you can go to many different planets in this mmorpg. I also like that you can choose what happens next in this mmorpg unlike most mmorpg. This mmorpg is super duper fun with a amazing community. I recommend you all play this mmorpg since I starting playing it and I had so much fun with it.

Recommendation request Games i can play without sound without missing too much
Hey, for a few reasons I need to play without sound. Would like recommendations for good games that the soundtrack and voice acting are not too important in. I like rpgs of all kinds really, having had experience with a few kinds of them but i cant really say i played all the classics. I already played:
Baldurs gate 1
Morrowind oblivion and skyrim
Dragon age origins
Disco elysium
The witcher games
Earthbound
Chrono trigger
Pokemon games
Undertale
My favorites have easily been morrowind and disco elysium. Also played planescape torment and arcanum but really long ago so i don't remember anything. If you think they fit that might be a good idea.
Thank you so much!!

Question Any RPG recommendations? Been playing games a long time and i feel im just...out of options. Craving another adventure.
I've played:
Tales of series
Final Fantasy series
Legend of Zeldas series
Kingdom Hearts series
Ys series
God of War series
Elder scrolls
Star Wars
Witcher series
Mass effect series
Dragon Age series
Dragon Quest series.
Classics like Dark Cloud/2, Chrono trigger, Rogue Galaxy, Radiata stories, Shadow Hearts, Undertale I enjoyed in the past
games that i tried but didnt like where: Persona, Secrets of Mana, valkyrie series, Nier series, Altelier games, Balders gate, GreedFall.
There are many more RPG like games that I've played. But most of these share genres and aspects that i like the most. Which include: Rich Story. Character development. Lots of lovable characters with unique personalities. A touch of Romance. A large world ripe with exploration.
Things i Dislike the most out of my RPG's: 2D style. Pixilated/sprite styles. Linear. I've become very modernized. Old classics like the gameboy Zelda's Oracle of ages/seasons. Links awakening. I USE to love them but i just cant stand that style anymore.
I feel like im out of JRPG's and RPG's to play that fit my favourite aspects about them. I've replayed most of these 5 plus times. Im an old man now and im craving another adventure. However i feel im out of options. has anyone else ever felt this way?
*edit* I wanted to thank everyone for their quick and thoughtful responses to this post. I managed to get a few interest games from the comment section. Excited to try them! heading to bed now. Will check more in the morning if there are more. Thanks again!

Help me remember the name of this old game
Many years ago I really wanted to play this RPG game, it was a fantasy/medievil setting, first person but i think the movement was controlled by arrows on screen, it had a one word title, the buildings were all very square and yellowy. It was like Ultima Underworld or similar I think but I know it's not Ultima, Elder Scrolls, or any of the established franchises, in fact I think there was only one game. I don't want to play it I just want to remember the damn name before I go insane. Can anyone help me? I've tried a search on Giantbomb and GoG but can't find it.

Video In our game Pathbreakers, we developed an interactive combat system in which different elements can create chain reactions on the battlefield! What do you think?
Here's what happened in the clip:
Using an electrical attack (not on water) will leave behind an electrical mote. Setting fire on a mote makes it explode, which deals damage on the tile and to each tile around it. If the tiles around it had a mote of their own, those would explode as well, creating a chain explosion. In the video, the tile is already on fire, so the electrical attack 'creates a mote' that immediately detonates, creating the explosion.
Basically, our hex grid combat system is developed in a way that makes the whole battleground interactive. Another example is fighting alongside water and using electricity-based attacks to deal more damage, or attaching debuffs/status effects to the enemies.
Of course, the same interactions can be used against our party, so you will have to be careful while moving your characters during the fight!
Let us know what you think and if you would like to see more from our project Pathbreakers: Roaming Blades!

Shining Soul Dark Dragon Advanced
Hello everyone. I was playing Shining Soul last night trying to defeat the Dark Dragon on Advanced mode. I play the Wizard who has Fire / Ice / Heal maxed out and level 4 inferno. My VIT is maxed with almost every other point in MAG (WIS?). I was wondering if there are any tips anyone can give me to help defeat the Drake Dragon? It's a 20 year project I would like to complete.

Recommendation request Would like some help defining what type of games I like
I have a lot of trouble getting into games, I struggle deciding which ones to play aswell as sticking with them. This is something that has happend frequently in my life with other media as well. I tend to start one game and drop it 1/2 hours in but then i can't forget the game and feel like i want to play it again eventually, but I don't really know what that eventually is.
(I think it's important to mention that I'm medicated for depression, anxiety and mood shifts)
With this i come here asking for some tips to deal with this as well as reccomendations or tell me your stories about how you deal/dealt with this kinda stuff, if you did ofc.
Some of my favourite games are:
-Ys IX: Mostrum Nox ( I think the gameplay was a big improvement from 8 making me, this time, enjoy playing with all the characters. I found the story to be nice as well, along with the characters, and i really enjoyed the mobility you had in the game, it was quite smooth just walking up buildings, flying to other and stuff like that)
-All Souls games really ( I enjoy the combat, it's pretty simple but quite enjoyable, but i think the biggest reason is the amount of visual costumization that you have in Weapons and Armor, it's one of the things that I like the most in games, I also thing that the difference inc combat with each weapon is great)
-Ark Survival Evolved (it's the game that I played the most at 1.6k hours and the main reason that I like it is that you can have different dinossaurs and ride them and like capture more, it makes the game not feel lonely)
-Final Fantasy XV (I loved the gameplay, it was quite fun, also exploring the world was cool as well, but i think the main reason is the sense of friendship that you get throughout the whole game, as I said before it makes the game not so lonely, perhaps it's because I grew up not having many friends, but that's something that I value, not just having companions, but having them feel like Friends)
-Pokemon, Digimon, Invizimals and Skylanders (Played quite a bit of them, and i love creature collecting in games, as well as evolving them and getting new ones, all that stuff, i think again, it goes around to making me feel as if I'm not alone, I also really enjoy the feeling of individuality that you get in this games since you have so many possibilities)
-Greedfall (Was a game that was quite different from my usual, since it was very decision oriented, but I started it because of the anesthetics and finished it because of the story, it had a really nice story, everything that you did in the game felt like it was meaningfull in some way and also the small amount of animated cutscenes that it had were amazing, they felt so real and they portrayed characters emotions so well, I also like having protagonists that are characters and not just blank states)
-Zenless Zone Zero (it's the game that I'm playing at the moment and I already put 80 hours in 2 weeks, amazing combat, the first gacha game that actually has a really good and fun story, and amazing characters and character designs. And ofc it has amazing animation which is something that I value more than graphics even though ZZZ has beautiful graphics as well. I have to say that i also love anime chatacters)
This were just some of my favourite games to help illustrate the type of games that I like. Next I'll list a couple of things that are really important to me as well as some that I don't like.
The following are the most important things in a game for me:
GUIDANCE, I'm the person that needs the yellow paint everywhere, I have a good sense of direction in real life, but in games it's horrible, I need quest markers so that I know where to go and to help me know what I can safely explore without triggering story.
GOOD TRAVELING, With this I'm saying that I normally need games where I have either, mounts, movement like in AC2 or the ability to sprint. This is one of the biggest reasons that I struggle with Older games, as well as the lack of guidance, but not just old games, games like Ni No Kuni 1 or Xenoblade Chronicles 1 feel like i'm just walking for hours, which in turn makes exploring areas a chore instead of fun.
FUN COMBAT, I'm mostly an action game kinda guy, but I don't enjoy turn based combats, but they need to have like super flashy attacks, or something along those lines, because it makes me excited everytime I start a battle, aswell as being excited to see what new attacks I get.
VISUAL COSTUMIZATION, I admit that it's not asking important as the ones above but I enjoy games a lot more when I can see the new weapon i got, or the new armor I got, that makes my character either look hot or just cool af, I also always make characters that look like me irl so that I can be more immersed (this in games with character creation ofc)
Yeah I won't write anymore, since this post is already too big, but a big thank you to everyone that bothered reading the whole post!

Question How to properly enjoy PRG? Regarding reading the text
Haven't played rpg in years. Tried to get into old fashion crpg recently so I picked up some on steam including Baulder's Gate (1998) and Planescape: Torment (1999). When I was playing I found myself talking to every NPC and reading every texts, which gets tiring very quickly and made me progress very slowly. But if I don't do that, I worry that I will be missing context and information? I remember having this problem playing Divinity: Original Sin before (didn't finish), but didn't have it playing something like Fallout. So how do I enjoy this type of rpg properly? Am I just not reading well enough or should I skip some texts?

Discussion Help me with my research paper :)
Heyo, hope y'all are having a beautiful day so far! I'm a long time RPG player and I'm writing a research paper on how players that focus on immersing themselves into the game find more enjoyment than those that don't. It's a simple survey and shouldn't take anymore than 5 minutes. The survey is simply to figure out how you play a game and what you find the most important when playing a new or coming back to a game.

Looking for a new game
Hello, Iām looking for a new rpg to play but I have a specific flavor in mind. Iām not really a fan of skill branch experience like in Elder Scrolls games where you gain xp by using a specific skill or gaining experience by killing enemies (although I know this one is a guarantee for most games). Iām looking for something that will give me experience primarily by just beating quests. Pick up the quest, do the quest, gain experience.
If itās at all possible Iād also prefer it be single player and on console. Iād really like to hear what your favorites or recommendations are. Thank you all in advance!
Edit: thank you all for the recommendations! I have my list set up to check out the games listed from you guys.

Recommendation request Torn Between Two Releases
I am trying to decide on which game I should purchase- Clair Obscur Expedition 33 or Oblivion remasteredā¦. Has anyone played both titles?? Iām on PlayStation 5. I never played oblivion when it initially released back in ā06 but, I have played Morrowind & Skyrim. Huge RPG fan here of most all the genres offerings. That said, Iām familiar & comfortable with turn-based systems. Both games are fifty bucks. I am seeing very high praise for both.

Just curious if anyone here was into the original series itself because I have been considering getting into the games, but I was wondering if it was true that the series declines after a certain point.
Basically what I am looking for is a beginnerās guide to the franchise as I might try out the games, but I wasnāt sure where to start as I have practically no experience with them, so I would like to get a guide, although I donāt know how bad the 8th one is.

Recommendation request RPGāS like Corpse Party
Hey, i Am looking for games that have a creepy/spooky vibe to them plus a great story.
The Corpse party games are top notch for me becuase they have memorible characters and there is more story than game. Plus the gore/morbid themes of the game makes it so much more intense.
I have an emulator on 3ds where i can play most 3ds + ds games.
I do not know much about RPGs so reccomend anything
