Arcanum is pure jank and is a meme at this point.
No better way to tell that someone's a newfag than namedropping Arcanum into a conversation about 'good rpg vidya'.';

'>>3478481
to me the key component of a newfag post is calling someone else a newfag at all. if youve been here a good while you will stop giving a fuck about defending your brittle anon ego so vehemently. it comes from a place of not being used to zero accountability posting. you dont have an account that other users can look up to check how often you are owned you are just another drop in the piss ocean.';

'>>3478489
Are you talking about Arcanum, or Palworld?

Also, this post sounds very similar to how a leftard tankie commie would type. Now I'm wondering what politics are involved in Arcanum that triggers you so hard that your baby butt gets flabbergasted over it.';

OP is based and correct about "le cum and get it" dosbox slop, but everyone else ITT just took the opportunity to be contrarian haters. Realistically, the only other game like that is ToEE.

Xenogears is not a good game. It's a bad game with a good story and people like it for the story. It's neither a contrarian pick nor a good game.';

No, Ogres are blacks (this is why gnomes want to cross-breed them with humans). Orcs are irish or slavs or italians or some other violent drunks.';

No, they are supposed to be turkic/mongoloid. Blacks were never really part of European history or folklore. However a Turk, Iranian, a non-Slav Russian, or a gypsy (aka North Indian/Afghan) would be very repulsive and be seen as an invasive, brute, dumb species to North Europeans';

Bf:bc2 was the peak of the series. By 5 we were at “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it” territory';

but every other game mentioned here I personally find to be enjoyable and was posting about them (mostly in /vr/) since like 2010';

'>>3480872
The Gnomes are definitely a stand in for Jews but the game in general tackles Victorian era racism/stereotypes. It's not like the game itself is going out of its way to hate on specific groups of people. It's basically just saying "this is how it was and people thought this way back then."';

'>>3481454
It's not shit but one or two people have been hyping it for years on this board. It has a ton of problems/bugs/jank even for the time. When I played it, I got softlocked because I accidentally sequence broke the game so a quest item didn't spawn.';

'>>3481470
What item?';

'>>3481470
The thing is, it's been well regarded everywhere for decades. One or two people loving the game here is fairly poor representation and surely not a case of pretending to like something for contrarianism.';

'>>3481471
I don't remember which item because I played it many many years ago. I think it was because I killed some people that I wasn't supposed to. I do remember not being able to progress and when I looked it up online, people were saying that it was a common bug. I should try replaying the game again.';

'>>3481478
I was just curious because I've never heard of that, usually it's Wake of the Ravager with the showstoppers, and I want to avoid doing it myself if I replay it some time.';

Not really. Aside from its forgettable sequel it was the worst received out of the infinity engine games.';

'>>3482808
>inb4 muh no story idiots
picrel. Yes I'm for real, it's pretty good
how far into the game have you progressed?
backstory is doing that morrowind thing where you learn about ancient stories that affect game events and I love that shit, severed hand is probably among my top gaming sections/levels evar for this alone
it also helps that the sidequests are often directly related to the main plot, not just some random "save my puppy" fetch shit';

'>>3478391
Dark Sun always looked so cool to me but it was before my time, I was hoping someone made a private server for the original online version but it seems no one has.
I downloaded the files and used a program to check out all the cool sprites and stuff though.';

'>>3481979
It felt like a filler game to me but that was fine such I was such a huge fan of BG1 and 2. IWD is pretty alright but way too linear.';

'>>3483369
>private server for the original online version
As one of a handful of people who played it, it wasn't very good, specifically because it didn't really do the whole serve" thing and instead functioned on peer-to-peer where your machine would do the work and could easily be hacked.';

'>>3483423
*server';

'>>3478391
Bg3 should be the posterchild of this thread then';

'>>3483431
BG3 fans are contra-contrarians. Normally they would be le ebin hipsters who hate everything you like, but in this case, they are the slop-enjoyers, and will defend it against your criticism in order to be contrarians against your criticism of the game. Meta-contrarians, if you will.

It's a symptom of terminal-stage irony poisoning, I think.';

'>>3484754

that's true with an 87. what's more telling is that it was well received enough to get an almost immediate expansion and a sequel.';

'>>3484764
The point isn't whether or not it was the "worst received", the point is that saying it was the "worst received", and people "hated it", is fucking retarded, when people generally loved it, but didn't love it "as much" as the other titles.';

'>>3484771
yes, anon, and the best way to point that out is to say it got an expansion and a sequel, not bring up metacritic scores like a retard.';

'Arcanum is the most glaring example and honestly the only one that people have posted ITT that really qualifies. It's so fucking broken, unfinished and just half assed that it has nothing going for it. The writing that people make a big deal about is not only mediocre, there's barely any of it. The setting is also shit and lackluster due to how barely none of its potential is realized. Even with the unofficial patch it's shit.';

'>>3488246
How is that contrarianism though? It's herd mentality and cult status from people who genuinely liked it despite its flaws being transferred down to secondaries. The whole concept of the OP is utterly retarded and anyone giving an answer to it is similarly idiotic.';

Todd, i know people are starting to see through the paid review fest that Fallout show marketing was, but this is getting ridiculous. Come on, Tim Cain even endorsed it, stop shitting on his titles.';
