Add Prey 2017 to the left.

How is the game as a whole? I only played the demo and it was nice
Hudson Gomez
>What happened to WRPGs?
Consoles.
Aaron Howard
you sneak around and you shoot at shit
the same as every other modern western game
Elijah Bennett

Underages can't post on Yea Forums.
Parker Reyes
That image is retarded because the RPG protag is supposed to be kinda plain so you play whatever role you want with him, rather than reading the American’s shitty attempt at writing a novel.
Andrew Jones
The irony.
Levi Bailey
Upcoming WRPGs.

Its a direct iteration on ss2's gameplay and though the pacing can be a bit weird, its really fun to try out different builds and see how you do.
Shut the fuck up, once you get Typhon-based Neuromods it plays more like Dishonored than anything.

if SS3 isn't an RPG then neither is Deus Ex. They're immersion sims

cRPGs died for a good reason
Eli Jones
Nothing is a RPG
John Green
All the good western developers went out of business. This is why every genre that was once dominated by the west either went to shit or died off entirely after 2005 or so.
Hudson Peterson
Epic.
Nathaniel Harris

Brody Young
Their new game looks awful

WRPGs

JRPGs

Levi King
Exactly.
Kevin Jones
if a piece of shit like planescape is considered a standout game for wRPGs, it's no surprise they went to shit, or were even ever good to begin with
Angel Myers
Have they made anything worthwhile since 2006?
Charles Howard

Ayden Ross
They were shit back then too, but not as pathetic.
Brandon Robinson
Prey 2017
Matthew Jackson
Prey is one of the best games this generation.
Daniel Bell
How does it make you feel knowing that D:OS2 is considered a masterpiece and Larian will rape BG3?
Chase Nelson
Indifferent.
BG was never good in the first place, BG faggots crying about Larian's writing when BioWare games were the exact same but made 20 years ago is also entertaining.
Sebastian Richardson
arkane is curently being strangled by bethesda
Jose Bennett
This. BG was never good and the only reason NWN was good was the fan made content and community the campaigns made by BioWare always sucked
Liam Butler
The other day I realized I prefer JRPG sidequests over WRPG sidequests. Your typical JRPG sidequests.
>here is a coliseum, go fight in it for prizes
>here is a casino, go gamble and play minigames for prizes
>here is a monster hunting guild, go hunt rare monsters for prizes
No separate side story about multiple characters to keep track of that ultimately you forget and don't care about because they have nothing to do with the main quest, they don't really get in the way of the main quests pacing either since they are so easy to pick up and drop off at your leisure, they feel like something you do along your main quest as a break from the story rather than you playing handiman fixing literally everyone problem no matter how big or small.
