This is a 2015 release, but this hits me right in the nostalgias.
Lovely art, but that UI may be a case of overdoing "old style" for its own good.
Gameplay videos in German.Is there much info on Risen 3 yet? I reckon I'll be done divinity by august (MAYBE) already looking for what to follow up with
make that three.Gameplay videos in German.
That's exactly my plan, by the way.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Mmm, that looks so fackin' good.
Any other games in the same vein coming out reasonably soon?I'm somewhat out of the proverbial loop on this stuff...
Holy crap, Heroes of a broken land *finally* got Greenlit today.
For those who don't know, it's a first person dungon blobber with a heroes of might & magic/King's Bounty esque overworld.
Is it good? I have it from a Groupees bundle, I think.
There is also Ar Nosurge which I am interested in
As a ratling you may seem weak and disease ridden on the surface, but you are actually one of the most adaptable and hardy creatures in the world. You are hoarder in nature and greatly enjoy fiddling with mechanical contraptions
As some of you may know, were introducing a new playable race in Legend of Grimrock 2. There is no place in the Northern Realms without them scurrying around. They have spread all over the lands as they seem to wander around endlessly and seldom stay in one place for a long time. Those creepy rodents are sometimes hated and feared for their scruff looks and contagious diseases they bear. But hardly anyone denies the fact that they find their way around the realms and that they are known to be some of the most seasoned creatures there is.
When you pick a ratling in the games character generation section, you get to choose your looks from the portrait gallery, done by our friend Emile Denis. Read more about the creation of the new portraits in here. In game terms ratlings have Strength -4, Dexterity +2, Max Load +15kg and are immune to diseases. Ratlings also get a chance to pick a special racial Mutation trait which boosts one randomly chosen ability score by 1 at level up.
But ratlings are not only found in your party. Like mentioned above, ratlings are everywhere and I mean everywhere, even on the Isle of Nex. Ratlings often enlist to ship crews and pirate galleys to roam the seas of the realms and some of them have shipwrecked and get stranded on the Island. On the Isle of Nex they have nested in the western parts of the island, but they often wander about the island but carefully avoid The Boss. Whenever you smell gunpowder in the air, youre sure to know theres ratling pirates around.
I'd be kind of interested in seeing that list revisited once the year's closed and see what games surprisingly came out, and what games were a complete no show. Quite a bit got delayed but it was still a fairly solid year, especially for smaller ones.
Yup, my guess is about a third of what's in the OP, including some of the highest profile ones, won't make it. So in the end, 2014 gets a few special games (shout out to Divinity: Original Sin, South Park and Shin Megami Tensei!) but is otherwise like just about every other year for RPGs.
Well, it's probably the best for PCs easily, but I wonder about consoles/handhelds and in general Japanese output? Or best overall year, 2011 was pretty good there whether you were looking more niche or mainstream.That's crazy. Divinity, Wasteland 2, Dark Souls 2, Might & magic X, Grimrock 2. It's been pretty much the best RPG year of this century.
Also, Lords of Xulima got released today, may be a 'smaller' title for some but it's the kind of game no one would have dreamed being made just two years ago. For me it's quite huge.
A lot of the RPGs I'm most excited for slipped to 2015.
Persona 6, Witcher 3, Pillars of Eternity.
Torment is probably 2016, but one can foolishly wish...
You're going to have to wait a bit longer than 2015 for that one
We don't know that yet...
Please Atlus!
I'd like to do a follow-up to this thread towards the end of the year to talk about the games that actually were released and how great a year it was for RPGs. If I have the time. I'd probably focus it on PC only since it was by far the most interesting platform for the genre and since it would cut down on the quantity a bit.It's been a great year in RPGs. These are the ones I've played (or am planning on playing)
Age of Decadence
Blackguards
Bravely Default
Child of Light
Consortium
Dark Souls II
+ Dead State (Waiting for Dec 4 launch, but definitely buying this)
Divinity: Original Sin
+ Dragon Age: Inquisition (Got a review copy of this)
Lighting Returns: FF XIII
Lord of the Fallen
Might & Magic X
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
South Park: TSoT
Wasteland 2
South Park, Child of Light, Dragonfall and Might & Magic X are all going to be in my top 10 of the year. MMX is my GOTY right now.
I honestly have no idea how you could ever get to that conclusion. Just by virtue of having M&MX, Grimrock 2, Divinity OS, Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Dragonfall, Dead State, and Dragon Age all in a single year it's a far better year for party-based RPGs than any other in this decade.Yup, my guess is about a third of what's in the OP, including some of the highest profile ones, won't make it.

I think he was pointing out that it's a bit early to be talking about Persona 6 when 5 hasn't come out yet.
Anything noteworthy for December?
