The (many) RPGs of 2014 - this is the year
- Thread starter Durante
- Start date
Nice!
It's great. You should play it.
They're both great. You should play them.
The second one is very similar to the first which was great. You should play them both.
Special bonus: The tower defense (optional) mini-game in VH2 is amazing as well. I wish there was about 10x the content for that.
Even more so, I think 2016 will be the year of finishing all the damn RPGs released in 2014 and 2015

It's quite possible I won't finish the rpg's of 2014 until about 2020Even more so, I think 2016 will be the year of finishing all the damn RPGs released in 2014 and 2015

Depends. Should XV and X come out next year, then 2015 is the year of console RPGs. 2014 seems to have been the year of PC RPGs. Either way, we're all getting cool stuff.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Yes! Great news, game is looking great.
And also this. I loved what I played of Grimrock, but dancing around those grid's made me feel sick. :/
Same for me. I was a bit out of touch with RPGs since last year, but this thread made me hyped for these new games like Divinity and made me follow the genre more closely since it has everything in in detail here about all the games without prejudice unlike modern gaming websites. Thanks Durante and everyone else for the great job.
Sweet. Like others i hope they fix some things like the battle system. This reminds me i still have to finish the first one too. I was almost there but DS2 came in the way.
Thanks! But I'd like to note that there's lots of prejudice, at least in the hype points part of the OP

I might not be able to start Divinity on day one if Arcanum takes me more than a couple weeks (and I'm sure it will).

Torment is slated for 2015.
And Pillars of Eternity will probably come out then
And Torment will probably come out in 2016, if Wasteland 2 is any indication.

Dragonfall makes Shadowrun a great game again.

I think I gave up on Grimrock because of those puzzles which is a shame because I really loved the game. I'll definitely give II a shot though.
Ugh. When is Pillars of Eternity out again?
Late 2014, at least until they delay it again.
Q4 2014. Believe.

So far, Shadowrun has been my Rpg of 2014.
Except that it came out in 2013.

We're talkin' Dragonfall here. While technically an expansion, it's really more of an entirely different game utilizing assets from the original, shitty, made-for-iOS version of last year.
Dragonfall is to Shadowrun Returns as an adorable corgi is to the poop it leaves after getting into the kitty litter.

Is Dragonfall really that big of a leap? I never even finished the 2013 Shadowrun because I felt it was the boring kind of mediocre.

Yes. It is a role-playing game again. You make decisions that affects the game you're playing, you have limited stats, so character build matters, you have to choose your companions (you can miss recruiting some of them) money is finite, so you have to approach combat delicately due to limited health, you can save nearly anywhere now, you can do actual side quests.
In short, it's a RPG in the Shadowrun universe. It's not perfect, but the difference between the shit we got before and Dragonfall is night and day.
The basic mechanics are the same, but they are used much better. In particular, there's more non-linearity, the companions are much more interesting and the encounter design is better.
And as WanderingWind says, you can save anywhere.

When will we see reviews for Divinity? More importantly is there an OT for it?
OT for the beta, OT for the full game will go up closer to release, I think Durante is making it. No idea when the reviews will drop.
Actually, Casimir will do the OT. It will probably go up 1 week before the release, as is customary.

I'm pretty excited Fantasy Life is coming this year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj9V5-7Vqno
Were there any other RPG announcements for 2014 at E3?

Wouldn't that be tomorrow? Divinity is still scheduled for June 20 isn't it?
No, delayed to June 30th in order to get the final VA in (and probably to avoid releasing right in the middle of the Steam sale).

Hell, even being the week after is a gamble. That purchasing binge hangover and all.
Bloodborne?
That somehow didn't register as "new" in my mind (leaks and all), but yes.

The pain.
I'm surprised if it even makes 2015.

I have been so exicited for this game for so long, it pains me to know its being held back.....I just might have to get it before the 30th. I mean, it releasing in two weeks. Im sure 99 percent of the game is there
Yeah, same here.
Do note that there's no save game compatibility between early access and the final game. Just playing around a bit with it is fine, but don't expect to keep your progress.

Dan said they will probably be there 2015, but now they finally need to actually work on the game instead of doing all the 'useless' stuff like getting funding and publicity..
BTW one thing that pissed me off this week, we were at a NIN show in Prague two days ago, waiting three hours there before they let us in, and only after it, next day, I found out that Warhorse are located like in the bulding right next to the venue. If I had known I would have tried to pay them a visit

Dragonfall is so, so, so damn good. The characters are amazing, the combat is sublime, everybody has their role..

A big thanks to Gaffer Knurek for the heads-up; The Might & Magic X - Deluxe Edition is on sale for only 7,50 Dollars on macgamestore. Comes with a Steam key that's Windows compatible as well.
Just thought some people looking at this thread might want to know.
I'm currently playing Shadowrun, bought Heroes of Might & Magic V Gold last week, now Might & Magic X and Divinity Original Sin in less then two weeks...
...man, these are really great times for a (new) RPG fan.

I just saw this:
Amazingly nostalgic if you remember (particularly the Xeen-era) M&M maps.
