If I'd made an indie jrpg, instead of 8-bit pixel style,

I would made it in style of low-poly graphics from ps1 era, similiar to jrpg's like Legend Of Dragoon, Wild Arms, Legend Of Legaia and Final Fantasy 7.

This french darksynth artist is so good, they have been performing in some big festivals, even in metal music festivals, and I still feel like they are so overlooked.

Artist combines together elements from italo disco, horror synth and even some hard rock/heavy metal music.

Any fans of this brutal war metal duo here?

The most memed to death Final Fantasy game, which has some of the most so bad it's good dialogue (CHAOS!!!) and most dead serious FF prorag ever, yet the gameplay is really good and story suprisingly good, which when it's fully revealed makes this unhinged game one of the Final Fantasy games made.

As someone who in passed years has gotten more into jrpg genre, there was always this one thing that was puggin me: why there aren't more jrpg's where main characters are adults, it's always the teens and young adults.

I get it, young people are more into role-playing games and want to self-insert themself into them and escape harsh and cruel real world. But what about adults, don't they want that too? I thought there wasn't a jrpg that could fulfill that, then I discovered Yakuza: Like a Dragon, played it and it became one of my fave jrpg experience ever.

The whole experience is just fantastic, the gameplay, which is turn-based combat, is entirely based around the idea that the main character, Ichiban Kasuga, is a jrpg fan, specifically, a Dragon Quest fan, so he sees himself fighting like in turn-based combat, that's why he gives enemies "a turn" to fight back. And later when he finds a golden baseball bat, which is his "Hero's Sword" (or Hero's Bat in this case lol) he starts to see every enemy around him as these twisted versions of them in very schizophrenic way.

You know when in jrpg's you pick a job class for your characters, like fighter or mage, in this game jobs are literally "jobs", like for example: construction worker, breakdancer, security guard, pop singer a literal dominatrix are the jobs you select for your characters.

This game is a wild experience, and if you are looking a jrpg that isn't like the others, try Yakuza: Like a Dragon. (And don't worry, you don't have to play ALL the previous games to understand the story, game serves as it's own story.)

Jay Weinberg (yes that guy from Slipknot) really brings a needed kick to this band.

Raw, primal, punky and overall great album, not as great as "De Mysteriis" or "Chimera", but still worth of listening.

I mostly listen metal music but I kinda dig this "pop hardcore" style which the band is playing.

Mine are these three:

1. The Blood Of Dawnwalker - from the former devs of CDPR and The Witcher 3 comes this vampire themed role-playing experience where you play as normal human during the day and blood thristy vampire during night. Your actions shape the world and it's characters and how your story shapes due to them choises.

2. Onimusha: Way Of The Sword - Capcom's lesser known oni slaying dark fantasy hack-n-slash franchise comes back stronger than ever before and it looks great. And the best part is: combat is not a Soulslike, just pure samurai action combat gameplay.

3. Beast Of Reincarnation - This upcoming game might be this years biggest suprise, coming from the studio behind Pokemon games, Game Freak, where focus is far from the cuddly monster capture to futuristic post-apocalyptic monster slaying. Game devs are getting show their real skills as game devs and they do it with style.

I really liked, not as good as those old classics like "Madhouse" or "In My World", but it's good that they are still kicking around making music.🤘

Firstly and sadly, I have NEVER played the original, released way back in early 2000's, I was young and too busy playing Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk on PS2, so the PC side of gaming wasn't even my thing, but after all those years I have heard stories about it, this very difficult janky role-playing experience where you are NOBODY, not some chosen one figure, just a guy who's trying to survive.

While it's a remake of an old game which I never played, I really liked it, it's has a certain that many triple A rpg titles lack, it doesn't hold your hand at all.

Sure there is tutorials of how to combat in game, but the game trusts that player listens what it tells, like where to find ingredients for potions, and you are given directions like; "Go to east, near at woods, there's a cave with ingedients, but watch out for wolves", and you go there and die cuz your fighting skills are terrible and you have learned to dodge roll, that the Gothic experience.

The lack of modern rpg systems like map markers or a map in general, which you have to buy and it's NOT even a complete one, forces players to remember the locations and where are the points of interests, sure nowadays you can just look up everything online, but when you find that something on your own is a worthy of experiencing, Gothic Remake is worth of experiencing, we need more rpg's like this more than before.

Way before Amorphis became a mainstream band, they used to be an underground death metal band that was raw and full of energy.

I do love their mainstream stuff; Silver Bride, House Of Sleep, The Wanderer etc. are all great, but I find their old stuff worth of listening🤘
