RPG Community |OT| Take the Epoch to a New Era

[Deleted member 6137]

Time to do this. I will be listing any upcoming 2018 role playing games for 2018 and onward. I will NOT be sorting by release date. Instead, I will sort the list by the type of game it is. It's more of a broad stroke, but I hope that people will like the format. When a game releases, I will post about it in this thread. Already released 2018 games will not be listed.

NOTE: this post will be continuously be updated. I'm beginning with PC games as I am copying the list from my RPGCodex thread. Console games will have its own post.

Alright, I'll start on the console list.

For now, it won't be formatted, I'll work on that as I go. Thought I'd write some games down to get me started. I got a few games for now. FiveSide You can make the thread whenever you want. I had nothing to do, so I just posted a few games. This'll probably be done by the end of the week. Being realistic, I doubt we'll see many rpg announcements that will have a factor on these lists.

NSW = Nintendo Switch
PS4 = PlayStation 4
PSV - PlayStation Vita

Happy Sunday~

We wanted to invite our friends here in the OT to join us in the next season of the RPG Blitz, which will start on March 1st. It's a program that we've been running since November in the discord to have members tackle their backlogs with a little incentive to do so (beyond just chipping away at the ever-growing pile of games). This program has nothing to do with the Backlog Blitz on the front page, we just lovingly borrowed the name last year and put our own spin on it. We had 29 people join us for the pilot/first season. In total, 62 RPGs on the list were completed. Not too bad~ We had a bit of overlap on games, which was great because people playing the games at the same time made it feel like a mini RPG Club. Most notably, we had 6-7 of us all playing through Mother 1, hence the sudden influx of write-ups a few pages back.

So, how does it work?

***Updated for Season 5***

Overview
Members will select up to five (5) games from their backlog for their list. Upon completing the game, you'll receive one (1) point/entry for the raffle at the very end. The RPG Club Theme game will be worth two (2) points. The Blitz will go for three months at a time, with a month of break/downtime between in which Mini Blitzes will take place. The three month time frame is to be accommodating to all types of players with different degrees of patience, focus, and time. From those who can knock out a 40-hour RPG in a week to those who can only finish one a season, we wanted to give everyone a fair shot and not feel pressured to complete a game in a time limit.

The downtime/off-season is to give us time to perform the raffle, distribute the prizes, gather feedback, make any changes, add new features/bonuses, and prepare for the next one as well as let people focus on new releases. During this downtime, however, a themed mini-blitz will run. These are not usually tied to RPGs, so we don't really post about it much in this thread. Mini-blitzes will be more open in regards to rules with a smaller maximum number of games and less restrictions overall due to the shorter runtime.

At the end of the Blitz season, we'll perform the aforementioned raffle which will include prizes such as store credit (Amazon, eShop, PSN, Steam, XBL) and game keys (often Steam keys unless we get our hands on some other platform codes.)

Rules

• Your list should only consist of RPGs and the many subgenres, variants, and RPG-adjacent games.
  • We don't really police choices or argue what is and what isn't an RPG, but we may ask you to choose something else if you pick something like Call of Duty just because it has XP. If there is a good argument and you feel that a game has enough RPG elements to qualify, please feel free to add it. Just note that other participants may question the choice so your explanation/justification may be called upon.
• You can swap out games for any reason.
  • This is more to help combat choice paralysis and encourage focusing on a game. However, you shouldn't be punished for not liking a game 10hrs in.
• Your list should consist of games released prior to the season starting.
  • We encourage people to dig deeper into their backlog, but we also believe that preventing a game from being tossed into the pile is just as important. If a single game from your list releases shortly after the blitz starts, we'll likely accept it as there is a two week grace period.
• Do not be rude, disrespectful, or overly negative of other users list choices.
  • This isn't to prevent criticism by any means. Everyone has different tastes and opinions. Feel free to criticize games as you wish, just try to avoid targeting a user. What we want to avoid is a situation where someone feels like they shouldn't enjoy or even play the games they have listed. (e.g. stating "User X has shit taste because they picked XYZ.", "I can't believe anyone would bother playing ABCIV.", "Imagine being a fan of Game/Company." etc.)

F.A.Q.

Q. Why doesn't this have its own thread?
A. We'd like to keep it contained to our little community here.

Q. Is this replacing the RPG Club?
A. The RPG Club has been rolled into the blitz as a themed entry worth two points. The RPG Club threads may return in the future, but it is currently on hiatus.

Q. If some of us are playing the same game, do we have to play at the same time?
A. No, like the RPG Club, it's generally asynchronous group playthroughs/lets play. Feel free to sync up with someone if you wish though.

Q. I just saw this after the season started. Can I join late?
A. Absolutely, just be aware you have less time than everyone who started when the season started given the hard stop date.

Q. Do I have to select five games?
A. Nope! You can do one if you want.

Q. Can I add games later?
A. Yes! But please make sure the game was released prior to the blitz starting (or within the grace period.)

Q. Does order matter?
A. Nope! But the 5th slot is where you'll put the RPG Club Theme game.

Q. Do I need to beat all five games to win anything?
A. Absolutely not. Finishing one game will get you an entry into the raffle. People who finish more simply have more chances is all.

Q. What if I drop a game? Can I replace it?
A. Absolutely. The rule has evolved over time to be more flexible with people's lives and schedules. If you drop a game for any reason, we do appreciate a note of why. This doesn't affect your blitz and its not required, but its considered feedback. (E.g. dropping War of Fantasy: Origins as I can't stomach the characters any longer.)

Q. Can I beat more than 5 games for more entries?
A. To make it fair for those with less time/focus, we're capping it at 5 games for you to receive entries on for the blitz.

Q. Am I required to beat all five games?
A. Nope! Go at your own pace. We selected five as a maximum to ensure everyone has a fair shot.

Q. Am I required to be in the discord to participate?
A. No. We understand that not everyone likes discord/our particular discord. We've rolled the blitz out to everyone in the OT with season 2. You're welcome to join if you wish.

Q. Do remasters, late ports, and remakes count?
A. Remasters with additional content will not count towards the replay limit. Remakes will count as new. Late ports released after the season starts are allowed as long as the original was released prior.

Q. Do replays count?
A. While replays are accepted, we ask that your list be primarily unfinished games. The majority of your list should be unfinished games.

Q. Can I use an old save?
A. Of course. If you have an old save where you stopped for whatever reason, feel free to pick it back up and complete it from there.

Q. If I fail to complete a game in a blitz, can I include it in my list on the next?
A. Yes, you can include any game with any amount of progress in a blitz, even if it was in a previous blitz but unfinished.

Q. Is proof required?
A. A screenshot or picture helps, but we will largely be using the honor system unless it's abused. Write-ups and general thoughts in the thread/server certainly are encouraged.

Q. Why 3-months?
A. We don't want to create an unfair advantage towards people with more time or focus than others. We also don't want people to shirk new games and dump them into their backlog.

Q. Why is it called a blitz if we're not rushing or speeding through?
A. We're going off the definition of blitz as a coordinated effort to achieve something and not so much a quick rush.

Q. Can I donate prizes/keys?
A. If you'd like to donate a key or a prize, feel free. We ask that you hang onto it until the raffle though.

Q. I don't live in the US. Am I still eligible for prizes?
A. Yes, but please note that it may take us some time to get your credit to you. Steam keys should be global, but storefronts are often regionalized and require some jumping through hoops to get a card in your currency. The last ditch effort is to just paypal you the funds, but if you don't feel comfortable sharing your paypal info, we can find another option.

We hope you'll join us for this season. We had a lot of fun in here and the discord talking up what we thought about the games, playing together, giving live updates, making journal entries, recaps, write-ups, reviews, and more. It's always been about driving discussion in a positive manner, so we hope to continue that with the larger community here. The preliminary list is live now and it'll be locked on March 1st. A lot of us are planning on playing Earthbound together. A few of us will be catching up on the Trails series with Sky SC. Some members look like they'll be playing some classics they never got around to, checking out what the Wii U had to offer, dipping their toes into the vast world of CRPGs, and delving into PC Engine games.

If you'd like to join, just write your username on the sheet and fill in your list of five games. The names will be alphabetized later so it'll be easier to read/find yourself/others. Below are the links to the spreadsheet we have as well as a link to the discord if you're interested in joining us there. You can also find the discord link in the OP.
