Decline I don't actually like RPGs

[Pink Eye]

You remind me of my brother. He didn't like certain foods. But when you trick him into eating them. He realizes it wasn't so bad. And actually likes them. In other words. I think you just played the wrong games. Go play Age of Decadence. It will prepare you for the awesomeness of Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game! Then you can sort yourself out by playing some Knights of the Chalice. Afterwards, brush your teeth with some Dark Sun and Ravenloft.

I mean, there is some appeal to playing them, I guess. But not much beyond the novelty of playing a game for the first time. Or something. Perhaps I will go back and replay one of them someday. But there's nothing interesting about the genre itself. I guess I actually WOULD prefer playing strategy games instead. RPGs just kind of make me wish I were playing some kind of action-adventure game or something. Stats and equipment are boring. Excessive dungeon crawls and magic battles are boring. That shit is for autists. Roleplaying? WTF? Who cares? At least it's still just a video game. On the other hand, actual Tabletop RPGs... actual roleplay... that's just absurd. Who in his right mind would choose that as a hobby? Are you all aliens or something?

You're fuckin dead

No one here does. The ones who say they do are just pretending.

 

[Drowed]

I like Underrail.

Therefore, I like RPGs.

 

[Ladonna]

but that's because they aren't RPGs

What is an RPG?

 

[Ol' Willy]

Some of my all-time favourite games are happen to be RPGs

I'd rather play popamole than spreadsheets.

I see the term 'spreadsheets' used a lot—as a pejorative, but computers need numerical values to compare.
A PC's stats are the limitations that give a sense of their physical and emotional aspects; where a Charisma of 9 and a Charisma of 2 could mean the difference between Tony Robbins and Tony Clifton.

This should affect their effect upon others, and how they are treated in kind. All other stats should be similarly extrapolated for their own effects upon what the PC can and cannot accomplish—or get away with.

Skills too. The PC should be able to succeed or (more importantly) fail by their own aptitudes; the skills and talents they have.

What passes for RPGs these days are mostly empowerment fantasy.

I don't actually like furfaggots but I don't go to your websites to make attention seeking threads about that fact. If you don't like RPGs you should self eject and go to reddit. You'll find a place to get info on and discuss whatever games you are actually into. Nobody expects you to like RPGs or any particular hobby until you join a fan community devoted to that hobby.

People who think JRPGs look good are degenerate scum.

Ah... so it is just empowerment fantasy that you want—not role playing.

imagine thinking you can discuss things on reddit

dafuq you say bitch. you spoke about decline so I rated it decline. I don't give a shit about either

 

[Glop_dweller]

I get it; my mistake... force of habit though. So many mean it the other way.

 

[Morenatsu.]

I actually wanted to use ‘meh’ but I'm a poor level 1 poaster I dont have those skillz

 

[Morenatsu.]

Playing RPGs is like reading books.

That is, retards think it actually makes you smart.

The gameplay is shit but it's worth it for the anime.

If you think anime is shit you can fucking kill yourself because your shitty western rpg settings are the epitome of banalshitboring

 

[Glop_dweller]

It's odd how many times Planescape [superb RPG IMO] gets aspersed by calling it a book; as in "If I wanted to read a book, I would not have played a game". Fantastic RPG.

 

[Morenatsu.]

I agree, it's a really good adventure game that is also an RPG.

 

[Ol' Willy]

If you think anime is shit

I wanted to post a couple of pics of some animu shit as a counterargument but I started violently vomiting just looking at these abominations so there would be no pics here

 

[Morenatsu.]

Is everything that's not an RPG ‘popamole’? I don't remember saying I preferred Xbox 360 games. I'm capable of playing RPGs. But the gameplay gives me no real enjoyment at all. All of the entertainment would be from other aspects, but those are crap most of the time too. Your hobby is shit and so are you.

Anime turns people into degenerate fruitloops.

Only sterile-brained retards use the word ‘degenerate’. And hate anime. And like RPGs. And stuff.

The OP is degenerate anime-lover which hopes to be raped by tentacles and/or his little sister. Case solved, let's discuss what is RPG now.

[Zibniyat]

You could have it worse OP. You could be liking garbage RPGs, which are most of them especially the popular ones, and discussing them at length in their megathreads. Imagine, for instance, participating in discussions about Mass Effect romances.

There are good RPGs and you are free to make a thread about them, to discuss something you found interesting. At least you have a choice to not be a connoisseur of shit like many here who discuss them at length regardless of how shallow and retarded the topic is.

 

[Bastardchops]

Someone else brought me here, anyway.

It would actually be pretty funny if you were posting here against your will.
