I can't seem to finish any RPGs

It's a Jap game, of course you'll be grinding for hours.

It's basically modern Wizardry 5

RPG Codex would love this game

Why is Geert Wilders a jew all of a sudden?

Wiz5 doesn't have 160 hours of grinding. And it's NPCs are silly, not dumb.

I had the same problem with Dostoevskij's novels.

...I've played probably around 20-30 RPGs, but the only one I actually finished and enjoyed to the very end was Divinity Original Sin 2...

They'll post about Baldur's Gate and I remember I quit before I even got to the actual city of Baldur's Gate. They'll post about Pillars of Eternty and I remember I quit soon after reaching Elm's Reach...

How you were able to finish DOS 2 but quit Baldur's Gate before reaching the city is absolutely beyond me.
As for PoE, when you get to Elm's Reach the game is almost done. Invest just a couple more hours...

It took me 5 to 6 years to get to Baldur's Gate.

My rule is... finish a rpg in 2 days otherways its not roleplaying anymore

 

[Viata]

And if you're not a kid (OP) I suggest you take up fishing

There are also some fishing rpg, OP. You may finish them.

FWIW, after I made a chronological play list I complete nearly all games I start.

Making a play list eliminates the choice paralysis.

I'm finishing up Tyranny. I hate this fucking game, but I'm doing it goddammit! Cuz that's what heroes do.

I've definitely felt this way here and there. You're playing a mediocre RPG and you just want to be DONE but it keeps going and you're like "I'm not giving up!" Just had this experience with Greedfall recently.

 

[Garbage]

Just play Gothic. If you get bored it's pretty easy to cheese and start getting the best weapons in the game.

"I Can't seem to get a hard-on" (Said about 90% of Codexers in informal sondage)


Got point though. Proper RPGs are big games with complicated systems.
Although I luuve a game like Arcanum, I've probably only finished it...once ? or Twice? (I can replay the starting areas over and over again, though)


Yeah, ideallyRPGS should not be too long and it's rare if a can game retain my interest more than 20hours. Prefer a short and good experience

This year I played the behemoths of the genre, 120-hour games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Underrail and a few 80-hour halfgiants like Divinity: Original Sin and Atom RPG. So, shorter games, like 20-hour long Game of Thrones or Of Orcs and Men seemed really refreshing. Not to mention Disco Elysium which gave me an elegant 27 hours of enjoyment (an experience that would propably become tedious if it was twice longer). So yeah, I second the statement - good experience without much filler is okay in my book.

 

[just]

grown men like myself don't play games, just watch the trailers (sometimes even the gameplay trailer) and shitpost about them on forums
days of collecting trash and talking to npcs are long gone

Assassins Creed Odyssey is a rpg now? Did you play Underrail 3 times or did you clear out everything?

I'm finishing up Tyranny. I hate this fucking game, but I'm doing it goddammit! Cuz that's what heroes do.

That approach really isn't healthy. If you hate a game you should just stop playing.
You can still come back later.

 

[Lord_Potato]

Assassins Creed Odyssey is an action rpg, sure. Not the best one, but I'm a sucker for ancient Greece.

I finished Underrail once, but it was quite completionist playthrough, with Expedition.

 

[overly excitable young man]

Ah ok. I can't stand Addons and DLC, even when they are well made.
Except Gothic 2, but that one is so well integrated it is a whole other game.

I have added a noble mission to my bucket list: COMPLETE GRIMOIRE!

I will be my life's work
