There's no such thing as "future rpg players". Nobody under 25 years old plays RPGs anymore

[Zlaja]

I don't like Hack & Slash games and action RPGs.

That's nice and all BUT you should still play Gothic 1 and 2.

Man, certain people are telling me this for 13 years. But every time I want to install the damned thing something happens and I had to put it aside for later.

Stop eating Maggi noodles

Urban myth in SEA: Eat too much Maggi 2-minute noodles = get white hair.

 

[Wayward Son]

Dunno wtf Maggi is but I’ll eat her out regardless

I'm 20 and I love RPGs.

You don't love it, believe me. Imagine carrying this thing across your back during 20km cross-country running exercise.

All of You young maggots, ha ha ha .

To treat the topic half seriously, I think the success of stuff like Divinity 2 shows there will be "RPG" fans for a long time to come. Whether that fits your personal definition I dunno, but it's a lot closer than Assassin's Creed and Witcher 3.

Witcher 3 was nice action packed game, almost like Tomb Raider, except tits of Geralt are much smaller, calling it rpg only shows why AC:Valhalla will be considered full scale crpg now by masses of young hipsters etc.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

I didn't know RPGs were even a thing when I was playing them.

I just thought Buck Rogers, Morrowind and Fallout 1 & 2 were fun as fuck.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

But everything is an RPG now.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

If you like Wizardry, 40
If you like Baldur's Gate, 30
If you like Skyrim, 20
If you like Disco Elysium, 10
If you like Mobile Games, 0

I would add 10-20 years.

RPGs are more fun than fucking, in the same sense that firewater was more fun than fighting off the previous conquerors.

NO MORE EXCUSES!

Most of the 5 year olds are really 17 year olds.

Definitely (most of the time, anyway).

firewater was more fun than fighting off the previous conquerors

Sorry, you've lost me here. Care to elaborate? (have more than enough firewater inside right now)

More fun than fucking an aging woman you've been fucking for decades, anyway.

 

[Tweed]

If you like Disco Elysium, 10

Don't you mean 45 to life?

No. I have confidence you can figure it out for yourself.

Fun probably not the best metric for life decisions if one would rather not be conquered.

I'm 19; turning 20 in a few months. I've been playing RPGs for as long as I can remember. I started playing JRPGs with my dad (Earthbound and Final Fantasy) and ARPGs with my grandfather (Diablo 1 and 2). I got into 'regular' CRPGs like Fallout or Baldur's Gate around age 11 or 12.

This is most certainly not the norm, but what are you going to do? Genres are arbitrary anyway, and I think it's not necessary to be protective of an abstract category of video games.

For the time being, people still enjoy RPGs and will continue to do so. As time goes on, I think less and less young people will be interested, as is the way with all media.

Love what you love, and cherish it for what it is. I wouldn't worry too much about what the future holds because, in time, all this will pass; video games as a medium will probably be unrecognizable in 100 years anyway. The present is all that matters, and for the time being there are still some developers making products for us to enjoy. Most people my age won't like it, but who cares?

Any of us that are here all love the same thing. Nothing beyond that matters. That beautiful connection is really special, especially for a niche sub category like ours.

ARPGs with my grandfather (Diablo 1 and 2)

How old is your grandpa?
