What are your Unpopular RPG Opinions?

[just]

conversations should never be longer than 100 words. you can always make your point, complain about something, give quest and throw some quick lore in 100 words or less
bonus opinion: game should never exceed 10k words, that includes item descriptions and all the random shit

 

[The Jester]

RTwP is superior to Turn Base.

Don't say that. Don't ever say that. You're too young. You have too much hope. You are the young blood of today. Don't do this. Don't die with me on this hill.

Stay here... where it's warm...

Promise me... promise me you will never do this.

PROMISE ME.

NO BROTHER! WE DOING THIS TOGETHER!
For a very long time we hid in the shadows.
We were silent for a very long time.
We listened.
We let them feed us the belief that we are inferior!
Not anymore !
"Breaking the chains"
We are few but united! Those who are united, their voices will be heard beyond history!
Even if we get crushed under the boots!
Even if we suffocate with an iron fist!
Even if our body is chained in dungeons!
They will never be able to stop the flight of our souls to the eternity and beyond!

Exploration and adventure are the most fun elements of the genre.

Ideally an rpg would communicate stats/classes/abilities through lore and aesthetics.

Player skill and stats should both be part of gameplay.

There should be viable playthroughs for smart warriors, unwise wizards, and magic incompetent clerics.

Reading should compromise a majority of the activity.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Witcher 3 combat was fun (albeit repetitive).

 

[V_K]

Bethesda is the most competent AA/AAA RPG developer currently active.

 

[Avarize]

Third person and even first person are better than isometric.

I would add that the genre would be much better if the renaissance had tried to recreate Gothic instead of Baldur's Gate.

 

[The Jester]

FNV is just as shit as Fallout 3. Go on, rate me retarded, retards.

New Vegas had the best romance in RPG history, which alone puts it above Fallout 3.

YES, IT IS, BUT RTWP INTRODUCES CHAOS AND ON-THE-FLY THINKING THAT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS.

Arachnid, are you sure you do not confuse RT with RTwP?

Real Tarantulas with Preys.

I like trash mobs because I like the power fantasy.

 

[The Jester]

I used to do drugs with the money that mother had set aside for my education.

Yet another thread where RTwP fags are coming out of the closet.

 

[Ol' Willy]

One thing I admired about FO3 was that it felt almost impossible to go everywhere, do everything, and see it all in one playthrough.

Is this a bad joke? Its perfectly possible to see and do everything in Fagout 3. There is no limitations - no build, no factions, nothing that will limit you aside from your patience.

Arachnid, are you sure you do not confuse RT with RTwP?

For me the pause happens when things are too late and I stare down at the keyboard, head in hands, and wonder where my life went wrong.

Then I reload.

Ah, it must be a disadvantage of being an eight legged entity trying to work with a keyboard designed for humies.

 

[OSK]

I like when games add the Firaxis XCOM style cover system. It's definitely "gamey," but it helps you quickly assess how much cover your character has and in which directions.

 

[Falksi]

Fallout 3 is a fun, once through playthrough

Dragon Age:Origins is flawed, but still brilliant.

Witcher 2 is brilliant & the best in the series.

Fuckloads of games in the "All time 100" list are simply too dated now for someone who's new to them, to be able to get into without some serious dedication.

 

[Semiurge]

Who's this and what's he done to Vernon Roche?

... as he was remembered from Witcher 2

 

[RickOmbo]

There are no rpgs with good combat.

 

[rpg_ghoul]

There are no rpgs with good combat.

Morrowind, Fallout 1 and SPERMF have good combat

What are your Unopular RPG Opinions? Is X game overrated? Is X series overrated? Does x thing make game bad? You tell me.

anime is good

 

[d1r]

There are no rpgs with good combat.

Come on, man.

Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Suikoden 2, Dragon's Dogma

And that's just right out of my head. What exactly are you looking for if no RPG ever could please you combat-wise?

 

[Sweeper]

Divinity Original Sin 2 is the worst RPG in existence.
Underrail and Pathfinder Kingmaker are better than the classics.
Also
RTwP > TB

Fallout 1, Fallout 2,

He said good combat.

Having a single immutable storyline is better than having one with branching paths.
