Petition to change CRPG acronym to Classic Role Playing Game

No, the C stands for Computer.
Otherwise all the console kiddies are going to claim "Classic RPG? Why of course, that stands for early JRPGs on the Super Nintendo and Playstation!"

 

[Zarniwoop]

Kids these days are too retarded to know what classic even means.

No jokes, I saw someone refer to the 2016 Doom as "the original".

Unironically thought it stood for 'console' for the first year or so after encountering the term.

It's never been a very useful category, and it's significantly worse now that there's so little difference between computers and consoles, especially in regards to rpgs.

Who browses shit via categories any more anyways? Tag based systems are far more useful, and if you're dealing with people, simply referencing a particular game is the way to go. "Recommend me a good crpg" is like saying "Recommend me a good haircut."

JRPGs were a part of the CRPG genre at first, that is, non tabletop RPGs, but later people had to distinguish them from western PC RPGs because, althought mechanically similar, most JRPGs never tried to emulate a pen and paper experience, they were just trying to emulate Wizardry at best.

I think we should start calling them Nigger Playing Games.

 

[NecroLord]

None can claim "classic" status unless they have proven to have stood the test of time and gained a devoted following.

 

[Serus]

I think we should start calling them Nigger Playing Games.

As opposed to CNRPG - Classic Nigger Role-Playing Game... or is it Computer Nigger....?

 

[Sergio]

I've been referring to cRPG as "classic role playing games" since the early 2000's and I'm not gonna stop now.

I SIGNED THE PETITION!

Anything to let people know instantly I don't play degenerate Obshitian/Bioware trash. Idk if it will gain any traction though.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

No, C stands for Chinese.

 

[NecroLord]

No, C stands for Chinese.

Confucius say modern western rpgs full of degenerate and gay.
Shamefur dispray, ancestor cry.

The C was meant to separate computer RPGs from tabletop RPGs, dummies. Back when computer RPGs were only played by a small subset of nerds, and "RPG" meant the tabletop activity by default.

 

[dutchwench]

I always thought cRPG stands for crappy role playing game.
I guess you learn something new every day

NPG already stands for non-playable game. It refers to titles like Gone Home and Disco Elysium that don't actually feature gameplay.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I am fond of Cypriot RPGs.

 

[Konjad]

Is Oblivion a classic?

Thanks,

But it does.

 

[Spukrian]

I'm so annoyed by the trend among younger people that think CRPGs only refer to isometric games, games with other viewpoints are something else.

 

[HumanTotemPole]

Leave it as is. Classic is too subjective as a descriptor.

 

[Dark Souls II]

Cunny RPGs? Why sure, here's my recommendations:

1. Black Souls
2. Black Souls II
3. Littlewitch Romanesque - Visual Novel with RPG elements
4. Free Cities: Pregmod (with Lolimod) - elaborate city builder / sex slave simulator with RPG elements
5. Witchspring R
