Just like how Fallout is an open world game,

It's not.
Arcanum is an open world game, Fallout is not.

 

[Atlantico]

Because I'm not, that's just how the games are described. At the back of Skyrim's box, you're going to see "open world fantasy" describing the game. Not ARPG.

A game can be both.
Just like how Fallout is an open world game, with turn-based combat.

Yes, what exactly is your point? Diablo and clones are exclusively called ARPGs, while Skyrim needs more terms to define it.

Fallout 1 and 2 are hardly turn based open world games. Ultima V is a more proper example.

 

[Fowyr]

You seem to have an problem with reading comprehension. People do not use this term to describe their own games, you don't see this term used to describe products. It's not a thing.

Here you are.

That's not a game, that's some freeware garbage.

If you take my point in bad faith, then you can just go fuck yourself.

Don't.

 

[Sigourn]

How so? It's an Action RPG. So are many other games.

If you want to describe the totality of Skyrim's gameplay, you can go ahead and throw in open world into the mix. Doesn't stop Skyrim from being an Action RPG.

So... basically... just the same wankery that everyone always votes for, we all knew everyone would already vote for and we all already knew would be picked thus rendering the poll itself mostly a waste of time except for its emotional value as "remember the good old days" memberberries for the warm fuzzies as opposed to anything actually useful?

Next up: A poll asking users to vote on what the first 10 positive integers ascending from 0 are.

You forget the ego stroking part.

weird, I can't find blobber anywhere on the page. But I did find this:

The Bard's Tale Trilogy is a chance for old fans to be young once again and for a new generation of roleplaying and dungeon crawler fans to discover why these games matter so much all these years later. Pick up the game and start your epic adventure today!

About the game:

THE ULTIMATE CLASSIC STYLE TURN-BASED FANTASY ROLEPLAYING GAME!

After more than 20 years of development, the greatest roleplaying game of them all is finally ready for release! Grimoire is an homage to the classic dungeon blobbers and is inspired by Wizardry, Might & Magic, Lands of Lore, Anvil of Dawn, DungeonMaster and the Eye of the Beholder games!

No "blobber" there either. Not even Clefford describes is game as a "blobber". Should he have gone for "gridder" instead? If not, why not. Be specific.

Are you blind?

[Viata]

Fuck niggas. Infinitron should just create a new thread and move all those posts about "is blobber the right term for blobber games?".

 

[Fowyr]

That's not a game, that's some freeware garbage.

It's one of the best dungeon crawlers that I played recently, and I played a lot of them, dear retard. And by the way, yes, it's a blobber.

 

[Moonrise]

I'm glad you finally came around, but manifesting in the game is kind of a circuitous way to tell me, don't you think?

 

[Jasede]

Didn't vote due to exile but BaK is my absolute favorite RPG of that year and it is the only game that comes to mind when I think of "Good writing in an RPG" other than Avellone stuff.

 

[Atlantico]

Doesn't stop Skyrim from being an Action RPG.

Again, what's your point? Who are you arguing with and about what?

Actually, nvm I don't care.

Are you blind?

lol of course cleffie is retarded enough to piss on his garbage game with codex lingo.

It's one of the best dungeon crawlers that I played recently, and I played a lot of them, dear retard. And by the way, yes, it's a blobber.

As if what you like changes anything. Someone thinks highly of himself.

At the end of the day, it's a garbage freeware shit game that nobody is trying to sell.

You took my point in bad faith and I told you to go fuck yourself. I stand by that.

Go fuck yourself.

This is like arguing with trannies. No your game isn't a blobber and you will never be a woman.

 

[Fowyr]

And JRPGs are blobbers.

Some of them? Sure. Wizardry was a formative game for early JRPGs.
They are not my purview per se, but quick search shows SMT.

SMT used top-down perspective for its global map, though, so it's not a perfect example.
On the other hand, some Western DM-likes used similar top-down global map. For example, Abandoned Places 2.

 

[Sigourn]

Again, what's your point? Who are you arguing with and about what?

Are you stupid?

You were the one who claimed Gothic and Skyrim aren't referred to as Action RPGs, when last time I checked everyone does. Take a look at the Top 101 PC RPGs reviews.

Gothic II (along with its expansion) is both the greatest open-world RPG, and the greatest action RPG ever made bar none.

The first game in the Gothic series is smaller, clunkier, and more difficult to get into than its classic sequel, but once you do break the initial barrier of a somewhat bizarre control scheme and dying every five minutes (some might consider this a plus) you'll discover a uniquely atmospheric and surprisingly well-designed open-world action RPG..

Dragon's Dogma is probably one of the best - if not the best - implementations of the Action RPG concept in the industry.

you should play The Witcher if you are looking for an atmospheric action RPG

You can expect all the Piranha Bytes trademarks in Elex (...) third-person attack-parry-dodge action RPG combat

Automata is solid a third-person action RPG

And more.

Posting the back of a fucking box means jackshit, else we will start using box art to determine whether a game is an RPG or not. Who knew settling the "what is an RPG" was as easy as saying "just look at the box!".

 

[Atlantico]

You were the one who claimed Gothic and Skyrim aren't referred to as Action RPGs, when last time I checked everyone does.

No, I literally never claimed that. It's your massive inability to read that's the problem.

I also said I didn't care what you though you were arguing against/for because you're a retard.

Fucking sudacos.

 

[Sigourn]

No, I never claimed that. It's your massive inability to read that's the problem.

A retard with bad memory.

But Skyrim and Gothic are Open World ARPGs, not the same thing.

An Open World ARPG IS STILL AN ACTION RPG.

You are being a dense motherfucker and a gutless one too because you refuse to admit you were wrong.

 

[Dexter]

And JRPGs are blobbers.

Yes.

 

[Atlantico]

An Open World ARPG IS STILL AN ACTION RPG.

And it's still and RPG. So what? That doesn't mean it's an ARPG like Diablo, sudaco shithead.

 

[Jasede]

But first we must ask, what is an RPG?
