Pentiment is not even a video game. Does it have fail states?

An rpg doesn't have to have a narrative. Character customization just isn't enough either. Pentiment is simply a casual adventure game.

In current year, it's better if RPGs don't have narrative. There might be a universe where the video game industry is filled with great writers instead of useless, talent-less hacks.

We don't live there.

Is it good?

As a game. I found Yes, Your Grace to be a deceitful waste of time, but I can appreciate good narrative if the gameplay is not fucking with me.

I dont disagree, mind.

But an official studio will be hardpressed when people ask them why their games dont have narratives. Why not when writers are dime a dozen and nobody read their talentless writings anyway.

The true answer "because our writers suck so we avoid narratives" is NOT a good answer, no matter throwing at outsiders, or admit to inner circle.

This is office politic AND marketing aspect~

Sawyer claims that Wizardry is not an RPG "anymore". What the hell does "anymore" mean? It sounds very political.

This "definitions change over time" horseshit belongs in poltiics. It belongs to people who debate whether there exists more than two genders or not. Miss me with that shit.

I have played Pillars and followed Sawyer for a long time. He literally lost his compass. Both in a sense of RPG design, and as a person. Dude is a hipster who was driven insane by politics and twitter. He is probably vaxxed too.

EDIT: Why am I not surprised.



What a tool. :lol:

Every adventure game and visual novel can now be argued to be an RPG, after you absolute retards not only decided that Disco Elysium is one, but even voted it in as RPG of the year. Face the consequences of the decline you brought here, cucks.
