That's not true at all @C1PHER. How can you max out everything when there are fewer and fewer stats to Max with each entry?
lol 😠lol ðŸ˜
You max out all available stats, which are all now based around killing things
hit the attack button for massive damage
That is sad and funny at the same time
That would be close to my definition as well. An RPG is a game where success or failure has more to do with dice rolls than player skill.
Eww.
I actually really like TES3 and KOTOR for that
Relying on dice roll is boring
I hated thay
RNG requires blood sacrifices 😉
Clicking and guaranteeing a hit is predictable
thats fine, but delineation is what makes it an RPG really. Vidya RPGs are an offshoot of D&D
RPGs need to move past dnd roots
Otherwise it's just boring
define "move beyond"
Holy crap. I just realized that by my definition, XCOM is more of an RPG than Dark Souls. I'm actually pretty okay with that.
I could just play Dnd if I wanted to play DnD
you can just play a shooter if you want a shooter
there's no need to "evolve" RPGs into shooters
they're in a weird spot right now. I'd argue they had already devolved
but now we're getting some cool shit
Like? I gave up on shooters so have not been following lately
I never said RPGs need to become shooters
a lot of indie titles. Ion Maiden, Dusk, etc
Squad is a good one
sort've not new though
no, I just used shooters as an example because thats the progression for Fallout
from RPG to really simplistic shooter
They gave it more mass appeal. It was a smart move
a smart business move, sure. But that's not what we're talking about
That's right. Your purity tests
Another great argument...
yeah, $$$ != good, fa sho
it's just categorization
similarly, if I talked about my conservative friend, who is an anti constitutional socialist, but they're christian, you'd probably feel like I was taking you for a ride
@wolfman1911 and lol, ive had so many esoteric convos about Dark Souls to the point where people have convinced me not to like it anymore 😢
categories are important for conveying information. The more we dilute categories, the worse our ability to convey what it is we want, or dont want
I've never liked the pacing of Soulsborne
Basically the tl;dr that killed my enjoyment is being told they are crappy games with irritating combat to give the impression of difficulty. just fluff and no substance ðŸ˜
