[QUOTE=blockhead;18767171]what rpgs do you like christsimpson?[/QUOTE]

I have seen you talk about "JRPGs" in here. I love those types of games. don't consider them RPGs in any way whatsoever, but thought I'd mention that I love them anyway, heh. especially Final Fantasy IX and Chrono Trigger.

the best games that I consider digital RPGs (as in games that actually allow role-playing):
Neverwinter Nights
Baldur's Gate
Planescape Torment

[QUOTE=christsimpson;18767172]let me guess... you think Japanese adventure games qualify as role-playing games...[/QUOTE]

they're not 'technically' but they are widely considered to be rpgs and that's what everyone refers to them as

Planescape Torment

figures. all the games that are about as awesome as watching paint dry

@blockhead I apologise for sounding snarky. but when you've played pen & paper RPGs, you might get annoyed that railroad-adventure games that have no resemblance to RPGs are referred to as RPGs. I furthermore accept that there are minor elements of role-playing in those games.

Christsimpson is one of those "anything that isn't DnD isn't an RPG" type folks, eh?

not surprised

cant say i am either.

extrapolation is not the opposite of interpolation

there are a probably a million great RPGs out there, not just DnD. but RPGs for a computer is incredibly difficult, due to the fact that a computer can't adapt the environment on the fly. there are very few games that successfully do this. pw Neverwinter Nights does it, and World of Warcraft with RP-addons do it - though somewhat outside of the "actual game".

don't get me wrong, DnD is loads of fun, but to say a game like Skyrim or Mass Effect isn't role playing because there is a characteristic already applied to your character is just ridiculous

whatever, I meant d20

that's not what anyone is saying either.

there are a lot of great non-D20 games as well.

I'm not offended. Most JRPGs are really linear with a few sidequests and some customization. I like chrono trigger, ff6, ff7, ff9 and earthbound a lot. I tried to play Suikoden but got really bored with it.

Oblivion and Skyrim bored me to tears.

Haven't played DnD in ages, would probably be fun to play again.

a shooter... [I]how plebeian[/I]

shooters are like the linkin park of videogames in my honest opinion

not even trying to troll

when i think of those games i think of 12 year olds playing them on xbox live because that's the target audience

If any of you homos went to my school you would've got beaten up.

Brent is prolly straighter than you alex (srs), and he's an actual elf not a pretend 1.

@blockhead
Morrowind is a lot better than those games. they are quite honestly shit. Morrowind suffers from the same amount of bugs and piss poor programming, but it is a much better designed game.

I can maybe consider Oblivion and Skyrim RPGs, because they do in fact allow you to create a role and so forth. but they lack a DM. what makes a DM (Dungeon Master - aka GM (Game Master) and a bunch of other acronyms, heh) so crucial, is that he can feed off the player(s), and alter the experience based on in-game and out-of-game feedback both. this won't happen in Oblivion or Skyrim. and the stories and gameplay is not fruitful enough to warrant a play-through based on either.

anyway, I can definitely understand those games not appealing to you. "JRPGs" are far more direct and focused, and consequently more action-packed, and with a vivid and breathing story in which often a bunch of interesting characters develop deep relationships. it's like a well-directed film, where many western RPGs are more like a sand pit. here's a spade - have fun.

but if they had a DM... a director... they could make the game fun for you, or anyone else, based on feedback. this is one of the biggest strengths of getting together with your mates to play DnD instead.

sorry for the tl;dr. it was just interesting and nice to get any other response than "shut up faggot", heh.

most recent shooters claim to focus on realism but then they play like unreal tournament, it's weird

but I agree

best shooters are the ones that try and be realistic to the point where it's painful or shooters that are arcade-y as fuck

[QUOTE=blockhead;18767193]

they aren't

i mean console games in general are targeted at kids, young men or families

12 year olds are just very visible on games like CoD because the community is very broad, chaotic and aggressive

I love FF7 and JRPG's. I don't play them anymore cuz I have betta things to do and don't have the patience anymore but I still kill it in CoD. But I only play CoD with friends

Anyway can we make fun of Fingas? I rememba him saying he'd play [B]FF together with 3-4 friends.[/B] I don't make fun of ppl with love of video games who even take an a elitist stance but wow is Fingas and his friends faggots.

[QUOTE=christsimpson;18767160]but you catch my drift.[/QUOTE]

it's a snow drift, and the only thing i do with it is carve my name in piss

DnD is like 10000000x better than any video game

if you have friends

Nah goron, Smash Bros > all you fag.

Srs if you don't enjoy a few casual drinks with friends and smashing a few games of Mario Kart 64 and Smash Bros, than you're a fag.

nope

DnD is probably good except for one thing: the peeps who play it

I've always wanted to play DnD i think I might like it a lot. And yeah I like JRPGs because of the story and I like the turn based battle system a lot more than action RPGs. I've never played Morrowind but everyone says it's way better than Oblivion or Skyrim. What about it is so different/better?

So who's this Blazey dude?

I like a lot of shooters. just like I like all genres of music, I like all genres of games (and films, and books, and so on).

there are different types of shooters, and they have different attractions. if I allow myself to substitute the word "shooter" with the phrase that came with the id games of the '90s - FPS, I can talk about this a bit more broadly.

Blood, DOOM and Quake (1) are great examples of early FPS. their strengths are a sinister mood, well-designed levels and really evil monsters. (and in the case of Blood, an equally evil and awesome protagonist.) it's all about the mood and the visual design, as well as the satisfaction of blowing up monsters from hell. it's a journey.

then you have Nexuiz, Quake III: Arena and Painkiller. this type is about adrenaline. nothing else. you play it fast while listening to DnB or techno, and drinking energy drinks. these games are also highly suitable for multi-player.

the third type I'd like to mention is the other meaning of FPS. FPS is often thought to mean "first-person shooters", but it actually also refers to first-person slashers. Witchhaven II, Hexen and Heretic are examples (and actually to a certain degree and in a specific play-style Skyrim as well) of this type. this is akin to the first type I mentioned, but with "mediæval crap" with spells and blades and bows and staffs and so on, haha. obviously I love this stuff.

there are a bunch of other types of FPS, naturally, like satire, sci-fi, war, and so on - but these are some of my favourites, and this is already tl;dr enough as is. my point is just that there are a lot of different types of FPS, so you shouldn't label them all "the Linkin Park of video games", haha.

you are such a fucking neeky brare
