>Dude, you should play this game!>Why?>It has such a great story and lore and-I sleep.
yeah
We really need to separate RPGs into Social RPGs for dialogue focus and Stats RPGs for stats and itemization focus.
>>733656487I literally only play purely mechanical games now with at most the barest minimum story.
>>733656637That’s just “old school” verses modernI still love crunchy old school RPGs with big stats focus and minimal story overhead.
>>733656487Games have had story and lore for over 40 years tourist retard.
40 iq: lore is cringe67 iq: dude chim lmao! 999 iq : lore is cringe
>>733656771True but it's a real killjoy when someone says he's into RPGs but then starts talking exclusively about Disco Elysium, Dragon's Dogma and BG3. Or Claire Obscure 33 and JRPGs.It's gotten so bad I can't even filter for games by the RPG genre because 90% of them will be jrpgs or talky turn-based western ones.
>>733656487I only play games for the music. If the music sucks, I'm not playing it.
>>733657048Games story 40 years ago:>Help Sir Knight defeat the evil wizard and save Fair Maiden!Games stories now:>Unskippable cutscene featuring melodramatic gay romance and explaining 200 years worth of invented history.I prefer the former
>>733656487>Dude, you should play this game!>Ok! :)
>>733657916Games 30 years ago>unskippable cutscene you have to rewatch every boss fightGames now>press start and skipWow you're genuinely retarded. Even if there's no option a mod exists. I suspect you're a consolebrown though because your post is so egregiously retarded.
>>733657202>dragons dogmaWhat the fuck lol. You think that's a story game? Opinion discarded
>>733656487Kek, I have the same reaction. I swear most of these storyslop games out there praised by normies are just 80% cutscenes with the shallowest gaming mechanics ever, linear progress and final boss fight being some shitass gimmick or quick time event. You can pretty much just watch youtube compilation of cutscenes and you won't lose much.
>story focused "game"I'll watch it on youtube for free, thanks.
>>733659913There are some story focused games that actually have cool meaningful mechanics and are fun to play, but in recent years it definitely shifted into cutscenes spam fiesta and 0 gameplay depth.
>>733657048Can you tell me the story and lore or Tetris? Yeah didn't think so you knuckle dragging mouth breathing crayon chewing paint huffing bird brained retarded dense cabbage lobotomite.May I interest you in a once in a lifetime one way trip inside the instantaneous retard compressor?
>>733661170>heh here's my cherry picked example that will earn me reddit karmaTake your own advice Rashit.
What about story games where playing it makes the story better?
