>>737017432I unironically like the walls of texts that Owlcat dumps on you. I will seethe if their new one doesn't have as much of it.
The only option that matters is playing a paladin and being able to correct evil women with your dick.
normalfags love their barren open worlds
>RPG players want to get lost in another worldso you're saying they want loot shooters?
All I ask for is a usable Esc key at any time.
RPGs died in the 00s at latest. It doesn't matter what you ask people now, it's a lost art from a bygone era.
>worldspace>combat>musicthese are the most important
12% is too high
>>737017432>soundtrack that lowno wonder westerns think that shit like GoW, HK or E33 sountracks are peak vidya music. they clearly are tone deaf with uber shit taste
>>737017432Data driven decisions usually suck bad.Rpg dev grandeur but needs online spread sheets.
what are the best exploration rpgs?
>>737017769Wooden Ocean
>>737017432>Music that lowPeople unironically don't know how good they have it. Video game music is pretty good on average, if it gets worse you'll notice it quick.
>>737017432Music is an extremely important part of RPGs and the fact it ranks this low makes me very sad.
>>737017432Why are zoomers so obsessed with MUH LORE now?
>>737017432soundtrack is the most important but normgroids will never realize this
>>737017432And this is why World of Warcraft is the best rpg ever made
>>737017537>escape key closes the program
>>737017432World > Choices >>>> everything else
Don't agree with the top pick but I still like that world building is ranking higher than story and characters, I do agree that it's the most important of the three.
They say they want lore, but as soon as your game has a lot of text to read, they start complaining that it’s slow and boring.
>>737017432>values only add up to 99%?
>>737017467>it's been a month and the trannys at PCGamer are still seething.
>>737017432>No option for >Immersion, atmosphere, comfynessNormalfags were a mistake.
>>737018929there's a difference between good implementation of lore like in older TES games or most From RPGs (shame about the actual storytelling) and how shit like Arknights does it where they use the lore as an excuse to dump a shitton of purple prose on you
interesting characters. Preferably big titty furry women
>>737017432For me, in order>good combat with lots of build variety>general freedom of approach, “if you can think of it you can do it” sandbox quality simulating that tabletop feel>the ability to actually roleplay a character (give my characters opinion in different situations and not be forced into one choice>good character customization>good music >good magic (tho this generally falls in with the first point)Larian games are my favorite RPGs so far, they’re not perfect, but we share similar values, they know what they’re doing they make very fun sandbox RPGs
>>737017432i want all of them except the sidequest shit
>>737018979>comfinesswomen don't play video games
The problem is that "RPG" is far too wide of a net. You can't paint JRPG, CRPG, and ARPG with the same brush.
>>737017432Fallout 4/3 are superior to NV confirmed
>>737017432crimson desert GoTY
I don't believe that one bit.Characters is by far at the top.
>>737019138the Mojave is much more fun to explore than either 3 or 4
>>737017467>The playerbase says jump and Pearl Abyss asks how highWestern journalists and devs are now complaining that a developer is listening to the players instead of telling them how gay and diverse to be.
>>737019176Not even close, NV tranny
>>737017432And this is why democracy is the worst form of government.
>>737018929They aren't wrong, lore dumps suck, show it through gameplay. I don't need a 3 hour lecture about the history of your shithole and how it was conquered by scrimblos, show me active temples in the north and razed temples rebuilt as synagogues in the south, I'll manage to make a connection.
>>737017467>kike trash STILL spamming articles about the game that completely destroyed the last rotten shreds of their credibilityHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>737017432Not a single gameplay option, fuck. I'm tired of brain dead "pull a lever, open door" gameplay because they "focus on story". Fuck you
>>737017467Classic /v/ being contrarian and pretending to like Crimson Desert simply because retarded journos hate it. News flash, sometimes journos AND users can both find a game shit and everyone is right.
>>737019435I feel like the rise of the internet helps with stuff like this, the studios that succeed realize that deep lore and deep systems is just begging for YouTubers to make a ton of videos about all the secrets in your game, basically free advertising.
>>737018774If people were allowed to vote for multiple choices I bet soundtrack would rank higher, rarely is the soundtrack the biggest factor but it's up there in 2nd and 3rd place.
>>737020437>contrarian calling others contrarianMental illness.
>>737017432So why do people jack off Chrono trigger so much?Its empty as fuck with shallow ass characters
>>737020642Crimson Mid being mid is by far the majority consensus of every group. The hardcore gamers, the normie gamers, the critics, everybody. Take your meds.
>>737017432Well yeahOutside of /v/, open world is still a green flag and sandbox is a neutral flagEveryone wants more Skyrims, just not everything can be a Skyrim. >A hacked together mess with the depth of a puddle and a world space that isn't even that big, where half of the systems were axed and the other half are unbalanced or glitched, where you get locked into one of two actual playlists and either skip point to point on the map or skip along picking flowers until random wolves attack you, and spend all of your time in samey Nordic dungeons?That's the one yeah
>>737018836RPGs are about the RP which is based on the lore of the setting
>>737020179>combat isn't gameplay What did she mean by this?
>>737017432Build Variety > Choices > World >>>>> Story > Characters > Music > Badass Combat >>>>> Amount of sidequests
Where is the option for cute romances with non-human girls?
>>737021051The story and characters can still allow you to RP properly. But it seems like they are specifically attracted to all the background flavor text about the world instead.
>>737017698anyone that thinks the soundtrack is more important than the gameplay is objectively retarded and their judgement is worthless easily discarded.
>>737017432>soundtrack lastSo this why most of them are just gay atmospheric stuff
