>imagine pressing a button to generate a dialogue text instead of generating fun
RPGs were a mistake

i know they stopped teaching kids how to actually read before you started going to school, zoomzoom, but if you're actually literate, reading an engaging story in between battles *IS* fun.
>>
>>12685724
That is what books are for.
>>
>>12685728
Books are not interactive however

way to prove you are not the exception when it comes to zoomers being illiterate.

Some people find reading books enjoyable. And RPGs aren't only "just" reading text. That can be a significant chunk of it, but there is some combat eventually.

Sounds like a thrill ride you fuckin faggot lmao

I have never read a single line of dialogue in any video game and anyone who has should not be allowed in video game spaces.

I used to read novels when I was around 12 years old. Not complex stuff just like Anne Rice Vampire novels and 1984. I put my thesaurus, dictionary and encyclopedia set to good use in the pre-internet era. Back when I had a library of maybe 15 games max. I did finish war and peace in high school though. I used to think RPGs were for smart, literate kids like me.

Boy was I wrong.

I played a shitload of RPGs and read less and less as the years went on. It made me dumber for it. Not quite as dumb as the people who wrote erotic fanfics and drew pornographic cartoons of their favorite videogames characters - but almost. Now I barely have the attention span for a novel or an rpg.

Anyway, videogames are fun.

>using your skills for erotica is not REAL skill
You really did become dumber with your age, haven't you.
>>
>>12686030
>I don't have the attention span!
Nah you're just busy like all adults, r-right?
>>
>>12686039

I don't think you under standard what early internet videogame fan fiction and fan erotica was like - before gaming garnered the "respectability" it has with adults now.

>>12686047

No, I'm noodling a guitar, watching old wrasslin shoot videos, and talking to you on 4chan. I just put down Emerald dragon because playing it for 20 minutes felt like a chore.

The irony of using a Baofu image, who adds to the fun of the game mainly through his dialogue

29, retard, and the very oldest don't represent the entirety of the generation.
Nevermind generations, how are YOU this fucking stupid? Apologize.

S-sorry, sir. I'm a little absent minded sometimes. I'll be better, I promise. Can you forgive me, please?

Oldest zoomers are reaching their 40s, prdpare for your prostate exam fagg.
>>
>>12685720
Honestly? Yes. Most RPGs have pretty bland plots. Ironically, point and click adventure games are usually written better and have a more natural pace of dialogue with full voice acting. And of course, most RPGs use tiny portraits to portray characters. Compare that to a visual novel or point and click adventure game with huge expressive characters on screen.

Onto that, most RPGs have extremely bland gameplay, usually turn based. It really feels out of touch, and only a few games seem to get it right without feeling grindy. A lot of enemies in RPGs will feel completely disposable, and after a lot of games I can't seem to remember what each enemy did to differentiate itself.
>>
>>12685720
everybody knows you play rpgs for the builds, party comps, and strategy. Now if you're playing one of those totally railroaded games that have none of that then I can't help you
>>
oldest zoomers are in their 80's...
>>
>>12686638
and they stopped teaching real literacy skills in US schools in like, 2004. I wasn't being flippant, zoomers were taught bullshit that actually hampered their ability to read, and alphas are currently being taught that same bullshit.

I like RPGs but I fucking hate gradually appearing text. Who needs this shit? I turn text speed to maximum (instant) where I can and mod the hell out to make it instant where I can't.

>>12687132
Alphas are gonna be tech literate soon as age verification and ban on vpns will make them do research on how anti censorship tools from china work

if youre looking for a good story in any of these games youre better off going into a bookstore and grabbing any book off any shelf. quite literally any book it doesnt matter. youll get more out of it than playing these games for their story. exceptions for me are ff6 and ff8
>>
>>12687434
You underestimating the cultures. It's one thing when someone grew up on censored internet, it's another when you have tiktok and porn addicted teen having his fix suddently taken away

Play another genre, then. Is someone forcing you to play RPGs? Why do RPGs make "real gamers" seethe so much?
>>
>>12687438
only one acting like a nigger is you
>>
>>12686847
Look at the post you're replying to. It's Persona 2, an RPG about rumors becoming reality, in which the protagonist becomes aware of this and starts specifically spreading rumors to change reality for his own benefit. Does it have a "pretty bland plot"?
Have you considered the possibility you're just bad at picking which RPGs to play?
>>
>>12687132
are you talking about word shape recognition instead of sounding words out?

>>12687462
baofu deez nuts
>>
>>12686892
Based, I'm sick of jrpgs being high school Sim dor losers and wrpgs being queer fantasy dating Sim for losers

Let me create a party of mute niggas to build up and a big dungeon filled with challenging enemies and fuck off, I don't need to read about some girl's awful problem of being rich or some demon woman being trans
>>
>>12685720
