/vrpg/ is a place to discuss all types of role-playing video games, including single-player, multi-player, and massively multi-player, turn-based and real-time action, western-style and JRPG.

Does this mean RPGs are banned on other video game boards? No! /vrpg/ is just a separate board specifically focused on RPGs where discussions about your favorite games can thrive.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules and remember to use the spoiler function where appropriate!

Please note that, like /v/, "Generals"—long-term, one-after-the-other, recurring threads about a specific game are not permitted on /vrpg/. Such threads belong on >>>/vg/.

I backed it and the Wild Arms game they were doing and they really shit the bed. They released that shitty game no one wanted and then turned around and said “oh no actually this was just a test to try and interest a studio in supporting development!” Basically lied about their intent and had no means to release their game.

This is one of those games I wish I played years ago because now I want to play it but I'd rather do it on a CRT on actual hardware and copies are too expensive.

I've actually played True Love, and yeah, that game is right on the border of genres. you could call it both an rpg and a VN, and both would be valid. it happens sometimes. That being said, pointing at the fringe cases is often disingenuous, and ignores the other 99% of the genre.
>>
>>3565038
Yeah I agree, I'd even call True Love a visual novel first and foremost since it comes from that tradition. It just also happens to rely heavily on RPG mechanics.

Player skill or stats determining outcomes doesn’t matter. That only determines if it’s an Arpg or an rpg. Both are rpgs. So every game type is an rpg potentially.

CYOA elements doesn't make it a roleplaying game. Compare it to the original Choose Your Own Adventure gamebook series. The CYOA gamebooks weren't roleplaying games while the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks were, since they had RPG stats and RPG combat mechanics.

Will an RPG ever go mainstream without humans as an option? Imagine a whole world without Humans, Elves and Dwarves. Usually every franchise are only allowed one unique race, which is usually shafted to expand on the standard ones.

What's the best 'new' race you've seen when playing? Something like the Huana or Qunari.

Elves are just more feminine humans: slender, pure, supposedly wiser. They sit around in woods and talk for ages talking about the follies of men while doing nothing to stop them.

Dwarves are just more masculine humans: rough, industrious, prone to violence. They drink themselves into a stupor every second hour while in a brawl over the last good steak.

'Race' is just sub-speciation for humans. The differences is merely time and adaption.

Nope, it has RPG elements for sure, but the game is a hybrid of a lot of genres, Stealth/FPS/RPG/Adventure. RPG nerds just like to claim any game as an RPG with the "one drop rule" because they think that means it is better.

I want to play the Amiga versions of the gold box games, just as they were played back then (grid paper maps and all). What's the best emulator to do this with? Any tips? I've already done this with Wizardry and enjoyed it. Also general gold box discussion thread.
>>
>>3564721
>grid paper maps
You don't really do this in Goldbox games, as you get an Area command to see the whole map.
I've always used WinUAE in the past, not sure if something better is around now.
>>
>>3564770
But isn't it just a plain map without a key?
>>
>>3564774
Yes, you can't see doors or secrets or illusionary walls, but I always found you don't need to. I never drew a single map while playing these as a kid. The area map and memory was enough.
>>
>>3564770
Uh yes you do. It's not as necessary as games with massive maze like areas like Wizardry, but most people do map in the goldbox games.
>>
>>3565042
Most brainlets, maybe. Entirely unnecessary, it has a map built in.

>>3564285
Ok so I finished playing this game.

It wasn't as short as I expected, but still not very long. That said this game is really good. The story and setting is genuinely unique and almost every aspect of the game's storyline is ridiculous. The characters are pretty interesting, and I liked Chun's storyline a lot. I think there's some really good writing and environmental story telling.

I want to say there's some cliche "Cute game is actually scary!!!" aspect to the game but since it's really old I'll give it a pass, and even then it's more for storytelling rather than corny shock value.

The combat in this game is barebones, but at least it's just barely difficult enough that you have to pay attention to it. Most story based RPG Maker games usually make it virtually impossible to lose, here you have to make an effort to win. The battles are just tank and spank until you win though so whether that's a plus or a minus I have no idea. Part of me wishes the game just committed to either no battles or making them a lot more interesting.

I gotta be honest usually story based RPG maker games don't hit me very hard but this one was great. I wasn't expecting something so original from the overly cutesy anime character aesthetic but this game still managed to hit me despite feeling like I've been jaded from playing too many other games. After playing so many games I felt like I already knew what to expect and can't feel much suspense or interest in story based games anymore, but this game still managed to curve ball me.
Thanks for the recommendation!
