If your game doesn't have a character creator, it's not RPG.

>gothic
>jap porn games
>witcher
>call of duty
>farm simulator

Not rpgs.

Disgaea has a character creator. Its a very based RPG like Arcanum
>>
>>3667156
Cool, never heard of it as I don't like japanese media. I don't doubt some of it is actual RPG tho.

>>3667136
Monster hunter is rpg?

wrpg

>>3667166
Not sure. I dont play AAAslop.
>>
>>3667136
No, it's an RPG, just a less robust one.
>>
NBA 2k22 is a RPG
>>
game not having character creator=not rpg doesn't mean game having character creator=rpg
>>
>>3667190
Nope
Having chargen doesnt mean rpg
>>
>>3667190
Specific modes of NBA 2k22 are an RPG. Not necessarily the game in its entirety.
>>
>>3667136
Witcher 1 and Gothic 1-2 are much better RPGs than most of the indie autistic shit you consider good.
>>
>>3667210
Witcher 1 are gothic 1 indeed are some of the best games of all time. I never claimed otherwise.

I never claimed that RPG=GOOD nonRPG=BAD

Acquire reading comprehension you illiterate retard.
>>
>>3667210
>Gothic 1-2
Good
>Bitcher
Always shit, but 1 had heart. Still sucked
>>
>>3667136
Thanks for letting everyone know you're retarded.

>>3667210
W1 has really bad combat and it's in a bad engine.
>>
>>3667214
>>3667222
You unironically need too high of an IQ to comprehend quality of TW1. Id wager north of 130.

That's why most of this board dislikes it. It's not your fault you... I mean, literally can't comprehend it. It's outed by the fact that you think it has bad combat.
>>
Seems like nitpicking to me. RPG's doesn't necessarily have to follow a strict set of conditions to be an RPG. A lot of the things we consider staples of RPG's tend to be universal among many games.
>>
>>3667224
I have over 140. No, the difference is that I was both sober and an adult while playing it.
>>
>>3667136
Rpg is an utterly meaningless buzzword
Icewind Dale, Pathfinder, Baldur - should be on /vst/
Gothic, TES, Witcher - action games board that doesn't exist yet
Fallout and disco elysium - adventure/point and click board

Delete this fucking board already

I'm convinced that by now instead of the good old retardation by attention starved wannabe trolls with at best ~100 of all IQ types the majority of those "pretending to be retarded" posts and especially OPs are made to farm data for GPTslop. So I guess good on anons who have figured it out before and started poisoning the input.

If it doesn't take 10 minutes for every turn you take, you aren't really playing an RPG
If a sidequest doesn't convert into a main quest because it keeps extending over and over, you aren't really playing an RPG

My buddy is a big fan of the Witcher games and he bought the trilogy for me awhile ago. I finally played the first one this past spring/summer. I was streaming it while my buddy watched and we chatted. I got busy irl and put it down while I was in the swamp. The brickamakers are kino af. Quite charming game. I liked the potion crafting aspect a lot. Getting the cards by slamming those girls' poontangs was hilarious. I set my difficulty at the hardest setting possible and it was actually pretty hard. I could tell the combat system actually had some legitimate depth to it and I just hadn't gotten good enough when I was hitting a wall. The timing for the sword combos in the different styles ended up striking my fancy. The freedom to go isometric or behind the shoulder was great. I realized early on it's best to just knock something down to autokill it. I really wanted to get to making bombs and shit, but sadly never made it there. I bet if I made it to making bombs I'd still be playing. *Spoiler: That hellhound boss at the end of chapter 1 was hard as shit to kill. I had to restart like 10 times because he kept auto-killing me somehow. Eventually I got lucky and knocked him down, but for some reason he was incredibly resistant to being knocked down.

That's called Tactics/Strategy not RPG.
>>
>>3667136
mh, don't know how well that reasoning whould fly in theater, you know that the role in role-playing can be about you playing a charcter like how someone plays romeo or juliet in romeo and juliet, right?

this is what rtwptards think turnbasedchads actually believe

scripted roleplay is not roleplay
yes, this means dialogue choices are not roleplay :)
>>
>>3667136
Incredibly BASED and 100% correct
>>
>>3668094
The only reason it takes 10 minutes per turn in those games is because developers, especially these days, just jam a bunch of animations on to everything and those animations slow everything down a lot. Fewer animations = shorter turns. No animations = lightspeed turns. Everything else after that is just you wasting time.

This is a haiku

>>3667136
Incredibly CRINGE and 100% wrong
>>
>>3667136
The worst UI and player experience of all time. that game is fucking brutal. And it actually made me realize Tim Cain can talk a lot about games, but really doesn't know how to make a fun game at all.

>>3670503
What was filtered. Like, what great experience did I miss out on. 10 wolves attacking me and killing me, in the worst turn based attack system ever made?
