>Indie RPG>It's just Chrono Trigger but worse
>>3993458Sea of Stars? Yeah the game is rancid shit. I tried so hard to give it a chance since the graphics are legit like really high quality and the music was fine. Fucking hell the story and gameplay were ass though.
>>3993458You can be Chrono Trigger or you can be Undertale
>>3993476Isn't undertale mainly inspired by earthbound?
>>3993462Nah, the time travel chronicle shit that is coming out soon.
>>3993458That's because the entire genre of RPG's has stepped away from its tabletop roots, become worse, and why incidentally JRPG's are less pure and less RPG. It goes:Books/Wargames/Fantasy>Tabletop>RPGS(like wizardry and early ones)>JRPGs>Modern RPG'sThe only way to save RPG's is draw inspiration from Tabletop and the original inspirations for tabletop, Videogames RPG's really should simulate the tabletop gameplay experience but faster since the computer can do all the math and book referencing in seconds.

Bamp.>>3993519I also want to know
>>3993512i get books but is the wargames step necessary?
>>3993486A bunch of fan games used to be inspired by Earthbound, but now that Undertale is more than 10 years old, the new indie devs of today are inspired by it instead. Some of that secondhand quirks come through, but it's like a copy of a copy, in terms of degradation of ideas.
>>3993458>Desu Sex 1>it's X-Files but good.
>>3993512>entire genre of RPG's has stepped away from its tabletop roots, become worse,i dare say /tg/ is mostly shit, except Monopoly and Risk. moving away from DnD autism made games better.
>>3993527They were definitely an important step. TTRPG's didn't evolve from a singular source but wargames were absolutely an influence alongside all the other board games that were being made last century by the likes of Hasbro.
>>3993686x files is the x files but goodexcept when monica reyes is on screenor diane fowleyor early season Krychekor Marita Gimubtas and the moviesand season sixand the revivals

>>3993512It's actually just because a lot of indie games are people trying to make legally distinct copies of games they liked when they were kids.
>>3993458Why is it a criticism that an indie game is a worse version of one of the greatest RPGs of all time?
>>3994126remember when mulder cries because he remembers that his past live's son died in the holocaust?
>>3994175that is the best episode of Star Trek
>>3994175>fictional character cries about something fictional happening
>>3993512this is how you get shitty cargocult rpgs with pointless tabletop shit on a computer
>>3994281>this is how you get shitty cargocult rpgs with pointless tabletop shit on a computer
>>3993458“Chrono Trigger but not much worse” is still pretty good, though, if a game can manage that
>>3993512table top are for table bottoms
