Imagine actually playing one of the hot stinking trash mobile offerings over pirating an actual game from the wealth of titles NES, Snes, Genesis, GBA etc have to offer. Oh jeez, gotta take 12 hours off again unless I open my wallet!

Replacing one kind of trash with another isn't that much of an improvement.

Also are save states a foreign concept to you? If you're frustrated, guess what, you have control, for free!

Mobile games and NES games share no appeal. They might as well be completely different forms of media. There is a strong dichotomy between them, and no complementarity.

Considering a bunch of mobile games are straight rips of previously released puzzle games for those platforms, I don't see how that would be the case. Score the winning dunk on the next post I won't read, you're being willfully obtuse.

I think Skyrim succeeds where Witcher 3 fails when it comes to character progression more than the emergent gameplay. In Skyrim you have many weapon types, lots of weapons and armor with meaningful enchantments, a pretty big skill tree and a fairly decent suite of spells from various schools with both combat and utility focuses. You can build your character the way you want and play the way you want. Maybe you want to be a stealth archer who uses destruction spells, you might want to be a stealth archer who summons demons , you might want to be a stealth archer who uses mind control spells or you might want to mix and match everything. The weapons don’t all feel great to use, the enchantments are frequently boring, a lot of the spells are pretty lovely and the skill tree can be downright bad sometimes, but it succeeds often enough to give you a really engaging feeling of progression. In comparison, Witcher 3 seems to put far more emphasis on your raw level in terms of how effective you are against the various creatures and the skill points and equipment seem to have fairly minimal impact on your play style. Witcher 3 has better story content, the minute to minute gamplay is a lot better and it is a lot more polished, but the comparatively minimal character progression ends up making the game feel kinda flat for me.

I would rather every RPG ever give me a defined character i can play as than give me a character creator and force me to craft a personality from a game-full of "Evil, Good, Neutral" responses. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice could easily be my favorite From Soft game for making this one single change.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice could easily be my favorite From Soft game for making this one single change. Exactly this. People seem to think that doing a blank slate custom character helps with the immersion because the character is a representation of you in the game world. But the problem is the game doesn't know who you are, so it forces the writing to treat you as generically as possible. Then you end up with stupid poo poo like NPCs coming up to you and saying "I have no idea who you are but there's this dragon nearby and maybe you could go kill it? Apparently I just give this spiel to every rando who wanders through here."

Mass effect isn't an RPG cause you have to choose from like 3 distinct options as your characters foundational backstory and can't just play a space janitor or a space hobo

My unpopular opinion is that people are allowed to play whatever they like and it's still legitimate gaming, even addictive microtransaction games. The world is going to end soon anyway so who cares if you like green rotting trash or grey rotting trash? It's all splitting hairs which are already growing all funky due to being ingrown anyway. Also you can't read but everyone's on board with that one so it doesn't count.

poverty goat posted:i don't think you "get" rpgs computer "rpgs" were never really rpgs to begin with. Gary Gygax adapted miniature wargame rules into a storytelling game, and created the first P&P RPG. but you can't really play make believe with a computer (you can, but the computer isnt impressed). computer rpgs are all about the stats and the combat! what we now consider and "computer rpg" (character states, experience points, turn based combat, etc) is really just the tactical wargame parts

I have no problem with a premade character, but whether the character is premade or custom I prefer RPGs that have character progression that lets your play style significantly evolve over the course of the game. Divinity: Original Sin 2 has a handful of premade characters with great gimmicks and interesting backstories that tie into the main story in fun ways, but you also find gloves that let you teleport and you can take a skill that lets you talk to animals for information, summon totems from the ground to attack enemies or make it rain blood. I think Geralt is a great character, but I kinda got bored of the combat after awhile because there was relatively minimal progression of your skills and abilities. CD Projekt probably made the best Witcher game that anyone could ask for, but it felt like they were a bit boxed in by the lore when it came to what they could do for character progression.

Assassins Creed is terrible every single version, there is not one single redeeming quality about these games what so ever. If you have played this game or any of its subsequent releases for more than 40 minutes you need to re-evaluate everything.

That's cool and all but they're fundamentally different styles and if Witcher 3 had Skyrim's character progression it would have been a worse game for it because it's entirely wrong for the character

Actually AC4 black flag is really loving good and AC whiners who havent played since ac2 or 3 really have no idea. The series immediately went vack to being mediocre afterwards but ac4 is the best video game pirate simulator that's ever been put on the market.
