I'm not much of a fan of the idea of an overarching 'main quest' narrative in RPGs tbh. I'd rather have RPGs that are more like Have Gun — Will Travel. I can think of very few RPGs that have been improved by their main narrative and many that have been hurt by it.Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ April 16th, 2024, 10:29As soon as the end of the adventure is in sight I look at all of the remaining sidequests and think "what's the point?"rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 16th, 2024, 09:46I rarely complete games because it makes me sad when it's over.
While I do enjoy them, RPGs aren't my favorite genre. That title goes to any of these three: Platformers, Shooters, in particular Arena Shooters, and RTS. Despite that, Planescape: Torment is in my Top Ten.
So that's why you don't wanna play short games, phobia of suddenly triggering the endingrusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 16th, 2024, 09:46I rarely complete games because it makes me sad when it's over.

not paying attention to any of the stuff i pick up then wondering why i'm getting owned by mid game
I am the same, but that's why would prefer shorter games that give a variety of ways to play so I can jump back in.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 16th, 2024, 09:46I rarely complete games because it makes me sad when it's over.

Just finished Archolos for the first time, didn't feel anything. I think generally game endings are just going to be unsatisfactory. Which only makes me want to finish them less. Maybe I'm just used to books that have a sense of catharsis at the end. And arcade games that "end" when I play them for the last time.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 16th, 2024, 09:46I rarely complete games because it makes me sad when it's over.

I won't play/have no interest in 'popular' games (Fortnite, Helldivers, Cyberpunk 2077, etc)

Yes but I was actually interested in that one
It is with shame that I confess that my early 10's playthrough of ME1-M3 was enjoyable right up until the idiotic ending.

Stealthily swapped my broken Pokémon Silver cartridge with my friend's functional one. Sorry, Chad.

I loaned my Sapphire cartridge to a friend (we were both homeschooled and our parents had taken us on playdates over the years, even went on vacation trips together) so he could catch some Hoenn mons and transfer them to Diamond/Pearl. He returned the cartridge to me... and all of my Pokemon were cleaned out. My beloved Swampert, the mons I had raised in Colosseum and XD and transferred over to Sapphire. Everything. Hundreds of hours of effort, gone. I never spoke to him again after that.Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ April 20th, 2024, 00:28Stealthily swapped my broken Pokémon Silver cartridge with my friend's functional one. Sorry, Chad.
So it's just that popular things nowadays are slop and you won't play slop just because they are popular, not some sort of contrarianism. Basically an average rpghq member

Final Fantasy 15 is really good. Never played the others.

Can’t stand Fallout 4 and all elder scrolls games before Skyrim.
