You know for a guy who kept drilling people on what an RPG is he didn't seem to have an answer himself. Makes the whole documentary seem stupid when you can't even answer the question in the title by the end. Then I saw some clips of him on Joe Rogan where he seemed to not even know the basics of what he was speaking about? I don't get why people pay attention to anyone this clueless about video games lol you'd have to be really stupid
I haven't even seen the whole thing but it's clear the point of the documentary isn't to outline the basic RPG biology you should have learned in school.
it's a showcase on insane people and to ask them
"what is an RPG?"
for them to answer "an RPG is any game that identifies as one"
but that can't possibly be the definition because then "what is it identifying as"
It has to be a tangible thing that means something for a game to identify as it otherwise it isn't anything and that seems to be the point of the doco.
I get that he's criticizing their position but when he doesn't have an answer himself then his opinion is essentially worthless. The documentary doesn't accomplish anything verging on intellectual stimulation and it just seems like a way to virtue signal that you think people who can't define RPGs when put on the spot are stupid. At least have the guts to provide your own definition if you're going to be that slimy
RPGs are anything based of DND's gameplay. If it functions exactly like or similar to DND it is an RPG, that means stats, classes and the likes. Nowadays we have games that have RPG-adjacent mechanics, but are nothing like DND in their gameplay presentation, so I wouldn't personally consider them an RPG, just like I wouldn't consider games with a stealth button a stealth game. >oh but muh RPG is le ROLE playing game which means any game where you're playing a role means it's an RPG
Shut the frick up
>DND
Dungeons & Dragons is just a pen & paper RPG; there's wa~ay more than just Dungeons & Dragons, Anon. Attached has nothing to do with Dungeons & Dragons, and it's a pen & paper RPG.
>Conservatives
I don't know why you gays even play games.
According to the conservative mindset/ideology, which is about preserving tradition, games are for children and adults shouldn't play them
Playing games requires you to reject that idea and have a more liberal mindset. This is why games will always be a liberal medium
So stop being hypocrites and stop playing games.
Go make white babies instead since you gays are obsessed with race
And also, hitler would have banned video games.
so why are the /qa/ueers being depicted in a submissive position. Don't tell me that they were bested by a bunch of women / trannies. Although i wouldn't be surprised.
a game in which you are supposed to play out a certain role in the story.
they usually involve emphasis on freedom of character creation (in terms of skills/perks) to allow the player to tailor the player character to themselves.
this does not mean that the PC has to be a blank slate, sometimes players might be expected to fill in an already established character.
this causes me to believe that a flexible perk/skill/ability tree is much more important for an RPG game than impactful dialogue choices (choices themself should be present in the game, regardless of their impact on the overall story)
your mom
dumb
idiot
real definition: a game with an overt emphasis on numbered statistics, almost always with some kind of story.
get fricked morons. defining genres by aesthetics instead of mechanics is room temp iq tier.
No, I'm pretty sure visual novels are RPGs
no, they're visual novels, dipshit.
If a game identifies as an RPG it's an RPG
END. OF. STORY.
>an overt emphasis on numbered statistics, almost always with some kind of story.
So XCOM is an RPG
I played this one, I don't know why anyone wouldn't consider it an rpg.
>I don't know why anyone wouldn't consider it an rpg.
Not being a complete moron.
Well yeah obviously a moron wouldn't consider it to be an rpg, what I'm wondering is why.
>Well yeah
Then I'm glad we've established you're a complete moron. Goodbye, moron [-]
I look forward to your next reply.
Any game where you make a choice regardless of how much effect it has on anything

>What is an RPG?
The RPG-7 (Russian: PПГ-7, Pyчнoй Пpoтивoтaнкoвый Гpaнaтoмёт, romanized: Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomot, lit.'Handheld anti-tank grenade launcher') is a portable, reusable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank, rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
objectively correct

there is the genre

A miserable little pile of numbers.

Well you can play a little bit of video games or tv or whatever if your responsible with it but don't make it your whole life
What is this picture meant to convey?
from what I understand the sharty had a bit of a rivalry with crystal cafe, much like Ganker vs reddit
so why are the /qa/ueers being depicted in a submissive position. Don't tell me that they were bested by a bunch of women / trannies. Although i wouldn't be surprised.
>russian zoomers with aids vs fat and/or old women
How riveting

>What is an RPG?
It's a game where you roleplay
>an RPG
ESL moment.
Say 'RPG' out loud, anon
You will find the first syllable is pronounced like 'ar'
You are the ESL.
R is pronounced "aarr"
and 'an' is used before any word with a vowel SOUND.
>He actually substitutes the whole words every time he looks at or says an acronym
Bongtard moment
an rpg is a game that identifies as an rpg.
So then what is the game identifying as?
define that. what is an RPG?
