there's a lot to like about blobbers, the party and resource management, exploration, the mazes, and fast, snappy combat. But there's a lot NOT to like if you don't enjoy long endless corridors, being lost in mazes , constantly worrying about restocking resources, and mechanics that can seem ''unfair'' like really strong traps, poisons, pure black zones being teleported and disoriented around....
Westerners have said they are claustrophobic and ''dull'' because they lack story and character development. Japs don't seem to mind.
I guess they were born in the West, but raised in Japan, married a Jap girl and had hapa kids.
Japan fell in love with primitive Apple ][ shit which is easier to recreate than golden age 90s blobbers that were made exclusively for God Emperors of Autism that just don't exist anymore in 2021
Ok. Here is a list of the blobbers i've played and finished. Note these were all purchased at release.
MM3 to 8
Wiz 6 to 8
Etrian games
Wizardry TOTFL
Probably some others. I don't really feel like remembering that hard because i have more chops than anyone else on this silly board and you're no one I need to justify my long, long history of gaming to.
Ok, i'm done here. Mm6+ aren't blobbers? My 40 years and stacks of games say otherwise. I didn't list mm1 because i didn't buy it or 2 on release. My short, half considered list is barely representative.
don't they all have at least the option of turn based? i know might and magic eventually fell apart when they let you go FPS and snipe everything with arrows
perhaps they are hybrid blobbers
Please leave the thread you weird little prick. You're boring.

Do you really think that Might and Magic VI is a fricking blobber or are we talking about different games? M&MVI is most definitely not a fricking blobber, not even remotely so.
They have a turn based option. They're great games for people that actually like and play games. Not a lot of people like that on this board and the homosexual that replied to certainly isn't one either. I do, however, like games which is how i know this board is full of hipsters 30 and under. It's a shame because 15 years ago one could actually have decent talk on 4chinz but no more and certainly not here in this board full of posturing.
I really couldn't tell you because the last time i played it was fall of 98. Now that i think about it i dropped it because OoT came out and I was finally able to get fallout 2 working on my pc.
Wait a second, I looked it up and I was full of shit. For decades I thought that blobbers are turn-based dungeon crawlers on a grid. Apparently, the word actually refers to first-person games with multiple characters sharing the point of view, as it were. My bad. You can all eat a dick, but in this particular case I was wrong and an imbecile. Pic unrelated.
Because japs stayed true to the classic wizardry style (1-5) instead of doing weird shit like Americans
Robert Woodhead was always Japanese at heart.
because it's easier for the artists
Same reason weeks exist. When it comes from another country and is oddly translated it seems mysteriously foreign and exotic
Weeks are a fairly global thing. Even the weekdays being named after the 7 planets is a common practice.
That didn't develop in isolation. The Western calendar has been spread around the world for millennia.
lots of cultures have had weeks of lengths other than 7 days
They're a kino genre.
this genre is too hard :/ I just can play FF7. I dk where all the ins an douts are to this genre.
Wizardry is a JRPG

>why does japan love blobbers more than their home country
They don't. They just like wizardry more than us.
they pump new ones out like there's no tomorrow. surely it's a love for the genre at this point

I love blobbers
Care to prove this? List your blubber achieves and likes/dislikes

Also i had a tooth pulled today and i am feeling surly. You list your stuff now or stop posting.
Well, M&M6+ weren't blobbers and neither was Wizardry 8. Are you lying to us in hopes that we're all underage (as opposed to just most of us), sir?

Could you just list your stuff and stop behaving like a little NGJ gay off insertcredit circa 2004?

They are not blobbers, period, Mr. Liar.

Why no MM1 or Wizardry 5?
I don't like wiz5.
Why not?

i like the turn-based, grid-based ones more, but yes, the concept is a blob of flesh with ~10 arms swinging swords or shooting a bow
They're fun.

What's this fricked up chimera of a game?
Ultima had moons first.
