South park stick of truth

Does Fire Emblem count?

Fire Emblem is a waifu game, not a RPG.

Maybe VtMB, like you gain like 2-9 EXP per quest and all your stats can be summed up by 0-5 filled in dots.

Why are there so little RPGs with small numbers?
>>
>>320812923
Are you joking? The numbers scale dramatically each level up to the point where damage and health fall into the thousands.

Actual answer: Oldschool RuneScape.

>>320812868
Phantasy Star I had pretty low numbers, most bosses had about 200 hp.

A small number of RPGs with small numbers I guess
Why are small numbers so important to you anyway?

well for a computer to calculate 1000000000 damage combo or a 5 damage combo

what do you think would take up more processing power?

Games that run D&D systems.

That shit is such a simple math equation it does not even come close to the computing power required for something such as visual rendering or shit, theirs no way its an actual factor.

My personal guess at is that its aimed at children and is thus easier to understand
>>
I dont see why an RPG ever really gets into the 1000's of health. The majority of Pokemon keeps it within >300, which is nice, but I do prefer games like Paper Mario where the numbers are not inflated

Dragon Quest generaply stays within 3 digits at most.
>>
>>320815565
Do you even know how an ALU or a CPU in general works?
>>
Are there any magic RPGs? because I mean with that game nothing (except maybe life) goes past 20 unless you're pulling some zany shit.
>>
>>320815994
Larger numbers allow for more precision without relying on decimals. With 1000 health you could do 5 damage whereas with 10 health you would have to do .05 damage for an equivalent proportion. It also makes division easier. If some hp was halved then having the hp be 5 would mean using decimals or either having 2 or 3 health which could be a big difference whereas halving 50 health would just be 25.

This. In most RPGs the numbers go super high, and in most CCGs, the numbers are very low.

It's just a tradition at this point. Which is too bad since I love small numbers.

So you feel more strong

More numbers=more better

I was playing some yugioh game recently and I swear I was basically converting it like yen into "real" numbers because of how inflated the amount of points everything has for attack, defense and life gets.

>>320814882
Yep, I just got done playing it. At max level its a bit of a shock when a strong enemy manages to hit a character for ~20 damage.

PS1 was a damn fine game.

Dragon Quest generally has pretty low numbers for most of each game.

Madou Monogatari has like no numbers at all.

Fortune Summoners has quite low numbers as well, I think max level is like 25.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines has low numbers
Same goes for KOTOR series and a lot of classic western RPGames such as Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate
MMO-related would be old school/2007 Runescape
