Modern roleplaying video games are anything where you can allocate stats and get loot. Stay mad that games aren't dungeons and dragons anymore

Do you not understand what, "playing a role" means?

I'd sooner have an issue with a video game with a main character being called an RPG, because you aren't playing a role. You're playing a specific character.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is more of an RPG than Final Fantasy 7 because you at least get to create the character for the main role in that one.

I hate how people think allocating stats and having a level is what makes a game an RPG.

I don't even know why people claim Zelda games are RPGs.

>This upsets people

Not saying you're arguing this, but your post just reminded me of how people would argue about this without realizing why drop rates and stat allocating make sense. If you were to go out and fight wolves with a sword or fire magic or some shit, chances are by the time you kill one it's going to be too mangled to properly skin it.

Shit like wolf teeth though should drop every time because there's no fucking way you're going to damage every single one of its teeth to kill it.

A decent MMO would be able to balance the socializing aspect with the gameplay.

But most either fail at one or the other.

Phantasy Star Universe, for example, was nothing more than a fucking 3D chatroom like PlayStation Home due to how horribly slow Sega released content, and most content was the same shit reskinned.

It's funny.

The majority of female avatars are played by men.
But the majority of women playing video games play MMOs.

That right there should tell you how few women actually play real video games. Shit like Farmville doesn't count as a video game.

Your definition of RPG is outdated and shared by no one in the gaming industry
Back to /tg/

Are there any MMORPGs that are obscure as fuck? No old or dead, just something nobody fucking knew about.
Maybe those will be better than the shit we have for mainstream.

Never played on an RP server? It doesn't get more RPG than that.

He specifically said not old or dead. Pretty sure that implies not shit as well

Female players worth anything pick male characters.

Terrible example as that is actually a female.

EVE?

Maybe Warframe, if you stretch the definition of MMO,

Does it have free trial or something similar?
Warframe is co-op thingy at best. I mean, you LIVE on a fucking ship.

Well then why not make it so that that sort of shit actually happens? If you kill a wolf by fire you get 2 copper as always but if you kill it with a club or some shit you get shitloads of loot.
Or would that scare the casuals?

Roleplaying is something you have to do yourself, you can't expect the game to blatantly hand you everything.

>>336027215
so you have been playing defiance?

They all pick guys so they blend in easier.

How retarded can you be? There are games where you play a specific character and are role playing by virtue of the fact that you have to make choices. Fuck youre dumb. See: gothic series

Isn't Second Life just sims with 1000x degeneracy

>>336036070
Nope. Filled with lonely old men and lonely old women, some that take the game CRAZY seriously. It's F2P but most of what you'll want to do will cost real world money and there's no way to get the currency without taking the effort to model and code something new that's cool enough to be worth someone's real money and make a business selling it to people in game. If you want land, real money per month/week. If you want the cool models or items, real money. Want access to this cool and detailed place, real money.
