Why are RPG purists such nerds?
Mostly just hipsters who don't like games that get a lot of attention from the gaming community.

actually, I'm pretty sure fallout 3 made me bitter about video games.
>>339160318
Back in 2010 when I started going on /v/ more often. But I'd rather have fun with shit taste than no fun with great taste.
>>339160671
on one hand you have mongoloid friends that freak out at nothing, on the other hand they're right and your taste is shit
it has nothing to do with being an RPG purist, they just know better RPGs
>>339160671
They're idiots, they can't handle the concept of someone liking something that they dont like

People this young shouldn't b allowed on the internet.
>>339160318
Don't give a fuck what RPG fedoras say, Fallout 3 is a great game. New Vegas still stands as the best, but I had fun with 3 GOTY edition.
>>339160984
you realize nigga could be 24?
If you care about shit taste, you care more about opinions than fun. Fun is not a rubric by which we can criticize games, but you can still have it.
>>339160318
Long time ago.
Don't care, have a lot of fun.
>>339160318
>>339160671
Have you played New Vegas?
If not, go do it and you will see that New Vegas is objectively a better game with a more complex narrative, better built world, characters, weapons, enemies, locations etc etc.
Plus you get to go to Vegas. How fucking cool is that.
>>339160318
I only had shit taste for a little bit, I tried Final Fantasy and liked it because other people liked it, pretty much the only reason anybody liked it. The next day I sat down and thought about why I liked it and couldn't come up with any real reasons.
Pretty much the same thing with Pokemon. It's just trash, although I think Pokemon is a bit better because it has more variation but in the end there still really isn't any tactic or skill or challenge involved its just a game you walk forever in and press attack when it tells you to.
>>339161234
I tried New Vegas the second I finished Fallout 3.
It didn't really get to me as much as Fallout 3 did, no idea why.
Mabye it was "too much"...
Dont know honestly, never got the feeling "Wow, I wanna play New Vegas!"
>>339160671
the margin isn't that big. it's a meme. but yeah NV is better
Well, I realized I can enjoy games compared to the majority of /v/
>>339161234
I live in Vegas, too many niggers.
>>339160318
Mass Effect 1 was pretty good; there was a lot of room to improve, but they fucking blew it.
>>339161234
While I agree New Vegas is the better game the only thing that bugged me about it was that so many of the locations had nothing in them. You show up and there's not even any good loot to take. It's just a waste of space on the map.
Fallout 3 on the other hand usually had something interesting in all their locations be it loot, ammo, npcs, environmental flavor text, ect.
>>339160759
Underage or b8. Baldur's Gate was the biggest RPG of its time.
Can someone explain to me why /v/ thinks ME1 is a good RPG?
It's a mediocre game with little to no RPG elements and generic gameplay.
>>339161234
New Vegas has the advantage of coming out after Fallout 3 so it fixed a lot of it's flaws and it didn't try and reinvent itself and fuck up what made it good like Bethesda tend to do.
>>339161663
>I like to go on anime forums and shitpost about games I've never played
It is okay to enjoy Bethesda and Bioware games. Just know that you enjoy putting shit in your mouth.
>its an: anon mistakes action games for RPG's, thread
>>339161465
Beats the shit out of DC. We have urban youths and the most treacherous white people in the country.
>two murders within a week of each other at the same Metro station
>highschoolers so aggressive and belligerent local high schools have to stagger their release times to prevent daily brawls
>run the risk of getting attacked for no fucking reason anywhere outside the Mall and its surrounding areas
>nothing to do after you memorize the museums and see all the sights
>everyone is an career-obsessed cunt who wants nothing to do with you unless they can use you
The people who bitch about modern RPG's are usually the ones who haven't played the old stuff causing them to overcompensate for it to the point where their behavior becomes hilarious, like they are trying to parody the angry elitist stereotype.
I've played all the 90's classics from Planescape to Arcanum and I still enjoy all the games OP listed, don't sweat about it.
>>339161847
Action games can have RPG elements or even be full fledged RPGs.
They just usually fuck it up 95% of the time.
>>339161670
That doesn't make Fallout 3 any better.
>>339161765
But I have, after reading about it from /v/. The only choice that mattered was selecting my ammo.
>>339161902
What you mean is you've only played late '90s RPGs.
>go online
>retard says games I like are bad
>add one of the retards to my steam friendlist
>he wants to play the games that were bad
Mystery solved.
>you will never play Oblivion for the first time again

Kinda, I've also played the early Ultima games and Wasteland, I was more into arcade games at that time.

Sorry
1950s, early 60s Vegas.
>>339162102
I know that feel, bro.
>>339162390
man I loved skyrim when it released. Scandinavian/northern europe themed game was cool as fuck
>never got around to playing F1 and F2
>same with F3
>New Vegas comes out, download because I love the setting
>enjoy the shit out of the game with multiple playthroughs
>try 3
>never finish it and get bored several hours in every time
>proceed to F1 which I really enjoyed and F2 which I enjoyed even more
>finished F4 but it still was crap
>>339162508
I also enjoyed the Scandinavian setting, especially empaling scandinavian children.

kys /pol/tard, and it's IMPALING
>>339163130
People that can actually appreciate the original Fallout games for what they are even if they didn't play them when they came out?
I don't see what you mean by this if you're implying thats a bad thing. Fallout 3 and 4 are trash.
>>339160318
Could be worse, anon. Skyrim was my first RPG and I was well over 20 at that point so I don't even ave the underage excuse.
>>339160671
I had fun is an empty argument. It means that you have nothing good to say about the game so you just fall on the "well, I had fun" response.
Your patrician friends are right, you're taste is shit and you should feel bad.
>>339163130
And that's a problem because why?
>>339160318
I love Mass Effect trilogy. ME3 had shit ending though.
I love all fallouts. Completed even BoS 1 & 2, Tactics and the main serie.
I love Baldur's gate serie and the Icewind dale serie. I don't fancy Planetscape torment (story and setting just doesn't appeal me.)
I love Vampire: The Masquerade but i didn't think Bloodlines was that awesome. Still playable.
In the end, nothing i say matters as we all like different degree, style and played RPG-games. Be it shallow RPG or hardcore one.
