yfw RPGs are a dying breed. Skyrim with butchered RPG mechanics. FO4 with butchered RPG mechanics. Mass Effect reduced RPG mechanics from sequel to sequel.
The genre is all but over except for FKN WEEB SHIT.

Are you legit mentally retarded

I think it's time you misogynerds stopped invading this hobby.
Tabletops take their mechanics from videogames, and their lore - from SJW whistleblowers now.

It's so sad what happened with TT.

average consumers are getting bored of story based video games

Good riddance. Western RPGs were always trash. Long live the JRPGs.

There's nothing wrong with that, RPGs were never a mainstream thing relatively recently in their long decades of existence. It's just scales finally evening out and genres games getting once again made for genre fans.

Tabletops are fine, though. You just see doom and gloom because you're looking at them as if they were video games aka big name titles as AAA equivalent when that's not the case. Not to mention it's not tabletop games are like multiplayer video games where they'll just die or lose technical support. There are still people original AD&D out there, for example. Just because new, shitty editions exist it doesn't negate old ones.

Goddamnit, I had almost forgot how awful the 4e art was.
RPG mechanics were always meant as a stop gap for when the technology gets good enough to display huge and realised open worlds with real time combat. It was always the end game.

What about DivOS, Wasteland 2, Xulima, Grimrock, all the others? You're not short on choices ya know

Right. FO4 is considered GOAT because of it's open world and real time combat. It's not considered a completely mediocre, bastard child of the Fallout series with it's severe lack of RPG mechanics.
