I always skip dialogue so i don't care

japan is a cultureless wasteland inhabited by bugmen
art is alien to them

/thread

I like how everyone made fun of op in that thread.

This, except Deus Ex because I like that game personally and my opinion is always correct.

WRPGfags crying because their genre is practically dead, they're lucky to get a new game once every five or more years

Because he is 100% right.

Your ass still pained after everyone tore it apart like a jew tears foreskin?

I get where the image is going but multiple of those criteria are retarded

Suikoden has very expressive sprite work and you choose the MC's dialogue options he's not mute.

@grok why are jrpgs so much inferior to crpgs?

I'm not Jewish, and my foreskin is intact, you tell me.

ESL doesn't know what "like a" means.

will children ever stop typing in ebonics?

The world must be reactive and persistent

I completely agree. Half of rpgs are just walking simulators with barely any interactivity and manicured npcs. What's the point of roleplaying if everything feels soulless?

This means Rust is an rpg.

Skyrim fulfills all those boxes and still ends up in the not an RPG category? Granted they're shallow checkmarks but checkmarks all the same.
Inconsistent elitists demand no respect.

It's funny how the western games side had to go back 20 years for that roster. Look at the western protagonists now. All blacks and women and black women. Enjoy your wokeslop, faggot.

Look at the western protagonists now

Such as?

rust

no story

no choices

unlelss you mean actual players rping, well then ya.
In Skyrim, your choices virtually don't matter. That's the only issue.

Expressionless

Chrono, clearly doing the Toriyama smirk

Anon, pls

This is clearly an expression.
JC Denton on the other hand, I don't remember him ever making an expression.

Now post any JRPG made after 1997 and isn't DQ slop

Get off this website if you hate Japanese people.

Brutal but not inaccurate. When I want to play a game I want to have fun, no one has time for someone who desperately wants to be Dostoevsky but doesn't have the talent to pull it up.

Dostoyevsky doesn't have faggot or tranny shut in his novels, it's kind of insulting to compare his work to WRPGs.

And yet all the games on both sides are... le good?!

You need to be at least a semi-decent writer for videogames if you're trying to make something that's not just the game equivalent of encountering a finger trap for the first time.
Putting together a lot of gameplay without degenerating into soup or disrupting the ludo is somewhat of a challenge. Bad writing is why "cinematic games" are neither cinema nor games.
While it is important to distinguish games with so-called "RPG elements" from RPGs, for the same reason that you distinguish games with "Stealth elements" from stealth games, quite a few of those points seem optional. Skill-based leveling, shops, crafting, companions, explicit narrative paths and even a distinct playable character can probably be foregone or exchanged if the game still attempts to uphold the values of a roleplaying game.
Skyrim drastically reduces its complexity as an RPG and fails to meet those criteria in anything but their most literal definition and it fails the last criteria by practically any definition you can think of.
Essential NPCs, map markers and so on are practically anathema to a sense of freedom.

any fun new barber penis stories

How the fuck doesnt da: origins doesnt match the criteria? Did that retard thought that his playthrough was the only single way to finish the game?

and they still only make the same "fours niggas in a row" game ad nauseam, at least the glorified point and click games on the left have an interesting plot

expressionless and mute

no this chad, he even refers to himself in third person

interesting plot

Being a slightly shittier Grant Morrison/Neil Gaiman doesn't really quality as interesting. It certainly doesn't quality as fun, which is the baseline of what a video games should aim to be.

Sweetheart, nobody, and I mean nobody, knows who Grant Morrison is. Get out of your comic book bubble.

Sorry, I'd have picked from actual famous authors but I couldn't think of anyone mediocre enough.

side with furries, knife ears or break the curse

choose orzamaar's new king

kill flemeth or let her possess morrigan

kill some kid or go to the fade and kill the demon

fucking sparing loghain and let him join your party while allistair fucks off

each of these choices have different rewards and lasting impacts on the worldbuilding of the setting and sequels

anons were right to make fun of him

Boy have I got the perfect person in mind
