Eternity At what age do you think you'll finally give up RPG's forever?

[anvi]

Curious what the RPGs in 2030s will look like.

Photo realistic awesomeness.

What the fuck kind of question is this?

Do you mean video games in general? Or the really nerdy ones?

I mean it's totally acceptable to binge play Skyrim while your girl is sucking you off. She's totally not gonna judge you, because Skyrim is fucking awesome.

But replace Skyrim with KotC or AoD and that's when people start looking funny at you. You become worse than a hipster.

You sound like someone who's had his expectations of his fellow man completely crushed.

deterministic system > RNG

 

[prodigydancer]

Never. Escapism is all that stands between myself and the edge beyond which lies the abyss of total insanity.

 

[leino]

i can't into rpgs for a few years now, only waiting for grimoire at this point tbh

 

[Clockwork Knight]

If anything, I become more and more obsessed with RPGs as I grow older. Maybe one day I'll reach critical mass and become RPG.

Promise you'll come back and define yourself for the codex

 

[Xorphitus]

I will continue until I fail my save vs death and die.

Grinding in VR until you are literally spent.

 

[Sykar]

Was this a serious poll?

 

[Theldaran]

Nigga pleeze... there's probably people here who were there when D&D was first created. Or some time later.

I'll quote a Magic card's flavour text: "life's too short to not do what you like".

 

[Ash]

Yep, as has been said, the only thing that will make me stop gaming in general is if they continue this ongoing trend of being utterly shit. But even that probably won't stop me because some mods and the occasional official game keep it real, rare as they are.

Mid-twenties. RPG's are for nerds who never get laid, you know.

Not true...although I don't get laid very often, yet I don't try as much these days because RPGs are better and I can't be bothered to invest time and effort in that shit.

 

[Ismaul]

Nothing will ever surpass our own imagination. Not even real girls.

Spoiler

Porn counts as imagination right?

 

[Severian Silk]

I promise I will quit playing RPGs if Crispy gets laid.

 

[Siveon]

I'll quit if I can get laid.

Spoiler

...For 20 minutes, then I'll boot up another RPG I won't bother to finish.

 

[Jacob]

I quit when I get laid

of course i'll return after i finished getting laid

 

[eXalted]

Only 3 "get laid" jokes in this thread? The Codex really is full of old people.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

I've played Fallout 1, 2 and NV + Planescape

It's all downhill from those games, isn't it?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Actually I already gave up on RPGs some five years ago. But that's because they have become stagnant and irrelevant. Either we get these 3rd-person action shooter/RPG bastards like Mass Effect, or some faux 90s retro shit like PoE and Tyranny. Nobody seems interested anymore to innovate on RPGs.

 

[Villagkouras]

The way I see it, RPGs are the perfect genre to play in small intervals, when you have work and kids. It's like episodes of series: Move through the main quest a bit, do some side stuff too, done. So, no reason to stop playing.

A few codexers will tell you it went downhill with those games.

 

[an Administrator]

RPGs keep me distracted from the shit going on in this place.
I will go crazy if i quit playing RPG.

 

[Popiel]

I already almost gave up, being 23 y/o. Before I played Tyranny some time ago I finished The Age of Decadence. One cRPG a year is not much. Besides, having played P:T and other classics I don't feel there's much more to be done here than that.

I haven't even played F3, F4, DA2 or DA:I.

I felt exactly like that at a similar age too. I felt like the good days of RPG's had gone because all the classic 90s tactical party based RPG's were in the past and everything being made was a dumb single player actiony type game. Elder Scrolls, Gothic, Two Worlds etc.. I still played them to check them out but always felt disappointed. Occasionally I would get a real RPG, but it was 1 game a year, maybe less. But here I am more than 10 years later and I am still playing stuff. I replay old games a lot, and occasionally there are new ones that are reawaken my love for rpg. They are rare, but occasionally something great comes along like Blackguards, Divinity Original Sin, etc. Which gives hope for the future because they bring new ideas. I mostly play other types of games, but that makes RPGs all the more special, because I really enjoy playing about 1 a year.
