hello friend
Arcane
I can hardly see myself using a computer 10 years from now
Prolly quit gaming within next 5

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
My mom held me as a 1-2 year old with a controller in her hand and Dark Cloud on the TV screen.I started playing computer games (platformers and adventure games) when I was 3 years old and my dad played stuff like Monkey Island with me.
I haven't stopped playing computer games since then, and I'm not ever going to.
Yeah, color me book addict too.^^^ Addict detected.
Of course, the problem arises when it becomes an ADDICTION. Addictions are bad, granted. But if you still manage to study or work, and use your free time to play, who cares? Who has the right to judge you? Are you better off listening to the unreasonable requests of some bitch and granting her every wish? Because that's what some people would think, but it's not really a good scenario either. Not better, at least.
Stop playing regurgitated shit, moron(*). If you want your stats to matter, play AoD, Underrail or The Dwarf Run. It's not like anyone talks about these games here, I know.I don't know... I think it was when I played Dungeon Siege and I realized "I'm really just pointing and clicking."
Then I played DA:O - and too many people liked it. I started thinking, "maybe I'm just getting old."
Then I played Diablo III and it assigned your points for you while I ran around and hit things.
Then I played Skyrim and I said "three stats?"
I'm losing interest as role playing RPG games become first person FPS shooters, cut-scene bloated horrors, romance novels, loaded up with minimal stats which impact nothing, and have mountains of loot raining from the sky.
I'll admit with so many big companies, small companies, and green-light games competing for space, there is a lot to choose from, so maybe my world view focus' on the bad, but not much fascinates me in the genre much anymore. Couldn't even get myself to finish M&M X. The most fun I had in the last year or so was playing Wizardry 8 and I spend as much time bitching at the top of my lungs as I did enjoying myself.
So, in conclusion, I guess I'd be happy to play 80's and 90's rpgs until I die (like playing Ultima 7 for the 10th or so time) but I just can't get it up for new releases anymore.
