The Entire History of RPG's

[Nikanuur]

Does anyone know what is this game shown during the first moments?

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

A 3 hour video on RPGs and he spends about 2 minutes talking about Morrowind—arguably the greatest and most important RPG ever made. Should I bother watching the rest of it or is 2 minutes of WIND the most I'll get?

How is it important. Other than being ported to xbox and showing Beth that they can do it but I guess that's not what you think it should be credited for.

Unless I'm mistaken that's the big Act 2 dungeon in BG3 just from an unusual angle, all the footage next to it is more obviously BG3.

 

[Jvegi]

He doesn't mention KotC. Very weird.

An editing mistake, I'm sure. He'll reupload the video soon.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Overall the video is very balanced in it's approach to detailing the history of the RPG genre. It would be impossible to feature every game and not have a 6 hour video.

Excited to watch his future video on jrpgs.

 

[Jadeite]

miserable fuck who does he think he is?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Does he mention Stuart Smith and his games? What about Hydlide? What about all those shareware titles? And why didn't he title it CRPGS instead of RPGs? He'll obviously skip the entire pnp TTRPG franchise (which most just say RPG)

*this gif reminds me of some Might & Magic 3-5 mob. Hmmm... there are a lot of codex assets for an rpg to be made.

Anyway, I'm kind of tired and this might put me to sleep.

 

[octavius]

why didn't

you make the definite history of CRPGs video?

 

[Faarbaute]

Who are these summary video essays for anyway?

videos are for low-attention 'tards. We have CRPG Book by felipepepe and friends, and that's what prestigious ladies and gentlemen read.

Youtube videos cannot compare, not even if you treat them as a summary of a summary, they just omit too much.

It's like a TV show you have on the background while you do something else. I put it on the second monitor while I'm doing something else on the main one.

He mentions both Hydlide and Jeff Vogel in passing.

NeverKnowsBest is an enthusiast of modern RPGs and knows them well. However, everything before Dragon Age: Origins is blurry for him, and games from the late 1980s and 1990s are forced erudition.

Yep, i got about halfway after falling asleep several times. This morning T-mobile just refuses to send a decent bandwidth to play vids so that means about 6 am.

I saw the Hydlide mention, no Smith, saw the TTRPG mentions and wargaming. There was barely mention of Darklands but as was said here, a more complete coverage would bloat this lengthy video to 6+ hours.

I've never purchased any of the paperback rpg histories but I did explore the high seas and plundered what I could. That's more than I did for tabletop histories. There comes a point I hardly care and would rather read about religious eschatology and cosmogonies and archaeology.

And dino brain says read porn but that's a real fucking waste.

As someone who read CRPG Book in its entirety, I did not found much new in this video, but it was a fantastic video nonetheless, and serves great as a visual primer to RPG computer game history. It was interesting to see the failure of the big 90s RPG developers when transitioning to 3D, only for RPGs to be revived by 2D Fallout and BG. 3D was just not ready yet for games like this. Shooters, sure. RPGs, not so much. Deus Ex and Gothic restarted the 3D era well though.

 

[MerchantKing]

I'm not gonna watch this video. I don't like him so it must be a bad video.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I think early 3D changed up a lot of gaming and not just rpgs. It was a painful transition for some franchises. I still have old wounds from trying to massage Lara's tits.

Fuck that kid and his nasal voice. I'll play the old 'tard here : this approval of social media on traditional forums such as the Codex should be seen as bad etiquette by default. We're maintaining an old form, with old tastes, old dicks and so on. Gotta have some writing somewhere at least. Old writing, preferably. I don't know what that means

Do I have the blog for you! https://lilura1.blogspot.com/p/crpg-blog.html

Well he has 250k+ subscribers, so it's his job, I guess! Lots of money!

Once you have more than a few thousand subscribers on YouTube you can pretty much reliably be classed as an "Average Joe". Probably why no one here cares what he says. He's just doing what he can to make money.

I think he cares...about games like Dragon Age, even Pillars. Or MMO. But everything else is forced.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Does 250k youtube subscribers do anything or a million likes? You get money for that? Patreon, Kickstarter, gofundme, onlyfans, and snapchat I make sense but tbh, I have no clue how any of this online shit works. We don't get paid for brofists earned or post whoring here.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Oh lol this is the guy who said critics of Emil Pagliarulo were "defaming" him. Jesus what a faggot.

 

[NecroLord]

I'm really curious what exactly is Emil's design philosophy?
I remember him saying something like "Keep it simple, stupid" when he was working on Skyrim, I believe?
Reminder that he also worked on Thief 2: The Metal Age.
Yeah...
What changed?
