Are RPGs a dying breed being replaced by action/adventure?

I've been hyped for the new TES, but I know in my heart of hearts they're going to dumb it down even worse than Fallout 4

Hit the nail on the head with that diagram, actually doing a NV playthrough at the moment

Which games are you looking forward to in the genre? I’m hoping outer worlds delivers something that resembles their fallout spinoff, and of course I expect good story telling from CDPR but their games have always been linear action/adventure with some strong choices to make. But the choices were never driven by character builds.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooorrrrttttyyyyyy

No offense but it looked like zany facebook-Mom trash. The bad humor was so pervasive.

everything i love is dying, even females, girls are not feminine anymore

Nah, they are just evolving.

I think most people are interested in the narrative control and immersive aspects of RPGs more than they are interested in strategy/tactics or a pen/paper tabletop experience.

Let people make some decisions about how they play the game and how they interact with the story and you have a good recipe for success.

>girls are not feminine anymore
Stop shoving incel memes into your brain before it's too late.

You have to go back.

t. doesn't interact with females

I'm married you chimpoid.

you're right. that narrative control and immersion is the core of the tabletop experience, all those numbers, levelling, are just there to reinforce the roleplaying part of an rpg. people don't praise planescape for it's combat, they praise it for the freedom and choice in the dialogue. unfortunately, purists get hung up on the technical parts of rpgs rather that the roleplaying part.

the problem though is I'm not sure most modern rpgs are evolving along these lines, if anything they are streamlining the roleplaying and limiting freedom by consolidating play styles/roles, paths, choices etc. plus, the levelling and development of a character is important so we can fine tune our character mechanically.

>zany facebook-Mom trash

>15 factions
yeah okay.
face it, nigger. It's just ncr vs legion

They each influence the rest of the game retard
The ncr and the legion are just the biggest
Also the legion is based & redpilled

Didn't we just have five cRPGs get released in a span of five years?

yeah because crimson caravan, the three enclave retards and powder gangers influences very much
just face it nigger

Yeah, the thing is modern "RPGs" don't offer much narrative control or immersion either. At best they give you the illusion of those things while actually having few meaningful choices and being very linear.

>just face it nigger
Yes i realize new vegas is the best fallout game that gives you many choices and ways to play
Stay mad Todd

Well, 3 had minor factions like reillys rangers, talon company, the vampire guys, tenpenny and megaton.

>Which games are you looking forward to in the genre?

Bladur's Gate 3, after playing Divinity OS2 I'm very sure Larian can do no wrong.

It's NCR vs House, legion isn't a real choice.

Give me sequel Pathfinder! Give me sequel Baldur's Gate! Give me Cyberpunk! Do NOT give me Outer Worlds it does NOT have wife!

They wouldn't be dying if devs didn't fall for the SJW shit.

Yes but all the big ones coming up are just glorified first person shooters, it's easy to focus on the big names and ignore all else.

Or had an ounce of genuine creativity. Maybe it is there but the demand for games for all possible demographics keeps it too simple and stupid.

Dying?
They have been dead since the 90s.

Nah fuck off with that. There’s a great balance that can be struck between good game and good roleplay. Early 90s RPGs were just pen and paper with a virtual UI, they were barely video games.

Games like Fallout NV offer just as much creativity and choice as Fallout 1, and do so in a more interactive 3D setting.

The natural evolution of video game RPGs should have been exactly this transition, but the character building and skills and complexity has been lost in favor of pure fps action and cinematic cutscenes.

That’s not the problem. There’s no SJW RPGs with the complexity of a proper rpg.

True to NV all the pre-release material is mediocre FPS gameplay, Yea Forums will go back to slobbering Obsidian's cock once people have their hands on the game.

Idk, the game doesn’t seem as interesting in concept as fallout

>Currently replaying Fallout 3
>Listen to Galaxy Radio
>Lots of news basically telling your family's sob story, main character is such a special snowflake, etc
Fuck I hate this shit so much

THREEEEEEEEE DAWGGGGGGG AND YOURE LISTENING TO GALAXY NEWS RADIO. TELLING YOU THE TRUTH. NO MATTER HOW BAD IT HURTS

It seems like Fallout with a different plot and location. If story is important then this game could falter depending on its target demo.
If shooting and rpg elements are centered it could be great.

This actually seems better. It gives me the vibes of being an explorer, while the original feels like the typical modern rpg on rails.

What's up with human Fox McCloud?

I also like New Vegas and don't like 3 but this image is really gay and whoever made it is gay. Also can someone explain why Fox News is in the image?

What? You have the wrong elements. Story and rpg should be emphasized, with gameplay taking a backseat like in New Vegas.

Also Fallout was just Wasteland with a twist. Wouldn’t be the first time Boyarsky and Cain reimagined their source material

Because it is going to. The gameplay looks like dogshit, as usual from Obsidian, and Obsidian has no decent writers at all now. They never really did, have always been a garbage dev, but they've gone a lot further down the drain in recent years.

Duh now fuck off normie.

What’s wrong with Boyarsky and Cain? They wrote the original Fallout and that turned out just fine. Same thing with Arkanum.

You can't write a good game without triggering an army of feminists and trannies.

Ohya? We must have played different fallout 3 games cause those seemed more like strings of quests instead of actual factions.

Exactly what parts of Fallout would trigger feminists?

What were they?

I genuinely don't know. All recent RPGs that were praised I just couldn't get through (PoE 1 and 2, Divinity, Witcher III)

I don't get it. I always wind up back to Fo1 and Planescape

Problem is we might get something like Pillars of Eternity, long in plot and story but I wanted some baldurs gate action.

I think gameplay has to complement story for rpgs. Also I agree with you when it comes to JRPGS, due to suffering from similar plots with decent gameplay but since I know what to expect in the plot, characters, and progression I gave of on them. It is actually the B rpgs that got me back into the genre, strangely enough Shadowrun Returns.

You know.

I felt that way about new vegas, thought it was just a rehash of fallout 3s ugly assets without anything going for it, started playing at a friends house and thought it was weird. He let me play through the whole thing and I fell in love with it. I also think this fucking sucks so far and pretty skeptical about this game though.
