RPG's Suck? * 1
    #18983275 - 10/15/13 08:36 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

As ive gotten older, games have gotten more and more in depth. You can do so much crap with your characters, such as survive, work out, play casino games, drink alcohol.....fuck it wont be long until they have you buy your own groceries in GTA 6 :rolleyes:

Anyone else fell like this is kind of sad? I mean, why not do the LIVING in real life? Why dont you actually GO to a casino, or call a girl and actually GO on a date, or actually HAVE sex. Why are they cramming "Living" Into video games?

As a 16 yr old with no life years ago, It was fun.....but I cant imagine that being their general target these days. Are people that fucking lame that they would rather live in a video game? For crying out loud dont buy The SIMS go make yourself a fucking sandwich and watch TV....In your own house :foreheadslap: Instead of buying Uncharted you probably could of bought a ticket to spend a week in Central America for the price of your gaming.

None of them games you described are really RPGs. RPGs are fucking amazing and the only games I really like. I rarely play them though cause they are addicting as hell and time consuming as fuck. But they don't feel like such a waste of time as online FPS. I used to be a FPS shooter addict and all it really was a waste of time. At least RPGs have goals and an ending. I personally prefer either RPGs or sandbox games with an occasional online shooter but I try to stay away from that addictive shit. I work out and play guitar and I work and I just don't have time for games anymore. Love em to death but nope. I liked the Elder Scrolls and metal gear solid, some of the older final fantasies (7-10) and And that's about it for current games that I would play still if I had time.

If anybody here is really into RPG's like me, you should strongly consider playing nethack. Free download linked below.

One of the most challenging, rewarding, well done, in depth games of all time. I'm not fucking around

You can find ROUND trip tickets to Latin America for $350 if you look hard enough. Once you are there housing and food is extremely cheap. Not to mention everything else.

Tell me how much was your computer SON :morningtoke:

man, off topic. But buying pre-made computers is a waste of time and money. You can make a significantly more powerful machine for the same price as the one at best buy just by buying all the parts and putting it together yourself. (which is easy)

And that way, you get full customization.

Assembling a computer from store bought components is pretty damn easy if you have enough manual dexterity to use a screwdriver or put together Lego. Your average 12 year old could probably figure it out. Choosing the components takes some research and planning though.

i have heard of places (i think in asia) that are popular for surfers or something, basically people can just save up a couple thousand a live comfortably and surf all day for a year... been thinking about that some and how great it would be lol (i don't surf but hey i have a couple times, and i hate working lol), just live and work somewhere with low rent save up ten grand and take off for a few years and not have to work, rinse and repeat as desired...

you still have all the drivers to install, the softwares, and sometimes there's is troubleshooting involved. not so easy if you know nothing about those things.

I dunno man, even all the drivers have been relatively idiot proof all the times I've done it.

Yes you have to be somewhat tech savvy. But I imagine an intelligent person could do it with minimal research.

Once I forgot an operating system :facepalm: Had to save up for a little bit longer after getting all the components put together, then order and wait for the OS :rofl:

See there are just as many kids going out and doing things, just depending on where you look. At lot of lower income families have to rely on video games and tv to occupy their time. I'm sure they would love to travel once their parents took them out to do it but they don't have the means too.

All about how you were raised and what your parents did with you when you were developing from day one. If they left in front of a tv all day while at critical stages of development, you are going to be far worse off than a baby that traveled, went places, spent a lot of time outside, ect...

Yes there are cases of rich fucks not doing anything but playing video games but its not very common.

:cheers:

Even when I used my time to do more thoughtful things besides surf the internet/tv or whatever I'd still spend like 7-10 hours a week playing a videogame

Nah I'm almost sure you died if you didn't eat for too long, your mealth may have went down quicker too but I'm not sure its been a while since I played, and you lost your stamina & muscle, but yeah if you ate alot you could get fat, if you got really fat and ran for too long you would have a heart attack and die.

But one time I got super fat on purpose and tried running and I died.

But yeah Almond Flour I agree I think video games are a lame way to spend your time.

The only game I really play any more is Microsoft Flight Simulator, and I only play that because I want to be a pilot but my vision is shitty so that's not going to happen.

I also very rarely play hunting games when it's not hunting season here because I enjoy hunting, but I don't play during hunting season though because I just go out in my woods and do some real life hunting which is much more enjoyable.
