Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

Sounds like the new VTMB will have a lot of inner monologue. :)

Well, it's not bad in and of itself. It sucked in Titanfall because straight up campaign dialogue was playing on top of fast paced FPS gameplay. Get your goal done but still under fire and running for your life with bullets flying everywhere? Don't care!! Here's 30 seconds of dialog you cannot even hear...

Of course it's easy to err the other direction and have all the dialog utterly destroy the pacing of action, too.

It's why I specifically mentioned FPS games. It's no big deal to sit around conversing or just watching stuff unfold for 10 minutes in an RPG. Do that in an FPS game that happens to have a deep story, then you better hope you've properly telegraphed to the audience that the action is over for a while!
