Used to play a ton of FPS, don’t really have the desire to do so anymore these days. Started up another heavily modded run of Skyrim the other day

I almost exclusively play VR FPS these days. I only have time for short <1hr play sessions so my RPG days are on hold until life allows it.

RPGs, specifically turn-based or strategy ones. Action is sometimes fine too. I like stuff with complex battle mechanics and tons of customisation/planning - anything that gets the brain working is fun, really.

I don’t like FPS in general. I’ve only completed Borderlands 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. I don’t like the perspective and the gameplay often feels dull to me. I don’t feel stimulated by them.

RPG’s. Specially turn-based. But it was many years now that they started turning those into shooters “with RPG elements.” At least we got some of my favorite series, like Mass Effect, Fallout, Bioshock, etcetera, out of the deal.

RPG without only focusing on FPS. I quite don’t like ARPG these days that don’t have a good story but add a lot to combat mechanics.

FPS by far … Most of the time I’m uninterested or minimally interested in a game’s story. If I wanted to read a book or watch a movie… That’s what I’d be doing.

If I’m playing a game it’s normally because I want a challenge or something to do that doesn’t involve being totally idle … and also doesn’t involve a ton of thinking.

I like alternating genres when I get too much of one thing or another. Although it might be undiagnosed ADHD kicking in and preventing me from focusing on one game for long

The Castlevania games have been organized into a couple of collections that are very inexpensive, and I would HIGHLY recommend those. They’re on PC and Switch.

I replay Castlevania 1 and 3 at least once a year.

I can dig both, but I much prefer precision platformers.

I think RPGs are a lot better at telling a story, but many of them don’t have interesting stories to tell. It’s also admittedly hard to develop that hook. So, while my most memorable games are RPGs, I usually get drawn more to FPSs.

The one exception to this feel is Half-Life 2. Something about the lack of ceremony behind level transitions, lack of objective markers or excess UI, and being “in” the environment in which characters are trying to accomplish their goals helps it feel more immersive. Sadly, not many AAA games have aimed to have expressive faces during gameplay since then to help sell the visuals.

Which RPGs are you playing that don’t have interesting stories to tell? Also, I feel like most FPS campaigns since Half-Life 2 have had similar or better facial animations.

GTA 4, loving Niko so much. His voice is funny.

I like both, depends on the mood. I like halo and SciFi fps games but the army propaganda ones such as cod got old pretty fast and are boring. RPGs I love them from chrono trigger to ff 7,8,9 and 10 to elder scrolls and mass effect.

Delta_V, do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

I like action games, including FPS, with RPG elements.

Borderlands and Diablo - I like that you can just jump in and start blasting without really having to read anything about the setting or characters

Fallout and Cyberpunk 2077 - slower paced and less immediately fun than the previous two, but the action does keep the story interesting

Pure RPGs can be fun as an engineering project - twisting the game’s systems to create unbalanced character builds.

Western or Japanese RPG?

Both. Both are good.

I loved playing the greats like Halo CE and Morrowind when they came out. Both were phenomenal games, and they’re still great now.

But if there is one genre I play more, it’s definitely FPS. I dont really play them for the violence, but I find the actions in the game more engaging for the time I can play them than an RPG like Skyrim or Dragon Quest. I have recently been enjoying Ready or Not and Zero Hour, but I also have been playing Yakuza Kiwami. I just finished the slog of the coliseum battles in Yakuza Kiwami so things might pick back up, but I never found any part of RoN or ZH as much of a slog as that part of Kiwami.
