I’m Just curious about, do you prefer RPGs (Role-Playing Games) or FPS (First-Person Shooters)? Personally, I love getting lost in the story and character development of RPGs, but the fast-paced action of FPS games is hard to resist. What about you? Which one do you enjoy more and why? Let’s hear your thoughts!
RPG and FPS don’t need to be exclusive tags.
For example cyberpunk does a pretty good job marrying the two.
I prefer games with a strong character creator which tend to be RPG games. I’ve been really enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3.
However, games like the sims, left4dead2 and the Borderlands series are pretty fun too.
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.
FPS, but mostly because I no longer have the free time to finish a 50-100 hour RPG.
CRPGs like Dragon Age Origins and BG3 are awesome
Technically it stands for “Computer RPG” but nowadays it’s more commonly meant as “Classic RPG”. It refers to any of those games like the classic Fallouts, Baldur’s Gates, Planescape Torment, that blend turn-based strategy game with RPG. Modern examples are BG3, Pathfinder: War of the Righteous, Pillars Of Eternity 2, Wasteland 3, etc.
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.
