Why almost all cRPG games are set in fantasy world, i hate

Post Reply New Topic

I hate this, mags, goblin, elf i just hate all this crap, mayby not entirely.

I wonder if one could not do cRPG, without fantasy elements

Once i tried The Elder Scrolls IV, nice graphic, but it's to fantasy to me.

I really love Mass Effect: Trilogy i thinks it's best game ever.

maybe you'd like borderlands?

One word: Fallout.

cRPG?

Um...

What?

I'm familiar with WRPG and JRPG, but what's a cRPG?

cRPG is "Computer RPG". It's typically used to describe the whole "Wasteland/Ultima" style of RPG that came out on the PC/Amiga/Apple II in the eighties and nineties as a distinct entity from the Console RPG. Usually it was based on D&D mechanics and had a great deal more freedom. It was western dominated and usually was considered to stand in opposition to the Final-Fantasy-style jRPGs.

I say was, because like adventure games, it's dwindled as technology improved.

As for the offshoots that you might want to give a shot that aren't fantasy...

Try Fallout, Wasteland 2 (When it comes out), Mass Effect, Jade Empire, Alpha Protocol, Gorky 17, Jagged Alliance, and Deus Ex. They aren't strictly cRPGs, but they're the descendants of the genre.

me I love elder scrolls skyrim to me is one of the best games ever cant wait for the new crpg to come out gona kill a lot of time playing that one

The Fallout series was mentioned already. Post-apocalyptic world with a very unique style. The games have different endings, and even different endings for many of the locations you visit. Fallout: New Vegas is fairly recent. It is more sandboxy than Mass effect (I think, never played ME). Essentially Oblivion or Skyrim without the fantasy. I think Fallout 3 and New Vegas even run on some version of the Oblivion engine.
Fallout 1 and 2 are 2d games with turn-based combat. I couldn't get 1 to run properly on my system, but 2 works fine here.

Another one might be Vampire: Bloodlines. Vampires and such are fantasy, but the game is set in modern Los Angeles. It doesn't feel like fantasy when you are gunning down gangsters with a shotgun. This game also has one of the funniest tutorials in the beginning. Jack is a very colourful character.

One thing I wish we saw more of is historical RPGs. There's a handful out there but none that really stand out as being "great"

Idunno, I thought Darklands was a really awesome game.

How many in the last decade and a half?

I would play it. I read about it and i would like to play it, if someone make remake

I looking for something based in history with good story but without BS like magic, mags, wizard etc.

Probably the closest you'll come to an RPG like that is the Mount & Blade series. It's fantasy, but no magic or elves. There's no story, but a lot of mods add one, and a lot of mods trash the low fantasy setting for a pure historical one, like Brytenwalda, which is about the British Dark Ages.

The one you my want to try is the third game. It's actually kinda got a story. It's set around the events of Henryk Sienkiewicz's books.

Yeah, I heard about it, I'm Polish

You mean Ogniem i Miczem "Mount & Bled With fire and sword"

I dunno, I like the Elder Scrolls lore more than the actual games, sometimes. I'm not exactly the biggest fantasy fan, either.
