Brooke Silva+FollowIs Shallah the Next Lost RPG Gem?JP Games’ ambitious RPG, inspired by One Thousand and One Nights and helmed by the director of Final Fantasy 15, has hit a major pause. The collaboration with Quantum Solutions is stalled after feedback on the demo, raising questions about creative vision versus market demands. Are we losing out on unique, adult-focused RPGs because studios are playing it too safe? Would you rather see bold risks or proven formulas in your next big game? #Games #VideoGames #RPGDebate00Share
Eric Stevens+FollowCrunchy RPGs: Are We Losing the Fun?Josh Sawyer from Obsidian just reignited the classic RPG debate: Should games keep their deep, complex systems, or go all-in on accessibility? As someone who craves tinkering with stats and tough choices, I get the appeal of 'crunchy' gameplay. But is it really a mistake to simplify for broader audiences? Can developers balance both without losing what makes RPGs special? Where do you stand—sweaty challenge or story cruise? #Games #VideoGames #RPGDebate00Share
sabrinawhitaker+FollowShould Every RPG Let You Respec?Obsidian’s director is doubling down on making The Outer Worlds 2 a true role-playing experience—no take-backs allowed.

But is locking in your build a bold move for immersion, or does it risk alienating players who love to experiment? Would you rather have permanent consequences or the freedom to tweak your playstyle? #RPGDebate #GameDesign #PlayerChoice #Games00Share
Aaron Patterson+FollowWhat If Witcher 3 Ended Like Mass Effect?Imagine if The Witcher 3 wrapped up with a high-stakes, all-or-nothing suicide mission, inspired by Mass Effect 2. CD Projekt Red almost went there, but pivoted to a more personal finale for Geralt. Would a dramatic, party-based showdown have made the ending more epic—or less meaningful? With Witcher 4 on the horizon, should devs revisit these scrapped ideas or keep pushing for deeper, character-driven stories? #Witcher3 #GameDevelopment #RPGDebate #Games30Share

But are we looking at real gameplay or just another cinematic sizzle reel? The promise of advanced melee combos and creative potion crafting is huge, but can Push On deliver on this hype?

Amanda Short+FollowAre RPG Fans Really Just 'Cave Nerds'?BioWare’s David Gaider just spilled some tea: EA execs once believed RPG fans would buy anything labeled as an RPG, no matter the quality. That mindset led to more cinematic, action-heavy games, sidelining the crunchy mechanics old-school fans loved. Did chasing a broader audience water down what made BioWare special, or was it necessary evolution? Where do you stand on the spectacle vs. substance debate in modern role-playing games? #BioWare #RPGDebate #GameDesign #Games10Share

The seamless combat and dynamic animations look almost too polished, sparking debates about what’s truly possible in-engine. Are we witnessing the next leap in immersive action RPGs, or is this another case of smoke and mirrors? Watch the trailer and weigh in—can this game deliver on its flashy promise? #Alkahest #GameDev #RPGDebate #Games00Share
Brooke Silva+FollowIs Kingsroad Worth Your Gold?Game of Thrones: Kingsroad just dropped, and fans are split. Some say it’s a surprisingly deep RPG for a mobile-first game, with cinematic cut-scenes and open-world battles. But others are frustrated by pricey microtransactions and buggy controller support. Is the free-to-play model killing the vibe, or is this just the new normal for mobile RPGs? Would you pay $30 for a Battle Pass, or does that cross the line? Let’s debate: does Kingsroad live up to the Game of Thrones legacy? #GameOfThrones #MobileGaming #RPGDebate #Games00Share
Ashley Cooper+FollowIs Game AI Finally Worth Sneaking For?Oblivion Remastered has me rethinking how much time I spend just poking around NPC homes. Bethesda’s upgraded world-building and lighting tech makes every house feel alive—sometimes more interesting than the main quest! Is this the gold standard for immersive simulation, or just nostalgia with a new coat of paint? Are we finally seeing AI-driven worlds that reward curiosity, or is it still smoke and mirrors? #OblivionRemastered #GameAI #ImmersiveWorlds #Bethesda #RPGDebate #Games00Share
norma13+FollowIs Hierarchy the Ultimate Game Hack?After hours in Oblivion Remastered, I built my own middle-management empire—delegating every dangerous quest to a squad of henchmen led by the infamous Adoring Fan. Watching my NPC army swarm daedra made me wonder: is leveraging in-game hierarchy the smartest way to play, or does it kill the spirit of adventure? Are we optimizing or just outsourcing the fun? Let’s debate: does the executive approach make RPGs better, or does it break immersion? #OblivionRemastered #GameDesign #NPCStrategy #RPGDebate #TechTalk #Games00Share
