RPG Maker Forums
(MODS: I'm not sure if it is the correct forum for such a thread, but if it is not, feel free to move it or delete it.)
Today we had a discussion with some of my acquaintances about the type of games we enjoy and the way we treat video games. On one hand, I usually play games to enjoy the story and/or to relax and have fun. On the other hand, these other people (almost all of them) were playing it for either achievements or competitive purpose. This made me realize how interesting this new medium is compared to everything else, as we don't even have a clear definition for it thanks to its interactivity and different uses. For some people, it is a medium to create art. For others, it is an (e-)sport. For others, it is just a thing used to waste time, nothing more, nothing else.
But what really *does* make a video game? How would you define it? And the most important: what do *you* want to get from a video game?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
