I was just never a fan of RPGs, or games heavy on dialogue and story, questing, turn based games... So I didn't play ANY of their games.

Books: The video game.

[EDIT: This is a joke about video games that have a lot of reading in them. Which clearly, I don't like. Ironically I love choose your own adventure books.]

    Nothing, I just prefer video games to be actual video games. If I wanted to read a book, I'd just read a book.

    RPGs are videogames. And they are much more than just reading a book. It depends on what type of RPG we talk about; Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Skyrim, Disco Elysium, Fire Emblem, Baldur's Gate 3, Witcher 3, Mass Effect just to name a few. It is more than just reading a book, solve puzzles, be the character you play, customize the builds, learn spells, tactics and buy and sell items, find secrets.

    You don't have to like it, but saying RPG games are just books is a false statement. This isn't even an opinion, it is plain and simply wrong.

    I never said RPGs aren't games. I made a joke about games that have a lot of reading in them:

    "Books: The Video Game."

    ...and now everyone is butthurt about it and I don't care. I like the games I like. I'm not going to argue or strawman about it, because that would be stupid and a waste of my time.

    Liar. You edited your previous reply to

    Nothing, I just prefer video games to be actual video games.

    Which previously stated that RPGs aren't videogames.

    Never said (or edited out) the claim that RPGs aren't video games. The last edit on my comment was made 2 hours ago, your reply is from an hour ago. So you're what they call: A sad little liar man.

    You did said it. I should have quoted it. It was a direct response to that statement. You said RPGs aren't videogames, and my entire replay is based on that as a direct response. Lesson learned. Quote the stuff I reply to, because there are always liars like you. The post also shows it was edited:

    Edit: I got confused for a moment and deleted this part.

    Dark Cloud was a pretty cool RPG. Action/RPG, but both the first and the sequel were pretty heavy on dialogue. I liked the "town building" feature where you could save the villagers and find objects in the dungeons to reconstruct the town. But hot damn, your namesake was a text heavy couple o' games, bub. Dark Cloud I was actually a launch title for PS2. I had it. Great game.
