Secrets to an Amazing Role-Playing Game

 Secrets to an Amazing Role-Playing Game

By Colin W. R. Chadwick

Simulation games are a very sophisticated type of game that really needs more attention than some less-focused genres. Since the computer version of this genre first appeared there were some money-hungry companies who decided to get into that genre without really trying to understand what are the essential features of a role play. In some cases, these companies actually had the courage to buy small companies that knew the genre and destroyed the old assets owned by the big traditional games.

Considering that this may have an impact on the future of computer simulations I have seen the need to educate these bullies in an effort to help them understand what is truly important to them. In order to sell role-plays you need an audience that is willing to buy the product and if the company constantly puts out shooters pretending that the simulation will only damage its reputation and ruin it. I know that the word 'em' is a word used by these companies who are hungry for money so I'm emphasizing one point, try to sell it to fans who imitate photographers and you will fall!

Personally, I have been an actor for almost thirty years and fell in love with only two programs that I can say because of the guidelines for writing articles. All I can say is that very few game production companies have even come close to the pen and paper versions of the best role-playing games, you know, that people enjoy playing. I will say that I was happy when the simulation games became computerized as it meant that I was able to imitate them without the need to hunt down people who love the same things and although some games have turned into great simulations, sadly a few in the middle. In that note, in the style of simulation games that include pen and paper, computer games and online games, there is only one genre that can meet the rooted needs of the role-player and I will reveal why later.

Okay, what are the features of a good simulation game then? I will give you one at a time but the most important advice you should keep in mind during all this discussion is immersion. To be a really good role-playing game, you have to draw the attention of the players and not bring in games that allow the player to slip back into the real world. The actor must be kept in the world of legends if he wants to hear that he has experienced a good role-playing game.

One of the most important aspects of immersion is the story; a really believable but plausible story. The actor does not want to download a new game and finds out in his disappointment that the story involves a small idea that they have to kill a lot of things in order to get enough information to kill someone who seems corrupt. Who wants to play a game where the bad guy is selected as the bad guy for no good reason? Have you ever played a game where you were part of a group and were chosen to win over a group of people but there was no real evidence that the other team was bad? The worst thing in these latest criminal games is when a criminal organization wants to defeat another criminal organization and you beat them. Who is really foolish to fall into such a trap? Certainly not for smart players.

A good story cannot be a shallow excuse for war and should be something you would like to be a part of. The story should also be incorporated into the game itself and be presented in a way that does not interfere with the reality of the gameplay as well. There is nothing worse than a large cut-out scoop that falls during the game and keeps you idle for more than a minute or two. For actors, the immersion of the game comes from being a character, not from watching cut-out scenes as if you were watching television. What're next ... ads?

Another part of a good gaming experience is knowing that you have been a part of the mythical world since you were born. This is manifested by knowing where things are in the world and by knowing who the leaders are, and knowing the events that are taking place now. This can be done discreetly by providing snacks of information in a natural way during conversations with non-actors. Some of the most important information can be presented with insignificant sarcasm, such as in the world that you are currently immersed in.

One thing that will get the actor out of the game is a sudden unnecessary conversation with a quickly introduced character who explains where the next local village is and that you have to be careful because there is a war or something like that. This is only done in games where maps are updated as you find places you are interested in. Making a big city not more than ten miles from your current location is something you should find is foolish and suited to situations where you have been sent something new or you have lost your memory though it should be used. a bit as there are already too many games relying on a character with amnesia. Discovery can be done in very subtle ways by having secret locations within the already known areas and this is what gives the participant a sense of access to information.

Another problem with immersion is the introduction of romantic interest in the game without your participation. You play away, you pay attention to your business and suddenly, one of the most intriguing characters you do not know exists, you become involved in the game because of the important role they play in the team of which you are a part. . They should, at the very least, allow a bit of flirtation in the chat rooms before romantic interest is embedded in the mix. To me, a person who is suddenly interested in that kind is a stupid immersion because there was nothing that creates a relationship. If there is a potential romantic interest in the game, it should be presented in a convincing way and should not go out of the control of the characters.

There was one game in which this and the involvement of the two couples was an excuse that one of the non-actors did the worst for the sponsorship and the other became huge support. Sure, the idea was novel but also very childish because it was thought that these two romantic interests were so fascinated by the actor that no one could do it without him. It was worse than watching Baywatch or Desperate Housewives.

I would add something else to the mix because I would not have come to a conclusion if I had allowed myself to express all the requirements for the role-playing games. As I said before, the important thing is to be immersed in water. The real point for me is not being able to develop the type of character I want. I have experienced this many times in games where you have no choice over character traits that you can improve. Yes, this is a very bad situation and there are many games that allow limited development but there are only a few games that allow a real sense of improvement.

A really good role-playing game should allow players to progress anywhere and compensate for this flexibility by combining multiple modes in the game. There is no need to create a computer simulation game if the character does the same thing in every gameplay. The most annoying of these problems is a game where you can have a character who uses spelling but develops the same spelling in the same place throughout the game running. It is a little excuse for the types of heroes but once again there are many games that allow a lot of different fighting styles.

Now, if I were to continue with this discussion I would add other topics such as renaming attributes for no good reason, allowing more than one application at a time, real-world purchase requirements during the game, and other irrational processes.

I promise to show you what kind of game is best in simulation though, here it is. Offline computer games are the only games that allow for complete immersion and I will explain why.

Unlike high table games, you are not distracted by the requirement to physically access and move the pieces that take you out of the episode itself. Compared to pen and paper games, you do not have to look at the tables or engage in lengthy discussions about how the rules should be interpreted. Multiplayer role-playing online games do not meet the requirements and I know some of you will be surprised but when did you end up playing a computer simulation game and one of the players had to leave because going to work and letting you know it was a different time in their world.

Computer role games are the only type of simulation game where the characters live in the game, you don't have to just work if something is allowed by the rules and the user interaction is always the same for immersion to work best.

In conclusion, the best role-playing games are based on a stand-alone home computer and do not involve contact with other real-world people who will throw a spanner in immersion activities. The storyline should be solid and presented in a natural way, assuming your character already knows the world of fiction, has no quick romantic interests, and has the ability to develop your character in any way other than sewing and structural techniques that allow this. development.

I only hope that gaming companies are aware of this and see that they are performing role-playing games and if they are not in the character market, they should call their games differently.
