but i'm from 4chan that's why i put "Anon" in the comic

Reported. Back to >>>/v/ with the rest of your shit friends.

Back when JRPGs were dumb enough to let you name your characters, yes, constantly. Or should I say, it still happens when I play ye olde RPGs.

>>8242755
>ye olde
You mean
>le olde
amirite?

>>8242771
No, actually, you're not right. I meant what I said.

>>8242792
it's a meme, moron
Here, some homework:

>>8242836
You're probably trolling but I reported you anyway for good measure.

>>8242845
is there a problem?

>>8242755
>Naming your characters
>Dumb
You are fucking retarded.

It's a pointless gimmick and a hamfisted attempt at adding customization for no real purpose. All characters are addressed by a certain name in canon and other materials anyway (Link, Cloud, etc.) so why bother?

Also voice acting etc.

Where's the RP in RPG these days?

>>8242853
We're not talking about an immersive role-playing campaign with other 5 guys here. Letting you change how one word will appear on the script doesn't even deserve being called a game feature.

>>8242863
Please don't implying that video game RPGs have anything to do with pen and paper RPGs. There's no "role playing" involved. The two genres just share a name because one was derived from the other. That's it.

>>8242853

Yeah, because the name you choose for Dragonborn is really going to affect anything in Skyrim.

Nope, you're Dragonborn. Shut the fuck up.

Custom names are pointless.

>>8242865

What about TES and games directly based off D&D like Neverwinter nights and Ice wind dale?

>>8242865
What should video RPG be called?

>>8242851
good troll dude u owned my butt xD *bulgebumps* lets go fucks sum girls and drink beers and do the marijuana

>>8242865
But "Hello $NAME!" is so much more immersive than "Hello Smith!" because it's PERSONAL TO MEEE.

>>8242874
Oh I'm not contesting their name. They're fine being called "RPGs", I'm not THAT autistic.

And how are you supposed to name the female lead "SLUT"or "WHORE" guys?

>>8242851
Yes, why is your mouth not around my cock, dude?

>>8242876
You're still not role playing. You can't really role play in a single player game with AIs, at least not yet. Even if you think that you're "acting out" your character by sitting in the tavern you're just wasting your own time. The whole role playing mechanic comes from sitting around a table with other fat, greasy nerds and pretending you're a half-elven sorceress hitting on John's "character" because you want to fuck him in real life.

>>8242887

Did you not play with toys as a child? It's much in the same vein as that.

>>8242896
You're an adult, Anonymous. You'll either pretend to be a wizard with other people as pathetic as yourself, or you won't pretend to be a wizard at all.

>>8242896
No we didn't¹.

>he has a source

OMG I LAFF SO HARD AND WONT STOP
XXXXXXXXDDDDDDDD

No but seriously I lost my shit when I read this.

Imaginary wizards harm nobody.

>>8242885
That behavior has always befuzzled(?) me. I think one doesn't see it much on young adults, but back in the day, I never understood what was up with that.
Why would one call a character "SLUTXDDD" (or "FAGGOTXDDDDDD" for Gary/Shigeru on Pokemon RBY)? I feel one would have to be... retarded is not the word, but it comes close, to do that.

>>8242916
befuddled, or puzzled

>>8242916
I always called Blue "ADOLF" because it was edgy and funny.
I also named my Metapod "PENIS" so it would say "PENIS used HARDEN!" I thought I was very clever until recently when I've discovered everyone on the Internet did exactly the same thing.

>>8242916
Oh, but it was on purpose.

Eh, it's still not as irritating as "confuzzled" YOU'RE NOT "CUTE" YOU FUCKING 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL FAGGOTS FUCK I WOULD RAPE YOU SO HARD JUST SO YOU'D SHUT THE FUCK UP TRYING TO BE RANDOM AND WEIRD _JUST_ _LIKE_ _EVERYONE_ _ELSE_

I need a nap.

My team in FFIX is the one that always struck out at me.

Zidane
Steiner
Vivi
GARNET

I usually just put "You" or "I".

>>8242927
die

>>8242921
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
I can only imagine the thought process of a young kid while doing that: "Hehehe... I'll name this girl SLUT. Because she's a SLUT, Heheheh XDDD. I don't know where she comes from because I don't read the text (if I wanted to read I'd read a book, right?!!1). But boy, she has some big boobies. THAT'S WHY SHE'S A SLUT, RIGHT? XDDDDDD".
...Or something like that. It's horrifying.

>>8242955

I think you really could use a nap. You really are talking nonsense now.

>>8243033
B-but! But! What else could they be thinking while giving those names to the characters?
