Will there ever be a better RPG series?
I seriously think nothing surpasses V, VI and VII. I'm not even an oldfag or anything I'm literally a zoomer and am 100% convinced this is the peak of roleplaying.

As a frame of reference, here are my other favorite RPGs:
-SMT: Nocturne
-Dragon Quest V and VI
-Final Fantasy VI
-Baldur's Gate 1
-Fallout 1
-Digital Devil Saga
-Eye of the Beholder

It's still crazy popular in Japan, they are still making Wizardry games. It's definitely peak Western RPG because they moved to making watered down storyslop like Fallout and Planescape.

Why do you zoomer keep Larping, its not worth it man, just play what you enjoy and stop looking for validation from random strangers on the internet, if you continue down this path you will die as a miserable loser, please wake up before its too late man.
Stop larping, you are not really gaining anything from this shit, go improve yourself instead.

I'm not larping. The reality is just that I used to play more modern/indie stuff, then around high school I began emulating more and I just vastly prefer a lot of older titles for having actually deep systems that don't hold your hand.

If an actual modern game with that exact nature came our today, I would play it. But it hasn't.

Look I agree but you know what kind of grinds my gears a bit, Japan is too obsessed with the formula I to V uses as opposed to stuff VI and VII attempted. I wish we would see more games like them.

Boomers are acting like we cannot fathom these games because they are older than us and immediately thinking we are pretending to like them.

A lot of zoomers are going back to old games nowadays cuz modern stuff is just slop and instead of some of us only replaying child hood classics we go back to what we missed out in

Boomers played these games and can mostly remember their flaws.That is why they prefer the bradley games.
Zoomies on the other hand jump on any old thing and act like they are better then redditors because they played some old game for five minutes.

Faggot, in my thread it LITERALLY names the games Bradley was most involved in, I also prefer them and literally praise them in this thread more so than the OG formula. I just used the cover of the first game as it is the iconic Wizardry symbol.

I think that is taking it a bit far as there is not that much actual roleplaying in these games in the more traditional sense of the word, but from an actual RPG mechanic standpoint and of course dungeon design too yes I really love these games. Only fully finished I and VI however, dabbled a bit with the rest.

Despite not having beat it, IV is the most fascinating one to me and probably one of the coolest concepts in all of gaming.

I felt like the storytelling was through the gameplay itself. Going through the dungeon and having to face obstacles, monsters, traps, ect.

Storytelling I agree, more so actual roleplaying in the sense of having an impact on the world if that makes sense.
But Wizardry, especially VI, has some amazing environmental storytelling.
