When people ask what games do you play , how do you explain cRPG?

[Kalam]

Imagine a game with a combat system sort of like the Elder Scrolls, except you get to control how your weapon moves with your mouse...

It's like DDR with melee combat mechanics...

[lombardsoup]

I don't explain it to my friends because I would be called a racist frenchman, just like in game. In order to maintain a healthy life, you do need to separate real life and gaming life.

P.S The last sentence is a load of crap, what is  "Real Life"

Your real life is Napoleon Wars

[WITCHCRAFT]

"Ranged combat is like a shooter game but with bows and crossbows instead of guns. Melee combat is like a fighting game where you need to block low to defend against the enemy's down attack. Also you can ride horses and run people over. You can play on team deathmatch servers or try to take over a map with clanmates that is like 24/7 always-on real time strategy game. Mrs. Witchcraft calls it Internet Horse Game."

Then every time I refer to it in the future I just say Internet Horse Game.

My friend calls this a shit game then goes on to play Diablo 3. I need new friends.

Better than having friends who call this a shit game and then go on to play chivalry.

Better than having friends who call this a shit game and then go on to play chivalry.

Or War of the Roses...

OP asks a really really good question though..   (And really important for M:BG)

Most of my friends are 30+   Today they told me.. have you seen the new trailer for a new wolfenstein game? Looks awesome! I'm like..

................ Trying to pretend I'm interested. Those nubs will never understand.

Other friends, gamers, I've tried to get to try MB or cRPG are just pussies who get turned off by multiplayer. For me, this is the best, most addicting game I've ever played. The intense, personal fights, the recognition of yourself and other players!! Package delivers actual physical adrenaline, real rage, both in large doses. No other game does this. (Enlighten me if I'm wrong pls. )

Anyway, as my friends are not much of gamers, IDK how to explain it. Usually wrap it in some funny story about knights and ninjas, with a fitting dose of self-irony.

[Tristan_of_Erzoth]

I usually explain it as a persistent multiplayer game with solid melee combat. Its hard but its rewarding once you get better at it. Most of my friends think I'm a loser for playing it, but they are the real losers amirite?

[DonNicko]

I told my friend that c-rpg is a medieval counter-strike, but with swords and bows. I think all my friends tried it, but they always got raped by agiwhores who were dancing around them, that they even couldn't understand how they were killed. They are nubs. And this game is very hard for nubs. I like system of the game Tanks, where you divided in 10 groups, and to move to another you need to progress first and get skills. Well I think my friends would play it if they haven't been raped in the beginning.

[Molly]

I don't bother explaining some medieval fighting "simulation" to anyone around me tbh. Wasted time considering the stupid looks I'd get in return

You rage, playing Mount and Blade: Warband? Fucking LOL! I hope you're just the minority otherwise this community is even shittier than I thought.

Mrs.Naduril calls it just "a Horsies Game". And others family members now as well

But with a little difference. My brothers and I  describe it as a Quake I Teamfortress. Once Turufin showed it to his clanmate from TF and he said it is really GOOD game. Unfrotunately his GF wasn't happy about it Otherwise another highskilled pro-gamer would appear and terrorize EU1 and EU2

[Kirman]

Whenever i'm in a gaming discussion, if i hear LoL  once i don't even mention cRPG. Also few of my friends tried the game and they love it but say it's hard to play.
