rpg psychology

I would like to ask why are we so addicted of watching numbers go up and progress bars fill up in a video game?
Does anyone have any link to an internet resource that explains this phenomenon, because I'm googling and can't find anything useful about this.

You are a sockpuppet of Penty


The reason I like RPGs isn't because of watching progress bars go up. It's because of the often pretty open-world style of play that allows you to explore the world. I loved the GTA games hugely, and they aren't RPG. I like to be able to explore in games.

Oblivion and Fallout were just great games, no matter what genre you like.

Fail.Epic FAIL.
First, I'm not a sockpuppet. Second, who the fuck is Pentry?
Third, read my post again and THAN answer.

You asked two questions. I answered the first one.

I can't answer the second one. If you can't find a resource that explains why people like RPGs, then I doubt if I'll be able to find one.

I don't think Insanity666 is actually a Penty sockpuppet.  I think it is someone trying to parody him.  I wish he was better at it though, we haven't had a good troll in a while.  This is 5 or 6 trolls in a row.

I don't see how he's anything like me?

funny thing is i KNOW it's not a troll. It's just sheer coincidence.

Why do I like RPGs ? Im going to try to sound as least ghey as I can with this, but I like the epic storyline and battles and I get all caught up in trying to save the world :/

Most RPG's are the same. Always in the same old Dungeons and Dragons type of setting. Always taking themselves too seriously. Yawn... So boring.

The only RPG's I ever cared about were Super Mario RPG, Earthbound/Mother 2, Mother 3, and Paper Mario. That's about it.

Because that is the most fun you will ever have.

I think that's a criticism many fans of the genre will agree with. I would love to see some RPGs set in the modern world, and ones where you don't have to save the world from an evil horde of demons straight from hell.

Good idea Insanity 69 could make an RPG of Furries versus Zombies.
