Is Meta-humor in games funny?

Is Meta-humor in games funny?

How is that humor?

no, fuck everything that breaks the 4th wall

RS is probably the most solid game/MMO with humor in general.

Recipe for Disaster is still the best quest in any MMO to date.

This isn't meta humor.

Runescape has meta humor, this isn't it.

Mostly no. It is either; over used or just badly implemented, often both.

It's close between a few. But RFD is kind of an exception given it's basically a hub quest for a bunch of sub-quests. But yeah the whole theme coming together and that fucking cullimancer fight.

While Guthix Sleeps is really good though because it actually lives up to the grand-master title and it's what I picture when I think of a quest.

Or there's Underground Pass. Or a dozen others because Jagex were an anomaly of quality then.

this

Why don't you guys just say you don't get the reference?

No.

No humor, no meta humor, no memes, no references, no nothing.

Max himself is meta humor incarnate especially in this quest you idiot.

Why do you expect Sup Forums to play RS3?

Rarely

Runescape's quests were surprisingly great

>Animal magnetism, you're helping someone fix up their room


>Hey this is a nice room, you think once it's finished I could stay here for a bit
>What do you mean? You're an adventurer, you don't need sleep. Or most other bodily functions for that matter

>posting new runeacape
Don't do this, it hurts to see how shit it became

Honestly RS3 has a lot of cool things. And the quests have increasing production value as well as them putting a much bigger focus on lore. Which I guess could be an argument because they haven't handled a lot of things the best.

But there's just so much tacked on shit and generic daily grinds that have added up that it's hard to enjoy the rest. As well as the obvious fragmented combat and all that. It's a shame we couldn't have gotten invention years ago.

I like 4th wall breaking

I always liked the dorgeshunn quest line

I did too, it's a shame it was ded content.
I always wanted to see the city be filled with people.

I finally have an excuse to post this

Its because adell was already the demons

Whoops, forgot the last columns

elemental workshop was the worst long-running quest series

seriously fuck that 3d sliding puzzle, i gave up after 1 hour and just used a walkthrough

dooooood
spoilers

I have no idea what runsecape is. It wasn't popular where i lived, Ragnarok was more our shit. What was so great about it?

I agree. The first Elemental Workshop was fine, but each got progressively worse with more annoying, contextless puzzles

It was a very atypical MMO, with unique PvP, gameworld, storytelling, and community

Atypical and unique in whichs ways?

In the bad end he kills Rozalin and you're treated to the guttural sounds of Adell violently devouring his brother and sister.

>no character classes
>heavy emphasis on noncombat skills
>lose almost all items on death
>PvP takes place in a large free-for-all called the Wilderness
>highly interact-able game world
>quests blend RPG and adventure game-style gameplay

so much for happy anime game

OSRS is pretty close to the old memory. Fuck RS3.

I don't get it. Squatting Slav reference?

my guess would be dark souls

Community sucks. Literally join any high tier group PvM, raids, merching, official vg chat or warband fc and you'll feel the cancer sipping into your brain.

I meant more the way the community interacted, but yeah, modern community RS is awful

>that
>a squat

kurwa

Vibrant economy due to heavy overlap between many skills - for example combat outright required cooking/fishing products, magic depended almost entirely completely on the runecrafting industry, herblore depended on farming and was itself a critical producer of combat potions. You could not buy your supplies from NPCs for the most part.

Quests that had teams put in sometimes months of effort to create, leading to significantly higher quality than your standard collect 10 bear asses MMO 'quests'. You had stuff like the stealth sections of Monkey Madness which might as well have been an MGS level, puzzles like in Elemental Workshop, surviving in a hostile environment in the Elf questline among others alongside all the usual combat and boss fights. Not only were the quests stories in and of themselves, they also usually had enormous benefits, such as unlocking new shortcuts, unique gear and resources, portals to quickly move around the overworld, whole new areas to explore, skill in and gather resources, minigames and other new activities and loads of valuable exp.

Quests also had varying skill requirements and were themselves incentives to level skills because they had such desirable rewards.

Huge variety of minigames, with a good balance of combat and noncombat games gave players fun ways to skill and/or make money.

wouldn't asking how it's funny be admission through inference? they don't understand why it is funny, thus you can infer that they do not know the reference. why do you have to be such a snarky dick? could you not just explain it, rather than "muh runescape inside jokes"?

Played it when i was 10, it was awesome

"selling coal"

>player driven economy
my dick is hard right now. anything like that still out there somewhere? that's not excel with graphics?

I remember coming home from school and spending hours mining rune essence to sell in varrock bank. I'd sit there and type the lyrics to Working on the Railroad and when others typed lol I felt like a comedy genius. Good times.

Love Story is the best meta-quest. The ending where you ask for Mabel's ring back is one of my favorite Runescape moments.

RS is still like that. If you have never played it give it a try. theres both RS3 and OSRS. Both offer their own stuff and its free and membership can be bought with ingame gold.

someone post the orc talking about some guy coming in with the name of big guy u u u u

The cutscene of Travis and Jeanne before their fight in No More Heroes is pretty good.

Both RS3 and OSRS are basically trainwrecks now though, albeit for entirely different reasons. RS3's combat is completely fucked, everything is p2w, and there's nothing that's actually worth playing in groups until you're maxed, which is months of grinding and hundreds of millions of gold from the point you start playing. OSRS has absolutely terrible run energy unless you spend a ton of time grinding Agility and pay money drinking a bunch of potions as you run from places, new quests very seldomly (the game's been out for years but there's only been one new quest), and the community/game is very focused on grinding since the game started out because autists were whining about RS3 "devaluing their achievements" by making shitty skills take less time.

>membership can be bought with ingame gold

What the fuck, I always wanted to play this game but never did because I thought it was pay-to-play, how could I not search better?

This literally changes everything

...

It's a recent thing

market rate was 10m gold to buy i think 20 days of members last i checked

good luck with that

Don't expect to get enough ingame gold to get it right away, you will actually have to grind to get it so be prepared for that.

You say that like I can't make a couple mil in a day, scrublord, I can craft a mean fucken Snelm

You don't have to use the new combat is RS3 anymore if you don't want too. I recommend checking it out, its going through a lot of changes lately I think for the better and the 2017 survey they did only looks even more promising.

That shit was absolutely fucking brutal.

I know about Legacy mode. Legacy mode didn't fix the main problem with EoC, which is Tierscape. I liked the old style's way of actually statting things instead of having everything just boil down to level reqs. Also, the way the three combat styles are effectively interchangeable is pretty boring. Yeah, at least Magic and Range are more widely available now, but they're now the same thing as Melee so what's the point?

I check into RS3 every couple of months to do the latest quests, but then I find myself with nothing to do other than grind out QBD for more cash and dailies again so I get bored and quit. I do get periodic progress with this though; last time I managed to get Turmoil and finish most elite diaries. Still only have GWD armor, Chaotic weaponry, and Grand potions though, which isn't enough to do anything that's actually interesting.

The Dorgeshuun quest line is the best.
Also Zanik is best npc.

Oh how bad can it be.

>look up a vid

Holy fucking shit.

>not killing Zanik

don't worry, the brilliant writers at Jagex retconned it :^)
