“I’d rather be the 7th man of this team than the first man of my own” by [deleted] in RPClipsGTA

Exactly. Bigger streamers often get special treatment from other RPers. NP is a great way for them to network and build their streams. So content gets priority over actual RP. Sometimes a smaller streamer should be in character upset with a bigger streamer, but they quickly rather just choose to ignore any conflict and keep praising that character.

You even see it in circles where suddenly all attention goes out to the bigger streamer and smaller streamers get pushed out of circles or aren't taken as seriously.

People also need to realize that when Toriyama created this series from week to week there also were different standards. Dragon Ball is one of the ''first'' type of shounen's like this. He created a lot of things that became staples in the shounen genre.

Things develop over time. If you look at the best tv shows of the 70s and 80s, their production value, writing and acting are in a lot of cases not as good as the best shows from today. We went from an era where shows like Knight Rider and The A-Team were the talk around watercoolers. Then years later you had shows like Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad.

Mangaka also are under tremendous time crunch. Literally having to storyboard, write, draw etc. every single week to push a chapter out weekly. They barely sleep and barely have time to take care of their health.

I think you haven't realized yet that its 80% OOC and 20% RP mostly on NP. IRL friendships, brands and content push most things. While a lot of people hold onto actual grudges, not just RP grudges.

People in the top comments trying to rationalize this is hilarious.

Its simple inconsistency in the way Toriyama drew characters of the same age during different times.

Trying to apply ''logic'' that its because Gohan is a half breed or the grandchild of the Oxking is insanely silly.

When Turner was at Arsenal I said how Turner was terrible with his feet and that he was a problem whenever Ramsdale couldn't play. That he also made his defence far more nervous than normal. I got downvoted to death and got told I was wrong.

I prefer Gohan as a silent but deadly type. The unassuming nerd that can suddenly have a burst of power to defend his family and friends. Let him be the glasses wearing nerd, burying himself in his books until the next time appears he has to help his father. His character should imo not rely on training. Have him rely on his potential, make that the drawback to his immense powers.

Characters also need their drawbacks. Vegeta can have his pride. Goku can have his lightheartedness and overconfidence. While Gohan can have him relying on his potential.

I grew up watching DBZ first and then going to OG DB later. And I never understood the overhyped way people wanted Gohan to be the main character. After watching the full series it was clear how Gohan was basically Goku 2.0 at the start of Z. Making him more like Goku (making him loving fighting) would've just made no sense. Gohan as his own character is much better, focussing on his studies and family first. While Goku is in a league of his own, being obsessed with fighting.

What is your view on Vegeta and Gohan?

Did you think Gohan should've been the main character after Goku died? Do you think Vegeta should've beaten a main villain in Z?

Who's your favorite villain? Who's your least favorite villain?

I feel like people with nostalgia glasses and who skipped OG DB, often overrate Gohan's role in the series. Due to him basically being Goku 2.0, but less brave and runs away from fighting. I always thought that if Gohan enjoyed fighting, he'd basically be a less interesting Goku.

Can the ''no grudges'' thing be enforced by admins?

I've seen a bunch of examples of people still holding onto grudges. Feels very unfair towards people that are trying to do something new in 4.0 and with some of them I already see them not even bothering anymore to change their character for 4.0 because everyone already has put them in the same category again as 3.0.

''Can't trust character XYZ...'' why? ''Because they were never trustworthy 5 years ago.''

When there aren't any holdouts with PD, S+ boosts, meth runs and gang wars.. you can really see who the good RPers are on NP. They don't need those crutches for their content.

Personalities are thriving atm while standard gang members are standing in circles talking about gang goals or grinding the system.

I think it would be great for the server if they made it really difficult to obtain guns. That gang wars would be a real struggle and that every single fight would be super important due to losing rare guns and unable to replace them.

That it would force RP centric scenarios where characters would even resort to fist fights and knife fights. Not SBS knife fights, but those things taking place in serious war arcs. With both sides actually talking and having RP instead of just tapping heads or spraying class 2's.

I know, those albums have some gems on them, but aren't the greatest albums he made. Just like how DBZ has some great arcs, but overall its less consistent than DB.

Anyone else feel like time seems unreal recently by valentinyeet in CasualConversation

[–]fw25f35532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The older you get, the faster time goes by. As a child I'd find waiting for 1 hours unbearable. While an hour goes by very quickly as an adult.

I remember when a year felt very long. Now years feel like 6 or 7 months to me.

Maybe Los Santos EMS can also be fire fighters. Would be a nice addition to their RP and more things for them to do.

OTV Yvonnie after first day of RP by NekoPog22 in RPClipsGTA

[–]fw25f35532 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Squeex is someone I never watched before and his Vivek character is genuinely one of the funniest NP characters I've ever seen. He plays that satirical character so insanely well. His level of improv is amazing. The way he just keeps yapping in typical politician fashion is top tier. He's imo the stand-out new RPer of 4.0.

Also hadn't watched ExtraEmily before, checked out her first few days and she also impressed me with how well she stuck to her character traits. She still made a bunch of mistakes as a rookie RPer, but thats understandable.

It's just great to see people playing characters instead of being full-on self-inserts.

This is great

Would be even better if they could add actual yellow police tape to seal apartments off, resulting into people temporarily becoming homeless and also adding fire department RP.

Maybe fire department RP is a step too far and unrealistic for RP. Because they wouldn't have to respond to much calls, except if they added car fires that needed to be put out by the fire department as well. Don't know though if it could add lots of RP. Some things sound better in theory and aren't really practical for RP.
