Why do people keep making 'rigid' game RPs.
As in, directly based off the games mechanics when it offers NOTHING to really be exciting to RP.
E.G things like roleplays within the ROBLOX universe or RPs directly based off Five Nights at Freddy's.
I don't understand the appeal.
Can someone explain the thought process of these people? |

People make these games to get away from their own life and pretend to be something unusual. I'm not against Roleplaying, but I think it's a little childish if I do say so myself. But seeing as this is a kids game, I'm not surprised.
5 nights at Freddy's Roleplay is basically where you put yourself into the game to see what it's like. The map is actually built pretty decently. |

It's probably due to the fact that the game they've based it off is popular at the moment and of course, decide to make a RP place to that game.
I mean at least every good game that is or has been popular has had a roblox version of it. |

Indirect insult to most of the role players on this site aside, that doesn't necessarily answer the question.
Now, I don't claim to be an expert on this field, but I do believe that this phenomenon correlates to a condition that I will call "the Fanboy Syndrome". To put simply, if a person were to be emotionally attached to a series or media for any extreme length, they will likely create their own content in honor of their object of adoration. Fanfics, role plays, games, and in some cases, a more... unsavoury, type of art. |

I understand all this stuff.
I want to know the thought process that makes them think it would be fun to RP.
Like, how someone could think FNAF would make a fun RP. |

They do it because of the amount of popularity the games get. I'll use FNaF as an example...Loads of people love it, but most are too scared to play it (including me). So, finding this out, they upload a roleplay where nobody gets hurt...

Well, that's one reason, yes, but not everyone who makes these kinds of things never played the actual game before.
I suppose the better answer to this question would be that: everyone has their own reason for making these roleplays.
Perhaps one person makes them because they just don't want to buy the game. Perhaps another is in love with the game itself, but dissatisfied with one or more aspects about it. Everyone is different, and to say that a person does something for the exact same reason as everyone else, well, that's just incorrect. |

Meh.
That's probably the best answer.
I still don't understand.
Thanks.

| Of course, it's not to say that there's a legitimate excuse for making FNaF roleplays, because c'mon, why are they even a good idea to begin with? |

I like how when I was doing a scary story contest nearly everyone did a five night's at freddys fanfic/story. I complained to the teacher, telling her that nearly everyone copied such a god aweful game, ut she goes "Well inspiration comes in many forms" Like, seriously. Nearly every single one sounded simmilar. FNAF is trash. I hate it, I hate everything about it: the story, the gameplay, the fanbase, everything sucks. Hell, I remember some fnaf fanboy telling someone here to go die because theu never heard of the game. And let's be honest, this piece of crap is only popular because of yourube, Pewdipie, Marktiplier, and so forth. If I had my way, I'd shut down thos god awful game. |

@Mister
Adding on to your earlier comment, OP didn't give us a very good understanding about roleplay in different types of formats. I wasn't sure wether he was referring to games or forums, so I stuck with games. |

I just wish people would shut up about fnaf already the sooner no one cares anymore, the sooner it fades away into the abyss of the forgotten which I'm looking forward to for that game. |

| If it's posted on the forums, it'll probably be about the forums, as a general rule. |
