RPGs??

what's with everyone and RPGs?`...go to a shop, buy a
sword, wait 4312 rounds before you can kill a giant
monster...wahts so cool about it? (i'm not dissing, i
actually really want to know)

I mean, I like driving around in GTA just for the sake of
seeing things explode....

i'm with ya.. i no longer have the attention span for RPG's.
Plus killing the elvis clones in GTA2 is immensely
theraputic.
..played Chrono Trigger back in the day though. heh

it depends on what you look for in videogames I guess. For
more entertaining things, more stimulus response is needed
at a quicker pace, that's what I like. In every game they
should allow a mode that allows the player to easily design
their own ideas freely using the pre made chunks the
programmers already made. Like the ability to mess around
with the zelda 64 engine would be more entertaining than
playing the game to me... like being able to create and
paint your own 3 dimensional buildings, redrawing the
characters but keeping the same polygons... making a big
grass field and modifying the amount of monsters to keep
everything matching your increasing skill level etc.

Allowing you to create your own giant enemy bosses and
somehow be able to give them a rule of behavior, that would
be so awesome, you could build three towers with a different
guard in each... and you must destroy them all in order to
win or whatever.

I have always dreamed about making a RPG/action-game called
'Life'. GTA3'ish with more realism. The ability to own money
in the game, and by cars and buildings...life a life online
through the game...

*fantasizes about it
They're too focused on making a single finished product,
which CAN be good... just like some finished products in
music are good. But what I really want is the software to
allow me to make my own modifiable products. Something
intuitive that allows creation without cryptic difficult
programming. That's what I want, except for videogames... I
really loved doomCad for example.

RPGs do my head in. The last one I got into was "Koudelka"
for the PSOne. I got to the end of the game and I die
outright (not even a battle, just a cutscene) because I
didn't level up my luck enough previously... as I only have
2 saved games (both past a point of no return) I would have
to walk around the same 3 screens for hours hoping for
random encounters and just spend the experience points on
"Luck". Not my idea of fun and not something I intend to
do...

Something that had streets of rage/goldenaxe style
encounters would be a differnet matter altogether...

There is actually a game coming out on the PC (the name
eludes me at the mo so watch this space!!) within which you
enact your day to day life online.
You get up, have brekkie, go to work, have a piss, come
home, eat, go to bed and have sex.
It isn't as amusing as Sims - it is just unbelievably
dull!!!!

The thing with RPG's is the feeling you are getting
somehwere....it's like reading a good book and getting
excited about what the next chapter will hold.....the plot
twists, the epic battles nad the daring foes....etc etc
etc.
I love RPG's nad First person shooters....but FPS' are
getting a little dull now....Oh an enemy *bang* oh another
one *bang* etc etc etc!!!

PsOne...but I don't think it really qualifies...

Ceri-> have you ever played TENCHU

I thought RPGs were invented to keep the under-sexed off the
streets...and anyway, in the UK it's actually illegal to
have a girlfriend and own any D&D stuff at the same time...

no..sorry...only joking..:)..

Actually theres a great article in the latest issue of Wired
about the Broadband/MUD scene in Singapore...something like
60% of the country is on hi-speed net connections and the
big big killer app driving it all is Multi-user RPGS...the
numbers of people involved are stunning and make the US ones
seem puny in comparison...

Dunno if the article is online yet as the mags only just out
but I'll try and find a link...very interesting stuff...

Ah, when I was asking for shenmue 2 for the dc (which I
still haven't got) my gf kept on nearly buying tenchu for
the PSone. I assumed this was the same as tenchu stealth
assasins...

Not at all, in Cardiff games where I bought the "Vampire the
Masquerade" sourcebook (for my gf as it it happens) there
was a bloke in there with his gf. To say they were a bit odd
would be like saying hitler was a naughty man...

In korea most of the populance play some online rpg (I
forget the name)

RPG's are like interactive books, with bad ass gfx, sound,
and game-play. I love the creativity, and the fact that most
console rpg's last for over 80 hrs of gameplay.

rpg's.
