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!!!

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.
