Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat Jappanese stlye RPG or the like games

I have a big interest in the Jappanese stlye of fighting(samuri and the like)! I would like to find a good RPG type game set in the jappanese time period of the samuri just before the gun was invented/ brought to japan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Anyone know of any games like this or kinda like this? BTW, they also have to be for the PC, thats all I have <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> , not that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> isent(sp) a good game it has only a little replayability(sp) because you can have a lot of the skills and have done all the quests in your first time around. I have completed it once and am on one of my other guys so It is kinda borning especialy(sp) in the begining! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />

I cant think of many RPG's. Throne of Darkness is a diablo style action RPG set in a fictional Japan that assumes all oriental myth and legend is true. There is also Shogun: Total War, but thats an RTS not an RPG.

yeah those are both good games!(I have both) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> Anyone know of any kinda of games like this or is this topic just not very interesting to the masses?

Strangely I cant think of any others which is wierd because its an area of such rich potential. I wouldnt say people arent interested. They are probably like us and struggling to think of anything that fits your requirments.

Maybe you should try Diakatana (or something like that). Although i cant say if there are no guns in it. I think its in the future but you have to retreive a legendary sword.

throne of darkness sucked monkey balls

joliekiller: How dare you reccomend Diakatana. You sadist. Its like reccomending someone gargle with faeces to help bad breath.

Hey i never played the game myself. Just saw it once.

I thought so... from the way you wrote about it.
We know you're only trying to help.

Just Mandrake putting his opinion across with typical australian sublety. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
No harm meant I'm sure. I have never seen Diakatanna though, it may be as bad as he says. As for the faeces part..... that's where I've been going wrong! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Godammit! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

checjed out Diakanta, does not look very good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> looks like a first person shooter!) Anyone know of any other games?(yes I know I keep asking the question but I got to try right?)

Womble: Lol

Kel_Dar: It is an FPS, and a horrible one at that. To give you an idea you have to download a 100 meg patch to even make it playable. I use the word playable in the loosest possible way.

got a new demo, Prince of Qin, its based in china(well its close to japan), but its not that great and the controls are a little hard to get used to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I just wanted to mention that Game but now that you already found it yourself ... . It is a nice game witch the possibility to make your own weapons <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> (Wouldn't that be a good feature for an -maybe-Divinity-2 ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) .

The developers are the same who made "Three kingdoms , fate of the dragon " an excellent RTS in AOE style . But anyway I really can recommend PoQ it can count on a good stoory , graphics , music , a lot of gameplay and very original features .

Prince of Qin like I said is a little hard to get used to but it looks good! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I also have Fate of the Dragon, yes it's very good and its neat your guys can mount + dismount horses!! I was looking at some games and I came arcoss the game Rome: Total War on the total war offical website! It looks awsome, but I could not find it on amazon.com! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> From reading it it seamed that it was out, if anyone is interested heres the link,

BTW, medivial total war also looks good!
