what a bs :P uropean rpg wtf is that crap ? there is such no thing is called action adventure rpg
but of course most usa nobs think diablo is an cRPG so what did u expect rotfl.
also whole "no easy mode no hand holding etc" is older than this guy thinks propably he never played in wizardry or might & magic whatever i never forgott freeking "wtf" quests in wizardry
also TES3 MORROWIND got totally no freeking map markers they only tell u ot find cave whatever is most reazon why many ppl find oblivion borring cuz all this insta travel shiet all this map markers whatever , so basically guy who make this review have no real idea what aboute he talking
also look on old wizard of the cost games are they easy mode? no . and bioware games are basically based on wizards work
the main reazon why rpg get more easy each year is lack of control posibilities in consoles they "need" to run on and all that easy mode shiet is expecially for usa guys they dont like to get hard fights etc . Imho if this autor thinks that "euro" rpg are hard he never played in jRPG that games are freeking hard cuzasians are freeking hardcore
