All games are all genres in differant amounts.>>> Nope, not at all. Now, it becomes popular to mix genres, but majority is still more or less pure.
An RPG, is a game in wich you play a charicter, who interacts with objects, and the way in wich these interactions unfold, mold both your charicter, and the objects around it, wich progresses the game.
An object is anything at all in the game that is not eather you, or non interactive things like scenery. Monsters and people are objects, so are items and chests and keys and potions and everything. >>>>>
What are you saying here ? Have you read this yourself? Looking at what you have written, any adventure game or shooter can be rated as RPG, as there is character, who interacts with objects, and there are objects that interact other objects and character. This definition is just poor manipulating of words without essence, goal and meaning.
D1 and DD atleast has quests wich you acualy pay attention to. I hope that noone has spent houres straining over the golden bird quest from d2.. Intelectual and ethical dilemmas? Hah! These are just more quests. I doubt a game is going to suddenly make me 'think' any more than i already do about such things. I judge a quest by its story alone. Hence, if a quest has a good story, its a good quest. If a quest has a bad story or no story at all.. in order to 'enjoy' doing them(PLEASE NOTE THE ENJOY PART), you must be a little.. slow.. or somehting >>>>>>>>>>>>
How can you pay attention to a quest if it has nothing to pay attention to ? Story alone? tell me the difference in stories in D2 or in DD. Which one is deeper? You will never tell, because these stories are different, just different. DD story is deeper? I doubt that. And about quests. You say that there are just more quests in DD. So, in your opinion, if we put x2 or x3 more quests in D1 or D2 it will be Divinity ? Second failure my friend.
1 You have to realise that diablo is short, and dd is longer. 2 Diablo is a short game that you can replay with your same charicter. 3 DD is a longer game wich you cant. 4 Becaus of this, if you play both games an equal amount of time, it will seem like diablo is insanley charicter based, becaus you are basicly just doing the same thing over and over to build up your charicter. However what you fail to realise is. After beating the game the first time.. Thats it! You beat it! 5 Theres really no reason to keep trying to build your charicter unless you enjoy doing so.>>>>>>>>>>>>.
1. how is diablo shorter than divinity ? D2 is longer I think. 2. It is not short, but yes you can replay it again, I did it around 7 times (I am talking about D2) 3. DD is not longer, and you still have replay value to try other two classes. 4. Diablo is character based and I have written this to you several times before. You are doing the same thing only solving the same quests thats all, but you choose other classes, tactics, weapons, spells, equipment - you are playing another game with another character. I think, you never played Diablo second time so you have no idea on this. 5. Exactly, it is great to create another mighty char., not fighter, or bowman, but necromancer for example <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
So compare diablo, beating it ONE TIME, with the same amount of time playing DD, basicly a day or so. And they will look the same. Now if you play diablo alongside DD, beating it over and over while in dd the charicters always doing something new.. Then yeah, diablo will seem charicter based. But thats just becaus its shorter.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Day or so? You are cheater or you have never played both games!
Take DD, remove the entire world outside the little wooden fence in aleroth, then allow for a charicter save/load feature, and add 3 difficulty levels so you dont have to kill the low level things forever. And i bet you that it will start to feel charicter based pretty quickly if you keep replaying it..>>>>>>>>
You never experienced Diablo, it is deeper than you think. If you went through it in a rush once than you haven't played it. I doubt you even played once though.
As i said, DD is longer.. thats really about it. It 'seems' more quest based becaus it has more quests to do, and not the same old quests over and over that you would get if you CHOSE to continue playing diablo after you beat it.>>>>>>>>>>
Wow, the quests change? really? You find -new- quests only if you missed them in you previous game. So you Loosed the opportunity to enjoy them in your previous game.
Thats it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
