never played it is it good?

oh slight mistake there lol...it's a strategy game.....sorry..if still interested just ask..

I really love that game, it's a damn scary game. You're alone, hiding in the middle of a forest while a tank is somewhere around that forest. Then I just want to stay in the forest and never come out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yes mate! thats the best bit its quality. or your sprinting across an open feild and theres a hind circling you..............excellent.

yeah whats it about.

OP flashpoint a roleplaying game??I hope your kidding.If your not then why not call tombraider an rpg since your playing the role of lara croft??Op flashpoint is a fps tactical strategy game not an rpg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />sigh<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />:

Well, that depends. In the series "RPG Round Table" (was it at IGN ? Don't remember) an developer of a company actually had the popinion that *basically* everything where you play the role of someone actually *is* an "role playing game" - even an First Person Shooter !

However, I am thinking that A) he is *basically* right, but b) an First Person Shooter *doesn*t fit into the genre of RPGs, simply becvause it doesn't have any of the "features" an RPG has - like experience points, rule-set, hero upgrading and so on.

Btw, I do my best to never use anything like that when writing here in forums or discussing things in RL. Self defence is another thing.



Is there anything in my post that doesn't fit PG? If this need an explanation, ok, here we go. I used this sentence as an expression for peace proposal. How did you understand that starting to mention PG?

I do not tolerate cynism full of disrespect and aversion to anothers ideas.

Er, technically, you initiated the "attack" on me first -- I was the one doing self-defense here, y'know. Prior to that, I was arguing with LBane, not you.

*laughs* Sorry; I thought it was fairly obvious. I was just poking fun at your saying "let's make love." See? Double-entendre is fun!



Annnnd we're back to square one.

I'm not aware of any cynism in my post, since I don't even know what "cynism" is. Cynicism would be another story, though. Which I still don't think showed up anywhere in my post. Perhaps you meant "sarcasm", Alrik?

well then here goes the link to RoTK :

http://www.kongming.net/games/

it has alot of information about RoTK, All the games attached to the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms...it's really interesting....especially for the Dynasty Warriors and Kessen fans.....

Sorry, my fault - cynicism. This is what I meant. I do think Alrik meant the same.

This really takes us nowhere. If you mean me writing about educational lvl. That was not attack against you. That was an example of it. Visual example of a person goin personal towards his/her opponent. I have written, do not take it personal.

Dues X was a fps/rpg so they do exsist.If someone wants to think that every game is an rpg because you play as someone else so be it.But i dont agree with that at all.First off to be actually role playing you have to have charecter development which fps games do not have.

2nd.. fps games there are usally no alternate routes to take. its all pretty much straight forward gunnem down type gameplay.rpg games give you many different decisions to make which fps games do not.

Ya in a sense alrik your right, but you have to think about what the deffinition of roleplaying games are when it comes to video games.Im sorry but im not willing to call every game ever made an rpg because there not

What can you tell me about "Return to Krondor" ? I bought it yesterday for 2 Euro.

The only thing I can say, is that the price is good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I know that on the inside cover of Morrowind it says "so what do you do in this game?" and then says "what ever you want to do". what are you supposed to do? coz i'm just wandering around pointlessly never getting anywhere.

i see your point on character developement but the point on there being many different paths to follow is incorrect. All rpgs have one goal which you character or characters must achive in a specific way or the gamewill not be complete. So there is not many different paths to choose if you actually want to complete the game there is consequently only one.

there has been several rpg's with several different endings....if i recall it right....can't recall any titles though....but the game had 16 different endings...so it claimed....i never had the chance to play it because i couldn't afford to buy the game....

Deus Ex 2 has 8 or so endings.

Wrong,in a real role playing game you can have as many as 100 or more sidequests that you can complete, and you wouldnt need to complete them to beat the game.Also do you want to play the game as good or eviL??Many rpg,s you will get totally different npc reactions just for a different alignment.Ofcourse its only obvious you have to complete certain objectives, to beat a rpg like, beat boss a to get to boss b but its what you do in between boss a and boss b that determines your path.Following a path has nothing to do with completing your objectives for the game.







All rpgs have one goal which you character or characters must achive in a specific way or the gamewill not be complete.

Not true again how is having sidequests in a game make the game specific??You have the option to do alot of sidequests or not so no its not specific so thats wrong to.

Read above,i really dont believe im having this conversation.Ive never known anyone that claims all games are rpg,s thats ridiculous
