What exactly is an RPG?!

You know how there are things in this world that you just know, even though you can't explain them? Things like love, the wind, ...RPG's. Yes, RPG's. Every hardcore gamer knows an RPG literally seconds after they start playing the game...

Yeah that does make since other games you do play rolls however most games outside the genre they dont fully imerse you in the roll being part of a characters story isnt enough alone,building stats isnt enough alone,turn based isnt enough alone,but it's the combination of two or more of these elements that make things rpgs.

I remember the times when RPG stood for Role-Playing Games.

There were 2 definitions.

1. You created your own character, thus essentially creating a second life for yourself.

2. You play the role of a known character.

Now it tends to be a term where you're thrown in the game and you wonder: WTF is going on?

LukaX235335d ago

An RPG is a genre of game. What the definition of that genre is, I.D.G.A.F. - as long as the game is good.

a game that lets you Role Play and it should be Super Epic and take away a few months of your social life!

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5822d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905822d ago (Edited 5822d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5822d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5822d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495822d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5822d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5822d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
