If you read what i wrote properly, you will see i didn't mean RPG's are a dying breed, but rather the super hardcore PC centric RPG games these guys have been happily playing for decades.
Fallout, elderscrolls etc... all those games are the type of RPG's these guys don't like. They arn't hardcore enough for them, but like you said (validating my comments) they are the future.
RPG's are going strong, but they are evolving. And that&...
Yeah, i played both games on console. My issue wasn't that DA wasn't hardcore enough, it was that it was a poor, old gen game.
Your team members are getting battered by the enemy and they can't heal themselves! WTF? You have to keep flipping between squard members to heal them - why?
Why can't i cut across a field? why am i stuck in liner roadways? Its something i played on my PS2!
I don't consider myself a 'Harcore' g...
Wow. I thought it was a turd M$ picked up that nintendo and Sony dropped.
Poor graphics, long load times, linar gameplay, repetitive actions... you know, dragon age origins all over again.
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was a true next gen RPG though - First or 3rd person perspective. Open world gameplay and graphics, larger in scale and scope. And that game came out in 2006...
Where's blu-ray when you need it?
Oh yeah, its on the PS3.
I need a new next gen fix. My 360 is old and crap. PS3 is doing better, but still.... need more POWER!!!!!!!!!
I'm ready to drop another £300 on next gen hardware.
My 360 is OLD. Games no longer impress me, i need a new graphical high.
There are thousands of kids doing the exact same thing. LIVE is full of em. So what? Its their life to waste isn't it?
offset analogue sticks! YAY!
Finally, i can use my PS3 in total confort.
Problems with a capitalist society i guess...
M$ don't even let you share your profile across 2 360's!
I have two xbox 360's in my house, one downstairs, one up, but i can't transfer content between them without uploading and re-downloading my profile and content.
Imagine buying a DVD or CD and only being able to play it on one device!
Ridiculous. M$ should allows gamers to connect more than one console they own to the same gamertag network, especially if its in the same home.
Kinect - it only don't NOTHING!
How many more features are M$ going to remove/gimp before launch?
Does it matter who is pulling the trigger?
Every man, nation, culture has his own idea of who its right to kill.
But at the end of the day, we all know deep down that its wrong. Religions preach it - few of their followers follow it.
I find it more morally reprehensible to actually support a real war, than to play a game shooting virtual 'bad' guys.
... but that doesn't mean the 720 won't come out before that.
The PS1 had a 10 year life span, but the PS2 came out 5-6 after it launched.
The PS2 is still alive, yet the PS3 came out 6 years after the PS2.
My point is, even though M$ and Sony are saying that the 360 and PS3 will have 10 year life spans, it doesn't mean we won't be getting next gen consoles until they are a decade old. Rather it only means that these consoles will be SUPPOR...
The 360 is old and dated, PS3 is going to suppass it, Kinect will fail - once it has, expect M$ to unvail the new xbox at E3 2012.
LOL Only joking.
I call BS on this. And i will NOT be buying this trash.
Its like knowing your going to hell, and you only have a few months lef tto live.
M$ really need to start thinking about a next gen console. The 360 is really starting to show its age now. That year's head start really made a difference - and not in a good way.
Xbox LIVE is raising these kids, not their parents.
