not a JRPG. JRPG=/= RPG from japan. I know it's confusing because that's literally what the acronym stands for, but that's not what it is. RPG from japan isn't a meaningful description of a genre, JRPG decsribes a specific type of game.
@Deadpooled.
You are the problem. If you hate them, stop buying their crap until they fix it. If you still buy their stuff, they don't care if you like them.
They really, really don't. They're easily the worst videogame company (in the US at least) but worst company? No. That "honor" should go to companies like Exon that are literally destroying the planet and blocking viable alternative energy sources or insurance companies who's entire reason for exsistance is to screw as many people out of health care they desperately need so they can make a quick buck.

***k the "interpretation." We've already had that fight. It didn't work when people tried to blame GTA for murders, it didn't work when people tried to blame Dark Souls for murders, and numerous studies prove those points handily. It will be no different with anything else people try to blame on videogames.
If you stop it because you're afraid they'll stop it, you've already lost. There is nothing to lose, at *w...
I don't think they really can. It's clunky on purpose. If you have to stop to shoot, turn like a tank and the aim is slightly wonky it makes the slow moving zombies threatening and slow build tension actually possible. That doesn't work on modern controls without mechanics being built to support it, which would require way more work then they're gonna put in and it wouldn't really be RE4.

If some "creep" is going to be inspired to actually rape someone based on this, they're mentally ill and/or deficient and literally anything could have inspired such a thing. I could spend 3 seconds on any decent porn site and come up with thousands of rape videos and pictures right now, some of them deliberatly made to be as realistic as possible (in between the legally required notifications that everyone is of age/consenting and all where all their ...
If people understand the difference between fantasy and reality then it doesn't matter.
I like rape fantasies. (Where I'm the victim.) I'm not encouraging someone actually raping me, even if I decided to film it and put in on the internet or something. That would be beyond horrifying. i like the *fantasy* where I get to feel like I have no control even though I signed up for it and could stop it at a moments notice. The same reason people like horror games, but ...
No, no I'm not. That's not how genres work. If I was assigning a narrative genre to chess then maybe you'd have an arguement, but *narrative* does not mean *book.* The story of a game has a genre/s just like the gameplay of the game has a genre/s and the music of the game has genre/s. One does not invalidate the other.
That's a problem of people misusing the term, not a problem of the genre itself. If people only refered to games that are actually RPGs (IE w...

Crap PC port was (and remains) crap, but it doesn't actually look like that if you don't want it to. Even the original game run via emulator has HD texture packs that look better than the PC port. The still look worse than the actual remaster, but that's what happens when somebody puts some real effort in, as the link (which fyi is for the ste...
You have no choice but to respond in character because you can't respond out of character. Everything you can do is more or less limited to things that Geralt would do. That's not roleplaying anymore than reading a typical book is roleplaying.
That is GAMEplay, it is merely a kind of gameplay that asks the player to put in work to get the desired effect. It's gameplay when it happens in D&D, and it's still gameplay when it happens in Fallout.
...
Uh, no. You can "roleplay" all you want in any game, but most games offer *precisely* no support for the concept. Geralt is Geralt, you get no say. Nothing about the world changes in response to your decisions in Burnout, it all resets more or less as soon as the race ends, if not sooner.
That is not how it works in RPGs. The game actually pays attention to what you did and offers as many reasons for making any given decision as possible so your actions and reaso...
It's not a select few people. Have you seen how the UWP exclusive games do on PC? They do really, really poorly. See, nobody puts in the work to use and maintain a PC and then doesn't want the ability to control how things run on their system. It's just not a thing. Rise of the Tomb Raider, for example, sold 950k copies on Steam. Do you think that's a small section of the playerbase? No, that's basically all the PC sales. Quantum Break is coming to Steam too. Why? Because ...
You have fun with you're "$60" games and $50 season passes that don't actually include the whole game so you have to pay $150+ to actually get the whole experience. People like you ruin it for the rest of us. You know, normal people with normal jobs who can't justify dropping 150 bucks on a game and so can't get the whole experience.
Unless that commitment includes the death of UWPs instead of proper .EXEs, MS can take their commitment and shove it. I'm not interested in playing "anywhere" if it means playing an inferior product in the locked down MS ecosystem that shares precisely nothing with why I play games on PC in the first place.
in fact I can. The fundamental gameplay of an RPG is not in combat mechanics or something, it' in your ability to roleplay,. (you know, the R in RPG?) To create the type of character you want to play and then be allowed to act as that character in a variety of situations. Most of them involve combat, but they don't *have* to. Much like D&D, more or less the promordial RPG that evolved from wargames for the explicit purpose of allowing that kind of gameplay.
That...
Nope. PC provides the same experience or better for free. Paying for online in the first place isn't justified, no matter what extra crap they put in it.
@bg116
I have a PC, and it's significantly more powerful than project Scorpio claims to be and actually does native 4k. The games actually look better at 1080p or 1440p with higher detail (and framerate) than the lower settings it takes to manage 4k/30+ on newer titles, but I *can* do it.
I don't have and I'm not buying either console for a good long while unless I fall into a spare 500 bucks and have already upgraded said PC to all current ge...
Most things that get called RPGs (ar action RPGs or whatever) aren't RPGs. People see numbers or a conversation wheel and think RPG when it's nothing of the sort.
You miss the patently obvious fact that dev teams can make all the estimates in the world on the time a project will take, but there are like 10 billion things that can go wrong at every stage of development, and many of them will go wrong in ways that couldn't possibly have been predicted. Releasing it anyways or cutting the content instead of taking the time to get it right does not benefit you.
It only shakes the confidence of rational people when games show signs of...
Don't pre-order crap. The supply won't be limited, there is 0 reason to pre-order unless you're willing to risk 400 bucks on a product you can't be certain you'll use or enjoy.
