What does it mean for a game to be an RPG?

author=ShortStar
Technically you need to play a character in an RPG. However people think it involves stats and leveling up.

I feel like this discussion happens once a week and never has anything new added to it. This post is pretty much the epitome of how I feel about what the conversation turns into after talking endlessly in loops about definitions of words: "I have opinions"

How does this topic help us design better games? :(

author=Cray
Besides, there's really really not many elements that are in ALL rpg's. So far there has not been a single one mentioned that hasn't been rejected by another example.

^ Quite correct. Endless conversation loops

Arcan: Square square square square ...

... but I like that you made it seem more like an urban fortress-city with canals than LOL A GIANT CASTLE. Makes me think of Venezia in Tales of Phantasia, a little bit

Forever's End

oops simulpost

the whole battle system argument being hard to remember or understand is pretty ridiculous though, unless you're going out of your way to not pay attention.

this is what F-G's post should have been, thank you for being articulate and composed. I enjoy the actual feedback comments

Ooooh, I really like yours, Blindmind... at a glance, it has a very "ruins" feel to it, because of the grass overgrowing the courtyard cobblestones and light/dark grass dappling :3

Forever's End

Ghost, that would be a pretty valid, postable Review. Unless you're of the school of thought that you need to play a game to the end, but "I can't get much further into this game" with that much explication is considerable.

I also like how you called Craze out and then agreed that it was pretty terrible. But I understand your point and agree with it - you can give negative feedback without talking down.

F-G, perhaps puking up frothing vitriolic sarcastic spittle on someone else's game page is not the best way to handle what you view as stupidity. Allow me to demonstrate how a human being can be an asshole but behave still better than you

I felt it was cumbersome having to wade through all the menus.


I didn't really have a problem with it. I can't possibly imagine how the menu interface could be more concise, so maybe it's just you

Tina Fey?
i will treasure this forever

I was going to comment that you looked like Tina Fey's lesbian sister but I thought maybe that was too mean. Should have gone with just Tina Fey

NB, is your avatar Melanie Laurent?

Maybe you can do it when England wins the World Cup.

so ... never :x

in England do you make a fascinator that gets progressively more insane as playoffs continue, sort of like a Canuck playoff beard? because that sounds like a good reason to move
