[Poll] Super Nintendo Vs. Sega Genesis

Sega genesis vote, but really, nintendo owns so much more better games on the console lifetime, that suits my tastes now (rpgs).
But as a child everything was shinny and new. Even Ecco the dolphin was fun for a child.

[Poll] Is Piracy Ethical?

In this regard piracy isn't a problem as much as before. if i'm curious about a particular game, simply watch a nice let's play for a while and if it's worth, wait for it to be on steam at discount (after all, i seriously doubt anyone have the time to finish every single crap they bought in steam sales). Games today are made incomplete. If you really want to play something you have to wait for all DLC and bug fixes, driver updates...etc.

Is ethical to pay full price for a incomplete piece of trash like aliens colonial marines?

Penalties for leveling up

I think this is a great problem mostly on online games where a "bug" like "a good grinding spot where you level fast/earn gold fast" would hurt the monetization of the game (diablo 3 auction house, for example).

Introduction to Linux course MOOC

Gentlemen, the linux foundation and edx (a non profit site governed by harvard and MIT) will be offering "introduction to linux course" , for free this summer.

Is a nice chance to get into linux if you are interested. It's 40-60 hour long and you may take tests and stuff if you want a certificate.

What makes you want to play one game over another?

I don't want to repeat what has already been said so i'll just add another fact that plays a role when i decide to download a game.

File size

Please make it has light in size as you can.

Dimensions of 2 or 3?

I believe that rpgmaker is ok as a 2d tool, but limited when it comes to how many plataforms it supports (windows only? maybe linux and mac if you make sure it works on wine).

For 3d, I'll just recommend to watch the RWBY tecnology panel where they sum up how much they cheated during development (it is about 3d animation using a software called poser).

The point is : 3d pay off in the end, since all that hard previous work you did will be reusable.

Do RPGs need a story?

I can't see how a guy interested in the story element of a rpg should be reading books instead. Rpgs, and games in general, are a interactive medium that imply more than reading text.
Game mechanics, music, sound effects and aesthetics for example can tell a story without using a single word.
As mentioned before a game without a scripted story, can still have one born from gameplay (like a match in sports or a boss battle with bad luck of randomness can become a story worth telling your friends).

Do RPGs need a story?

Lockez it's true that i got the name genre wrong, thanks for clarifing it out. But the question wasn't about "do games need a story?".
It was about rpgs, so i can't agree with the second. As a player i can't play a rpg without any trace of a interesting story. That's the experience that i look in it.

Do RPGs need a story?

I think that rpgs are called like that because they spend a good amount of time focusing in the story and characters. Of course tecnology, gameplay and aesthetics play a important role in the game themselves but it wasn't a trend in old games, like zelda or mario so it was rewarded with a "genre name".

If you remove story don't you end up with a game like chess?.
If you remove gameplay entirely or almost entirely, dont you end with a visual novel?

So in my opinion, rpgs are rpg for spending a great amount of time focusing/exploring the story/characters, rather than having or not having them.
