What are you playing? - Page 28

well, neither's jagged alliance - it's a tactical turnbased strategy!

Marcuz · 24 June 2008, 21:35

bah Diablo, Eye of Beholder... they are platform!

well... dungeon crawlers...
and as such, there is Crawl! (the correct name i always forget) and Telengard that are still better. while Diablo 1 was cool for me who i didn't knew the genre back then, Diablo 2 and Dungeons Siege were a delusion.

as much as i love Eye of the Beholder, it could never be a role playing game, if not in the sense that makes me play the role of a computer user who plays a dungeon crawling game.

EOB is a real RPG, even with this hack & slay combat system. Diablo? Call it what you ever want, maybe a dungeon fighting game with RPG elements. It's a modern Gaunlet version.

Shoonay · 24 June 2008, 21:41

maybe a click and slash?

who cares, it's awesome from time to time. like all the above games

Retro-Nerd · 24 June 2008, 21:43

There's a nice Diablo clone called "Record of Lodoss War" for the Dreamcast.

TCD · 24 June 2008, 21:47

You right about the gauntlet thing Retro. Two Worlds is a bit like Diablo in 3D, but the multiplayer part sucks

Has anybody played Hellgate London? I heard it is crap. Just want to know from you RPG experts

Probably one of the J-RPG's, which are avaible for the PC Engine too, right? The Dreamcast game is pure action like Diablo.

Probably... I haven't played [FM Towns] Record of Lodoss War or [FM Towns] Record of Lodoss War II as yet. Too many other games to play

Tactical Role Playing Game? Hahaha, i love this Wiki entries.

TCD · 25 June 2008, 00:31

You meant 'we all like different RPGs'

Well, appart from Dungeon Siege wich i find most boring, and Diablo because i dislike it. I like all the other RPG´s here mentioned well except Sacred, i really hate the part where the enemies chase you around the entire set, and sooo many enemies... they pop out of nowhere...Also dislike Gotic III, never understood why the guy must stop to drink a healing potion, cant he drink and run for his life at the same time? Also dont like GODS, but it was great to have Kyla Cole there...to bad she didnt drop her armour though.

Torment - Planescape was wierd but fun...

It's mainly a turn-based strategy game with a few RPG elements. This is a wide difference.

Calm down, none harms you. If it's a RPG for you...fine.

"rpg elements". Such a misused term. To me RPG elements are these:

- get into the skin of your character
- ability to interact with the world around you and have influence on it based on your personal actions
- deeply involving story that is told through the gameplay, not movies
- play out an actual role, not a script

What most people call "rpg elements" are things like quests, potions, magic, equipment with statistics, chests of treasure, skills, levels, professions, etc. I do not call these RPG elements at all, they are simply GAME elements that are often used in RPGs, but they do not define what an RPG, not in the least.

Retro-Nerd · 25 June 2008, 02:34

RPG elements, game elements mostly used in RPG's. Quibbling, nothing more. Everbody knows what it means if you mention it.
