Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM
Mass Effect and Dragon Age and Morrowind were fun, but newer games keep getting designed for consoles, which is pretty much the kiss of death as far as intellectual stimulation goes. :P

I need a good RPG. Ghavrel - 13/01/2011 06:49:32 PM 3007 Views
The Witcher Zalis - 13/01/2011 07:13:50 PM 1842 Views
I have the Witcher waiting at home for me to install next week Stephen - 13/01/2011 08:59:45 PM 1633 Views
Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:38:15 AM 1760 Views
If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:07:12 PM 1726 Views
All right. I'll give it a shot, then. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:17:17 PM 989 Views
Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called. Aemon - 14/01/2011 09:56:56 PM 1770 Views
It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series. Legolas - 15/01/2011 01:13:39 PM 1757 Views
I've heard that, yeah. I just don't think enough of it made it into the game. (minor spoilers) Aemon - 15/01/2011 08:12:34 PM 1708 Views
The thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a game. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:15:10 PM 1780 Views
Wow, I guess you touched a nerve, Legolas. New pet peeve discovered! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:22:37 PM 989 Views
I don't have time to do this justice, but I'll make a brief comment. Aemon - 18/01/2011 09:30:20 PM 1750 Views
Did you read his post? lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 09:59:21 PM 1744 Views
Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. Aemon - 18/01/2011 10:31:46 PM 1714 Views
Re: Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 10:43:20 PM 1792 Views
So I just realized I sparked a bit of a controversy here... I should check this board more often. Legolas - 25/01/2011 10:28:34 PM 1662 Views
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn? Fanatic-Templar - 13/01/2011 08:00:21 PM 1675 Views
Try Divinity 2: Dragonknight Saga. Dan - 13/01/2011 10:38:45 PM 1918 Views
Do yourself a favor... A Deathwatch Guard - 13/01/2011 10:39:41 PM 1698 Views
Everything is the opposite of Morrowind, though. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:37:42 AM 1842 Views
Just go ahead and shoot yourself now A Deathwatch Guard - 14/01/2011 07:51:06 PM 1712 Views
...you were so right. Fable is an MMORPG without the other people. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:35:46 AM 1733 Views
...dislikes...Fallout...3....*dies* *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2011 11:34:10 PM 974 Views
It was boring. Really, really boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:36:41 AM 1776 Views
I'm with you, brother! beetnemesis - 14/01/2011 05:51:41 AM 1767 Views
awwww...I loved Fallout 3 Fox and Ravens - 14/01/2011 03:37:51 PM 1655 Views
No... Jacob - 14/01/2011 03:47:22 PM 1902 Views
It's minecraft with guns. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:23 PM 971 Views
And without a destructible environment. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:52 PM 1678 Views
Yet... Jacob - 15/01/2011 01:27:28 AM 1671 Views
I enjoyed its gameplay more than Fallout. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:40:06 AM 1756 Views
The best story I've ever seen... A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 05:01:47 AM 1733 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1769 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1587 Views
"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM* ianski - 19/01/2011 04:09:30 AM 955 Views
Coming from me, actually, that's higher praise than it deserves. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:54:57 AM 1727 Views
I got it for like $25, I'd say that's about what Fallout 3 is worth beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 05:09:34 PM 1852 Views
You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25 Jacob - 19/01/2011 06:12:26 PM 1671 Views
Fallout 3. Haven't played New Vegas. *NM* beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:41:24 PM 961 Views
Jacob - 19/01/2011 09:01:18 PM 1731 Views
Wait. You haven't played it yet? ianski - 20/01/2011 03:46:17 AM 1746 Views
Well said ironclad - 20/01/2011 08:43:25 AM 1651 Views
Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM 1783 Views
Precisely. *NM* ironclad - 20/01/2011 07:48:21 PM 963 Views
Both games are great. Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:56:14 PM 1699 Views
Played Fallout 3, but not NV. Ghavrel - 20/01/2011 06:22:33 PM 1637 Views
I'm sure I'll be trying that new ianski - 21/01/2011 02:04:47 PM 1810 Views
Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game. Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 06:43:16 PM 1758 Views
Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO. Zalis - 21/01/2011 11:57:26 PM 1809 Views
PC gaming is drying up. ianski - 22/01/2011 01:29:09 AM 1680 Views
That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 06:50:32 AM 1773 Views
ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off. Zalis - 22/01/2011 03:27:05 PM 1598 Views
Fallout 3 was a post apocalyptic Oblivion. MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:02:28 AM 1787 Views
If you want a GREAT story, I would go for... MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:04:15 AM 1795 Views
I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:09:29 PM 1712 Views
Played it. It was good. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:15:38 PM 971 Views
the baldur's gate trilogy and the icewind dales *NM* Foxhead - 14/01/2011 09:32:32 AM 908 Views
Icewind Dale has no story. Fanatic-Templar - 14/01/2011 07:19:15 PM 1696 Views
I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM 1796 Views
I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:31:51 AM 1609 Views
Do you know about "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"? It will be released Nov 2011 *NM* Roland00 - 15/01/2011 04:52:13 AM 927 Views
The trailer to that is so awesome A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 04:58:04 AM 1649 Views
It is a good teaser... Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:21:15 PM 1717 Views
I do. But after Oblivion, I refuse to buy into hype. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:34:49 AM 1696 Views
Final Fantasy 8. Nebhead - 18/01/2011 09:10:51 AM 1909 Views
That was the first FF I quit before even finishing, and consequently the last I played in the series Zalis - 18/01/2011 03:23:40 PM 1715 Views
I wouldn't even call JRPGs and Western RPGs the same genre, really. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 19/01/2011 02:45:17 PM 897 Views
Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella. Zalis - 19/01/2011 03:11:41 PM 1695 Views
Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM 1767 Views
Worth a shot. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/01/2011 06:07:23 PM 946 Views
If you're going the Final Fantasy route, I'd recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/01/2011 06:36:02 PM 918 Views
ianski - 21/01/2011 02:14:41 PM 1700 Views
The gameplay or the story? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/01/2011 06:24:06 AM 949 Views
Gameplay is preventing me from playing this game. ianski - 23/01/2011 03:09:39 PM 1774 Views
Go SNES! FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound... beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:42:23 PM 1628 Views
I can agree to that. Fanatic-Templar - 19/01/2011 08:03:59 PM 1779 Views
A suggestion we can all agree on. Zalis - 19/01/2011 08:07:54 PM 1765 Views
Holy. Fanatic-Templar - 21/01/2011 08:17:35 PM 1743 Views
What do you think of Strategy RPGs? *NM* Roland00 - 20/01/2011 03:59:52 PM 917 Views
wat *NM* Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 04:13:07 AM 813 Views
