Thread: whoa...
At any rate:
I agree that there is some twitch involved with RPGs...its primarily with knowing when and where to haul your butt out of a conflict (unless if you play Final Fantasy I think...). But if you're playing something similar to KOTOR...many a time, not just standing in one place like a mindless zombie saved my butt too many times to count! Same applies with SWG too..
Maybe it wasn't set up like the traditional RPGs...but it still was an RPG nevertheless

i'm happy with my PS3
But for how long...?
Halo 3 is coming...
*dun dun duuuuuun*
Killzone=Good
I dunno Halo just doesn't do it for me.I've breifly played Halo 1 and Halo 2 and I really didn't want to play them anymore. Nor does it look all that interesting. It's to shiny clean and perfect. Yea the Graphics are good, but I'm sorry it just doesn't pull me in. Plus if I do get such a game it's gonna be on the console, where you can truley experience that action and I don't have the Xbox and their god forsaken controller.
Now Killzone, is cool. Graphic wise it ain't so great. It could of been, but I think it's so big it's too much for the PS2 to render or something bla bla. The AI is challenging, you cannot just run at 20 MPH and go bang bang bang! The Helghast will attack differently and respond differently to your actions. Plus they are tough they take about as many bullets to kill as you. I can't really describe it. Also the enviorments are gritty, cloudy, and the urban enviroments rock.
In the game you regenrate health but up to a point otherwise you have to find a health pack. You can only sprint so far. Certain characters can do different things. Like Rico the guy with a Chain Gun with a Missle Launcher mounted on it, is the tough guy. He's slow, but basically a little walking tank, however he cannot climb ladders like the rest.
The good news is a new and really awesome looking version is coming out on the PS3.
Anyways personally I'd rather see a movie of a Killzone.That would be cool. But I'm sure the Halo movie will be good.
I dunno I'm weird. I guess games like Medal of Honor Frontline, Killzone, Star Wars Rogue Squadron (Not Rebel Strike), Star Wars Bounty Hunter, and Mercenaries are games for me.

Halo was ruined the second they sold out to Microsoft, and shortened the game so it fit the X-Box.
Originally it was slated for PC first, with multiplayer that was to surpass halflife and all other. 64 v 64, battle for the whole halo, with chokepoints and more.
So no "whoa" from me...dang microsoft!

KOTOR and NWN are not "true" RPG. RPG's are Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger. It's more based on strategy of fighting, then running around and ambushing etc. All of those factors are made up in different ways (pre-emptive strikes etc)
Gothic all the way!!!
RPGs are all about on how you want your character to develop in the world you are set in.You could make a mage, a rouge, a fighter and many otherclasses.You can be evil and kill everybody, or you can do good deeds and be praised by the people. Allthis is in NWN and KOTOR (well, execpt for the kill everyone on sight thing) and also have great stories with different endings.

i heard that MS brought it from mac.
that was my issue this gen every bg name game was rush. halo 2 should have been worked on for 4 more months but no, they had to release it in novamber becuase of all of the hype. it was a good gen but it was not as good as the 32/64 and the 16 bit.
Here is where people get their stories a bit mixed up. Bungie did originally make games for the mac, but in an effort to stretch their market, they started porting the games over to PC (a move greatly decried by mac fanatics) before Microsoft every bought them, so it was likely that Halo would have been a PC game as well. When Microsoft bought Bungie, Halo was not a first person shooter. If any of you have seen the original E3 trailor, you know how different it was.
Well, around the time they bought Bungie, Microsoft started working on the X-Box. Bungie immediately jumped at the chance to work with the new software, and decided on creating a FPS instead. While they had originally planned a simultaneous release (it was NEVER going to be PC exclusive) with the PC version, the launch of the X-Box dictated that they release sooner. The PC version, released laterstill did present a much more robust multiplayer experience which included vehicle races, newer weapons and different game-types. Halo changed multiple times over the development cycle, but it turned out to be a great game.
Halo 2 was released prematurely by a few months not because of the hype (remember, they were already behind schedule) but to capture the Holiday market (which they definately did). Now, what concerns me is that Bungie is again going to have to meet a static deadline (the release of the PS3 is a very likely date, especially since it seems that the PS3 will be coming out in the fall, not the spring). I don't fear it will be a bad game. The controls will still be slick and intuitive, and they multiplayer will be a blast. But I do fear that they might shorten the game and cut scenes (a la KOTOR 2) to make time. The mechanics of Halo were always great, as was the story, so I know those things will be spot on. But I fear that something might be lost in a rush, such as the video glitches in the cutscenes that appeared in Halo 2.
ah well...I hope not.
