I'm definately saddened. It would have been interesting to see what they've been working on for these long 12 years and how they thought they could compete in the arena of modern shooters. I wouldn't say that I'm grieving(even though I did make a comic strip...

As you might have seen the bitter side [http://www.geek.com/articles/games/iphone-shown-running-world-of-warcraft-20090427/]. Maybe because I'm definately not a fan of WoW, instead my friends who are obsessed with the game, have become incredibly anti-social and are able to talk only about the...

I believe userNaMe666xx species inhabit any place, also fantasy, sci-fi etc. and the only place where they would fit in would be a MMO game with the setting of internet forum. Also I think we're thinking in the box at the moment, presuming that this would be WoW with postapocalyptic setting...

I guess it would be cool, if the game was with quite aggressive PvP setup, which would mean that traveling alone in the wasteland is seriously dangerous. Then again, nowadays PvP is not considered casual players friendly, so such concept is very unlikely to be realized.

I had this idea that Fallout setting works very well (as any post-apocalyptic setting) for MMORPG world. There are lots unexplored, dangerous locations, there are lots of loot (remaining from the old world) and all the new players are people that have emerged from another just opened vault. Thus...

As I happened to write a B.A. paper on this topic, I definitely agree with you that game medium is still searching and exploring its way of storytelling, because for now it just "borrowing". I'm sure that the current methods will remain, because you can't get away from them far, because...

I agree that it's actually unfair to treat jRPGs ar especially stagnant, because really their early RPGs were with more content than western ones (which somehow seems strange, but apparently people then believed that due to technical limitations they should bring in just hack n'slashing aspect...

There is however one huge difference - strategy of action games are direct skill games, whilst RPGs more often than not more rely on your character improving rather than your own skills. Thus they are as one posted here more like something that you are addicted to not because of gameplay...

I think it's just like with everything else in the industry, there seems to be some winning formula and people will be afraid to change it, at least not before someone notorious (say "Blizzard") does it and is successful. On the other hand, if you manage you expectations, then you can still...

Well, yeah I admit that jRPG is a completely different thing.

Thanks for the advice, I will ask them.

Yeah, well creating is great, but you do need some tools. What can I create, say in "The Last Remnant"?

I guess I'm more in favour of those RPGs that somehow manage either to leave it in players hands what's coming next (somewhat more sandbox style) or that at least manage to space out the narrative in other forms than a lengthy script scene in between large doses of hack n'slash. There isn't...

Hi, I'm new here, and before you all start bashing me for this provocative title of the topic, I'd like to explain this idea a little more. I love RPG genre. It allows great story telling, non-linearity, it's addictive, you can explore etc. etc. But in spite of all this potentitial don't you...
