    Poll: Pick your airforce (a WWII thread)

    Personally I am stuck between the Messerschmitt ME 163 Kommet. First jet airplane that was used until the Brits come up with the Gloster Meteor. I am also in love with the Messerschmitt 262 Schwalbe. Another great jet that was more practical and safer for the pilot than the Kommet. The...

    what is up with gaming fans these days?

    From my experience with MH Tri, its really hit and miss. A lot of the problem is that most of the people online for Tri are 1st time players of the Monster Hunter games. I understand that it isn't always the case, but they believe that they do not need people and are trying to prove that they...

    Are sequels ever really worse than the originals?

    That all depends on the game and what changes were made. I loved Morrowind alot, even though it looks ugly as sin compared to Oblivion, I actually prefer Morrowind. But there are also cases where the sequel is better. ME2 is lengths better than the first, for making biotics actually useful and...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    That isn't always true. Fire Emblem allows your enemies to attack you, even if it is your turn. And you can do the same when they attack you, it just depends on, first, if the attack pattern of your weapon allows it and secondly if your character is actually allowed to attack. In my opinion...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    That is a valid point, the Sims does attract women to games and the more people that play games, the more potential there is in the gaming market.

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    I find your statement false archvile, there is no gamestyle that i enjoy more than turn based because of the fact that it is easier to strategize and it makes you adapt to what your enemy does in a way that you do have time to react and plot your next move. Strategies are never supposed to be...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    That statement in and of itself is false to me. I do enjoy the turn based action. I find it interesting at the very least to not only wonder what my opponent is going to do when he gets his action. I also love the fact that I can set up a plan and adapt to the situation on a action by action...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    I do not think that is the cause, if anything, I think that this generation of gamers, and I mean absolutely no offense, have been spoiled with the flashy graphics and explosions of this era. I played the Atari and NES for a good portion of my childhood, I didn't even play a Playstation until 2...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    My main argument for games that have the pause in combat and claim to be real time is that it is not truly real time action. My reason for saying that is that in most real time games, i.e. shooters, there is no true break in the combat, you have to give orders on the fly, which is good for...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    For the record, I am not just another one of those "Time to hate on CoD" people. I played the earlier CoDs and I like them, Big Red One was incredible. When I say that I do not like MW2, it is because I found the game way too short. As for the point of turn based being boring or too long...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    Someone had made a point about how MW2 and other shooters are more games of talent, which they are, than RPGs. And someone else, not sure if it was the same person complained they took to long as compared to one or two maps of MW2 or a half of a sports game. My point was that RPGs in and of...

    For some reason, my laptop is having problems with the quote feature, currently working on solving that problem, when I do, I will edit the post to better illustrate my point.

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    The thing I do not think most people get is that RPGs are MEANT to be long games. That is the issue I have with shooters, sports games, and every other genre. I play Madden and other EA Sports games, but they normally tide me over for a few minutes to an hour, depending on how long I decide I...

    Whatever happened to Turn Based RPGS?

    seriously, the Sims? That highly disturbs me as to what gamers are really willing to waste money on.
