Regardless of what others may think, you are actually allowed to have personal preference and taste. You do not need to defend and justify what you personal enjoy in a game. I really do not understand this movement where everyone has to like FPS games... I remember a time when we had multiple genera's of Games! RPG, Platform, Puzzle, Adventure, Action, Simulations, Sports, Beat em ups & FPS Games, Plus every combination of any or all of the above... and each was a valid choice for what you as the player were allowed to enjoy. But somewhere down the line someone decided everyone had to Enjoy FPS Games and World of Warcraft... and I had always hoped that in the year 2007 we would have more choice, not less. Silly silly me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So this topic is really about how much you don't want a "tr00" RPG to be soiled by FPS-elements?- is there a difference between rpg and fps anymore?
How does third person give you a better peripheral view?- Space Strategy Games
Straightforward wasn't the problem, playing finger-twister in a RTS shooter just doesn't do it for me. I was aiming for farcically detached - blame the Christmas Blues. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's where I pegged it; maybe I understand the context better?- A New PC
Apparently the Intel latency timing isn't important with the DDR2 stock, so the best is cheapest that can be overclocked, like the A-Data Vitesta DDR2 1000+ ...- Playstation 3 a bargain?
Well, that's reassuring, but there is still some (though apparently not much) resource cost involved ... even though the XBox 360 uses ATi's Xenos graphics technology, for example, but Microsoft still has to pay nVidia a fee for every box sold as a licence royalty for Xbox games.- James Brown

- Do you like WW2 grand strategy naval wargames?
Actually my father used to use the term "nip" as a perjorative, and "jap" was almost affectionate. They cut off the water supply in the war.- Wii Rox!

I bet if it was NWN2 then there would have been a line of 10 people telling you to break the pipe on the way to the room. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok roshan, we all get it: you were unimpressed by NwN2. Please move on now. As to the topic, even though it is predominantly a semantic argument, I find the question rather misguided. After all, an RPG has the PC develop during the game in skills and / or techniques / knowledge. In an FPS the entire "PC development process" consists of accumulating new and different weapons. I assume the this topic is more addressed to the FPS gaining more RPG-elements, rather than RPGs becoming more twitchy (though improved graphics are unavoidable at some pace). Now the (in my view very healthy) cross-over between the different styles that brings RPG elements into an FPS can only help keep gaming in general in the pink of health, without the Darwinian- Movies You Have Seen Lately
I just watched Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away. Nice; he does interesting things with characters.- James Brown
