Sargallath Abraxium Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 ...an RPG is a stat-based game in which the player takes an interactive role in the game world...in other words, the world around you changes by your actions, decisions, etc; you (your character) have an impact on the world around you, much as things do in the real world...if, no matter what your actions, there are no true variables/variations in the gaming world, it is not a true RPG...simple as I can make it off the top o' me head... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died.

alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Splinter Cell is not an RPG. Games with stats aren't necessarily RPGs, but I do agree that a CRPG needs stat-based gameplay. Otherwise it often falls into categories like Adventure game and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveilled Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 What about it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, Paper Mario was an RPG, yet from what I understand the only stats in it were things like HP and MP, things you'd find in any adventure game.

EnderAndrew Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 In Paper Mario you have HP, FP, Attack Str, Def, and a few other stats. It has been a while since I played it, a few years actually. But you wear badges that improve attack and defense. I also think you have normal attack, and magical attack.

Reveilled Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 What about its predecessor, then? I'm looking at Super Mario RPG: legend of the Seven Stars right now, and the only stats it has are HP, FP, Attack, Defence, Mg.Attack and Mg.Defence. In Zelda, hearts are equivalent to HP, your magic meter equivalent to FP, the strength of your sword equivalent to Attack, the strength of your tunic equivalent to defence and magic defence, and the power of whatever spell you happen to have roughly equivalent to magic attack. Besides, I thought you were done with this thread? " EDIT: I didn't mean a particular one, Mus, as I haven't played either. I looked over several reviews and walkthroughs and didn't see any mention of stats like strength. Luckily, our good friend Ender has set us straight on that matter. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

Musopticon? Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 If I remeber correctly the newer one didn't have stats. But I doubt it.

LoneWolf16 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 If you want to make it as simple as possible... Role....Playing....Game A game, in which you play a role. Problem solved... All games, to some degree, could be called an RPG. All other arguments are moot, and every other point could be argued as being nothing but opinion. It comes down to your particular definition, and nobody elses. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
