September 7, 200520 yr Were you hoping for an open-ended game still Karka? Perhaps you start out as a lowly underling pirate and work your way up? Or would you prefer a game with a more strict story line? How would you make it RPGish?
September 7, 200520 yr I'm craving a good pirate RPG. Pirates! is a boring and repeative game. It is not an RPG also. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NWN has a premium module that has pirates. :D "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

Or would you prefer a game with a more strict story line? How would you make it RPGish? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mmm. I think an open ended and non-linear piracy rpg would be great. In fact a prpg must be non-linear and open ended i think. Because there are no paths on sea But i don't say "no" for a good story. I'm craving a good pirate RPG. Pirates! is a boring and repeative game. It is not an RPG also. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NWN has a premium module that has pirates. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In that module you can walk under the sea... In fact i'm not looking for a fantasy and piracy hibrid rpg. I don't wanna cast spell with my pirate
September 9, 200520 yr It will be interesting to see how Jade Empire 2 takes over from the original JE. K2 had its flaws, but Bioware has been making sequels in the form of expansions for original games. Will keep an eye out for JE 2 and see what happens. Some links for Jade Empire 2: IGN: Jade Empire Trailers, Videos and Movies Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy. Some see salvation as an act of God, a few look within for it. 朱宣澧
September 12, 200520 yr Kum-kun doesn't know what he's talking about. Sea Dogs wasn't good enough? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no The remake of "Pirates!" took the only aspect of that game that people hold up and it shamed it.
September 17, 200520 yr A conan action/rpg game play and engine look uninspired <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dunno, I think it fits that "dark fantasy" look.
September 20, 200520 yr Has anyone mentioned Hellgate: London yet? Looking good, looking good. And yes, it is an RPG - a first-person RPG.
September 22, 200520 yr Has anyone mentioned Hellgate: London yet? Looking good, looking good. And yes, it is an RPG - a first-person RPG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea, it's in the list
October 10, 200520 yr Mass Effect. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The one I'm most intrigued by, for some reason. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
October 11, 200520 yr Its looks like its going to be another action CRPG, kind of like Jade Empire but in space. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, at least it's not fantasy.
October 11, 200520 yr That remains to be seen. If there is magic and "supernatural powers" involved it goes back in the fantasy pile. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you read the article from gamespot that I linked in that Mass Effect thread? It sounded like they're going to have sorta cybernetic implant-type ability, which I assume will provide the "magic" ability.

October 11, 200520 yr Whocares. Fantasy is the best genre, anyways. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
October 11, 200520 yr No. Space is. It's overrated. Fantasy can never be overused. period. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
October 12, 200520 yr No. Space is. It's overrated. Fantasy can never be overused. period. Too many RPGs don't take the trouble to put an interesting spin on the fantasy or space setting, leading to a feeling of their being overused. Gothic 2 was a good example of a game that just felt to me to be too generic. Looking down that list, I could suggest others. The Star Wars setting is getting that way, as the Star Trek one did before it. Since this new movie Serenity is very successful, perhaps we can expect an RPG based on that universe in the near future. If that turns out to be PNJ, I'd be happy.

I personally would love to play a game where I start as a final year student in the Harvard MBA program, then I accept a job in a prominent New York brokerage firm. After about a year, I decide to buy a car. I actually go down to the Ferrari dealership and haggle with guy over a price. I wine and dine clients, get hit on by client's wives, and otherwise have all kinds of distractions and temptations that such a world presents. Then, after about 20 hours into the game, I realize that I am a brainwashed secret agent for some cabal trying to take over the world, etc....
October 12, 200520 yr I'd so play that if it were a indie game. For million moolah budget rpgs, I want fantastic settings and ear/eyecandy. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
October 21, 200520 yr What about Mount & Blade? I wouldn't consider most indies since they turn out to be vaporware, but this guy is constantly updating the game and has a demo/beta. http://www.taleworlds.com/
October 21, 200520 yr I was wondering that too. But Ender isn't posting anymore, so somebody has to start a new thread in order to update the existing list.

October 25, 200520 yr Not necessarily, I could edit it in. I won't, however. I might start a new thread, or if someone wanted to start one I can take care of stickyin' it.
