alanschu Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Whats a 'twitch' ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Games that require reflexes are often called "twitch" games. Since the IE let you pause the game with the biggest button on the keyboard, I don't consider them twitch games as it is easy to pull personal reflexes out of the equation.
Lancer Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I do agree that people underestimate the combat in it though. I think it's probably because it doesn't seem to have as much focus as other IE games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The amount of combat in say the IWD games compared to PS:T is like comparing night and day.

alanschu Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 IWD definitely runs away with it. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing.
Craigboy2 Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 It's an RPG maybe not a traditional D&D one but it's an RPG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fallout is not D&D and it is an RPG. KOTOR is not D&D and it is an RPG. Vampire: Bloodlines is not D&D and it is an RPG. Ultima is not D&D and it is an RPG. Avernum is not D&D and it is an RPG....etc ad nauseum. But Diablo isn't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why not? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Having stats, levels, equipment, etc. doesn't make a game an RPG.

Bokishi Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Army Men Sarges Heroes was such a turd, I mean the producer might as well take a dump in a bag and sell it to you for 50 bucks!! Current 3DMark

There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
lordodark Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 the worst rpg i ever played has got to be morrowind i know its beeen said before but talk about a crap game
SteveThaiBinh Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) the worst rpg i ever played has got to be morrowind i know its beeen said before but talk about a crap game <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But doesn't your dislike of Morrowind (and, if I'm honest, my dislike of Sacred :angry: ) owe less to the quality of the game itself and more to the fact that it doesn't contain the things you look for in an RPG? The true 'worst RPG ever' would probably have a pretty big consensus behind it. Edited January 31, 2006 by SteveThaiBinh "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I enjoyed getting lost in Morrowind. Some places were hard to find, and some paths were hard to follow - I haven't played that many games that are big enough, or designed with enough care, that you can really get lost in them.

mkreku Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 If I can get lost in a gameworld, that's a big plus for that game! I love massive maps, although they still have to be interesting, varied and worth their while. Morrowind failed those three criterias. Gothic & Gothic 2 and GTA: San Andreas are some examples of games with fantastic gameworlds. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
