DarthMethos Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 "Hey, Hades, HE said Diablo is an RPG... being a dev, I think he knows what he's talking about.." Eh... Devs are cool; but they surely don't know everything. If they did, we wouldn't have such trash like POR2 or DS being made. Or 'slam dunks'. Mr. U knows a lot; but that doesn't mean he knows everything... or that he's right all the time. As for Diablo.. it may be labeled a RPG; but it's a piss poor one. Good action game though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Diablo was an RPG.
Gabrielle Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Yes it is. Feagus knows what he is talking about.
kirottu Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Me likey! Feargus can throw me to the wall anytime. Good stuff about PNJ as well. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 A 3.5 MegaREmake of Baldur's Gate/Tales of the sword coast/Baldur's Gate 2 and Throne of Bhaal would rock! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't see the point. Although I dont see the point in RPG remakes in general either. The only exception would be FFV which is a game that I enjoy messing around with the system rather than the story. But if you remake a game with a same story,then there are no suprises and if you change the story too much, then it's no longer the same game. If you do then on another platform, thats a different matter I guess but then in the case of the FF remakes for the GBA/DS they havnt changed greatly (even in the graphics) from the original. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]

metadigital Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I think Feargus is just using a term commonly used by many people to describe the game. I'm not sure how we can say we are the ones "in the right," when it's a minority of gamers that seem intent on making sure Diablo is referred to as an RPG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The context of the comment indicates that Mr U. was showing the extremes of the spectrum of RPGs, at one end was mindless get-to-the-next-level focused combat games like Diablo, and at the other (of one of many axes, perhaps) was PS:T that was more focused on story and character development within. His personal opinion of what constitutes an RPG was never revealed. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Gromnir Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Can anyone say "Neverwinter Nights Two" faster than Feargus? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> don't know... but am sure that nobody could say "make fallout 3," slower than fergie.

karka Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I think the first next-gen title is an Xbox 360 exclusive(KOTOR3) title and the second one is PNJ which is for Xbox360 and PS3.
Llyranor Posted February 25, 2006 Author Posted February 25, 2006 Depending on what those titles are, those jerks at Obs might potentially end up making me get a 360/PS3. POTENTIALLY. At this point, I'm looking much more towards the Rev. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
mkreku Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 It was a good video. Just slightly lacking in the "half-naked babes" department. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Llyranor Posted February 25, 2006 Author Posted February 25, 2006 Well, you never actually see how much clothing Feargus is wearing below, so it's all up for interpretation. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

The minority of players refuse to call Diablo an RPG? First of all, that's a hard fact to prove, but I'd claim the other way around. Most players, except for the hard-core RPG elite, seem to consider Diablo an RPG. Personally, I consider it an RPG. It's not an RPG in the way that some uber-leet, pretentious RPGers think of them, but it sure as hell has the trappings as far as I can tell. I get a kick out of your take on the industry most of the time, but you're plain offtrack on this one.

Darque Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 It's an RPG that focuses on character development as opposed to story development.
Jediphile Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 It's an RPG that focuses on character development as opposed to story development. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it's an action game masquerading as an RPG due to character development and concepts like classes and levels that many people think make it into an RPG only because they fail to realise that many RPGs don't have classes and levels at all. It has some character development in the skill system, though, and it's fun for a while... But that doesn't make it an RPG. Nor does the fact that it has a plot. Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums.
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 It's an RPG that focuses on character development as opposed to story development. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Darque is a requirement for an rpg to be an rpg without darque it is not an rpg! Feargus is flawed in the case of diablo in that it has neither darque which is required, and is not an RPG but a CRPG... "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me
Gabrielle Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 It's an RPG that focuses on character development as opposed to story development. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its rare to have the best of both worlds.

Dark_Raven Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Feargus. I know no one is saying bad things about one of my favorites now? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
