Serrano Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Invisible War was great, it did several things better than the original and while the ending was awful, most of the game kicked ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helz Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Another blasphemy: Deus Ex is one of the most overrated games of all time, but I liked the sequel quite a bit. If by "the sequel" you mean the prequel, I'd reluctantly have to agree (crappy storyline or not, smoother gameplay is smooth). Otherwise, prepare to be purged. Human Revolution had nice graphics (if you could ignore the hideous textures) and a decent stealth system. The building you work in and the opening mission were the best parts of the game. The combat and AI were terrible. The upgrade paths were shockingly crappy. It also featured some of the most artificial feeling cities of any game I've ever played that wasn't made by Bethesda. Modulated linear rat mazes sparsely populated with plastic people stuck in front of cardboard cutout stores with painted on doors, repeating the same lines ad nauseum. When I said sequel, I was referring to Invisible War. I'll take my chances with you. You threaten strangers over the internet to compensate for your cowardice in the real world.

Ganrich Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I guess my blasphemy is... That I don't usually care for Japanese RPGs. There are a few I beat and enjoyed, but I don't particularly care for insanely over the top stories or old school turn based RPGs typically bore me (games like FF where one group stands on the right, the other on the left, and you fight in menu based style while watching crazy cinematics when using special attacks. Not turn based games like fallout as I actually love those). As I said, there are exceptions, like FF 6 (FF 3 for US release), FF 7, Chronotrigger, Shining Force, and Panzer Dragoon Saga. I am not going to get into all the reasons I liked these titles, and there may be a few I am forgetting, but for the most part I get bored with gameplay on these types of RPGs pretty quickly. These titles are the ones I beat, and remember beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I've never even played a JRPG and if I didn't read stuff on this forum I wouldn't even know what one was. Now I do I'm pretty sure they suck. And I love loads of Japanese stuff, but that's mainly cinema, literature and some pop culture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoonDing Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 At least JRPGs dare to utilize uncommon settings (Germanic mythology, WWII, WWI) with that unique Japanese twist whilst CRPGs are 90% generic fantasy. And the few CRPGs with unique setting have dreadful gameplay (Arcanum, Septerra Core). 4 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have no clue where it was actually developed, but Septerra Core is as jRPG as jRPG gets, whether it was developed in Japan or elsewhere.

Orogun01 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I have no clue where it was actually developed, but Septerra Core is as jRPG as jRPG gets, whether it was developed in Japan or elsewhere. It was published (not localized) by Monolith Studios and the lead designer has a western name. My guess is that they tried to mimic JRPGs, there were a few people trying to break into the niche markets on the west with titles like those. I remember playing the dreadful Sudeki.

Guard Dog Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Ok, here's my $.02 With PE I have bought my last CRPG.... ever.... unless someone brings the Planescape setting or something similar back. Or Fallout 4 looks good. Anyone who didn't like Torment should have their head examined Anyone who did like NWNs official material... see above I never figured out how to cast a spell in NWN 2, it was a pain in the ass that ruined the game, unless you play as a fighting class which I always do anyway Morrowind was ugly but good Skyrim was beautiful but bad Why can't we switch those two? I have gotten more enjoyment from the story in bad novels than the story of good games (except Torment) RTS Games are more enjoyable than CRPGs Politically correct guidelines and publishers nannyisms will prevent any CRPG from being any good. Except, hopefully, PE and finally D&D rules should only be used by skinny pimple faced geeks rolling dice in the back booth of a Pizza Hut in Topeka KS at 11pm in 1987... not by modern game developers. /rant 4 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
