Playing a CRPG on a console is like eating steak with chopsticks.

You have to chop it up first?

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

The spirit of your words aren't an entirely inaccurate assessment from my point of view, however...

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

I wonder if BruceVC will enjoy his romances in tactical view or action mode?

Romance from top down or over the shoulder ?

 

Depends on the romanced female... some like it over the shoulder, others like the top down.

"If it's on console, it cannot be CRPG"

 

False. Consoles *are* computers..

The truth is trolling? L0L   Wars like these are stupid and only idiots  feel the need to argue what is better between consoles or computers. Both types of systems can have great games.  Console vs console vs PC is a childish debate only ignoramouses take part in. Bunch of religious nutz,.

The point, Volourn, is that one of the big concerns has always been that DA:I will feel like just another Console port.

 

Well? here we are, getting some evidence of that already.

Volo that is true, this concern has been raised numerous times. I am not going to say it is true yet because obviously I haven't played DA:I yet but this was a criticism raised before about DA:I from others

But, but, but if consoles are computers, then the glorious PC Master Race is nullyfied as a social construct as they are really the same....but, but, but that means that they do not hate consoles, but they have been hating themselves all along. 

 

Now gather around me children, and repeat after me:

Yes.

Does anyone use the PCGMR label in any manner other than deliberately ironic though? 

 

I certainly assume so, to preserve my positive and sunny view of humanity.

That was just a Yahtzee joke.  Generally us PC gamers are the despised scum of the industry since the publishers presume we are all thieves.  I guess now that consoles are like PCs now the console gamers get to enjoy being hated by industry.  Good times.

I own a PS4.

 

'C'RPGs and RTS games either don't exist for it or suck on it.

 

Apart from that I like the PS4 for what it is.

While the label might be ironic, there are more than a few people who seem to actually believe the fundamentals of it are, in fact, true. :p

...which is about the most sensible attitude to take on the whole consoles vs. PC thing.

Come on Volo, you do make good points at times but this type of comment makes it very hard to believe that you are not trolling

 

But instead of assuming what you mean can you give me examples of good CRPG that exist on consoles?
