Somebody help me...

since Asher is here

Does X-box have any good RPG's for it yet? I'm talking adult ones not kiddies stuff. By adult I don't mean nudity, just serious plot and violence and stuff.

[Asher]

I don't follow RPGs because I don't care for them.

There's games like Crimson Sea which are action-RPGs. Morrowind. And some others.

The Xbox is not an RPG console. If you want an RPG, you might as well pick up a D&D kit and a PS2

Does X-box have any good RPG's for it yet?

No. There are only a handful in the works and they're more along the lines of PC RPG's than console ones. It's one of the reasons I'll be buying a PS2 instead of an Xbox. I love me some RPGs...

Gotta escape reality somehow eh Drake

Gotta escape reality somehow eh Drake

Is that your idea of wit?

[Asher]

What do you think roleplaying games are for, Drake?

[Drake Tungsten]

What are any videogames for, Asher? Are you playing Splinter Cell to hone your infiltration skills? All games are about escaping reality...

[Asher]

The games I prefer are about blowing **** up.

See: MechAssault.

'splosions are good.

[Drake Tungsten]

'splosions are good.

See, even we can agree on something...

The vast majority of console RPGs suck royal ass.

Let's go collect things and watch CGI movies.

Wooohooo, sounds like fun, sign me up.

Not every console RPG is a CGI fest. I hate that style as well, but it is hardly the norm for non-Square RPG's. There have been some excellent console RPGs released in recent years, if you care to look for them. I doubt you do, however. It's easier to dismiss something you don't know about...

[Asher]

Zelda was okay, I don't understand the insane ratings they get though.

There are no doubt good console RPGs out there, it's just that all of the really popular ones these days tend to suck ass.

Square's in particular.

[MattHiggs]

I'm also not fond of Square's RPGs. Just don't like the gameplay at all. However Baldur's Gate series is up there with my favourite games. The story is great and it's told within the game instead of through FMVs. That is why I hate games like MGS2.

It's not really about escaping reality, as my reality is great, I don't need to get away from it.

Most console RPGs are just press X on enemy and repeat thousands of times. It just gets dull fast and the story is usually linear.

[Traianvs]

I'd get the X-Box because in the future ALL computers will be able to burn cds AT LEAST! If you got an external cd-r how long would you be able to use it for? honestly!

I don't believe that... CD-R getting standard?? noway, even a 3d card isn't standard at the moment (and you gotta have that to play games)

Most console RPGs are just press X on enemy and repeat thousands of times. It just gets dull fast and the story is usually linear.

That's why i just luuuuuuve the Baldur's gate saga: Do whatever you want, there's tons of character classes, assignments, adventures, monsters, locations, discussion and hard boiled action,... it's just so damn good!

Though Morrowind is better for complete freedom, most other RPGs have a certain storyline you have to follow one way or another, but I know few that just depend on clicking the enemy and doing the same thing over and over again... But that's Pc, not console

Gotta escape reality somehow eh Drake

It's not about escaping reality, it's about haing fun, whacking opponents, bribing, being a badass or being generous whenever you please, not to escape reality... reality is okay, why would i escape it

[Asher]

CD burners will certainly be standard pretty soon.

The Floppy Drive is biting the dust in 2003 officially, people need an easy physical medium to save to for portability...

CD burners are also pretty cheap to make now.
