Games you wish they would make

[CygnusZ]

I'd like to see an RPG in the mold of Ultima VII. The land of Britannia was really immersive. The NPCs were especially impressive, with a good amount of unique dialogue and daily routines. It was fun just to go off an explore the countryside. All of the dungeons were well made (even the optional ones), and even though 90% of the game was side-quests, they were all very interesting.

If a game could bring that Ultima VII experience into this century I think that it'd not only be a great game, but would sell fantastically. It would be the new benchmark for RPGs.

Ultima VII did have a problem with a poor combat engine though, which is why I think the system introduced in Final Fantasy XII should be the wave of the future. FFXII basically has infinity engine style combat, but you can actually program artifical intelligence routines into your party. So, even though you're not directly controlling everybody (and the combat is fast) you know what everybody is doing and why.

In that case, I'll just repeat a comment that was made a few months back by some other poster here; they need to make a DBZ MMORPG to act as a moron magnet, drawing losers away from the other games.

There are too many for any one game to catch them all.

[Elok]

Catch them all? Okay, make a Pokemon MMO too, that should take out a bunch of the others.

I'm not thinking much of new games nowadays. More int old games somewhat, extensions etc. New games are boring.

[DrSpike]

Would you like a pipe and slippers?

[Ecthy]

Are you talking to me or to Elok?

[DrSpike]

I would have thought it was clear.

[Ecthy]

It clearly isn't to me.

[DrSpike]

Well maybe you smoked that pipe of yours too much today.

[Ecthy]

Didn't smoke no pipe. Spend little time sleeping last night. Had an MP game with da masta.

RPG's aren't supposed to be FPS's.

I don't expect twitch reflexes to be necessary to play an RPG. An RPG should require less skills not more. It shouldn't be solely about killing monsters.

The real question is what are the games you think they shouldn't make.

[DrSpike]

Sims3?

I already knew that would be your response. How did I guess?
