The Forum Bitch/Whine thread!

[tuluse]

The forum categories aren't designed around goodness, but around arbitrary categories.

 

[DalekFlay]

We should have STATS, TACTICAL COMBAT, IMMERSHUN and STORY forums.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

We should have RPG forum, JRPG gulag, and general gaming forum.

 

[tuluse]

I'm sure we could make much better categories just as soon as we figure out what an RPG is. Anyone have a good definition?

 

[Rpgsaurus Rex]

Ultima was released for consoles. So was might and magic.

So were Wizardries up to 8

My definition of a true Console Popamole game: game with console controls, like the Dark Souls PC port

 

[Excidium]

How hard is it to understand that multiplataform western RPGs go on the console RPG subforum? Why didn't you tards complain WHEN the split happened? Why aren't you sending DU angry PMs? Don't you remember that keeping General RPG discussion won by a large margin on the poll and it was changed anyway?

And The Bard's Tale is now on your iPad/smart phone. Your point?

My point is that you need to L2READ: "For all those modern RPGs that have been designed for consoles as their target audience. Includes console only titles and games that had a multi-platform release on launch day."

I wasn't the one who made that shit up, if it was up to me it would still be General RPG Discussion. But it's the way it is. Also, inb4 "b-but morrowind was released first on the PC!"

But Xbox Morrowind was released after the PC version.

FLANK ATTACK!

I was prepared for your attack so there's no bonuses, also as Infinitron said it was developed as a multiplataform title.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Fuck your "my definition" bullshit. Popamole = Gears of War-style gameplay, based on shooting enemies that pop in and out of cover, hence pop-a-mole. That's the definition you'll find in St. Blobert's teachings. Every other definition is apocrypha shit created by butthurt apostles.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Fuck you, popamole has multiple definitions! That's the first, but common usage has expanded the umbrella of popamole to also cover declined and dumbed down gameplay, and/or repetitious gameplay!

 

[vorvek]

repetitious gameplay

I always knew all those dungeon crawlers from the 80s were just hiding their true form.

 

[DalekFlay]

If pop-a-mole is repetitious gameplay then Might and Magic is fucking king mole popper.

 

[Jick Magger]

I just assumed it covered all the dudebro dumbed down action and/or rooty dooty point and shooty brown and blooman games proudly sponsored by Dorites™ and Mountain Dew™.

But the way most describe it now, it just seems to be "Every game released after 2004 that I don't like and isn't covered by another subforum".

 

[Lancehead]

I like the current split of forums enough, because they're divided based on objective criteria, and not based on what each individual considers good, bad, or popamole.

 

[Infinitron]

It's a console RPG forum. The "popamole" thing is just for the lulz.

 

[Lancehead]

Sure, they should be in there if they satisfy the sub-forum criteria.

 

[Infinitron]

I'm sure if you bother DU enough he'll change it to what you want.

 

[evdk]

Certainly only good things can come of bothering DU, I for one look forward to our new developer specific subforums.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Well, at least developer specific subforums would stop the thread moving shenanigans.

 

[Gozma]

Join and rename console and jrpg forums to the haraam forum

 

[Jaesun]

There is an entire forum to bitch/whine, and it's called feedback.

Thanks.

 

[evdk]

There is an entire forum to bitch/whine, and it's called feedback.

Thanks.

Yeah, but DU actually reads that board, which makes it all a bit risky.

 

[spekkio]

We need only 2 gaming subforums:

• Goodshit
• Shit

Imagine the fun mods would have with moving threads back and forth.

 

[King Crispy]

We used to have an Emma Watson subforum. It was p. cool.
