I just realized that KotOR, and, much more importantly, KotOR 2 have been released on Xbox before they were released on PC. This goes to show how absurd
Jaesun's "developed for Wintel" rule is. Just amending it to add this and that kind of PC is just not going to cut it if, in the end, you still end up with disallowing KotOR 2. You could simply say "no JRPGs", but even that would suck because it would exclude Anachronox.
What's the purpose of a list with hack n' slash, Jrpgs and tatical rpgs bundled together. These list should be sub-genre based, its the only way to be relevant...
Well, if we throw out hack'n'slashes, then the following will be automatically excluded:
Diablo + Hellfire
Diablo 2 + Lord of Destruction
all Diablo clones
Icewind Dale + Heart of Winter + Trials of the Luremaster
Icewind Dale 2
many, if not most, Goldbox games
and many others
At that point, this thread will have become just an exquisite form of the already traditional Codex circle jerk ritual of "What is an RPG?". Making sub-lists is just ignoring the elephant in the room. "How to draw the lines between RPG types" would become just yet another refinement of our beloved "What is an RPG?" topic.
