  1. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    Well that's it. I've read most of the Codex threads I want to read. I don't know how moderating works here but if this topic can be closed, please close it. There's zero chance I would be coming back to post in it and there's little chance it would draw anyone but more retards. Also, since...

  2. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    Actually since this forum imported my personal Twitter avatar (probably from gmail). An avatar that one can easily search for to link me to almost all my online activity that uses this avatar. An avatar that's pseudo-exclusive as it was given to me from Mixx, an avatar that if you were to accuse...

  3. How would you make the JRPG genre...

    Retinue That was a shooter. I should know that, I shot aliens with a shotgun, before they captured me yet again (or was it a complete inability to make a jump...). Drago didn't specify it had to be an rpg. Most movie based videogames are mainstream movies and most of those are not going to...

  4. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    "Hardness. The former would be soft storyfag, someone who just can get enthralled by story alone. The latter would be hard storyfag, someone who would not just accept a great storyfag game, but be glad to sacrifice all the other elements if that would mean more games like it, even at the...

  5. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    DraQ, We pretty much have the same experience. I would say I may be worse off which is why I look up to the Codex somewhat. It's not like I'm the one with superior knowledge coming in. That's why it really caught me off guard. It's expected that there's always going to be a mainstream branch...

  6. How would you make the JRPG genre...

    Escape From Butcher Bay had a positive reception from critics.[57][58][55][56] Certain reviewers preferred the game over its film counterpart, and considered it an exception to the general mediocrity of film tie-in games. I'd try to pick a romance game but I don't even know what you mean by...

  7. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    Here in lies the problem. When your house of cards falls apart, you create a counterpoint that really isn't a counterpoint and you just keep digging deeper and deeper wherein you yourself can't decipher between when your counterpoints are hollow and stupid and most importantly inconcise or...

  8. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    ...at least you're getting close. I'll say you at least sound sincere so I will point out the obvious flaw of your post: There are question marks in my post. Several ones. You can pick one. Anyone. It will get you a lot closer than further building your house of cards anti-justifications. If...

  9. Emergent Narrative

    I've never played a Tabletop gaming before but to my knowledge, tabletop games do not have an emergent narrative. What they have is a Regressive Narrative. A world full of preset narrative that regresses based on what the GM created. To this effect, what you are really saying is you want CRPGs...

  10. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    I never claimed I was witty or intellectual. That's also the wrong summary. I would elaborate but it would be tl;dr. (The above sentence does not make it any much clearer. In fact it makes it much vaguer. If you had not understood my point already and then you were to read this reply, you...

  11. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    I guess this is just me lashing back but I dare say the last couple of posts for example, at least to me, shows me that if these are the ones who you consider half-trolls then they are among the worst half-trolls I've encountered but I'm looking at it more from an intellectual witty and...

  12. How would you make the JRPG genre...

    Sounds like you're talking about the Wild Arms series. Not exactly totally bereft of all these but certainly fit many of these qualities. Didn't exactly make the series a well beloved one by many CRPG lovers. I'd be curious too what CRPG you're talking about that somehow does not have these...

  13. How would you make the JRPG genre...

    I said I'll leave but I just happen to finish reading this and I'm still logged in and the topic interests me so for those who still care, this idea already exists in reality with StarTraders RPG Elite and Cyber Knights RPG Elite for the Android. As with most things though, the genre is not...

  14. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    Ok...here's my one sentence to you: A storyfag is someone who cares about and hyper-focuses on the story to an exhaustive degree. Here's my 2nd sentence to you: My reply and my thread has nothing to do with like or dislike as just because you dislike something doesn't mean you aren't one...

  15. Some questions from a storyfag who doesn't agree with other storyfags

    1. The behavioural description of storyfags goes against the depiction of it not being an exclusive elite. It is the insult that is the antithesis of elite but by aligning it with story, the insult auto-gave birth to an elite definition where it depicts more of a delicate behaviour unless it is...
