I agree. We are facing a nearly limitless future - yet we have to put up with one banal, shit, boring interactive movie after another. Mankind has the tools, but yet we lack the vision.The RPG has been cannibalized over and over. Its gameplay mechanics are present in games that run the gamut from sports to strategy. But the future has never been more limitless for a genre that was built on the backs of pen-and-paper character sheets.
Yeah, just look at our Top10 RPGs of 2011 thread(s)Just look at the lineup of likely contenders for game of the year. You don't need any more proof that the RPG is alive and well.
