Well I just went through 23 pages of that and I'm pretty sure I'm an even mightier faggot than Jaesun now.

10 Stupid Things Terribly Wrong with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
2. Seriously, why isn't there voice-acting?

And why doesn't this game have voice-acting, again?

...

I'm not making this up—I swear I am not making this up: I was playing Twilight Princess on my big HDTV, way back on Wii Launch Day in 2006. My girlfriend at the time came over and watched me play for a bit. She wasn't a gamer. She stared at the screen for a while and was eventually like, "Man, why aren't these people talking? Why do I have to read this? This is dumb."
At first I was like :retarded:

But then:

He admitted in an article that everything he writes is trolling. But he's a bad troll because the things he writes are stupid enough to be completely believable. At that point it's no longer trolling, it's just lying. I wonder if Kotaku knows or if they take him seriously.

Well, that explains a lot of your posts. RPGC is filled with hateful mouthbreathers, who as individual members each have their One True RPG with everything else being garbage. It’s the only RPG forum where you honestly can find people who hate even the crustiest and most-hardcore of RPGs from any era, and, like Wizardry, can find people who hate even the crustiest and most-hardcore of RPG creators. Although…although I’m pretty sure that most of the people there like Arcanum. So that’s an exception.

RPGC is like No Mutants Allowed, but instead of simply limiting their hatred to Bethsoft’s F3 and FNV, hate the breadth and width of the entire CRPG genre, with the exception of their own One True RPG.

Behold the RPG checklist:

1) Is it a game? (Y/N)
2) Does it contain Role-Playing*? (Y/N)

If the answer to both questions 1 and 2 is Yes, then, congratulations! It is a role-playing game in the most technical sense.

*Role-Playing in this sense is defined as the ability to make dialogue/plot choices as the character. Deus Ex would qualify in this case, but not Half-Life 2.

vecordae said:
Nope. That’s intentional. A role playing game is a game where you play a role. If you’re not playing a role, it’s not a role playing game. The original batch of cRPGs were fantasy turn-based strategy games with an emphasis on unit progression, exploration, and small-group combat. That’s not surprising, as they were based on Dungeons and Dragons, which was, itself, based on an older fantasy wargame.

Eventually they added in the role playing bits and tossed out the Dungeons and Dragons bits, which is why we have games like Deus Ex, Mass Effect, and The Witcher.

If you play a game from your childhood or your early-game-playing-experience many years after you originally played it you are still experiencing it through nostalgia colored glasses. Nostalgia doesn’t require the thing you experienced back in the “good old days” to be no longer experience-able. It’s an emotional response in relation to memories and it definitely colors your modern-day perceptions.

PS:T and Deus Ex are no more “The real thing” than Skyrim is, in fact I would argue the opposite. The idea behind RPGs has always been an attempt to imagine yourself as a different person in a different world and in that way Skyrim is way more successful than either of those games.

I think that anyone who wants stat-heavy games necessarily MUST be looking at things through thick nostalgia-colored glasses. Stats are one (clunky) attempt at forcing indirection between a player and their character. They aren’t a particularly elegant solution to the problem. They’re brute-force.

Therefor I’d argue that RPGs that strip out player-fiddling with stats are actually the more evolved form of the genre.

I played RPGs since Bards Tale, and actually RPGs are only type of games i love.

And I came to conclusion that Skyrim climbed to No1 RPG of all times for me.

I enjoy every second.

Wow, the combat looks better than ANY other RPG! Even Dragon Age or The Witcher 2. Let’s hope it plays as well as it looks. I hope it’s not about mindlessy clicking.

Lobotomist said:
Witcher 2 = best combat.

If it can top that. Sign me in…
Oh wait, I have signed in allready ;)

Translation: If you still like a game you already played in the past, you ARE being a nostalgia faggot. No exceptions.

They're kinda right and wrong at the same time. But hell, I'd love them to come in and argue their points in forums that don't agree to their views. Their forum is so conformist.
