I drink my own pee.

I just did it, the video will be up shortly. Its pretty good and includes some quality "real world" like drama scenes. He said I had a small penis and I cried. Then we hugged and made some sweat, sweat love. Then I pissed on him again. And cried a little more.

I like to have hot steamy jizum loads shot onto my face and say stupid shit and then use cute things like smily faces, because its cute.

And I also like my mommy and daddy. My daddy is strong!!!

Unlike most of the reviews I saw of DL, the review of it from rpgdot showed the reviewer is an rpg fan and not some dickhead drooling over hellgate london and doom 4 and pissed he got stuck with reviewing a stupid non leet game. In fact, he knew he was going to catch shit for reviewing it as he saw fit and not going with the rest of the angry community, and the other staff at rpgdot. That shows he has balls and autonomy and isn't a fucking lemming.

Most of the things I've seen mentioned in a lot of reviews are things that most RPG fans would be concerned with though. The barren towns, the missing and broken skills and character creation, the lack of the minimap, and so forth have all been mentioned in most reviews.

You're very angry for a llama. I think its great you liked cops 2170, I thought it was okay and a lot better than Paradise Cracked. So you liked a game and would rate it higher than other reviewers, but if a staff member at rpgdot does this the whole site loses credibility?

You don't like DL, woopity fucking doo. I'm sorry I attacked hellgate london, I'm sure your review of it will be gushing with queerness and show how leet it is and how all the cool kids love it. You, excitum and the rest of rpgcodex's staff can all get together and do a circle jerk and cum all over the hellgate london box, and bury it in a time capsule, and then show all your pussy grandkids what a real rpg is like, and what a bunch of guys cum looks like after stagnating for 50 years. Then you can all make-out like back in the old days and then molest your grandkids. I don't give a shit what you sick-o's do. Just leave my grandkids out of it. Cuntface.

Are you fucking retarded or something?

Did you not see the giant white letters that say Exitium is not every single person here?

I dont like Hellgate London or stupid shit like Doom 3. Kinda wacky someone uses this to defend RPGDot which has shit like GTA in their awards.

I said I liked Cops 2170 to inform you that no RPGCODEX OMG EVAL hivemind goes on here.

And I mentioned Dungeon Lords to show that despite a game being total fucking shit, RPGDot still gives it high ratings because they are too big of pussies to trash a truely shitty game and instead give everything high ratings.

If you think people are saying Dungeon Lords sucks because it 'isnt cool' then you are even more retarded, like past verybigslayer retarded.

Supreme Commander is also going to suck, good point.


RoL > you.

Rise of Legends looks pretty, I'll grant you that, but the gameplay's just going to be yet another Warcraft 3/C&C derivative, with everything centered around resources. That's really no fun.

... but GTA is an RPG. I mean, it's got stats and your weapon skills level up and there's romance and quests and stuff. It's just more of an action-RPG.

GTA is not an RPG. There are no decisions and stats aren't really important - you just level them up as you go.

one can say the same for a number of other "rpg" games too. DS being one of them.

Rather, decisions in San Andreas (or other GTA games) most of the time aren't as poignant as we'd expect from an RPG.

not sure if they code this in, but if i start killing alot of members from one gang, would they soon start shooting me on sight?

i am playing GTA SA right now. the inclusion of stats feels rather needless so far.

GTA feels more like an adventure game for the hood to me. It doesn't have enough jumping puzzles to be an action RPG. :D

While I haven't played San Andreas yet, in GTA3 and Vice City gang members would fight back and attack you on sight if you harmed one of them in their presence. However, the consequence was only momentary, as running away would stop this... Though, in GTA3, the gangs - the Diablos, Colombian Cartel, mobsters and Triads - would attack you on sight as you progressed trough the story (as you were basically forced to make attacks against these organizations or they high-ranking members).

From what I heard of SA, you can start gang wars and defeat some gangs to gain their territory - this is supposed to permanently end that rival gang.

Until you're forced to leave town by the cops but it comes back into play later in the game.

The GTA games are just too linear and paint by the numbers to be called RPGs. Like Bioware games, they're just adventure titles. Which is just fine but the whole concept of an RPG is very watered down when you start applying it to GTA...

Killzig is an idiot. BIo games are RPGs hence why they are covered by the RPGCodex. They have EVERYTHING a RPG should have. You cana rgue the quality 'til you are orange in the face; but it is undisputable by anyone with any knwoeldge of RPGs that they *are* RPGs.

I already proved you wrong, and now you start up again like you disproved the law of noncontradiction and the rule of consistency? Jade Empire is a Bio game and is not an rpg.

What gaint letters?

I don't know why you're so angry. You had me at retard.

"I said I liked Cops 2170 to inform you that no RPGCODEX OMG EVAL hivemind goes on here."

Thats fantastic. I'm damn proud of you. But you miss my point. What if the nicer than any other review of COPS at rpgcodex called into question your credibility and rpgcodex's credibility all because one staff member likes COPS and everyone here loves Hellgate London?

And I don't understand what all the name calling and swearing accomplishes. People are just going to think you're a vulgar idiot.

I'm sure waiting for Hellgate to go gold is a stressfful time for you nd everyone here at rpgcodex but if you just relax a little you'll get through it, I promise.

It was good talking to you ma'am. I hope Hellgate really is as you guys say it will be. Have a good day lady.

Cleve is a (supposed) RPG developer. Drivers are used to play RPGS.

Nothing out of the ordinary here.

No, in RPGs decision making is mostly in combat. Which enemy to attack, what spell to use, run or defend, use a healing item. Decision making in real CRPGs is what determines if you win at combat or not. The less combat depends on decision making and the more it depends on reflexes the more of an Action RPG it is until you even lose the RPG part. This is where GTA is. It's not an RPG simply because combat success depends on your reflexes, and the only role of decision making is what weapon to use... which barely makes any difference at all.

All rival gangs shoot you on site right from the beginning.

i am playing GTA SA right now. the inclusion of stats feels rather needless so far.

It is, really. That's why the first two games didn't have them. It's just another little thing for gameplay though. The thing is, the stats don't really "matter" yeah you get stronger as time goes on, but you basically just end up maxing everything out. There's not even a little decision making as to character built...


EDIT: Fixed quote author. That'll teach me to just re-use quote blocks...
