RPGS are all about customising your character's looks!

According to this Gamespot idiot:

http://uk.gamespot.com/users/Donkeljohn ... ;subject;3

I mean, seriously, it seems wherever I look on that website there is always some braindead fool spouting time-wasting rubbish. This guy has a few more brain cells than the average Gamespot user but really what he's written is just as annoying as reading 'PS3 SUCKS 360 RULZ'.

According to this guy Need for Speed and Forza can be called 'CaRPGs' because you can customise your vehicle!

 

[Futile Rhetoric]

"CaRPGs"....that's incredible, I never would have thought of that.

Giggle.

Edit: After pondering this for a short while, it makes perfect sense. The RPG genre has been completely undressed over the past years -- some here may joke that "Halo is the greatest RPG ever", and that Fifa 20xx is an RPG because you can customise your team (and/or players, fuck knows -- I've played Fifa once, in 1996), but I'm afraid "progress" is about to catch up.

Open your eyes and see the light people: all games are RPGs... because you can customize your display, audio and controller options from the preferences menu!

On a serious note, it's not surprising. Take a look at his game collection. Most of his games are for consoles and the only somewhat significant RPG he played was NWN... and we all know how significant that one is...

There are customized condoms too.

The idiocy is reaching new levels with the term CaRPG.. Why can't you Gamespot kids just get it? Black is not white. Racing games are not RPGs.

From comments:

Just having a female Shepard character with female voice acting has me enough times excited about Mass Effect :D.

And it's amazing that everyone there agrees with the article.

Funny that a blogger who frequents GameSpot finds allies in other clowns who frequent GameSpot.

 

[VonVentrue]

In addition, the guy responsible for having written this bullshit clearly overuses the term 'next generation'. This is what aggressive marketing does to people - they lose the ability to think critically.

Welcome to the console world.

Face it, RPG territory is being invaded, nay overrun by SIM players. I know lots of people who actually like Oblivion because they can dress up their characters and get them accessoires and stuff. It works like this:

1. make game and pretend it's an RPG
2. lots of customization options for the PC look
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

The next-generation is even more profitable. It goes something like this:

1. Pretend to make RP game.
2. Market lies.
3. Avoid criticism with Marketing Spin.
4. Liquidate assets.
5. File Bankruptcy.
6. Goto 1.

The shades of gray are almost unbearable for this genre!

Gamespot is filled with these retards who only play console anime games. No reason to take notice of yet another dumbass.

Seriously, I hate it when somebody from Europe goes on dressing in traditional Japanese clothes and spouts their philosophy almost as much as the American Gamespot kids who put Zelda pictures in their sigs and Dragon Ball Z stuff in their avatar. It makes me sick and I feel ashamed for having such idiots to belong to my race.

Gamespot should be eliminated. A community based on pure idiocy will warp logic and tear a hole in the natural laws.

Japanese shouldn't be allowed to make rpgs. Just saying.

 

[Jasede]

You know of a Japanese CRPG? I only know two, Shin Megami Tensei 1 & 2.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Actually I just looked for an RPG union, hoping to find Fallout, Arcanum or Bloodlines fans on there.

I found quite a few RPG unions.

Of course, they were all devoted to Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts and other Japanese games...

 

[Jasede]

Oh, I forgot, the two Wizardry spin-offs are also quite CRPG-ish.

Dumbfucks.... Everybody knows that RPGs are riding on horse and killing things...
Seriously... Freedom of speech should be only for those who have something wise to say...

Are we forgetting the most customisable RPG to date, Fable? I know people have their issues with it, but with my review of it coming up tomorrow, I hope to deliver the truth that Fable is possibly the most socially interactive and customisable RPG to date.

Heaven....give...me...strength....
