ricolikesrice said:The RPGs of old werent - their focus was on character creation, exploration, development, progression, tactics, encounter design, loot. things that even the worst fanboys tend to agree were pretty bad in TW which focused on dialogue and storytelling, things most old RPGs even abstracted or were not really good in.
ricolikesrice said:so to summarize The Witcher has completely different gameplay & strenghts and weaknesses compared to most RPGs, yet you argue shit like "it has levels and xp" - so does DIRT2, "its stats influence combat" - guns in FPS have dmg stats too and Gordon/Masterchief even have hitpoints !.

Not this shit again. Those weren't rpgs, they were fucking boring shit games.
Seriously, I'm wondering why no one ever bothered to make the distinction regarding dungeon crawls and the Fallout-Arcanum-Bioware type of games. Yes I'm clumping Bioware games with Arcanum and Fallout - they were just bad games of that type. I guess it has something to do with being old school, but now this is the new shit, it's time the new generation turned their backs on all this :moonblut: bullshit and decided Fallout has nothing to do with Might and Magic, because it doesn't. Fallout = rpg, Might and Magic = some old utterly mind numbing shit nobody cares about. Yeah. That's right

The Witcher has heart. It has soul. If The Witcher sang the Blues, you'd want to listen. This is a game made by people who genuinely loved what they were doing, and it's clear that rather than asking themselves "How can we best serve the market?", the developers instead asked "Wouldn't it be awesome if . . .?" It has all the enthusiasm and the quirkiness (for better and worse) of an indie game, but the production values that only a multi-million dollar budget will buy.

Wrong faggot. This painting was created in 1924. I'll be merciful and do the maths for you - 15 years before the ww2.
And no, Poles weren't stupid - we used cavalery units in the war but certainly didn't charge on machine guns, let alone tanks. Actually this is a myth popularised by Brit poet (forgot the name, damnit) and Polish film director - Andrzej Wajda (in the movie "Lotna"). In both cases this metaphor was used to convey the hopelessness of struggle. Obviously, plenty of idiots understood it literally.
In second ww cavalery units proved invaluable in rapid attacks on German light infantry. They didn't charge at enemy with lances, sabres or what have you (though they retained sabres as their ceremonial weapon). The corps consisted of well trained marksmen often equipped with anti-tank rifles. Some units could have some heavy weapons.
Oh, and the painting depicts Polish hussaria - an elite cavalery unit considered to be one of the most effective in the world between 16th and 18th century.
Here're links if you need confirmation.

(If that weren't a trolling attempt on your part then mankind is doomed - so much fail in one post.)

How would you characterize Mass Effect 2 then? RPG? Is it more or less an RPG than The Witcher?
Serious_Business said:Waaah! Arpeegees were invented in 1997!
barker_s said:To sum it up, you assume that, because I'm Polish, I'm some kind of a rabid, biased fanboy and I'll rage about you throwing shit at "my game". No sir.
