There's no such thing as a video-game true/pure/real RPG, there never was and until a Matrix type of AI there won't be. There are video-games that have RPG elements, but that's it.

1] It isn't OK, but it's reduced enough not to be that annoying. 2] More than both 1 and 3. And sometimes they're more annoying. 3] Vanilla F3 combat isn't a charm but it way better then the TB system and as a Bethesda game it can be easily modded. I play it with mods BTW. 4] How the...

Mea Culpa on TARDIS. But it's still crap. The fact that alien blasters are in all Fallout games doesn't make then less ridiculous. And why is it that the symbolic B* excuse works for every 2D game but not for 3D ?! Biased B* that's why. Washington D.C. is a lot bigger in reality...

All so called RPGs are really hybrids with rpgs elements at best.

But it still couldn't even scratch F2 in terms or ridiculousness. And some of your point aren't really valid, TARDIS, Mad Max, time traveling, Monthy Python with the Holy hand grenade, self reference, New Reno, mafia, alien blasters, alien wannabes. Junk weapons, Harold as a tree make...

IMO: F2: + lots of fun weapons + more quests + cool but uninspired professions (porn star, boxer) + cool but uninspired/illogical places (New Reno ?!) + sell you wife to slavers - stupid easter eggs - stupid self reference - more fetch quests - combat was piss poor (like...

True the end game in F3 was bad and broken. Sadly all Fallout games have this problem. In Fallout 1 they turned the master into a "evil is too stupid and/or lazy" cliche as for some reason he didn't realized then couldn't cope with the fact that his super mutants where sterile. And in...

A game being a shooter in terms of combat doesn't exclude it from being an RPG, or better put from having rpg elements and true rpgs don't exist, if it gives you options (talk, sneak, special things like augmentations and so forth). Crysis is a PC exclusive. It also has the possibility/choice...

Hardcore RPG gamers no, if the games are fun. Hardcore TBS/spreadsheet-freaks/stats-whores/electronic warboard gamers yes.

Apple stole from Xerox much of their stuff. IBM made the IBM PC and gave Microsoft the rights to the OS but only partially, Compaq the first successful PC clone witch is what allowed MS to break with IBM, team with Intel and conquer the world. Apple where simply total control freaks...

Except there was no near-total destruction of the Roman empire. It's survived in the east for 1000 more years, and even for a while it reconquered some parts of the former western empire. The fall of the western roman empire's legacy took more then 200 years since the assassination of the...

Also DW:IW was the probably worst sequel of a great game ever made. Almost every thing I liked about the game-play was eliminated.

It's not the plausibility that's the issue, if somehow humans could have survived a nuclear war (witch we wouldn't) in witch the nuclear winter never happened and neither the post-radiation "green invasion", it's spirit of empty-ness, isolation, break-down, last of the survivors witch Fallout...

Problem was that Fallout 1/2 was about a lot stupid trial-error with the SPECIAL stats, the traits and the perks, until you realized to get the power armor + gauss rifle/alien blaster, maybe even the holy hand grenade, and then you're a god with 6 feet on one toe witch the blind and dumb...

Valid points, but there are some that need mentioning. Fallout 2 suffered from a lack of direction, it seems like it didn't knew if it was a Fallout game or a GTA game. For most part it felt like GTA with a Fallout wallpaper on. The original spirit of the Fallout series was supposed to be...

So where is the real role playing in King's Bounty ?! As in choices and their consequences, interaction, influence ?! It seem like another party turned base adventure game.

What the hell does leveling up has to do with role playing ?! It's already pretty dumb-ed down, maybe we should put an arrow and and floating colored circles like in GTA games. 1] More unique and intersting NPCs would have been very nice, if that's what he's talking about. But don't...

- fully destroyable environment (Red Faction: Guerrilla style) - kill-able children (yeah I know mods) - cover system - Thief series like looting and sneaking - more and better dialogs/voice acting - improved path-finding - more AI like the Enclave (officers) (that to say...

Regarding Mass Effect, you do have valid points but: - combat pausing is possible on the PC version not the console one; furthermore except for Bethesda games and a few others like System Shock II and Deus Ex many/most crpgs/wrpgs (of old times at least) had some sort of pausing. ( Combat...

Leveling up isn't an RPG element, it's a electronic dungeon crawler relic. Honestly I think is should be put to green pastures. RPG elements are choices, their consequences and the interaction. Even the great cRPGs where and very limited in rpg elements. Let me see: Planescape...
