|

I mean when Ultima started to become realtime i didnt agree, but thought its just one title. Today there is no RPG anymore with turn based battles (not those pausables, pseudo-tactic fights). I know there are a lot of console titles still with turn based combat, but the stories are so swallow and linear. I think the last tactical RPG on PC was Betrayal at Krondor, not sure though. I miss them. Who tells the developer what the consumers want?
We are the creators of Time, the victims of Time, and the killers of Time. Time is timeless. You are the clock.

Agreed, cant understand why there are sp few cRPG in the making today. Many of the best selling games of the past where cRPGs.... Very strange.
proekaan: Do you know a fairly new game, made by some russian developers, it should be something like Fallout... I dont remember the name any more :/

And i do agree more games like fallout, bg etc...
And more emphesis on story in all games, im not a brainless kid that wants to kill the same demon in 1000 diffrent ways.

I agree. I never played the Ultima series, but I love those old games like the Wizardry series and the Might & Magic games. I must have completed Bane of the cosmic forge like 15 times with different party combinations. I wish someone would do a game with similar game mechanics as those but with a bit better story and NPC interaction. That would be perfect.

Wow you guys think the exact opposite as me... action rpg ftw! Turn based rpg are complete shit, I never like final fantasy nor fallout nor baldur gates and shit like that.
Ultima Online combats were the best I ever played, it was soo strategic and fast with tons of spells. After that Zelda combats were cool but kinda different, Secret of Mana too. Gothic 2 were cool, still a bit too simple. Gothic 3 could have been if it were not bugged. Morrowind/Oblivion were nice try to do something different, but it got too simple and monsters had too much HP, only thing cool was the use skill/gain skill system (if it were not for multipliers).
Still I agree about Diablo/Sacred/Titan Quest... thoses are complete click feast and not really cool... kinda like WoW and every fucking mmorpg, you click the monster once and sometime press 1-2-3-4 to use items/spells when you are in shit... pretty gay.
