Best RPG on PC?


Anubis

Warcraft is crap, Diablo is stupid, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is the fucking best!

My point being it's not reasonable to compare completely different games and it sure is dumb to claim that one beats the other hands down.

Is Assassin's Creed RPG? always considered it pure action. unless they changed smth in brotherhood haven't played that.

Probably depends on how people defy a role-playing video-game. For me it's the game where you can choose or partially change the playable character so that it suits your personality more.

RPG is playing a role. Since you're playing the role of Ezio (or Altair, if you're playing the older ones), then it's an RPG. Think of it like this: Fallout 3 and New Vegas are FPS, but you're playing the role inside the game, so it's still an RPG. So I guess it's like an...actionrpg. ARPG, or something.

then every second game is rpg? i still think the possibility to affect the playing character and change him defies an rpg. prince of persia and assassins creed are great actions but not rpgs since you have minimal influence on ezio or prince.

yeah, RPG's were originally designed so you could create your own character, name him and guide him through his quest, deciding several important factors in the way, that define him/her as a person.

is he nice to helpless old women? is he a drinker? is he a thug? is he a thief? does he like sushi etcetera etcetera.

however, when the newer games came out with cut-scenes, they realised that they couldn't allow people the luxury of naming characters anymore.

that is why Kingdom Hearts is an action RPG, because even though you cant name him, you have to guide him through his quest and your actions change things, such as the side-quests and extra battles involving Sephiroth, Simba and Terra's armor.

If you're really that bent out of shape because I mentioned AC, I'll remove it.

I couldn't care less what you mention or remove if you cant keep up a normal conversation without getting too emotional.

I'm not getting emotional... I'm sorry if it seems like it. Me mentioning it just seems to have touched a nerve on your end. I figured removing it would be nicer. I'm sorry for trying to make things better.

damn it, i'm not trying to repress your opinion or make you give in, i was just surprised why AC is considered a roleplaying game all of a sudden. if you dont agree with me then just keep your views, no need to make things nicer or anything.
