the [ms] rpg thread...

[anonin]

I'm a HUGE rpg fan, nothing like sitting back and nerding out over your quest for hours. The following rpgs i have completed:

Star Ocean (the second story)
Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy X-2
Xenosaga
Xenogears
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross

I've also played pretty much every rpg out there, so what rpgs are you guys into?

also if you need help on any of the ones i mentioned above, feel free to ask me.

and if you want to discuss any rpgs feel free to do so

i'm playing knights of the old republic right now. i hate star wars, but the game is pretty fun. i like the open ended ones, not the final fantasy nonsense.

Re: the [ms] rpg thread...

if you want open ended. play oblivion. seriously. there is a reason it is getting the best reviews ever, and if you have 360 everyone on your list is playing it. fucking sick game, so in depth, plenty of action, do whatever you want, or dont , but the game itself draws you in.

i.e. if you were to let your game sit for an hour, you would come back to someone giving talking to you asking for help with something. you could help them, you could find what they need and keep it or ignore them. and the plot lines in the side stories are sick the thieves guild alone accounts for about 10 hours of play.

Re: the [ms] rpg thread...

open ended rpgs are cool, but my chief complaint about them is they are usually in first person. I CANNOT STAND FIRST PERSON RPGS, that shit gives me a headache. does anyone else have this problem?

Re: the [ms] rpg thread...

I am currently involved with Runescape. Its a somewhat cheesy Java based RPG, but I can play it at work and thats what counts most. I never really liked RPG, unless you can count GTA:SA as a role playing game, but I am kinda liking this so far.

Anyone else play? (you can find it on www.miniclip.com)

In college, a guy in my fraternity, on a full ride from Thialand, flunked out becuase he got so engrossed in everquest he stopped going to class. He would lock him self in his room, smoke cigarettes and play for 48 hours straight and then sleep for 12. Good times.

Re: the [ms] rpg thread...

Tom was just telling me about oblivion yesterday and how he's sucked into the Game. He sent me several screen shots to show what his Dual SLI 7800 nvidia's were pulling and the resolution was nothing short of numbing.

Re: the [ms] rpg thread...

I'm playing OBLIVION as well. Great game, nice graphics, but I too fall into the "i suck at it" I'm level 5, and have decent armor/weapons and above average skills. For whatever reason I can't seem to put out damage against enemies. Goblins take forever to kill even when I do a sneak attack for the bonus. I comes to the point that each engagement lasts forever and I get almost no loot out of them. There seems to be a lack of equipment to purchase as well. Everywhere I go, I see the same crap weapons, iron, steel.... nothing "better" Just some complaints. Everything else is great.

That's because the Game uses a new system of level-scaling. When you get better, the enemies get better as well. Also, the weapons and armor you find are depending on your level and grow with you. This level-scaling stops though once you have reached Level 20-25 and the enemies become way easier to defeat. Until you reached this point, I can only advice to turn the difficulty level slightly to the left before you bite your lips.

Re: the [ms] rpg thread...

I haven't played any RPGs in a while... now that I live alone I should probably start so I don't end up drinking my money away

hahah, yea I did read about the level-scaling. I also forgot about that difficulty slide bar. I recall moving it to the right a good 25%, LOL i'm such a newb.
