you could try a ys or tales game but the worlds/stories are generally not exactly engrossing.

an 'actiony combat system' automatically makes a game not an rpg

nothing comes to mind, but care to name some actiony RPGs you've liked before?

i watched a buddy of mine play a fair amount of it. It's pretty cool and one of the only reasons I'd want a 360

why

wait what the gently caress

Pro Target

because the defining trait of an RPG is that you play a character and that the character's performance is dependent on Character Skill rather than Player Skill

Pro Target

id go so far as to say that in order ot be a 'true' rpg you cant have any realtime combat whatsoever

Scaly Haylie

what do you call the tales games, kingdom hearts, diablo, secret of mana, E.V.O.: search for eden, spike mcfang, crystalis, secret of mana, the elder scrolls, ys, king's field, deus ex, fable, odin sphere

the list goes on!

None of them are true RPGs

you're a 'true' retard

Pro Target

Yeah it makes a lot of sense that your frail wizard who spent 100 years studying books in a library like an idiot is now a master swordsman because you can manipulate a controller properly inr eal life

Pro Target

The games you listed are all 'action rpgs', which are in actuality an entirely different genre

GEExCEE

if it has swords and wizards it.s close enough, for me

Pro Target

have you played souls

GEExCEE

I have dark souls but the controls are all messed up on my computer

messed up like how

GEExCEE

it's been so long sinbce I.vr tried to play that I dont remember

Pro Target

well if you can make it work i highly recommend it!

pro target did you ever play shadow tower abyss on ps2.....it's one of three japan region games I've ever tried to play

Pro Target

yeah I played it and also the original shadow tower

Pro Target

abyss is the most accessible kings-field-esque game unless you count eternal ring (which doesnt really have the same atmosphere), despite never having been officially translated

Pro Target

its aesthetically inferior to the original shadow tower though, but you cant really blame it since the original shadow tower is possibly the best game aesthetic ever created

ron color
cool I got abyss as a present for two friends who introduced me to KF, only got to play a little. Someone kept my copy of eternal ring but that's ok, I wish there were more every hit replenishes magic games

i'm not a fan of games that require me to train my hands at 10x gravity in the hyperbolic time chamber for eighty years before i can make my character do what I want him/her to do

it gives fighting games a pretty big barrier to entry which is not a good thing
