Well Wizardry and a few old D&D RPGs are for consoles...but seriously, western RPGs are more at home on the PC and thats the way it was meant to be. Jade Empire is going to be on XBOX.

There's no such thing as teaching too much.

L.S.D. is right, please don't Spam here. Atleast not yet. You are new so I'll just let you off with a warning. If you must, you should post that kind of stuff in the Conversation thread which is pinned here. Bad things happen to those who spam outside of Spam.

Garoup is Garou Prototype. It was the first release of Garou and was somewhat incomplete. It's also a lot easier than the proper dump.

The team is dead man! THEY'RE ALL DEAD! And I couldn't save them! I was helpless and I watched them die. But seriously, if the servers aren't back up by the end of this week I'm disbanding Team 1Emulation.

[shameless plug]A topic was started at 2Emu about how Japanese mothers perform fellatio on their children to get them to do better in school. [/shameless plug]

And this statement is based on what? Your undying love for japanese video games? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, the fact that the japense econemy is high, the school's are great to learn what I love, and and the love for video games is just a add-on to the wonderfull country, and who here disagress with me that the US sucks? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Economy high? The Japanese economy isn't doing so hot, it has some nice exports but they're going through a recession. You wouldn't survive a day in their schools. I disagree with some of the US policies but the country in no means sucks.

And this statement is based on what? Your undying love for japanese video games? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That has to be the only explanation. That statement was beyond stupid. But I've heard about this racism a lot. What suprises me is how widespread it actually is.

If CELL is as hard to develop for as was Emotion Engine then forget about seeing really awesome crap for a while. You'll see basically what other consoles will provide.

Here's a neat article about fan subbing groups: http://news.com.com/Anxious+times+in+the+c...ubj=news.1026.5

/me flies back THE PAIN!! But yeah, those two words put me back in place when I start thinking this CELL could actually be THAT revolutionary. But you have to admit for being 300 mhz, the PS2 processor is quite advanced.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what Bethesda does with Fallout. I kind of wished that either Troika or Obsidian got it since they have great Fallout experience. I just hope Bethesda leaves the Fallout framework alone (isometric, SPECIAL system, and perks) and just adds some extra stuff. It's going to be cool to see Fallout with some of the technology that's being used in the new Elder Scrolls game. But Troika is working on their own post apocalyptic RPG right now so that's good. There were rumors going around that Troika was disbanded but we'll know sometime this month whether it's true or not.

There's more to it than just clock speeds. Memory transfer is also a very big aspect of it.

Bah humbug. Well, different strokes for different folks. I did like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana a lot though.

You should take a notebook and pen and write stuff. Just write anything that comes to your mind, you may like it.

Don't speak such horrible things...it scares me.

I'm waiting for The New Yankee Workshop to do a show on arcade cab building.

According to this there are no cheats: http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/strider2 Go to the bottom. I don't know if that's still true though.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. But damn, I still can't access the site. And I don't see anyone elses Whatpulse sigs anymore. It must be a giant conspiracy against me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So let me get this straight: What Pulse doesn't work and you're all bitchy because being there doesn't really contribute to anything anymore? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So let me get this straight: You are unable to differentiate between bitching and me light-heartedly talking about our WhatPulse team (it is useless, that's always been known) situation? Please show me where I'm being a biatch. As team leader is bringing the current state of our Whatpulse team being bitchy? I suggest you learn what being bitchy means before you claim someone is being bitchy. For instance, RIGHT NOW I'm being bitchy. See, there's a big flocking difference.

Diablo (and Dungeon Siege...god that game is boring all you have to do is click once and the game plays out for you) is iffy ground. I consider it a hack and slash because it lacks much of the character interaction (besides killing) I like in regular RPGs. But I can see how it is characterized as one and wouldn't argue too much about it. It's fun as hell so that's all that matters.

I wonder if the cardinals have people lined up as potential successors. But I heard on the radio he was doing well and never loss consciousness.

If you read that post then you'd know the first part of it has not been posted here since I read it first yesterday at Slashdot. It's some interesting stuff, it's nice to see Quantum computer mechanics actually come close to being a commerical product. It may be a while but it's always good. And the CELL will be very interesting too, can't wait to see how it affects the entire industry (not just PS3).

I hate Japanese RPGs with a passion. I'm sorry but to me they just suck, I get bored of them in less than an hour. I don't even consider them role-playing games (I have a real D&D and such mindset so that'll explain everything) because you don't create the role that you play and there usually aren't multiple ways to approach a situation. They give you some faggot character with stupid hair and a stupid name with a gigantic head to walk around and talk to generic people (and almost never multiple conversation paths) and participate in repetative battles with the same slime goo over 100 times to level up. Not to mention I hate the universes they are set in. But my hate for Japanese RPGs (especially Final Fantasy...GOD I HATE FINAL FANTASY!!!!!) is not the issue here. I stopped playing them since the SNES days, if things have changed (which I doubt they have) then I'll reconsider. I'm sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. Ok, here are the good American RPGs: - Akalabeth (predecessor to Ultima) - Ultima series (except Online and Ultima IX. I am shocked no one here mentioned them...you bunch of fags ) - The Bard's Tale (the old ones...not the new one) - Wizardy (very underrated but good) - Elder Scroll series (someone only mentioned Morrowind...the other two are awesome too) - Wasteland (the predecessor to Fallout which is the greatest RPG EVER) - Might and Magic - Any of the Dungeons and Dragons games by SSI like Eye of the Beholder and Pool of Radiance - Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 - Neverwinter Nights - Planescape: Torment - Temple of Elemental Evil - Arcanum (sooo long, I haven't beaten it) - Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 - Shadowrun - System Shock 1 and 2 (yes, they are more RPG than FPS so shove it) - Deus Ex 1 ONLY! Deus Ex: IW was a consolized piece of crap. (see above) - Freedom Force - Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (Redemption was crap) - and finally the best of the best...FALLOUT 1 and 2. As you can see I play a lot of PC RPGs. It's my second favorite genre. To me RPGs are games where you create your character from scratch and then play the game in a style you like. American RPGs have that kind of gameplay style with character creation and stats with several conversation paths and multiple ways to achieve a goal. And Fable isn't technically American, it's British but it's better to split RPGs into to categories, Eastern and Western.

I don't suggest you play that in the living room. I haven'tplayed it but I know they get nude.

Yes, most of the hacks are just patches and use the original roms as parents. If you want a semi decent hack, get KOF 2004 Special Edition. The gameplay is exactly like KOF2002 (it's based off that) but it has some neat character palates and backgrounds.
