Riot.EXE Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 ...My next question is for RPG's... ...What, do you think, makes the RPG experience better for the player? The story, the battle system, or the cutscenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 The first two are important to an RPG, but you ARE playing a role of a character through a plot and story, thus an RPG without a good story is not a very good RPG. HOWEVER, it also depends on the type of RPG. Hack 'n Slash RPG's don't require a good story, but if they lack in the battle system department they won't go anywhere and will suck. As for cutscenes, flock cut scenes........they have nothing to do with the game, they just add a little flavour (or if overused, annoy the crap out of you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 an rpg in general gives me a bad experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 good story first. if it's not good I am not gonna suffer through all those random battles. and since there are so many random battles the battle system better be damn good too. or it's just not worth it. Cutscenes are just flavor. the same plot points could be handled with out them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I don't play many RPGs and if I do its PC ones. So I say its the story and battle system. But that's for any RPG. And I like RPGs where I can customize my character's stats and appearance instead of just giving them a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I like RPGs because of the storyline. However, every aspect of the game contributes to the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 The best RPG series is by far FINAL FANTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotica Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 The best RPG ever is Planescape: Torment. The RPG experience is all about story. That is their cornerstone. I honestly think that games that call themselves RPGs but don't have a decent story aren't really RPGs at all. They are imposters. Like Icewind Dale. *yuck* Although I do enjoy Diablo 2 alot...but I don't think it's an RPG. It's an action game with lots of RPG elements.

Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 No, the best RPG is Final Fantasy; it has the best story no matter whatnumber. Also Diablo is just a hack&slash game which tends to becomeextremely repetitive...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotica Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I don't see what's so good about FF either. Planescape: Torment had the most creative, imaginative, poignant and sublime story ever. Oh, and it had Annah and Fall-From-Grace, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
