RPG's are for losers. No really? Especially those extra long and boring ones that just keep on repeating and repeating. Walk, battle, talk; walk, battle, talk; more walk, more battle, more talk. Wow. It's blowing me away just thinking about it. The whole concept of RPG's is so exciting. As the name applies, you must PRETEND you are some sorta goddamn hero born just to save the world.

Most of the time that hero tends to be either some young sexy pimp... I mean prince; or a strong, handsome, manly bum. Hmmm... doesn't that sound like a certain kind of 1 hour long movie (hehe, there ain't many kinds of 1 hour long movies are there...)? Or is it just me. (read: just me).

Some peeps just race through the game and yap bout how many hours it took them and such. But hey, RPG's ain't exactly a race. Know why? Cuz if it is, it just won't freaking sell because of they low replay value. Who's gonna beat FF7 or XenoGear like 10 times? Well, some peeps certainly will, and I really believe they should be locked away. Far far far away. On the other hand, games like NBA Live or Fifa are way shorter, but have a far higher replay value. And most important of all, since most (obviously except Everquest) RPGs are single player games, you cannot directly give your buddies a nice and hard spanking.

Trust me, nothing beats a little (actually, a lot=) good old trash talking after a hard fought (read: as long as you win) death match. Winning cleanly is another matter.

Yes, you are definitely right. I am not a big RPG fan--if I am a RPG fan at all. Maybe it's in my genes, maybe I just don't got what it takes to play a RPG (it's blowing me away...). OR maybe RPG's just suck=) They're just too damn long, too damn much talking, too damn much walking, and too damn many levels. Ain't I impatient? Heheh...

PS Just for the record, I did beat a RPG... and only one. Guess what? It's Dragon Quest I... the SNES version. It only took me around 3 or 4 years. Serious. I couldn't find the pass to get the rain stone to make the rainbow bridge after I played the game for a week or so. Forgot bout it. Finally found the pass and the stone 3 years later after I read a guide. Too fast for you hey?

Hey

What's up with this place these days? Freddomonster or whoever he is hasn't spammed at all!

He's just a new guy looking to talk about games unlike many others in these forums. Why is it because his name is red that many would rather argue then actually talk and discuss like these forums are meant to be about.

Give the guy a chance.

If you want an example of spamming why don't you go to the Sony forum and see Pauleman's thread called 'PS2 case'. It contains simply one word; which he then quoted and added nothing! Don't accuse me of something that I am clearly not. I believe I quote GasMask when I say..........

Yea 1/2 that was really harsh. Just yesterday you were a newbie. Don't think that when you get to wear this Purple Coat you get special power. You don't.

He wasn't spamming the forums, if you don't agree with what he's saying at least try to put up a decent argument, just cause he's a JAT doesn't means he has to put up with this kind of crap.

I am not spamming at all. Could you stop making fun of me because I am a Just Arrived bloke (even though I should be a newbie - not updated today for some reason). Spamming is where you speak in txt tlk and post topics compiling of a sentence. My thread which I started was not spamming at al. I know what I am talking about as I was a member on www.gamesasylum.com for a long time. Why are you so hostile to me when all I do is try to discuss topics with other people and start some interesting threads that will interest people in reading. Normally I write posts just to start a discussion on the topic; rarely do I actually input my own thoughts into a topic at the beginning- only to input them towards the end. Consequently, I am not spamming at all, merely displaying my case and defending myself. If this is because of the 'sandcart' thing then be assured that I meant no hostility towards you at any stage. I was just helping Badgerman to further his enjoyment of GTA3.
Thank You,
and that is NOT spamming.

I was saying that everyone plays RPG's not just beardy types which is what RastaBillySkank said. And I loathe Army Men - I'd rather play Tony Hawks anytime.

Oh dear, FreddoMonster, you can't just go around here dissing everything in your path. RPGs are not for beardy types, I don't have a beard. The beauty of RPGs is that they TELL A STORY, and a story which is often much better than other games. I suppose you are an Army Men fan. Get out of my sight...
