DeadLocked said:My favourite RPG atm is Mass Effect series
I usually like medieval RPGs such as Fable etc. but oblivion failed to keep my interest.
Turn based RPGs are fun too but for some reason, on a console they just seem a bit overdone like they belong on a handheld or something
Dwarf Fortress or Nethack/SLASH'EM? X3Heran Bago said:Rougelike. It's all about a good dungeon.
I actually had a file where I listed out ideas for a great game (using FreeMind to show connections and relations) sort of like that, but I can't find it now, and that makes me sad.FAST6191 said:My "best" genre I have yet to see done (primarily as it would cost a fortune and tax hardware insanely).
Time/place does not really matter to me with the possible exception of steampunk
I will take the levels/dungeons and item/character complexity of a roguelike
I will take the 3d of most western RPGs, I do not get along that well
I will take the crafting of the most fiddly of MMORPGS (see FF11), if you could work a magic system along the same lines then I will not say no.
I will take the in game economy of the trade/space simulators (or indeed if it could be done a proper MMO game)
I will take the combat of a fighting game (maybe simplified a bit/without the 20 button combos) although if you want to give me a turn based option (a la might and magic or fallout 3 or perhaps more recent RPGs like Eternal Sonata) I will not say no.
I will take the story of 10 games and roll them into one. I suppose a mention of something like dungeon keeper or savage is worth it at this point- RTS options.
If you could pull it off on a decent set of controls (keyboard and mouse works but I assume we all see where the stuff like we are seeing on the consoles could be heading if it actually worked).
Do not get me wrong I have spent more hours than might be sensible to cop to outside these circles playing examples of all the subgenres and seen as games are well games I do not need a life alternative as my list seems to be shaping up to be and if you have an interesting set of mechanics (last one to really turn my head was resonance of fate) I will be there.
