"Recently I have been thinking about what type of characters I make in videogames whenever the character creation option is available. It all started on some video game forum where I posted the topic “do you ever play as the opposite sex?”" - JPS
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
I love RPGS but the good ones seem few and far between.
i always end up playing as a female character. partly because i'm a guy, i already know what thats like. the other part is purely aesthetic, i'd rather stare at a well-rendered female ass for 20 hours.
biowares games have spoiled me for all other rpgs. i love "choice" in games, i like being able to inject my own mentality into the game. no offense to jrpgs but if i had to play another one i'd puke. i've had my fill of trite characters emo-ing at each other during a tightly linear, generic narrative. it's not like the plots are so good that playing as a defined character is a treat. it's narrow,limiting and stifling.
i love wrpgs but always play as the male character since i am one in real life...
Only two rpg's I played this gen that were worth playing are Oblivion and Demon's souls. Everything else out so far has been nothing but disappointment after disappointment.
Too bad western developers can`t make human-like characters with human-like emotions and charisma.
If anyone tries to bring mass effect forward I pity them.
