Do not apologize to these amoebas fellow intellectual!!! Your mind is simply working faster than your fingers!!! It is clear that rpgs have a very specific yet undefinable definition. What's that? There is no such thing as an oxymoron to an intellectual such as myself.!!!!

LOL thanks for giving me so much laugh with your posts. Define the RPG of yours in terms of DA2 mechanics.

dang yus't because my grammar sux how can i explain it to you that this is "Dragon efect 2" ? not "dragon age 2 the RPG?"
:unsure:
you know i will cry


What you are saying is that it is not an RPG to you. It is an RPG to me. RPGS all have different elements that make them RPGS and all these elements are important to some people and not others.

Some people like stats and tables.
Some people like roleplaying and never actually role a dice.
Some people consider anything where you play a role other than your self is role-playing.. go figure...
To some its NPC interaction
To some its your armor looking different. To some rpgers its only the stats of the armor the look never changes.
Some people swear by turn based and some by real time.

The list goes on forever my friend. And some of these are important to others while some are not.

So yes. You are right. This is not a RPG to you. 

And yes I am right. This is a RPG for me.

That is the most sense i've ever seen on these forums it's amazing some people don't realise that not everyone likes the same thing and that a RPG doesn't mean the same thing to everyone *sigh*


I just approach it like I try to approach problems or situations in real life. With common sense and trying to see things from other peoples points of view.

I find you cute. In any case, the definition of RPG changed drastically as it has been developed for generations. I think there is no universial definition of RPG. You know, JRPG are pretty different with what "Hardcore" RPG old fans insisting to be RPG. But JRPG is still a RPG. I still take the DA2 as one of the game that has a lot of RPG elements, because it still has moral choices, pc customizations, romances and etc.

Risky. They have a huge following with
Origins and they know that we most likely will buy it no matter what
they do. If they developed a new IP with no following with the crap
they're trying to pull now, they have a higher risk of flopping.


It couldn't possibly be because they legimately wanted to make improvements to the game based on feedback, but expand the world, while keeping some of the best aspects of Origins. ;)

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that English is not your first language. Nothing wrong with that at all. Just I never know what point you are making much less what you are saying.


He's trolling, or parodying certain posters... depending on your point of view. He's doing a less obvious version of this:

Two games, and we already have "every time".



Its not two games

Its ME to ME2

Its DAO to DA2

Its Ultima 1 -8  to ultima 9

Its gold box forgotten realms series  to Baulder's gate series

Its the trend for the last 25 years

RPGs get less complex, and more "action packed"

I bet if you looked at the use of Ritalin on a line chart it would directly line up with the Action RPG's popularity

Seriously, you sound like a douche...

It's about preference and you can't just insist that an RPG has to be a certain way.

You do understand he's joking, right?

While RPGs have changed, this is true. However we have dictacted that change. Maybe not me and you, but the consumers and creators have decided this was how it was going to change. Its not so black and white but thats the basis of it.

One can argue how cell phones and even the internet have ruined human interaction on a face to face basis but lets not argue that here. :)

Sequels change. They can't make the same game over and over again. It's too bad that you're not digging it, but many people are.

Come on, is that "every time" by any stretch of the imagination. What you say here is that it happens 1/8th of the time.

These arguments on what a RPG is or isn't always make for good conversations where people's views are swayed one way or the other without any arguing at all.

Anyways, I agree people have their different opinions of what an RPG is and isn't. However, if you strip the RPG down to its basic core by looking at the 'R' and 'P' in RPG, I think it's quite easy to come to a conclusion personally.

For me anyway.

As long as you're playing a character who can make decisions/choose dialog and affect the story's outcome, then you're basically playing a role. I don't personally need all of the stats etc., though I do like them.

Now we look at an RPG sub-genre that is the hack and slash one, there's not much chance for actually playing a role in those games (in a lot of them anyway). They have the stats covered though. I guess this is basically why it's a sub-genre.

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is that as you're allowed to play a role and influence things etc., then that's definitely nailed the 'RP' part of 'RPG'.

And to the OP, I only really have a four word answer for you as to why they decided to make a sequel:

Because they wanted to.

(There's nothing more to it than that and yes, it's a smart ass answer. But it's a correct answer.)

Golden comment. RPG means different things to different people. They are not facts, they're preferences. Deal with it~ :ph34r:

I really hate when developers take a beloved game and decide to make a sequel that feels like a cheap cashing in of the original.  This is one of those instances.

I mean why would you create a sequel with inferior graphics to the original?  What is the reasoning for that?  Why take a game with strong RPG elements, and make a sequel that plays out more like an action game?  It's like how Paramount tried to make Star Trek cool again by making Kirk a 20-something and skipping all the dialog that makes it a space opera.

When you try to "mainstream" a series that didn't start as mainstream, then you just lose the people who really loved the original; and the mainstream won't touch it, because they relate the sequel to the original game that they never considered playing.

Couldn't you have just made this game and given it a different title, with no lore references to Dragon Age?

If you're not willing to put in the time to make a sequel that lives up to its predecessor (and don't pretend this is an attempt to do just that), then please just move on to a different project.


Since when was Dragon Age not mainstream?

impressive! Thats a lot of  Languages and some of those have multiple dialects especially japanese. I can see how grammer would be confusing. And saracatic on the internet always translates hard.

Regardless its still funny to see you type. :D
