All of the RPGs mentioned in this thread have come out in the US, or will do so. There are some excellent games being made in Europe these days; if you're missing em, you're missing out.flamechamp23 wrote...

I think Bioware's marketing department is taking serious RPG fans a little for granted, they probably think we'll buy the game anyway. So they've decided to focus on trying to get new consumers with their advertising.Srikandi715 wrote...
I know quite a few serious gamers, actually, who are already put off by the fact that the marketing has focused so heavily on boobs and blood. Not because they're prudes, but because they're grownups, and that focus makes it look like the game was designed for angry horny boys

Borderlands is an FPS first and foremost. It would be a travesty if it won any RPG awards. I think RPG of the Year comes down to Demon's Soul or DAO.

They might be right, but i'll agree it can be slightly annoying.
I've read reviews about Divinity 2, and they seem promising, since the biggest flaw about the game according to the French version of PC Gamer is too high difficulty, which is no flaw imho
Plus you seem to get to play as a dragon after a while.
On the other hand, they did give DA: O 95% compared to Divinity 2's 85% and Risen's 88%. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
What makes an RPG, imho, is the fact that you are able to roleplay a character through having choices that affect the story and the world around you. It's possible to do so with combat-heavy stuff, i suppose, but it comes through most easily in a story-heavy game.soteria wrote...
Is it not possible to role play with shooter-like action? The combat isn't RP'd, but then, where are you going to draw the line for combat being role-play or not? I've played games where combat was *really* RP, as in, you had to describe exactly what you were doing as a story. None of this newfangled "stat" stuff where the combat has nothing to do with RP. So... BG2 isn't an RPG!

Not that flamechump will take any notice of a European review of course. But I do.
That is probably one of the most ingorant things I've ever read.flamechamp23 wrote...
