The problem is that RPG is such an all-inclusive term. It includes stuff like Final Fantasy, but also stuff like The Elder Scrolls. Still, I think my favorite RPG would have to be Mother 3.
Don't fool yourself. EVERY game does something wrong.The Madman said:I've said it before and I'll say it again: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
It just does nothing wrong. Great tactical DnD combat, excellent story, amazing soundtrack, crisp 2D visuals and high-resolution artwork, fantastic cast of characters including an extremely memorable villain, an amazing array of mods from an active and imaginative mod-community, and enough replayability to have someone still discovering new things years after the game has been released.
Other RPG I've played might do one or two things better, but no other that I've played it quite so cohesive a product overall. Planescape: Torment for example has the better story, but in terms of gameplay and presentation lags behind while a game like Temple of Elemental Evil I might feel has better tactical DnD gameplay, but falls behind in terms of story and narrative.
Baldur's Gate 2 meanwhile is just the complete deal. I love it!
I agree with this, nothing is perfect. I think it would be more appropriate to rephrase that to something more along the lines of: "It's the closest game to perfect in my opinion that I've ever played."Athinira said:Don't fool yourself. EVERY game does something wrong.
If you think a game does nothing wrong, then you're a fanboy. Plain and simple.
You can actually hold the button down while attacking an enemy instead of mashing it. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the mouse. I've gotten pretty mad at friends of mine for abusing the mouse like that.Anthraxus said:CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK
They are quite easy once you know the tricks and weaknesses of the mages.Zeckt said:I can't agree with Baldur's gate 2 simply because those mage battles still give me nightmares, and during my awake hours whenever I think about it I shudder in a mix of terror and revulsion.
BG Combat WAS turnbased my man. It used the turn system of the AD&D2 system. The game was realtime, but the combat system was turnbased.Anthraxus said:Although i do like the BG games, their weaknesses were - no real choices and consequences and the RtwP combat. They would of been SO MUCH better if they were turn based, like ToEE.
Nah man, KotOR 1 all the way!ms_sunlight said:If I had to choose, I'd go for Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords.
Today.
Tomorrow I might choose something different.
