Games That People Think You're Crazy For Not Liking

nope, but I'm a 100% sure, it doesn't come close to a table top RPG. just checked out some reviews, yea it looks like a great 3d person hack'n slash game, but that does NOT make it a ROLE playing game.

That alone just proved to me you did not read any reviews.

didn't read all of it indeed, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have to, but to humour you I will.

That's mainly because the dialogue is actually one of the best parts of Torment, since it's one of the few role-playing games to ever make good on the promise of letting you play your character however you prefer. Torment's dialogue often lets you choose to make promises, bluff, or play dumb; the game lets you perceive small details if your character is intelligent, understand philosophical implications if he's wise, and intimidate or charm if he's strong or charismatic. Your character's moral alignment and his affiliation with Sigil's different factions are openly flexible and have a noticeable impact on the course of the game.

See this all looks great, but when you read the deeper meaning it ends up at chosing between a limited number of answers or questions to ask.

It's nice that they incorporate intelligence, wisdom and charisma in the conversation and even alignment. But that still does not change the fact that you are very limited compared to a real ROLE playing game.

Actually, they had a lot of all of what you just said. They tried and suceeded.

yea well they'd better, since it was in the review.

Reviewers missed certain aspects of KOTOR II's gameplay... like the ability to turn the entire 'cast' into a Jedi.

never played KOTOR II played the first, again a nice game but not an RPG, is the second better?

My point was sometimes Reviewers miss things.

I know, I just wanted to know about the game, but I'll let it be, don't want to derail this thread any further

I actually felt that to be a negative point in it's favor.

Kingdom Hearts - Tried twice to get into this game, and both times it lost my interest fairly quickly. 😬

if i was going to be honest i only played this game because all my friends said it was hard, which turned out to be a total lie, the only hard thing in there is sephiroth, i thought the reaper was hard until i saw you could stop the lock, yeah that game was full of dissapointments

i played the first one and was hooked, but i coudn't find myself to even buy the second one... i donno what happened...lost interest after playing it...?

Kingdom Hearts II lost it's heart. No exploration whatsoever.

Kill the enemies. Watch the scene. Kill the enemies. Watch the scene.

That's basically the entire game...

Nope. The friggin treasure chests are right there in front of you.

It's like a very long hallway. You fight enemies and watch scenes all the way to the end....

KH2's fine if you want to know the rest of the story, but it really feels like less of an RPG and more like a hacknslash

final fantasy! 😱
