Incline Poll: Western Blobbers After 2000 That You Played

[Lady_Error]

Thanks IncendiaryDevice for starting the other vote thread. I think we can have many more of those.

So in this poll, please choose which Western blobbers you played that were released after 2000.

I've included a few RPG's made in Japan that have Westernized graphics.

Hybrids such as Lords of Xulima or Realms of Arkania HD were NOT included.

How is Elminage Gothic western blobber nigga
"Westernized graphics" doesn't count

 

[Lady_Error]

Technically, Dark Spire was also made in Japan but is a Western-style RPG.

 

[undecaf]

Hybrids such as Lords of Xulima

Just out of curiosity... What kind of "hybrid" is Xulima? Or do you just mean the poll's specifically for "first person" blobbers.

 

[Dorateen]

What is Legacy? That must be something different from MMX: Legacy.

edit: Writ of Fate added.

At the very least you could call them wizardry-inspired or something similar.

If that's the case, then you can add all Wizardry clones (Wiz Gaiden and Wiz Empire 1&2) as well because that kind of game mostly is made in Japan.

Yeah, Xulima is really one of its kind.

So if 'western grafikz' count then why isn't Stranger of Sword City here? You certainly have a choice of 'western' character assets there.

There's a case to be made that first person exploration is essential to a "blobber", the designation reserved for the style with a party that moves as one amorphous blob. Blobber combat alone doesn't cut it, so that's why Xulima is out.

For all your animu needs: http://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?forums/jrpg-weeaboo-discussion.60/

Create a JRPG poll there, if you want.

I wanted a full Western blobber poll
-_-

There are also a couple of others (which I didn't play though):

- The Legend of Candlewind: Nights & Candles
- The Deep Paths
- Dungeon Kingdom: Sign of the Moon
- The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians

 

[Alkarl]

Elminage Gothic counts. It's Western-style and pretty true to its roots. Also, post 2000 there are a bunch of Jap-Wizardrys on ps2 and at least one on ps3. Not to mention EO series and Elminage: Original.

For added scorn:
Xulima isn't a blobber. It's a mess.

 

[Snorkack]

But first we need to define what a blobber is.

No, really! Because by most definitions I can think of, The Quest isn't one (-> just one character).

^ Have you not realized Lady Error is dumb.

 

[Snorkack]

So far I only noticed her quite oversensitive rear when it comes to ratings.

Added, as well as these:

- Might & Magic 9
- Stranger in a Strange City
- Frayed Knights

That's what it is. JRPG animu is where we draw the line, as per the subforum division into WRPG's and JRPG's.

Also, post 2000 there are a bunch of Jap-Wizardrys on ps2 and at least one on ps3. Not to mention EO series and Elminage: Original.

From what I 've seen, all of those Japanese Wizardries have animu graphics, just as Etryan Odyssee.

Because by most definitions I can think of, The Quest isn't one (-> just one character).

Just ignore it then. It's close enough to a TB blobber to count, just like Dungeon Hack had Eye of the Beholder gameplay with just one character.

No, the actual division is mostly based on made in Japan (Asia) / not made in Japan (Asia) disitincion.

Because by most definitions I can think of, The Quest isn't one (-> just one character).

Just ignore it then. It's close enough to a TB blobber to count, just like Dungeon Hack had Eye of the Beholder gameplay with just one character.

What an enlightened approach. I cannot agree more... :D
Let's see:
Temple of Elemental Evil is just like Eye of the Beholder gameplay - just not real time and not first person.
Or wait, i have a better one... Gothic series, it is even first person and real time - almost exactly like EoTB "just one character".

Making fun aside, you haven't tought out this thread before making it, am i right ? You just making shit up on the run as people question you.

 

[hivemind]

sorry, but as my emotional age is above 14 and my IQ above 120 I do not play the blobber genre

 

[Excidium II]

What exactly is the objective of this thread anyway? Are you going to pick the top blobber of the 2000s based on the 40 or so users that will vote?

Also please keep adding more games after people already voted so it becomes even less representative.

 

[hivemind]

I think it's meant to identify and later shame people who play blobbers
