The Witcher fans should check it out: the two games are alike, except VS has better combat and better crafting. In fact, I'd really like to see another game that revolved so much around weapon crafting.

Hell Yeah! Who cares about character stats determining the outcome of his actions!? I want C&C, I mean, it's only RPG when you can choose what the character will say like in these adventures games, amirite?

Stats determining actions isn't exclusive or unique to the RPG genre.

Side note:

if you get Tactics Ogre for PSP you get promo code that allows you to buy Vagrant story for 3 euros.

Please stop quoting tennishero. There is a reason he is the 4th most ignored fucktard on the codex.

But what is an RPG? First we must define RPG before we know what is and isn't an RPG.

But first before we define what is an RPG, we must, beforehand, know what is a definition.

no, but being able to upgrade your stats and change the outcome is. it's pretty much what separated rpgs from strategy boardgames.

Before we do that we have to find out what is knowledge and how does it devlop in human brainz. But before we can do that we need to find out the meaning of life, everything else would be waste of time.

Should be easy enough.

But I explained why this is a bad RPG a couple of months ago and everyone agreed...

At the very least you gotta admit they stretched a 5 hour game into 40 by reusing content like fucking craaaaaazy

And the combat is terrible and broken in 5-6 ways

And you ahve to go through multiple menu layers to switch weapons in a game where the rules encourage you to switch weapons multiple times per room

And it looks like the Dark engine in bondage gear

I guess that was the same explanation so update your opinions bros
