List of WASD-like control 3D RPG games (single player)

Why is "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series" marked in red btw? Does that mean you don't like it? Because seriously I can't understand how someone couldn't love this games. I mean you have a lightsaber and Jedi powers, common what's more badass than that. If there is one thing that could've improved Fable even more it's certainly Lightsabers and Jedipowers.

That would have been awesome! You could then have TWO sparkly quest trails -- a blue one for Light Side, and a red one for Dark Side! Excellent use of "innovation"!

Malachi you're a genius. This idea roxx0rz!!!1! We should consider to let Peter know about that.

And where those two trails would cross, you would get purple aka neutral one. THIS. IS. AWESOME!

yeah indeed no wonder why i bolded it's name That's one of the games that "marked" me and i WILL play it again later, just like all others i have put in bold. Don't forget to tell me more games with these type of controls that aren't on the list yet, that's why i made the post

I really really hope that you detected his sarcasm and were just riposting with sarcasm of your own. Otherwise I kindly suggest that you flee while you can, and that you'll probably have better luck finding similar-minded people at The Escapist.

Oh, and if that WAS a sarcastic riposte, then you'll fit in just fine. Don't have sexual relations with with Kaiserin or Scottish Martial Arts unless you're comfortable with a surprise penis (and really, what red-blooded male wouldn''t be pleased to find an unexpected extra penis in the bed? It isn't HER fault that you weren't more specific when suggesting you try anal sex!) and don't try to change Volourn's or Skyway's mind, regardless of how good your reasoning is.

loool ?? What are you talking about... that reply i did was to reply "Fable was innovashun incarnate, especially farting was a lot of fun and was sadly lacking from so-called oldschool RPGs. ( I mean how can you be oldschool if you can't even fart)" i don't see what that has to do to what you said... sorry but i didn't got what you mean, since i was replying the very first reply to this thread...

Dude, they're ganging up on you. While it was funny in the beginning, it is now apparent that you're posting in good faith and doing your very best to be civil and friendly. Which in turn makes it apparent that the most persistent "advisers" are fucking elitist assholes.

There, I said it. Go back to high-school dickwads.

Ok, this is going far too long now. I can't work out who is trolling who anymore. If the topic creator is still following the thread, I can only advise you to READ THE OTHER THREADS, and you'll see that people are just posting to mock you. Here's a quick summary: the general view here is that Fallout 1, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum, Vampire: Bloodlines, Ultima 5-7 and Wizardry 8 were great RPGs, with Deus Ex and System Shock 2 being great FPS-RPG hybrids. Fable, Oblivion and FO3 are considered some of the worst games ever made, are hated for dumbing down rpgs - which were once a tactical stat-driven game akin to table-top roleplaying games - into consolised shite with no challenge, meaningless stats, no real consequences for bad choices and (most of all) no tactical skill required. Knights of the Old Republic is hated because it started that downwards trend - e.g. reducing the size of the standard party from 6-8 characters down to 3 characters, making classes so generalised that you didn't need to strategically map out a party build, having 90% of the combat winnable by simply using autoattack and a couple of special abilities (compare that to Wizardry 8, or Jagged Alliance, where almost every fight presents a tactical challenge where you are pushed to carefully consider each and every move by your characters), being mostly filler combat and being much more linear than the PC rpgs that preceeded it.

They were just throwing in names like Crysis and Daikatana to mock the absurd industry trend of calling any shooter with token stats, or a choice of abilities, an RPG.

Trust me, the pathetic little choice about the dog in Fable does not mean the game had significant 'choices and consequences' - try playing the first Fallout to see what that means.

The problem is that they are now trying to design rpgs for people who don't like rpgs - so sure, most of the Bethesda tards would call Fallout 1 boring, or Vampire: bloodlines and Planescape: Torment too wordy (omg! I have to READ in a game???), but that's because they aren't the right target market for those games. It's as though they suddenly made all FPS games into sidescrolling platformers - sure that would attract a new market of platformer fans, and when the old FPS fans complained that there wasn't any shooting any more, the new fans would say 'but why does a FPS need to have shooting? That's boring and outdated'.

Hell, maybe I just fell for a not very elaborate troll account - I'm counting that as a 90% probability. But the 10% possibility that you were fucking serious is going to make me explode if I don't burst the topic:=(

Once this thread was a - successful - group effort at comedy.

But it seems there is always a Spielverderber.

There, I said it. Go back to high-school dickwads.

They're being assholes for mocking him for so long, but there's nothing elitist about knowing what kind of games you want to see, forming a community to support the development / revival / modding / discussion of those games and complaining that the genre you loved so much has been replaced by an entirely different genre of game. There's nothing elitist about pointing out that there was - and for some small studios still is - a great and fun genre of game that was called an rpg, that bears no resemblance and very little connection to the fps-inspired games that the term now refers to.

 

[Double Ogre]

Damn, you guys can't keep it subtle. This thread had great potential.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

This is why we can't have nice things.

As I said, it was funny in the beginning, now it's hurtful and they are assholes. I don't care how jaded they are, so am I.

Wanna burn Todd Howard on a stake, I'll bring a torch. Leave this guy alone already.

[dextermorgan]

No, Internet is there for you to re-live your high-school wannabe jock fantasies.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

You are a faggot.

 

[dextermorgan]

You suck at flaming. Try harder.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

dextermorgan - a man so brave that he just registered an alt so noone knows his identity - in his glorious and just quest to defend the weak from the evil emanations of humour and to bring retribution onto those who nefariously contributed to this thread, just ruined it for all of us. There's nothing more to see here, move along.

 

[dextermorgan]

Came out of lurking actually. And yeah, the fun is over now that there's no-one to gang up on. You can alt-tab back to cheerleader porn.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

There are no grade school cheerleaders, sadly

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Funny, before you entered the thread there were no offenses, no shit flinging, no cursing or swearing, no tubgirls or goatse, nothing of what is so abundant in other Codex threads. Only humor, sarcasm, irony. But that brings out the hulk in you, eh?

 

[dextermorgan]

Awesome reading comprehension is awesome.

[Intelligence]So, you were fighting the good fight before I came along?

Humor ended at page 3, afterward there was a bunch of no-lifers ganging up on the weak.

Mommy, mommy, bad man told me off.

You bet. Now fuck off.
