suibhne said:Ebon, it was a parody. If it makes you feel better, think of it as skewering Casey's puerile PR rather than the game itself; after all, Bio has done itself no service by employing such a hyperbolic huckster.
As for turn-based stuff...first you said turn-based games are dead, and someone called you on that; then you excepted turn-based real-time strategy games, and someone called you on that; then you said that JRPGs don't count as turn-based RPGs, which I won't even bother calling you on. (Oblivion isn't an RPG, either - nor, probably, is Mass Effect. As far as the market is concerned, tho, most "RPGs" are turn-based.)
Actually this is the General RPG discussion forum so I assumed that what I stated would be taken as a discussion on RPG games.
Further if you read my original full statement:
Turn based games are dead. Simple as that. Release a turn based RPG and it will flop. That's the reality. You can't do it.
That whole ending part was completely ingored so I added it to the start.
EDIT: And what modern turnbased RPG can you think of that has been released by a major label? Sure their are indie titles but I can't think of any (at least any that weren't a flop).
