"American's can't understand complexity"...

[Antithesis]

In games!?

"What!? Fallout is the SAME THING! You fight the same enemies, collect the same items... There's no sense of exploring unknown territory or anything. No matter how much freedom the player has, that's all there is."



"Oblivion and Fallout fanatics are exponentially more annoying than any Final Fantasy fanatic."



"Hey foreigners: we find your first-person shooters boring as shit. What do you say to that?"



"When I see all the 'sniping' and corpse-desecrating 'teabagging' going on in US games, the thought of what what foreigners do when they get mad [in real life] freaks me out."



"I'm sorry, but the battle systems in foreign games are totally boring."



"Yeah, like Oblivion's. But I guess it isn't the main focus of that game."



"Japanese RPGs are created for the express purpose of letting one experience the blooming of their full powers from a total zero starting point. They're necessary for keeping public order in Japan."



"Okay, so give us some foreign RPGs that are more interesting than Japanese ones. I just don't find foreign RPGs interesting at all."



"Oblivion's okay, but foreign games lack subtlety. They lack detail, and the character design and stories are bad."



"Americans can't understand complexity so a lot of the best stuff doesn't get translated. Like Megami Tensei!"



"That bit about "The Road Less Travelled?" #7? That's a common complaint... of inexperienced gamers. Like, I felt that way when I was in grade school."



"So sorry, but I LIKE Japanese-style RPGs."



"The real problem with Japanese RPGs is that the storylines aren't written by pros, only gamers."



"Oblivion didn't fare that well here, and Japanese don't really get into real-time strategy games."



"I call 'cultural differences'!"



"Show me an American-made RPG that satisfactorily addresses all of these complaints."



"Do foreign companies even make RPGs anymore? The only games that come to mind are first-person shooter action games. If we followed this 'advice' to the letter they'd have us making Grand Theft Auto clones."

Good to know that the Slant trolls are upto the Western level.

IF YOU DIE IN THE GAME YOU DIE FOR REAL.

[Beckwin]

^cosigned

[Beckwin]

qalbert and skirkle are basically D&D player stereotypes

[Conrad]

You're making it too obvious becky

[Qalbert]

well in my case it's fairly accurate, minus the stereotypical over enthusiasm for being 'in character'

[Beckwin]

I can almost guarantee you two have cheetos, dew, and some shitty r.a. salvatore or Wheel of Time paperback on your desks.

[Conrad]

It isn't even funny with you trying so hard

[Qalbert]

Cup of water, plate with crumbs from a chicken sandwich, and Ender's Shadow, although technically it's on my tower, not the desk itself, and the plate is on a side table thingy

[Beckwin]

let's make peace here and enjoy some shitty, poorly controlled combat against generic woodland creatures and orcs in an Elder Scrolls game and pretend like the story is interesting too.

[Beckwin]

damn that Enders book has my prediction pretty damn close

[Colenzo]

beckfail, im so glad that I only have to read your shitty posts intermittently.

[Qalbert]

DnD, at least with the people I play it with is a lot more about hanging out than about a story

[Colenzo]

well yeah lol

[Colenzo]

god i used to watch my dad play DnD with his shitty boring friends when I was a kid
