It's too big for me to translate it by myself, but there's a small group of volunteers that began translating some articles into blog posts... it all depends on how they progress.

No amount of walls of text will change the core of the issue, which I've been pointing out from the start: This argument which you're so proud of is 100% subjective. It's all based on YOUR OPINION, thus it's fucking useless. Yeah, I can look at the "full package", but I can come to a different...

This: And this: Are not the same thing. Is not that I don't know "how you express yourself", is that you're moving goalposts and have zero consistency. As Arnust points above, stats matter in Borderlands - your level, your gun, your skill level with said gun, your available skills, etc. So...

Oh FFS Risewild, if you want to get your points across you should at least write them in a way I don't feel like I'm spending a significant chunk of my life reading it. I can't believe I read all that... I'm not gonna rebate that wall of text point by point, because the core of the issue that...

There's so many exceptions, I think it's a case-by-case thing. In the context of the book, I added a few games based on their historical importance or because they helped show what was happening at the time. King's Quest 8, for example, is a crappy game and have few RPG elements, but it is a...

Of course people can criticize the book and have a different opinion, I'm just showing the logic behind my choices. The book is under creative commons, you can even cut out all the "non-RPGs" and make the "TR00 RPG BOOK" if you wish (as long as you credit the authors and don't sell it, obviously).

Indeed, what a lot of people forget is that tabletop RPGs aren't all identical either. You can be dungeon-crawling and rolling dies at monsters or just LARPing vampires in a party. Some people don't even use dice-rolls. And of course this leads to different CRPG designs as well. I think no one...

And yet I spent 4 years making a book on CRPGs which doesn't feature Pokémon... sounds legit. WUT? First of all, the book is out - for free - including the project files if you want to print it yourself. There's no "donate" button. And all the profits from the hardcover version (if I manage to...

No, but add in choices in both character progression/playstyle and quests/factions and you have plently of role-playing opportunities. That's what separates STALKER from other games.

I recently wrote a Gamasutra article on the many definitions of CRPGs and why it's so hard to get into common grounds... The gist of it is that different types of players have different definitions: Dice-Rollers: RPGs are driven by character skill! (muh stats!) Role-Players: RPGs are driven by...

Thanks for the praise! And if anyone wants to help, we sure could use some short reviews on older RPGs. :)

I was suprised when i discovered that Gauss Weapons are "almost" a reality.....disturbing...
