Role Playing Game Cliches

Lol yeah. I saw this a long time ago, but forgot about it. It's funny as hell. Yeah, a lot of it is true, hehe.
 
yo, those are freakin true for so many games.😀
 
LOL This list is awesome! I think my favorite had to be the Billy Lee Black rule about all RPG characters being against gun control, including holy, priest-types. 😀
 
Man, reading all of these have motivated me to want to PLAY an RPG. The only question is, which one? I've beaten most of the ones I own, except for maybe FFVII (Yes, I know! Shame on me, but my memory card kept erasing halfway through the game, causing me to not want to play anymore!), and Kingdom Hearts, or should I just go out and grab a new one...

You guys got any recommendations for a good RPG on the PS2?
 
Suikoden III, maybe? I just finished FFX2, but I'd only recommend it if you were a big fan of FFX -- it can get really tedious in spots. Currently I'm partway through Xenosaga and enjoying it so far, although it does take patience to sit through those extremely long cut-scenes.

As for the topic, I've seen the list before and it's pretty funny. Wish they'd update it, though.
 
The PS2 is great in that it can pick up and play old PS 1 games. Sometimes the best way to look forward is to look back and therefore I'd recommend some of the following (PS 1):

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Suikoden I & II
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete
Revelations: Persona
Xenogears

PS 2:
Xenosaga
Disgea: Hour of Darkness
FF X & X-2
Suikoden III
Sega Ages: Phantasy Star I
 
When I was stationed in 29 Palms, California, my roommate was playing Suikoden II or III. Probably II, on Playstation. All I remember about that game is that it had an absurd amount of characters in the story, like War and Peace, or something.

Also, I played FFX2 for a little while, and I have to say, I like Square games, and I like Enix games, but I don't think I could handle too many Square-Enix games. That's like peanut butter and hot sauce. I'm not sure I could endure FFX2. Maybe I'm being a little presumptuous, but the silliness reminded me of Jem and the Holograms meets Team Rocket from Pokemon.

Maybe I'll try Xenosaga. I liked Xenogears, and isn't that supposed to sort of be like its sequel, but released by another company? Xenogears used to have a lot of long sequences that didn't involve interactivity, as well. I like a lot of story, but I also like to be able to quickly get to a save point if I have to go somewhere.

I still need to play through Kingdom Hearts, but as I grow older, I don't seem to have as much patience with RPGs without using strategy guides, especially wandering around in circles looking for stuff. Perhaps I've been reading too many fantasy books and playing too much D&D, which reminds me, I also need to finish Dark Alliance. Damn Drow caves. MORE wandering around in circles looking for stuff!
 
I've got Symphony of the Night and smoked it. I only wish there was more active story, with more dialogue, and dialogue that didn't sound like it was recorded in a small recording studio with an echo. I first played the Lunar series on the old Sega CD. That was a great series. I can't seem to find a copy, now (in stores, anyway. I'm sure I could get a copy online, easily.). I have, and smoked Xenogears. I haven't heard of this Revelations: Persona, though.
 
OMG! Fallout! Man, I SOOOOOOO loved the Fallout series!

I wish they'd make more! Those kick serious @$$!!!!!
 
Well, I'm back from the exchange, and I didn't see any RPGs there that were really worth buying. There was about a million copies of NFL Street, though (Marines! Go figure!). I guess I'm either gonna pop in FFVII and try to make some progress, or do the same with Kingdom Hearts, until I get sick of either or both. If that happens, I'll try to find my way through the damned Drow cave in Dark Alliance. If that pisses me off too much, then maybe I'll pop in the Sims and forget about my own physical needs while I try to concentrate on the needs of a virtual person.
 
What I'd really like is a few RPG's that are based on Dungeons & Dragons. Cobblers to the Clouds, Squalls and all the others. I want some Paladins, Wizards and most of all... Rangers!!! (God, I just LURVE Rangers. 😀)

By the way Flatfoot, FFVII is the best one in the series. Even if it does have two virtually un-killable extra bosses (I still killed em though, yay for ME!) and took me upwards of 150 hours of game time to complete, it's dynamit! 🙂

Loved those rules Cav. Funny as hell. :blaugh:

I'd like to see some D&D RPGs, as well, and preferrably ones that don't jump on the Diablo bandwagon. I'd like to see a lot more story and a lot less hack-and-slash. I guess that's why D&D is a lot better when played with books, character sheets and dice, because then the DM's runnin' the show.
 
Yup, I'd agree with that Flatty. I've got all the books and 7 rolled and ready characters, but have never found a game to play them in. :cry1: Dammit but if you're in Florida when I am, D&D is something we've gotta do, besides tickling the living smeg out of all those barefoot, bikini-clad beach gals. :firedevil
 
I was amazed at how many of those actually apply to sci-fi games as well. Take the Star Wars "Jedi Knight" games, for example. I love it that Kyle Katarn can Force-Jump to the top of some tower, but can't simply pop his ass over a wall that you instead have to traverse endless mazes to get around.

You can add the "Specifically Useful Weapon" rule to that list. Such as being able to open a four-foot thick blast door by melting the lock with your lightsaber, but you can't use same lightsaber to chop through some one-inch bars that block your passage...forcing you into (everybody together now) traversing endless mazes to get around.

Also, all maleavolent or inconvenient machinery can only be disable by finding the one Button that turns it off...not by just jamming your lightsaber into the frail gears (which only throws off pretty sparks now). And don't try using your amazing Force powers to push the button from a distance...The Force can only be used to pull or push 200 lb. troops around, not manipulate a two-inch button.

Lastly, that up-'til-now useless lightsaber is the only thing that can kill Dark Jedi. Apparently the same Force that can't push a two-inch button can swat aside homing missiles, thermal detonators and arc-pulse turbolasers that would destroy five city blocks...as long as it's wielded by the Dark Side.

And speaking of which (and this applies to all RPG's), they forgot one major rule in role-playing games...

The main character can carry his main melee weapon, two kinds of throwing weapons, a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, four kinds of disruptor/disintigration/nuclear/magic weapons, night goggles, medical kits and at least six items useful for only one thing...all without making the slightest bulge in his costume, rendering him unable to even crawl or attracting the slightest bit of attention.

See that, Dave? More and more they're just trying to convince you to go to the darkside.

Also, you just reminded me of the bottomless pocket rule, which in turn, has reminded me of a few other RPG rules they forgot to mention.

1. Rpg party members cannot walk around in public as a group. Perhaps they draw too much attention that way, or something, so all supporting characters are required to climb inside the lead character, and are only allowed to come out when either a battle has commenced, or some important dialogue is about to take place.

2. Every house you walk into will usually be one big room, with a small kitchen, a table, and a bed. In no way, shape, or form will you EVER see a bathroom, unless for some reason it is significant to the story, kind of like the bar at Wall Market in Final Fantasy VII, where the guy is doing the 'pee-pee dance'.

In addition to the "no bathroom" rule, here is the "no shower" rule:

3. Rpg characters will adventure together, develop romantic interludes, but will NEVER, EVER take showers (I just wonder exactly how close those romantic interludes become.). Again, this is UNLESS taking a shower is somehow significant to the story, such as in Xenogears, where Fei discovers Elly's house in Solaris and is in awe of her rich, living conditions. Elly offers Fei the chance to take a shower in her futuristic-looking glass jar, and he is baffled by the prospect.

OMG DUDE! You so just ruined the game for those that haven't played! I mean, it's so obvious that the shower is the door to the evil world where thousands upon thousands of robots with BRAINS plan on taking over the world! I mean, geez! *No, that doesn't happen*

Anyway, wooooooooooo, yeah! I just made a pointless post! I think i'll celebrate by going to bed! YEAH! 😀
 
Glad so many people liked the list.

For whoever wanted recomendations for RPGS, I enjoyed playing ....

Pretty much all the Final Fantasy games, however I heard X-2 sucked, so don;t get that one.

Fallout 1 and 2. This game was great, to bad that interplay decided to kill the series by making spinoff games such as Fallout tactics and the new Fallout BOS, which is basically tomb raider in a fallout universe.

Arcanum, bad graphics but good story.

Temple of Elemental Evil for all you die hard D&D fans. I actually haven't played it yet, but I heard it's a good video game D&D game.

Jagged Alliance 2 - great game, more of a tactical game, but it does have many rpg elements to it, it's and old game made in 95 with poor graphics, but it's a blast to play. I got it and the expansion for 8 dollars.

That's all I can think of, but there's probably more.
