11 million no lifers who can't get off their arse and find a decent game to play, true. But on topic: You could have just said either Fallout 2 or Baldur's Gate 2 to prove your point, ya know. :) /fanboyism........but it's true!

While i agree that the PC is great for RPGs, it's really more the place for WRPGS. If you want JRPGs, then the PS2 is the best option, but otherwise the PC is great.

Partially true. JRPG fans would probably want the Xbox 360 console though.

Agreed. I bought my 360 for the JRPGs, but as far as quantity goes, there's far more on the PS2. That being said, i'm sure that over time there'll be tons more on the 360.

Not to forget Jade Empire, Two Worlds, and Mass Effect I love RPGs. Best thing about them is the enormous worlds they are set in along with the cool monsters. Almost all RPGs I have played, have at least 40 hours minimum of gameplay.

How can you bash WoW when your xfire says youve played it for over 270 hours? Sure thats not a whole lot by WoW standards.... but thats still like 10 DAYS.

I hate WoW for my own reasons.  However, blizzard did one thing right when they created the game.  They made it extremely friendly to solo/casual players.  Which, think whatever you want, is the majority of the playerbase.  Just because you don't like it doesn't make it false.  Hell, I've tried every free MMO out there, and a few pay-to-play ones... WoW is the only MMO that massive, that is that friendly to solo/casual play.

The PC is the place for every genre except for sports games I suppose. I guess you could also give fighting games to the consoles, but if you know where to look - all the best fighting games ever released can be played on the PC (and with online capabilities!).

It's a good game, I enjoy it. Whenever anything is popular, it will tend to have more haters than a lesser-known game. People can **** all they want, but really - if you don't have anything good to say then why bother saying anything at all.

oh for the love of god! one of the most popular TV shows in history is American Idol for crying out loud!

And what will whining about American Idol do to get it taken off of the air? And really, just because you want it to be taken off the air, that doesn't mean there aren't people who enjoy watching the show. There are worse shows on television that are pretty popular as well - Oprah for example. I'm not going to go to a talk show forum and complain about how much Oprah sucks, because then that pretty much contradicts my previous statements that people who watch Oprah have no lives.

best selling hamburger is most likely McDonalds.

I guess a Honda Civic is a better car becuase they sell more of them then Porche's

Yea...not really sure where you are going with this now. But McDonalds, Honda and American Idol all have their great share of haters, which is pretty much what you are doing now which actually supports my arguement...so, what exactly are you trying to say?

1. I am really sorry my words do not make my point clear to you and that I have to spell it out for you but there it is I will.
2. Sales DO NOT EQUAL quality.

 

Sales mean SOMEBODY is enjoying the product.  Just because you don't happen to think the product has the qualities you believe it should have, does not mean it does not have quality.  It just means that you don't enjoy the product.  Don't look at something subjectively and try to pan it off as facts.

Thank you Greyfield, I am glad to see somebody else sees it my way. And Sean, I made my point. Anything that is popular has its share of haters, it doesn't mean it's a bad game because you and other people say it is. You keep talking about how people supposedly think if one person likes a game everyone else must, which a lot of people might think that way I don't know, but it is completely out of context with what I said and doesn't really apply much to the current conversation we are having. I am just saying I enjoy WOW and think it's a good game, and I am pretty sure if you look anywhere on the Internet you will see smear topics about WOW from people who have nothing better to do. If you don't like a game, you are entitled to that opinion, but don't start dissing that game and putting down the people who play it. That is all I am trying to say here.

Ok so lets follow this a bit shall we. Step 1: I see an add for a game and I read a review seems like a good game Step 2: I buy the game Step 3: becusae I bought the game it must mean I liked it. Even though I havent actually played it yet. if you please, try to figure out my point above without me having to spell it out in even more detail.

 

And here I thought we were talking about mcdonalds and honda.

 

The game market works differently than other standard product companies.  Since games are a 1-time sale, you have to look at player reviews and sales over time, instead of initial sales.  You're comparing apples to oranges here.

II agree, I tend to find more good console and jrpgs than I do good PC rpgs. There are some good PC rpgs, but in my own opinion console rpgs have more depth and a certain style of play that you usually don't receive from playing a PC rpg.

Ps2 had some good RPGs, but I also thought the system had a problem with too many sub-par RPG releases as well. I never cared for the persona or .hack games, (shin megami tensei digital devil saga was okay, but not really unique or amazing or anything...again kinda subpar.) liked FFX of course, Arc the Lad Twilight of Spirits was intriguing, Disgaea was great, the Dark Cloud games were fun, enjoyed Drakengard, had fun with a lot of them but then there were just a lot of them I felt were a waste of money and unoriginal in every way from the story to the gameplay. And some that were pure crap. But yeah, it had some good rpgs.

[QUOTE="naval"][QUOTE="tony2077ca"][QUOTE="naval"] ah .. don't take it seriously ... i just wanted to show there is no point in arguing over opinion, so i was trying to copy what you say and present it from my point of view. anyways personally speaking, i have yet to find a console exclusive rpg that I would give more than 7.0-7.5 out of 10

i was just wondering what you meant by that

by correct you i meant to show you pc has better rpgs (it was just a sarcastic statement to point out that you cannot change someone's opinions by presenting yours)

oh ok no harm done and over all each has good and bad rpgs so saying one has better isn't really correct just that there more consoles one because there are more then one console and it will always be that way and some rpgs are released on a console that aren't released on pc
