I can't play what you define as Action RPGs, so that division is important to me. And I agree with you that Diablo and its clones are a different sort of animal. And I would call them RPGs (many people wouldn't) but I agree that they are a different sort of RPG as well. Many people argue that the ab...

I think the main thing is that Dragon Age was announced early to appease PC fans (in the face of BioWare's increasing console development) and didn't have a publisher announced. I can understand what you are saying but a different developer might simply have not announced it yet, in which case othe...

They don't make those kind of games now, but apparently they want to. And they want to do MMORPGs (presumably because they think that's where the money is). They also ate Maxis (The Sims). Their reputation among most gamers is for putting out games on a strict schedule whether they're ready or not -...

EA swallows up Bioware
Electronic Arts, the sports-oriented game publishing giant that swallowed up and destroyed Origin (Ultima creators) and Westwood (Lands of Lore), among others, has just bought Bioware (Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights). For people who were placing hopes on Dragon's Age, their PC RPG in development,...

Haven't played those. You're probably looking for a more personal reply, but here are two sites that specialize in adventure games, and have active forums where you can probably find something out:

Sadly they dont make many adventure games anymore either. So, there must be something wrong with me because my 2 favorite seem to be the least popular now. :roll: I'm in the same boat, of course, but I think RPGs are actually worse off than adventure games, which are making a sort of limited niche ...

Final Beta Release
Final beta in the hands of internal testers? Cool! And it popped right up in my RSS feed. We are rapidly approaching release of an actual RPG! I can hardly wait -- it's been years. (just reloaded Wizardry 8, which I see is going for $40 or $50 on eBay, as are many old school RPGs; action RPGs are a ...

Yay, 200 users! Now everyone go out and recruit ten people to buy this game. For starters.
Thanks, chances are it's not too great, but it's definitely not a Korean MMORPG. Speaking of that hideous genre, have I mentioned the beautiful but unintentionally hilarious Sword of the New World here? The one part of it I found amusing (other than the 18th century costumes) was the way one of the ...
I wasn't aware of that Gamesrankings site. I checked Loki out on Metacritic, where it did only marginally better (60%) (and as usual, with better reception from the public). That Eurogamer score brings it way down, but overall I get the impression it's competent if not inspired, but with potential l...
