over the top violence isn't getting boring to you?  oh yeah, you're black

[Himu]

When he says violence, he means combat in general. He doesn't want combat in games, he wants another way to play games.

Somebody tell this guy games aren't art.

[Himu]

Why would anyone not want to fight in an rpg other than to increase the difficulty? I can't believe the guy complained you have to fight the final fucking boss in Fallout. Are you shitting me?

[The Fake Shemp]

It was actually a good read, for the most part.  He was just saying videogames aren't there yet, in that even with all the fancy graphics and technology, all they really do is meet our most primal needs.  Even the most non-linear games have not grasped the concept yet.  That was the point, not to pick on Fallout.

This guy is right. I also would like to pay monopoly without having to cause my opponents to go bankrupt to win.

Catan is the new monoply.

[The Sceneman]

I read the first few sentences and the guy is obviously a tool and a shitty writer, so I stopped

[Mr. Gundam]

Catan is the new monoply.

Dude, Catan has been the new Monopoly for a long time now. Get with the times.

You guys donīt undertand what he is saying.  If he was a pussy (as many of you said) he wouldnīt dare to finish the games in the many ways he described.  He is kinda pissed off that in most RPGs (Japanese RPGs) the only way to level up is by fighting.  I agree with this: in many western RPGs you are allowed to level up not only by fighting but also completing quests (sometimes without very little fighting) and doing things (like TES, you do this "ability" many times and you level up).

Why always fight and fight until the world ends?  Why not give the player other option (he is NOT saying that combat should be eliminated) other than blasting everything.

[Himu]

Plenty of games give you the option. Plus, the guy is an idiot. He brings up Call of fucking Duty when Call of Duty is a WAR game. Does he expect the British and the Nazi's to have a cup of tea and settle their differences?

What a tool.

Japanese rpgs are very battle centric, and it's annoying that they think that the only type of secrets or extras rpgs should have are WOW SECRET BOSS NO ONE WANTS TO FIGHT and bullshit, but that doesn't mean they need to allow another way to do things. In fact, most jrpgs these days allow you to simply avoid fighting except for boss altogether.

He's still a tool.

There are different games for different styles of play. If he doesn't want to play games with combat in them he should pick up games like Katamari Damacy and the like.
