As I said before (but of course you didn't read it since you rearely pay attention), it would take me forever to reply to every single sentence. So I choose the ones that I feel need to be replied to.
Quote: gather you've never heard of Fallout 1 or 2, Lionheart, or Arcanum? They are great RPGs in unorthodox settings... Fallout is postapocalyptic, Lionheart is in a alternate history setting (the real middle ages, but with magic... so its got real historical figures in it and some kind of other races, but not the standard fantasy ones as far as I know), and Arcanum is a typical fantasy world... but in the Industrial Age, not the middle ages, and industrialization and machines are competing with magic... I haven't played it so I don't know the details, but its a interesting setting.
Wow, you can name four or five other PC RPGs that don't use the stupid D&D style. Incredible!
Quote:I just don't see how this is the first ever cartoon game. It isn't. It is a well done cartoon game, but is HARDLY the first cartoon-styled game... I guess something is blinding you from seeing that... selective memory or something? Or maybe a different definition of 'cartoon game' than everone else here uses... I don't see any other way you can defend your position... since so many games over the years have used cartoonish graphics and let them influence the gameplay, I just can't see how it is innovative. Better? Improved them (improved in their eyes, I mean...) with the use of cel-shading? Yes... but innovative? No. Just improvements over ideas already around for years. That isn't innovation.
Uh-huh. Name some games that have models and animation that are comparable to high-quality cartoons.
Quote:Rayman 2 wasn't cel-shaded, for example, but it did have great cartoonish graphics...
Rayman 2 didn't look anything like a cartoon. You seem to be missing the point, as usual.
Quote:Why not? Can you explain that?
As I stated at least three times already, innovation is innovation even if it's not recognized.
Quote:I don't see it because it couldn't be farther from the truth...
