Quote:The Wars games came before any of those PC games that you claimed were "Advance Wars-like"! Just like Phantasy Star came before Anachronox, and since it first appeared on a console and that's where that particular type of RPG thrived, it makes it a console-style RPG!
Not true. As I said, turn-based strategy games and wargames both well predate the Wars series, incontestibly..
Quote:No dummy, what I said was that there are console-style RPGs and PC-style RPGs. You can have a console-style RPG on a PC (FFVII, Anachronox) and a PC-style RPG on a console (Morrowind, KOTOR), of course. Yeesh.
I'd rather catagorize them by how they play than what system they are on... menu-based, turnbased combat, realtime, pausable realtime, action-style realtime, and variations on those basic types...
