The Grand List Of Console Role Paying Game Clichés - Mar 25, 2004 16:32
If you haven' t seen this before you might want to check it out. You' ll probably find it amusing if you' re a fan of RPGs (or even if you' re not), it' s definetly worth a look. Here' s a link to it:

I find it funny because almost all of them are accurate.

Yeah, I' ve seen that list. LOL

But after 50-60 RPGs in my day, 90% of them are unfortunately inaccurate. I can remember an RPG here and there where at least one of those things on that list happened, but there are only a select few on that list that I' ve seen happen in multiple RPGs.

I second that. Whilst some of these apply to RPG' s with disturbing accuracy, it' s basis is nevertheless flimsy.


Speaking of RPG' s, has anyone played the rather fantastic Skies of Arcadia?

Fairly good generalisation that.

As regards Skies of Aracdia it is quite simply stunning.

I have, but I' ve never thought it was half as great as other people thought. I' ve heard comparisons to FF VII, which is ludicrous, IMO.

Good RPG, though.
