agreed I'd rather have games done rather than done 80% and declared done by marketing. then you hear about all the sutff that had to go at the last moment and all the bugs and then you curse.

*groan* Oh noes! SEIV beta started way back in ... well, I can't quite remember. I know the planning started around 1998, beta I think was sometime late 1999 or 2000... and we're STILL getting patches to it, at the end of 2005!

We're not gonna get it until 2010!

(Ok, ok, so there was Dungeon Odyssey and Starfury in between... but still)

Starfury was just making the engine for se5 and

Dungeon Odyssey was just WTF.
Ragnarok from 1992 is better, granted Ragnarok beats just about every other modern RPG also...

Final Fantasy Tactics for the playstation was my favorite, but I grew up with the Dragon Warrior series for the NES. My 4 year old was playing the original the other day,She wasn't doing too bad for not being able to read yet. Might and Magic VI I thought was a good game. I play adom at work every once in a while, but I was never a big fan of "die and start from the begining" type. Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter had an interesting save system though, but I haven't gone far into that game yet. I'll have to give Ragnarok a try, I'm always up for a new RPG, there just arent enough good ones out there.

I never got into the online games, partly because I don't have the money for the montly fees, and partly because I don't have internet at home. At the time I looked into it I couldn't see paying 20-30 dollars each month for the little time I had to play. I did play a free demo of something along the lines of an MMORPG, It was aimed more a kids though. a free trial aimed at kids meant there were alot of people running around not knowing what they were supposed to do. I wouldn't mind trying out something like Guildwars, but for now I'm stuck with single player RPG's

Guild Wars has no monthly fee. You still have to pay for Internet though, which might run around $20 a month for low end DSL from SBC (they have special deals all the time) or similar.

Thats not so bad. It's been a few years since I had internet at home. I gave up when I couldn't find a reliable SP that wouldn't try to shaft me. My current comp isn't worth fixing for internet though. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

Wolfman77: You can get around Adoms' total death syndrome by simply copying the savegame into a backup folder.

But in my opinion, this does take away something from the experience. (Doesn't mean I don't do it, though. )
