Like Aril, let me school you on a great action RPG. Unlike Aril, this one is modern and played on a PS3 (and can be gotten for cheap nowadays, they sell it $19 new). DS is an action RPG; think Oblivion, but with less talk and a much better combat engine. The emphasis is on surviving. There's central hub where you can do your restocking and such but once you're in the field it's all about combat. And I'm serious about the combat- it's one of the best I've played in this kind of game. There's several dozen weapons and they all have their own attack moves and animations- and that counts because environment matters- if you hit a wall with a sword swing, it will hit the wall and not connect how you want it to. A clip below of a sample section of the first world, fighting mostly human opponents. This guy is playing a fighter type, although some magic does get thrown around at the end of this clip. bennyhillifier No, it's not turn based. But if you're a stats whore, there's plenty of that too. bennyhillifier The unique thing about this game is the atmosphere- it's pretty bleak and depressing. The soundtrack is mostly ambient. And it's HARD, at least until the beat the game at least once- you will get used to inching around corners with a shield raised. You will die, and die often. The game will even kill you in the tutorial, just cause it can. Like boss monsters? There's plenty here too. Here's one of the early bosses, a sorceress bitch. Ignore this player's penchant for destroying furniture at the start of the clip. bennyhillifier If you like this sort of game, trust me, it's a good one. That's why I'm psyched for a sequel :p
