Last night, I stayed up til *almost* 4 AM. It's a rare occasion that I make it that long, due to exhaustion or common sense. It's really amazing how long you can talk to someone about nothing.
Nathan and I were discussing what an awesome game would be. I guess the topic strayed to MMORPGs, but the game I would love to play would be multiplayer, on a console or LAN. Well, I suppose that I would actually love for it to be a MMORPG, except for the monthly fees. The main thing is, I want to play with my friends, and we're all too cheap, and could never decide on just one game.
My game would be a cross between an RPG and an action game, but not just an action RPG. Not solely menu based, and not just a hack an slash game. a cross between them, sorta like a Diablo platform...jeez, now that I think about it, it's just a MMORPG fighting style :S
One thing I would love to see changed is the actual role of role playing. In console RPG's, players often have to follow a story, and wind up relating to the main character. The player should actually be the main character, not just relate to them. For just about every conversation in the game, you should have the choice of three or four different responses that actually mould the conversation, and the entire plot of the game. You shouldn't do a quest you don't want to do. That would be cool.
Your friends should be able to join in your quest when they're over. You shouldn't have to start a new game whenever a friend is over. Each person should have their own character saved for future use and development. You know, the more I think about it, the more I feel games with monthly fees might be worth it...
After saying all of this, I'd like to try Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for Gamecube. It seems to have a lot of these features, but for multiplayer play, each person needs a gameboy advance to play. That gets expensive, especially if no one actually *wants* a GBA.
Well...perhaps I'll mull over the thought of purchasing Final Fantasy XI. In terms of out of pocket expenses, and the social cost I'm sure it would have, maybe I'll wait it out a bit longer.
Another long, but unrelated post follows.
