I hope you're joking outlaw or u lost al credibility.

A smidge, but not about Demon's Souls being a JRPG.

 

Not a single bit.

Okay, I'll let you live in your delusion, but what's a 'smidge'?



Around the Network

Demon Souls is not a JPRG.

Lost Odyssey is a JRPG.
Demon Souls is a ARPG with WRPG gameplay.



     

My Gaming Setup

God, someone put a leash on the mutt please. On a lighter note, congratulations to From Software for creating this Jrpg masterpiece. Atlus would have sold even more if they didn't low ball this game's popularity.



^ Huh?

AND IT IS JRPG FOR ALL THAT THINK IT IS NO

outsold LOST ODYSSEY 360

105,000 OPENING WEEK

Pokemon Platinum sold 725,990 copies in America on opening week.

It laughs at Demon's Souls.  The HD console qualifier is lame.  Include them all to see how sad the sales are.

Why'd you jump to handhelds?

Could of eaisly just went with Pokemon Battle Revolution on Wii.

No.

Ok.

That's hilarious.

It's also the exact same point WOW was making... yet you and Trollian went insane on him.  What's up with that?

DS is a JRPG with a westernized feel. There is no other genre it could possibly fit into.

Aren't JRPG and WRPG supposed to be defined by the feel and not by what geographical country they are made in?

Cause if it's just country then it's a bullshit genre.  (Which is something i've been saying for years.)



Excuse me but I am not believing these numbers untill Atlus confirms them (if there is already a confirmation please give me a link)

It's not that I dont think this game could sell 100k 1st week - it easily could, as it is more of a wRPG than jRPG, it's just that vgchartz tends to overtrack Atlus' games sales in North America way too often, just to adjust them down once Atlus posts their quarter results. Same happened with Persona 4 (still not adjusted by the way)



I haven't laughed this hard at a thread in awhile. I needed that too, it's been raining here for 3 days and it was starting to affect my mood.

Sell a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish you just ruined a perfect business opportunity.
