After trying several JRPGs, the Japanese can keep that stuff...Japan can have the ps3, and the REST of the world will go with the 360 and Wii...Yeah...seems like an okay deal to me. FF 13...they can keep that one too...I'll take ME2 and Dragon Age and other over it anyday!

LOL! ME2 over FF13? Riiiiight

What's funny about that?

It's truly outragous to compare a JRPG to a third person shooter that's why!

RPFLMAO...So now Dragon Age and Mass Effect are third person shooters...yeah...you might wanna get a clue.

He is calling Mass Effect a shooter, not Dragon Age. And Mass Effect is a third person shooter.

Using the CLASSIC definition of RPG...These JRPGs aren't RPGs at all, if this is the new re-defining people want to use.  Hey, I remember the Pool of Radiance, and the JRPG look NOTHING like those, so as far as I'm concerned, Mass Effect is a RPG, unlike a straight shooter, which is based more heavily on Hand eye:

Gee...guest I'm not the only one who thinks Mass Effect is an RPG:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_effect

Well, Mass Effect plays like a TPS. It doesn't play nearly as well as Gears or Ghost Recon, but you still play the game as a TPS.

Errr...yep.  So Star Ocean is a TPS as well I guess, since the battles are Real Time and you control (BTW, ME is a dice roll)your attacks...so is Last Remnant and a host of other JRPGs.

Not at all. ME is a RPG in that you move and shoot as you were in Gears of War. There is a HUGE difference between SO4 and ME.

I guess...I thought ME was a dice roll, which would make it very much unlike Gears of War, whereas Star Ocean is a tactile system, like Gears...you miss, based on ur bad aim, not a dice roll.  But in the greater scene, it's alla dice roll, since it is games, and there has to be some some computations at the heart of whatever move you make.  So at the core, all thee games are the same...
