good thread, and people say the "casual" gamer is uninformed

Muramasa Only for me.. i know what it is (not an RPG) and i want it a lot!!! :)

@twesterm: do you mean the characters speak japanese with english subs? bummer :(

I used to think Monster Hunter and Fragile were RPGs but i saw gameplay vids i realised that they weren't (long time ago).

i knew nothing about about MH, when i saw MH3 it sounded/seemed pretty nice, but when i saw gameplay of it, it looked really weird, no story, no main characters/party members... it seemed too much like an MMOs or something.

I thought fragile was gonna be nice but the more i saw, the less i wanted it... the combat and shooting looked awful, it turned out to be more of an adventure game (mystery, flashlight). The music was fabulous though

Yeah, no English voice track.

And people can sit there and tell me that subtitles don't bother them-- good for you and I don't give a crap.  I hate subtitles.  I really don't care that they don't bother you and you watch anime after anime with subtitles, that's awesome for you, but personally just hate having to read subtitles while watching the movie.  That is my own personal preference and you liking subs and telling me how you like them isn't going to change my mind.

This isn't me just being hard headed, I've tried multiple films and animes with subs and I just don't like reading my movies.

Know about all these games and won't buy Fragile not my kind of game.

Also Subs are superior to dub in every way shape and form unless done by a movie company.

This

In Norway (where i'm from) everything is subbed. Everyone i know and the bigger part of the norwegian population consider dubbing as painful to listen to.

Good thread.

Just recently I saw some of the misunderstanding with Muramasa. Some RPG website gave it a bad review. Makes sense considering that it isn't really an RPG.

I might get Fragile, but I'm definitely skipping the other two. As for Fragile, it depends solely on how immersive the story and atmosphere are. There's no way I would ever play a game like that if the story is corny or poorly told.

I'm still definitely getting Fragile. Been wanting it for ages now.

Three of my most anticipated Wii games and still three of my most anticipated Wii games.

 I particularly like The Brutal Legend issue of Play Magazine where they get into what Fragile is really all about. It's mainly all about its atmosphere and world. There's a Japanese name for that kind of game, but I forget it right now. It should be right up there with the best of its type games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and Folklore. And one ofthe best "lonely games" that have been released in awhile.

 Also, Play Magazine said that it might lose points with some reviewers because the gameplay isn't really that strong, however, it is a beautiful game and very unique in today's marketplace because while most big western games that deal with ruins have the horror to be found in ruins as their theme, Fragile is about the beauty that exists in or of ruins.
