View Full Version : What are cRPGs? DragonRider SkyWard Mon, 22nd Oct '01, 1:46pm What are cRPG's??? Wildfire Mon, 22nd Oct '01, 2:30pm Computer RPGs like BG1, BG2, Arcanum etc. Headbanger Mon, 22nd Oct '01, 4:02pm normally these games are just called RPG's. BG, BG2, etc ARE RPG's. But with the terms cRPG and RPG, we make a difference between RPG's that are played on computer, and non-computer-rpg's like D&D. It is good to use cRPG, for with RPG's on the computer, RolePlaying is a limited thing, so there is a great difference between RPG's and cRPG's. Nobleman Mon, 22nd Oct '01, 4:15pm That Was a clever observation Headbanger :p Computer RolePlaying Games. Are just computer games where you take a role. Simple eh? :1eye: Alyr Arkhon Tue, 23rd Oct '01, 1:13am Thee are two major types of cRPGs: some of them based on pen and paper RPGs, for example Baldurs Gate, Icewind dale, and the others rule-system is entirely created by it's creators, for example Arcanum, Betrayal at Krondor. Headbanger Tue, 23rd Oct '01, 12:20pm And there are games that are called RPG's, but definetly aren't, like Diablo2, :) Frog Sun, 28th Oct '01, 11:26am Then there are the linear japanese RPG's like most of the Final Fantasies. |
