It's a good step in the right direction. Now if only we could just get more developers to take advantage of the multi-platform abilities of these engines.

Or as someone from BioWare once said, "Just because you put a 'J' in front of it doesn't make it an RPG."
The only JRPG I can think of off the top of my head that I would classify as a real RPG is ChronoTrigger. It has something like 16 different endings that depend on what decisions you make on your adventure, and in one case, you have the choice of either killing an antagonist, or sparing his life and asking him to join your party.

Quoting: tuubiNot really. I think Warren Spector put it best: An RPG is any game where you can change if not the outcome of the story then at least the way it is told.Quoting: Mountain ManIs this a real RPG, or is it just an adventure game with stats?...The line between RPG and adventure has always been vague.
And by "real RPG", I mean does it have actual choices and consequences that affect individual quests and the overall story? Or does it offer typical JRPG "choices", as in no choice at all?
"Do you want to rescue my uncle?"
>No
"Ha ha! You're a such a joker. Of course you want to rescue him. Let's go!"

Paradox haven't decided if their new game Imperator: Rome will be on Linux (update: it will!)

Quoting: slaapliedjeI mean in terms of gameplay and not just setting. Crusader Kings II is an RPG/dynasty simulator. Europa Universalis IV is about the politics and economic management of a nation. Heats of Iron IV focuses on the build up to and execution of war including complex battle strategies. What will be the gameplay focus of Imperator: Rome?Quoting: Mountain ManI'm curious how it's going to distinguish itself from Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV.Makes perfect sense to me, this game deals with Roman times, CK2 is Dark/Middle Ages, Europa Universalis is from 1500(?) to WWII, Hearts of Iron is WWII. So only thing they'd be missing after this is from WWII era to Stellaris.
Basically making Civilization, one tech level at a time!

Quoting: pete910Paradox's major patches are rarely backwards compatible.Quoting: Mountain ManAh, crap, and here I just started a new game of Stellaris this past weekend.May be lucky and still compatible with this patch
It's my dream to one day complete a full run of a Paradox game before the next major patch is released. :dizzy:
Edit :

The alpha build runs like a pig, but the graphics are nice, and the gameplay shows some promise. Hopefully it'll emerge from development as a polished and fun Diablo-killer.
