death of c-rpg?(maybe a slow death)

[Vingnir the Wanderer]

CRPG is not dying....

This is not a game primarily played by 'flavor of the month kids' waiting to be decieved into buying the next big 'box sale' for EA...

Unless the server side/development side goes away, you can be sure there will be plenty of adults living out thier dreams of medieval combat and tactics HERE, free of all the emo elves and trolls.

Unless of course Paradox/WB gets it's act together and attaches its awesome combat system to a meaty non-high-fantasy MMO, I see alot of people just fine with staying here and going no-where else.

You people can only play one game at once?

Pretty much.  You see, as you get older and get responsibilities your available time for gaming decreases substantially.  You can either dabble in a few games, never really getting anywhere in any of them or you can focus on one or two and still remain somewhat competitive.

If i played wolfenstein ET for years (although it was 10x more fun than crpg) I dont see why crpg would die.
I got bored with brainless fps so now I play brainless medieval fps and spam 2h.

FELLOW WOLFENSTEIN ENEMY TERRITORY PLAYER :O
I still say that was the best game I have ever played, and for years. Well, best FPS by far. Best RTS being Age of Mythology.

At fifteen, I had the will to  learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no  doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ;  at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could  do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the  square..

I smell terrorists...

I do not believe that cRPG will die to a player exodus. Many even current players have threatened to quit after QQing at nerfs --- they're still here.

Personally, I've been following Guild Wars 2 before I even knew cRPG existed as a mod in Warband. That game will suck me out of pretty much everything else (real life not excluded :-p).

That aside, cRPG is a unique style of gameplay. A previous post mentioned the 'depth' of the game. In all honesty, I think Warband/cPRG is rather shallow compared to many games, but certainly more deep than competitive FPS games. This brings us into a very niche market, which is unlikely to lose much of its player base.

I also do not think it is realistic to compare an Indie game's MOD to a AAA title. We're not even comparing game to game here... but mod to a triple-A title... Not exactly a level playing field, imo.

cRPG will die when its devs decide to kill it. I don't foresee large player shifts for any likely reason.

cRPG has no current rival in its genre

This is the ONLY reason alot of us haven't moved the fuck on yet.

Pretty much.

[Christo]

Yeah.

Warband/cRPG carved a genre of it's own.

Many players are loyal and dedicated to cRPG, yet I have to admit that I'll be among the list of leaving this game for SW:The Old Republic and Skyrim.

I've recently received the honor to beta test for SWTOR (And that's all I'm going to say due to the NDA I have with BioWare), and by the looks of it, I'm leaving cRPG earlier than I expected.

But like others said, no games/mods out there offer the same simulation/genre like cRPG, so I will return to cRPG eventually.

I've been following Guild Wars 2 before I even knew cRPG existed as a mod in Warband.

And I've been following SW:TOR ever since 2008, the wait is.. was a torture

My computer is shit so I'm stuck here until I get a decent computer. Which might happen cause I like the looks of Battlefield 3 and Skyrim.

[Gorath]

cause I like the looks of Battlefield 3 and Skyrim.

Indeed.  I haven't bothered with any of the battlefield series since 2142 was such a letdown, but BF3 looks like a fucking riot.

A many a time I stopped playing crpg to play something else, but I always come back to it. That aint gon change for me any time soon
