I can say in all honesty that rail racer was pretty cool for the first week or so I had it. I enjoyed racing through tracks and getting my class up so I could get new upgrades. But its just not really my thing. I enjoy deeper games with more complexity and strategic elements. Sure rail racer takes a while to learn, but there's no real plot to it, at least not in the sense of gameplay terms. I'm more interested in a solid RPG with advanced mechanics like a party system, a deep and intreguing plot line, well-made characters, an advanced and tactical battle system like those in the older turn-based RPGs which have gone out of style, and other things like that. Unfortunately I don't see anything like that hitting anytime in the near future since in order to make a game like that you'd likely have to hire professional voice actors to do each character in the game. I suppose you could use Sapi for the non-main characters, but anything else for the main characters and major scenes in the game just wouldn't cut it in my opinion. Truthfully I don't think I'll be satisfied with any accessible games until something like what mainstream gamers are getting comes into play. Now I'm not saying the games we have aren't fun, they pull me in for a while, but inevitably I get bored with them and drop them because there's nothing to really pull me into the game and keep me there. I understand about the one man teams and such, one person can only do so much, that's why I personally think devs should stop working independantly and band together somehow. But then that brings up the problem of how to divide up the profits and whatnot and... well, I dunno. I think this message is long enough as is. Just so everyone knows, I meant no offense by anything I said here.
