in his book) categories split over time. Back in the days of Jules Verne and H.G. Well, there was no sales cagrotey or genre of science fiction. Their works were as mainstream as anything else. It wasn’t until there was a distinct buying public that the sales cagrotey / genre emerged. So as we mix and match genres and created new audiences, expect new categories to emerge. This is not really that confusing in the vast majority of cases. Most of the time, it’s only confusing if we try to get too technical. But then again, Clinton proved that there is nothing so simple that we can’t choose to make it technically confusing. Presto,You seem to be suggesting that your list of games is difficult to place into categories. Yet that isn’t really true in my opinion. I don’t know all the games on the list, but I’ll consider the ones I know:Warcraft III – RTSAge of Wonders II – Turn based strategy (Master of Magic style)Oblivion – RPGHeroes of Might and Magic IV – Turn based strategy (Heroes of Might and Magic style)Dragonshard – RTSSee, not very difficult, at least not with this list. All of the above fall clearly into a single cagrotey because they have critical game elements that plainly put them into a single cagrotey, though admittedly they borrow from other categories.If you want better borderline example, I’d suggest Freedom Force or Legend of Zelda. Freedom Force’s creators labeled it as an RPG. I’m still not entirely convinced this was true, nor am I willing to deny it. The issue here is that it has a lot of RPG elements, but misses some of the biggest ones e2€“ i.e. You never control a single character, you only use characters in combat, there are no choices to make, you interact with no NPC, etc. The biggest issue though is that the e2€œgamee2€9d is the combat alone. There is no e2€œgamee2€9d in the story line. This game doesn’t fit well into the RPG sales cagrotey. *Yet* I can’t really see it fitting well into any other cagrotey either. It’s not an RTS because there is no base building. Perhaps it’s a e2€œstrategye2€9d game, but my guess is that that would be a poor cagrotey to place it in because strategy gamers probably wouldn’t be interested in it. e2€œRPGe2€9d probably was the best game cagrotey because that’s the existing buying audience that would probably be most interested. (Excellent game by the way if you’ve never played it.)So I have to admit you’re correct, Presto, in at least some cases. But I disagree it’s a problem with the games on your list that I recognized. All fall into clear categories in my opinion. Just look for the dominate game play elements. That’s the cagrotey.

Very interesting to see why Chocolate wears the SS Nazi cap. I’ve been wondering about that. for quite some time. I only got a glimpse of where that originated. Funny the woman’s name is Liliana and has a SS Nazi fetish. My name also is Lillianexcluding the “a” and I do find the SS uniforms sexy on both men and women particularly more on men. Lol

But I am glad overtime they changed Chocolate’s cap to a different one. Some people can be too sensitive but it’s kind of shame. Idk lol

Hey thank you for posting this review. I wish there were another review about newly characters in town. You knows there are so many characters it’s import that all of them have a review.

Comment on High Fantasy vs. Low Fantasy by Keeping it real

Keeping it real — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:28:06 +0000

I like wikipedia’s definition better. I think of low fantasy as Buffy/Angel, Tuck Everlasting, Interview with the Vampire etc. and high fantasy as Lord of the Rings (maybe Harry Potter-isolated magical world within the real world-, and Chronicles of Narnia-separate world reached through a portal in the real world-, as well).
