[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5915031, member: 67338"] Ok, so the playtest is almost here, and they keep asking about 'Does it feel like D&D?" and I have until today been unsure what they ment. I use to play ALOT of video games. I had an atari, a NES, and a Super NES. I would spend hours with many game, but bar none my favorite was The Legend of Zelda. To the point that my first day with a SUper NeS I had to have the newest zelda game, a link to the past. Ok fast forward through collage and no games, and one of my friends got me back into PS2 with grand theft auto, but it wasn't like before. I would play less time a week then I use to play a day, and alot of it was with friends joking, not by myself. fast forward again, and for my young nephew I now have a wii, and look at that there is a zelda game for it. SO I have tried and tried to get into this game. The graphics are better, the story is well more worked out, there is so much more you can do. The game handles better. Yet I find that I down loaded the orginal zelda and play that instead. I just can't get into this new game. Infact I down loaded Castlvania, Supermario, and double dribble too. There are newer (Better) versions of these games, but the old NES ones I play much more then the newer ones. I don't know what makes an 8bit clunky hard game better then a new age next generation game, but something holds me to it. So then I think back to 2e D&D (My first real time playing) and I still remember there being some caster problems, and I really dont want to go back to Thac0, but I still kinda miss the feel of those games. I wonder if I am a bit of a closset gognard, since I went and bought [URL="http://www.newhavengames.com/?page_id=23"]a retroclone that isn't even out yet[/URL] and now I wonder how do you cpture that feel. what about everyone else, how do you explain feel of a game? Becuse I find I can not put it into words, and I feel that will hurt the playtest. [/QUOTE]
