| Posted By: Devillion Posted On: Nov 29, 2003 Views: 2494 | Good. I think humor in RPGs is great, sometimes RPGs take themselves to seriously, and a joke can liven things up. Look at Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga! That game has humor abound, and i think its a great touch. |
| Posted By: DomaDragoon Posted On: Nov 26, 2003 Views: 2577 | Topic Header I'd like to respond to this topic in a serious manner, but then I thought it would be a lot more fun to just throw cream pies at all the previous posters. |
| Posted By: Wilfredo Martinez Posted On: Nov 25, 2003 Views: 943 | It's all in the timing RPGs are supposed to emulate real life (plus fantastic elements, of course)and even in the most serious lives, something funny happens. The important thing is the TIMING- a well-placed joke can work wonders, but an ill-placed one can ruin the mood. |
| Posted By: Snake Eyez Posted On: Nov 25, 2003 Views: 929 | Humor in games It's nice to have an occasional spattering of humor every now and then just to lighten the mood up, just as long as they don't overdo it. Who can forget the first time we visited Costa del Sol in FF7 and spied on Barret modeling his new "pajamas" in the bathroom mirror? Or when we saw the Devour command for the first time in FF8, complete with a peaceful little intermission (especially when petite little Selphie used it on a huge monster like Ruby Dragon or Malboro)? Or how about when we unequipped all the armor and clothing from our characters in Baldur's Gate and pranced around the street in our underwear. Hoo boy.........good times. Little things like this make a game memorable. |
| Posted By: Lunatic_Panzer Posted On: Nov 24, 2003 Views: 861 | of course! I think its great when there is humour in an otherwise serious thing. you don't expect it so it makes it funnier. |
| Posted By: Sylvan Elf Posted On: Nov 24, 2003 Views: 818 | Generally... If something is serious, it's supposed to be believable. Even in the worst times, humorous things can happen. If it were dark and serious all the time, it would come off as melodramatic. |
| Posted By: Daria Posted On: Nov 24, 2003 Views: 822 | Umm... yeah. How often is it that you watch a serious movie, or drama and there isn't some humor included? My point exactly. :P |
| Posted By: Gila Posted On: Nov 24, 2003 Views: 846 | Humour is the best I think it's good to have some lightheartedness in serious things. And stuff. |
