Yeah, i guess it's not really a RPG like baldurs gate II for example, i guess it's more Action/Adventure, but thanks for the suggestion of Rune, i guess i'll check that one out!

The idea about a huge world with combat like Severance would be damn awesome, i don't know why more game's dont use this combat system, it's defintley the most enjoyable for hack n slash rather than just holding down the left mouse button on an enemy, but from what i've seen the combat in rise of the arganouts seem's pretty similar to severance, and you can decipate your foes...who knows it could turn out to be a great game :)

Severance: Blade of Darkness!

This game is pure brilliance, it didn't gather much attention back on it's release, due to it not having much marketing, but even today this game is amazing.

It's bascialy a Action/RPG & adventure all in one, there's some features in the game which are even pretty impressive today, for example your final slash on an enemy could take his head off, you can then pick up his head and use it as a weapon, and you can completey take off all their body parts, and launch them around the room.

Theres plenty of bosses, the soundtrack is fantastic and adds to the feeling of the game, and it's just a real shame that not many people got to experience this masterpiece.

So for anyone who's never played it, and likes these kind of games, i really suggest you check it out, you can pick it up on ebay for around £4, and you won't regret it.

And for anyone who's played this before, do you know any games which are similar? i'd love to try them.

Look, i'm a sony fan as well, have been since the PS1, however this post is a blatant fanboy post, i mean whats the point in this thread? and listing games like MGS2 for a PS3 post is ridiculous.

It was proven in a thread a few days ago from someone that NO Jrpgs sell well in the United States except Final Fantasy and Pokemon. And Pokemon games have only sold well on handhelds. So, that pretty much means that the ONLY Jrpgs to sell really well in the United States on consoles are Final Fantasy games. Seriously...go try and find million sellers of Jrpgs on consoles in the United States that don't have the words "Final Fantasy" in them. It really is pathetic. Why is the 360 getting so many Jrpgs when (other than Final Fantasy games) NO JRPG IN CONSOLE HISTORY has sold one million copies in the United States? I can understand if 360 were getting more Western rpgs. Those sell well in the U.S.

I am guilty of saying that lemmings just don't like Jrpgs. But, it turns out that most American gamers apparently feel the same way unless it is Final Fantasy...

So, this makes me wonder why any developer other than Square Enix would even attempt to bring Jrpgs to 360. It makes no logical sense to me. I can understand PS2 getting tons of rpgs. Those sold well in Japan. But 360 getting Jrpgs doesn't sell well in Japan or U.S. or Europe. But developers have chosen the 360 for the main platform for Jrpgs. Doesn't make any sense...
