Oh no, it's not the whole gunfire and explosion but rather, the 'one stop game play'. It's like fighting, you know? Capcom and marvel battle. It's just a one off shot and you play once, and that's it. You don't actually spend so much time for another. Of course, story line and plot is awesome and inspiring but you have to know that some people don't like RPGs and they substitute it for something else. People nowadays have less patients in many things. So.. they would rather have a quick, one go and that's it.

I've been in both shoes, playing RPG and Dota, I still am playing dota (just finished a match just now) and I got the feel for both games.I would definitely prefer FF compared to Dota but if I want a quick game, i mess around with dota. Also, RPG games tend to only attract those who like games with stories. It goes to show that there are less people wanting story games. Again, you can't be too sure. There isn't any statistic that shows the percentage of how many people like RPG games compared to strategy games.

I understand where your coming from but DotA and MoH are multiplayer games, They're on a different level of gameplay. They exchange storyline for unpredictable strategical multiplayer action, replayability, etc.

If anything, They're like minigames. :)

And the key element to their fame is in their replayability.

explosions and gunfires don't substitute a great storyline, i think. DotA or MoH are just minigames, but it is a team game. a game which you can play which your friends, families.... it's quite relax playing it and enjoy the siprit of working together. at first i don't like playing them too, then one of my friends encouraged me to join in. talking in words won't come to anything, just try and you will know how it feels.

and about Okami, the greatest game i have ever played, nothing to say more!

MoH= Rampant mindless killing. Explosions. Guns. Death. Killing.

What is DotA?

A simplified version of World of Warcraft which usual Malaysians who have no idea what is WoW except weirdo's like me plays.

1) Experience with other gamers, actually.

2) Not to mention that usually the gamers who're so hardcore on those genres won't give a jack about how beautifully done Ookami is. They want to shoot their friends, they want to cooperate to blast things off. You can feast your eyes with beautiful sight and content of Ookami, they will sleep in the middle of the way as they are.
