Oh hey, I’d like to offer some constructive feedback to RPGAmer, individually, I just got back into the hobby enough to subscribe to your RSS feeds, Thank you for having them, BTW. my input here? it would be nice if you classified these titles by their combat systems and let us know which if any were ARPGS and which had traidtional turnbased combat, I heavily prefer turn based combat and watch lets plays if the story is good enough of ARPGS.
Thanks for the feedback, we’ll look at adding some tags for future articles.
