Hi again,

Do anyone know of a good quality Chinese RPG game.

Now before branding this as off topc let me explain why.

I learned my English through countless hours playing video games.

Not only that, of course, but that was certainly part of it.

I really enjoy translating the story and I find much more motivating to learn 汉字 when I find a
use for it right away.

It certainly beats memorizing 汉字 one by one.

I'm guessing I'm learning close to 20 汉字 a day with this method.

I basically take a screen shot and then I paste it in word.

After that, I use my dictionary to identify each 汉字 individually (those I don't know).

I finally use my dictionary to translate what is being said.

Here's a sample to give you an idea:



I'm looking for free games using simplified Chinese if possible.

Please do provide some links if possible.

Not free, but you can try:
This series 幻想三囯志(1-3): http://youtube.com/watch?v=KWHFSCnkbUs
This series 仙剑奇侠传(1-4): http://youtube.com/watch?v=hzg4dUJGA9E

but the language used in these games contains many classical elements and is not the same as
everyday spoken Chinese.










SeekerOfPeace -

Thank you Quest for your help, it is appreciated.

I've tried one of those games and could understand a lot of things.

I think it must've been a demo because it was really, really short.

EDIT: How much are those games?










Quest -

Are you in China? http://search.ebay.com.cn










SeekerOfPeace -

Not at the moment, no.

They both look really neat.

Maybe some older game would work as well, while being free of charge (abandonware).

I'll keep looking...










Quest -

There are at least 10 games in those 2 series. It's like the Final Fantasy franchise. To get
abandon ware, you would have to go all the way back to the 80s, and if you can bear with the
graphics.. the game you posted is 风云1? I don't think that's abandonware either. Anyways, good
luck hunting down those games.










roddy -

Here's one which should be free to play SUN, and another. Other The9 games might be worth looking
at - there's a bit of a shift at the moment towards making online games free to pay, but charging
for equipment - and making it very easy to level up so that you end up needing higher level
equipment as soon as possible.










Quest -

Online games aren't as text based as traditional rpgs, and probably not as beneficial for language
learning.










kdavid -

I agree with Quest to an extent.

World of Warcraft, for example, isn't a very large text-based game. You wouldn't be reading a
whole lot unless you're speaking with other in-game players through in-game methods (type chat).

However, many players of WoW do play together using various chat programs (team speak, ventrillo,
etc.). If you're looking to improve your speaking and listening as well, and already have a decent
level of Mandarin, then playing with a group (guild) of WoW players might be a good idea.

HI Seeker,

I have a good french friend who lives in Paris but likes to play WOW on chinese servers, one it
helps her chinese and two it is cheaper than European or US servers.

They have a clan aswell I think, but I can't remember the website off hand. You can do a search.
It is pretty cool.
have fun,
SimoN
