though terranigma had a crap ending, everything else was god tier
Oooh, another one for me. I donât like the writing in DA: O and Mass Effect. I love the directing, the production values, voice acting and all that, but not really the writing. Itâs not bad, but itâs not really good.
Witcher > DA: O and ME.
Best characterization I can think of in recent memory Iâll give to either Geralt of Rivia (Witcher) or Neku (TWEWY). 
Oh, and Blazblueâs kind ofâŚboring.
Grass and dungeons with everyone kitted out in medevil gear beating up goblins ect.
To be fair a lot of JRPGs are guilty of the same thing.
its pretty unfair to say all jrpgs are the same, when you have turn based rpgs, action rpgs, mmorpgs, and tactical rpgs
Wheres an action JRPG that not Secret of Mana, or Zelda? And wheres a J-MMORPG?
WRPG = action , mmo, tactical
JRPG = turnbased, tactical(which amounts to turnbased)
And Dragon Age and Oblivion are not the ONLY WRPGâs.
Take all the CG scenes from a JRPG, put them on a disc in the order they happen in the game, and viola, you have the full experience of said JRP, minus the possible frustration of a final boss with 0394787978698467893568756 HP.
Yes action jrpgs are like
Secret of Mana
Terranigma
Threads of Fate
Kingdom hearts
Star Ocean
Stuff like that most people wont call zelda games rpgs, more like action fantasy.
I get what youâre saying. It was a pretty drastic change from the established method. My biggest gripe is that they needed a better way to change Camo on-the-fly. Going into your Survival Viewer every 90 seconds really took me out of the game.
Oh, come on that was barely a game! The secret bosses took some strategy, but I just mashed my way through the final boss battle. I couldnât even make out what it was and I didnât care, I just kept mashing buttons and completed the game.
Love people who have the audacity to say when a game isnât actually a game. Good show.
So you say itâs broken as fuck while saying it has a good engine. Wouldnât it be considered a bad engine since that is all encompassing.
I liked the game mechanics a lot (RCs, Burst system, meter management, Barrier bursts.) I liked it a lot as far as the looks, and asthetics. I just donât like how that game only has 12 characters and 3 are well above the other 9.
WRPGS are not rpgs because they donât insert random element that you find in jrpgs
JRPGS are not rpgs because they donât insert random element you find in wrpgs
It seems pointless to argue about, if you like one more than the other thatâs fine. Trying to convince someone that apples are better than oranges is kind of stupid. Itâs just preference.
Oo I have a random thing to add: Puzzle Quest was not that great. Or at least, I didnât enjoy it that much. As a puzzle game it was fine but trying to mash it together with rpg elements just felt clumsy and awkward. If the stars aligned right you could win fights you shouldnât or vice versa, but the games could be very random.
Shooter games have a lot of variety and many of them have unique, creative concepts. Itâs a shame some people canât just play something and enjoy it for what it is rather than thinking it somehow cuts into their style of gaming. People who say there are too many shooters or that they havenât changed at all donât really know what theyâre talking about.
Liking a game other than madden or halo does not make you a âhipster f****tâ and people who say so are idiots.
You like BB CTâs burst system aka turning someone with a glass jaw to paper? âHey Ragna, you donât die fast enough. So how bout you die faster?â
i donât even play JRPGS outside of stupid ass casual Final Fantasy. Like I donât know if JRPGs are dead or Western RPGs are in a renissaunce or any of that shit. All I know ifs you where acting like you where an 8 year old throwing a tantrum because you have a different opinion on the tage of a game genre. I donât know shit about RPGs so take your assumptions about my knowledge of them and sove it up your ass you 8 year old.
P.S. I didnât put any thought into calling you an 8 year old and i am well aware of this. It was the mentality of the posts you where making that made think âGee this sounds like it was banged out by an 8 year old.â Thatâs all. i wasnât even trying to insult you. I was simply pointing out that you come off like an adolescent. Your hostile response to me pretty much proves my point even.
Oh yeah, that reminds me of another of my unpopular opinions:
Universal âactivate to GTFO out of a comboâ mechanics feel stupid and tacked on just to justify the existence of looooooong, lightly-scaled combos that do amazing damage.
I donât think theyâre meant to justify the existence of them, but more meant to be a counter to them. You never have the testing capabilities that you get when the game finally gets released. The entire job of players in fighting games is basically to be QA and learn everything about it. Of course theyâre going to find bugs and glitches and infinites.
Thatâs probably more or less what you meant anyway, sorry if this comes off as needlessly argumentative XD
my mentality of posting on srk has never changed, cause its only the internet, I take on a personia, which is different then the way I act in real life, if you think I was throwing a tantrum, then you really are a fool. I wasnt even mad, just trying to make a point, cause that makes you a 8 year old also for making a point.
Personias are awesome.
Although I agree, you canât take the internets seriously. No reason not to be yourself, however.
Lulz thatâs a minish cab troll! I have to hold back the defense team. :sad: Kurt Zisa was hard!

Thatâs a great article on RPGs in general. Dude is a dick and talks a lot of stupid shit but he got that one right. Wall of text, though.
