What depth? You can customize stuff in any rpg. It has the same repetitive gameplay through the whole game, you keep doing the same thing through the whole game, what replay value does it have? Just more of the same gameplay. At least in other rpgs I can take a break and do mini games and win stuff. What do you get in D2? The same gameplay. I can do side quest and solve puzzles that change the game. What does D2 have more of the same game play. You are going to bring up kotkeys? Really it doesnt really add much, because your are still doing the same thing over and over and over again. And you ask what games arenât repetitive? Really ? I mean really man. By this logic you must think repetitive games are good.
makes me wonder, people who dont like Jrpgs do nothing but level grind. And donât even bother trying to explore more of the game
Thatâs not even all of it. Thatâs just random stuff off the top of my head, 1/10th of which I doubt you could even understand, AlanEdrick. AlanEatsDicks.
I never said I donât like JRPGâs. Seems you missed my post where I praised a bunch of them.
Comes back to thread after a self imposed exile and sees mostly butthurt nerds telling other people their opinions are wrong
Some things never change. The problem with most gamers, especially the vast majority of people in here is that you guys cling so tightly to preconceived notions of what a game should be rather than thinking of what they could be so you guys instantly judge games before even attempting to objectively evaluate and play them yourself. Even when all your biases and prejudices are blatantly on display most of you still deny they exist and then wonder why a few of us condescend to you. It would be nice if gamers were mature enough to judge games based on how competently they delivered on their premises, rather than on what the actual premise is, but most gamers are lured by the temptation of stereotyping whether itâs justified or not (âoh that developer is making it? must be GDLKâ, ânew game x isnât like old game y? lol itâs assâ, âthis game didnât need a reboot it will automatically suckâ).
Gets off soapboxâŚman now all you guys will see how short I am
Depending on the game/genre, if the atmosphere and universe is on point then I can be more forgiving if the actual nuts and bolts mechanics arenât as impressive. It really depends on the aim and execution of the game obviously, but a cohesive game in which the characters, art style, sound, ideas, and everything else coalesce together to create an immersing or escapist experience can be just as if not more satisfying than a game that focuses solely on the mechanics at the expense of everything else. The âcinematicâ experience that so many big name publishers/developers seem to chase in an effort to make more money is rarely achieved by them, and more often successfully captured by indie games made with a fraction of the cost however, when a big budget title does achieve that artistic nirvana of the cinematic experience within a game itâs just awesome on a top tier scale that nothing else can match. Which reminds me, the term âinteractive movieâ in reference to a game is as misused and poorly understood as the term trolling. Just because a game has a lot of cut scenes that doesnât make it an interactive movie.
I suspect the truth of my post will incite comments regarding my family, penis size, mental capacity, and sexual orientation which I genuinely welcome so carry on gentlemen.
you said it was one of the best rpgs? Attack rating system? Really this adds what to the game play? Still more hours of clicking and doing the same thing. Enhanced damage? Adds what to do the gameplay? Still more clicking. Mercenaries? Still add more and more hours of the same thing. More clicking and clicking for hours. You havent brought up one thing that adds to the the core gameplay. You do the same thing in every level, look for items, kill stuff. And then over and over. It has some of the most repetitive gameplay ever
oh btw tetris isnt a rpg lol. Why even bring it up
Not seeing how repetition is bad at all. Itâs single-handedly one of the most important things in life and the reason why most of the greatest shit ever invented by man came about.
If weâre talking exclusively to games then you must hate every game.
Besides finding turn based combat boring, another reason Iâve fallen out of love with turn based RPGs in recent years is that most of them especially JRPGs tend to have clunky gear/loot/item/whatever management. The first 3 REâs handled resource management perfectly, why canât most RPGs find the balance between streamlined and rewarding the player willing to go the extra mile.
Also as much as I love ARPGs I hate how most of them copy and paste Diabloâs formula. BioWareâs games, the Souls series, Secret of Mana, and Monster Hunter are all smart fusions of the best of both worlds, but I feel ARPGs have so much more untapped potential. The 2D Dark Souls game titled newgame plus is an example of the innovation Iâm talking about it tweaks the Souls game play mechanics so that it feels both fresh and familiar in 2D. It will have a limited focus on gear, so you only carry what your character can equip and that makes every piece of gear you get more meaningful.
Zoo plays adventure games and thinks the God of War series is the best action hack and slash games around. He is also a midget IRL and believes in religion. These are facts, and I canât take an opinion of someone seriously after knowing them.
Zoo does play ST though, this redeems him a bit.
Is it me or has this guy said the same thing for 5+ posts straight, even when people point out his flawed argument?
Bolded shows you lack reading comprehension and donât even have a basic grasp on Diablo IIâs gameplay mechanics. Youâve been talking out your ass for multiple posts now.
man I put zoo on my ignore list, so I dont care what he post. And you are about to be on there also since you cant come up with anything that makes D2 not repetitive. You havent made 1 point that changes anything about D2 gameplay, through the game you keep doing the same thing. Clicking on hours on end. If repetitive games are good Angry Birds should be the greatest game ever right?
Oh wow you changed the combat system just to spend more hours clicking and clicking. Doing the same thing over and over again. You fail as a gamer if you think D2 is one of the best games ever made.
Not exactly a gaming opinion but having someone on your block/ignore list is laughable unless he seriously abuses you as much as the internet can do. If people on the internet bother you that much you might as well make a internet panic room.
Doesnât stop them from being repetitive though since you canât turn a game into a different genre and in the end youâll still be doing what youâve been doing all game.
