Doesn’t explain how click click clicking is any different from mashing down the attack command every fight.
diablo 2’s game play is pretty much the same as it is in every level. Every act, pretty much has the same gameplay, talk to a npc then go out of town kill monsters. No puzzles, no mini games, like 1 side quest which takes hours to do if you solo it, and gives a meh reward cause its random. Enemies and bosses take no skill what so ever to beat. In other rpgs you have to have some strategy and know which spells or what ability’s to use. There really not much thinking to do in diablo 2, just spend hours hoping some rare gear will drop, level up skills. In a good rpg, it doesnt matter what level you are, take example chrono trigger were some boss have to be beaten a certain way.
If you think mashing attack is going make you win in jrpgs Id like to know which jrpgs you are playing. Enemies and bosses in diablo 2 are completely mindless. And really takes no kind of strategy to beat them. Diablo 2s game play is always the same, were other rpgs you do more then just the main quest. Its like those people who think GTA series is the best shit ever. Even doing all the quest still has the same damn gameplay.
I don’t remember the last time I used any strategy in an Jrpg not counting Super bosses and I’ve played them ranging from Nes-Ps3.
Alan just described ever RPG ever lol.
you must have not beaten any good jrps in your life sorry for you man or crotchpuncha. The enimins in d2 are retarded, its so easy to get them stuck in walls and other non sense like that.
Have you ever beaten chrono trigger? Cause there are some bosses that have to be beaten a certain way. Unlike D2 you just need to spend hours hoping to get good drops from monsters.
Yes go up to the Guardian boss and attack him with out attacking his bits, see what happens. Attack Heckran with out magic see what happens. Fight Flea with no heals see what happens. Fight Azala & Black Tyrano with no strategy see what happens. Fight Mud Imp, Blue Beast, Red Beast and see what happens when you have no strategy. Do I even need to bring up Son of Sun? Fight the last bosses in Dragon quest 4,5,6 with no strategy see what happens. Yes ok the last boss in parasite eve takes no skill or strategy? HAHAA. Now you guys are just trolling. Have you even beaten threads of fate? No i doubt it. Do I need to bring up Last story?
Do I also have to bring up how many puzzles are in rpgs, when D2 has none. You guys must be playing really boring rpgs. Damn even in legend of legaia you need some strategy to fight bosses, and even that game is repetitive. I could bring up Tactic rpgs but that also would be pointless since they all have strategy’s in each level
-Yoshi’s Island has one of the worst health systems I’ve seen in a platformer, for reasons I already explained in the Mighty N° 9 thread: Mighty No. 9 - Keiji Inafune’s Next Mega Man
-Seiken Densetsu 3 (aka the sequel to Secret of Mana that was never released in the West) is crap. It’s an action RPG that in practice plays like a turn-based RPG due to the ring menu system and overly long spell animations slowing down battles to a crawl. Boring.
-Black Mesa is terrible. The mod has many, many issues that drag it down, but the worst of them is, by far, the marine AI. In the original Half-Life, the marines were fairly mobile enemies that could take many hits, but were relatively innacurate at longer ranges and could not move and shoot at the same time. Their tendency to constantly reposition themselves meant that they were great at flanking the player and the fact that they threw grenades if one hid behind cover for too long meant the player couldn’t simply stay imobile. These particular design choices gave an extremely dynamic and fun run 'n gun feel to the firefights against them. And what did the Black Mesa team do about this ? Well, they basically threw away all these lessons, gave the marines the ability to shoot and move at the same time but made their AI far less mobile, gave them absurd reaction times and extreme aimbot levels of accuracy even at long ranges and decided to call it a day. The end result is that the marines are so absurdly deadly and accurate when the player is not behind cover that the best strategy against them is to simply stay behind a wall and take potshots at them with the revolver, which is the exact opposite of the original Quake 2/Duke 3D-esque run 'n gun feel that the Half-Life developers originally intended. Way to go, Black Mesa developers, you fucking ruined one of most praised aspects of the original game.
That are plenty of other issues related to enemy balacing as well - Ichthyosaurs went from horrifying underwater horrors to wimps that die with a few pistol shots and Vortigaunts have now a much shorter attack start-up animation, making their lightning attack much harder to evade. Also, TWELVE rockets to destroy a chopper, really ???
They also cut half of Surface Tension, which was easily the best chapter of the game. And yet, despite all of these glaring issues, the mod was nearly universally praised by most media outlets ( http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/black-mesa/critic-reviews ), thus making it one of the most overrated mods I’ve ever seen in my life.
-Doom still shits on most modern shooters and even its so called “spiritual sucessors” (Serious Sam, Painkiller, Hard Reset and the Shadow Warrior reboot) when it comes to level and enemy design.
I love RPGs, but really, RPG fans have some of the worst elitism I’ve seen ever and makes so many things unfun
oh you don’t like the classics you suck lol
oh you can’t accept progress in the genre you suck lol
oh you gotta grind items that game sucks lol
oh you gotta grind levels that game sucks lol
oh there’s only one way to beat that boss it sucks lol
oh there’s so many ways to beat the boss game too easy lol
oh the graphics are good, must’ve sunk money it sucks lol
oh the graphics are shit they didn’t spend on presentation it sucks lol
oh they refined the game so it’s too similar to the last it sucks lol
oh they stuck to the same old formula why don’t they take risks it sucks lol
oh they didn’t include a japanese voice track they don’t love the fans lol
why did they include a japanese voice track i speak english lol
repeat ad nauseum
Also The World Ends With You is the best.
All that is on Gamefaqs my goodness lol. I doubt some people are like in real life, just dudes love to bitch about games online.
I used to love RPGs but nowadays I feel like they’re wasting my fucking time every chance they get.
I started out video games with basic platformers and action games like Giana Sisters, Super Mario Bros., Turrican, Castlevania and R-Type etc.
Shit was hard as fuck and rewarded patience, mechanical skill and reflexes as well as memorizing shit.
There wasn’t really a story to these kind of games back then so you had to make up something in your own head.
You kill a fucking enemy, you get your reward right away and move on to the next problem until the game is beaten.
What do RPG’s do on the other hand?
You solve the same fucking problem 100 times, get a reward, run back to town in order to be able to buy something from it, then you move on to the next problem.
What’s the fucking difference? Yeah the difference is 3 fucking hours.
Now you might say RPG’s offer different endings/decisions and more dialogue and story.
I say fuck that shit!
Just design me an action game or a platformer with a decision junction somewhere in the middle of the game (like in Starfox) that leads to different endings and give me some cutscenes with interesting dialogue in between (like Devil May Cry) and give me a game with a real challenge in between that isn’t just a placebo effect like beefing up your virtual avatar, but rewards my very own self by having mastered or learned the game itself.
Doesn’t matter how good great your character is in fucking Dragon Age, when you start the game from the beginning you will still suck, while everytime I start up Super Mario Bros. 3 and play it with strangers they’re like: “Wtf how are so good at this game?”.
Skill is a real reward in my opinion, while RPG’s use some kind of opiate in order to make you feel good, while actually you’re still garbage and just do the same 3 fucking moves all the time without ever using your brain.
You know I’m not against some kind of avatar progression, as long as the game takes a lot of self taught skill, like Demon Souls/Dark Souls or Bastion are good examples of such games but honestly I can’t bear playing braindead garbage like Final Fantasy or Fallout 3 anymore.
thats why when I play rpgs, I look for hidden items, so I dont have to level grind. Or know which spells to use on bosses. If you like the world ends with you, you’ll like The Last Story, mostly cause they focus a lot on the characters, story, and action. Though its only on nintendo Wii. It does not even feel like a wii game. Wrath of the white witch is also other action rpg, like tales of series, which also focuses on the characters. You really do not need to level grind in this game, its better to know when to defend and which familiars to use, it also has the alchemy pot from dq8. If you like making your own items
Is saying that the Sega Saturn was an amazing console an unpopular opinion?
It was the dream console for FG enthusiasts back then.
So many great memories of playing SFA, SFA2, KOF’95, XMEN, MSH, etc
Not to mention all the great shooters.
And Panzer Dragoon Zwei, what a great game!
A shame that the Saturn never got a port of Super Turbo. Capcom released it for the 3DO, but the 3DO joystick was so awful for fighting games…
it depends japan saturn>US saturn. Saturn in japan had such good releases, they should have brought them over here. Not to mention they had some of the best fighting games. Its kind of their own fault for not bringing them over here, people loved Alpha 3, Xmen vs Sf, Vamp sav. Back in the day.
AlanEatsDicks is actually ShogunZ 2.0. He will completely ignore posts that shit on his argument(or he doesn’t understand them) then he goes back to saying the exact same shit for 10 posts straight.
Dude also has to edit every post he makes, because he’s actually only typing with one hand. The other is busy jacking it to his favorite JRPG characters.
Titanfall=Halo of Duty…and it will save the Xbone…kinda.
Titanfall=on PC and getting a PS4 release.
Section 8 games=Titanfall on current-gen.
Really? I thought it was going to be Xbone exclusive.
Well then, that being the case NOTHING will save the Xbone.
There are people reporting that the Xbone’s OS is extremely buggy(crashes often) and that the multiplayer framework for the console is also fucked, all 1 month before release. GGPO.
And this has what to do with gaming? Just cause you are mad you cant prove D2 is not repetitive you have to come with with name calling? You still live with your mom dont you?
Your mom would be in the front row at the funeral in hysterics if that were to happen.
post more youtube comments faggot that have nothing to do with gaming. When are you going to prove D2 is the best rpg ever, cause so far you havent made 1 single good point. If you really like super repetitive games then you should just play some Iphone games.
The only thing you have proven is d2 fanboys are fucking idiots, maybe just as bad as DSP fanboys
