They're awesome. My kids these days play call of duty or candy crush. God forbid they had to read text.
Best DS Game: Black Sigil
1. hero who doesn't know they are a hero finds out they are needed for something.
2. goes on epic journey to solve problem (problem with universe, spirit world etc) most of the time love interest who we are also introduced too will join hero
3. questing insues.
4. other individuals (if it's THAT kind of RPG) will also join with heroes quest.
5. hero finds out love interest may also be a "chosen one" and is a key in making the "problem" happen and is captured by evil to make sure plans happen.
6. Hero goes after evil to save girl and destroy the evil causing the problem before girl is used for evil
7.hero destoys evil. saves girl and universe / world is safe for another day until the sequel.
Tbh there's not a lot different from western and eastern RPGs aside from core gameplay
Had to quote that one.
But when those gameplay differences tend to include a branching story in which one might actually be able to role play vs being told a story about a character wherein you are more or less just along for the ride I am not sure it is handwaved so easily.
I don't consider how the story is told to be gameplay.
Clicking a text box as opposed to watching a scene aren't gameplay differences.
Being able to roleplay is a bit of a joke. If we're talking games like elder scrolls, then sure maybe. Buut I was specifically talking about games like Mass Effect/DA where you're basically a static character who makes a few choices. You can roleplay as them just as well as any jRPG character tbh. Roleplaying isn't a thing in those games.
all `MURICAH gamers care is FIRST PERSON SHOOTER... nuff said
Too much said, your post was shit.
i guess there are plenty of bad jrpgs out there beyond the beyond for example
Was it that bad? I've thought of playing it since I liked every other game that I've played that was made by Camelot (really just the Golden Sun games and the Mario Tennis games on gb and gba), but I've never got around to it.OMFG BEYOND THE BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the first RPG for ps1 that I ever played. I remember being so hyped for it ....32 bit rpg, oh ya baby, just after busting though final fantasy 6 on snes........................oh man was I wrong!
Interesting question. The most obvious thing is "every forum has at least one whipping boy". The kind of topics that, once brought up, will generate a flood of posts that confirm the general trend ruling on said forum. On gbatemp, the ouya is a decent example (seriously: start any thread about it and you'll easily have multiple pages of people making fun and puns about it).
JRPG's are an easy target for many reasons:
-JRPG's have become pretty stale for a long time. Sure, graphics have improved, but what else? I don't play 'em because I personally don't like 'em, and TBH I don't think I've seen ANY proper innovation on that front in about ten years. A friend of mine likes to play Xenoblade Chronicles, but while she's having fun with it, it's clearly nothing that couldn't have been done ten years earlier (save the graphics, obviously...and I'm not even sure about that).
-what's worse: JRPG's USED to be good. If you ask me, the reason why guys like Spoony go on multiple hours on breaking them down is because they think the industry took a wrong turn somewhere and want to point that out (okay, perhaps "no innovation" is a bad choice of words, and should that be "innovation in fields a vocal part of their fans absolutely hate").
