Definitely a real-time RPG. Nothing better than having an active battle where you have to be on your toes for any unsuspecting monsters who have the nerve to interfere.

Action RPGs are a close second. I love the tales and star ocean series.

Of course the other genres are all great, those two are just my favorites.

This in only my opinion

Traditional Turnbased RPG (eg Final fantasy series, Dragon quest series)
Pros: Menu base, easy to learn, usually has epic stories, lots of unlockables,sidequests. large worlds

Cons: Gets repetitive, mostly lacks character exclusives (you know, characters can be easily replace, sorry for bad explanation ) usually battle takes too long, and the most famous, ENORMOUS random encounters back in the days, still use today, for hardcore gamers. and requires too much grinding.

Strategy RPG (eg Final Fantasy tactics, Disgaea, Advance Wars)

Pros: Easy to learn but hard to master, some has great storylines, gives challenges to the player bec it requires strategies, Usually has wide customizations of characters/units.

Cons: Sometime too hard and requires to much grinding with one battle takes to long to finish. some has epic-fail stories,

Action RPG (Tales of series, The world ends with you)

Pros: Battle system is so fun, usually not just button smashing, not-always to make some grinding, has good to epic stories. ARPG's battles are not always in Random

Cons: Sometime gets repetitive.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
