New Rpgs : A rant

[Prpl_Mage]

Man, you guys make me wish I played dark cloud 2.
I played the first game when the PS2 was like just released and loved it. Then I had a glimpse of the sequel when passing by a game store.  Didn't get it though since I was kinda into a devil may cry phase. And now there's practically no way to experience it beside youtube videos.

Softmod your PS2 and download that ****.

Sounds weird, and maybe it's why I've stopped RPG Maker and moved to XNA/C++, but now that I've invested time in a few good RPGs, I don't really fancy playing any
more. No matter how compelling they are, they seem to follow the same battle routine. Unless something comes out similar to Paper Mario: TTYD, I won't be playing an
RPG for a while!

A new Paper Mario game for the 3DS is in the works.

[zuhane]

I don't know if I'd buy one just for that though! Seems like the 3DS is going down the shitter!

It's actually been picking up a lot of speed recently, sales-wise, but I'm sure you knew that before you shared your opinion.

Yeah sales went up when they actually released some games for it.

pretty much it comes down to me, not being able to have patience for turn based. I prefer free movement <3

And Nintendo has a pretty solid line-up coming in the future, so that only makes it more successful. Third-party support isn't too bad, either.

When it comes to handheld consoles I prefer the slow or turn based games. I donno, but sitting down in a car, or a bus or a train and having to mash buttons left and right to slay an enemy doesn't sit right with me. I prefer those games that I can leave my eyes off to see my surroundings and turn off whenever I need to.
But for the larger consoles that requires a tv, just throw the speed and challenge at me. A lot of games, especially atb or turn based usually have exaggerated battle animations and overall effects. In both Advance wars and Fire emblem I get kinda sick of those and turn animations off so that I only see them hitting each other on the overmap.

The only game of that type I can handle is Disgaea. :3
Other than that. On my PSP I played Tales of the world, and Birth by sleep.
Both action/running around combat games. :3

Yeah, I donno but the psp have some more action packed games than the DS. I have birth by sleep, 3rd birthday, dissidia and monster hunter that I like to play on it. But I very rarely bring it with me outside the house. It works for those times when you're gonna be spending a few hours on some sort of vehicle though.

Disgaea is the epitome of RPGs! Almost played Disgaea as much as TF2... which is a lot... a real lot!

Grid based/tactics based RPGs are usually fun, and disgaea's animations and humor are what kept me playing.
General turn based combat games I can not play.

[zuhane]

I liked Disgaea because it really did emphasize how you could take different approaches to levels. You could exploit a weakness, train a character, completely remould a character to fit
the situation, or just use pure tactics to beat someone 1-2000 levels above you!
