RPGs

Remember when I said that I had some stuff planned like a Fragadacterlops: Dawn of War 2 ? Yeah well, fuck that, I don't feel like doing it anymore. Instead I will rant about RPGs.

Am I the only person who actually liked the traditional turn-based JRPG combat? It seems nowadays every fucking RPG has to be either a full-on Action game with a level/experience system or have a bastardized pseudo-turn based system. Don't get me wrong, a good Action RPG can beat out full on JRPGs on my list, the entire Kingdom Hearts series is high on my list of favorite games... except 358/2 Days, that one blew chunks, but when it's almost impossible to find a normal turn-based RPG to play I can't help but feel that  the JRPG genre is dying. Of course in the future we'll be getting magnificent releases like Persona 5, but until then I'm stuck with games like Blue Dragon for the 360, a decent RPG if only because of Akira Toriyama and Nobuo Uematsu, and the god-awful timing combat of Lost Odyssey, I loved Lost Odyssey but the combat made me cry tears of blood. Final Fantasy 13 was a great game on its own merits as well, and the combat worked fantastically, it was quick and visual while still keeping the core of the ATB in tact. People around the world need to realize that a game doesn't need to be adrenaline pumped to have a fun battle system.

To end this mini-rant I'd like to thank my new follower for deciding to join me here on "Let's Listen to a bitter Man complain that that things aren't like he wants them to be". If either of you have comments about this subject feel free to leave them, I'd love to hear what you guys think.
