| Topic | So, Should We Stop Saying JRPG? (The Jimquisition) |
| SKARDAVNELNATE 03/11/23 3:32:51 PM #7: | The distinction between genres doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Is Metroid a side-scroller? It's 2D, you often move to right, and there are defined areas. But also you can move to left, revisit areas you've been to, and go to areas you don't have a need to visit. So is Metroid an open world game? Or does it contribute to define it's own genre? Are Final Fantasy, Diablo, and Dark Souls the same type of game? They each rely heavily on stats and abilities. But one has menu driven turn based combat and has random encounters as you move around an overworld. Another has large groups of enemies that you fight in real time. And the 3rd deals mainly in small encounters that emphasize player skill. They each have their own distinctions but just happen to use RPG mechanics. --- No locked doors, no windows barred. No more things to make my brain seem SKARD. Look at Mr. Technical over here >.> -BTB ... Copied to Clipboard! |
