Back then I could get into the story and so on, but these days they just seem so stupid for the most part, and so time consuming. I like to play games that are fun in short bursts and these always seem to want you to be dedicating your entire day to them. Totally moved on a long time ago. --- This is my signature <cite>jayj350 posted [p:888111112] in JRPG's are...

Balrog0 10/09/17 2:52:52 PM #7:	yeah, same, but I feel like that is definitely a time constraint thing like I started playing Vay for the Sega CD a few weeks ago after work and I played for maybe 2 hours... but it was mostly grinding and cut scenes. By the time I had gotten through the first dungeon/cave, I had to go take care of things like laundry, dinner, cleaning etc and every time I think about picking it up again I just think about that. Will I be able to progress to the next real event? What if I forget wtf I'm supposed to be doing between game sessions? What's the point if I only grind today? whereas I can play Windjammers or some fighting game and the experience won't be different whether I play for 10 minutes or 10 hours --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:888111393] in JRPG's are...

What's the point if I only grind today? whereas I can play Windjammers or some fighting game and the experience won't be different whether I play for 10 minutes or 10 hours I am exactly the same lol. I grew up playing video games and still love having video games, but it seems like these days my collection is centered around games that I know I can enjoy in short bursts, and games like JRPG's have been heavily sidelined by me. Every time I try to get into them I just seem to get bored with that feeling of grinding away, and the dialogue that I used to enjoy as a kid now feels so corny and contrived. It feels like trying to watch the kind of cartoons you used to enjoy as a kid when you have grown up and moved on in a sense, and the time dedication needed for playing them just doesn't do it for me anymore, I hate it when a game wants me to sit down all day to play it. These days I seem to be really into arcade style games when it comes to my classic gaming, I have been loving the ACA and neo-geo games lately for that reason and I really enjoy playing old shoot-em-ups and the occasional Mario game and so on, those games are perfect for how I like to play games these days. As far as modern games go, it seems like racing games and sports games have been my main go-to. I still try to stay into other genres I used to love, but I notice myself spending most of my time playing those kind of games when it comes to modern gaming. So many genres were better than they are now, but sports and racing still seems to get better. Action games are once in a while cool, but I don't gravitate to them as much as I used to. --- This is my signature <cite>jayj350 posted [p:888111910] in JRPG's are...

I don't know what it is but that console had some crazy good support for them. I still have quite a few obscure Japanese imports that I always intended to buy. fwiw if you wanna save some cash you can just make a JP XBL account, download them, and they will work just fine as long as they are region free downloads (muchi muchi pork download is only like 20-30 bucks, significantly cheaper than a physical copy of it) as for why the 360 was shmup haven, sony practically didnt want arcade games on the ps3, basically told cave, moss etc to fuck off --- http://i.imgur.com/7PDx6Ff.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WStMw87.gif http://i.imgur.com/aer0vok.gif https://i.imgur.com/XGlw6Ii.jpg <cite>ManSpread posted [p:888116040] in JRPG's are...

I still play tons of video games. RPGS of all types being my favorite genre. I have noticed I don't have the patience I used to have though.</quote> Yeah, with me actually growing up I have less patience with some game and dont like investing so much time into RPGs as much anymore because of how big of a time vampire they can be. Its why I've been playing shmups more and more lately. Most can be cleared in 20-30 minutes and have very visible progression as far as demonstrating player skill.</quote> Yeah exactly. It's why I love the old arcade games, great skill challenges that can be played in short bursts.</quote> get DARIUSBURST if you havent holy FUCK that game has an an unreal amount of replay value</quote> Oh yeah, there was no way I could pass that one up. I even got the DLC when it went on sale. It's a nice tribute of the genre.</quote> i splurged on these last month, highly recommended </quote> Yeah the 360 is a treasure mine for shoot-em-ups for some reason.

Didn't know Sony was so anti-arcade back then.

Back then I could get into the story and so on, but these days they just seem so stupid for the most part, and so time consuming. I like to play games that are fun in short bursts and these always seem to want you to be dedicating your entire day to them. Totally moved on a long time ago. And yet you keep bringing them up. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6xlumGoB3A <cite>RedZaraki posted [p:888117226] in JRPG's are...

Makeveli_lives 10/09/17 4:49:10 PM #27:	Persona 5 is the only rpg I've beat in like 5 years. Witcher 3 aside, rpgs today are too full of bs to worth putting in the time to get to the good stuff.

Yeah it's why I only seemed to enjoy Diablo 3 and Skyrim when it comes to modern RPG's. They just let you do whatever you want, more of an open world than a story. Games like Persona 5 are just offputting to me these days. I mean I can appreciate all the effort that goes into it but the entire experience just isn't for me. --- This is my signature <cite>jayj350 posted [p:888118518] in JRPG's are...
