They have complex rulesets that the player must learn, highly strategic gameplay, lots of micromanagement. You have to think and plan about what skills, stats, abilities, equipment and character builds you use in order to survive Games like Oblivion and Mass Effect are watered down product for gamers who lack the mental acumen or patience to play a real WRPG. No substance at all. I laugh at people who think JRPGs are any more difficult than WRPGs. That has never really been true, and it's definitely not true in this day and age of mainstream gaming. Shin Megami Tensei is the only exception |
ROFLOL...sure Mass Effect wasn't as complex as the genre can get, but Oblivion...don't know about that. I'm an old skool RPGer, so gimme my pool of radiance type game and I'm happy...I see ZERO appeal in the JRPG genre...none.
