Have you played Kotor1 and Jade Empire then? |
I've played Jade Empire. It was alright. I don't HATE WRPGs, they're just second rate to me. I'll still take a WRPG over a shooter anytime, any day. But I just grew up playing JRPGs--they're what made me a gamer. A lot of the younger generations didn't have that opportunity so they've fallen in love with action and button mashing rather than a tear-evoking, cut-scene filled story.

yea since SNES really had a lot of tear evoking cutscenes right?
|
You don't have to be a smart butt. I didn't say anything about SNES having cutscenes. Heck, I realize that--I'm 30 and have been gaming my whole life. I had an Atari and Sega Genesis, etc It was just a casual thing with buddies before I got ahold of FF. That was when I officially quit playing on the PC. The ps2 is over 10 years old now. That makes your current 13 year old teenager that loves his shooters and gore filled action games a little too young to remember a lot of the games that I played when I was in high school.
Eitherway, it doesn't matter. I enjoy the WRPG to a degree--but I'll always prefer JRPGs. Different strokes for different folks. Good for those that like WRPGs better--it doesn't matter to me--just putting my own opinion out there.

Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion and tastes not everyone will like every genre(I hate horror games!). Just like Ragebot hating Kotor is fine. However not every game is about story some are also about the funfactor! Since if that was the case the Wii would be doomed~~. And shooters are actually quite fun too:)
|
I realize that. I like other genres too. Rock Band for one--I'm top 500 in the world on guitar. I'm just saying that I personally don't like shooters and that I prefer JRPGs over WRPGs. And I feel that part of that is my generation--we grew up playing different games than the younger generation like my 10 & 12 year old nephews. Not a big deal, but I still find that my FAVORITE type of game PERSONALLY--is one that is heavily story driven. I didn't say that others need to agree.

Remember tho, consoles are also a hell of a lot more popular now than when you were growing up (Im in that generation as well). If you had a console, you were introduced into the world of JRPGs. If you did not, you played WRPGs on the PC. Games like Dragon Wars, Wizardry, Stone Keep and Bards Tales come to mind. I personally prefer JRPGs as well (I probably love Anime more than any other form of entertainment) but that does not mean I do not love my WRPGs as well.
