Is the JRPG/FF run over?

I really don't get these people who say stuff like: "I hate JRPGs so MUCH!! Just thinking about it makes me angry!! I keep playing these FFs and KHs and DQs and they all suck so hard!! AAAARHHG!!!"

You know how many FPSs I've played before I called it a wrap? Two. One of them I sort of enjoyed (Goldeneye) but not enough to play it more than an hour tops, and the other one I put down after playing for 10 minutes (Medal of Honor). That was enough for me. I knew right then and there that shooting things from first person perspective was not my thing. I didn't keep on playing games I knew I wasn't going to enjoy just so I could bash other people for liking them. Because that would be childish and stupid.

So after playing two of the worst games in the genre, you condemn it? Do yourself a favor, play Half-Life (all of them, well maybe not the first). I don't lke shooters muh either, yet Half-Life is my favorite game of all time.

I know some people who would tear you appart for calling Goldeneye "one of the worst in the genre", but whatever...

 

I'll probably try Half Life someday...

The only people I know that liked Goldeneye were people that hadn't played Quake 2 before Goldeneye.

Oh really? I was playing Deathmatches on Quake, Quake 2, Doom 2, Hexen, Heretic and Duke Nukem 3D long before I even played GoldenEye and I still consider GoldenEye one of the best console FPS's and one of my favourite FPS's of all time. Why does playing any of those invalidate the ability to enjoy other games?
