They don't want to sit through some long cutscene or use a battle-system that requires thought, they just want to play GTA and kill some bitches, or play CoD and call the other team bitches. Half the time, if a game isn't multiplayer, they don't even look at it. This isn't only happening with JRPGs, it's already happened with adventure games and "hard-core" computer (aka "western") RPGs. In fact, it seems that every genre is being dumbed down in some way. It's not a matter of JRPGs not evolving, it's that everything else is devolving. /rant. |
You shouldn't need to be patient to enjoy video games. Cutting the crap (like a forced story, or needlessly time consuming game mechanics) out of games and focusing on the fun is a positive thing, I'd say.
Also, I still think there aren't enough good multiplayer games nowadays. Need more...
