More ironic is that it's been claimed game of the year because of its RPG elements. Note I haven't played through much of any Fable, I thought the combat in the first was horrid so I haven't bothered with the series and am just going by the media and what my friends have told me about the game. |
GTA4 got game of the year and also is a subpar game.
Now, everyone says WRPG's have bad gameplay mechanics, maybe. But it's not like JRPG's are refined either. I mean Final Fantasy (despite it being my favorite franchise) has fairly mediocre mechanics. There's pretty much a way in everygame to break the battlesystem where 99.9% of your enemies aren't a threat. They're easy and too many spells/abilities are redundant. I find a lot of the flaws similar between the 2.
Demon Soul's, SMT, etc are pretty sound mechanically, but to say WRPG's aren't mechanically sound when you've played a few WRPG's is silly.
Xenoblade and FFX12's Battle systems are very similar to Kotor/Dragon Age, with skill trees.
