| oldschoolfool said: I've never been into rpg's,but even i've noticed the lack of rpg's this gen. The only big ones I can think of are final fantasy and the fallout and skyrim type games. Sure there's the japan type rpg's,but I think they've become a very niche thing. The western rpg's seem to be somewhat more popular. I love fps and open world games,but it seems that's what the vast majority of games are these days. The only rpg type games I've gotten into were the kingdom heart games. Do you think there will be more rpg centric games next gen? are rpg games becoming a thing of the past? I'm not an expert when it comes to rpg's,but it just seems like there not nearly as popular as they used to be? I've been thinking about this for along time.Please,help me understand the decline of the rpg's. |
Are they really more popular?
Outside of Bethesada and Bioware WRPGs, none of them are very popular. Only other one I can think of is The Witcher.
And most of those WRPGs have heavy emphasis on gameplay elements that tie them closer to FPS or TPS than RPGs.
