| Shameless said: Why does everyone love JRPGs so much? The stories suck, the gameplay has never changed in 10 years.. I really don't see why FPS games get criticised for being too generic or too many when JRPGs are exactly the same. |
Why do people like platformers? All you do is jump around and kill things! People have been doing that since Mario!
Why do people like first person shooters? All you do is shoot things!
Why do people like sports games? All you do is play sports! You could go outside and do that!
Why do people like music games? You could just go sing or play guitar and do the same thing!
I am sorry sir, you fail. Any genre can be reduced to something generic if you try hard enough. Saying that JRPG's haven't changed in 10 years is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard someone say. Hell, even during the PS1 era JRPG's changed a lot from the beginning of the generation to the end.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
