People ridicule turn based RPGs because they generally aren't very popular anymore. A lot of people also don't realize that turn based RPGs are a product of the technical limitations of platforms rather than genuine design decisions.

The thing is theres plenty of people that prefer that "game design" wether game devs came by it freely or forced upon them.

** And this is one of those things that gets spammed alot

(people dont realise my arse, how many times have I seen this line resently?).

 

"turn based isnt liked by anyone, its old and a by producted of times where they where forced due to technical limitations bla bla bla".

Haters gonna hate :p

The opening post of the "What do you think about FFVII:R's battle system?" thread is a perfect example of this attitude

I personally love it. If they had kept the old ATB, it would be a modern gaming joke. The only reason AAA games in the past could get away with it was because they were focused on the cinematic effects of the game. In an age where that's standard, they have to actually be modernized in what is considered good combat- not turn by turn.
