What's with the hate for turn based RPGs?

I can't speak for Pokemon since I never played it (when it came out, I was in high school so it's not really my generations thing). But if you look at a game like Bloodborne, I think it brings leveling up into the modern era for the most part. Grinding is still there (mother f%&ker) but, imo, it's easy to get rid of that too if you just pace the boss battles and normal encounters correctly. Alot of times, grinding is just a front for a short game. It's used as a cheap way to make a game seem longer than it really is. So, if you want to fix it, just make a longer game.

Funny you mention grinding is a way to make games longer. You're right. But you can abuse the grinding system to beat the game faster. In Pokemon, if you grind to level 15/20 at the very start of the game. Which X/Y has made that extremely easy now. You can clear the entire game with one Pokemon, in two days.

 

Yeah but you'd better REALLY love battling or else you risk getting sick of the game on day one lol. It's happened to me before.
