I agree, I just don't have the patience for turn based combat anymore.

Time for hype

Turn based is perfection.

Is it really time for this thread again....

As I say in every one of these threads, its not based on the type of gameplay, but how well the gameplay is done. Some games are turn based and do it well, and others are bad. The same goes for Action/RPGs, with some being nothing more than mashing the same button for repetitive sword slashes, while others are complex systems of skills, magic and attacks.

Frankly, some series I could never see as anything but Turn Based. Such as Dragon Quest, Chrono or Paper Mario. And its because they stuck with turn based and evolved it to a point where it became its own thing. But more importantly, its still fun.

i agree, after playing so many turn based RPGs they just got very easy just like the way FPS are now

Damn, discussion finished before I even arrived.  This is all that needs to be said.



I think that 90-95 % games, across all platforms, are becoming conventional, not necessarily antediluvian, just freaking unsurprising.
