You should give Dragon Age: Inquisition a try, it's really good, you might find that you like WRPG's after playing it. Fallout, Witcher, KOTOR, and Elder Scrolls are also really good, and Fable was good once upon a time. In some ways WRPG's are better than JRPG's, and vice-versa. I'm happy that I like both.

I've wondered what the differences was between wrpg and jrpg.

JRPG's tend to have better story and characters imo, but on the downside they tend to be more grindy (too much focus on killing enemies to level up) and have lesser graphics, also they often aren't fully voiced. WRPG's tend to have better combat and graphics, but the story's tend to be weaker (especially Bethesda's RPG's).

Couldn't have said it better myself :)

Oh ok. I remember when I played FFXI it took like 6 months to level up one class job to max level with many 12+ hour days of exp grinding. I remember grinding a lot on Infinite Undiscovery too but enjoyed the story on that one.

You guys are lucky for liking wrpgs, those are so long...

I only have like Ori and type 0 to play(and DOA, but that's a fighting game), and of course MCC and SO to clear. I want to be surprised by having gears sooner than expected :P

(I'm sure some indie will come out, but I usually wait for a sale for those)

I'm jealous of you for loving jrpgs so much :( I wish I could enjoy them more than I do. The action ones tend to be good but the turn based ones found in final Fantasy aren't that fun. I did enjoy 7 and 9 though xD. But aren't jrpgs long too? 

Yes, but AAA jrpgs are really rare nowadays! 

Btw, I like turn based above action ones.

I played Fallout3, fable2, mass efect in the past. I can't even tell you the one I dropped more quickly, maybe fallout not sure. So boring, I need a good story to play any rpg, wrpg don't offer me that. 

KOTOR was cool tho, 'cause star wars.

I prefer turn based as well although that's why I haven't played FF12 and beyond that since it got out of that.

I really hope MSFT brings back their games that was in Games on Windows back when they announce whatever on the 21st. Kameo and Viva Pinatas use to be available on PC. Id like to see them go to steam -_-  ANd id really like to buy them again

I'm not even sure what games on windows was. But wasn't it a rival of steam? 

That's why I don't see a positive point in a Xbox unified thing, JP games on steam won't be ported to this Xbox interface imo and XBO will lose all the appeal.

I'd love me4 to be exclusive but I doubt. Best single player series I've ever played. The weekest part of the series was the combat (me3 got up to par to an extent). But with the team behind Inquisition lending a hand in that department they could really elevate this series.

Like I said though doubtful that they could get it exclusive. I'd say they have a better chance of getting the star wars game( knights of the new republic anyone?) As a x1/PC exclusive than getting me4. Probably better too as the team working on it is the Kotor, me1-3 team. And the lowest meta they have gotten in the last 10 years is 92 or 93.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Man if the kill cams are to be believed 343 has to work on the hit detection, it's infuriating wathing the replays.
