| xJbownagex said: With pretty much my only exceptions being Earthbound, and Pokemon X, I prefer action RPG's. Reasons listed below: -Less grinding -Easier to understand and master -No random encounters -Combat is more satisfying and less tedious -Your level doesn't hinder you as much as it would in a turn based RPG (ex. You're a level 4, but you have the best weapon in the game, so you still have a good chance of winning) This is just my opinion. List yours below! |
Your reasons are not working. Action RPGs can involve grinding, and turn based can be designed to not involve it. There are action RPGs that are hard to understand and master, and easy turn based RPGs. Turn based RPGs don't need to have random encounters and action RPGs can have them. The tedious combat-part is subjective anyways, and as many ways to implement combat in turn-based or in action RPGs I wouldn't generalize on that. And your level can have the same influence in action-based RPGS and in turn-based RGS. All your reason are a question of the design of the particular game, not so much inherent to the different gameplay-styles.
I personally prefer turn-based, while I also like a lot of action-RPGs. You have time to overthink your actions and this way it isn't that stressful. Also you usually can't control a whole party in action-RPGs. I usually prefer action-RPGs that are slow like Xenoblade Chronicles, where you have enough time to plan your actions.
