RPGS

[Kugyince]

RPGs, RPGs, RPGs. We cover them all day, everyday on Siliconera. Especially of late, there’s been a pleasant amount of variety in the RPG experiences that the non-Japanese market has been exposed to. We’ve gotten games like Mass Effect 2, Sakura Wars 5, Monster Hunter Tri, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Torchlight and many more.

So, let’s have at it. What kind of RPGs do you like? Story-driven? Character-driven? Battle-driven? Lighthearted? Serious? Tragic? Turn-based? Action-oriented? Massively-multiplayer? Realistic? Stylized? Korean? Japanese? Western? Bare your RPG soul for all to see!

I like them all. Out of all the genres out there, RPGs rule supreme in my book.

Bolded are important to me. The unbolded aren't horrible or anything but they aren't stuff I look for in an RPG.

My number one attribute for an rpg is a nice design of level ups, abilities and equipment. I like dying at some bosses, leveling up a bit, or springing for that new piece of equipment then coming back to beat him. There is nothing like having your attack go from 50 ish to 70 ish.
One thing I find happening more and more these days is that that attacks are too high and everyone's got way to much energy. I much prefer my attacks at the end of the game to be in the hundreds, not the millions. When it gets too high, it get's too hard to track who's doing what amount of damage to who, this is a game killer for me.

Yeah I hate that too. Why do people feel the need to have huge numbers? It must be because some people think it's some how more impressive. I agree it kind of ruins the game for me. I think it comes off as silly.
