@mina319 that's exactly my point.... I think there is a huge lack of JRPG's these days.....there are plenty of western RPG's and all these shooter hybrids n stuff.....but the traditional JRPG has taken a step back to handhelds rather than home consoles
@uglypinkmoose Mass effect is an rpg, just not a traditional rpg,just like you said "Its widely accepted by OLD SCHOOL rpgs fans" It is a rpg, just a little different from final fantasy, not every game has to be like final fantasy. Same with border lands or fallout 3 there both rpg's just not traditional rpg's
@mina319 those mechanics don't make the game an RPG...It's widely accepted by old school RPG fans that Mass Effect isn't a classic RPG experience...it's a good game sure...but It's a 3rd person shooter with RPG elements... The character shit is awesome...however the game as a whole shares similarities with other genres far more than RPG's...classic JRPG's had tons of character development and story...and the RPG aspect WAS the game...Mass effect isn't an RPG by soul...It's a sci-fi shooter
@uglypinkmoose I guess thats your opinion but for me mass effect has been the best rpg experience I have ever played, its cast characters are the best ever seen Because i care for every single character like there real people and they such interesting characteristics about them I once went back to a recent save that was 10 hours ago just so I can save 1 character, the choices that i had to make were legiltly hard to make and morally complicated like should you cure the krogan genophage,
@mina319 For one those are western RPG's which isn't what there is a lack of.....for another games like Mass Effect aren't amazing RPG experiences....Oblivion is but Mass Effect is just a good game with enough RPG elements to consider it an RPG....there isn't much keeping the game from being good just as a 3rd person shooter if the developers wished it... Also Lost Odyssey is how many years old?....maybe if games like that with decent ratings came out regularly but they don't
@uglypinkmoose ehh, oblivion, mass effect,dragon age, the witcher 2, and lost odyssuey were really good rpg's so this generation has some pretty good rpg's
@uglypinkmoose only game that disagrees with that is Dragon Age, it didn't have the best graphics but was damn well recognized for it's engrossing story and massive amount of choices
crap i kept seeing this game in walmart and i wanted to pick it up but i thought it was a hard ass turn based rpg. I hope they still have it there TT-TT
