Rpg's, i just don't get them....
I never really owned any RPG's because they didn't appeal to me. I remember my friends as they played Resident Evil and sunk 4 hours per day for 3 weeks into this game. Stupid things like they must "find the key to open the car to get the wrench to fix the hose to put out the fire so they can get accross". Talk about a mouth full.
Anyway, I thought those games were ridiculous and just a waste of time. I can't play a single game that much unless I REALLY like it. I read reviews about how great some of these RPG's and Strategy games are, so I figured I'd try one.
I downloaded Shining Force III. I was basically hoping that it would be a game with action. So after I "strategize", I could go kick some a$$. But that wasn't the case. To my disappointment, all you do is assign the attack and it plays a little clip of you attacking. That is stupid! It isn't fun at all. Not only do I have to sit through boring dialogue, but I can't even fight because the game does it for me. I was hoping there would be some cool action sequences, boy was I wrong. If any of you know a good RPG where you control the action, let me know. Something like Zelda was for NES. You have to think, but you constantly get to fight. Now that is the way I think RPG's should be. I'd like to find one that I can enjoy.
Due to my dislike of RPG's, I can't consider myself a "gamer". I don't sit and play for hours trying to figure out some game. I'd rather find a friend, play him in a Fighter, and be done. I also love sports games. Shooting games are cool too. I just don't like RPG's, though this probably makes me an outcast to the rest of you.
If you know any good NON-RPG games, let me know(fighters, sports, shooters, adventures, etc.). And if you know any RPG's that are action filled, please let me know as well. I'd like to enjoy a RPG, but I am wondering if I can.
Kind of off topic, but has anyone ever played NHL Breakaway 98 for Saturn? I have been looking for this game for a long time now, and am wondering if it is worth it. If you ever played it before, can you give me a small review? I am a huge hockey fan but am looking for an Arcade-style hockey game that is just flat out fun. I am not looking for realism, just fun.
