Comments on: RPG’s Are Exhausting

Such games are rather controlling, aren’t they? That they don’t give the player a choice to fight or not. I like games that let me run from all my enemies if I so choose. It’s my game, so it should be my business whether I want to level up or not.

What stinks is when those battles line up with the steps take on the map. I remember a time in Pokemon when I was stuck in some tall grass and I had to enter a fight with almost each step on my out. stupid random battle systems…

RPGs are very scary now that I don’t have much time anymore. I have so many that still need playing, and I really don’t want to. But, they’re sitting there…watching me. Always watching.

I have heard so many good things about Xenoblade, but if I ever get my hands on it, it also scares me. I’ve heard it’s a big commitment. Which is terrifying.

Oh, yes, those old Donkey Kong games were great. That’s definitely enough to liven things up. Now that I’m almost done with the newer Donkey Kong on the Wii U, I’m wanting more and more to replay the originals. Jumping on crocodiles never gets old. Being interrupted by ten random battles before I’ve walked twenty feet does. It gets old fast.

That’s what’s funny about RPGs, only kids have time for them, but often times, only adults can really understand them. I, too, have to cycle between different genres. I don’t want to give up RPGs, but I don’t wish to spend months inching through one game, either. I’m currently working on KH2 Remix right now, though, and that’s an RPG I can spend lots of time on. It depends on the game, too, I suppose.

My ideal game is about 20-30 hours. Zelda is perfect. Not too short, not too long, and I’m actually allowed to walk past enemies without the fear of not being leveled up enough. I’m getting tired of RPGs at this point and have finally decided I might want to sell the ones that aren’t as good. Final Fantasy XIII will be the first to go. 100 hours of watching my characters fight completely on their own? I think once was enough. Just the mere thought of replaying it makes me queasy.

I love adventuring games, but I like being able to just play the darn thing. In RPGs, you’re constantly interrupted by random battles, making such games long and tedious. I like games like Zelda where you can run past enemies if you choose and boss battles don’t take hours. RPGs just get tiring after a while. And I still have a bunch that need playing, I just can’t do it….

I also agree, RPGs do eat up a lot of time. I agree, but I still love them… I tend to mix mine with casual games and platformers, so that when I feel the exhaustion comes on I can take a break and relax hopping on heads lol.
I’ve been thinking and what I believe I’ve come up with is that RPGs are better for children with low budgets and very few games. most of us are adults with jobs that don’t allow for as much time for gaming so when we have time its best to have a short lived rewarding experience that does make you feel like you’re racing against something.

Seeing a normal game on the shelf? Eh I can whack that out every now and again. See a RPG on a shelf? oh god it wants my life dedicated for weeks if I’m ever going to get my moneys worth.
