Editorial: Evolution of RPG's - Gamers Don't Want an End?

From Pool of Radiance to Secrets of the Silver Blades to Final Fantasy, the RPG had a final boss or stage and often had some type of level cap. Today, gamers don't want it to end, they'd rather have the option to wonder around aimlessly or completing minor quests in order to soak up every ounce of money they spent on the title.

Do you like your RPG's to have a definite end and a high but capped level, or would you rather a game go on forever?

Actually, i believe its the opposite... thats what makes RPGs great is their endings (Or suck)... like FFX, FF tatics, FF7... all had great endings... other rpgs ahve piss poor stories and endings (Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 3) so having the ability to play after beating it can keep some people around for it...

JPRGs aren't real roleplaying games - you're just playing someone else's story. You can't change the story one whit.

Deus Ex, now that was a true RPG that had real meaningful endings.

@JonahFalco,

nwhether you play as someone else story or your own you assume the role, that's all it takes

JonahFalcon5993d ago

If I wanted an immutable story which I couldn't change because the author wants it only one way, I'll read a book or watch a movie.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro67d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher75d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy75d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster75d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot75d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal75d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast75d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
