The Problem with WRPGs

There's a problem with WRPGs that continues to grow with each new release, and most games in the genre tend to fall victim.

A super disorganized article.

I think most of us have run into the issue with selling off loot before you know that it will be important later. It's to the point where I'll just Google "loot to keep in _________" before playing. And it's not exclusive to your typical WRPGs. I screwed up in games like HZD and RDR2 doing this same thing.

To the larger points raised, so far in my playthrough of OW, it's striking a nice balance of open world freedom of Fallout and something more straightforward like Mass Effect. The Worlds are manageable, as are the side quests.

The problem is there isn't enough of them. Way too many JRPGs. Most of which are mediocre.

Segata2069d ago

Or you know plenty of both to satisfy both fans of each genre.

I agree theres too few WRPG's. If I was a fan of JRPG's it would problably be like x-mas every week.

The problem with gaming journalism FTFY.

Without reading the article.

Since PS2 generation, my complaint is always the same. That the font is too small, and unfriendly stats menu design, like reading a newspaper.

I think i made the mistake of giving Mama Murphy too many chems. Because I could never get my settlement past 98% happiness, and it even cost me the Platinum.

MS could compress their games on disc

Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.

jznrpg34d ago

Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim

ActualWhiteMan44d ago

Yeah totally. Definitely won’t be hacking it Nintendo 🤞🏻

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast71d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic72d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee72d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator72d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast71d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
