I'm so tired of mundane game worlds and characters

Game worlds and concepts have become stale lately...developers need to explore something new.

NagaSotuva4525d ago

I find hope in indie games.

SybaRat4525d ago

I vote up the "genies with bazookas" thing. Now THAT'S a summon.

aquamala4525d ago

what's with western devs all making fantasy games with the same kings, elves and dwarves, create your own universe and mythology please.

HardCover4525d ago (Edited 4525d ago )

What, you don't remember Too Human? Well, nobody else does, so I guess that's not a surprise.

SockeyBoy4525d ago

haha i actully enjoyed Too Human, I still want a number 2!

How did I know before clicking on this that it would somehow come back to JRPGS and the such.

Author is just butthurt that there hasn't been a good JRPG in while, I can't blame him, but honestly...

SKYRIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

that is all.

DaveMan4525d ago

Article Author obviously has't played Skyrim.

Hicken4524d ago

Skyrim, despite being a great game, is STILL part of that stereotypical Western fantasy world, which the author believes is getting stale. Hell, it's based in the same world as the rest of the Elder Scrolls games, so it can't be THAT different from the others, which contain the orcs and so forth.

I agree that the imagination is going out of gaming when it comes to worlds. But I think a lot of that has to do with just how many games there have been. It's hard to make a game in a world that someone else hasn't already made before.

mamotte4524d ago

It has ogres, elfs, swords, the world is a normal place (mountains and rivers and stuff), and some of the biggest enemies are dragons. Original, that's for sure...

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj209d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog208d ago (Edited 208d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan208d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack208d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj209d ago

phoenixwing208d ago

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.

GotGame818239d ago (Edited 239d ago )

I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!

Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.

gleepot208d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.
