[General Discussion] Do RPG's Get Better With Age?

No, they get worse. RIP cartridge batteries.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's an RPG in itself, I guess. Wait wait. This means they DO get better with age, since there's an ALL NEW QUEST to go on! Fuck, entering 'Zelda' as your name on the first Zelda game has nothing on this.

I'm sure in ten years time we'll all be remembering Final Fantasy X and whinging about how good it was compared to Final Fantasy XLV on PlayStation 9, "Remember that emotional laughing scene?! New games have nothing on that!". And when that day comes I'll hopefully be dead.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Which is a genre that depends on its storytelling to be what it is.

This is mostly thanks to tedious big budget FMV clips that rip you out of the game world completely and voice acting done by dead cats pushing the games storyline down your throat these days. No chance to soak up the roll eyes worthy twists and turns for ourselves anymore!
