[Rant] What's Wrong with Video Games These Days?

Quote:

A game that i was largely depressed with was Final Fantasy XII. I found myself unable to relate to any of the characters, and it seemed like SquareEnix was under the impression that people played MMO's because they liked the battle system.

There is the exact problem with RPG's these days. The new and great way to play the game has left out the meat and potatoes for me.. the STORY. I enjoy a "role playing" game when I feel like I am part of whats going on. Maybe the old turn based games give you more time to enjoy, idk. But the new battle systems are just that... more to learn more to distract from what made some of the old games great. I can only talk about RPG's other genres are geared for fighting and tactics but as to whats wrong with games these days. They forget the role playing aspect that gamers had enjoyed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
