[General Discussion] RPG hype getting the better of you

Hmmm...

Xenosaga - With all the hype, I really got bored within the first hour or so. I just couldn't play it to completition...or for a reasonable amount of hours given the amount I paid for it.

Final Fantasy VIII - I played it for two hours and found it uninteresting. Granted, I really digged FF6 and FF7, and this game was an attempt at something new. Maybe if I gave it more time, I would have really enjoyed it. I kept hearing/seeing all the hype but honestly it didn't hook me in like other games.

Legend of Dragoon - I heard all the hype. People were giving it the sleeper RPG hit of the year. I played it and...was...bored...by...it. I tried to give a go, but I just couldn't get into it.

Dragon Warrior II and up but especially VII - I am going to focus on VII here although this is for DW in general. Don't get me wrong, I played the first one, and I beat it. However, people give it a super amount of hype when it honestly is...boring. I literally brought together all the coins I had in my coin jar to buy Dragon Warrior VII and played it maybe two hours. I really have tried to get into DW, and I can't figure out why I can't.


Megavolt: Cool quote. I think I'll keep that and use it from time to time concerning preferences.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
