Did you ever try the Shining Force games on the Megadrive? Those were great games, tactical turn-based combat at its best with an engaging storyline. Worth playing on an emulator if you get the chance, they are defiently a part of RPG history. I think some sequels came out for the later Sega consoles but I had grown out of consoles by then.

yes, and i still own all 3 in mint condition. missing scenario II & III of III though. stupid regions. GREAT games though none-the-less!!! also, the ps2 recently released another shining force. i WILL get it will it cums down in price.

someone also mentioned phantasy star. those were the sega dragon warrriors. notice, i didn't say final fantasy... i still own all 4 phantasy star games also. mint condition. i have phantasy star online I, II & III too. phantasy star is GREAT. phantasy star II was BEST! III was dogshit. remake of I should be cummin' out sometime.. sega? be nice for a V though...

Tell me do you turn-based RPG players go through the entire game before realizing it's dogshit or stop at least a quarter of the way through?

Just wondering since these game are quite lengthy.

i haven't really loved a turn-based RPG since Phantasy Star II, which WAS brilliant for its time. that game made every single turn-based NES RPG look like a pile of dogshit, not only because of the graphics but everything from the music to the story etc etc etc. Nei's death and the ending where the hundred dudes rush out, the screen fades to black, and the dudes rip your characters' arms off and beat them over the head with their own arms until they die and you're like "WTF WHY ARE YOU KILLING MY GUYS, WE JUST FUCKING SAVED THE GALAXY FROM MOTHER BRAIN"... that freaked me out to no end. i was 12 years old, it was very dramatic.

i only completed one more turn-based RPG after that: the first Final Fantasy Game Boy game which was really a SaGa game. i climbed the tower and killed God. it was okay (for a Game Boy cartridge), but it was no PHANTASY STAR II.

i tried Final Fantasy 8, but after only 1 or 2 dream sequences i figured out that it was a pile of highly polished, extremely old-fashioned dogshit.

i bought Shining Force II for 5 dollars at a game shop recently, then sold it on eBay for $30+. the label on the cartridge was in terrible condition too, but apparently those games are in high demand. i've heard that the Shining games are supposed to be good, but yeah. i don't have the patience anymore. they did make sequels for GameGear, Saturn, and i believe GBA. but maybe not all of them were released in english.

Erm, you you do realise that people enjoy different types of games from other people? I mean, these types of games are huge in Japan for instance but less successful (but still played by a hardcore minority) in places like USA (sidenote:maybe it's your unconcious hatred of anything un-Amercian that leads you to repeatedly and predictably state your dislike of these type of games...?). Different people want different things from their games. Some would complain that the combat in games like Bard's Tale or Morrowind soon becomes highly repetive.

I really shouldn't have to be explaining this concept to an adult.

..and no one asked you to. ...especially since it had nothing to do with my question. Here we also go again with the American shit. Do you have an inferiority complex or something?

But I'm serious, do you go all the way through an 80-hour epic then go, "This was shit."

I, no doubt, know that RPGs have their place. Not everyone has the skill for an FPS, fighting game, etc. The slower pace and cinematics are an allure for some.

Someone asks about a lengthy game and you go on a dumbass diatribe about whateverthefuck.

What's funny is I was going to get that FF game that someone said plays like KOTOR.

It's not a lack of skill that makes someone not want to play a game. I can complete any FPS I choose to pick up but I can only play the really good ones like Half Life 2 or FEAR without getting bored. Personal taste. You do understand what that means right? People aren't playing RPG's because they are not good enough to play "proper" games.

You should word your questions better then. As it stands it is just an attack, it doesn't leave any room for the fact that people enjoy these games it just condemns them. If you get to ask dumbass questions then I certainly get to reply to them with dumbass diatribes.
