golden sun is fine, perfectly functional rpgs with excellent visuals and music, decent puzzle dungeons, a cool class customization system, and too many words

The switch sports thing is cool but it makes my Switch overheat and shut down after 15 minutes.

It sure did suck when Nintendo used to have a very mediocre JRPG lineup.

When people criticized Wii Sports for not being realistic enough this isn't what they had in mind.

I mean, most RPGs are a worse DQ.

RPGs are solved. For the best jRPG experience, you got DQ11, for the best crunch you got Divinity Original Sin 2, for the best story you got Planescape Torment, and the best overall experience you've got Baldurs Gate 2. And all of them are on the Switch. There's a reason the console was forged by God himself in the fires of Earth's core.

I wouldn’t call DQ the best it’s the most safe. If you want a simple clean experience that’s what DQ is set up for. If not it can be kind of meh

How much technical cleverness you can put into the combat. So DQ11 has next to none, you have your obvious best buffs and attacks and use them most of the time. DOS2 has you teleporting enemies into tar pits, that you then set on fire, then you explode their corpse to damage their friends whilst your skeleton character walks unharmed through a poisonous cloud to hold back the rest of the mob which are dieing of it.

Neither is inherently better. Some days you want a nice easy time and watch numbers get bigger, and other times you want to fist fight Kasparovs brain.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Golden Sun is fine until you decide to replay it and get annoyed at how loving long it takes to get out of the introduction.

The LP was correct to tear those games a new one.

until you decide to replay it and remember how many empty corridors the game makes you go through multiple times, or the three quests that bring you back deep into the first dungeon, or the quest where a guy asks you to count the chairs in four houses all over the world for some hot sauce, or the dumbass creepo computer, or

Yeah, I’d much rather play Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age and spend 70 hours letting random battles play themselves out automatically in fast forward. Now THAT’S engaging gameplay.

Played Tetris Effect Connected while high (just edibles).

Literally felt trapped during the ending sequence.

It was amazing.

Beforehand, I checked out a bunch of the effect modes, and holy poo poo for a game about Tetris, it definitely has a lot of good modes.

JRPGS are super neat and also horrifically boring and I play all of them for several hours before quitting. I've probably played every mainline Final Fantasy and never beat a single one.


In fact, I think the only JRPGs I've ever beaten are:

Pokemon Blue, Pearl, X, and Sword

Chrono Trigger

Dragon Quest I and XI

I hate mint chocolate chip because I want mint ice cream without chocolate chips in it, which is impossible to find except right before Christmas, why the gently caress can't there be regular mint ice cream all year round?

I'm not sure how this applies to the analogy.
