I miss the old rpgs

[XClown1986]

Am I alone in missing the old turn based RPGs that made gaming great for such a long time? I just bought Xenogears on PS3 Playstation store to play because the old RPGs were awesome and that was one I had never played. Seemed like gaming used to be better to me.....

Well it has been proven that attention spans continue to shorten as time goes on and the old rpgs were of the slower moving, but great storyline, variety. Games are much more in your face and faster now. Not much time to soak in the experience. I play newer games, but they don't stick like the older ones did. I guess I just miss that feeling when playing a great game...

i miss how much fun i had playing final fantasy 10

I liked 7 and 8.

Wish I had played the others

i thought 13 was terrible.

7 was my favorite. Have it still. Did another play through a year ago. It was worth it.

I do miss the old rpgs as well. Dragon Warrior series. Dragon Quest. Original Final Fantasy. Ultima. Shining Force.

Old RPGs were awesome except for the grinding. It seemed like every RPG from before the newest generation had some point built into the game where the difficulty level would go up a whole lot just to get an extra 10 hours of grinding gameplay.

FF3 was the poo though.

american ff2 is what broke the grind mold

i miss games that incorporate multiple play styles instead of just a bunch of run n gun

[mmmbeans]

played dark souls or demon souls? that shiat is old school hard.

Anybody remember Shadowrun? I used to love the hell out of that game. I played it on emulator a couple of years ago and still had fun for a while, but it does lose it's luster pretty quick with the 2D and shitty graphics.

Kings Quest and Dragon Warrior > every other game

Space Quest too. I must have died a quintillion times on the 4th game.

Also Battletoads owns your face as far as difficulty.

Also I went back and played Symphony of the Night a couple years ago and could still enjoy it.

I put down FF3 every time I try to play back through it right before the ruined world.

Dragon Warrior 3 for NES. That's the ultimate in classic console rpgs.

FF12 wasnt too bad either the story was meh but the new gameplay was fun. I'm probably the only one in the world that liked it thoa

I miss having the time it took to play old rpgs.
