JRPGs

I would consider TotK to have had some dark moments. It felt like a fairly grown up story to me. Twilight Princess wolf portions wore thin. I may give that and Ocarina of Time a go again. Both are fairly mature Zelda games in my opinion, but Zelda always has some weird shit in it. Like all JAP games.

The hours of wolf gameplay ensured I never play Twilight Princess again beyond the one time I played it.

Majora's Mask, to me, is the darkest Zelda game and it made a huge impression on me when I was like 16.

Only Zelda games I have left to play at this point are Skyward, Echoes, BOTW, and TOTK. Did all the others in the past. After trying Skyward, Echoes, and BOTW I quickly realized that all I really want are a new Ocarina or a new LTTP. No motion controls, no big empty open world, no weapons that break, no weird tools where you summon a chair instead of just swinging a sword. Just a normal, standard, traditional Zelda game. But noooooooo.

Rude Not to be bitching about negs or anything but what's faggotry about that post? What part do you disagree with?

I should rephrase about Twilight Princess, it sounds like I played it and dropped it. I actually beat the game. Made it a point when I was younger to beat all the Zeldas, but I've never quite gotten them all down because they keep adding more of 'em. And the new ones don't float my boat. My latest attempt to get into Skyward Sword got a little further than the other several times I've tried, but it still fell off for the moment.

Right now I'm playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and I gotta say, this game is pretty goddamn good and I recommend it. Very much a modern-day Earthbound type RPG with a sense of humor, real world settings, and a lot of surprisingly heartfelt moments. The first LAD was a great RPG in and of itself but I think they perfected the formula for this second one. It's one of those things I wish I had time to "do everything" in, but it'd turn into a hundred+ hour game easily. It's good enough that it'd be worth it. Just beelining the main story is like a 40-45 hour deal and that's about all I've got time for. Been playing it all month and I think I'm closing in on the end.

After LAD2 I'm looking at Xenoblade 2 for the next one, another game I've had my eye on getting back to for a while. Finished all the prior Xeno games and got about 20% of the way through XB2 before I stopped, so I'll need to re-figure out how to play. The music is damn good and it has a large amount of game world similarities with Xenogears so I have high expectations.

This month has got to be the most traditional RPGing I've done in a long time.
