Reply to With how bad the use of micro transactions, dlcs, paywalls and season passes, do you think we’ll ever get a game that after paying full price for it you then have to pay an additional $10-20 to actually play it? by chesterforbes
Mario maker 2 on the switch did that. I bought the game for $80 cad, and then I had to buy Nintendo switch online to actually play people's online courses. It does make sense, but pisses me the fuck off

Reply to What happened to the Nemesis System from Shadow of War? What game series could benefit from it? by Tomu_sneeder
I think the Nemesis System could have been great in a Star Wars game. Specifically, a new Bounty Hunter game.

True, but that's a matter of distinction. If two regional variants of something aren't significantly different from one another, specifying the region doesn't make sense. It doesn't offer anything. There are plenty of foods which we don't assign origins to because they're generic such that no significant regional styles have developed, or they've become so "universal" that specifying a style is only done when called for, not in general.
Game genre's are similar - no, there is no distinctly JFighter or JPlatformer, but that's because there's no significant variation on the matter. Either there aren't enough entries to constitute a separate genre or subgenre, or there's simply not enough of a difference to separately categorize it. A whole genre will have multiple series from multiple producers, which the JRPG qualifies for. Mario, Castlevania, Metroid - these are just singular franchises, while the JRPG has a plethora of IPs, multiple similar touchstones, and style that is both distinct from western RPGs, and generally shared among most entries.
It's a legitimate distinction with a significant presence in the gaming landscape.
Buuuuuuut... as with all things, especially linguistic, tradition has outsized influence. We call things JRPGs because we've called them that for decades now, and will continue calling them that for as long as civilization stands. But... that's not a bad thing. It's a descriptive name that sets a reasonable expectation, same as any genre.

This is true. Nobody called the PS1 classic RPGs JRPGs 20 years ago. That term started during the PS3 & 360 era. I use RPG.

Reply to comment by CanisLVulgaris in Is there a way to play Elden Ring for free? I would prefer big companies produce their games for free and we as the players just need to watch ads. Why does anyone pay anything for a game still? by CanisLVulgaris
In my opinion? Lots of bad rep.

Ahhhh Quest for Booty was fun! Crack in Time is probably the best game in the series but I can't help but forever love Going Commando because it was my first. :)

You’re erasing the entire point of a roleplaying game. It’s not meant for you to do everything.

I had never thought about it but it makes sense. And it's a little scary really how easily terms slip into our general lexicon without ever really pondering how it can actually be received by the subject of the term.
A good learning opportunity to improve ourselves.

Reply to Xbox or PS5 by Stankie_6504
I prefer console over PC and honestly don't think you can go wrong with either Xbox or PS5.
