I made a thread a couple of weeks back about the terrible writing on 360 exclusives. Anyone over the age of 12 who has played them would agree that even pokemon has a far more sophisticated storyline than Halo and Gears of War.

You guys all remember the part where one of the douchebags said, "I wish I had asked her more questions" 2 seconds after he left the Queen Locust's lair? Yeah, no game can beat Gears of War's stupidity... No game EXCEPT JRPGs.

Things like this just make me want to cringe.

If we had to invalidate games for terrible writing we wouldn't be playing 99.9% of the games released.

This the stories in most games are terrible so it shouldn't matter.

1. That was probably supposed to be a joke.

2. Golden Sun Dark Dawn is the worst Golden Sun game. the first two were superior games to the DS sequel.

yeah they aren't as good anymore but maybe it's because the devs are being cautious resulting in bland games.

I'd imagine the text in that dialog is ment to be humorous and not to be taken seriously.  Doesn't seem cringe worthy if you ask me.   And even if it was to be taken seriously, King Wo seems pretty bad ass to me.

So one thread, I bashed gears for having terrible writing. Now I'm calling JRPGs out. That's not "almost the same" in my book. JRPGs and Gears of War are completely different.

Gears of War has bad writing and JRPGs have even worse writing.

Many people don't even bother with CoD's campaign mode. It's a shame. CoD: BO2's campaign was one of the greatest moments in FPS history.

JRPG defenders defending their crappy products: 

"What!? Fallout is the SAME THING! You fight the same enemies, collect the same items... There's no sense of exploring unknown territory or anything. No matter how much freedom the player has, that's all there is."

 

"Oblivion and Fallout fanatics are exponentially more annoying than any Final Fantasy fanatic."

 

"Hey foreigners: we find your first-person shooters boring as shit. What do you say to that?"

 

"When I see all the 'sniping' and corpse-desecrating 'teabagging' going on in US games, the thought of what what foreigners do when they get mad [in real life] freaks me out."

 

"I'm sorry, but the battle systems in foreign games are totally boring."

 

"Yeah, like Oblivion's. But I guess it isn't the main focus of that game."

 

"Japanese RPGs are created for the express purpose of letting one experience the blooming of their full powers from a total zero starting point. They're necessary for keeping public order in Japan."

 

"Okay, so give us some foreign RPGs that are more interesting than Japanese ones. I just don't find foreign RPGs interesting at all."

 

"Oblivion's okay, but foreign games lack subtlety. They lack detail, and the character design and stories are bad."

 

"Americans can't understand complexity so a lot of the best stuff doesn't get translated. Like Megami Tensei!"

 

"That bit about "The Road Less Travelled?" #7? That's a common complaint... of inexperienced gamers. Like, I felt that way when I was in grade school."

 

"So sorry, but I LIKE Japanese-style RPGs."

 

"The real problem with Japanese RPGs is that the storylines aren't written by pros, only gamers."

 

"Oblivion didn't fare that well here, and Japanese don't really get into real-time strategy games."

 

"I call 'cultural differences'!"

 

"Show me an American-made RPG that satisfactorily addresses all of these complaints."

 

"Do foreign companies even make RPGs anymore? The only games that come to mind are first-person shooter action games. If we followed this 'advice' to the letter they'd have us making Grand Theft Auto clones."

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

These guys remind me of the History and Sociology majors at my school that think their subjects are as hard as Math and Physics. :lol:

JRPGs are garbage now because the genre has barely progressed and any kind of change that has been attempted by devs has been met with mass outcry.

Dark Dawn has the weakest writing of the Golden Sun games by far, but that doesn't mean that you can judge the entire genre based off of it.
