Now recently and by recently i mean going back months I've been noticing a new trend, people hating on rpgs. Now i understand why this may be the case as rpgs are not every ones cup of tea, however all there arguments are insanely stupid. People hating on rpgs for beings, rpgs. These complaints run the gambit and some are valid, though still seem idiotic in execution. Here's an example from Game Informer's fan letter section, I'm not gonna quote exactly cause I'm to lazy to find the magazine. Basically this moron in question stated that the combat in mass effect was no where near the level of other shooters (i think he said halo but I'm not sure) and that the first hour was horrible because all he did was run around the starting city to only reveal more story. i don't think i need to elaborate on whats wrong with this statement or what GI's response was.
Yet it seems that even more reviewers are striding in this direction. More and more often I'm finding that reviewers are faulting rpgs for lack of innovation. While gripes about the story don't bother me (because i do realize when something becomes very cliche) what does bother me is when they start complaining about lack of innovation in the gameplay. "Turn based battles are 15 years old now and really should see some innovation" wtf that's like saying that shooter would be better if you didn't shoot so many people.
Or maybe the reason lye's in cutural differnces and the stream of fucking annoying retarded people who play halo like its a religion. I was perusing Machinma videos on youtube (why idk they fucking suck and love to constantly make rip offs of red vs. blue with bad voice acting and zero humor). The video in question was a preview for some Valkyrie game for psp i don't remember that looked action rpg-ish(and not Valkyrie profile so don't try to correct) anyways one video comment (and forgive me if i don't get all the euphemisms of his perfect example of the English language) went something like this.
"Wut iz this, its sum stpid jap shitz. I thughtz it waz for Halo valkyre mapz wtf"
emmmm breath in the culture that is the xbox 360. (and yes i do own one so I'm not just being an uninformed douche or a PS fanboy)
