Gaming Do you like turn based RPG?

[thespanishcel]

I personally hate them tbh because they usually involve a lot of grinding, random encounters, cheap bosses and too much preparation and strategy. The origin of this aversion probably starts when I was a kid and played Sonic Dark Brotherhood on DS which is a turn based RPG. Because I was 8 or 9 I didn't know shit about leveling up or grinding efficiently, so I kept playing my game just doing the story and the ocasional sidequest. Skipping most of the random encounters. Until I reached a point where I was seriously underleveled so no matter what I couldn't progress. At that time I didn't think that I was underleveled and just gave up the game. But funny how this started my aversion for turn based games which I still have in the present. The only exception is Pokemon because it's very simple and because of nostalgia.

I know I'm probably missing out great stuff like some Final Fantasy games, Yakuza like a dragon (fuck them for making it turn based, for real), Persona, Baldurs Gate, Fire Emblem, etc. But I just can't I see it's turn based and my wish to play disappears instantly. Also while not turn based I also dislike Dragon Age Origins because it has too much strategy shit. Just let me slay my enemies in real time like The Witcher, Skyrim, Fallout or Kingdom Hearts

Depends on the game i guess. I like Pokèmon and the Mario RPGs.

Only turn based game i played was final fantasy 7. Didn't like it never played again.

 

[Animecel2D]

I grew up on turn based games. Still love ‘em to this day

Now that you mention it there's a meme that says Spaniards are obsessed with Final Fantasy VII. The game was really popular here so many Spanish youtubers and streamers played it when they were kids and put it on a pedestal which for Latin Americans is funny. The game wasn't that popular there it seems.

 

[Med Anime]

i used to play them in the past also there's that one game that i forgot it name but i played it for like years.

No it was an official Sonic game for the DS. You could recruit the other Sonic characters like Knuckles, Tails, Amy, etc. to your party and combat was alll turn based. There was a level up system with skills and sheit.

True, is probably becouse of Alexelcapo, the rest of streamers/youtubers dont talk to much about it

 

[ϟorirityϟlayer69]

Only good one is Blacks Souls kino game.
And also the South park ones

 

[BornToLose]

I had a something of a renaissance playing retro games in the last couple of years and found these to be my favourites. Like FF6, DQ5 and Chrono Trigger (this is slightly different though). But I took a break a while back and haven't bothered playing anything since.

 

[RegularManlet]

They can be bad with the grinding and cheap bosses yeah

[IncelsNeverCry]

Try Fear & hunger 2: Termina it's one of the freshest games i've played in over a decade, turn based rpg survival horror game that is brutal as shit until you master it

 

[MillionBashStream97]

I do, but I see what you are saying... Chrono Trigger is one of the few that doesn't require grinding to beat.

I think Turn Based RPGs become way more interesting and engaging the harder they are. In my opinion, every single one should be really hard.
So that your choices during the battles, actually matter. Risk - reward, actual consequences to fucking up, that can't be saved by just healing.

It's why Persona 2 is my favorite RPG, and one of my favorite games, period.
Probably quite easy for some, but not for me. And despite it frustrating the fuck out of me, it was actually engaging.

It is VERY grindy though... But I don't mind that.

Dragon Age Origins is the goat

[based_meme]

The only turn-based RPGs I enjoyed were FF7 and Divinity: Original Sin 2.

 

[Celius]

Turn-based combat is precisely why I can’t get into any of Larian’s games. If they were to drop out an update that would let you choose between turn-based and real-time like how it is with Pillars of Eternity 2 then I would IMMEDIATELY fall in love with their stuff.

 

[Michael W. Ford]

I love turn based RPGs. Final Fantasy Tactics was my favorite childhood game

[BornToLose]

Sea of Stars sounds good.

 

[lemon21]

Just had a talk about this with a pseudo-normie at work, recommended to him Baldur's gate 3 and he says that he wants to play a game not read a book. I was like ayyy lmao.

Persona series is fantastic, i don't know much people that played it and did not grew fascinated

Good points. I personally don't like them because they're not very immersive for me. I prefer TPS and FPS games because I can picture myself being the main character as opposed to an awkward turn based game.
