Compare JRPG's to FPS. Which ones have the best stories, characters and moments?

FFXIII got trashed when it's actually pretty decent, just not good by FF standards, but then Gears and mindless shooters are praised for a good story because there was a moment somewhere where someone died and was kinda sad. I prefer creative, non-sense, out of the box stories, even if non-cohesive, to generic, non-original stories that follow all the modern day patterns of storytelling. ...

I don't understand why FFVI and Kefka are now suddenly better than every other FF. Ok, it's good and has been underrated for a while now, but that doesn't mean it's the best.

Sephiroth has the most memorable scenes of video-game hustory (aeris death, nibelheim in flames), the best character theme (one winged angel) and one of the most complex storylines in any FF. Everytime you saw and encounter Sephiroth in FFVII, you know you're f*cked! And even in Crisi...

This guy clearly never played Uncharted 3. It has the best element effects I've seen in a video game (fire, water, dust, sand).

Besides, GTAV characters still seem uncharacterized and generic as seen in the screenshots, just copies. I wouldn't mind some character detail.

Because GTAIV was nearly mediocre but holds a 98 metascore? Hype is all that GTA is about, they're great games, not masterpieces. I wonder if Sleeping Dogs had the GTA name, it would've got 9's and 10's instead of 7's and 8's.

You only have to pay for the tickets if you're greedy. The same goes with FIFA Ultimate Team and other DLC based systems. They give you 10 tickets every week, and that's enough. You can buy more so you can have more chances of being 'better' in the leaderboards. Just like you can buy Ultimate Team packs so you can get better players instead of earning them in-game.

You can still play tournaments without buying tickets, and you can even not play them at all, it...

There's still a long way to go into photorealism in videogames. photorealistic screenshots and trailers? sure, but there are some things even next gen engines won't be capable of doing (textiles, water, natural elements, hair, vegetation, realistic physics/animations, among other things). But what we want are great experiences and stories with those visuals.

GOTY candidate? looks like a 6/10 to me lmao gimmicks aside it could be a 7/10.

TLOU + DayZ = Class3?

never heard of this game, but sounds intriguing, although zombie games are getting saturated

It will be between ME3, AC3, Halo 4, Journey and a suprise (it could be Borderlands 2, Sleeping Dogs, Dishonered or other).

If Valve and Blizzard don't support it, then there is no pc gaming in W8. No Steam, no WoW, no CoD. It's as simply as that.

I don't understand this. Uncharted 2 also has plenty of plotholes and don't get me started on underused characters (anyone remember Jeff the cameraman? lmao).

Uncharted 2 just set the bar so high, Uncharted 3 felt inferior. Uncharted 3 is a great game, but people seem to only look at its flaws because of UC2.

If you want to play like Uncharted 2, go back to Uncharted 2, it still has a bunch of players. This is Uncharted 3!

Are they talking about TLOU? Because 1313 is obviously inspired by Uncharted lmao They should kneel before Naughty Dog, not trash their games.

How can this guy get so many agrees? I guess people don't take him serious and just laugh at him lmao

Yeah, and Bayonetta and P-100 have completely original gameplay elements lmao

It seems like Nintendo is desesperate since they start to attack PAS:BR. They're feeling insecure it seems.

there is no freedom in TES. if chosing what missions you want to do first is freedom, then it's ok for you. The only choise that really matters to the story is the war faction, the rest and meaningless and have no impact in the world whatsoever. TES is all about content, lot's of content and a big world to explore.

In variety and new IP's in the last 6 years, Sony (and even MS) destroy Nintendo completely.

Nintendo still can't offer variety. That's my biggest issue with them. I want to play a great SP game and then own some dudes in a MP game. Then play some FIFA or drive just because I'm bored. Or just wander in a open world game doing s**t.

Nintendo only offers JRPG's and Nintendo exclusives (got sick of Mario some years ago). They are finally getting 3rd party support, but they need EA, not Ubi. EA controls the 3rd parties (along with Activision/Blizzard).

I prefer a short campaign to those that are long only because of unnecessary side quests (like most RPG's and open world games). I find games like Journey and Uncharted, with linear but cohesive and memorable campaigns with better campaigns than games such as Skyrim that only rely on sidequests and freeroam. I'm sick of 'go get this for me to avance on the story' type of missions in every open world game. RDR is the only expection, that was a masterpiece, everything felt as a ...

Uncharted 2 (SP) and CoD (MP) were the most influential games this generation...atleast in every FPS/TPS or action game (but even in RPG's and other genres).
