Zelda is an Action Adventure, not a Role Playing Game.

Zelda isn't an RPG? Why are you mentioning it in a thread about them?

And the RPG genre is so broad that it's frankly impossible to say something like that. Nocturne is nothing like Demon's Souls which is nothing like The World Ends With You which is nothing like Paper Mario. If you're tired of them or think they've declined, try something new. I'm not a big fan of Bethesda or Bioware games, but I don't sit here saying that the genre is worse than it was during the "glory days". I got into the Shin Megami Tensei series a few years ago, despite never being huge on turn-based RPGs, and I love it-- it's arguably my favorite franchise now.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

Skyrim sucks?


LOL GTFO



Nope. Compared to the other Elder Scrolls games it sucks and it's pretty mediocre overall.

I believe we have been coaxed into a snafu.

No thought required, just spawn and GOOOOOOOOOOO

I miss the Turn Based JRPGs...

I've resorted to collecting SNES and PS1 JRPGs just because all the western RPGs are unbearably bad.

I'm just happy to see the return of the cRPGs.

Newsflash buddy, you can still play Morrowind and OoT.

So I've been here thinking for a while. While there are a few good new FPS games like BF3 and planetside 2, the rpg area has just had failure after failure. Where is Ocarina of Time? Where is Morrowind? I never thought Zelda could have a bad 'serious' game but I was proven wrong with the release of skyward sword. I mean sure windwaker was absolutely atrocious, but it wasn't really a serious release but more of something to keep the fans occupied until Twilight Princess.

And then skyward sword came out... it's like some weird dream some guy in Otaku, Japan had about Zelda, and it was a crappy dream at that. Zelda is not a shy highschool girl Japan. Zelda is BUTCH!

And then there's the elder scroll series. Which has been crap for so long it's difficult to remember the times of morrowind. Skyrim? Skyrim sucks, but people are to blinded by some shiny graphics to realize the underlying game play which makes the game horrid.
Ive played Oblivion and Skyrim, on the whole, I prefer SKYRIM

Honestly, this is a good cover up for all the idiots who won't know its a cover up .

Otaku is not a place. You're thinking of either the term or a place in Akibihara.

DS/3DS homie, it's where all of the Japanese devs went into hiding. I'm playing Radiant Historia now, plan on getting Etrian Odyssey IV, and will throw my money at Atlus whenever Soul Hackers and SMTIV come out.

I do wish we got some good HD ones this gen though.

The 360 has Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia, if that helps.

And Xenoblade Chronicles was finally released in the US.

Yeah, Ive resorted at SMT games. I have Devil Survivor Overclocked for the 3DS, and I'm probably going to pick up P4Golden for the Vita when I get back from MAGFest.

Zelda is adventure, Morrowind is the only good TES, FO3 is bad and so will be FO4 due to Bethesda being run by a bunch of monkeys.
