Re: The RPG Thread
No one takes risks to try and create new and original titles now. Remember when shit like Xenogears just came out of nowhere? Vagrant Story? Suikoden? RPGs would just release out of the blue and you'd be like "yeah, looks cool, I'll try it out" and they were pretty much all awesome. Companies were more interested in developing new franchises than regurgitating the same shit with better graphics.
There's a lot of pressure these days to create highly cinematic video games that rival hollywood films, and as the industry becomes more mainstream, so too does it lose more of its soul.
