what kind of sadistic b*stard thought level grinding was a good idea for RPGs? I hate how this time sink mechanic caught on. it makes a lot of JRPG's unplayable to me. how is it fun to grind random battles for 5 hours just to beat some mid-level boss? what part of the game is that? :what:

grinding is not for casual gamers breh. plenty of games give casual gamers instant gratification.

I dont play console games :lolbron: and I aint ever said I like grinding a lot. the most Ill ever grind mindlessly is in an ARPG/MMORPG where farming and grinding is basically the endgame. I dont really play jrpgs so :manny:

I just said that grind-oriented games arent oriented towards casual gamers (me or you included), and are a way for devs to artificially extend a game's life.

Gang violence...
you might want to switch to tactical RPGS to get your RPG fix without having to grind so much. pure RPGs tend to be pretty bad with the grinding, but tactical RPGs tend to be very flexible about this. typically, being great at tactics or managing resources will make up for a certain amount of skill points. usually only poor generals have to grind a lot in a tactical RPG

fire emblem is almost perfect at this.

I don't mind it in certain games. I liked it in Ni No Kuni because everybody on the team gained experience compared to just only 1 character

Level grinding is pretty fun sometimes depending on the game an the end result. The only game I can't level grind no matter what is pokemon yellow.

It's not for everyone though. Some people just aren't built for it

I understand it in rpgs.

I dont understand it in fps.

To me its just a crutch for all these garbage FPS to keep playing to hide the fact the game is garbagd.


Game company : no see our FPS is only frustrating cause you are level 8 :troll: once you unlock all the guns and add ons for them then you can find the gun you like and itll be more fun :troll:



Nevermind the fact every single great FPS never required leveling before...
