I find they're less hit and miss, but still to some degree are hit and miss

Like most manga. Very much so.

DOsent help that alot of them share very similar art styles sometimes.

There's plenty of old good shit though, so I just go to that

Stuff I never played

Eh if I can torrent it somehow I would play more. Especially since most of them are not on PC

I don't just mean JP games

Games in general

I guess my statement also applies to games in general as well

A lot of old good games are on PC

Or can be emulated

Most, in fact

True

And theres also translation romhacks

*crack* *sips monster*

😏

For newer shit, I've been working through DivOS2 and Hollow Knight

I tried div

More fun with buddies

OS1 is yeah

Cause im shit at multitasking

2 has a proper party

Yup

Hard finding 4 people together tho

It's givin me those warm fuzzy BG2 vibes

Hmm, I kinda like my RPGs more linear

I was never a fan of open world

Too overwhealming

So I preferred games that had one goal but many ways to go about it

I dunno that I'd call os2 open world but I'm not very far in

Well, my issue with OS2 is that sure, there is one goal

But... theres so many ways to achieve it that I always feel that nagging feeling that I missed out on something

Some games are a little more managable.

I actually just do everything and then stumble across other options as I go

Liek for example, in JRPGs I always talk to the NPCs

And some games that compulsion is worse. In Trails of Cold steel, theres this notes system, which is basically a trivia page of the students.

So if I play through and go, oh fuck, I apparently missed one out of them

Id actualyl go back to get that one note even though it has no direct influence on gameplay.

Stumbling just isnt an option for me

I would not recommend playing Romancing SaGa then. On the PS2

Oh I was already warned
