Are Today's Role Playing Games A Little Too Generous?

Hi Members!

Not that I'm complaining but I think most(Not All)RPG'S are overdoing it when it comes to things such as: The items enemies drop after battle,finding money in almost any town,most(Not All) monsters killed with only 1 strike regardless how weak or strong your weapon of choice is,etc.

Ive not played any RPGs other than Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2), and My Life As A King, and i like all of them very well.
 
i disagree with that, some games are becoming easier or we are just becoming more skilled, even so most RPGs are still very hard these days.

No, games are going down an easier road to appeal to more people. Take Bioshock. One of the few complaints were the lack of difficulty.

again not all of the games, god of war, ninja gaiden 2, devil may cry, fire emblem , final fantasy , dragon quest, advance wars, and halo 3 (on legendary), metroid prime 3 (on the highest difficulty) are some of the examples, (even TWEWY on ultimate). some games might be going easier but others give the option to easy modes and extremely hard modes or are jsut plain hard.
 
You have to exclude games with difficulty modes, as they have...well, difficulty modes.

Exactly, so in deciding if a game is hard or easy, you can't say, "Depends on if you're on Hard or Easy mode." Just doesn't make sense.
 
I wish more devs would take the "Halo / Wolfenstien 3D" route when it comes to difficulty levels. Make the lowest playable by anyone and their grandma, and make the highest only for the hardcore masochists. Then everyone's happy.

Some RPG's still hold some difficulty to them. Take Star Ocean 2, for example. The final boss could be made so ridiculous that you couldn't touch him unless your levels were in the high 100's and you had items that could (hopefully) stop him from practically teleporting around the room dropping high damage spells that hit everyone every 5 seconds.

Though I haven't done it yet, I'm sure Abyssion on the highest difficulty without exploits and All-Divides in Tales of Symphonia is a royal pain.
