Alright so I was thinking of RPG's last night and thought about what makes them so annoying...

Heres my list:

-When you get sent to places that you don't know where they are.

-When you don't do anything that has to do with the storyline until the middle of the game

-Lack of save spots

Thats all at the top of my head.

So post your angsty RPG turn offs here.

- Lack of save anywhere or softsave
- Boring battle system (ie Final Fantasy pre-12)

-Random quests that are just there for the sake of being there and don't make much sense with the storyline (Like, you get sent to collect some random magical item that doesn't really matter but you just *need* it to advance the story)

-Slow movement over a HUGE overworld map

-Unfair distribution of abilities among party members

-When someone is simply "The Chosen One" and there's not much more elaboration on that issue

The main character is supposed to "average" but is always some kind of skilled swordsman.

The main villain of the game who joins your party late always seems to have his powers drained or something because as hard as he was when you fought him, he sucks once you get him.

Too many of them have romance based around the plot. I don't mind it, but its every single game!

Wondering why the bosses from the side quests are alot harder than the final boss of the game. Why don't these harder bosses try taking over the world instead of the pathetic final boss?

Generic classes: Main hero: swordsman
Main female lead: Healer
Main hero's best friend: The powerful, but slow guy who wields a giant weapon like an axe or a big sword

More or less, the main character's hair will always defy gravity.

Hmm the worst stuff i can think of is

Horriable music mainly the battle music since your going to have to listen to it all the time.

Generic story, someones the main characters father or something predictable, or Save the world just cause some person said to.

Boring story

lame battles

Confusing as hell moments.

Stupid characters that have no real role acts like they do just to stall for time

Turn based battle system

Gravity defying hair(Although that's basically video games in general)

The main character almost always uses a sword. Can't we get an Archer, or a mage, or some sort of Hand to Hand fighter?

Blue Hair. (This being one of the many reasons I hate Regal)

Always with the Angst. (My fathers' Alive, I'm a clone, Orphan, Everyone I love dies.)

...That's basically it. Although Tales of Symphonia is my favorite game, I have to admit it contains several overused plot devices. And Regal. I don't know why, but I always hated Regal.

Wow. Talk about serious losers here. Blitzball was awesome and I'd regularly play it all the time in FFX. It was well-designed and totally fun.

Just because you couldn't comprehend the rules doesn't mean it's some lame minigame.

How can you all hate grinding and numbers and then play an RPG? I mean, the storylines really aren't all that interesting most of the time--I always figured the appeal was in massively decimating the enemy by playing the numbers game with stats, equipment, levels, and abilities.

I also guess that means there really aren't a lot of NIS fans in the house.

This doesn't relate to the topic directly, but this has reminded me of this one website I found where it pretty much categorizes things you'll find in just about every RPG. Worth a good read if you want a laugh.

I found it okay. The rules were okay, but it just kind of annoyed me because I was in the mood to play an RPG, not a sports-like game and I couldn't skip it in the game.

I haven't played it in a while though, So I might like it now.

That was great!

Only I found something very interesting... Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars BREAKS most of those rules! The only one that really stands out for them is MacGyver Rule:

(Other than for the protagonists, your choice of weapons is not limited to the prosaic guns, clubs, or swords. Given appropriate skills, you can cut a bloody swath across the continent using gloves, combs, umbrellas, megaphones, dictionaries, sketching tablets -- you name it, you can kill with it. Even better, no matter how surreal your choice of armament, every store you pass will just happen to stock an even better model of it for a very reasonable price. Who else is running around the world killing people with an umbrella?)

Princess Peach. Wanted in four cities for reckless assault with an umbrella.
Mallow. Wanted for similar crimes, but with sticks and... cymbals.
Bowser. Wanted for similar crimes, but his being throwing Mario and a Mario doll at people. *snickers*
Geno. Wanted for similar crimes, with lethal weapons of shooting pellets and stars from his fingers, wrists and elbows, and also for just plain shooting his fists.

Geno for Brawl!

The most arguably, show stopping annoying thing about a RPG is none other than...BUGGY GLITCHES.

I played Shin Megami Tensei on my SNES Emulator today, and yet again I encountered another freakin bug glitch. Damn you ATLUS... :zenitora:

My only gripe about RPGs are the lack of original storylines. I can understand the "good v. evil" part is largely unavoidable - and I commend any video game which can work around it or present it in a fresh way - but if it's uninspiring, regardless of cliche plot, then it blows balls. Presentation of motifs and themes can work wonders for games with otherwise cliche plots.
