Don't take offense, I was being sarcastic. I don't know what font to use to convey that, though. So it was posted all in good fun. Most RPGs/JRPGs are more of a grind than anything really. I'll see where they will give it a difficulty of an 8/10 on trophy sites, but the difficulty usually comes with getting to a level to beat a super boss or a mini-game mechanic that's not very fun. (see Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters - Does Anybody Want to Play Parcheesi?)
I wish I were a better gamer when it came to platformers, or other genres of games.
Sorry about that; it's really hard to read sarcasm over just text.
I don't know what they'd give it a rating like that unless it's just based on the number of people who have accomplished that, I guess?
I'm not all that great at games any more either. As I get older I just like to enjoy them when I get the time to play. I've become a filthy casual at this point, but who cares?
Yeah, I apologize, I've had more than enough texting misunderstandings. So I just wanted to clear things up. No use having any tension on a board that's supposed to be enjoyable and informative.
Going by PSNProfiles, playstationtrophies.org, and like minded sites they generally rate it on how difficult it is to get a trophy and/or how long it would take to complete. So JRPGs/RPGs are usually deemed difficult due to 100s of hours that are needed to be put into playing to they them. Where games like Super Meat Boy, and Titan Souls are just hard games. others are due to having to complete a game with 0 deaths, like Killzone: Shadow Fall, Shovel Knight, and, once again, Super Meat Boy.
I'm with you, I'm older now so my gaming time is more limited than it used to be. I want to play something that won't have me ripping out my already thin hair. Plus, I'm a huge nerd, so I love my RPGs.
