Overrated "Classics"

[χKai]

I am not a fan of Earthbound myself it got really boring towards end and the story wasn't very good, it is way overrated I don't know what people see in it.

I mean I don't hate it or think it's a bad game, it just forces itself too much trying to be weird and 'out there', and it feels forced rather than developing naturally through the course of the game. I feel like it's highly overrated because of that, and I still don't think there's ever a point in the game beyond the regular 'walking around and doing stuff, talking to people, getting in battles' stuff that you do in games, and never actually does any sort of 'role-playing'. You just play a silent protagonist with no real input or influence on anything beyond doing the basic good guy thing of 'saving people', and 'beating the bad guy'.

Well, have you ever played it?
At least I'm not limited to a generic silent protag and turn-based DQ combat.

I beat both games. What does turn-based combat have to do with Earthbound "not having any roleplaying"? Or Tales having more of it? It's like you can't keep up with the stuff you say.

btw, the idea behind the silent protagonist, ironically, is that they're a representation of you, so you can see yourself in the game better with one. So, you know, roleplaying, basically.

Much like the way some people see Pokémon as an RPG

In that regard, it's the same thing if I name Zelda after myself, now Zelda becomes an RPG in a sense.
