I know many gamers aren't "watchers" when it comes to video games. You like to actually be the one playing and you get so frustrated when the person who is playing makes a mistake that you think you could have avoided. But I personally LOVE to just watch people play games sometimes...especially role-playing games because then I could be the one concentrating on this intriguing story line while someone else is doing the hardcore battling and character leveling. Now I am an RPG nut..but I have never played either Tales of Symphonia OR Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles..mainly because I didn't get my GameCube until last year lol (I'm a collector of consoles what can I say?).
But sitting here and watching my boyfriend play these games that have interesting characters and plots I wonder why people don't get so excited about games like this? Yes I know they are "last generation" games and all of you spoiled gamers want the high-definition gaming experience but honestly I think because of this "HD gaming" developers have started to go with the whole "Quality vs Quantity" theory. They would rather give you a graphically beautiful piece instead of an intriguing set of characters with inner turmoils that you must delve deep to learn about and interesting plot twists that keep you wanting to play more. I know some developers would just say "well we gave you a great looking game" and your point is? Yay for good looking game and only 4-6 hrs of game play...what is the purpose of spending $60 on a game if its not worth replaying?
