The RPG, or role-playing game, has in the past ten years or so become a staple of the video game industry, with the support of the RPG juggernaut, Square Enix, arguably having decided the last few console wars.
Back in the halcyon days of Milli-Vanilli and The Smurfs, the console RPG was predominantly the domain of pimply teenage misfits and overweight shut-ins, but nowadays tons of folks play RPGs (and not just because increased consumption of greasy fast food and irrational fears of terrorist attacks have lead to the creation of more pimply teens and fat-ass homebodies, although those are definitely contributing factors).
Note: One of the honorable mentions is Final Fantasy VII
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

"Note: Please dont take this list to seriouslly, one of the honorable mentions is Final Fantasy VII "
Good one. But without FFVIII and FFVII it's more than not serious...
This list wud be the best list ever
But listing FFVII as an honrable mention then saying crap load of sh*t about it......."kids FFVII aint the best rpg"
Thats just ridiculous
Has anyone played Star wars Knight of the old republic....
How is it like... please enlighten
Please dont kill me but i always thought Western Rpg are crap
He said FFVII had:
Static Backgrounds - Well, so did Valkryie Profile, Lunar, and every other Final Fantasy. And Pokemon?!?! It didn't even have backgrounds in the fight scenes. WTF.
Plot - I've never heard such an over simplification. "Two Soldiers". What about the evil corporation, genetic engineering, all the sub-plots involving Barret, Yuffie, Vincent, and Cid. What about the Centra. What about the WEAPONS.
Graphics - "Aged worse than 2D bretheren" & "Blocky". Right, that's why Vagrant Story looks sooooooo much better and it's still on the List.
Skill System - "Materia Based the Worst". I guess that's a matter of preference. I liked it a lot. Better than 8 or 9's at least.
Ultimately though, list are personal opinions so I can't say he is wrong. I can just say I disagree about the order and which games he included.
Everyone agrees there should be more Xbox games on that lost... more xbox rpg
The person who created this must have been paid by sony and not to make it look that they wer they put exlusive 1 Xbox rpg
