Is playing an RPG game fun?
Well if you ask me a simple straight forward answer, it would be a definitive YES. So what makes a RPG game fun? Well to me the main element of an RPG game is its character building system. A lot of games allows the gamer to experience playing the role of the protagonist, but only a RPG game would allow you to build up the character step by step and living the growth. This is what makes the entire experience fun. Another very important aspect of a good RPG game is its story telling capability. It really gets you involved into the whole mood of the story which is being portrayed to immerse the player into the game's environment. No other game genre does it better than a RPG game. I've always enjoyed playing a lot of good RPG games and all the games did have both the character building system and a very strong storyline.
My recently last RPG game which I played was "Children Of Mana" for the Nintendo DS. I really loved the game! When I think back to wonder, what made the game fun, the first thing that comes to my mind would be building the different characters and spirits in the game. It was really a lot of fun to choose different spirits and team up to go on a journey together. The story was very simple yet exciting to live to story. The game received not very good reviews because of its very loose character building system, but I did feel the system was not bad either. I really enjoyed it.
I still remember my first RPG game, Final Fantasy for the PS2. What a game that was. It was my first shot at attempting to playing a rpg game. I really loved the complex character building system. Remember the sphere character building system the game had. man was it complex! The Final Fantasy series has always been known for its fantasy story telling. I guess that what made the series so enjoyable and it is still going strong.
A lot of gamers have taken up playing Online RPG's. So what is the fun element playing a online RPG game one might ask? Well in the online persistent world you get to meet a lot of different characters just like you who are part of this wonder full RPG world. Also the aspect of making groups and then going through the journey of the story of the game also makes it very interesting. The other main point would also be the unpredictable outcomes of an online RPG game. So many different characters can change the way the persistent world might behave. This itself fascinates me to play the game!
So give it a shot, play a good RPG game which suites your style of play. I'm sure there is something for everyone to experience in playing a RPG game.
