Re: Monster Girl Quest: Paradox
I dunno why grinding would be bad for an RPG game.
Isn't that supposed to be a natural content for it?
Most HRPGs nowadays just gets you to go around collecting H-scenes, but this one has you to work for the H-scenes and the game itself.
Its actually proving itself to be a "Hentai" and a "game".
In which case I enjoy both.
I just think that too much of the games nowadays has made peeps too lazy to even bother playing its "game" portion and just go straight for the H-stuff.
But if you do, it loses its meaning of being an H-game and the excitement of beating the game is gone.
The game is not "Monster Girl Quest" its "Monster Girl Quest: Paradox"
So there would be no point if the game is 100% alike the first game
Now think about the rehashing of CGs.
Frankly, MGQ is an HRPG that I played for the story and the gameplay... the H-stuff, felt more like a bonus to me... so its fine by me.
Its not that grinding is a bad thing, on some RPGs it is done very well, your characters level up and advance in powers and what not at a good pace, you can overlevel if you wish.
Take chrono trigger for example, you can very well just keep heading along the path and not have to stay in one area fighting enemies for an hour to level up to the required level, you can just keep going the path given to you and fight whatever gets in the way and you'l be pretty nicely leveled throughout it, with enemies not too powerful nor too weak, but evenly balanced towards you.
Now paradox, my god its bad in my opinion, because the grinding just takes so long, and I have to keep grinding at a location for some time without moving forward, it becomes boring and repetitive.
Not only that but when you finally get evenly leveled to survive the next area, you have to grind in there until you're ready for the next area, and so on and so forth, for example Illias port, north.
I am lvl 10 right now, I did some grinding there to get from lvl 7 to 10 sure, now Im at treasure cave, and for some god forbidden reason there are the mimic girls one shotting everyone in my party, that just forces me to grind more in order to fight them, which just adds filler time to it.
not only that but there are some enemies that are just annoying to fight normally, that do too much damage in too short time even on NORMAL, god forbid PARADOX...
that just makes you stay in that area and grind until you can survive the next, thats the progression, get somewhere, stop, grind, I don't feel like I am moving forward, im just doing exactly what i've been doing the entire game since the beginning...which bores me out.
