Does anyone else think RPGs are getting too easy nowadays with all the walkthroughs on the internet?
I remeber when i didn't have the internet and i had to play RPGs on my own without any help. Then when i finished the game i had a deep satisfaction that i completed it on my own. But now if i get stuck i just go on a cheat site and look up the game and think "why didn't i think of doing that?"
so i put this question to everyone:
Do you think RPGs are getting easier?

No there not getting easier. You said it yourself that when you get stuck you get help from Walkthroughs so there just the same really it's just there's an easy way out if you're completely stuck.
Shouldn't use Walkthroughs unless you're totally stuck and have been for a while, you can usually work things out on your own given half a chance.
Unless of course it's Silent Hill 2. :)

Is the lost age out yet? if it isnt does anyone know when its is?
I actually think that with what I've seen so far with Golden Sun 2: the lost age that this is one hard game. It may not be hard as in battling (because I've got all my original stats from the first one REALLY high up) but the puzzles are really hard to figure out from the screenshots that I've seen already.
Thank you someone agrees with me. yay
They sure are, but it isn't just RPG's, it's virtually every bloody game!
This is mostly down to developers lacking any creativity. Remember when a puzzle would have you stumped for days? Not any more.
True, the internet doesn't help, what with all the cheats/hints/tips sites around. If a game gets you for days now, you'll just go to a site or look in a magazine for an easy way out won't you?
I don't do that all the time though, I have actually sat down and figured things out for myself.
To make things tougher, just resist the urge to look for hinst and cheats and maybe a bit of the old 'challenge' will resurface!
