Do you find RPGs on a small screen less immersive?

I'm considering buying OoT 3D, but I've never felt immersed in an RPG on a handheld. I can't really feel like I'm in another world when I'm squinting at a screen a few inches across. I still enjoy them for the strategy, team building and number crunching, but OoT doesn't really have any of that.

No. Pokemon White was extremely immersive and highly addictive almost till the end of the main story. I think by what you said, you should skip this Zelda on the 3DS.

Yeah, I was mainly thinking of getting it because frankly there aren't a lot of other options coming soon.

Not at all.

I dunno about you but a hand held cover pretty much the same field of vision as a television do
I dont hold a television right infront of my face

Get yourself Rune Factory 3, it is pretty immersive per se and a better story/social model than the other RPGs. You do not feel immersed concentrated on a pair of small screens using buttons and stylus?

The size of the screen doesn't have a significant impact on my sense of immersion. It's what's on the screen that matters.dzimm

much more immersive for me as I play sprites like pokemon and ys

Correct. It's an action/adventure game.

I don't know why but I actually find handheld RPGs more immersive than those on consoles. Maybe it was all those RPGs I played on my GameBoy as a kid, or how close I sat to my TV as a kid!:P

None of the Zelda games are RPG's. They're adventure games.

Also, to answer the question at hand, I can spend hours with the likes of Pokemon and Dragon Quest IX, so no.

[QUOTE="riariases"][QUOTE="bbkkristian"] This and Zelda's not an RPG ;)skooks

[QUOTE="skooks"][QUOTE="riariases"] Yeah it is, but not in the traditional sense. You PLAY a ROLE through a story in a GAME. Role Playing Game? Sounds right to me.riariases

(With your logic), Mario Galaxy is an RPG along with Super Mario World as well, Metroid is an RPG, Call of Duty - RPG. Getting my point? RPGs, need some sort of customization of the main character(s) and allow them to level up (Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Neverwinter Nights) and also another thing that differs Zelda from RPGs,which some devs arn't doing, is a Turn Based Strategy, whether ATB or just turns.

The only Zelda game to fit the category of RPG is Zelda II The Adventure of Link (which is the most difficult and most different, except CD-i, in the series).

SimCity _IS_ a role playing game! You play the role of a City Major or City Hall. The assumption is more that you can choose character types to call it RPG, but those must be easily conceptualized. Arcade games like breakout would be more easily called non RPG but the category seems to be a leftover from precomputing times. A City Major is easily conceptualized and empathized with, a platform jumping Mario is not. Maybe RPGs should be called dungeon crawlers and even Castlevania includes some character development (in the acquisition of weapons), but RPG is shorter.

i love rpgs on a small screen because i can skip all the boring bs by watching something while i play.

[QUOTE="riariases"][QUOTE="skooks"] By that logic almost every game ever made would be an RPG.bbkkristian

Absolutely not.

Examples:

Pokemon Games

Dragon Quest IX

Dragon Quest Monsters Joker

Dragon Quest VI

Final Fantasy Tactics

Final Fantasy III (Remake)

....and those are just some examples for the DS
