Recently felt the desire to play a traditional turn based RPG, you know where you must control each individual character and make each decision manually as opposed to characters fighting on their own.

I realized that somewhere along the line they stopped making AAA turn based RPGs, every single AAA RPG uses auto combat, Final Fantasy, Tales of Zesperia, etc, etc.

It seems all major RPGs have adopted to the auto combat method, you control 1 character while everyone else just fights on their own using preassigned gambits.

Is it just me, or is this very sad. Because the only way to allow users to control all characters at once is through turn based combat, and its all but vanished. Who wants to play a game where half the characters just play by themselves. Takes out all the strategy when character fight and heal automatically.

Anyways, does anyone have any good AAA turn based RPG recommendations on a next current gen console.

The only one I was able to find was "Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel" and that's not exactly AAA quality.

@elheber:

What I have a problem with is they don't give you a choice of turning it off.

I noticed this odd trend with lots of google generation web-designers, they come up with a feature that they like and then don't give you an option of turning it off. Its like they presume to know better than you on how you prefer to surf the net.

I don't know if the sense of self entitlement that comes with this gen or ego or what, but its gotta stop. Add new features fine, but don't presume I wanna use it, just give us a choice to turn it on or off.

Same thing happened with Google, they came out with search suggestion, and decided that there should be no option to disable the feature, and then yahoo followed suit and soon I couldn't use a single search engine without text prediction. Thank god Microsoft BING offered a disable feature, now I only use Bing.

Bottomline, come up with new features but don't assume people will like it and give the end user the choice.

@tom_cat_01: I've left sites before, I switched from Google to Bing because Google insisted on not allowing me to turn off text prediction, and I've loved Bing ever since, now I can't live without my daily Bing Image.

Looks like we may need to find new pastures, I'll just have to get used to IGN from now on.

What's really odd is these new hipster creative types I call them the Oreo Cookie eaters, always insist on not giving you an option to turn off their new features. Its like they presume that their idea is so good the whole world must love it, god knows how much userbase Google lost to Bing with their forced features that can't be turned off. The Oreo Cookie Eaters and their presumptions really shows the difference between one generation and another. Back in the old days, when a new feature is added, you allow for it to be turned off because there is no superiority complex with creatives, but not anymore kind of have to blame it google for inspiring this new gen of creative egos.

This is by far the worst design since the invention of forced predictive text in search engines, a reason why I stopped using Google and switched to Bing.

I have a ultra wide 2.35:1 display, which means my vertical real-estate is already about 20% less than conventional 16:9 displays, add the new scroll bar and I lose another 20% of my viewable space, making articles impossible to read.

My question is how do I turn off this new feature, I don't need articles pushed to me, I'll decide on my own and I'd like my 20% viewable space back.

If I cannot turn this new feature off, I'm going to IGN.

Thanks. Hope you guys aren't pulling a Google and not allowing people to turn off new features, that's how Bing won me over.

FYI a lot of media people use ultrawide 2.35:1 displays for work, which means vertical real-estate is very valuable to them, think next time before you design new features.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the ugly scroll topic bar at the bottom of GS.

Didn't use to be there, something that's been added. Use to be able to avoid it by logging in, now its there even logged in.

God awful design, that blocks off 20% of the screen.

Been using GS for ages, started noticing this ugly scrolling bar with random topics at the bottom of the screen recently. It's ugly and annoying, blocks off 20% of the screen

How do I get rid of it? If I can't get rid of it, I'm moving onto IGN.
