turn based combat can be very addictive, as long as it doesnt get too dense (like a strategy game)

organizing your characters and items is also what makes it fun. a good storyline and soundtrack are also extremely important for me, thats why i always rather Japanese RPGs

So the turn based combat to some is sort of like being a general or battlefield commander? Or is it almost like a chess match so to speak? Perhaps it's both?

I think I'm starting to understand. Or am I way off?8)

well being a big rpg gamer myself, i enjoy them because i like a good story, i enjoy the gameplay, and i feel most accomplished when completing them :PSkoll_ist_Krieg

Is it also because of the length of most of these game and the items you can collect/add to your character? Also which of these rpg games do you like?

I have never been able to enjoy rpg's myself, I bought X-men legends which is not nessicarly a traditional rpg game and still I just cant get into it. So may I ask why do some of you, well alot of you like them. I'm just curious.

My ps2 slim is three years old and is in perfect condition. I have had other systems before but I never kept them any longer than 2 years, so I have no Idea how long they would have lasted.

Really the only system that I've owned that has broke down or not work properly was a Sega dreamcast but I bought it used, so there is no telling what the previous owner did to it or if it was just a defective model.
