[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9214753, member: 6802378"] I played Diablo II when I was at university, and after killing the final boss, the game became repetitive. Not only that game, but all the genre. I suspect one of the reasons of the succes of 5Ed is because gamers became bored with those hack'slash CRPGs where only they had to terminate hordes of monsters and leveling-up to reach the next stage. Let's remember the current to-too-hidden crisis within the videogame industry. Too many gamers feel tricked by the companies. It is an industry what moves a lot of money, but now the videogame brands are losing of lot of brand power because different reasons. To create a new videogame is becoming a too risky bet. Lots of gamers know Baldur's Gate and Newerwinter Nights, but the rest of D&D videogames are totally unknown or forgotten. How many people remember D&D Capcom's arcades (Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara)? If it was so easy, other companies had tried to publish their own CRPG. Maybe there is a lot of Japanese CRPGs but only a little number with the level of popularity of Final Fantasy. [/QUOTE]
