…dude this has nothing to do with whether I like JRPGs or not. It has to do with the genre itself being limiting in the game's possibility space. It's a bad genre, sorry.

Maybe thus far for you, but I know one studio that's pretty good at redefining a genre... ;)

I have been playing Mass Effect recently, and while the role playing is run, it's really frustrating since the combat is so bad. It's doubly frustrating because games like Gears of War and Vanquish have already solved nearly all of Mass Effect's problems, but it doesn't incorporate those simple solutions.

What class are you playing as? I've had some bad luck with Mass Effect games and I think I've picked classes that lead to really simple, boring combat. But I've gone back and been pleasantly surprised by a lot of nuances in other classes at times.
