Games to play while watching TV
Which games do you like to play while watching TV?

Lately I've been watching Yellowstone and the story is easy to follow, it's basically a cowboy soap drama you can play in the background.

Usually idlers, or something I can play for 10 minutes while the movie ain't so juicy.

I try to play JRPGs while watching TV but it ends up being background noise til the good part gets on.
That sounds impossible. Why not just watch whatever you're watching?

Why just watch something in the world of multiple monitors? Why not game on two screens and watch something cozy like Pawn stars?

The best I can do is a 4:3 Panasonic monitor.

Well, some games have a lot of busywork and mini-games, especially games like Yakuza.

Some series are slow and the plot takes a while to move.

Now that is peak tech. I'm honestly jealous if you have one of those

Which JRPGs do you enjoy? I'm interested in the slow pace of the genre.

I have only played a few of the Final Fantasy games.
Games and background noise. Best combination but for the future reference: replace games with something else because ....

Did we have a world war 3 and 4? and was 4 fought with sticks and stone then it's still wrong.

Anyway: TLDR. ...

The best ones to play while watching tv are the ones without voice acting, the FF1-6 pixel remasters are all great, Kingdoms of the Dump is a new game and its really good and doesnt have active timing in battles so you can just pick it up and go.

Live a Live is good, the dragon quest remakes are great if you like brutal challenges even on the normal mode.

Chrono Trigger is good but has an active battle system, Chrono Cross is ok if you play that before Chrono Trigger.

The SaGa series are also all really good if you don't mind the different systems to gain stats and skills.

If you like tactics games tactics ogre, final fantasy tactics, front mission, all great.

I really love me some Square games if you couldn't tell.



Lunar Collection too, those are some of the best JRPGs from that era.

Something with the same theme like Gladiator while playing Oblivion or a visceral thriller while playing Call Of Pripyat with a French loaf and Peperami for snacking.

Thanks man.

JRPG games are pretty expensive.

Which one would you say has the highest bang for buck?
