How do I learn to like blobbers?
I love the aesthetics of M&M, Wizardry, Wizards and Warriors etc but I can't get past the mindless spam combat. I've played M&M 6 and Wizardry 8 for a bit - they appeal to me greatly except for minute to minute gameplay.
Is this just a case of me being fundamentally incompatible with the genre? I didn't grow up with it, therefore can't enjoy this effectively dead genre?

Unfortunately, combat is an unavoidable part of blobbers. I'm pretty sure blobbers have, on average, notably more combat than other "classic" (i.e. non-H&S/ARPG) RPG genres. 99% of blobbers revolve around slowly turning your party into an unstoppable death blob (pun intended) throughout the game.

You just don't like rpg's. Mindless spam combat is part of the genre. Play a different genre or stick to srpg.

Wizardry 8 and M&M were failed experiments in making mobs exists within a 3D world. It doesn't in any way suit the flow of a blobber where combat attrition is a constant factor.

I'm sure this post is in good faith and you aren't just making cowardly meandering insults at a subgenre you don't like.Just say what you mean and be done with it.

blobber gameplay was improved by the genre's evolution into jrpgs, which is rather damning

Try playing Might and Magic 7 first. 6 is a much more hardcore game thats better for veterans. Mm7 is the first one I played as a kid and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. Also try playing heroes of might and magic 3, too. Its not a blobber, but maybe it will help you get into the lore and world since both games take place in the same setting. Also has the same monsters, which is kind of cool.

I like anime blobbers and visual novels but I do not like jrpgs, specially turn based jrpgs. Crpgs are even worse all western RPGs are shit. But anime blobbers are good! good gameplay no bloat, no dialogue spam, usually few cutscenes etc very gameplay focused is good !

Why are you forcing yourself to like things in the first place? If it's shit, it's shit.
