Best RPG(s) You've ever Played

[NIHILHATE]

Oblivion, Fallout 3, Arx fatalis, KOTOR 2, Fable 1&2, Pirates of the caribbean. All pure fucking genius.

 

[C117]

Final Fantasy VIII and Secret of Mana 2&3. Old-school goodness FTW!

 

[PxDn Ninja]

Man, tough question.

Torn between Deus Ex (if you count it as RPG), FFVII, XenoGears (and Saga), Bioshock, and Fallout series.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Oblivion, and BioShock.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Phantasia, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VI.

Tales of Symphonia, Wizardry 8, and Baten Kaitos Origins come immediately to mind.

Bloody...I still haven't bought Baten Kaitos! Is it definitely worth buying both of them?

ARPG. Technically that counts. Oh shit... if that counts then:

Fire Emblem. Oh yes.

 

[ALKATRAZACAZ]

KOTOR, Neverwinter Nights 2

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Tale of Symphonia. I just really liked it. Sure it's a JRPG but no turn based stuff and all meshes together nicely

 

[TheLazyKnight]

Oblivion, Fallout 3, Final Fantasy III (DS), FFX, KotOR, Baldur's Gate. Arrgh, too many to choose from.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Icewind Dale
Fallout 2
Baldurs Gate I & II
Elder Scrolls 2 - 4

 

[No One Jones]

I guess no one remembers Planescape Torment.

 

[ThePizzaGuy556]

Oblivion, Fallout 3, Final Fantasy III (DS), FFX, KotOR, Baldur's Gate. Arrgh, too many to choose from.

I know hehe theres really very few bad RPGs that i've played to be honest

 

[Quel0]

Secret of Mana... though linear, i still hold it dearly

 

[ThePizzaGuy556]

I never played it..but i do!

 

[No One Jones]

PT was written better than most fiction books I've forced myself through.

 

[Rylara]

FFVII, Fallout 3 and Oblivion are my three favourites.

 

[Skratt]

Got hooked on the early Final Fantasy series and Dragon Warrior, but found Elder Scrolls and loved it and can't get into any recent J-RPG tediums, despite how sweet the graphics look.

But, I have to say, for pure story and game play I found Arx Fatalis about 2 years ago on Steam, and thought it was one of the better ones I've played.

 

[Jandau]

For me it's a tie between Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape: Torment.

As a side note, I can't help but be amazed at the amount of people listing Oblivion, which I honestly consider a bad and poorly designed game. I guess tastes differ a LOT...

 

[NeutralDrow]

Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Phantasia, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VI.

Tales of Symphonia, Wizardry 8, and Baten Kaitos Origins come immediately to mind.

Bloody...I still haven't bought Baten Kaitos! Is it definitely worth buying both of them?

I believe so, yes.

The first game is a little more standard for an RPG, story-wise (which doesn't harm it, really), and the voice acting is absolutely horrendous (though you can turn it off, thankfully), but the game itself is pretty darn fun and the characters are still rather likable. Besides, it has one of the best plot twists I've seen in a game, and playing it makes the prequel more effective, storywise.

Origins really remixes the combat, making it the quickest-paced Active Time Battle system I've yet seen. The characters are deep, listening to Guillo and Milly banter is oddly entertaining, and the voice acting is not only head-and-shoulders above the original, but above most games in general that I've played. It also has a couple of gigantic twists that are really worth mentioning (both of which are far more effective if you've played the original).

So, yes, I recommend them both, and Origins especially.

Gotta love them post-apotlicitic RPG'S

HAHA

 

[Uncreation]

I guess no one remembers Planescape Torment.

I do. And i agree. Of all the RPG's i have played, that's by far the best, in my opinion. Second place is definitely Baldurs Gate 2.
