I say other. "Best of the Generation" should only be employed after the generation ends. Curious as to why only console games are on the list, since both the PsP and DS are 7th Generation systems as well.
Well i thought Oblivion was awful.
Fallout 3 was alright, it was definitely better than oblivion.
I hated Lost Odyssey, after playing final fantasy, its just nowhere near as good (im not a fanboy!
), and i personally thought the thousand dreams idea was an awful and half arsed way of presenting the back story, which was a shame because some of the backstories were excellent. I also hated the characters apart from Jansen. Overall it was bland game that i could not carry on playing towards the end of the 2nd disc.
Never played Tales of Vesperia.
Ahh Mass Effect, now this is a great rpg, its story is epic and fun, the dialogue system was cool, and it had really good combat, especially for an rpg.
Fable 2, another piece s*** from moleyneux (sp?) which was worse than the first fable.
Valkyria Chronicles is also another good rpg, the rts/shooter gameplay worked very well, the characters had good personalities and the story was deep and interesting. Overall, another awesome rpg.
However, my vote goes to mass effect.
Its such a shame that this generation has very few good rpgs, past generations had a much better variety of rpgs, the only ones im looking forward to this generation is FFXIII and ME2, and perhaps FFXIV...

Does Mother 3 still count? It's a Game Boy Advance game but it was released in 2006 and it's fan translation was finished in 2008. It certainly was the best new RPG I played last year.
i will say fallout3, although i never beat the game and eventually stopped playing after about 2 days the quests and interesting and have a good amount of depth, the combat and leveling system are also good. but i liked oblivion more because i like swords..
I see what you did there.George Palmer said:
I don't see The World Ends with You or Devil Survivor, so I'll stay silent.
Well considering most of the RPG's I've played from this generation were total shit, (with the exception of Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fable 2, which were OK,) I think i'll wait till Diablo 3 comes out for an RPG that's actually good to teach the rest of the other developers how to do it.
PS, if there is an RPG that you think is good that is not on that list then I probably haven't played it.
EDIT: I just read that post and just realised that it makes little sense. However, i cannot be bothered changing it so make what sense you can of it.

I haven't had the chance to play ID but if it is as good as you say it is and not just fanboyism then it may be worth a look into it, I do agree though limmel or whatever her name is, is incredably annoying i have no idea why JRPG's always have that 6 year old kid character that follows you around it's just annoying.D_987 said:
Strike what I said in the other RPG thread- Mass Effect, Oblivion, and Fallout 3 are all tied for my favorite RPGs of all time, since they're all so damn fun.
