What is the best RPG you have ever played

[geldonyetich]

If I'm basing it on raw hours invested, I'll have to go with City of Heroes/Villains.

I've played some pretty awesome shorter RPGs. Knights Of The Old Republic, for example.

 

[FalloutJack]

I'm gonna tow the Persona line with games 3 and 4 (Also SMT: Imagine online.), and give a "What's up, wastelanders?" for Fallout 3.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Either Fallout 3 or Morrowind. Once you get into either of those games you can spend bloody weeks playing, more so in Morrowind though what with lack of pain in the ass level cap.

Pokemon counts. Right?

 

[Charlie_Brown]

Does Pokemon count?

No, no it doesn't (slaps RAWKSTAR in face). As for me, I would go for Oblivion, since I don't yet have Fallout 3...

P.S. RAWKSTAR, I was just kidding about the faceslap thing

What genre is Pokemon, if not an RPG?

But yeah, ff6 and 7, Crono Trigger and Morrowind probably.
Oblivion just wasn't for me, and Fallout 3 is great, but lacking of that special something.

Mass Effect is sitting on my desk in it's plastic packaging - got it for £5 from Zavvi, not all bad things to come out of the recession.

Xenogears was my favorite.
Oh so many years ago.
Citan was the coolest hah..

The Xenosaga games were alright as well, but didn't live up to Gears in my eyes.

Same goes to Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross. Both those games were great.

Does S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Count?

 

[Quaidis]

... ChronoTrigger, people! Come on!

Other than that, the others are tied for second place starting with Lufia 2, Grandia 2, and Skies of Arcadia. I'm sure a Breath of Fire game fits in there as well.

 

[RebelRising]

Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and Titan Quest were all favorites of mine.

I do want to try out some of these older ones though; I've heard nothing but good things about Planescape: Torment.

 

[Xaositect]

Baldurs Gate II

Planescape: Torment could have been a really close call, but unfortunatly for that game, its story wasnt as strongly supported by its gameplay, and it also had some terrible bugs. People tend to overlook those things, but I dont, and only ever place it above BG II when it comes to game storylines only.

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

Fire Emblem 7!!!

 

[PureChaos]

Phantasy Star Online: Episode 1 and 2. been playing the Gamecube version for a few years but have recently gotten into Blue Burst

 

[shockandawe95]

little gift for those of you who played KOTOR 1

favorite quote-

i don't understand how you can stand the constant slushing master.

to be honest niether do i

 

[Hippobatman]

Oblivion/Morrowind and Pokémon.

 

[Zombie-Repellent]

Oblivion and Dragon Warrior III (Old School)

Bugger.

Anyways, Baldur's Gate sounds cool too.

 

[ctf1990]

Super Mario RPG

 

[Lucidia]

id have to say fable lost chapters in my opinion it was gd had a story line much better then fable2 and i also liked fallout 3 it was clean (well the rubble was lol) and i liked the game play and i would agree its better then oblivion but hell did them super mutants piss me off >_> xD

 

[Naeo]

In no order:

TES III: Morrowind takes the cake, no questions asked.

TES IV: Oblivion (not as good as Morrowind)

Knights of the Old Republic (first one; second one was awesome but not as awesome, I thought)

RuneScape, before Jagex went the route of trying to take total control over the game. Go ahead, sue me for having loved it.
