Best RPG

[Ixidor]

What is the best RPG game(not franchise) in your opinion. If you think 2 are tied, put them down. I just want to know what everybody thinks.

My favorite RPG's would have to be Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Do you like DragonBall Z Budokai 1 or 2 or neither??- Xaddiline

 

[IchbinBerliner]

I didnt like golden sun too much. My vote (is a tie) between FFVII and ESIII Morrowind.

 

[JCMLR]

Fable!

 

[seebs]

Planescape: Torment.

 

[skysthelimit]

star ocean 2 and legend of dragoon. Sorry but there's no way I can choose one over the other.

 

[Dust and Ashes]

For PC, I'd have to say:

Fallout & Fallout 2 simply because there are so many different ways you can do things from smooth-talking to thieving to brute force.
Planescape: Torment for the same reason plus the depth of the world.

For XBox: KOTOR

Fallouts 1 and 2. Hopefully Fallout 3 will live up to it.

morrowind

morrowind

Wow, another Morrowind fan. I haven't played it here of late, but I picked up the Game of the Year edition back in January of this year, and I've been extremely impressed at how detailed that game is and how open-ended it is.

 

[IchbinBerliner]

Fable was a joke (I traded it in for Driv3r). Planescape:Torment was good. Fallout 1 and 2 were good, as was tactics, but I still feel as if Morrowind reigns supreme. IT will be booted to the number two spot when Oblivion comes out though, im sure of it.

Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger

 

[ond_magiker]

I second Chronotrigger. Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy 7 are almost just as good.

 

[WarSong]

Final Fantasy 8 was decent...

but probably the best RPG I've played has been Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and it's expansion pack, Throne of Bhaal.

There are a LOT of add on packs for it, it's an incredible game.

Fallout and Diablo get honorable mentions.

Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen for the PC

 

[JMRE5150]

Wait...scratch that...


Ultima Underworld I & II gets my vote. Had a momentary lapse of reason there for a minute with Clouds of Xeen

 

[SheepiChan]

FFVIII and Xenogears/Saga!

Ja!

 

[Caylin]

I have to say, even though I'm gonna get flamed...

The final fantasy series, and games like it aren't RPGs! Now don't get me wrong I enjoy the heck out of them, but there isn't any roleplaying to them. I think they could best be described as turn-based battle games with an intricate plot.

*Puts the fire fighters on speed dial*

You're right. In PC gaming, those type games are classified as Adventure games. That was the biggest shocker to me when I got my Xbox (first console since NES) and got Shenmue 2 thinking it was an rpg when it was an adventure game.
