View Full Version : Top 10 RPG games
This is my top 5 because after that i cant decide which order to put them in:
1) Fallout 1&2
2) Deus Ex 1
3) Baldurs Gate 1
4) Planescape Torment
5) Morrowind
Ok tell me your top 5/10, and by RPG n e game that has a character develodment thingamagigy, and no MMORPGs pleez
(oh yeah and s n e one else having trouble connecting to the servers?)
hmm, can't decide either ... have to add the following to your list:
Gothic I + II
System Shock I + II
Ultima series
Might & Magic series
...
too many to name them all, and some of them are probably older than some players here :D
Well the rpgs I`ve had most fun with and that thrilled me the most was:
1. Ultima Underworld 2. OMFG 3D Grafics?!?
2. Daggerfall
3. BG 1 and 2
4. Eye of the beholder
5. Ice Wind Dale with 5 buddies with laptops a hub in my living room :D.
I guess the reason for me putting up the old games here is that they where my first rpgs. I would probably laugh at them now, but when I got UU2, man it was so increadibly good. After a while I kind of got spoiled with other rpgs as they became known territory.

Er-hem... I play way too many RPGs, which is a pity, considering 99% of all games in this genre are tired old crap. And don't mention the typical Final Fantasy battles, they make me cry.
One thing to bear in mind - the definition of RPG. Now, some people have listed Zelda as an RPG. That's... odd... I reckon, as while you are playing a role, the same can be said for practically every other game ever. Half-Life is an RPG, because you play the role of Gordon Freeman, et cetera et cetera. For reference, I'd say (and Nintendo says) Zelda (in all incarnations) is an Adventure game.
I'm going to go off the proviso that RPG is the "levelling up" genre, where you increase stats through fighting and the like.
1. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)
2. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA/GameBoy Player compatible)
3. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
4. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, assuming you have friends (GCN/GBA - JAP)
5. Planescape: Torment (PC)
6. Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)
7. Earthbound (SNES)
8. Final Fantasy VI (SNES)
9. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA)
10. System Shock 2 (PC)
Tried to like FFVII and up... played all the FFs since then... what the fuck have they done to the series? Bastards...
Ultima 4 (and series)
Phantasie III (and series)
Fallout 1 (and the rest)
Baldurs Gate
The Bards Tale
Eye of the Beholder
System Shock
oh this one is cool
Legend of Faerghail
Well, is NC a RPG ?
Roadwar2000/Europe
These > All

http://www.playonline.com/archives/psgame/trigger/top/image/title.gif
The storylines, magic systems and overall playability are just untouched.
Fallout 2
Planescape: Torment
Baldur's Gate 2 (expansion was mediocre at best tho)
for nostalgia, Bloodwych on the amiga (2 player rpg on one machine! talking crabs that you can sell swords to! Insult people by calling them a 'bumblefoot'!). Though I'm reluctant to really consider it an rpg, it's about as close as it got back then.
And the roleplay parts of Arcanum - the combat was a bit dodgy and there were serious balance issues with a lot of the spells and (particularly) the tech, but it was good for the story/theme and the way the player was interacting with the story.

Mana.
The intro music still makes me emotional :P
N E one in the UK know where i can get a copy of Planescape, i've lost mine and i wanna play it again...cant find it n e where :mad:
1. Morrowind
2. Final Fantasy VII
3. Neverwinter Nights (online)
4. Dungeon Siege (I know it can be called action, before cheats it OWNED)
5. Deus Ex
I never could finish Baldur's Gate, got bored and played nwn instead lol, Great game though. Never played Fallout. I didn't play RPGs back then.
Dungeon Siege (I know it can be called action, before cheats it OWNED)
Yea this was a great game, why did they put cheat codes in it? Kind of lame that you could just cap a character with a cheat and then go online with that character...
1. Final Fantasy Tactics.
2. Chrono Trigger.
3. Final Fantasy 2(4 jp)
4. Lunar (they tie for this spot)
5. Secret of Mana
List list made me realize just how many awsome games square made before they went south.

I can't believe there isn't anyone else here who hasn't tried Super Mario RPG on the SNES. Nobody here has lived. You're all dead inside.

I played it and beat it. And you're right...its a DAMN great game, but its also a kids game...
I take it you really like Secret of Mana.
Been so long since I played it though. I got it as a rom on my computer.
Yes the opening theme is good music.

I have played it. and got cheated out of my 100 jumps the first time (got to 99 then my sister kicked the controller out of the socket, ARGH!)
I like the game, I think it's awsome, but it's nowhere near in my top 5 (or even top 10)
Whoops! I forgot About Super Mario RPG!
It was a decent game :p

Damn. I feel your pain. Getting 100 jumps was a bitch, but it paid off in the end. Mario with Super Suit + Lazy Shell Weapon, and Peach with Lazy Shell Armour made the hell all worthwhile.
And I think the "100 jumps" thing will attest to the fact that it ISN'T a kid's game. No child should ever endure that. It's worse than being beaten with an extension cord. By your dad. And if it's just because it has colours, live a little! FYI my favourite games have bright colours, and a grand total of ZERO murky greys and browns. Does that make me gay?
In no particular order
FF6
FF7
FF8
FF9
FF Tactics (but NOT FF10)
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia
Grandia 2
Alundra (The first one, not the crap sequel)
Deus Ex
:p

..................and?
When I play a RPG I want to be casting demonic spells, element based spells, fighting with daggers and swords.
I dont want to be summoning Yoshi and jumping on mushrooms, and getting smiley-faced-starts for a powerup.
Thats why the game was never a top game for me.

How so? Do you still play in a crib with a toy spaceship? No you grew out of it. Do I still play Mario games? No I grew out of it.
How is that sad?
I think the only thing thats really sad is that your favorite game is aimed for ages 5-8.
Good game.
Wow, but you still play video games (which are aimed at kids in general).
YER A GRONEZ UP NO!111
o_O

25-11-03, 23:57
Because you can't grow out of Mario games. Apart from the odd exception (IE Mario is Missing) they aren't aimed at kids.
I still maintain that Wario WILL fuck you up.

Good video games aren't aimed at kids. Disposable crap video games are. :angel:

Oh, wrong you are.
Wario is a Mario Rip!!!!
HES A WANNABE MARIO!!!!
Your definition of crap is not the same as mine.
It is obviously not the same as mumblys'.
Closeminded perhaps?

Closeminded? No...I would still be playing Mario like you two if I was closed minded. I can just accept when someones opinions differ from mine.
Both of you have trouble with that.
Well, what mumbly stated is fact.
Wario WILL fuck you up

:lol: I'm sure he will. Maybe you two have been playing a little too much Mario.
In no particular order of preference because I loved them all:
Diablo II
Morrowind
Baldurs Gate
System Shock II
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Deus Ex
Thief
Vampire
Archangel
Baldur's Gate 1
Morrowind
Dungeon Siege
Those I think are true RPGs. Many other good games were listed here (Diablo II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Theif) but they're really FPS, not RPG. RPGs have skills and classes and you build a character to follow one player path of many. Many of the other games mentioned are just FPS where you get stuff and don't actually improve your character. While yes, you are "playing a role" there is no real character-specific content.

Yea that happened to rare.
Nintendo sells, the others don't.
PS Copouts of Nintendo Games Generally suck ass.
Xbox .....................LOL
come on, calm down calm down :D
ive got a huge list of games to go and try, but still no one knows how to get a copy of Planescape Torment...:(
Baldurs Gate 2: SOA
System Shock 2
Deus Ex
Fallout 1
Fallout 2
Baldurs Gate
The Nomad Soul
Neverwinter Nights (Shadows of Undrentide)
Had to put NWN seperate, due to it being a good RPG - but only in certain cases. The SP was slightly disappointing, but there are some very good MP Persistent Worlds.
Diablo II was a good game - but RPG? No. Hack and slash dungeon crawling, nothing more.

That's because they only developed for shit consoles recently o_O
I mean, even with their games being "teh crapness" compared to their old games...
Their Recent games are far better than anything else ON that console...so.. bleh...
