I think games like Company of Heroes is the best role playing game that I have played. I hope to get 'Company of Heroes, Tales of Valor' soon. I also like the Hearts of Iron' games. I like sports games very much too, like FIFA '09, and cricket games. I hear the latest title from Codemaster named Ashes Cricket 2009is very good. I play games onlyoccasionally, and one of the best games that I own is Virtua Tennis 3.

Every genre has it's strenghts and weaknesses. Story happens to be the strength of the RPG genre.

I really do like a good RPG, but I can't just pick one genre out of the pack and say that it's the best. I like variety in my gaming and many genres tickle my fancy. I'm sure that goes for a lot of people.

RPG is definitely my favourite genre. I wouldn't be a gamer if I could not play RPGs.

It's the genre I like to play most, but not all the time and not exclusively. Variety is the spice of life.

Example: after playing Persona 3 for 105 hours, I was done. ButI didn't directly start with Persona 4. That feeled like an overkill. So I am now working my way through Resistance 2,withabit of SuperMetroidon the side and now and againa dash ofWorld of Goo. RPG's are a big investment timewise.

i think they're actually one of the most tired genres of games. and japanese rpgs, are in my opinion, some of the worst games out there. not in terms of production quality, but in terms of quality of experience. they're just very bland and samey.

Overall, if you ignore personal preference and instead set up defined rules for what equals "the best" I think it would come close. These are the guidelines I'm loosely speaking of- Ease of playability, easy learning curve, clear and precise rules, and understanding concept or point of game. Story/ graphics/ sound/ controls etc are just too broad to label every RPG and based off those scores label them the best, so being specific to what games or genres should do makes more sense.

It depends what I'm in the mood for. In theory, I like RPG the most, but I like linear shooters a lot of times, and platformers as well. I don't usually play any one genre too much at one time lest I get burned out on it.

RPG's are a must if your interested in story telling, appose to reading or watching a movie. It seems to me that RPG's are the only games that make you want to progress further to find out what the plot is, appose to other games draggin on into sequels and lasting only 4 to 6 hours of game play. FPS are just a fill in for Killin', with medioker stories but they are compeling because of the fast action. Yet overall, RPG are my FAVE.

To be more specific, JRPGs are my favorite genre. I love the turn based combat that requires strategy rather than reflexes, and quick response. I have fighters for that which is 2nd favorite genre.

They are my favorite genre. They pull off a story better than most other genres do. Stuff like Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and Alpha Protocol use combat mechanics from other genres so the variety of experiences you can get from RPGs is pretty broad. I can pick up a jrpg have have fun doing turnbased combat or pick up a wrpg like Fallout or Mass Effect and have in a game that plays like a shooter.

I wish when other genres add rpg elements, it'd be stuff like telling a good story and having well developed characters rather than just giving you XP for killing people.
