so, at this piont, there are quite a few great RPGs on the market for the PS3, and I am here to ask which one YOU think is the absolute best. If you picked other, please name your choice below

NOTE: I do NOT consider Valkyria Chronicles to be an RPG, since it is more of an RTS, tactics based game. It has very slight customization, but then, so does every single other game this generation. I am not saying it is a bad game, but it really doesn't fit into the RPG category.

What this person said. To be fair though I have yet to play Resonance of Fate. That should be a good one as well.

I wanna specify now, NOT really an RPG. Yes, it allowed slight customization, but this was more of an RTS game than an RPG. I will make a note of that in my main post

It's a strategy RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics, and if anything it allows for significantly more customization than most traditional console RPGs and has a strong emphasis on narrative and characterization. It also has a turn-based battle system and leveling/equipment progression.

Valkyria Chronicles. No matter how many times you deny it, it's an SRPG which, last time I checked, is an RPG.

Tough call between Fallout and Dragon Age.

I had to go with Fallout because Dragon Age is best played on PC.

fair enough, though there are many that say the same about Fallout... personally I found Fallout to be a watered down version of Oblivion. It was easier, shorter, and with a lot less loot and combat options. Dragon Age however, is challenging (almost too much so), has a good amount of loot to go around, and is plenty long enough for my taste.

I only own Oblivion, Fallout 3, Dragon age, and Final Fantasy. Out of them best story imo is Dragon age but wish there were more places to explore. Biggest is Oblivion but it got boring real quick. I couldnt get into fallout 3 at all. Best graphics was Final Fantasy but way way to linear and when you got to gran pluse its sort of werid since then i would wish it would be Linear. So imo its Dragon age> Final Fantasy 13 > Oblivion > Fallout 3

Fallout 3. I've yet to give FFXIII a spin since the game looks so asinine (Stopped playing by X when the characters got too girlish and stupidly dressed).

For me as well, though I don't know why you put Oblivion and Fallout in the same choice. I know the gameplay is pretty much the same since it was made by the same developing team, but for me Fallout 3 was like a 9.7 and Oblivion something around 8.4

Without question Demon's Souls. The game is so immersive to get into, and it probably has the best boss fights of any game on the PS3 besides the GOW series. The graphics are also good looking, and for the most part the difficulty is what makes the game so much fun to begin with. Yes, at some parts you might want to tear your hair out, but the game really rewards players for persevering and I think that's what makes it so enjoyable.

Well, as an RPG it sucks, but as an action game, it's awesome. I think I'll have to go with Fallout3/Oblivion. Dragon Age just really didn't do it for me.

average rpg: Eternal Sonata, White Knight Chronicles
bad rpg:: Cross Edge, Enchanted Arms

I really can't decide between Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls as the best rpg on the ps3

Demon's Souls is the bomb baby, I just died like 20 freakin times on the 2-2 boss within the last hour. Dying has never been so much fun.

No seriously I hate this stupid boss, I had him to a sliver of health like 8 freakin times and he some how gets a miracle 1 hit kill on me. I had to stop playing as I was gettting really reallypissed:D Now I have no more souls, no more stim pack flower things and basically am screwed. I gotta start grinding some stages all over again. I love this game, nowait I freakin hate it, ok I love it but god damn man :D

come on guys! while demons souls was good , dragon age is a far more beter game in terms of rpg... let alone the story and characters.yes demons souls was a must and a blast to play but dragon age is a better rpg . there were some issues in gameplay in DS like lets say the game doesn t inform you at all for its upgrades unless you read them in wiki souls, everything is a secret unlike dragon age where things are balanced. the various stones ... in order to get bladestones and such you must grind A LOT. while the game was hard it was nt cheap

finally the story was totally forgetable , totally unnoticed,at least to me,and i did not understand a single thing.

I guess it comes down to opinion but dragon age only had they story department better then demons souls for me (I dont look to deep on graphic and music but both game sound and looked good so that is equal in my eyes)

everything else got rocked by demons souls, the gameplay in demons souls was ALOT more fun and I like the character customization better.
dragons age combat, while it was fun I found it pretty repetitive and the character customization was really streamlined and I never really needed to think much about it and I even got skill point left overs to throw on skills I didn't really need

a really great game tho

I'd say Valkyria Chronicles. It's just much more complete as a RPG than Demon Souls, however it was still a great and unique action RPG. Close call between those two.

Final Fantasy XIII and Resonance of Fate were nice games from this year, but just aren't up there with those other two for me. They both had it's flaws and I prefer Dragon Age and Oblivion on the PC.

Valkyria Chronicles. I get the feeling Resonance of Fate or Demon's Souls could come close when I get the chance to play them though.

the difficulty in dragon age and in general in all latest bioware games needs to be toned up. i played DA in nightmare and i though it was just right....
