How can you NOT have Witcher2 or New Vegas on a list like this? It blows my mind.

Lost Odyssey could be on there to

deus ex hr.. u should be banished for not listing itcampzor
Deus Ex: HR isn't really an RPG. Not really, and I have the plat for that game. Anyway, for me it's Skyrim. I can't stop playing that game.

This just proves the thread was right with how SW has no idea what good rpgs are.

out of these options, Dark Souls.

But my REAL pick is The Witcher 2

After that, and in no order:

DA:O

Witcher 1

Demon's/Dark Souls

Risen

New Vegas

among others

Fail poll is fail. Witcher 1/2 and Fallout: New Vegas win easily. Mass Effect 1 and Risen are also good choices.

Demon's Souls. It is pretty much the only game this gen that provided a level of "personal role-playing" (not just stat-collecting or dialogue options and multiple endings) unlike anything else (except perhaps Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines). Mass Effect 1-3 provided great "outside-game" role-playing (i.e. imagining one's own scenarios in the rich game universe) but the in-game role-playing, while cinematically enthralling, was quite shallow. I had to make my "Commander Shepard", not my "Demon Slayer". The latter allowed me to be whomever I wanted to be (I chose to be an apostate Temple Knight booted from the Order, journeying through Boletaria seeking personal redemption from whomever may give it, and upholding a personal moral code that violated the tenants of the church, Umbasa be damned). The former forced me to be a specific person in a specific position and follow one of two major archetypes ("goody two-shoes" or "rebel without a cause", mixing the two was difficult as the suspension of disbelief became more challenging). The trilogy were great "games" and "experiences", but not great "role-playing games". I wouldn't necessarily call Nier a role-playing game, since it focuses heavily on a linear narrative and pre-determined characters... but it provided the means to a significant emotional investment.

I'd say either The Witcher 2 or Xenoblade. In the very least, they should at least be in the poll...

Haven't played Demon's Souls, but I played a little bit of Dark Souls at a friend's house not long ago. Seems solid. Good atmosphere. Fun combat. Was planning on getting it when it's out for PC; that's generally my platform of choice these days.

Good you need to get on that sh1t. Games are so good. Doubt they match your definition of a RPG though. At least I wouldn't describe the Souls games the way you describe a RPG should work. The bosses are so awesome though so dgaf.

Nier, are you for real? Where are Mass Effect, Deux Ex and Valkyria Chronicles anyway? Diablo 3 isn't even out yet!

Xenoblade is overrated anyway so you did well to not include it. :lol:

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Also Xenoblade and Lost Odyssey, AND he listed Diablo III, which hasn't even released yet :P

Also, Mass Effect isn't an RPG, brah ;)

charizard1605

So by your account, Witcher would be a hack n' slash? ;)

Lol no, not even close. Witcher has true choice, plus insane custiomizability, character equipment, stat management etc etc.... The only Mass Effect game that came close was the first one (also the best one :3) I wasn't just talking about the combat, you know

lolwut ?
