Ok so like I totally made a poll back in April about this (link) and you guys were all like "but Diablo 3 hasn't been released yet, dis poll isn't fair!"

Well believe it or not I agree with you, so in the honor of the release of D3 I will declare Skyrim's victory a cheat and eliminate it from the poll. I'm kidding, I wont eliminate it but it's win seriously doesn't count. This way D3 has a fair shot. So here are da contestants... again.

Out of that list, I've only played Demon Souls, but just for the hell of it, I'm going to give Xenoblade Chronicles a mention. It's a pretty amazing JRPG.

"Best RPG of the gen" and you put two games from the same franchise and two games that aren't RPGs.

Well considering that Mass Effect is the best new IP this generation, as voted by System Wars, this seems a little redundant.

Witcher 2 easily. The Souls games are the most overrated. They have no depth. You just die over and over.

Demon's Souls was very good. Dark Souls was great. Skyrim was awesome. Diablo 3, from my limited experience so far (<15 hours played) is also awesome. NIER is a once-in-a-generation game. Well, at least I hope it is because I'd love to play something that gives a similar experience next generation. It's a game that will stick with me like games such as Ocarina of Time did..

Well Deus Ex: HR was a great game, but it's not REALLY an RPG. The only RPG elements in it is the dialogue and giving you the choice to play the game stealthly or as a shooter.

On the fence between:

Mass Effect 2SaltyMeatballs

and
Witcher 2, easilyAdrianWerner

By far my two favourite.

As for the polls, I voted Skyrim *cheater*, whatever that means.

... and leveling system, skill (augmentation) trees, XP points (per kill / incapacitation), inventory, exploration of relatively large and detailed levels (hub worlds) and choices and consequences (albeit not as good as in some other RPGs), to name few more.

You know every site has the ME games listed as a RPG right?. Anyways Nier is a hack and slash (see what I did there?)

I have to say it's hard to choose from D3,Skyrim and Dragon's Dogma

Umm, no?

Takedowns, hiding behind walls / covers, climbing the ladders, all those augmentation tricks like punching through the walls and Icarus Landing System and last but not least, most of the dialogues...

Also, FP view, in and of itself, usually does not preclude a game from being considered an RPG - the Elders' Scrolls series, later Fallout games, Dead Island, etc. . Not by most of people anyway.

It's because this list doesn't have like half of the good RPG's that came out this gen, that's why I voted for it anyway, because wtf is this Nier game I've never even heard of it and then I look it up and it just looked like a generic jrpg.

One of the 2 The witcher games, which one is up to personal taste. with the souls games as runner up (mostly sue to them being more of a roguelike and not RPG).

I never have and never will consider Diablo an RPG, altho it is really closely related, (note: I havent playied D3, ut D1 &2 had a grand total of 0 choice, thus being more of a hack & slash then an rpg in my head), and ME3 is pretty much considered by all NOT to be an RPG at all.

None of the poll options are good. The Souls games are okay I guess, but none of those games even comes close to The Witcher games, Xenoblade Chronicles, Valkyria Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, or Tales of Vesperia.

Sadly this poll will only reflect the game the game that more people had a chane to play, for that reason Nier and Demon's Souls won't win even if they should.

Hey bro, Nier aint no generic JRPG. I highy recommend that you ignore the reviews, just this once, and atleast give it a rent. If you're not hooked by the first 30 mintues then there is no hope for your soul. The game is ****ing amazing.

Fallout: New Vegas. But that isn't even on the poll so this thread fails.
