To be funny because of previous discussions today: There are no RPG's this gen. BUT in all fairness and in seriousness - I probably enjoyed Fallout 3 the most.

the rpg genre has'nt really been where I would have liked it to be this gen.

Guess I'll go with Fallout 3. ME2 is a fun game (once at least) but certainly not much of an rpg.

I wanted to say DAO but it's mechanics kept reminding me about how they were weaker than BG. They should've just licensed ADnD again.

MAss Effect 2 easily for me because Fallout 3's moral choices were a bit too black and white (do you want to nuke a town?) Dragon Age was just boring

What version of DOA did you play? My PC has..been better. I do not own a Ps3 and am wondering if this is a good winter play on 360.

Too many, but I can tell you one that won't be listed. Anything made by Square enix in the past 6 years besides. Besides "The world ends with you". (DS)

PC version. don't get me wrong, it's a good game but I had a few gripes that added up to mar the experience.

1: It felt like a LOTR ripoff.

2: The combat and playstyle is reminiscent of BG (ADnD) but the mechanics and skill trees reminded me of WoW (skill trees are'nt at all unlike linear talent trees). System Warriors would called it "dumbed down" but I hate that term.

3: The gear felt bland and underwhelming to me.

4: The story was pretty bland due to 1.

Don't take this like I hate the game, I was just underwhelmed.

My PC is pretty good so I can't really say how it runs on low end systems.

Lost Odyssey for sure. Beautiful cinematics and graphics, great music, the wonderful short stories combined with the main story. The gameplay wasn't new and exciting but i felt it worked for sure. I really have nothing bad to say about the game.

Thank you. It's really got to be hard to do anything without sitting in Tolkein's shadow though. Even Ultima suffers from this. If anyone gets this reference......tell me how awesome it would be if they made an Elric of Melnibone game. Obviously it wouldn't be available in Australia.

The Witcher is my favorite. I actually enjoy Dragon Age as well too, regardless of what everyone says the 90+ hours i spent on it were quite fun.

I only liked Demon's Souls this gen, but then again i only ever bought Oblivion and Fallout3 but found Oblivion too easy and Fallout i just didn't enjoy one bit... Although i bought Dragon Age for PC but would rather say Demon's Souls as the best one this gen.

Demon's Souls isn't WRPG its JRPG

WRPGS are shallow openworld games with terrible gameplay and story, games like oblivion and fallout

If you wanna be technical about it, Valkyria Chronicles isn't a JRPG, it's a SRPG.

Oh, I just figured a RPG made in Japan automatically became a JRPG. I guess Western developers could make JRPGs if they wanted to then?
