you took the words right of my mouth basically

Planescape Tormentverbalfilth

Mass Effect? Best all time? rofl! I swear, sometimes it seems like everyone here started gaming with the PS2 or 360. Ever hear of Planescape Torment? Chrono Trigger? Xenogears?Carmilla31

I've played each of those and I can still see people really enjoying ME enough to place it near the top(if not number one). I swear sometimes people forget what's "best" is subjective.

Blue Dragon and this is my opinion remeber.deavincalhoun

Sometimes, even opinions are wrong.

Seiken Densetsu 3 was mentioned here. I can say it could have been the greatest SRPG of all time if it was released outside of Japan. The game is sometimes referred to Secret of Mana 2.

I am hoping this game can make it to Wii VC.

It'd be pretty hard to do so, considering they'd have to translate it, a feat that is considered godly for importers. And SRPG? Far from it. Very far. It's an action-RPG, like Secret of Mana, Kingdom Hearts, and Paper Mario (to an extent).

The lack of Daggerfall in this thread... disturbs me.

Daggerfall > absolutely everything.

Baldur's Gate 2
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 3(6)
Earthbound

all games worthy of best rpg imo. Mass Effect is not; it's a good game, but it's really an incredible scifi story/presentation.

blahzor

Good choices.. Also add Fallout 2, Morrowind, and Neverwinter Nights.

If your answer is not Fallout 2 then I'm afraid you're simply incorrect.subrosian

It was one of my choices.

There aren't choices, the correct answer was "A. Fallout 2". If you'd like to believe their are choices, I should inform you that I have the "Bloody Mess" trait, and cannot be held responsible for the unfortunate events that seem to occur whenever people insistent on picking the wrong dialogue choice with me :P.

Chrono Trigger. The game is brilliant. Times have changed, and as such, so have gaming standards, but I couldn't imagine anyone playing this(who neverhas)andat least not enjoy itregardlessof age. It's not only my personal best RPG of all time, it's my favorite game of all time. I still have my SNES original all boxed up nice awaiting to be replayed again (I usually go through it once a year, kind of a tradition)jhockey9

I think it's vastly overrated and the characters are terrible to put it lightly.

Well can most of us agree that Mass Effect is better than better than Oblivion? I sure think so. If it wasn't for teh technical issues, I would say that Mass Effect should have gotten 9.5. And Oblivion 8.5.DrinkDuff

No, Oblivion was better because it had better gameplay.

Xenogears by a large margin. Another game has yet to match Xenogears in terms of sheer quality storytelling.Melkari

You got another vote for Xenogears here.

:| Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, hands down.Erkidu

We have the correct answer folks, and to anyone who says I'm just being nostalgic actually go play either of these games.

I did. I didn't find it amazing younger and still don't find it amazing now. Super Mario RPG however is a great game.

I'm still looking for someone who didn't enjoy Super Mario RPG. What is your favourite Rpg anyways?

I will raise you a Jynx perk and have you misfire upon yourself, causing a bloody mess. :P

I'm afraid my "Jinxed" trait caused you to have a *critical failure* and mistype. I believe you meant to say Fallout 2 is the correct answer, though I imagine you might have several more critical failures in responding that lead you to type something *other than* "you were right". It's okay, I understand, you should probably restart and spec for higher luck next game, it's a pretty important stat at higher levels.

I still think it's a good part nostalgia, even a return playing nowdays. Nothing wrong with that, it's better to recognize nostalgia exists than pretend it doesn't imho.

And yes I've played both, back then I actually had time to play RPG titles more than once. So I beat SMRPG a few times, and CT enough to earn all it's endings... even replayed the latter again on the PSX despite it's heart breaking load times.

I've got 10 luck, and a maxed-out Small Arms skill, but you want to argue about Fallout, and I'm just going to let Dogmeat handle it.

I know I still nostagia when I play it but there is no denying it is still a fantastic game, and I regret to say I still haven't played Fallout 2. I know how terrible of me.

In terms of JRPGs, I loved Breath of Fire III and Xenogears. In terms of Super Mario RPG, good luck. I replayed that recently to see if it was good due to nostalgia and it wasn't, the game still is awesome as hell.

Edit: Also a fan of Illusion of Gaia but another game which I can't stand whcih people love is Secret of Mana. I DON'T doubt it's awesome IF you play with other people, but alone the AI characters are dumb as bricks and it becomes VERY annoying.

ALSO, in terms of CT, I did like only one part/area which was Robo's mission back in 2300.

Super Mario RPG...that game pwns this thread!BlazeDragon132

I'm sorry, the correct answer was Fallout 2. You'd think Mario could help you, but he died *surprisingly quickly* from a crotch shot.

Unless you've played, beaten, replayed, and then free roamed for special encounters in Fallout 2, you are not allowed to nominate *any other RPG*.

Fallout 2 is great, but Super Mario RPG owns this thread...I didn't say it owned Fallout 2 in any way.

MEGA-FAIL!

1st. Chrono Trigger- it is the most fun to me. Short, but fun. And the most adventurous at that.

2nd. Chrono Cross- not as fun as CT or adventurous for that manner, but it had the best story line in that it kept me guessign until the very end. Even after I beat it I had to read wikipedia in order to fully understand it.

3rd. Too hard for me to say.

Anyways since I am talking about the Chrono series I might as well say it. SQUARE could you please hurry up and finish FFXIII and put some reasonable amount of money, time, and energy into making a third Chrono? Sheesh. The original creators even want to make another one now.

God bless.
