can we talk rpg please?

hello joos and bros

as far as rpgs go, which single game is your fav? which series do you really like and which type of rpg do you like? aside from the rocket propelled grenade because we all like those.

personally i enjoy strategy rpgs. although it is a ripoff of fire emblem, i enjoy theshining force series. lunar is also another goodie, along with lufia. my fav rpg isnt a strategy rpg but its still a goodie, panzer dragoon saga. thats it for me. really im looking for something new. maybe someone has a game or series i havent heard of that they are fond of and willing to share. who knows.

Final Fantasy 12 and .hack series are my favs.... this gen I dont have a fav,I like ME and Demons Souls but it doesnt play like the old ones,Im currently waiting for White Knight.

i like every type of RPG equally but fallout 2 and deus exare my favourites

I have no favorite RPG games, and my favorite genres are Roguelike, Dungeon Crawler (not the crap like Torchlight and Diablo), and Tactical RPG.

Final Fantasy IX is my favorite RPG. I'm fond of the FF series and prefer turn based RPGS.

The Pokemon series (specifically Pokemon Silver) is another one of my favorites.

my personal favorite RPG is Shining Force on the Mega Drive, it is a TRPG and definetly AMAZING

second favorite Id have to say would go to Pokemon SIlver, despite being really simple for an RPG, I just found it was pure straight plain fun and def kept me hooked for over a hundred hours.

Im a Action RPG man myself. My favorite series of that genre being a very old SNES series called the "Heavens Sword/Quintet Trilogy", the "Tales of..." series and a series by the name of Ys.

If I had to pick 1 game of those series to be my favorite it would be Ys III: The Oath of Felghana. A relatively unknown but simply fantastic RPG.

How could I forget to add Pokemon? :o

Pokemon Silver was my favorite Pokemon game ever. Good times...

I'm more for Action RPG.

Demon's Souls FTW :P

I love every type of RPG. Although I prefer turn based RPGs, CRPGs, and dungeon crawlers.My personal favorites are XenoGears (PSX), PlaneScape Torment (PC) and Vagrant Story (PSX). All three of those games were great when it came to their stories, characters, settings and gameplay.

oh yes some classics there. planescape, xenogears, ys. very nice, very nice. you guys that are into jrpgs mostly just curious but which side of 30 are you on? no im not judging you :D i like some too but lately many of them are feeling like im playing the same thing. i mean cliches abound or have dialogue that just didnt translate well. i blame my age on this.

I never understood why people called those "traditional", sure they influenced what WRPGs are today but they are in no way traditional.

P.S. The "genres" listed aren't genres.

I like some of them, theyre pretty okay to me. I didnt like the one on Wii, but the one on DS is pretty fun, Ill say it was a bit unforgiving for my taste though :P

I'm 17 so I wouldn't say that I'm old I just like a lot of old RPGs, and when I say "DnD" I mean this game:

It is the first Video Game RPG.

[QUOTE="hamhero"] wow yandere are you old or just refined? i dont know what those games are you listed but i do know a lil bit and they dont sound like video games, which is what i was asking about. i love dnd universe but i hate pen and paper. i read dnd time to time and will throw down in some nwn but cant do the REAL game.

It was released in 1974, people make games with ASCII just because it's faster to develop.. Rogue, the first game with ASCII was developed in the 1980s.

DnD, Dunzhin...

i thought you meant dungeons and dragons but i guess not.

as long as they're deep and challenging and not a shallow dumbed down POS,the subgenre don't matter to me...

Nothing beats a tabletop RPG with a good dungeon master.

If we're talking the electronic type, here are a few right off the top of my head in no particular order:

• Planescape Torment
• Lunar
• Ultima Underworld
• Shadowrun (Genesis and SNES)
• KOTOR
• Secret of Mana
• Xenogears
• Mass Effect

Currently loving Dragon Age and Borderlands

You should also check my blog if you want to get into dungeon crawlers/older RPGs, I wouldn't really say I'm advertising it but I think it might help.

P.S. if you want to know more then I listed just PM me I can tell you others.

I've heard a lot of people say that this game is their favorite RPG ever, but I've never played it. Can someone clarify the reasons for its high praises?
