heres the top 10 RPG's ever

[QUOTE="Jagazaar"]

Tell me, when you think 'JRPG', what games/franchises come to mind, and what aspects of them disinterest you? Just curious. (OTHER than Final Fantasy, which IMO is over-rated anyway)

Could you name a few things?

Well, fair enough I guess. I personally like the levels of party customisation and ethical, often storyline-changing choices that JRPGs like the Shin Megami Tensei series provide, Final Fantasy is often too prescribed for my tastes. Mind you, if I assumed all WRPGs are like, say, The Elder Scrolls, I'd probably dislike the genre. WRPGs do tend to have more variety, but then there are plenty of JRPGs that offer experiences a lot different to Final Fantasy, and in my opinion more rewarding.

Is your favorite RPG Fallout?

I need to try that game

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]There shouldn't be any JRPGs on that list.PBSnipes

There shouldn't be any WRPG on the list.

that's what you think lol.

And that's based on Western media.

If we go by Eastern media that number would change.

Good luck trying to find it. Black Isle is now no more, and none of their games have a publisher that re-releasing them in any form as of now. You can't get Planescape :Torment, Fallout, or Icewindale games off of any download site, like Direct 2 Drive, and being that none of he big game store sell used PC games anymore, you wont find them there.

I lost my CD of PLanescape a year ago when I moved, my wife packed it in the wrong box, and it got thrown away. Ive wanted to play through it again, but the cheapest I could find a installable CD was over 70 bucks on e-bay. Fallout is even more.

• You truly know very little, about very little. Have you bashed your head against every rock that has fallen from the Mountain of Ignorance?

• Lothar, Master of the Bones -> Ehm Planescape demands more respect! :P

Secondly where is Baldurs Gate series :?

--you BG1 :Sorry, Aldeth, but we're siding with the druids. They have this great Aloe-Vera balm they are giving away samples of, and my armor has been chafing a bit, ya know?

Those games are just classic and without them in top 3

Fallout :Harold: Mutants. They were everywhere. Seems you couldn't fart without hitting one. They were coming Mostly from the Northwest, though.
Vault Dweller: You farted Northwest?

Why does the TC have KOTOR below KOTOR 2? :okcpp2b

That's what I was wondering. I agree with the Gamerankings list.

Why does the TC have KOTOR below KOTOR 2? :okcpp2b

Why is KOTOR 2 even on the list in lieu of something like the Baldur's Gate, Diablo or NeverWinter Nights series.

Where are the classics? Have you even played them?

Chrono Trigger
Fallout 2
Planescape Torment
Final Fantasy VI
Daggerfall

Any list that includes FFX simply demonstrates that the list-creator has zero appreciation for the elements that go into a good RPG. FFX's only strong points were the top-notch (for the time) graphics and sound - and even those could be replicated by reading a Playboy while listening to the Star Wars soundtrack.

5)Final Fantasy 7

6)Xenosaga

7)Planescape Torment
