Out of these, which is your favorite RPG?

I know these choices may be a little hard to compare, I made sure the choices were as different from each other as possible.

Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls series - A free roam open world non linear first person RPG series where you level up based on how you fight and what you do.

Nintendo's Pokemon series - An RPG series with hundreds of monsters you collect, train, trade and battle with using an upgraded paper-scissors-rock turn based combat system.

Blizzard's Diablo series - An RPG series that cuts off all the fat and trimmings and gets straight to the point; mowing down tons of monsters with classes that are very powerful and very customizable with insane loot that do many things from healing you as you cause damage to letting you use abilities from other classes.

Interplay's Fallout series (1 and 2) - An RPG series that is all about freedom, choices and consequences. You can actually play any character you want, including being to talk through or sneak through the entire game without fighting. This is as close to the pen and paper RPGs you will ever get with video games.

Squaresoft's Final Fantasy series - An RPG series that does away with many classic genre elements and streamlines it, focusing on story telling rather than freedom. Each game is its own epic tale with a different take on combat.

Very different games that are all apart of the same genre. (( If I was able to create more options I would had added a TRPG, a SRPG, and an MMORPG. Please add let us be able to make more answers GameSpot. ))

Da Pokemanz.

Pokemon.

Clearly Interplay´s Fallout games. Diablo as a close second.

Squaresofts Final Fantasy.

Squaresoft's Final Fantasy easily, plz give me a FF6 remake :cry:

Final Fantasy. But I don't really like the new ones.

I'm sick of Pokemon, I think Elder Scrolls is boring, I tried Fallout 3 and I found it pretty dull as well. I've never played Diablo but it looks pretty boring too, I played a demo of Torchlight and it was okay but I couldn't see myself being entertained for long and I hear thats just like Diablo.

Fallout, no question.

Final Fantasy by a wide margin.

Pokemon. Consistently good games with a lot of content. Plus, none of the franchises have the almighty Munchlax.

Out of those, Pokemon.

pokemans.

Pokemon, first game I ever played when I was a kid on the old Game Boy.

Final Fantasy.

I dont care too much for the series now, but a lot of my greatest gaming memories came from the series. 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are all gold in my book. 12 didnt have the magic, but it was a great game.

I think Lost Odyssey is the last true FF though.

I honestly didn't wanna choose between Final Fantasy and Pokemon. The other types of games you mentioned don't tickle my fancy because they don't have enough fantasy to me. In the end though, I guess I would have to choose Pokemon, seeing as that's the only series up there that I have given a 10 out of 10 to the games at least once.

First two Fallouts by a mile. The older Final Fantasies are the only thing on that list that even come close. Surprised at the lack of Bioware though.

Final Fantasy for me.

The only reason I chose Final Fantasy over Fallout was because there were simply more of them. I still pull out Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, X and XII to play sometimes when I get bored of Mass Effect 2.

Final Fantasy, but I do love me some Pokemonz.

Elder Scrolls by far.

I said Pokemon but my favorite is Mario & Luigi or Paper Mario.

Final Fantasy 4, 6 and 7. To me it seems like other Jrpgs are a joke in comparison.

Final Fantasy, No question

Diablo hands down

Final Fantasy

but on PC: Diablo~

I'll have to go Elder Scrolls....It's the best wide open RPG out there.

Where the heck is the Fallout love?

Damn you kids and your pocketmonsters.

Am very disappointed with lack of any Bioware games. Even haters of the ME or DA series cannot deny the awesomeness of KOTOR. Just look up the word 'awesome' in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of the KOTOR box art right there ;)

But I guess I'll pick Elder Scrolls.

I like Oblivion, but I like Diablo 2 more. So Diablo for me. Pokemon shouldn't even be on that list. I like Fallout 3 also, but still going with Diablo. Final Fantasy is hit or miss and more miss than hit anymore.

Elder Scrolls.

Diablo, without a doubt.

Final Fantasy, for various reasons such as...

-Critical reception: On various critics' "greatest games of all time" lists, the highest-ranked RPG is most often an FF game, usually either FFVI or FFVII.

-Popularity: On various audience polls for the "greatest games of all time", the highest-ranked RPG is again most often an FF game, usually either FFVI, FFVII or FFX.

-Sales: The FF series is the second best-selling RPG franchise of all time, second only to Pokemon.

-Diversity: The FF series covers pretty much every RPG subgenre, including turn-based (FFI-III, FFX, FF Legend, Mystic Quest), active turn-based (FFIV-IX, FFX-2, FFXIII), pausable real-time (FFXII), action RPG (FFVII Crisis Core, FF Adventure, Crystal Chronicles), RPG shooter (FFVII Dirge of Cerberus, FFXIII Versus), linear MMO (FFXI), sandbox MMO (FFXIV), tactical RPG (FF Tactics), RTS-RPG (FFXII Revenant Wings), dungeon crawler (FFXIII, Chocobo's Dungeon), etc.

-Legacy: The FF series is arguably the RPG franchise that has had the largest worldwide impact, probably even more so than the RPGs it was initially inspired by, Dragon Quest and Ultima (both of which only had niche audiences outside their countries of origin).

I disagree. The closest any videogame RPGs will ever come to tabletop RPGs are MMORPGs, not single-player RPGs.

Considering how similar The Elder Scrolls and Fallout are, it probably would have been more appropriate to replace one of them with a Bioware series like Baldur's Gate or Mass Effect.

Fallout, by miles.

None; Mario & Luigi series.
