Witcher 2....YES!!!

Mass effect 3... just for the fangirls.

Skyrim... I'll take a few more things to get me excited for this one(oblivion sucked).

Tales of grace... lol atwii only owners(slap in the face).

Dark Souls....say what you want namco, this is obviously demon's souls 2(YES!!!).

Other honorable mentions:

Pokemon b/w.

Dark crusader

A ff13 tittle

War in the north

Dungeon siege 3

Two worlds 2

Tales of xillia

And many many more I'm forgeting for the consoles and handhelds combined.

Maybe the Golden Year for quantity, but not quality.

Well, I somewhat agree,. The rpg streamlining going on is kind of annoying for rpg fans in general, but when games like mass 2 get called rpg I just have to facepalm.

Dragon Age was excellent, as was Elder Scrolls III Morrowind. Witcher 2 is still the best on that list though.

Dragon Age 2 looks like crap though, it comes out very soon and we know absolutely nothing about it.

I really doubt War in the North will come out, the White Council anyone?

Still though, pretty good list. Skyrim already has my mouth watering.

I hate how they removed the PC view. The story should be excellent though.

Skyrim looks sexy though, however if it's even more similar to oblivion then I'm out, I really hate that game lol. Mass3 I just listed for the fangirls like I mentioned.

I'll go game by game on my opinion:

Dragon Age 2: Going to suck and have a lot of content cut. Will be worth buying when the complete (what should have been in at launch day) edition is out.

Witcher 2: Looks to be good. Day 1 buy.

Tactics Ogre: Looking good and hopefully it isn't too easy. Possible day 1 buy.

Magicka (RPG?):Cool little game to waste time on.

Dungeon Defenders: Could be good given it blends action RPG with tower defense.

Diablo 3 (not really an RPG):Will be good for what it is but don't see it appealing to me as it seems too streamlined.

Torchlight: See Diablo 3. First one was too easy but did have a nice charm so I could see myself getting it on sale.

Grim Dawn: Now this one I am looking forward to. Titan Quest had great development that let me make a unique character without having to choose a class before seeing the abilities. May get it day 1 depending on price.

Guild Wars 2: This is going to be my game of the year. The fact that Arena Net shows so much on the game at this point in development shows that they are proud of the game and I'm sure that will show in the final product.

Old Republic: I'm not so sure on this one honestly. It looks good but every recent Bioware game has really turned me off. Will be buying at some point to go through the story then probably drop the subscription.

Age of Decadence: Bringing back Fallout style combat with choice and consequence. Looking to be really good and will probably gonna get my money shortly after the first wave of reviews.

Mass Effect 3 (RPG?): I don't see this winning any RPG awards but it will probably be a decent third person space opera.

Skyrim: Mixed on this. After Oblivion my gut is telling me to back off but everything I hear makes me more and more interested. Gonna wait for reviews and some friends opinions before I get this one.

Overall the best year RPG fans have had in a LONG time. I'm used to getting like 3 good rpgs a year. With a potential for 7 a lot of my time will surely be spent in front of my computer.

RPG's are made for the casuals now. In fact RPG is what will replace all the COD clones in time to come.

RPG's are being dumbed down for the casual market. Which has it's virtues. Hardcore RPG's like The Witcher will still make good sales progress. I hope WRPG's do overtake the COD clones for that casual crossover.

WRPG's are a lot more popular now than they where 5-10 years ago. Even big hitters like Shadows of Amn and Planescape Torment wheren't as popular as Mass Effect 2 and Oblivion.

What makes The Witcher hardcore? The booby cards? The Witcher is overrated here by the pc fan club. If it was a console exclusive it would be just another action RPG. Get over yourself already.

Though not Demon Souls 2, Dark Souls looks awesome.

Also I hope secretly the mystery game made by Insomniac is an RPG, set in a R&C or Spyro like world.

The Witcher is most certainly not overrated. It is a very much so underrated game.
