The number 1 RPG game you played?

Silver was better. Then Crystal, then Red, then Gold, then Blue, then those others that aren't as good.

Phoenix534

Morrowind IMO.

Dragon Quest VIIIDevil-Itachi

that would be my runner-up to SoA, awesome game too

Persona 3 FES, nuff said....that is until I buy Persona 4.

Final Fantasy IX.siLVURcross

final fantasy 7

I always have troubles choosing between this 2 games.

Diablo II, Knight of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Secret of Mana, Legend of Dragoon, Baldur's Gate, Champions of Norrath, Fable.

Pokemon has to take the cake. It is what got me into RPG's. Even though I love Final Fantasy, and other square games, pokemon will always have my heart for opening that door for me.

I'm glad you and I agree. Not only is FFX my favorite RPG, it's also one of my favorite games of all time.

Is there a reason why this ressembles so freaking much like a dragon ball character or is it just coincidence?

Illustrated by the same dude. So yeah they are very similar.

The artist behind it has no range.

The guy who made Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, also made DQVIII. That's why many of the characters in the game have his 'style' in it.

Chrono trigger

Demons Souls

KOTOR

FF7

Vagrant Story

I guess it's a 5 way tie, too close to pick only one fav. But at the time of it's release, FF7 probably gave me the biggest "this is amazing" factor.

I like his answer better than mine.

It's out of Pokemon, Final Fantasy 7 and Tales of Vesperia.

It's called having your own style. :P

Either the Personas or Final Fantasy VI.

Chrono Trigger and Golden Sun 1 and 2.

Probably Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

The best "role-playing" game that I've played throughout my entire video-gaming career that captured what it is like (as close as possible) to what it is like to play a PNP RPG, and created a believable, engrossing and incredibly immersive atmosphere was Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. I have yet to play any other game like it. You could play the game 10 times and not have the same experience twice.

Every other "RPG" by comparison just feels like an action-game with a scripted plot. Vampire created a "living world" that ebbed and flowed between events. You felt as if the characters were "real" figures, not just the figment of some programmers imagination. You connected with them on a level not possible in other games... because they just weren't as immersive.

I still remember, clear as day, the moment that a particular character was killed by the Sabbat near the end of the game. I had become very attached to said character over the progression of the game, and constantly wrestled with a moral dilemma about keeping them around, despite it being dangerous. I didn't see it coming, and it hit me like a Peterbilt 379 hauling a 60,000 lb load. I went insane... I literally felt sorrow and rage at the death of this character by the hands of the Sabbat... I didn't stop from then on, till the end of the game, completely annihilating any Sabbat enemy I could get my cold vampiric hands on. I just destroyed them like they meant nothing. I saw them as in-human beasts that didn't deserve to even be "breathing." They go completely against the ways of the Kindred and respecting the balance between Kindred and Kine. I did everything I could to make them suffer as much as they possibly could handle.

Even now, I still get a rush of emotion when thinking about that... and it happened almost two years ago.

LOL I may have to check this game out. You just know games are good when they bring out your emotions.

I agree with TC %100

for me: kingdom hearts, persona 3 and 4, final fantasy 9, 10, 7, fallout 3

Number 1 is always Morrowind.

Number 2 is harder. It's between Tales of Symphonia, Pokemon (can't decide which one), and Persona 4. The latter of which I haven't physically played, but I've watched a full playthrough and that's pretty much the same thing when you're talking about a turn-based JRPG.

1) Fallout 1/2

2) Elder Scrolls Morrowind/ Oblivion

3) System Shock 2

Conan running on Stormbringer 5th edition ruleset :) Either live with table, or through net with virtual tabletop software :)

From videogame RPGs? First Fallout

Planescape Torment --- it's still pretty much unsurpassed in many areas like story , characters, dialogues, relations etcnaval

I totally agree. Fallout 2/Vampire Bloodlines would probably be next on my list, and I absolutely loved The Witcher.

Fallout 2.

FFX. Got me into RPGs and into gaming in general. It just blw me away when I played it. Remains me favorite game of all-time... OF ALL-TIME! Also the only RPG (besides Pokemon) that I have beaten multiple times.

Planescape for pure RPG and Deus Ex for hybrid RPG.

Kotor.. at least until Mass Effect 2 hits the street. :D

We shall see.

KOTOR

Mass Effect
