If ME is considered RPG, I don't see why Yakuza shouldn't ;)

It will probably sell the most, but Witcher 2 will still be the better game.

TC asked for most anticipated though.

The Witcher 2, I like what has been announced and I also like its prequel much more than I liked Dragon Age 2's prequel. Not only that but for DA2 everything that has been announced has disappointed me and I cant say I like Bioware anymore.

[QUOTE="campzor"] Aren't the Yakuza games beat em ups that contain RPG elements? Back on topic Witcher 2 will probably be the better title.

As much as I love Mass Effect, which is a whoooole hell of a lot, The Witcher 2 is going to be an all-around better RPG than Mass Effect 3, and possibly a better game. Dragon Age II looks meh so it's not even on my radar.

I'm far far far more interested in the Witcher 2.

The Witcher is one of the best games I've played this gen, so I'm going with Witcher 2.

I was playing Dragon Age Origins a few months ago, but I dropped it after ten hours. I found the combat boring, and the story didn't interest me. I was kind of excited when I heard DA2 is going to have a faster combat system, so I decided to look at some gameplay videos. Sadly, it looks even worse than Origins, imo.

Um... Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim?

Either way Mass Effect 3 is like the only rpg I look forward to unless Final Fantasy XIII-2 magically doesn't suck.

Old Republic.

I'm more interested in DA2. The new combat system looks a lot different but I'm not going to judge it yet.

The Witcher 2 looks good and all but I never finished the first... just too boring. (the bad dialogue/character voices don't help).

edit: Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim is way above both of those two though.

The Witcher 2 and Dark Souls will be the games I focus on most. Then Diablo 3 and Skyrim...

Skyrim>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Dragon Age II, The Witcher 2

Its Dragon Age for me but thats probably cuz I know nothing of the Witcher 2 and cuz I played the Dragon Age Origins and loved it

Mine are Mass effect 3 and Skyrim but outa those two ill pick Witcher 2.

I'd take Dark Souls over all RPGs coming out this year.

Mass Effect 3.

Mass Effect is an RPG? Well I guess you could be right. Maybe they dramatically changed the game from 1 and 2.

Well, the Witcher was incredibly boring, and wasted my time with bull **** at every possible opportunity, and Dragon Age was also incredibly boring and wasted my time with bull **** at every possible opportunity, so I'm not particularly interested in either of them.

I'll take Age of Decadence, or even Skyrim, honestly.

I mean, even if Skyrim ends up being a massive idiot fest with zero role playing, it will probably at least be fun and not an essentially linear slogging waste of time. There will almost certainly be pretty scenery and animals, and tons of stuff to do besides just hacking through copy-pasted dungeons like Dragon Age. Oh, and I can avoid collect-a-thons altogether, more than likely, and play as a Dark Elf if I want, or any person or animal less stupid and questionably sired than Geralt of Riviera (so basically every race and background in the ****ing game, besides High Elf maybe, if you want to be really charitable).

Hell, I'd take Mass Effect 3 over either of those games, even if it goes 100% Gears of War rather than just you know, 97% or 98% like ME2. There still will be nut punching probably, and Shepard might **** a Reaper to save the galaxy, or something, because his is the only penis which fits the prophesied orifice, or whatever horse puke BioWare cobbles together at the last minute, as the discs await printing.

FFXIII-2 is probably mine tbh.

One vote for Dark Souls here.

Hahaha The Witcher 2 no contest.

The Witcher 2 is a key reason I have a gaming PC now.

Is there some rule on SW that you must leave out the best options when making a poll?

Out of those two, The Witcher 2. But I can think of at least 4 or 5 more RPGs that I would rather play this year than that.

I like Dragon Age: Origins more than The Witcher, but with more polish and better resources I think The Witcher 2 will be better than Dragon Age 2. It's between The Witcher 2 and Dark Souls for me.

For me its easily the Witcher 2. The first one was great. I also strongly recommend to read the books about Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski, it is great literature easily comparable to Robert E. Howard´s Conan in quality.

Without looking at lineage, I don't know, both are intriguing. Looking at the first two games in the series? Haha, DA2 all the way. The Witcher is mediocre. MEDIOCRE! That's right, I said DA is amazing and The Witcher is mediocre......what now?Ibacai

The Last Guardian and Dark Souls.

Mass Effect 3. And also Dark Souls.

waltefmoney

ME3 = RPG :o

I can't believe how people can praise the Witcher so much.

The main thing people hate about DA2 is its combat (even though it is the same as DA:O, which people apparently loved).

I just find it very hypocritical when people bash DA2's combat, is the Witcher's any better ? Hermits also act like the Witcher is the second comming of Jesus just because it is a PC exclusive and made by a largely unknown Polish studio.
