I see :)

Witcher 2 or Dark Souls. :) Haven't played Xenoblade though. :(

Between skyrim, withcer 2 and Duex ex

Witcher 2 and Skyrim are the best rpgs no doubt of this year and this gen.

Dark Souls by a million times for me, perfect combination of open world, design, detail, art, combat, bosses, freedom in NPCs etc

Skyrim is a better Oblivion, nothing even close to Dark Souls design, bosses and combat

Witcher 2 has just one major boss and is too linear and limited to be considered a true WRPG, it is more like JRPGs and the most linear of them, you cant really go back to previous areas, which is rather sad, its combat and design are also simplistic comparing to Dark SOuls and has less variety too

I will be playing Dark Souls years after i have finished Witcher 2 and Skyrim, it is just a far more varied, exciting and fun game

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

I'm rooting for Skyrim or Witcher 2 to win. Me and Dark Souls arn't exactly on speaking terms right now. I hope that game rots in hell.

Maybe a save game bug? I'm just guessing since that's the only thing I could see someone totally doing a 180 on a game for.

Skyrim. It has every single thing I could ever want in an RPG.

Have you played it ? I have finished it and i could definatly not go back to any previous areas, after each chapter end

Unless i missed something ?

It is more linear even than old JRPGs like FF7-8-9, in which the world opened up eventually and you could go back to previous areas

Frankly the areas are no bigger than Fable 3 ones, in fact are way smaller and less open

In any case, in Dark Souls i can go everywhere, in every single place at any time and do anything, kill any NPC etc, a true WRPG imo and not a story based JRPG like one

Great game, but nothing like Dark Souls

Hmm, out of Dark Souls, The Witcher 2 and Skyrim. I would rate them in that order. Maybe Skyrim will climb, I'm only about 9 hours into the game so it's hard to pass judement yet, but liking it a lot outside the constant random crashes.

Indeed, they were hardly any secrets around and most areas were linear, while in Dark Souls i will probably be discovering exiting important secrets 2 years down the line

They added some funny "mini quests" of destroying a xxx number of nests of yyy monster, some of the most boring side quests of all time probably, only the lore and preparation to do them saved it somewhat

You can only go whereever you want in The Witcher 2 in acts. You can't go back to say Flotsom if you're in Vergen. Kinda sucks. :(

Not ranked Dark souls, such a bad game.

witcher 2.

but skyrim and dark souls are really really good as well.

Skyrim. It has every single thing I could ever want in an RPG.

[QUOTE="loosingENDS"]

[QUOTE="Gibsonsg527"] Yes but they are in small confined areas and the arears themselves don't give you much reason to explore them except for mabye to gian XP or look at the pretty visuals. With a game that looked soo good I was dissapointed at the lack of exploration and viratey within the environments.

Actually nothing in Dark souls feels like the mini quests in Witcher 2 and the tedious quests in Skyrim, every single thing you see or do is totally unique

I told you that curse was BS after the reports of people having to go so far just to get it removed, but people bashed me for saying that.

Xenoblade.

We're talking RPG of the year right?

Gunstringer that also got 8.5/10 here has a far better chance imo

It's a toss up between Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten and Skyrim for me right now. Granted, I just got Skyrim today, so I haven't invested much into it, but on the other hand I have only played Disgaea 4 for about 5 hours. I haven't gotten the opportunity to play Dark Souls yet, and I loved Demon's Souls, so I could only imagine that Dark Souls would rate high on my list.

Toss between Skyrim and The Witcher 2.

By score here, only Dark Souls

Dark Souls is a AA game that was vastly over rated here by a zealous review. Its a grind fest.

Skyrim is AAA everywhere.

to be honest Skyrim it has a mix of everything and caters to every playstyle and neither would i really call Zelda an RPG either.

Why not if Mass Effect 2 is one?

However.... spg sounds like single player game, maybe. SAPG, Stat and Aesthetic playing game? or NPG, numbers playing game.

SKYRIM of course
