Favorite RPG and why?

Xbox 360 has some spectacular RPGs like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Fallout 3, etc. What is your favorite and why?

Mine is Mass Effect 2. I like it a lot because the dialoge options can dramatically affect the story. Also it is an Xbox exclusive so I can go up to my PS3 owning friends and rub in their faces that Xbox is better, and you know what, I would be right.

Fallout 3 is also great becaus you can really do whatever you want, it is great.

If you pick choice 5 [RPG games are terrible] then I think that you should throw away your Xbox 360 and stop playing video games because RPGs are the BEST.

Mass effect, I like the story, the shooting, the characters, the choice of being good or bad, how in depth the place is. that is why in a nut shell

Mass Effect

It honestly made me laugh and cry and happy and angry and sad and surprised and everything else in the book

No other game this gen covers that kind of scope

it was a toss up between Mass Effect and Fallout 3. I picked Fallout 3, but after thinking about it more. I think Mass Effect series is my favorite. I love the story, the universe, the characters, and the actions. Fallout 3 is kinda bland and boring, when compared to Mass Effect series.

Fallout 3. There was just something about it that got me addicted to it. I loved every second of it.

My favorite RPG of all time would have to be Persona 3 for the PS2. But Mass Effect is a REALLY close second.

My favorite is persona 3 too but is for ps2 ... so i'll go with fallout 3, one of the best games ever

Mine is probably Jade Empire. It was for the original XBOX. It's the same development company that made Mass Effect (:GlamourKiIIs

Gotta agree with you. Jade Empire is my all time favorite RPG.

WoW. Spent years playing it, got so much out of it, so many memories. Great game, possibly my favourite. I quit though as Blizzard are starting to kill it, I want to remember the game for what it was, not for what it has become. :P

It's hard to choose one for Xbox only though. There have been many, but I tend to like the fantasy settings more. Fallout 3 was a great, solid game, but looking back on it, I can't say I enjoyed it as much as others, even with the amount of detail in it. Oblivion, while pretty generic, is better theme wise, being a fantasy setting, but I'm not sure if it's as good as F3 detail wise, I haven't played too much of it (I own it, & plan to though). I enjoyed Morrowind a lot more then what I have played of Oblivion however. ME1 & ME2 are both amazing games also, but again, looking back on them, there is something I don't like about them, I'm not sure what it is though. As for Dragon Age, I didn't like it from the get go. I haven't played the PC version, but the combat put me off big time. With that said, I could never get into Baldurs Gate either, so I'm probably missing out.

Fable is one of my all time favourite RPGs, though it could have improved upon many things. I wish a company would copy Fable, but make it more open, something akin to a third person Oblivion/Fable hybrid. Fable II was a disappointment, mainly because I hated the setting. I didn't want guns at all, & missed the armour plating, as well as the dog being compulsory. Lost Odyssey has some amazing moments, particularly the short stories in the form of dreams. The gameplay was poor, old school turn based combat however, & there were only a few characters that I found memorable. FF13, so far (28 hours) has been a blast. Most the characters are memorable, story is great, combat is fun & I enjoy the story driven linearity, which is why many people hate it. Tales of Vesperia wasn't bad either, but I never finished it.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Mass Effect 2. The gameplay is great, the story is phenomenal and the way it's told is unmatched, it has that epic feeling to it, the characters are some of the best, most diverse I've ever seen. I could go on. This game is as close to perfection as I've ever seen.

I have only played a few RPG games on Xbox, but of those that I've played, I'd have to go with Mass Effect, no doubt. The codex stories, the sidequests, the characters and the gameplay in general. It's just awesome.


My favorite RPG of all times is on the PS though, and it's called Legend of Dragoon. Totally awesome game. No game before or after can compare to it in terms of gameplay, and the gameplay is awesome. The story is also great, and I mean great, so the game is my favorite RPG of all times.

Hmm I have couple favorite rpgs from the 360.

If I can only pick one I have to go with Mass Effect 2.

Tales of Vesperia. It was just a great game, and I'm a fan of the Tales series. Gameplay was great and the art style was terrific. Awesome game. My favorite game overall on the 360.
