Any GOOD RPG out there?

[Ryuujin]

I mean, a serious one... Ok the story line of the FF series may be good in some way, if you're generous in the way you think about it But really, I think that those rpg are a bit kitch don't you agree?

I think it was... chrono cross. You encounter a "golem" that just look like a water boiler, and you strike your opponents with broom and fryers. Wow what an awesome game... :rockets:

Or in the FF series, it was near to be a really good game but they HAD to put some things plain stupid and ridiculous in it! (I'm thinking about the chocobos...) It remind me of mario bros... you the game where you're a magic plumber and you kill walking evil mushroom by jumping on their head? These things are just gonna drive me crazy! :eek:

Anyway, I still respect thise who like those games, they have all the rights to. Bu personally I would shoot those game on sight.

So, anyone have some suggestions concerning a rpg that is serious ?

Thank you

(I wan't to make sure you understand that I've nothing against people that play and like those games, many of my friends like them! )

You mean like Xenogears? Or Final Fantasy Tactics? Or Langrisser? Or Planescape: Torment? Or Baldur's Gate? Or Sword of Hope? Or Parasite Eve? Or Vandal Hearts? Or pen and paper RPGs? Nah, I can't think of any.

If you're looking for a realistic RPG then try a D&D game like Baldur's Gate 1 & 2.

If you're including the PC, Morrowind and Dungeon Siege come to mind. Both of those are about as realistic as you're going to get. Grandia II for PC is also excellent as well.

I concur with everything above, particularly the Baldur's Gate series. I truly think it is the best CRPG series ever. I also reccomend last years incrdible Wizardry 8 (quite challengin though, if that bothers you). Also Deus Ex is a brilliant game, although it is an RPG with FPS elements. (It is not Quake though.)

For an RPG with a truly magnificent storyline, try Squaresoft's Xenogears.

yep, deus ex was an awesome game, i also would recommend fallout 1 and 2, arcanum, and my favourite rpg Anachronox.

If your looking for a Realistic RPG (which you obviously are) then equip yourself with a weapon and go outside. Gather a few friends if you want too.

[Cless]

lets see diablo, dungen seige, Morrowind, and the greatest series of all time Baldur's Gate.

[G-Pitts]

Grandia II for PC, Morrowind and arcanum.

This question has bothered me for a long time but HOW WOULD U DEFINE AN RPG? what makes a game an RPG?

[Bahamut_Zero]

Digimon World 3 will release next june

[Strider]

hmm... i would define an rpg a game with experience points and a character who has statistics and whose statistics are increased with the increase of experience. Also many other things make up an rpg but im not sure if they're essentials... but, if youre playing an rpg... then you must be taking on the Role of someone...

sincerely,
Strider

[G-Pitts]

I have the same defination about RPG with Strider.

[evil aloha]

There are a lot of good RPGs, it's just search...

[Spira]

any sqaresoft RPG is fab!
i rate chrono trigger for its fabulous gameplay and graphics.
chronocross is under rated because it didnt quite live upto chronotriggeras standards.

the game should be rated higher that it currently is

[Hellin]

just need one: Morrowind...

fallout is great too, it changes from heroic fantasy

Well this is a really good question. In fact I even don't agree with the fact of calling ANY video game an Rpg because in a REAL RPG (Like the most known AD&D or the WhiteWolf series) you have to take on the role of someone (or something) just like Strider said. You have to become the character... In a video game, you just can't! I'd say that what is called a RPG in the video game world is in some way a game that took it's roots (the game system) from an RGP ...

Yeah I had it. (I lent it to someone but I don't remember who! ...) But the game is AWESOME! It cannot even be compared to the Baldur's gate series, because you would say that Baldur's Gate is dull The atmosphere and ambiance in the game is really good, and reflect almost perfectly the Planescape world from the Ad&d boxed set.

Yeah! I just began a game with some of my friends recently It had been a long time I played though! If you're interested in RPG (REAL ONE!) and are not sticked to AD&D only stuff, try WhiteWolf (it's the company). They made a serie of 5 game (there are other but not as good) that can be mixed together. Mage: the Ascension is in my opinion the best one because it favorise the gameplay more than the other. There's Vampire the mascarade wich is EXACTLY like the movie Blade (It made me think that the movie was based on the game), Werewolf the Apocalypse (good too) and two others not as good ... Changelling the Dreaming and Wraith The Oblivion. The setting of these game are in the "World of Darkness" -> Our world in our time but with some strange things happening under cover (mage, vampire, ...etc...) Try to find some website about these one, you might be interested!

In fact when I started playing WhiteWolf game, I litterally stopped playing AD&D
